he can go straight to AB5...at least I did last night. Just be sure he wipes the user data first. I forgot the first time and everything was jacked up. Works great nowWhen I rooted my phone I was on EE4 and flashed the original AB to gain root, then flashed Alpha 5 when it came out. My buddy wants to root his, does he need to flash the original version 4 then 5 or can we just flash version Alpha 5? TIA!
