Download it, unzip it, run the .bat file while in fastboot mode, wait for the magic.

Thanks, what firmware does this flash? It shows "21.128-15" in the file name so I am just wondering. The latest is 21.44.12.quark_verizon.en.us.

21.21.15 The original firmware from the October, 2014 release

Oh yeah, thanks! I just downloaded it and opened it up. This will flash literally everything from radios to the bootloader to system. Thanks now I have it just in case.
Edit: bootloader stays modified...

where can i find 21.44.12?
Edit: do i flash through rsdlite or mofo?

I have been unable to find that version myself. You don't use RSD or MOFO. After you unzip the file look for the .bat file. Put your phone in recovery mode and open the .bat file. It will flash on its own.

Thanks for the reply... I actually messed up my recovery file so I couldnt go that route... luckily it was easy as fastboot flash recovery recovery.img after getting the correct file

Is there any way to get an unrooted system.img to flash with mofo? I'm trying to 'unroot' my phone and keep the modifications I have made, so I can continue using the apps that don't allow me to use them when I'm rooted (Barclays Mobile Banking and Pingit)

That I'm unsure of, have you tried any of the root cloaking apps in the Play Store?

Yes, they don't work. I tried removing su and superuser.apk, but still no luck. It won't probably work, but I'd like to try, see the differences between a rooted and an unrooted system.img, also see if these apps work on a 'flashed' system.img that is unrooted...
I'll keep trying to convert the system.img_sparsechunk* from the stock rom into a mofo flashable system.img... If I can't do it then I'll open a thread asking for a dd from an unrooted system partition

question for taking the OTA with root and safestrap?

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).

[Q] Where can I find Tmobile US Stock Recovery 6.10.531.10?

Hellos guys,
I am trying to find the stock recovery for T-mobile US 6.10.531.10 (NOT 6.10.531.9) . Does anybody has it or point me on the right direction? I want to update my phone through OTA so I can get lollipop however I cannot find the stock recovery.
I am S-On all stock except for the recovery, I had TWRP so I can make backups. Now I want to install back the stock recovery so i can upgrade but I don't seem to find it anywhere. I managed to find the RUU but the recovery image is not inside the "rom.zip" on my Temp folder when I run it. These are the only files that it shows:
android-info.txt
dzdata_16g.hdr
dzdata_32g.hdr
dzdata_64g.hdr
tp_HMX852XD.img
boot_signed.img
dzdata_16.img
dzdata_32.img
dzdata_64.img
Am I missing something? Please help. I have tried to find it the whole day with no luck.
Also see the the screenshot.

just run the Lollipop RUU, same as the OTA but its the full thing rather than an OTA: http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-t-mobile/news/ follow the manual update instructions, download is at the bottom.
edit: it will wipe your phone, so backup anything you want to keep first.

Seanie, thank you for your reply. I need the stock recovery because precisely I was trying to avoid wiping my phone. I am just a very small step away to be able to update without wiping, I just can't find this stock recovery. Why is it that the recovery.img it is not inside the rom.zip RUU? Am I missing something?
Currently I flashed the stock recovery 6.10.5310.9 and i tried to install the OTA but when it gets to the recovery it looks like it starts installing moving the green line a little bit but soon after I get a red triangle and stops, which I am assuming it is because i do not have the proper recovery.
Any help so i do not need to wipe will be greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!

ok, you cant take it out of the RUU.zip as its an encrypted RUU, so take it out of the OTA.
download the OTA as normal, but select install later, then plug your phone into the computer and copy the OTA.zip to your computer from your phone, its in the internal storage, downloads folder, its just a zip file, so once its on your computer, open it with WinRAR or whatever you use to open zip files and in there you will see firmware.zip, open that too and take out recovery.img, flash it like any other recovery, then reboot and try and update again.
If the OTA then fails again, it will be down to modified system files or root, you will have no choice but to backup and use the full RUU.

oh I see. Thank you very much...quick question though: I am currently on version 6.10.513.10 the OTA is to upgrade to version 7.18.513.2, if i extract the recovery from this OTA i will be flashing the 7.18. recovery, isn't? Don't I need the recovery from 6.10 in order to be able to upgrade? If so, this is why i was looking also for the 6.10.513.10 OTA but I cannot find it.
Thank you again!

the OTA will check to see if you have 6.10.513.10 or 7.18.513.2 recovery, cant be anything earlier than those 2, current or previous, recovery update by the OTA will just be skipped.

I see! Great news! Good to know. So the OTA can be install with a newer stock recovery (matching the OTA I presume).
I am currently at work without my cell phone but I will try this, as soon as I get back home and post the results.
One last thing, to flash the stock recovery is as simple as "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (or whatever the recovery file .img name is), correct?
I do not need to lock the bootloader in order to upgrade using the OTA as long as everything else is still stock. ...I do have root though, but I also read that this shouldn't be a problem either, correct?
Thank you sooo much!

No need to lock the bootloader for an ota, root might be a problem as it modifies system files, just give it a go, and yes, the flash of the recovery is the same as any other recovery file.

Seanie, all went as expected! It worked. I was able to extract the recovery.img file from the firmware.zip inside the 7.18 OTA zip file that was downloaded to the internal storage. Then proceed to flash it as any other recovery with fastboot. Afer that, the OTA update installed with o problem. Having root did not mattered. I did have to root it again though.
Thank you so much for your support!!! :good:
Worked for me as well, thank you.

Install Motorola Device Manager from Moto's website. That will give you the drivers you need.
My advice is don't use RSDlite. To get it to work, you have to edit the xml file in the firmware that you're trying to flash to remove all the other devices that it inexplicably also includes. All RSDlite does is automate the fastboot flashing process. A better way to do it, in my opinion, is to edit the .bat file that comes with the factory images and manually input the fastboot commands that you see there. If you want more detailed directions, see my post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/help/turbo-firmware-t3254185

I mean right click on the .bat file that is included in the .zip file of the firmware that you're trying to flash and select "edit." This allows you to see the commands that the .bat file does when you double click on it.
But you don't have to worry about that, because I already outlined the necessary commands in the post that I gave you a link to.

any idea why fastboot doesnt see my device now? it did before, but I get the yellow triangle in device manager. I have installed every driver i can find... including motorola device manager and ran it several times. Was on mofo'd 4.4.4. and for some dumb reason thought i could flash the lollipop bootloader so now i am stuck with bootloader, recovery, but no os. any advice would be great.
OK, so i finally got fastboot to recognize my device again. Trying to download stock firmware from Rootjunky. Am i correct that I extract the zip into the fastboot folder then issue the commands? I am about to pull my hair out...

Stock boot.img issue

So I installed a fresh android on my phone and I wanted to install magisk as well for the systemless interface. Because I'm having issues with installing magisk via TWP, I decided to look for a way to do it via ADB. And so I did. This post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445 tells everything BUT ONE THING THAT I CANNOT SEEM TO FIGURE OUT. To be able to do all of that, I need a stock boot.img from my phone. I tried several ways to get it out of my phone and I even downloaded one (that bricked my phone so I had to re-fix it).
The question is: how do I pull the boot.img from my UNROOTED phone without using anything but adb or other tools like that?
My phone is an Xperia z2 D6503 running android marshmallow 6.0.1

Need stock H81120v boot.img

The only .zip I can find already has a modified boot.img that is rooted. I'm looking for a bone stock one so that I can apply the H21120x OTA via TWRP. (I guess I Could just write out the boot.img update from the updater-script).
Anyone have a copy of this from their device or a way to get it from a KDZ?

I'd also recommend not doing it the way I did (modifying the update.zip and flashing stock boot.img) it seems to have broken Bluetooth.
