On NK2 now and IMPOSSIBLE to root!! Please HELP

[FingerBlastJ]

Im sending my phone ot for service because of the camera failed error.

i was originally rooted on 4.4.4 NI2.

Unrooted, uninstalled safestrap and busybox and did a factory reset.

Now i have the flash counter lockpad on boot screen so i need to reroot to remove it.

Tried flashing NCG stock but when i flash it in odin, the screen stays black and never boots up.

Im forced to flash either NI2 or NK2 which both work, just getting back to NCG to reroot doesnt work

Any ideas?

You can't flash back to NCG from NI2. The best bet is to reroot by flashing the NCG kernel only on clean NI2 and running towelroot. Then reflash the NI2 kernel back. Do your cleanup and then unroot again.

x2. You can't do a full flash back, but if you flash the kernel you should still be able to. Follow @Misterxtc's step by step guide here...

Negative

Flash from Factory Reset.... you should just have to flash NCG kernel, root, re-flash NK2 kernel....
