Okay. Sorry for multiple post but it seems like when I get a few answers,people get disinterested and all I hear are crickets...
So I got root through kingroot. All I need now is twrp or cwm etc.... I tried flashify and it said no partition found. I used in app selections to try and flash. It said I could still flash zips. So,I guess what I need is a kernel that has recovery baked in...no problem finding one,just can't find one that's zipped unless one of yall fine peeps could post a direct link. Once I get a kernel installed I'll flash supersu over kingroot. Which is all in a language that looks like my 6 year old took a pen and started scribbling. Thanx guys

If you're looking for a kernel with an in-build recovery, try this one. It has both Clockwork Mod and Team Win Recovery.
Kingroot? Why didn't you just flash a custom kernel? Then you would've had recovery and root now.
My build number is 270. It says those are for 570 and 510

No, you have to download the installer on a computer, then run the installer while your Ultra is connected to the computer, and that's it.

I've got a SGP311 which I've rooted before but have problems with after a while. The rooting is successful and I can do stuff for a while. Then the boot loops start and don't stop until I do a full restore. I've searched for a way to fix this but not come up with anything useful so far. What should I be doing after rooting to stop these boot loops? Which su should I be using?
All help appreciated.

Use Sony Mobile's Update Service to re-install stock firmware.
Use DooMLoRD's XTZ Easy Rooting Toolkit to gain root access.
I use and recommend Chainfire's SuperSU Pro.

You should only have one SU installed at a time otherwise you may get conflicts.

This has been extremely helpful for mods on the S4 Active with a locked bootloader. It is not the same as having a out-of-rom recovery but it is a nice work around as mods start flowing to this device. I have flash MANY mods for the Active and it has been GREAT. The developer is working on ideas for flashing roms but currently this is not for flashing roms, do not even try. This has not been tested yet for the G2 and I would not try it until your carrier has a restore option available (currently Verizon, Tmobile and AT&T have one and they can be found here. All credit goes to the original developer and here is his original thread
Do this at your own risk, by flashing a zip without a nandroid back up this can cause a software brick and you will have to restore
1. Install busy box from the play store (YOU NEED ROOT)
2. Install the apk from the forum
3. download the zip you want to flash
4. Select flash now and reboot
If you have get the error that says the zip is not a flashable zip here are some things that will help:
1. make sure there are NO spaces in the zip name
2. make sure the zip name is short
3. if you still get the error that says this is not a flashable zip reinstall busybox and advance features
4. Flash Gordon does not play nice with AROMA installer so the zip must not have the included
5. Check the download zip, sometimes it can get corrupt while downloading to your phone. Try to transfer the zip from a PC and flashing it. (this has happened once to me)

Your link has been shut down by drop box for too much traffic. Can you use androidfilehost.com?
I tried last night after the link got blocked the first time. I couldn't figure out androidfilehost. I think it's a daily thing with Dropbox so maybe try it tomorrow. Or maybe someone else can figure out how to host them elsewhere.

Yea to be honest I am a little confused on what exactly I need to do to downgrade and then also with safestrap. I currently have an s5 but most likely I'm returning it because my friend gave me an s4. I've been reading up getting ready to root and everything but it seems there are different methods for downgrading so not sure what my best bet is...all I know is I am currently on NC5. From my understanding I have to downgrade..root..then go back to NC5 pre rooted and start with safestrap (however that's done) lol...I came from an s3 with an unlocked bootloader so this is all new to me ..any help would be appreciated
Sent from my SM-G900V using XDA Free mobile app
Just start out and download the downgrade file. If you need Odin I can upload that as well. Then you just put your phone in download mode. And put the downgrade file in the ap slot and click start. It will fail reboot the phone and then use the downgrade system file in the ap slot and it will complete. Then reboot the phone into recovery mode and wipe the cache and do a factory reset data wipe and you should now be on 4.3

I have tried installing TWRP 2.8.7.0 twice now through ODIN and it shows PASS, but when I try booting into recovery it always says something about installing update and I end up in stock recovery. It's my understanding you didn't need root to install custom recovery... am I mistaken?
Anyone? Really need help with this to use Debloater.

Firstly don't create multiple threads to elicit more responses. Maintain the forum etiquettes.
Secondly install xzu dual recovery by nut and then after flashing xzu dual recovery boot into ur desired recovery and flash super su zip
You chose to use Kingroot, which is somewhat controversial tool since it's closed source, and it is, or was, "allegedly" sending info to a server in China, but we don't know. Since it's closed source, we have no idea what it does to your device while it's rooting.
Rooting with an unlocked bootloader is really easy by fastbooting. It takes only a minute, and it's the native way of doing it. You chose to use this more dangerous method instead, even though I and others have mentioned the proper way of doing it several times.
The main reason I wanted root was to gain access to my sd card. I have that now. I could really care less about roms and Yodakernels and ftfsxyz flare files and exploding cpus terminals. Crazy time consuming stuff. Thanx tho. I got what I need

Alright, then all is good I recommend that you update to 5.1.1 when you get it though (or you can manually do it), since the memory leaks have been patched, and the system is much more stable.

Just use the installer if you aren't familiar with fastboot.
From NUT's thread:
1. Make sure you have USB debugging turned ON.
2. Download XZ/ZL/TabZ/Z1/ZU-lockeddualrecovery[VERSION]-BETA.installer.zip from http://nut.xperia-files.com
Windows:
3. Unpack at C: or somewhere you will remember!
4. Navigate to the resulting directory and look for install.bat, double click it to run;
