[Q] Difficulties Upgrading to Lollipop

Hi, first of all I want to say that I am relatively new to android and therefore only have a basic understanding of everything. My desire EYE is currently on 4.4.4 rooted and have been having problems upgrading it to 5.0, I know I have to unroot and return to stock in order to be able to flash the stock recovery and be able to then flash lollipop on there. Problem is whenever I flash one of the stock 4.4.4's found on here superuser installer is still there (even when I tell to TWRP to not install it) and when I got to the bootloader is still says that the software is Modified so am still unable to flash the stock recovery and get lollipop.
Can anybody help shed some light on this problem and possibly help me fix it?

Hi there,
I have found I was able to update using the procedure written in this topic. Could you see if that helps you?

Thanks for your reply but have already tried this and when I tried booting into the recovery menu it gave me the red triangle because I have modified system partition, and all my efforts so far to change it to official have so far been unsuccessful
In fact tried it again and it worked this time, however when I try and download the update on my phone a message pop's up saying my phone can't be updated because the software is modified and not official HTC firmware

5.1.1

My s6 edge is rooted so I know that OTA update wont work but neither will SmartSwitch. It just doesn't say an update is available. I found an official 5.1.1 stock file but it says 18 hours to download because it is filegator and ul. Is there any other way I can update? Any faster link?

The safest way to update would be to unroot, do a factory reset and wait for ota.
At present there is no advantage to rooting, TWRP is not being developed, no custom roms to install and if you get frp lock you will brick your phone.

There is twrp for 5.1.1 and I have a custom 5.1.1 rom on my tmobile s6 edge as we speak...if you need some help after searching the threads I could point you in the right direction!

Here's a side note on "custom roms".
Hello! This is my first post, please move my thread if I posted it on the wrong place.
Issue:
Tried to root a costum rom for my S6 edge. I used ODIN to root BL and a modem. A message came up "Custom binary blocked by Reactivation Lock". Went i booted my phone up, it's stuck on Samsung Galaxy S6 edge screen. A red text in the upper left corner says "Kernel rev. Check fail. Device: 2, Binary: 1"
So the problem is I can not boot my phone. Tried to download stock firmware and root it via Odin. Did not work. I can not get into recovery mode either.
Please help me. My phone is stuck and can not be used.
Kind regards.

Impossible to downgrade N910H to kitkat 4.4.4 **challenge**

Dear friends, it's the first time that I write a thread seeking your help.
I purchased my note 4 N910H 5.1.1 few weeks ago and I discovered that battery drains in a horrible fast way even if it is turned off (6 to 7 hours max). I read that many people had the same problem and that after a downgrade to kitkat this issue was solved. So I decided to do so.
I tried all methods I found on forums; all files I found on sammobile. No success.
I only could install 2 files..
1- N910HXXU2COJ4_N910HOLB2COJ2_N910HXXU1COJ2_HOME.tar is a 5.1.1 with CSC from Cambodia (CAM). I don't think it is the good one coz after installing it I could not do an update with kies (shows an unknown error).
2- N910HXXU2COJ4_N910HOJV2COJ1_N910HXXU1COJ2_HOME.tar is also a 5.1.1 with CSC from Iraq (MID). With it, kies accepted to update firmware without problems, so I think it's the good one.
I also found a 4 files ROM N910HXXU1ANJ4_OLB1ANJ4 it is a kitkat ROM but can not be flashed (Odin shows nand writing error). I tries to flash this rom without loading Bootloader file.. it worked but phone was stuck on a bootloop and could start again only after flashing 5.1.1 ROM.
I think that bootloader is locked or secured somehow and refuses all roms.
What is the solution? is there an other kitkat ROM with same actual bootloader maybe? is there a way to change bootloader version?
