[ROM][STOCK][D855][20A- LRX21M][OFFICIAL] Lollipop rooted ROM by skin1980

[Skin1980]

Hi all, i'm pleased to share my work with you.

Here you have the latest official lollipop firmware for D855 ( v. 20A - LRX21M) packed in a zip flashable file.

I made this because all of us want to keep the old bootloader that is - at the moment - the only one who accept the bumped TWRP provided us by team Codefire.

I made also a step further and found a way to root this ROM.

Here you go:

First of all i suggest you to install the TWRP modded by me to allow the backup of the modem.
Be sure you select also the modem partition before taking the backup. ( If you want to restore the backup then restore also the modem )

1- download the two files and put them into the sdcard;

2- reboot in recovery and do a factory reset;

3- install the ROM and the supersu ZIP;

4- reboot the device and enjoy your rooted Lollipop ROM.

If you come from an earlier lollipop firmware you can dirty flash, it might work.

I spend a lot of time developing this so if you think i deserve you can donate ( look at my sign )

Q&A

What this ROM include?
In the ROM zip you can find only the system, modem and kernel (bumped) image

What do i need to flash this?
You need only to have the TWRP recovery installed

If i flash this i will lose the bumped recovery?
Nope. The bootloader will not be changed.

If i want go back to KK roms ( stock or AOSP) what i have to do?
Just flash your ROM or restore a previous nandroid backup. But, after that, flash the zip with the KK modem you can find in the 1st post.

I really need to flash the root files?
Must i answer????

Cannot write to internal SD?

With adb or a terminal emulator do:

su
restorecon -v -R /data/media

Your statusbar and navbar are gone?
This is a issue reported from some user.
Try to format manually data in TWRP before install the rom.
If this doesn't work try flashing the kdz of the H firmware ---> root ----> twrp ----> install this rom ( sperimental).

Doesn't have the option to enable LTE?
Go with a root browser to system/app/Lteconfigs/, click and install the apk, then reboot and you will have the option for LTE.

beast.
thank you! could you possibly link to the tot/kdz you used to downgrade from lollipop to kitkat?

 

[yocasta]

What kernel do you use for rooting? 4.4 or custom?

 

[agelus69]

Wait wut? So this is all done in the stock recovery? No root, no custom recovery needed? Just bang it all on the sd card and go?

super work :good:

But be careful at the modem!!! It was not compatible with our country

 

[yocasta]

I patched the stock kernel...

Sweet, great news!

 

[jamiepotter]

Sorry for this question but after flashing this rom via bump twrp can we go back to KK Aosp by flashing it back? Or do we need to connect to a PC to restore back to stock fw?

The D855 is the international version.

The modems are interchangeable.
