Did anyone else flashed recovery successfully with this method? I flashed the KK ROM and recovery 4-5 times and can't seem to enter recovery. Probably it didn't flash right. Is there any other way to root it except with flash of su update?
i also having experience this before. flashed maybe 10 times and no custom recovery. this rom cant get root without custom recovery (i tried all!) but when i about to give up, flashed it for the last time and im about to back to stock it miraculously installed twrp recovery. dont know what happen there. use sp flash tool version 3 and 5. i think installed this using version 5

What is the thing with Mobile Upgrade S? I can hardly get 50KB/s at most.
the first upgrade will take a while. mine is about 14 hours :D

It always says that i have the latest version! D:
it worked for me on semi-bricked alcatel. i think you have to semi-brick your device and mobile upgrade will install the latest firmware on your phone

Thanks, however I flashed KK so no need for that anymore.
thats good. but its a good thing to have the files downloaded so anytime you semi-brick your phone you can just use mobile upgrade. after my 2nd upgrade (2nd semi-brick) it only takes 10-15 minutes :)
