Hey guys!
So, I've been thinking of doing the new update.
If I flash the stock recovery img and do a factory reset, then do the update, flash TWRP and then re-root, will that work?
If so, where can I find the recovery img? Sprint system dump?
EDIT: Flashed recovery.img and system.img from stock firmware, flashed update.zip through stock recovery, then flashed back TWRP, rooted and good to go! :good::laugh:
I also have an unlocked bootloader fyi.

do you happen to still have a copy of the sprint img or firmware? If so, can you please update.

Is there a guide anywhere on how to install 4.4.2 on the Dev Ed phones?
Assume I can just use TWRP for root after updating?
Thanks!

Are you rooted now? If you are rooted, as long as you haven't changed any of the system files you can install the .zip through the stock recovery and you're good to go (you don't lose root).
If you aren't rooted, just install the .zip through the stock recovery and then flash TWRP recovery and root.
Assuming you have an unlocked bootloader, flashed TWRP and rooted (but no other changes, no VZWentitlement hacks, delete/removing/renaming any apps from /system/app or /system/priv-app, no Xposed Installer and modules installed, etc...).
Download the 4.4.2 update .zip to your phone.
Flash the stock recovery back to your phone.
Boot to recovery and install the .zip you downloaded.
Done.
You'll need to find the .zip and download it.
You'll need to know how to flash the stock recovery back and have it downloaded so you can flash it
You'll need to know how to use the stock recovery (button combos to boot to recovery and enter recovery)

Thank you!
Ah, I had forgotten about having to use the stock recovery to flash. When I last updated, I dirty flashed a TWRP-able image. Might wait for someone to make one for maximum laziness
Edit the updater-script and remove the device check for ghost in the OTA zip that's posted. Then you can flash it in CWM or TWRP as long as /system is stock.

Hi all,
I am a HTC guy and I'm not that familiair with the Asus way of flashing things.
So just to make sure I'm not doing something wrong here.
I want to go back to full stock including recovery and stuf. I have a WW version of the TF701.
What I found online is this:
- Flash http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=3210 in recovery.
- flash latest WW update from Asus site.
Is this the correct and safe way?
Thanks
Frnas
Yep. That should work. Flash stock recovery, then flash stock rom.
Stock recovery? Is that included in the file from Droid basement?

Nope. But the flashable stock recovery is on the same page you posted.
CWM won't flash the stock firmware - I thought. But Droidbasement says otherwise... Try it and let us know!
AH, glad I asked it.. So I must:
- flash the recovery from droidbasement in CWM
- flash the ROM from droidbasement in the flashed recovery
- flash the latest ROM from the asus site
That's the right order?
I haven't looked at your link but I don't think you can flash the stock recovery from cwm. You will need to fastboot flash the recovery from your computer.

The instructions at Droidbasement state that the 4.3 OTA is flashable from CWM. But you have to be on the latest version 6.0.5.1.
Maybe they fixed it. With earlier versions it was not possible to flash Asus firmware in CWM, but these guys know a lot more than I do, so I would trust them.
You do have to be on the 10.26.1.18 bootloader though!
The site states it's a full system/kernel flash so it probably won't replace CWM with stock recovery - don't know.
Check once you flashed the OTA.
And don't forget to wipe /data in CWM before you flash anything.
I got a NExus 7 wifi 2012 that was running 5.0. It was rooted, and used TWRP.
I got info about the updated and pressed install. Booted in to TWRP and nothing happened. I then pressed install in TWRP and in cache found the .zip and tried to install. Got an error.
I then booted in to android again, and flashed the stock recovery 5.0.2 (I guess it's like the stock 5.0?) and later I tried the OTA install again. Got an error.
I then read about the new "feature" in 5.0 about not allowing OTA if rooted, and I then in SuperSU completely uninstall the root and rebooted.
Later when I got the OTA update again, I thought it should work, but I still got the error.
What can I do? Right now I'm on a MAC. Can I in some way flash only the good stuff from the factory image, and in some way NOT have to factory reset the Nexus 7?

Even when you unroot, your file system is tampered. Only way to update is using factory images.
I think you can flash the factory image without user data to prevent factory reset.

How is it I do that then? What files from the factory images (unpacked) is it that I need to flash? Is it fastboot or ADB I use to flash?

I have done this with my rooted N5 and N7. You need to re-flash system.
Unpack the 5.0 factory image and
fastboot flash system system.img

I managed to do this now to. My biggest problem is now to root the device again. I've switched back to stock recovery, before I removes root, when I was trying to apply the ota.
Now when I try to flash twrp recovery, I get an error about the size. I can flash the stock recovery though, the same way I flashed system.img and boot.img.
What can be wrong? I do I get root now again?

Are you saying you can't flash the TWRP recovery now? So are you now completely stock 5.0.2?

Yes, system, boot, recovery flashed with fastboot.
When in fastboot mode, I get error, something with size, when flashing twrp. I found a CWM recovery I could flash, but it didn't boot to recovery correctly.
The twrp file is not corrupt. Tried it again and also a different version.

OMG. I'm so f-ing stupid. Blaming all the x-mas food.
Was trying to flash the Oneplus One recovery. Not the one for Nexus 7.
Hope it works better now...

I've recently flashed my OP3T with stock ROM 4.1.3, & do the clean flash with TWRP. After finished, when I went back to the recovery mode, TWRP is lost, and the recovery goes back to stock recovery. Every time I start up/reboot my phone, I always get the DM-Verify warning.
Anyone can point me why after flashed the 4.1.3, my recovery goes back to stock recovery?
Also, which method should I use to change the stock recovery to TWRP & bypass the DM-Verify warning?
Thanks in advance
As for the TWRP, after flashing with TWRP you have to boot into Recovery and root (SuperSu/Magisk).
Only then TWRW sticks.
As for the DM-Verify, there is a thread here how to do.
Honestly, the DM-Verify doesn't bother me, so I don't bother to remove it
Cheers

Thanks for the answer, . Actually when I flashed with 4.1.3, it came from the Experience ROM, ver. 17. After flashed with the stock 4.1.3, when I went back to the recovery, the TWRP is gone, replaced by the stock recovery. I thought that when we flash via custom recovery such as TWRP, it will bypass to flash recovery, CMIIW.
When you flash stock ROM, the image will contain the stock recovery, so you will need to reflash twrp from fast boot

Booting up default ROM, it will make sure recovery is original and if not it will restore it just like it did for you. TWRP rooting will remove the original recovery making it impossible to break TWRP for you.

You don't have to. Just flash magisk or SuperSU right after the ROM, you will get both root and twrp
Does someone have the stock recovery for Mi8SE? I need to revert to it to be able to update OTA. Thanks

Extract the zip and flash the recovery either through TWRP or fastboot. Although I would rather do a factory reset and flash the whole firmware.
