Ok this is odd.I followed the downgrade guide found on this forum and everything worked perfectly,no hiccups at all.
Towelroot worked fine,various root checkers say that I am good.Installed Supersu but for some reason Busybox crashes when i try and install.I have tried installing it on both the NCG and NK2 kernels.
Also tried removing busybox/rebooting/re-installing.
Any ideas?
Obviously I want to finish this long process and get Safestrap installed.
Thanks
Ok update-still can't install Busybox nor can I install Safestrap.Well Safestrap says that it installs but you can't boot to it.I can't run Towelroot again because now I am on NK2 kernel.Would really appreciate any suggestions.

Backstory: I've had an issue upgrading to 4.4 on stock rom from 4.3 because I rooted the phone (or maybe it was because I unlocked the bootloader? I forget) Fast forward a few months to today: I'm trying to do a clean install of 4.3 (was planning on upgrading to 4.4.2 via an OTA update later on).
I successfully installed 4.3. I then went onto trying to install SlimROM but that failed. I don't remember exactly what I did after but eventually I tried installing 4.3 again from the image files I downloaded from here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#occam
This is what I've done:

}
And now I'm stuck here indefinitely: http://i.imgur.com/ud1ohAr.jpg
What should I do next? This is actually my main phone so a quick reply would be very much appreciated
Ok so I've solved this issue but flashing 4.4 onto my phone via a toolkit.
For future reference this is the toolkit I used: http://downloadandroidfiles.org/download-nexus4-stock-unroot-kitkat-4-4-zip/
I followed the instruction of "HOW TO MAKE A PERFECT UNROOTED" topic but still shows rooted in download mode.
What can i do more to change to unrooted?
Thanks.
EDIT: it was rooted with towelroot

it will keep showing ROOTED as long as you are flashing kitkat rom ...........try to flash a jellybean rom it worked for me and showed UNROOTED but if u reflashed a kikat rom again it will show ROOTED again ......hope i helped
Flash your country's kdz based on jelly bean. Than upgrade your phone to kitkat via ota. You will see that the label changed to unrooted
So running the Yoga 2 10inch tablet, with the new lollipop rom that was just released. I cant seem to get into the recovery to flash the SuperSU zip by using the recovery tool here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/intel-android-devices-root-temp-cwm-t2975096
Im using the latest version of it, and tried the T4 option yes but no luck.
Heres what comes up on the tabets screen when I run the tool on my PC and it reboots:

}
This comes up on the tools command line when its running also:
Odd thing is, I rooted this very tablet earlier today when it was on kitkat before removing it on this PC. Ive tried two other computers and same result. Any help greatly appreciated.
I have the same problem like you
I used "IntelAndroid-FBRL-05-16-2015-PTR.7z" and "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip" and it worked with Lollipop 5.0.1.
Here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1j7Qr4n1Z15NmlxbUlUbXJFSlk
Edit: you use the same FBRL version or the latest version? Your screenshot says 05-16-2015-PTR...

http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/help/galaxy-s5-straight-talk-variant-sm-s902l-t3162340

I just purchase a Verizon Galaxy S7 Edge 32GB
this is my build # mmb29m.g935vvru4apI3
I followed the rooting instructions and got root.
Well I realized the hotspot didn't work :/ so I tried installing the Stang ROM
that didn't install, and I downloaded the PI3 stock rom image and tried to install that via oden
but it fails. I've included some screenshots below.
Will Stang work with PI3?
If not how can I restore back to stock?
Thank you for your help

I'm currently using stangs rom on pl3. When it fails that's normal it will fail the first time you just have to load the files together (don't click start yet) in Odin, restart your phone in bootloader mode until it says device added and then start.
