Just download the image and flash the radio separately via fastboot.

Some of us would rather save on data caps and the like by only downloading the kilobytes we need instead of hundreds of megabytes...nvm slow download speeds.

Use Fastboot or Attempt Flashify. This is not a ZIP and is an .img 63MB

I download images using WiFi on my laptop so I can use fastboot. I don't think you can flash images outside of fastboot but I could be wrong.

I have Comcast so I guess each is just as bad.
Also there is an OP with flashable zips of the radios.

Flashable zips not yet done, have to study for exams but if someone does the flashable zip I'll include it to OP and give credits
The standalone .img files are there though. You'd just need to make a zip to the partition with modem @ /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modem

[RESTORE] Factory Restore 24A zip

Here's a fast way to do a full factory restore so you can take an ota without erasing your internal storage.
This will not however remove the rooted message for a warrant claim.
Check MD5's before flashing.
Step 1: Flash Flash KK24a System Restore 1st.
Step 2: Flash KK24a Bootstack Restore 2nd.
Warning: You will loose your custom recovery after reboot.

Can't do 27a restore as System.img is too big for a zip to be flashed. Its over 2.2gb. Needs to be under 2.1gb for custom recovery to flash it. I can't get it compressed under 2.1gb.

This is cool thanks!

Way cool !! Thanks!

@MicroMod777, just to make sure before I proceed, I lose my custom recovery (in op), but I'm assuming I maintain root? I've read from others root is kept through 27a, and that Freedom Tools also restores recovery. Am I correct on all? Thank you!

You'll loose root, but root detection is still there. You can use my freedom tools to get custom recovery on 27a.

Excellent, thank @MicroMod777. One more question; after I flash this, I'm unrooted, no custom recovery. If I root the 24a using ioroot25 (but not a custom recovery), will the root maintain through the updates to 27A? I recall reading somewhere on here that it did. Thanks for your work!!

Not really sure, but you can always use Stump Root on 27A. Can take up to 10 minutes for it to root through brute force:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/orig-development/root-stump-root-lg-g3-sprint-verizon-t2850906

I am pretty sure root maintains with the OTA 27A.

Awesome. This is great for when I gotta go to stock real quick for some fix or something and will real helpful once lollipop is out

Looks like they may have patched that in twrp recently.
https://github.com/omnirom/android_bootable_recovery/commit/78ab0c5807c17e343cc4fa9af86ea2d787e0e047
Though this could also just be for backups over 2gb... But they split those anyway.

I haven't had to use it on my LP system images. I used 7zip to compress one with zerofree, the other without zerofree, and the difference was around 8MB. I'm assuming LG didn't add too much junk info. this time around.

Looking for stock recovery to flash OTA

I need the stock recovery image (from 23.16.3.victara_retca.retca.en.CA) so I can flash the 6.0 update since it won't work with TWRP.
Any help? Google isn't providing me with much.

Does it have to be from the Canadian variant (not sure if the recovery images are different between variants)?
Tried looking here for the correct zip, which should contain the recovery image?

I have no clue. I doubt it would have to be the retCA version. I'm sure everything besides radio and system will be the same.

This is from the latest RETCA XT1097 5.1 firmware:

Worked perfectly.
My process
- Flash stock 5.1 using fastboot (Steps can be found on Motorola's site or somewhere on XDA)
- Install Marshmallow OTA
- Flash cracked boot.img for Marshmallow. This step is needed in order for TWRP to stick and for you to root without getting stuck on the warning screen. (I'll find the link for you if you can't. It's somewhere on XDA.)
- Flash TWRP
- Create backup so I don't have to go through this process next time haha

Awesome! Thanks for the tip. I got as far as the 6.0 OTA (RETCA), and am now trying to get root back again. Where did you find the cracked boot.img?

Something odd has happened since upgrading to 6.0.
'adb devices' still sees my phone, but 'fastboot devices' no longer sees anything, and making a desktop back-up with adb now creates a file containing 0 bytes.
Everything else seems fine. Are there some new permissions I need to give before this will work?
Thanks again.
Edit: I managed to get fastboot working, however now I've run into a new problem.
To confirm, when you say flash the cracked boot.img for Marshmallow, I should execute 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' for the cracked boot.img?
I'm getting the error: mismatched partition size (boot)
I can still enter TWRP with fastboot, but it's not permanent without the cracked boot.img
Am I missing a step?
Edit #2: Finally got TWRP to stick another way and have root now. Thanks for everything!

flash stock. via twrp?

Hey guys, I was hoping to flash a pure stock 7.x preferably via twrp.
A buddy of mine a year ago and me to flash pure Nexus for him but now needs a stock phone for business security net purposes.
Is there a link for this? I've searched and have come up short.
I'm guessing it'll have to update bootloader, radio and kernel as well?
I know how to do this via command line. Was really hoping for a way to do it on the fly since this is not my phone and taking a PC for a TWRP ready device is a hassle.

Google search says that TWRP can not flash factory images.
Check the TWRP FAQ if you'd like.

This should be a relatively easy thing so I'm surprised it doesn't exist

there is no reason for it to HAVE to be twrp flashable, just google for "NEXUS ROOT TOOLKIT" you will see on there restore to stock, and re-lock boot-loader, not positive but i think twrp cant flash stock unrooted images, i could be wrong

TWRP can flash a stock image if someone creates it. Unless there is something odd about the nexus, but I doubt that. The only thing that shouldn't be flashed stock would be recovery.
I don't think I need to use some toolkit... adb and fastboot commands are simple enough.
I was hoping to avoid needing a PC at another persons house, I mean that is kinda the point of twrp.
I am surprised this doesn't exist. It does for every other device I've owned. It's honestly just a wiped clean, twrp backup of a stock device with TWRP installed.
If I owned the device I would make it for you guys. It seems something that is lacking that is really handy.
I guess I'll round up a laptop. Thanks for the links and suggestions.

Google has done that for you already. Just unpack the archive you choose and the four images are in there.

I thought we've already decided I cannot flash these images with TWRP....

Different Google search gave this. I can find nothing else on TWRP site or G+

Appears you can also use FlashFire.
Thanks for the help.

OP could flash one of the stock lite ROMs in the development forum and get the TWRP-flashable stock ROM he's looking for. Danvdh and tupac4u both offer one that is nothing more a debloated stock ROM.

TWRP is able to flash system images from 3.0.2 and on. Just unpack the archive and select install img. Remember to flash stock kernel and newest radio and bootloader too (bare in mind that flashable bootloader is harder to find. You might have to find older one and update the files inside on your own). Afterwards flash stock recovery and lock bootloader with a zip. Now you can just reboot it. It's not that hard.

For Nexus 6 https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=59728002/

Thank you.
I went ahead and simply flashed him 100% stock via flash and fastboot.

This is probably resolved now, just adding info though. I had flashed stock 7.1.1 zip downloaded from google via twrp 3.0.3.0. It removed twrp itself too and I was back on stock.

QA1 Update Package

Ok, so I have the QA1 package from AT&T, how to I turn it into something that Odin can use?

Is it the OTA update or the actual full firmware?
IF its just the OTA package, we can still use that, all we have to do is flash the preceding firmware with ODIN and then use recovery to flash the OTA zip.

Upon closer inspection, it's just the update package. I can upload it somewhere, but probably not necessary. Downloaded from here with a tip from another thread:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuWin32\bin\wget.exe" --user-agent="SAMSUNG-Android" --no-check-certificate "https://xdmd.sl.attcompute.com/agents/42925/1488/SS-G900AUCS4DPH4-to-U4DQA1-UP"

How do I make this into a zip that can update via recovery?
edit: this is probably faster than downloading via Samsung: https://goo.gl/jGt7TO

Literally all you have to do is put ".zip" at the end of the filename. Its just a zip file without the extension.

It shouldn't... then again I had one OTA flash that half-flashed and then wiped everything so its a good idea to back up your important stuff

Bummer...wiped. Not a huge deal as I had a backup, but to anyone else following: this wipes everything.

Added QA1 - QB1 update here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/at...les-tested-update-to-marshmallow-ph2-t3450223
This WILL wipe your data when you flash this using recovery.
