As it says on the OP. On the .15 Kitkat build with a locked bootloader there is no where else to go. You can't root becaluse there isn't a workable exploit that has been proven to work. The main difference between the .10 build which you said failed to flash and the .15 build is security fixes which also patched the exploit that was working. You have a stock rom and that is what you will have to be happy with. If you had been unlocked then there would be no problem.
Actually there is a working root (shockingly) available for .15 called Hydrogen Peroxide. No unlock, of course, but root is now a thing.
