Can I flash a Rom from android L?

So I'm thinking of testing out andorid l, ut after that I am going to flash a cusotm Rom. (on kitkat) so I know I can root android L, but can I install a recovery and flash the Rom form there? Or should I flash back to KitKat then root and install recovery then flash the Rom?
Thanks in advance

I've flashed "L" about 5 times since the factory image was available (I'm indecisive like that) and before I go back to a custom ROM I always flash the factory 4.4.4 just to be safe. I haven't run into any problems doing that, and it may be overkill ; but I can confirm that the method won't break anything.

haha true dat ;D Thanks anyways...will be working on it in a couple of mins

you can flash L, then any other ROM you want after, from 444. I don't know about philz, but using twrp, you can wipe you system, which makes your phone romless until you flash another ROM. so you can flash 444, then flash L, then flash 441(if you wanted to).
I flash L via recovery, not via system image. it makes it much easier going back and forth

a zipped up google version, by @vomer. its not small, like 400+mb, and takes 7-10 minutes to flash. I don't own a computer, so I go the other route(unless it can be flashed via terminal emulator) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53700335&postcount=1

people can use the cwm recovery for the G360H to create an for G360F, the product are similar only 4G not present on the 360H. caution because i see the recovery arent on /dev/block/mmcblk0p21 but on /dev/block/mmcblk0p17.
ps: i try to flash recovery from G360H and cant go to recovery.

Anyone has CWM or TWRP compiled for SM-G360H?

9999 hours in linux
Not sure if it works, I don't have the phone ( I will in 1 week or so, but not sure if the LTE or non-LTE)
anyways this is for G360F
and I compiled it with -eng, so maybe there is more debug output..
Also I don't know the GPIO key values so I don't think you will be able to move through the menu.. I only want to know if its bootable.
zip is not flashable
Edited, not bootable
Look at the latest post, new image!!

Is the recovery tested?

I think I know what's the issue now. Just one more test,
attached are two recoveries, both are TWRP, one is using the stock kernel that the default recovery uses and the other is my compiled kernel.
Try both and please tell me if it works or not.
Try using adb if the phone doesn't restart or the touch screen doesn't work in TWRP
Also everyone can try it, go ahead.
And another thing, I used the kernel from the recovery.img of the OP.
Edit: Look at my second post for the recoveries..

The thing that bothers me is that the error is very generic and doesn't explain anything, it has to be something related to knox. You downloaded the one in this post, right?

yes i downloaded the right one, i think the knox is integrated in the recovery or in the boot.img. this is the grand prime twrp recovery forum it has the same spec only the display is different 5 inch compared to 4.5 on core prime. http://forum.xda-developers.com/grand-prime/development/share-twrp-2-8-4-0-galaxy-prime-t3064506

Yes fastboot flash recovery recovery.img.
But TWRP can flash recovery.img itself. Switch to IMG instead of ZIP in the Install menu.

[ROM]Nexus 5X Stock ROM [6.0.0-MDB08I]

So hi people. I have (or will soon have) a Nexus 6P. But I had a little free time and noticed TWRP was available for this device. So I decided to make a flashable version of the Nexus 5X's latest official factory image.
Downloads:
6.0.0 - MDB08I: LINK
Instructions:
Bro, it's a Nexus device. Nobody needs any instructions...Just flash to your hearts desire.
NOTE:
I do not own the device so I haven't tested it. BUT I am 80% sure it should work. Can some one confirm.
THIS ROM IS AN UNMODIFIED VERSION OF THE STOCK SYSTEM.IMG!!!​

I'm doing so right now. So far it is stuck on the Google emblem. I was already on this build and rooted. I am unfamiliar with anything but Samsung devices so please bear with me. TWRP asked if I wanted to root again before I rebooted and I said yes.
Edit: Been ten minutes and still stuck on Google emblem. Going to go back to stock and reroot.

Select no, reboot to recovery and flash supersu.

You don't need anything fancy to flash system.img, just boot to bootloader, and do a:
fastboot flash system system.img
I've done it several times to recover from bootloops after experimenting with /system.

Should I try it again? Is there anyone that can deodex this zip?
Edit: tried again. Same result. Stuck at Google emblem.

deodex, rooted, then exposed and GB^^ can we fast forward a few weeks so I can stop with all this waiting.

I can confirm that flashing this on my 5X results in a failure to boot. I've tried everything from flashing SuperSU to a full system format. I eventually resorted to using fastboot to flash system.img which resolved the issue.

What da heck man? Where's our N5x development? @sykopompos and our Frank N5x ?

Sorry for the nub question, but I'm stuck at the Google screen and I don't see a system.img anywhere in my SDK folder. Is this a separate file that needs to be downloaded? Where can I find this to flash in fastboot?

I was in no doubt that it would not work fully. My question was simply if the boot loader would brick it or if the rom itself was incompatible with the hardware difference. Relax.

Do you think you can make the instalation more 'friendly' and get root to work?
If so i guess i will wait But when root work i will risk to install bootloader with adb....
Thanks....

did all the adb steps successfully now booting.....how long does it take the first time? it vibrated xD btw: is there a difference between your "flashable"-file and the one slawek199261 posted on the other thread? because i flashed his one because i downloaded it already xD

Are you suppose to do all the "adb flashes" on TWRP Recovery or while the phone is on Android... OP didn't specify to reboot the phone to TWRP after copying the files to /data/local/tmp
