I flashed 5.0 ages ago since I live in NZ and I heard that I can get the official version now so I need to return to stock somehow so I can install the latest update, so does anyone have a stock rom or a method to return to stock and still be able to receive the updates
See any response by the forum member "reefuge" - his signature contains a stock ROM link.
For example, in my thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/help/xt1068-ota-lollipop-update-failing-t3035150
try to flash the rom via fastboot, using the commands on 4.2 on this thread
You need a XML zip of the rom , to have the XML zip of yours rom search in here and download the file regards yours model and OS version that you wanna...
download is very slow, here a mirror but the mirror is incomplete.
download, unzip, to the some folder of mfastboot and give the commands a try, while the phone is conected via USB to the PC in the bootloader screen, you must have motorola driver update, to know if you have the drivers, just plug the phone on normal on mode, and see if you can copy and past files to the phone...
If you follow this procedure you will erase everything on the phone, so do a backup...
To receved a OTA update, you will need to have everything on stock so no root no custom recovery, the bootloader state don't matter. :fingers-crossed: :good:

Hi,
My orange EE UK phone is on version Android 4.2.2 ,It is rooted etc with clockworkmod installed I have a update to 4.3, this won't install and have been told that I should flash back stock recovery .
I downloaded the 4.3 OTA file and copied the file onto my laptop from my phone.
I have read somewhere the within the 4.3 Zip file there is the stock recovery file that I need , is this true ?? if so where in the zip file will I find the recovery file.
If when I get the stock recovery file will I be able to flash it with the software (One_M7_All-In-One_Kit_v1.0 ) if not what software would I need to download.
I hope I've made my self quite clear and hope somebody can help me.
Take care everybody and thanks for all your help over the years

You will need the stock recovery from your 4.2.2 version, not the 4.3. If you have that ruu you can extract from the firmware folder. If you don't have, try this link. Be sure to get the version for your current OS ie: 3.x.x.x
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2545227
The toolkit should work for you but select your recovery , or just use adb directly (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img)
my version is 2.24.61.1
I cant find this version anywhere

I think any recovery from a 2.24.xxx.x will work, but wait and see if someone else comments.
the recovery from this zip, would likely work. I used a Telus one for my Rogers device.
http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_2-24-161-1-zip/
I got myself in a situation where I have the mismathched FW and BL versions:
bootloader: US_epad-10.26.1.7
firmware: JSS15J.US_epad-10.26.1.18
I have CM11 on, but it seems to freeze (almost always if I don't interact with the tablet for 5 seconds or so).
I am able to install jb-4.3_ota-full_tf701t-macallan.zip, but it exibits the same freezing behavior as CM11.
I figure, I need to get the .18 BL on it somehow, but am not sure how.
A few questions:
1. Is there a way to figure out what the SKU is (other than looking at settings->about->software)? I got the device from bestbuy.ca (Canada).
2. How do I get the correct version of BL on the tablet?
Other stuff:
I cannot install UL-K00C-WW-10.26.1.18-user.zip or UL-K00C-US-10.26.1.18-user.zip through CWM. The following error shows up: asset_failed: getprop ("ro.product.device") == "K00C" || ...
You and I seem to have essentially the same problem.
Looks like the answer is over here.
From what I can tell, here's what we both need to do:
Download your stock firmware package.
Extract the zip to get a file named UL-K00C-WW-10.26.1.18-user.zip (or UL-K00C-US-10.26.1.18-user.zip for my SKU, I suppose)
Place this file on /sdcard/ in the root directory through MTP
Download stock recovery
Place stock recovery.img into the fastboot.exe folder
Plug in, put the tablet, boot to fastboot mode
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
The Android on his back should appear and the tablet will flash to fully stock bootloader and firmware 10.26.1.18 using the ASUS system update.
Should now be fully stock and updated.
But I can't verify these steps will work until I get to try them myself. I'm downloading my firmware right now, but ASUS's servers are giving me <40kb/s, so that's not going to work. Meanwhile I don't see a live link anywhere to recovery.img.
If you can get either of those files for me, share them and I'll risk my tablet trying the steps above...
Finally got it working by using the SD card update method. To me, the most helpful thread was this one. Particularly useful was the summary post at the very top of page 10 by JoshReuben.

Hello, I flashed LOS with my m7 international version. Sadly, Lineage dropped the support. I then flashed back to stock ROM via twrp. However, the stock ROM always prompt me to install the OTA update and I couldn't because I replaced the stock recovery with twrp.
So, my question is can I just revert twrp back to stock recovery with the ROM being untouched. Or do I need to do so like this 100%?
Thanks.
If you can find the correct version of the stock recovery for your current firmware you can fastboot flash that.

How can I find the stock recovery? My version is: 7.18.708.21
However, I cannot find it on google.com.
please help.
When I typed "HTC One M7 stock recovery" into Google the first result I got was this XDA thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2545227, so that's where I'd start looking.
As far as I can tell 7.18.708.21 is a HTC Asia HK software version. That thread has a recovery image for 7.18.708.2. I couldn't tell you whether the recovery changed at all between that and 7.18.708.21, so it's possible that that file will do what you want, but I cannot make any promises.
Otherwise you just have to try an RUU, as that guide you linked describes.
Yeah, I also got 7.18.708.2. However, I would not take the risk unless I found the right one. Thanks though.

Thats the recovery you need, flash it with fastboot then reboot phone and install the post poned ota
If the ota fails to install, youll have to flash a ruu
Hi guys.
Trying to sort this one out once and for all.
Just got a notice that 11.0.5.0.QFKEUXM are ready for downloading. The problem is that i'm running with unlocked bootloader and rooted. So every time it try to update it will just get stuck at the custom recovery.
Trying to flash the downloaded OTA via TWRP gives me -Zip file is corrupt.
Manually downloaded the recovery rom via getdroidtips but that gives me same error message.
Trying to find a fastboot rom of 11.0.5.0.QFKEUXM but that seems impossible.
So what's the best options here? Just wait untill someone release the fastboot one? Or is there any other safe way to flash and keep all the data?
Cheers

I'll give you the links from the official download site.
In theory you should be able to update using the recovery ROM in TWRP, if I remember correctly the OTA ROM doesn't work in TWRP.
Get the latest recovery ROM from here
https://c.mi.com/oc/miuidownload/detail?device=1700361
Haven't checked what version is currently available, but you can always get the latest fastboot ROM from here. If it's not the latest, then wait a couple of days for it to appear. I think it normally gets updated at the same time as the recovery ROM is released, but couldn't say for definite.
https://c.mi.com/oc/miuidownload/detail?guide=2
Scroll through the list in section 2
For some reason they appear as a blank page on a mobile browser, so if viewing on your phone you will need to change the browser to view in desktop mode.

Hi everyone, I really need some help. Took my phone to I.T shop to have it unlocked and EU rom stable put on. I got my phone back with TWRP on it saying no rom. I know nothing about this kind of thing and now I am stuck. Is there someone who can fix this remotely for me?? Thanks in advance
In twrp Click install and Check in the download folder in case it's not in the root folder, if there is no ROM there you could fix it yourself by flashing the last fastboot ROM from a bat file or cmd line
i think it was 12.5.5 or something like that and then you can update to EU 12.5.12 stable via twrp
AND NEVER USE THAT SHOP AGAIN LOL

Thanks for your reply. Could this be done remotely. I really have no idea how to do any of this stuff which is why i first went to a shop. Im happy to pay for a good outcome
Anyone who flashes ROMs could do it in a few minutes via team viewer or something.... But it maybe beneficial to learn for yourself
It's really simple, you've already done the hardest part if you've unlocked the bootloader and installed twrp
Just put the phone in fastboot mode and then plug into PC and click on the bat file
Download: MIUI 12 stable update rolling out to several Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO devices
MIUI 12 stable builds have begun rolling out to several Xiaomi, Redmi, and POCO devices. Head on over for Recovery ROM and Fastboot ROM download links!
www.xda-developers.com
Select your phone and download the MIUI stock ROM. (Do NOT extract it.)
Boot into Twrp and wipe and factory reset.
Move the miui stock rom to the phone.
Select flash and select the zip file.
Swipe to flash
Then download and flash(move to phone, flash) the 'ARM64 Android 11' Gapps(Google apps) https://opengapps.org/
Then reboot.
All data will be lost. If you want to keep your photos and videos, before doing everything, go to twrp , connect the phone to a pc, and move the 'Dcim' folder to the computer side.
If you have a working TWRP, just use it to flash latest EU version, format data, reboot system. Done.
Then if you want to go back to a stock ROM, flash it via fastboot or twrp depending on the ROM format you download.

If he's stuck in twrp how can he download a ROM to flash? I don't think you can transfer files to a phone that doesn't have a ROM to flash via twrp
Fastboot first from a PC cmd maybe the only way to get started
He is asking someone else to do the process he doesn't know anything about these things (and I don't understand why buying a phone to make things like this if not capable). Anyway go on YouTube and check people doing the process, I don't think is difficult watching a guy and copy what he is doing
I am replying to close this thread. He contacted me over telegram. I took a look at his phone and the phone is not being detected in fastboot mode on his pc. Maybe hard bricked or in edl mode. Also his twrp is not accessible. So i suggested him to contact the edl guy and he fixed the phone.
So ask mods to close this thread?

I know it's closed as such but in twrp, I can copy files from pc to phone. He could have done the same. BTW, I'm using the very first twrp that many wouldn't install but my phone is recognised in Windows while in recovery. This might help someone else
