Flashed 5.1 OTA last night.
This morning, trying to reinstall TWRP.
Command prompt screen on PC, did usual "fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-shamu.img"
Appears to execute properly.
Reboot device. Then when booting to recovery, it's still stock recovery.
Any suggestions welcome.
Flash twrp, go into recovery then root. It will stick after.

Thanks, but after flashing twrp, when I boot to recovery, it's stock recovery. I can not flash SuperSU from stock recovery.
Don't reboot after you flash it Go straight into recovery from the bootloader. When you reboot it wipes the recovery and replaces it with stock.

Thank you kind sir! I learned something today, and that's always a good way to start the day.
I'm glad that it was "user error" and not something with 5.1.

Thanks for this! I've looked through a bunch of guides and for some reason all of them just say to reboot after flashing twrp.
Not sticking n my shamu running 7.0
Edit: sorted with different root zip

Note many devices will replace your custom recovery automatically during first boot. To prevent this, use Google to find the proper key combo to enter recovery. After typing fastboot reboot, hold the key combo and boot to TWRP. Once TWRP is booted, TWRP will patch the stock ROM to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP.

Downloaded update (256mb) seems to install goes to TWRP bootscreen, select reboot, go back to settings>update and its still showing the update as if it never installed. Do I have to flash the update using TWRP manually? Am I getting this because I use TWRP and should I change to CW 10?
Already downloaded 1.31 stock rooted rom image (900mb) just encase.

you have to have stock recovery, stock rom, and bootloader relocked.
Download the rooted rom here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2368907 and flash in twrp. The firmware would be flashed in fastboot htcruu

No, flashing the rom won't erase the data. Usually when moving between rooms, it's a good idea to wipe data anyway. I did not wipe data moving from the previous stock rooted rom to this update.
The firm doesn't touch the data either.

That is correct....
No joy, TWRP gave me an error on flashing the zip and then said I wasn't rooted. I slid the slider to the right to re-root and I'm now stuck at the HTC quietly brilliant screen............
When I try to boot into recovery the TWRP screen flashes by and I'm at the HTC screen again.

In a cmd window and while in bootloader try this
type "fastboot erase cache" without the quotes and press enter
then type "fastboot reboot" without the quotes and press enter
once rebooted type "adb reboot recovery" without the quotes and press enter
Hopefully that will get you going
Shoot me a PM if you have more questions

Back up and running. Many thanks.
So, where did I go wrong? When I tried to flash the stock rom TWRP gave me an error on the zip (Sprint_HTC_One_1.31.651.2_Stock_Rooted). The reboot got me into the loop.
I need help with this as well. I'm rooted with s-off (not moonshine method) and after flashing the stock_rooted zip in TWRP, everything appears to work until after it displays the "updating android apps" window, then it just hangs on "finishing boot". Do I need to re-flash my custom rom as well prior to rebooting? I'm using tranquil rom by the way.

Did you flash stock rooted rom without wipe? Just wipe cache, dalvik cache, data, and system. Reflash the tranquil rom.

I did that but my baseband just reverts back to the previous one, which is why I thought I could just flash this over my pre-existing rom. Should I just flash the firmware? I'm only looking to update my radios.
Sent from my HTCONE using xda premium
Edit: Nevermind, just realized I need to flash the firmware for soff only... Too tired yesterday. If only I could do it on Terminal Emulator.
I have Verizon Nexus 6 which came with LMY47E system but as it is well known LMY47I is now officially available. but with older radio. I'm already unlocked and rooted and have latest version of TWRP recovery installed instead of stock recovery. So my question is can I extract system.img and flash using TWRP install option and get newer system but keeping original radio and user data without data wipe? Should I wipe any cashe before flashing to avoid possible problems?
Anything else I should flash to make sure I will be able to use phone without problems while keeping root and unlocked bootloader or i will have to do unlocking and rooting again? Any help is appreciated
Fastboot flash system and boot and you'll be good.

Thanks for quick reply. So I can't use TWRP recovery? Flashing boot will not wipe root and bootloader?
It's a lot easier to just flash system and boot in fastboot. Flashing system will erase root but after you flash system and boot go directly into recovery and flash Su.

That's exactly how I understand and that's why I"m asking if it's possible to do the upgrade using TWRP recovery by flashing just one IMG file at a time in specific sequence and than restarting the phone while still keeping current radio and data plus SuperSU at the end
You can't flash the IMG files in twrp. You'll need to use fastboot. Just flashed whichever files you need. I usually flash everything but recovery and then just reroot. Takes about 10 minutes.
Hello everyone,
My Nexus 6 has TWRP installed without any ROM (had CM12.1, but removed it). Now I want to flash my stock Lollipop 5.1.1 ROM, which is a .tgz file (thus, I can't flash using TWRP as it only supports .zip). Also, fastboot is not working in TWRP. What should I do to flash stock rom and unroot my device?

Either use ADB or Nexus Root Toolkit. Easiest way in my opinion is to use the latter, pretty much just one click. Just use the flash stock plus unroot option.

My nexus 6 is soft bricked I'm assuming, I can't get past the 6.0.1 boot up screen it just keeps on booting . The device is unlocked with TWRP recovery but not rooted as far as I know it's not rooted. The only way I can check MTP is through twrp but it's showing an exclmation point in device mgr. I'm in wugs toolkit now under Advanced Utilities, before I got the boot logo it had the you're device is corrupt. I fixed the corrupt message by putting my device in boot loader mode and in Advanced Utilities under fastboot flash then I clicked Boot [Kernel] I flashed the stock kernel and that got rid of the corrupt device warning screen. I'm gonna try flashing a modified boot img next but I'm having trouble. I just need someone to stick with me for awhile and help me fix this thing because I gotta return it and I don't have long.

If TWRP is installed there's no problem. Just a matter of the pc let recognize the device. Quit the toolkits though!
Do you have google drivers installed? Once they are installed your device should be recognized and you can copy any of the fine roms that can be found here.

the corrupt device message is only there because you have twrp and a stock kernel. flash a custom kernel.
It's fixed, everything is running as it should no boot loops or corrupt screen, now I gotta check to see if recovery is gone. I used wugs to flash stock 6.0.1

I used to have the corrupt message also, but it would go away and boot just fine. Started when I had TWRP. As someone mentioned, if this is a really annoyance, just flash a custom kernel . Though mine went away when I rooted with SuperSU (which patches the kernel I think)

I used wugs toolkit to flash back to complete stock it worked my device is running as normal, but when I power of the device and power it back on the corrupt message then disappears and boots right up. When I boot into boot loader mode and boot recovery it shows the green android robot laying down. After I flashed back to stock 6.0.1 it got rid of twrp and root but I'm still unlocked . The unlocked part I'm not worried about. In order to fix this do I have to 're root and flash twrp all over again or is there an easier way. I need step by step, on how to get rid of the corrupt message. Example, like when someone says flash img to me that's about as clear as mud.....

i believe that your bootloader is unlocked, thats why its showing up on a non rooted n6. you can lock your bootloader(i wouldnt, you can have problems later) or you can flash twrp recovery, then a custom kernel, and you dont need to root it for that.

a stock twrp flashable, then theres no zip version of it available. BUT twrp can also flash .img kernels as well. if you have the factory image available, you can unzip it and just flash the boot.img in twrp(or fastboot). but why the stock kernel?? if you just want stock, id recommend just fastboot flashing the boot.img from the factory image. boot.img is the kernel.

If you're rooted then you can use terminal commands in the phone to flash recovery.
For example, if the recovery .img file is on the root of the internal storage (/sdcard) and its the latest official TWRP the commands would be:
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/twrp-3.2.2-0-oneplus3.img of=/dev/block/sde21
Partition sde21 is the recovery partition.

Really think I might try that, just hope I don't brick lol
If you can still boot your os which I assume, and if you are root, you can just download twrp app from play store, flash your old recovery file (bluspark).
It worked as a charm for me
I've had issues like this in the past. The *fix* was a bit troublesome because it wiped all my data and there was no way around it, fortunately I backup my stuff on a computer regularly so that wasn't a problem for me.
Anyway, if you're still having trouble here is what worked for me.
1. Download stock recovery for the OP3T (http://oxygenos.oneplus.net.s3.amazonaws.com/recovery_op3t.img)
2. Boot into fastboot
3. Flash the stock recovery img
4. reboot into recovery
5. Format your phone to factory
6. Download custom TWRP (This is what I use with Oreo and it works perfectly) - https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=890129502657595792
7. reboot phone into fastboot again
8. Flash the custom TWRP recovery
9. Reboot into recovery
You should be back in business. Hope this helps.
The latest version of TWRP (3.2.3-0) seems to have fixed decryption problems: https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...ial-twrp-touch-recovery-t3742894/post77270858
