Okay...I flashed/flexed my V400 to the Aston Martin (38R) and then did the 45R reflash. For some stupid reason I went from there and flashed the phone to 58R and now I can't go backward or forward to 45 or 72. Is there any way to do this or am I stuck in the 5X train for good. If I am stuck...is 58R the latest 5X flash (looks like it is) and will any other flash/flexes be available in this train in the future? I have tried to flex (not flash) GI9V600000AA0E9 onto the phone but MultiFlashFlex.exe crashes when I try to flex. Is this also normal after getting into the 58R flash? Thanks in advance for your help.

I believe that 58R is non reversable nor recoverable. (someone correct me if I'm wrong here)
In other words... once you hit 58R, you are stuck.

you could skip to a higher or go lower, but once you install 58R, you can't go up or down.
I "THINK" I read somewhere that you could recover from 58R by accessing the bootloader or installing a new bootloader, but I just spent 2 days searching for that info again and can't find it, so i may be remembering wrong about that.
I know this really isn't any help, but may serve as a warning to others who are wondering about switching to 58R.

I can confirm that you can now upgrade from 55r/58r to 72r. I followed the instructions in the link above, and now my v400 is flashed from 55r to 72r and running perfectly!
