[Q] OTA Upgrade to Sense 5.5 Android 4.4.2

Hi,
I'm running sense 5.5 android 4.3 version 3.63.707.3, firm, rooted, CWMR, s-on.
I'm able to download the 4.20.707.6 OTA update, but can't install it. Flashing the stock recovery will fix it?
Thx.

yes lol as we said in the other thread you posted in. I posted you the stock recovery for your version there. your recovery here
save it to your adb/fastboot folder
boot your phone in bootloader mode and select fastboot
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <name_of_file>.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
You will probably loose root ,you will need to root your phone again after ota's

Since I'm able to download the OTA update file, shouldn't I be able to extract the recovery from the file? Flashing it would that be safer?

You should use that one I linked above. Easy to flash.

Worked just fine, man. Thx again! :good:
I have another question, though. Which custom recovery do you recommend? I had CWMR, but reading the forum I noticed a lot of people using TWRP.

I recommend latest twrp recovery (either 2.6.6.3 or 2.6.6.4) which is required to flash 4.4 roms

What if u flash with fastboot the pds partition? And what is exactly the error u get?
If that doesn't work just flash with rsd-lite (latest) and your firmware (latest) and recover it. From then on u can try again.

See my signature
I assume you have a working adb and fastboot, otherwise u couldn't have installed the recovery.
Your firmware can be found under section E.
When you have downloaded your fimware (always 4.1.2). Extract it and flash the pds_signed or pds.bin. Something with pds.
This can be done by moving the pds* to the directory with the fastboot executable. Then boot into ap fastboot mode and check if your device is recognized by using "fastboot devices". If yes, do the following command to flash the pds partition "fastboot flash pds (pds-file)"
If it doesn't work, post the results. Not only that is says an error, but post the error string.

I meant, in my signature under my post u can find within the link INDEX/GUIDE, ALL Things RAZR I under paragraph/ section E a link to all the firmwares available for the Razr I.
But in this case i will post the full link to the firmware site, here.

I've download the zip but there is no pds file and i don't know how to use rsd (or is it anormal that the phone reference appear nowhere?!)

i tried to flash recovery_signed but i have the error

I looked a bit further into your problem, u may have this problem: this
So what we now are going to do is the following.
First can u enter recovery? and if i can, do u have a nandroid backup. If yes, restore it and just boot up the phone.
If u don't have the above. (all can be found with a bit of searching in the link in my signature)
1. Install RSD-Lite 6.1.x
2. Install the USB drivers for the phone
3. U already downloaded the right firmware (latest and the one from your region)
4. Boot in AP Fastboot and connect phone to USB port PC
5. In RSD-Lite u won't see your device. It doesn't have a system installed.
6. In RSD-Lite search in the above bar for the firmware zip file.
7. Click on flash or something. (there is a RSD-Lite tutorial in my signature in my post)
8. See what happens
9. Report back

Are you sure you installed drivers? RSD Lite should show Fastboot smi S as connected.
If you have installed drivers, and nothing is being detected, then you might want to prepare for several hours of headaches and lots of swearing.
You might have a chance doing this:
You will need to flash a custom recovery. If you can get CWM or TWRP working, you might have a chance to flash a zip.
i.e.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Since your PDS is damaged, Omar's MotoJB ROM will probably not work, so you will need to flash a clean, stock ROM.
The only stock ROMs I've found (that can be flashed with custom recovery) are:
deodexed Retail Great Britain ICS ROM
odexed Retail Great Britain ICS ROM
Note that going back to ICS using this zip file will not brick your device (at least it didn't for my phone) unless you do it with RSD Lite.
But please don't hold me responsible if it makes things worse for you.
If you manage to flash this and it works, you can then try the PDS fix.
Good luck... :good:

Sorry, forgot to set it to public, should be fixed now.

so now i have to flash the boot.img or what? i'm not really sure what to do with this zip

You need to flash custom recovery and then you can install a zip.
Here is a tutorial on how to use recovery, if you're unsure.

i can't make works neither cwm nor twrp

[ROM] Stock Rooted 5.0.1

In case accidentally goof up something, here is a stock lollipop system image that can be flashed in fastboot.
To flash it, attach phone to computer, open terminal and issue:
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
Ensuring that the path to the file is correct that is.
This only flashes the system image, you can get stock boot and recovery from intersect's other thread.

Well After downloading nesscary files android toolkit , and factory images . it kept failing when I did adb>reboot boot loader / Flash all after opening cmd in the toolkit file
What I ended up doing was using NRT Nexus Root Toolkit v2.0.5
To flash the IMG with force flash enabled . but instead of letting it auto download the IMG that would put me back at LMY47I . imported the .zip file I got from google for 47M and wala . back to LMY47M . with 5.1.1 .. Thank you hope this helps someone else .

How return from TWRP to original recovery NO ROOT

You will need to flash the stock recovery in the same way that you flashed the TWRP recovery. So the way I would do it is connect phone to laptop..then use command
"adb reboot bootloader"
Then when your phone is in bootloader mode and with the stock recovery in the same folder as where fastboot and adb are use the command
"fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
And replace recovery. img with the name of the recovery u want to flash.
Then reboot and you should be back to stock
I am on L09 but if you want I can upload my recovery
Edit: I found a stock recovery file in a thread, this is the one I used on my L09 - READ THE COMPATABILITY WARNING BEFORE FLASHING AS YOUR OWN RISK
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-s/help/stock-rom-t3230051

extract the recovery.img from your current update.app. then flash the img-file like you flashed the twrp recovery.

you need the working OEM-Unlock option in your settings or an TWRP backup without FRP-lock.
even with TWRP recovery you can´t flash anything with adb/fastboot while your device is FRP Locked.
