Going to lollipop

[OMG_VTEC]

So I'm in nc2 and wanna jump up to a new rom. Thinking alliance, biggins or Arya mod. What all are you guys running and how'd you do it? I can seem. To find the thread on how to do it. Did you use safestrap or flashfire? If you used flashfire, how do you use that? I must have the stupid on the search here lately...

You got it easy.

Root with towelroot, Install SuperSU, Install Busybox, Install Safestrap 3.75. Done.

Reboot to safestrap and flash what you need. Don't worry about flashfire, you probably won't ever need to use it. Or at least out of my experience I've not had to use it. (For the note 3 that is)

I'm much more versed in rooting and roms than you assume. I'm on dk7.1 and have odind many times. Just curious as to the actual process of switching to lp. And what would need done to go back to kk if necessary

Before you flash, just back up your kk rom. And then when you flash the rom, make sure to flash the kk kernel so safestrap is still accessible

It doesn't matter what ROM you are currently on you can always odin back to NC2 and then upgrade to NL1 or OC1/2.

Examples:

If you're on OC1/2 and want to go back to NL1, you would full odin back to NC2, re-root and such. Then flash a NL1 based ROM.

If you're on NL1 without root and want OC1/2, full odin back to NC2, re-root, etc. Then flash a OC1/2 based ROM.

I've never even head of nl1. And Don you need to flash the kernel and radio or is just the kernel necessary?

It depends on the ROM you plan on going to.

AllianceROM v12 doesn't require a kernel flash
UrDroid Stock Deodexed requires an OC1 flash (optional OC2 patch available)

OC1 is 5.0
OC2 is a security patch for OC1
NL1 is 4.4.4
NJ2 is 4.2.2

Are you sure about alliance? I tried to flash that and got stuck on the Galaxy Note 3 screen

I've ran Alliance v12 more than a few times on both my phone and my girlfriends phone, I've not once had to flash a kernel if you get stuck reboot into the stock recovery and look at the top, if it says OC1 then your on the right kernel. But flashing it definitely won't hurt anything.

This is taken out of the changelog for AllianceROM v12

ROM will automatically flash OC1 Kernel so after install, just hit reboot.

Also make sure you're on version 3.75 for Safestrap.
