well the title says it, is it possible to flash a rooted lollipop rom w/o already being rooted?
i made the mistake of flashing the KDZ lollipop rom and now i cannot root it cause it is not available and cannot flash rooted lollipop roms since they all seem to require root prior to installation.
so is it possible to flash a rooted rom from windows if the phone is not rooted?
thanks in advance for any help and guide. cheers

flash an kitkat kdz, then flash the rom you want
since im a dummy( ) just to make sure, here are the steps you say i should do:
-flash the KDZ KK rom
-root and custom recovery
-flash the rooted lollipop rom
?

Hello guys, i was wondering since I've made the 5.0 update (european) if it was possible for me to flash a custom rom like cyanogen without root (because root isn't an option since llp) ?

After flashing a ROM, flash SuperSu 2.4 to get root.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Free mobile app
But how do I flash without root ?
It's noobish question, i can't get to recovery, I've tried with the Power and vol down keys, all i can get is a menu to erase my data, thats it.
Firsh backup your data. Then go back to EU stock ROM:
here are the stock ROMs: http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda%2FLG+G3%2FStock%2F

Now you can root your LG G3, use TWRP/CWM custom recovery and flash custom ROM.

TWRP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/orig-development/recovery-twrp-touch-recovery-2-8-2-0-t2966129
Thank you, I hoped there was another way, i will downgrade then, thanks.
maybe there is. Im not pro neither I received OTA for 5.0, but I wanted to have my LG rooted, so I had to downgrade and now I am running AN HD.
Do I need to unlock LGG3 just to have it rooted? My rooting is only for apps that work for rooted phones. I won't be installing a custom rom.

If you don`t want to install a custom rom you cannot run a rooted stock Lollipop rom as it cannot be rooted atm, only KK can be rooted.

For the international D855 for instance you don`t need to unlock the bootloader, just root it with PurpleDrake (i used that and it works well) and (optional install a custom recovery (TWRP 2.8.4.0) to flash the latest superSU.zip or customs roms/kernels) or install the superSU app from Play. What model do you have?

I have the Verizon VS985 kitkat 4.4.2. Titanium Backup Pro is the reason for my rooting. Nothing else.
Hi guys,
I'm not sure exactly where to look for the steps because I'm in a unique situation or atleast I think I am. I need help on installing the LOLLIPOP firmware (N900TUVUFOB6) with a custom recovery and root. I am currently on a rooted note 3 v4.3 with the N900TUVUBMI7 baseband version.do I need to update my bootloader to a newer version? Should I atleast do a stock update to 4.4? Should I be using which custom recovery?
If I'm correct, I can't just flash the latest custom recovery and then flash the newest lollipop (for example the newest TEKHD like this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2672393
Or can I? What If I just did a normal software update to upgrade me to lollipop, will the bootloader be blocked, disabling me from installing a custom recovery since I would want to root as well. And then would I be able to resume the steps from TEKHD instruction?
Thanks!
Hello all developers, I have a noob question, please guide. I have ZenFone 2 running on stock android 5.0 and it is rooted. Now I have to flash custom roms and mods but also want to update stock Rom to android 6.0 whenever ASUS provide updates. So I have a simple idea as below -
1) Install flashify app.
2) Take backup of stock recovery.
3) Flash CWM.
4) Take nandroid backup.
5) Now I can flash custom roms.
6) When ASUS provide updates, flash nandroid backup.
7) Flash stock recovery through Flashify.
8) Full unroot from supersu.
Thus my phone will be fully stock and I can update stock Rom to android 6.0 .
Will this trick work; please tell. I am eagerly waiting for your replies.
[emoji4] Thank you [emoji4]
you have to unlock bootloader if you want to flash custom rom !!!
if you unlock bootloader with official tools. you cant receive any update from asus with OTA. but you can flash full stock rom with twrp via sideload or edit stock rom zip then install with twrp.
somebody can unlock bootloader without official tools (i dont try) and they can update OTA
srr my english

Thank you very much for the information. Btw, can I make changes to stock Rom without unlocking bootloader and revert back to fully stock phone when OTA comes with the above method ?

Hey!
I just recently flashed twrp recovery and flashed some custom roms without making a backup of the stock ROM. Is there a way that I can flash the stock ROM and continue having OTA updates?
Thanks
I will assume that you have removed apps in you current ROM so before you return to stock you need to have a pre-rooted firmware will all the asus apps installed. Here is the link to the guide and follow the Pre-root stock method.

But shouldn't this method work?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/how-to-flash-ota-rom-twrp-t3209545
Do I still need a pre-rooted stock to flash the stock ROM?

I havent tried that method, but I think its the same. You can try it but be sure to follow it corrwctly and I read that it only works specific version of twrp. Read the thread and comment before doing it.

Yeah, that was the problem. I forgot I had to flash lollipop recovery and now it worked fine. I was also able to flash the stock rom with this method with marshmallow twrp but I had to flash the pre-rooted system image first through fastboot. Thanks!
