Check out Chainfire's thread. He posted a no-wipe version flashable through Odin. Follow the instructions there and make sure you download the correct version for your phone (GSM/LTE)!

Indeed, it won't touch your data, recovery or bootloader. They're all safe afaik

If you want fresh clean stock then you can do two things:
1) on linux, extract the contents of the tgz package and use the sh script inside to flash.
2) since that's not possible on windows, you could use Chainfire's odin files first and next manually flash the bootloader and/or radioimage with fastboot. You can extract the bootloader and radio yourself from the tgz/tar package or look for them in the development section, someone posted them there.

You can flash it in windows using fastboot, you don't need to use odin for anything:
Extract the factory images
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-maguro-primekk15.img
fastboot flash radio radio-maguro-i9250xxkk6.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot update image-yakju-icl53f.zip

Thanks everyone...will give it a go.....Cheers

Thanks. Just checking, if I would like to do this, but without a wipe, can't i just flash the bootloader and radio like you suggested, and then use Odin to flash Chainfire's no-wipe version right? Just so i fully understand, thanks!

What I posted does not wipe. There's little reason to use Odin. Using Odin you *can* easily brick your device (Ask all of the folks in the Nexus S forums that used Odin to flash the wrong package for their device).
fastboot update image-yakju-icl53f.zip <-- This does not wipe
fastboot -w update image-yakju-icl53f.zip <-- This wipes (-w wipes)

Hey I am also looking for this....on a side note are you looking for this because of wifi issues? has anyone found a fix?...pretty bummed wifi is not working on this thing

I doubt that any stock rom will flash with twrp recovery....in the past with oppo phones (n1, 7a) its always needed stock recovery to flash stock roms...I guess we just play the waiting game until someone can upload the boot image from the updated rom. I'm pretty sure flashing that alone will get wifi back up and running. 07 Or if someone has the stock recovery they could upload....I am unsure if you can just rip it directly out of the rom and flash it....Also on oppo forums they have posted the rom for 5207 I am also unsure if you can flash that to the 5206.

The zip in that thread is images to flash in fastboot?

...
I would think you would have to flash each image individually.... system, boot, recovery ....unless if we start by flashing only the unmodified boot.img to see if it will fix wifi....but i doubt it because i suspect the wrong boot image is what screwed up wifi in the first place...someone please correct me if im wrong

Yes, you're right; the boot image is not compatible with the upgrade; so downgrade to get root. I'm working on trying to upgrade again with the OTA upgrade and then getting the new boot.img and rooting that. More soon I hope!
FYI I tried your images, Lum_UK and found that I couldn't flash boot.img with fastboot, BUT I could dd them from within recovery, so I got myself up and running again.

Yes you'd have to flash all the images by hand one after the other.
edit: Replied before seeing babelmonk's response, please ignore this post.

Thanks for that, though I haven't tried it yet. Can I ask what it changes? Is it worth the upgrade? My original firmware +root seems to work pretty well already so I may well leave it alone until L or CM comes out.

I have no idea what it changes as it's the firmware my International N5706 was shipped with when it was released last week. It may be different to the US model (though I believe the only difference between the two is the baseband) and is definitely different to the N5707 for Chinese users.

Dude, thanks!!! You saved my life!

Twrp won't have the decryption keys or some of the HTC specific functions required to apply the OTA. You'll need a stock /system and a stock recovery.

No it's a stock ota you have to use HTC recovery.

Would this explain the error that I'm getting?
Package expects build fingerprint of htc/tmous/htc_m8:4.4.4/KTU84P/396641.2:user/release-keys or htc/tmous/htc_m8:5.0.1/htc_m8: 5.0.1/LRX22C/464190.4:user/release-keys.; this device has htc/tmous/htc_m8:4.4.3/KTU84L/365360.5/user/release-keys.
I flashed stock recovery, but my phone is still root. Did a full wipe/restore, still getting same thing. The error looks like it's not happy about a missing update perhaps, if I'm reading that correctly. Best I know, I have the latest kitkat version. But, I've had twrp for awhile so maybe I missed an OTA update along the way.

If you're SOFF and supercid just flash the lollipop ruu T-Mobile just release. It doesn't matter what previous rom you're on. Then reflash custom recovery and rooted. I've done this alot of time already.

So the steps would be:
- Flash stock recovery via fastboot
- Flash firmware via fastboot
- Flash twrp via fastboot
- Flash Lollipop via twpr
Is this correct?

For me (I am s-on) I did it in this order:
- flashed twrp stock rom
- rebooted and made sure the rom worked
- flashed stock recovery via fastboot
- rebooted and downloaded and installed OTA.
If you are s-off I believe (someone correct me if I am wrong) you can use the RUU instead.
I did have a wifi issue which was solved by a factory wipe ( yes I had to re-install and setup the phone again).

[Report] FreeXperiaProject Lollipop builds

So, I tested all available buils in FXP blog. Guess what, none of them worked, they all get bootloop.
The method I used was using this commands in same folder of build files:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
I think this is pretty much the end of T3 development
Hope I get a new phone soon

Help I bricked my Moto Z play

I flashed the wrong bootloader so fastboot does not work. I still have TWRP Working but anything I flash does not boot. I am looking for a full factory OTA that I can flash via TWRP so it will re-flash the proper bootloader and all the other factory images so I can un-brick it through fastboot. I have tried to flash many different update files but it gives an error 7 and says to be on 6.0.1 or 7.0 before installing it. Can someone please help me un-brick this or link a full OTA that I can flash via TWRP. I attached the bootloader.img so if anyone could make a flashable zip to flash the stock bootloader that would probably work.

If fastboot works then you're not hard bricked, most likes soft brick. I would suggest flashing magisks 14 after you flash the rom as dm-verity will check if your system is modified , dm-verity needs to be disabled

not exactly because twrp works. If I could flash fastboot images through TWRP I could un-brick it. If somebody could modify the stock rom's updater-script and remove the requirement to be running a stock rom then I could flash that and I would probably be unbricked.

Bootloader can not be flashed through twrp so you'll need to flash the bootloader through fastboot. If your device is not recognized when you plug it in your computer then you're hard bricked, if fastboot is not accessable then you're hard bricked

Do you have the correct driver,, if you use Linux there is no need for the driver just install minimal ADB and fastboot

Have you tried using these albus (Z2 Play) blank flashes as mentioned here to repair your bootloader? https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73402033&postcount=181
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73411048&postcount=206
These may hopefully get your device to the point where it's recognised in fastboot and you can then flash the stock ROM via fastboot.
