Yes, use fastboot or factory reset and install a custom rom. Do not restore (anything) with the version of TWRP you are using and you will be fine.

Hmm, somehow I missed your actual question. I'm not familiar with the downgrade process using Flashfire since you want to factory reset to move back down to Marshmallow.

Ok so ill just use fastboot to downgrade, thanks man

hi, I just recently aquired the Nexus 7 2013 model, and I am currently not rooted. I want to root but I dont want to run CM or all the other custom roms. I just want a stock rooted rom.
Is there a stock rooted 4.4.2 rom for this device?
That is all, thanks!
There is one here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2563017
You will need a custom recovery in order to flash it!
Or you can just flash the SuperSU zip in recovery and it'll be rooted

You will need to unlock the bootloader first before flashing a root zip. Then you will have a stock rooted ROM. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XM3CBtAaoWU

I'm curious. I've never used a device with a locked bootloader. Since this tablet is about to get the 4.4.3 update, will unlocking the bootloader affect the update? Will I still receive the update.
I'm planning on unlocking the bootloader but not flashing the rootzip yet until I get the update.

Yes, you will still receive the OTA. Having an unlocked bootloader has no effect on updating via OTA.
You could just root and then re-lock the bootloader

That won't work. If you relock the bootloader everything has to be stock.
It would just refuse to lock

Only recovery needs to be stock to relock the bootloader, you can unlock, root and then relock - then you have rooted stock ROM and a locked bootloader without having to flash a custom recovery or ROM.

Are you sure? This wasn't the case with my Motorola Xoom. I thought everything needs to be stock, wouldn't this defeat the point of relocking since its meant to be factory settings for warranty purposes?

Have done it on both my N7 and N5 - does provide a small measure of security for the phone (my company allows rooted devices, but only with locked bootloaders) see http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/help/info-understanding-risks-unlocked-t1898664
after rooting - fastboot oem lock

fair enough, I stand corrected! Didn't know you could re-lock a rooted device.
So could you flash OmniROM, flash stock recovery and re-lock?

From what I understand, yes, that is correct - although I have heard that some ROMs require a custom recovery

Hi everyone,
I have a dev edition m9. I updated to marshmallow via OTA earlier today. The update is working fine. I flashed TWRP 2.8.7.0 and that's working fine as well. But when I try to root the system, it gets stuck on the HTC logo. I have tried it with SuperSU 2.46 (stable) and 2.52 (beta). Both times, I had to reboot into recovery, wipe cache and restore the system image backup to get my system back in working state. Please help as I need root access. Thanks.

What does that mean?
Your bootloader is the animation when u power on the device watch the videos on YouTube ...just search nexus 5x root there are a few I know its a different phone than u have but the process will be very similar

It talks about flashing a modified boot. I haven't seen any boot image corresponding to the M9.
U said u just got the ota today ,correct?.... Just keep checking in for it ....I'm sure it'll be available in a week or two
Sent from my Nexus 5X using XDA Free mobile app
@bigduke$: That's not really the solution for that problem. The M9 doesn't get rooted the same way the Nexus 5x does.
@slvrhwk: You need to use SuperSU 2.65 and TWRP 2.8.7.1-Beta1. Android M needs system-less root that's why your system didn't boot.

Hey guys,
I was just wondering if someone found a way to root the xperia Z5 premium running on marshmallow 6.0.1
Unlock boot loader with flashtool. Flash this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3355369. Simplest way
Sent from my E6853 using Tapatalk
but if flash with this method have not lost Drm keys?
first, you have to flash android 5.X any version
second, make a root kernel or download one
third, unlocked bootloader your devices
fourth, flash android 6.0.1 and flash root kernel
finish ! enjoy your root devices
Well... The method I mentioned has the DRM simulation included. Read some in the tread if you are unsure.
Not sure why you should mess with 5.x before rooting... I rooted directly when unlocking 6.0.0 and downloading the 6.0.1 version with flashtool.

The reason for flashing android 5.X is only if you've not already unlocked the bootloader and decided on taking a TA backup so you can restore the phone to stock in the future

You can fully reactivate your drm keys as well on an unlocked bootloader (so not just emulate and for restore to stock) if you backed up your TA with iovyroot on LL by flashing restore-drm-keys.ftf
Hello guys, i'm planning to unlock my phone's bootloader, since its my first time on my Zenfone(I only use tethered recovery to flash root and xposed, i also have experience of unlocking the bootloader before on my previous device Xperia ZR but done it in a official way) i was wondering if the unofficial method i'm reading on some sites won't void my Asus warranty?
If any of this links is the right tutorial for unlocking bootloader in a unofficial way, kindly tell me if its still working for the latest 2.20.40.184 LP Firmware:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenf...-root-t3155884
http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenf...ocked-t3138547
Plz correct the links above
This is the correct link http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/congrats-to-bootlocker-unlocked-t3138547
Try it with the current firmware if it doesn't work then u can try dowgrading
U should see a white boot screen instead of black if its unlocked

Yes if they don't find it via other means then u r ok with warranty
I don't recommend flashing the MM Beta Firmware cause it can potentially brick ur device

Actually, i already tried MM Beta before but i got annoyed by the bugs and lack of root functionality before so i reverted back to LP Stock.
Gonna wait for the MM Final release instead, atleast now i know how to unlock bootloader when MM Final is release incase there's no Tethered Recovery yet. thanks again for the response and tip.

I highly doubt that the current bootloader unlock method would work on MM Official release cause it doesnt work on MM Beta

One way is using kingoroot, then install SuperSU thru play store and make it install normally, then get autorec for mm and reboot to recovery
