any successors?
for now,you can only flash over rooted 4.4.4
what i am asking is a more direct and preferably one step method...

Now I'm on rooted 4.4.4 and wait for update to last firmware because I need root (Titanium Backup and so on)
So, I ask same of OP: please notify here when a root (tested) method work on 14.5 fw :fingers-crossed:

This means that I could flash via flashtool .242 firmware without loosing root?
And do u guys think that if I flash 4.4 kernel only (rooted) , and later I re-flash lollipop kernel will it works?

Thanks for everything guys. Always #1 cheers :good:
Am I too late for this method? I already updated to 5.02 and i lost root. Can I flash back to 4.4. and install dual recovery , or is this method only useable on 4.4?

Hi i followed all the steps as mentioned.... but after flashing restarting it is not going past Sony logo, not even the boot animation.
Please help
Hey there Just decided to share my experience. I have a D5503 and I flashed the 14.5.A.0.242 firmware. After this I decided to try to root the device,but since I had no TWRP or Clockwork it seems impossible to root. I lost my bootloader unlock too and no tool or method seems to be able to unlock it. I tried the official sony method,tried from flashtool and other similar programs but nothing seems to work (from cmd it comes up with and error message, some kind like "failed,cannot complete command or smth"). And yes,I've checked and my phone's bootloader CAN be unlocked. Any ideas what must be causing that or I just have to wait for a proper tool/method for root/BL unlocker ?
Received my new Virgin Mobile HTC 816 phone yesterday afternoon and I did the following:
1 - Unlocked the bootloader
2 - Installed CWM Recovery
3 - Did an Nandroid backup of my stock rom
4 - Flashed CM-12 for the HTC 816 and rebooted
It failed to boot into CM-12 so I restored my nandroid backup of the stock rom and it booted into a white screen and stays there. None of the buttons work and I had to wait for the battery to go dead before trying to boot back into CWM Recovery. It will not boot into fastboot, only the CWM Recovery, from within CWM Recovery I can choose Fastboot from advanced but this just boots me back into Recovery, ugghhhhhhhhhh.
I think I am screwed because if I can not get back into fastboot I can not restore the stock bootloader/recovery/rom and unbrick my beautiful new $149 phone.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance.

I did not enable debugging before i started and do not know if it's an 816g, though it just says 816 on the box. Guess I need a flashable stock virgin mobile rom, but can only find the ruu.exe...
You can extract the rom. Zip from that ruu exe but without a locked bootloader I don't believe it will flash. USB debugging isn't required but locked bootloader is I believe for flashing stock rom . There are 2 or 3 CM based roms available that I found here at XDA that work for the Virgin Mobile U. S. single Sim variant. Model name is a5_chl. I have this same phone and am using unofficial CM12.1 I found near the end of forum for official CM12 by Grarak developer. Also there is Resurrection Remix 12CM based that I have flashed and works as well. Drummer1839's advice is good advice. Flash CM12 again or one of the others I've mentioned. First though I would flash TWRP 2.8.7.0 official instead of CWM for recovery . Heard it works better on our variant. It's what I use and never had a problem. Will find the links for you if you can't find them here yourself just don't have them at the moment.

That Resurrection Remix is an unofficial rom ported to our phone just like the 12.1 CM I mentioned. Their both found here in XDA just don't try to flash any official Resurrection Remix cause they don't support our phone. Only official one is the stock CM12 nightly build for the a5.

Here is the link to the unofficial 12.1 CM thread on XDA. link is a ways down the page above the git hub link.

You'll also need to flash gapps zip for 12.1CM or 12CM depending on which one you decide on and the APN fix for Virgin Mobile that your can also find linked here in XDA all in that order of flashing. Rom zip first, gapps zip second, APN zip third and your all set.
Recently unlocked my bootloader and flashed twrp... Now i have a question does flashing the entire stock rom re-locks the bootloader...if yes, do we also get the OTA updates? i read somewhere on the internet that flashing the entire stock rom re-locks the bootloader & we can get OTA's... If we can do this why is Asus blacklisting our serial numbers while unlocking the bootloader? And when we want to unlock our bootloader again do we have to go through the same procedure that we used previously...
Nope

No way to safely relock bootloader. Some say flashing a RAw romimage will relock but this seems tobe hit and miss.
If you unlocked your bootloader using the unofficial tool then ASUS doesn't have your IMEI but if you did use official tool your up that creek with no paddle and a hole in the boat... If you unlock the bootloader you can put unnoficial roms onto your phone that can potentially damage hardware. If you then relocked the bootloader and reflashed the stock rom you would get it repaired under warranty and ASUS don't want that. Blacklist your IMEI means as soon as your phone gets to a repair center you pay $$$ to fix...
Is there method to have OTA updates after unlocking bootloader and flashing twrp recovery ? I unblocked booloader with unofficial method and flashed twrp. After playing couple days with cm13 went back to my backed up with twrp stock rom. What to do to have OTA back ?

Flash stock rom + boot.img +droidboot.img + recovery.img for that rom...
If you go to the pre-rooted rom thread you can get all these things and use fastboot to flash.
Just remember though, if you have busybox or xposed or anything that alters the system directory that flashing OTA will fail. Founfd he easiest thing was to re-flash the latest pre-rooted rom (with all img files having been flashed prior) works everytime...
Hello guys,
I send in my 5x after it had some troubles and resetet it. it still had twrp recovery but no xposed framework. I gave the 5x to my father after it came back and he startet the android 7.1.1 update ( from Android 6).
After the update the phone stopped working and gave the error no command. I can go to recovery( now stock) but i dont have usb debugging enabled on the phone and have no drivers on my pc. how can i fix it?
thanks in advance

OK, but in the guides it says that usb debugging must be enabled to perform that and i havent enabled it.
OK, it worked without usb debugging using the flash all skript in the OTA. thank you Domin_PL
i have ace 2 i8160 and i want install custom rom UltimateROM (Chrono), LineageOS 13 (SergeyL)

Odin perhaps? You could flash recovery using fastboot on HTC devices, but Samsungs lack this AFAIK
