So I'm trying to go to 100% stock I flashed everything else but the stock recovery flashes but when I go to the recovery all I get is a dead android with red exclamation. I tried flashing the twrp and that flashes fine but the stock one from 5.0 & 5.0.1 both don't stick. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?
The code I use to flash it is fastboot flash recovery recovery.img.
Like I said with that code the twrp works but not the stock one.
I'm trying to flash stock recovery so I can use the ota that's was linked earlier in the general section.
Any help I greatly appreciated.

I searched and read through some of the threads and really didn't find a conclusive answer to what I am looking for. So I decided to create a new thread.
My question is: Is there any way to root the N1 that has Stock FRF91? I'm not a noob in rooting, just wanted to make sure. I don't really care about unlocking the bootloader (warranty isn't an issue for me).
Can I just use the fastboot oem unlock command to unlock bootloader then install the custom recovery and install custom roms? Or is there a new method to rooting Stock FRF91 currently.
Thanks
Yes.

The instructions in that link wont work for stock FRF91 with stock recovery. I couldnt get the Amon recovery to load onto my phone in order to flash the root. I have tried to ADB it 5 times and each time it says successful, but when i go into recovery all i get is the android with the !.
By all means OP, you can try this and if you get it to work, let me know what you did. I tried 5 times and couldnt get it to work.
my bootloader is unlocked also.

after you pushed custom recovery, did you press Volume Down button while rebooting to go directly into recovery? because after you install custom recovery and let the phone reboot, the stock recovery will remain; you should try to go into recovery immediately after pushing the amon ra recovery without letting the phone boot up
let me know if that works
What is the method for rooting "without using SDK tools"? There are emulator apps in the market but they refuse to work without super user permissions? I have stock frf91 and looking for a way to root my nexus one?

that did it sir. thank you. Was it like this in 2.1? I dont remember having it revery back to stock recovery when following the tutorials. Then again maybe i never let it completely boot back up...

Interesting. So once you use the Amon recovery it sticks as long as you dont reboot after you install it. I guess i was just lucky the first time!
excuse me for being stupid please....i have rooted my atrix before with ease but something happened tonight with rooting the Vivid...i had everything rooted completely and went to push out the VJRAIDER rom...however something went terribly wrong! the phone seems to be stuck in a boot loop. in the Hboot menu everything ends up being a boot loop, recovery does nothing...factory image does nothing....please someone give me a hand i am just lost...
What steps did you do so far? Have you flashed the kernel already? Maybe try flashing it in fastboot.
can you explain how to do what your saying. i have tried to relock the phone which worked but still stuck in the boot loop...tried to do the factory reset. how can i load the stock image on through the CDM? im decently savvy on this stuff just new to this phone...
Please refer to:

There you will find what you need.
not sure i am understanding how i can use that information without the ability to get into my OS.....it seems i don't have an OS to boot into? or is it that something didn't finish or setup?
Wow! he have the same exact problem. Please notify me when you find a fix for this! Im trying really hard
i was just able to do the fastboot flash boot boot.img and it went through.....what should i do from this point?

Now if your still have issue with recovery (recovery showing up for half a second then reboots) just reflash recovery from bootloader then you can start the process of flashing the ROM over.
There's an instructions post on how flash the ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21042415&postcount=4
Please read it carefully
its not coming up to recovery AT ALL....and i read that multiple times....i am not understanding it obviously and need an extra hand.

So you pulled the battery and put it back and held the volume down button.
Do you see recovery option there if not as the previous post said flash recovery using fastboot flash.....

I used your Odin restore today on my GS4 GPE and it worked great. Thanks!
Great. Glad it worked for you!
Just a kind of off-topic question guys, is camera working fine on the real GPE S4 with this update?
It doesn't work at all on the international S4, some people are trying to figure it out but so far... nothing...
Is it working fine on your phones?

Many people use the ODIN images I create for the basis of roms for other S4 variants. I've no issue with that.

Hi, thanks for your continued effort with these files. I am stuck in a weird place and could use some advice.
When I updated from 4.4.4 to 5.0, I sideloaded the OTA in stock recovery, and it worked great. I just tried to do the same thing with 5.0 to 5.1, and am running into a weird issue. First, I tried to sideload the OTA from a CWM recovery that I booted into (but did not flash). I am not sure if this was a mistake, but the sideload failed because of a mismatch with device jgedlte. Which made no sense, because my device is indeed that device. I realized I probably should have done the sideload in stock recovery. So I tried to boot into stock recovery, and it's like it's not even there anymore. I got into a screen which I'd never seen before (which I now believe it the Odin screen) saying "downloading do not turn off target" and in the upper left "could not do normal boot." I have multiple ways of getting into recovery (keypress sequence at power on, adb reboot, bootloader selection, etc) and all of them take me into this weird Odin screen, and once I get there, any reboot cycle takes me back there, UNLESS I actually try to enter Odin (something I'd never done before), and then I can "cancel" out of "downloading a custom OS" and reboot device as normal.
Any ideas what's going on? Seems like my stock bootloader might be screwed up somehow? Which would be weird since I never did anything to it...

You need stock recovery to flash the OTA. Consider to flash it in order to use The update.
Boot into 5.0 let it download the ota.
Then flash the update and h must have stock recovery installer

As far as I know, I should already have stock recovery. I've never installed another one. But even weirder is that trying to enter recovery takes me into Odin. Is that expected under any circumstances? Just trying to make sense of where I am now before I do anything else. If I need to re-flash stock recovery then I will do that, but first I'm curious why I go into Odin when trying to enter recovery, that's never happened in the past on any device.
Never flash an ota with custom recovery. It clearly corrupted your device which is not good. At this point I'd seriously use the odin image and upgrade.

Yeah, my bad there for sure. Sorry for another newbie question, but will complete Odin restore flash wipe my data? I've rooted a dozen devices and done lots of flashing, but I've never touched Odin before so I don't know.
I want to keep my data so I'm tempted to just flash the stock recovery in Odin, and then sideload OTA again (in correct recovery this time), but I also don't want to risk borking my device further than it is...
Thanks for the info!

Thanks for explaining that. I went ahead and just flashed the NL3 stock recovery in Odin (thanks again to you for posting that in the other thread) and after that was able to sideload the OTA properly. Need to remember: stock recovery for sideloading OTA's, and custom for sideloading root.
I don't even flash recovery for sideloading root. I have a program that boots cwm without flashing and then waits for you to put it in sideload mode so it can flash supersu zip.

Same here. I never flash a custom recovery on any of my devices. A simple fastboot boot custom-recovery.img will load a custom recovery without flashing it. Which is why it was so weird that I managed to get my recovery borked up somehow when trying to sideload OTA from a custom (but not flashed) recovery. I'm not surprised the OTA failed, but I am surprised my recovery got hosed.

I'm not surprised. While some people have had success flashing ota from custom recovery, it's almost always a very bad idea and usual something gets corrupt or goes wrong. But hey, that's why we have these odin images. Lol

If you flashed a different recovery like TWRP then you'll have to use that again.. Have you rooted the phone before? If so, you probably have to flash stock firmware files one by one in Odin including flashing the recovery.

Since you've rooted the phone I'm gonna say the easiest way to fix this right now is to re-flash TWRP and download a rom that one of the devs on here have created and push it to the phone and use TWRP to flash it.. This is the best way for now since you are going to need a LOT more information and a better understanding of how to fully remove the root access because you cannot run a stock rom while rooted.. After you at least get it going then read around on here and you'll find all the answers and ways to fix things by those of us who've already been in your spot.

I'm trying to flash a custom rom but the most I can get it to do is hang up on the Samsung logo or a black screen, is there any specific roms I should try?
Hi, I have this problem: when I boot or reboot the phone it starts in recovery mode, and then I have to press start to actually boot the phone. It is the same when I reboot after an upload to next version, but of course it fails because it doesn't reboot but it goes to recovery mode. That's really tough, because android pie is making me crazy, it is full of bugs, slow and almost unusable. I have rooted the phone and flashed the stock firmware after unlocking bootloader. I don't know what to do, it really is impossible to use this version of Android pie. I don't know if I should re-flash everything, because I have a lot of data and it would be an enormous backup to do with the risk to be lost. Please I beg you help me for this also because I found other useful help on this forum so I am already thankful for all you're doing here. Cheers!
You said you manually flashed the stock firmware? You can maybe try reflashing your boot partition with the stock one.
