Any chance there'll be one done sans the bootloader? Btw, I'm referring to the DE model.

Tia,

First off, Koff sumbish V.

Note that that's outta the way, *If the flashable zip(in twrp/cwm) will never happen, can one flash the stock recovery w/Flashify, accept the ota, then reflash twrp/cwm in Flashify?

Yes, I doubt someone will go to the trouble of modding the OTA for a custom recovery when it would only be saving you a few minutes of flashing stock recovery, stock system, OTA, custom recovery, root. It is after all developer friendly.

but it just makes common sense to do this since i'm having to figure out how to get stock recoveries for other variants. where is the sbfs?????

I, for one, would prefer to have a flashable zip to use via twrp. I've followed the instructions for restoring stock recovery, uninstalling xposed... But the ota still fails.

It shouldn't have to be this hard on a DEVELOPER device.

Try flashing the stock system partition... might be something else on system that you missed.

Man, I'm hitting a wall at every turn. I don't know why this is overly complicated on a "Dev" device.

Its not complicated. You need to be fully stock...no modifications for an ota. Or...wait for flashable files. (My choice usually)

If you want the ota and can't wait. The easiest thing to do...in my opinion ...is rsdlite to stock rom. Take ota. Reroot after. Simple. You will get your phone completely wiped tho.

Having a dev edition has no benefit for any of this. The ota is meant for stock...unrooted..."regular " customers.

As someone who has a Dev edition I think it's never been easier. I have been on a 4.4.2 build for weeks now. Just fastboot flash and go. I didn't have to wait for flashable zips, with minor research I was able to easily do the work myself. That is the point if the Dev edition isn't it?

Something that isn't entirely clear to me, can you fxz to the 4.4 image AFTER you've taken the 4.4.2 OTA? (GSM DE) I'm curious because I when I go to sell the phone soon I want to return it to stock (sans locked BL).

AGAIN, missing the point, i have the same doubt, i have the ota update of 4.4.2 claro chile, and i have the fastboot version post camera, there is no flashable firmware for that, only for 4.2.2 pre camera, so i want to manually do the flash of the ota....can this be done?
