SBF, S-OFF & root question any help apprechiated - Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Been reading and cant find a definitive answer so any help would be awesome.
I have a Verizon RAZR M 4.4.2 183.46.15, I have S-Off through Sunshine, rooted and TWRP installed. Somewhere through the process I lost all back ups and even stock images. I have tried several ROMS and none will get bast the boot loader screen. What I am wanting to try is an SBF back to 183.46.15 stock and go from there.
If I do this and SBF back to stock will I loose S-Off and have to spend $25. more to regain S-Off or is S-Off permanent? Or should I SBF to an older version? Links to SBF files are also welcome
Thanks in advance for an info.

Everything is working again after flashing a recovery with RSD. However i'e tried several custom roms and all of them never get past the boot loader screen. CM 12.1, Bliss pop and Dirty Unicorn, I'm really not picky just looking for a stable ROM.
RAZR M - Unlocked - Rooted 4.4.2 - 183.46.15 - TWRP v2.8.5.0 installed.

[Q] Help updating to 4.4

I am currently running 4.3 root SPH-L720, when I try to install the OTA update it says it fails but can work and lose root.
I want to know if go with the update it will unroot, and/or wipe phone or brick.
You have to be on a stock recovery even then it might fail if you have custom apps or mods. Best thing is to Odin NAE tar and re root.

If he's on OC4, then he can Odin back to NCG and root from there and flash any VZW S5 TouchWiz ROM that he'd like. Following the OP's instructions of course. I got this S5 on the OC4 version and haven't "officially" updated to newer versions yet. Just update the proper "flashable" firmware as needed for the ROM I'm running
I'm not sure but the new root method that JrKrsue has developed is for one's that are on OE1 and up. Due to those were the one's that were unable to gain root. I could be wrong but if you're on OD5 and below, you can get root by Odin back to NCG. Please feel free to chime in if I'm wrong or mistaken
I have used jrkruse method to root Boc4 also there are two different methods now for rooting as I will never go beyond bod5 on the bootloader so I will always have the choice to go back to 100% kit kat witch includes kit kat bootloader

I flashed jasmine with flash fire . Then i had to flash a partial firmware with odin. After the flash I couldn't enter recovery mode to clear the cash and factory reset it wouldn't boot. So I had to flash the stock Verizon 5.0 rom to get the phone working again

okay its still not booting, im going to flash the factory rom back to the phone with odin for the 4 time lol and i guess ill find a better way to install jasmine, my guess is either i have a corrupt .zip or something weird is going on with flashfire, or the way i rooted this phone is causing conflicts
Well I've been there. At least you can get back to stock now and root it....I helped another guy where he could not get out of custom boot screen

davekaz, can you give me the exact tutorial you used to get jasmine v6.1 installed on the verizon note 3, my note 3 has the OF1 firmware, could you tell me what version of flashfire you used ? its bugging me that i cant get this installed, when some people can
V0.30 I think flashfire..Do you have verizon account? I allowed people to get files from my dropbox but now they limited my account.. have you been on rooted 5 for a bit? Jasmine is no big difference except for xposed

And they are in the midst of unlocking the phone so maybe just enjoy being rooted have you seen the thread for xposed? If you can put that on its the same as jasmine...I gave you all the steps earlier. .the only I could think of...can you screenshot your phone settings after you root and all?

Where is TWERP for g900vvru2dpf4?

Heya, I've been trying to root my Galaxy S5 (Verizon Marshmallow 6.0.1 g900vvru2dpf4) and the instructions I'm following say that I need TWRP (or a similar custom recovery) but, I can't find the link to TWRP for g900vvru2dpf4. If anyone can link me to it or a similar custom recovery for Samsung Galaxy S5 Verizon Marshmallow 6.0.1 that would help a lot.

Not yet. I need help with that here.
I posted answer to both your questions on the linked thread in your post

is that possible to root Zenfone 2 Laser ze550kl(ZOOL) marshmallow latest firmware?

I'm using ZOOL ZE550kl device with ww_21.40.1220.1877_20160902 build. Is there any root exploit that can be done on this phone. I guess unlocking bootloader too is tough on this version. Any ideas?

There are thousands of people on here with rooted unlocked 550kl's. You should probably learn to search before asking. Reading is essential and will save you a lot of time in the long run. To get you started here's 2 links. Both of which are in the same forum as your posted question. Good luck. Many people will help you if you need it within those threads.

You have to download the full zip file and unzip it to get the system file.

The difference is that the files in the mega link are prerooted. When you flash the prerooted system.img then it roots your phone. Once you have a rooted device then you can follow the bootloader unlocker thread and within 10+ minutes you'll be unlocked. After unlocking you can flash TWRP recovery and any ROM for your device.

There is an official ASUS unlocking tool that I know for a fact doesn't work for everyone. It didn't work on mine after trying many times. That's why the unlocking method I'm describing above was created. There was a whole lot of work that went into those methods by a lot of really smart people. I don't think they would've done all that if it was just as easy as flashing TWRP and SuperSU.
