Is it worth installing the Stock 4.4.2 ?
and Why as the device is already Flagged
i think its better not to upgrade now, because the current firmwares have some bugs, and if you upgrade to 4.4.2 you cant go back, so wait for a better firmware....i upgraded to 4.4.2 and i regret that...
I agree. I won't recommend the update either. The overall experience will be a little more smoother, but in the expense of lack of custom kernel (i9500 only), and that long email list jerkiness. Jelly Bean is stable enough imo.

Its good idea to upgrade. I've upgraded my i9505 to 4.4.2 and it runs very good without single problem. I recommended. :good:
So I did.... Let's see
Hi There!
I just installed it and bumped with the CSC Conflicts where booting with no modems, wifi etc...... until I found a fix
Now it's running fine nevertheless I rooted it to install the framework etc...
Will keep an eye on the battery and keep you guys posted
Will miss the Pure Android Feel for a few days I guess
Really it is very good to upgrade! Better Ram management. Mine never lagged or frilled.

If you want to flash a firmware via Odin then use the AP slot for the firmware. CP is for the modem.
Hope i understood you right

nope, the bootloader is locked, you can only stay on 4.4.2. I read it somewhere but I forgot it :/

Hey guys, easier way to root on LBL. Try this one here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53448680
I'm having some problems with it- maybe I've done something wrong... I successfully got root (checked it with Root Checker), but now my phone keeps locking up and I have to reset it to wake it up. Right now I am charging it back up so I can repair it (hopefully) with PC Companion.
dave
if I get a root would I be able to flash roms?
At least ROMs which don't need a custom kernel. Flashing a different kernel requires an unlocked bootloader.

Yes, this really works with my japanese variant of Z1 Compact (Z1f SO-02F, see attached image) :good:
No custom kernel, Stock ROM, Full root access, No /system r/o reboot issue :victory:
But it take some more step then proposed, especially the main exploit apk file

Actually yes (on the computer), since it needs to download tr.apk. You can also manually download it from towelroot.com and place it inside files directory.

Hey guys, do u know if autorec is working on 5.0.2 RR Rom ? I want to install TWRP 2.7.0.0 on my D802 but i dont know if it will work or if i get a bootloop or something.. Please help me!
Thanks
Gesendet von meinem LG-D802 mit Tapatalk
Youcan try it but its better to use twrp 2.8.5.0 if it will not work then you can always flash back to stock
But you already have recovery right? So I dont see the reason why to downgrade to 2.7.0.0

Try flashify.. Or do it with another app to flash the recoveryimage as terminal is dangerous to flash it. Btw you need root.

Yes u can use autorec on stock lollipop, i've used it on Glora Rom V1.1, i have D801 Tmobile,
F320k stock 5.0 ROM rooted
has anyone tried Autorec on rooted F320k with stock 5.0.1 ROM.
I am not sure if SDK method works as well. Any Ideas on how to get a recovery?
@bloyde0411
I'm in the same situation as you, I've got the F320L Korean version.
I've heard that bender_007 is working on it, so you have to see the last pages of this thread.
I hope he makes one for f320k. I don't mind donating to support the development. Though I doubt it will be available soon . The Korean version seems very different from the previous ones.

Hi Guys!
You can use this to return to stock and re-lock the bootloader (if you unlocked it the xda way. Not sure with the asus way).
No fancy procedures. Just use the Asus RAW Firmware flasher with the right settings and that's it.
You can then do the official OTA update to get the latest firmware.
Here is the link for the RAW Firmware file:
WW_ZE551ML_2.15.40.13_20150506.raw
Here is the link for the Asus Flash Tool download and tutorial:
3rd Party Site link
Happy flashing!
Hit thanks if this works for you!

I'm not claiming that im the one who got this raw FW. I got this somewhere around the web. I'm just reposting this to get this file to everyone who needs it. It's really difficult to revert to stock with the individual files.
PEACE! :angel:

I will definitely have to try this out when I receive mine in a cpl days.
I was wondering if anyone knows if its possible to manually change the GSM band frequencies to match a U.S. based carrier? I'm going to be using the Elephone S8 and iron Metro PCS carrier. I'd really like to have more than a 2G-3G speed capability on such a nice budget phone.

Hello!
My Elephone S8 arrived today and I like it very much so far. But like on all of my phones & tablets I'd like to have root access to install a firewall, deal with autostarting apps, etc.
Has anyone tried a one-click-root sollution with success? I tried out Kingo root, towel root, kingroot, oneklickroot, root genius, drfone and root master but none of them worked.

I was going to root my phone today with the suggested method and now I'm glad I did not. I think I will wait for a working one-klick-solution without modding the system files.
Yep . I also notice it.
In the OTA.zip is a checkroot file [emoji14]

So, what does that mean? Will the OTA updates never work on a rooted device, no matter how it was rooted?
Hello skeleton1911.
I flashed your boot.img and my Elephone S8 is rooted. Thank you. But as mentioned before, the OTA update detected root and refused to update. So I flashed the boot.img from the stock ROM and bricked the phone. It will not boot up. So I have to flash the root back again to start the phone.
Is there a way to unroot the phone so that it can be updated? Thank you!
