[Rooted OR Stock] Update Procedure For Lollipop 5.0 (OC1)

[blkmail]

Trying method 3 i get a error when extracting to twrp backup what am i missing? Do I rename or leave .7z?

Gotcha. Yes that tmobile alliance lollipop should work on our N3. As long as you flash ALL other OC1 partitions in Odin afterwards.

Try it out and report back.

Ok, just installed the tmobile alliance (with the meta-inf folder replaced with one that @carl1961 gave me) and it seems to be working. Only issue i've noticed so far is the Wifi calling error in status bar. I'm sure there is a way to turn it off or hide it, but havent had a chance to look.

Lollipop worth loosing Xposed over?

yeah but there's already Xposed for lollilop in work (in alpha stage, but many says it is working perfect, it should be called Beta).

http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/official-xposed-lollipop-t3030118

xposed for lollipop: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811

Known issues:
- It seems to boot loop on Samsung stock ROMs! Update: Samsung has changed quite a few things in their version of ART. It will take more time to adjust Xposed for it.

anyway, I really really hoping @rovo89 figure out and make it work for Samsung ROMs (Android 5.0)

You need to extract files from .7z. Using 7zip or ESExplorer.

Feel free to spread the word around about your success...so that more people can enjoy custom lollipop ROMs

correct NC2 safestrap's HiJack process to attach a recovery in userdata area is getting blocked, but luckly with our bootloader not getting updated we can install NC2 kernel and get to safestrap providing you do not wipe your internal sdcard and loose the hidden linux safestrap recovery stuff

on Lolipop I have nothing of safestrap app installed

system/etc/safestrap folder is empty, when you boot into safestrap recovery , Safestrap looks for the bin files and updates them before booting out recovery

pictures show nothing safestrap on my lollipop except system/etc/safestrap empty folder and nothing safestrap app related on internel sdcard . the bin files ddexe and e2fsck put there by safestrap recovery ( in my case they where already included in NL1 System TWRP backup mad by muniz_ri) and @muniz_ri
can clear up any confusion I may have cause her LOL

Fyi.....there is a guy on the Vz Note 3 forum who has developed a Safestrap replacement called Multisystem. It sounds like it will work on 5.0 but he is waiting for 5.0 to be released for the N900V before releasing multisystem. It sounds promising....

For those who do not know, If your going to test and run a custom rom, Then you only need the @Walter.White OC1 firmware installed and working safestrap recovery, after recovery install the OC1 kernel. there is no point in fighting the Rooted OTA if your going to wipe it out when you install a custom ROM.

Looks like I'm gonna need a very clean reflash. Nothing is working for me. -_-
Anyone could tell me the perfect method for a clean flash, please

Done! per @carl1961 's suggestion I created a thread in General outlining the process. Here is the link.

Method 2 in OP

Is there any way to get the stock phone dial pad to be in full screen?



Edit, I found it in the main settings under controls, one band operation......

Other working ROMs on AT&T: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2938919

Hey just wanted to chime in and say that method 3 worked perfectly for me. Thanks Walter.White and everyone else that's been helping out!

Anyone noticing any other bugs?

 

[Radiotsar]

Used the easier method, it went smooth as silk.

Edit: nice little game for an Easter Egg

Hey Walter, I'm on Alliance now. They have a decent # of mods available. The two big things I used from xposed were clock position and NFC unlocking. Alliance handled the clock mods, while Google had NFC unlock built in. I believe all the settings and smoothness of lollipop make it worth the jump. My 0.02 (more like 5)

Open phone app, then press settings button. WiFi calling option is near the bottom.

Video playback and recording

Anyone noticing any other bugs?

I noticed video playback is stopping halfway through and opening up the video at all on stock app, camera 360 ultimate and google camera forces the fone to reboot :crying:
