Do we need to upgrade TWRP to 2.8.3 before flashing lollipop?

Do i need to go back to stock B125 if i want to install B014firmware via dload method ?
Yes and No. It depends.
locked P6 root
if yours locked try to get root with kingoroot program ,you can easliy find it Google search,after root ,install cwm and flash gapps 4.4.2,remember when reboot your phone is fix the root,and you can root again same way
This guide is using the older twrp rather than the newer TWRP built for kitkat.

It doesnt matter what version of TWRP this guide is using, the fact is IT IS SURE WAY TO FLASH B014 ON AN INTERNATIONAL ASCEND P6.
Stick to the guide to avoid bricking your phone.

B014 is Chinese firmware sure ?
Can u do dload Update from Intrenational firmware to the Chinese one without unlock bootloader?

Yes u must be on B125 International and yes u can flash the modified Chinese firmware alongside the files by Team Fly.
I installed Kitkat yesterday with this method i didnt encounter any problems(excepting a bunch of apps closing when u first start your phone but once u start them for the second time they work without any issue).
From what i could tell from reading several pages of posts on the German forum, not even a single phone was bricked.
But i must warn u, the beta version of Kitkat isnt worth it:
1. It lacks immersive mode
2. It still uses Dalvik instead of ART
If u are going to update you are updating purely for Emui 2.3
root.. okay..

First of all you are on B118. You need to be on B125 to flash kitkat.

You can only install twrp over unlocked firmware. So first you have to update to Kitkat beta (which is an unlocked firmware) the normal way through settings> local update,
Will this also work with Ascend Mate?

[Q] SuperSU BETA: Root Android Lollipop on Stock Kernel

SuperSU BETA: Root Android Lollipop on Stock Kernel

Does this apply to G3 owners?
Thanks
The problem is there is no custom recovery that work with the new "LG Lollipop booloader

If a stock Lollipop update was available (maybe in Poland, but I think that is the only place currently), then this might apply to you. It seems that you might be able to root the 5.0 ROM, but you would most definitely lose Bump and the ability to flash a custom recovery or ROM.
Any Lollipop ROM that is being floated around the forums already has a kernel that has been modified and rooted. It does not apply in those cases.
Can anyone confirm that it's working?:good:

Android Lollipop rooting issue with PIE Security Check

Yesterday I updated my ROOTED Lollipop to the latest build 5.1.1 , but after the update I lost the root , so I tried to root it again with iRoot program , but I got this error message :
Error: only position independent executables (PIE) are supported
Then I tried many many of rooting apps but still facing the same problem and getting the same error !!
I looked for this issue, and I found some sort of fixes but I couldn't understand anything, because I'm not an Android expert.
So can you please give me a solution because I need my device to be rooted. And with an easy and simplest way please !
Device : Sony Xperia Z1 COMPACT
Model Number : D5503
Android version : 5.1.1
Kernel version : 3.0.4-perf-g4fd66c3
Device build number : 14.6.A.0.368
In short: Flash back to an earlier version (using Flashtool), root it, install NUT's XZ dual recovery, flash a pre-rooted ZIP of LP 5.1.1 (you find some here on xda), and enjoy your rooted android

Thanks for the reply .. For curiosity, can you please explain to me what means this error and why it exist , as I read it was since 4.1.1 , and personally I didn't face it when I updated android to 5.0.2.
Mainly it attempts to unlocked bootloaders. but there is a workaround for the error, so if you had still installed a running recovery the whole backflash was useless
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/development/fix-bypassing-pie-security-check-t2797731
Originally it was written for nexus and motorola devices, but it fixed my Z1C too, so i guess its not devicebound
I want to ask a thing:
I'm on latest 5.1.1 and want to root.
I think that flashing kernel only of previous (5.0.2) root and then flash a recovery can help me.
It's true? Because if I can root in that way:
I have the full ftf file of 5.0.2 version...how can I flash kernel only of 5.0.2 from flashtool?
Someone can tell me which options I have to check and which don't on flashtool to flash only kernel?
Or can post me a link to a kernel only ftf of 5.0.2 for italian firmware or CE1 ?

Coming from Xperia Z Ultra, New to G3 :)

Hello Guys
I am been using Xperia Z Ultra LTE for past 2 years. I recently purchased Tmobile G3 D851 which I noticed is the best value in its class. I LOVE the screen!
I downgraded from 5.0.2 > 4.4.2 so I could root & install TRWP.
My question: which FW should I be looking at if i want 5.1.1. and have stock LG software (knock, tapwake,LG health) and no other junk installed?
and I assume I can easily flash the 5.1.1 zip by using TRWP?
Appreciate your advice
Yes, you can flash any 5.1.1 based ROM using TWRP. You didn't have to downgrade to 4.4.2 to root and install TWRP. Since you were running LP, you could have followed the second method in this thread to root...

[Q] Please confirm my thought process Root/Upgrade

Hi,
I want to root and install CM13 on my H815 10c International G4.
For rooting i`ll use this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/orig-development/root-tmo-vzw-intl-variants-soon-root-lg-t3164765
After root, CM sites states: For CyanogenMod 13.0 it's required that your device is running stock Android 6.0 (H815_V20A or higher).
So i need to first flash a 6.0 ROM, but which? I found this: H81520B_00 zip 1.4GB.. but i`m not sure that this will install cleanly once rooted.
Basically how to i get to 6.0 so i can install CM13?
Thanks

You can upgrade to 6.0 but if you want to flash CM after that,you have to unlock your bootloader first,then root,then flash Twrp...
The only G4 variant that can be bootloader unlocked is H815 Eu version.
