is there a way to flash it without putting my phone back to stock and relocking bootloader?
U have to flash the matching Stock Recovery (dont know where to find here atm) for your Device, then the OTA should work (i think you´re on stock ROM since u got the OTA?)

If you are trying to flash the ota zip then it won't work unless you have the stock recovery on your phone, any custom recoveries will prevent ota updates been applied.

So, i just need Hasoon's tool to flash the stock recovery is good to go?
Thank you
Yes, hasoons ToolKit should work, u have to download the correct Stock Recovery and copy it to the correct folder for the ToolKit, than let the ToolKit flash it.
Easier way would be to download it, copy it to your ADB-Folder (e.g. C:\Android\) and flash it via cmd as described in the tutorials out here.

Wait for 10 mins and nothing happen.
what can i do?
Thank you
I have a similar question: I have a Rogers HTC One, but I'm currently running the Telus ROM. I cannot install the update. Can I install Telus stock recovery and update, or do I have to go back to Rogers stock ROM and Stock recovery? If that's the case, where can I find them. They seem to be unavailable.
Thank you
im wanting to flash the Eclipse 1.0 ROM that is out but im currently still on the initial version that was on the phone at release. i have heard that taking the OTA when rooted can cause boot loops and that i need to OTA fist before flashing Eclipse. what are the steps i need to take in order to safky take the OTA?
also, are titanium backups working so i can load all my apps and data once i get onto eclipse? i thought i saw something about them not working a while back and have not been keeping up with if this has been sorted out?

download and install the newest SS that was just released. then go to your stock slot. uninstall SS from the SS app. Then flash stock recovery and system (assuming you didn't flash your baseband as well, if you did then flash the old baseband back on there). then either install pwnmymoto without running, take ota, then check to confirm you have root. OR take ota then root with rockmymoto. then follow instructions to instlal SS on rootzwiki. then follow instructions for the rom.
TIBU works. (not sure for the eclipse rom, just post over there on that thread that question, i haven't run it yet so idk but i would presume that it will since it is based off of the original FW for the phone and not source.) I typically install the apps i had myself from the play store then just reinstall data with TiBu. This is ebcause I have ran into problems installing apps from tibu personally but it was most likely my own error. I never have a problem otherwise, so i just install my own apps. Sometimes google or something does it for me as well so i only instlal a few root apps taht i already saved the apks for so i just move the folder to my phone and install them. Once done with all of that i go and put my data back in with tibu.

its extremely simple in reality. download that fastboot file from that link. put it in a a folder on your c drive (for instance "fastboot") download the FW for your hone. unzip. put the system and recovery img in the fastboot file you created. then open cmd. type "cd c:/fastboot" THEn plug phone into computer, the reboot phone into fastboot mode with power button and volume down button held for like 3 secs. then run commands in fastboot, fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flasht system system.img
fastboot reboot
and your done.
or go use rsd light and remove all of the code from the fastboot commands except for the flash system and flash recovery (the code in the xml file).

np. i had to go refresh on my fastboot stuff when i first got the phone because i hadn't touched phone stuff for over a year.
So I feel like I am really screwed on this.... attempted flashing stock via RSDLite. It began flashing fine until about halfway through the system.img ...all of a sudden it loses fastboot and my computer freaks out saying that an unkown standard usb device is attached. I figured that I would just flash a batch through recovery, but now there is not recovery image either.
So... I have no fastboot mode and no recovery mode and an unrecognizable usb device. Please help me
Edit: I have a feeling its due to a driver issue... during the downgrade the required driver probably changed... and thus disconnected in the middle of flash. If this is the case, then I feel like an idiot

Try setting up another computer. You should be able to go into bootlader mode by pressing power and volume down buttons at the same time. Hopefully you have enought battery. If that doesnt work someone should be able to help you out.

Wow I hope that my edit was right instead... I know for a fact that it failed during the system image portion of the flash. all I did was follow the instructions posted somewhere on this forum which basically just said... download 21.12 firmware, go to fastboot, flash with rsdlite. Guess the fact that they left out remove bootloader image is no big deal.. NOT

It's nothing they did wrong. At the time of writing it, that was probably the latest version. Can you still flash things via rsdlite? If so, take a look at this copy of the latest update.

Okay so good news... I installed the older sdk drivers and my phone will now connect to fastboot mode again. wooo!!! Now, to make sure I do this right, @r3pwn , the link you just sent me was a superuser image, right? Background story as to why I am doing this, I have root and I ended up breaking google play services pretty bad and reinstalling would not fix the problem and neither would cache clear or system.img flash. So I was just gonna try to start fresh. So, I attempted to flash 21.12 firmware and thats how I ended up here. What should I do next? Flash that SU firmware or flash the 21.12 firmware? Should I remove the bootloader and boot images from those .xml files? Thanks for your time, I should be good after that information

That's not the root firmware, that's just plain stock. I would recommend you flash that image (the one I linked) then re-root.

Hey.
My N6 got an error after I tried to update. I saw somewhere that installing the update on a rooted device (stock everything, just root) would be successful but it would remove root. Tried and got the error message with the android guy and a warning sign or something like that just with the "error" text, no more. I unrooted and rebooted, after some time the update prompted again and tried, same result.
I did some searches and just a few people have commented this issue, no answers yet.
Any ideas?

Has to be completely stock. No root, custom kernel or recovery. How did you unroot. Have to flash factory image to remove root. Can't just remove the app. Forget OTAs if you are gonna root. Have to reflash factory image anyway so might as well just flash the updated image.

Your system is still modified. Even if remove the files the partition has been modified. If you have custom recovery or kernel it also won't flash. Have to flash back to stock so might as well just fastboot the updated factory image.

None of the unroot options put things back to 100% stock. They just remove root. The only way to remove all traces is to fastboot flash the system.img
If you're going to run rooted, forget about OTA and learn about fastboot.

Dang. I don't like to mess with flashing and custom recoveries but I guess now I most.
I'm looking at Flashify. Download the stock image with the patch already on it and flash it that way. Do you recommend doing it that way?
Another thing, Any good and simple backup tool? I just want to skip the part where I need to configure everything again.

You can't flash the stock image with flashify. Use fastboot as I have already advised.
Titanium backup is a great backup app, but you won't wipe the device if you only flash the system.img, boot.img and radio.img

No worries. Linux is even easier. You just stick the fastboot binaries in /usr/bin
Note, you'll probably need to use sudo / su to call fastboot.

If all this stuff is needed I better go all in and get AOSiP.
Gonna do it with Nexus Root Toolkit, get TWRP and flash the ROM.
I'm kinda new to this kind of stuff, I use ArchLinux and mess with my computer like there's no tomorrow but doing stuff with a phone can brick it. So, any last advice?
Thanks both in advance.

Better chance of bricking it with ToolKit than with manual fastboot. I run stock rooted with TWRP also. Takes 2-3 minutes to update with fastboot. If toolkit fails will most likely need fastboot to fix it anyway.

Don't use toolkits unless you can use fastboot..so just use fastboot. I'm not saying this for fun you know...if anything, its quite boring having to say this to everyone on a daily basis
Use fastboot please. Read my fastboot thread. You understand that fastboot is Googles method for flashing Google android on the google nexus? It should be pretty clear that this is the best tool for the job.

Yeap, just tried to Flash my Super Awesome Nexus 5 with the LMY48I Update Zip file (10mb), via TWRP, while Rooted and I got the Nice Red Error... So I guess I have to download the Factory image LMY48I and via fastboot just flash the system.img if nothing else has been modified since LMY48B... In case I loose Root Access I might just reflash the script via TWRP... I will post update if anyone interested...

You will lose root. Flash supersu from recovery before first boot
Ok, just confirming here before I mess up. I have an international N6 rooted with stock recovery running LMY47Z. I can't update OTA. So I should flash the full stock image and then run cf-auto-root before rebooting.
Is this correct? Will I lose my user data when I do this? If so, what's the easiest way to backup and restore? Can't I flash the 25MB update .zip instead?
Thanks!

You are already on 6.0.1 Marshmallow. You said it yourself. You said you even still have stock recovery. So, seems like you don't need to do anything?
Maybe you wrote something wrong or left something out? Please clarify, and we'll be glad to help if we can.

As far as I know you need to be on the bootloader screen, not recovery screen. Maybe that was your problem? RSDLite just automates a bunch of stuff ADB does.
Also, sometimes you need to use msfastboot instead of fastboot commands. I sort of remember why, but I don't want to state anything incorrectly. But try msfastboot if fastboot doesn't work.
For ROMs I use TWRP, so I'm not an ADB expert -- but I have used it. However, it's been over two years since I've had to flash a full firmware image via ADB (but I have flashed individual elements since then like modems, boot logos, etc.), so I'm just going to say yes flash every partition manually.
