I have tried your method, n successful. But unable to install system updates, I got 138 mb of Stability update over Lollipop. I have downloaded but after flashing it, it is the same old Lollipop version. Can you please solved this issue in my cell, It is now not rooted.
Can you also told me, when we download update using system update, where is the that update saved in phone. Since I ave wasted my 140 mb of 3g Data.
