[Q] (Q)How to install the official 4.2.2 update with root

Ive downloaded the 4.2.2 official update on my HTC one,When I click install now it goes into TWRP and doesnt allow me to update.
Do I need to flash the custom recovery to update?
and if so will I need to flash TWRP later after upgrading or is there another way?
Can I locate the update file on TWRP and install it ?

You SHOULD have STOCK recovery in order to flash/install the OTA

Search for the stock recovery, download it, flash it with the phone in fsstboot mode.
fastboot flash recovery recoveryfilename
This should be documented in the returning to stock sticky thread. Or one of the other many similar questions here.

after you are done with the OTA, .... Unlock the bootloader again, and then whichever recovery you like you can go for it..

[Q] Help for Recovery before install Paranoid 4.4

Hello,
I want to install Paranoid Android 4.4
My Z1 C6903 is in Stock rom 14.3.A.0.757 rooted, TA backup done and bootloader unlocked with stock recovery.
Now i'm a little bit lost, what should I do ?
1/ Install a custom recovery (TWRP or CWM) that I pick up separately and after install Paranoid 4.4
or
2/ Just follow the flashing instruction from Paranoid ? (does the boot.img include a custom recovery ?)
Thanks for the help ! (and sorry for my english.)

I have no idea, flash it and see, or just decompile the boot.img and see.

I've just flashed my Z1 with PA 4.4. It works perfectly !! Thanks for the advice. :good:
FYI, the recovery is CWM.
Last request : Is it possible to have stock camera app (from Z1 or Z2) into the PA 4.4 rom ?

No

ZR-lockeddualrecovery2.7.124-BETA.installer is for locked bootloaders. read OP before doing anything otherwise you will brick your phone.
You can flash recovery kernel. see in dev forum

this is the latest link for our device from it's official http://nut.xperia-files.com/?dlid=WlItbG9ja2VkZHVhbHJlY292ZXJ5Mi43LjE1NC1CRVRBLmluc3RhbGxlci56aXA=

@sijav isnt NUT's recovery for locked BL? correct me.

what's differences between BL and UL for you guys?
UL can flash kernel.
BL cannot flash kernel!
what's recovery?
some binary files that should be called before calling and starting system so it's pretty good to start in kernel before trying to start system.
but what if we can't modify the kernel?
yet we can modify the system and put some binary files in stock chargemon (when the phone trying to figure whether goes to offline charging or not) so it starts first in whole system and wait for a key, if pressed just execute the recovery!
so again, can something that specifically build for LB be flashed or run on UB?? my answer is mostly yes.
can something that needs flashing kernel or other things than system and data on LB? my answer is mostly NO
is [NUT] recovery for both ub and lb? yes! if you don't have recovery on kernel. ( or else you have two recovery one in kernel and one in system and 3 seconds delay in each starting nothing else)

[Q] Can anyone root android L ??

Finally we got Android L, so can anyone root it ??

On UB, flash twrp recovery using fastboot (fastboot flash boot recovery.img). Then flash super su using recovery. After that flash back kernel using flashtool.
I'm still figuring out how to flash a twrp recovery on ub

If this root method is working, you can try flash recovery in FOTA partition by for example Xperia Recovery Manager.

If you have allready rooted phone, use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2859904
To create rooted update file and flash it via recovery.
You might need to downgrade,root and update via your own lollipop package.

Unlocking bootloader and installing Custom recovery [Sprout4] [Marshmallow 6.0]

So i have successfully installed a custom recovery on my phone running Marshmallow and also unlocked the bootloader!
Its quite simple actually!
I am not responsible for any damage you make to your phone!
Steps-
1. Download the zip file from the link and extract it.
2. Install both the drivers and then proceed!(The drivers are universal and work for Windows 98,xp,vista,7,8,8.1,10 but in 8,8.1,10 you might need to turn off the digital signature verification-Make good use of google)
3.After installing the drivers , connect your phone in switched on and remember to turn on usb debugging in the dev options!
4. Open the unlock_bootloader_... and run the .bat file and follow the on screen steps( All the data will be formatted so make a backup beforehand)
5.After doing this you will void your warranty so make sure you know what you are doing!
6. Open the one click installer folder and replace the recovery.img with any recovery that you want.
7. Now again connect your phone in switched on mode and usb debugging on and run the .bat file of recovery installer.. and follow the on screen steps!
8.As soon as the the recovery installation is over do not let teh phone reboot just press the vol up button as the installation process stops and then go to recovery!
9.Boom!! Now you have a phone with unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery installed on marshmallow!!
10.Flash custom Kernels,Boot Animations, Logos and root your phone running marshmallow and brag!

Recovery Kernel?
Hi bro just a quick question did you use the MM kernel in the custom recovery?
On our None AOSP standard Mediatek devices the rom does a Kernel check to ensure both the boot and recovery Kernels are of the same version eg KK boot = KK Recovery LP boot = LP Recovery so I just wondered if the MM Kernel still works in the Philz recovery or are you still using a kernel from a older version of android eg KK or LP.
Hope that makes sense to you :laugh:

How to open the unlock_bootloader ??? There is no such option

how about rooting? what method did you use?

Well i did not make anything that can do that but you'll probably find it in other threads. You can also flash bootloader.using the stock rom file via sp flash tools to relock it just untick everything else but bootloader!

Unlocking bootloader is necessary? Can I not just do it with it locked bootloader?

Yes it does, the tool is also all about it. In the one click recovery intaller folder replace the recovery.img with your twrp(you will have to rename twrp.img file to recovery.img) and follow the steps in the first post in this thread!
