Hello. I had an issue in TWRP when I tried to flash a rom I got the error that system was set to read only. Recovery allowed me to wipe system. I tried a few times and decided to restore my nandroid. I got the same error. I panicked, tried 4 more times, and it finally restored. I know the rom I was good (Resurrection,) as I checked the MD5. I also have flashed supersu and xposed. I am on the stock rom now. When I searched for a root cause, I only found it for other phones. Any ideas? Thanks.

When you first installed twrp did it ask you to allow read/write to system?

I don't believe so, but I am assuming I would have selected the correct option as I was able to flash super user. Thanks for the reply though!

Use TWRP Manager to refresh the recovery, and try again

So TWRP app said it could not flash due to error or already having the current recovery. I'll try flashify.

Reflashed and tried a different rom. Same issue. Thoughts on cm recovery?

Did you flash the correct version of TWRP via fastboot?

It will ask you to allow system write when you boot into it the first time.

I am certainly not a developer either, I just like tweaking my phone and I try to be super careful about following directions when it comes to things like modifying boot, recovery, system and so forth.
I wonder if flashing the proper stock recovery, then flashing TWRP again would work? Please get feedback on this as I am not sure if it is safe. Also maybe check the md5 on the TWRP download.

You are seeing the slider bar at the bottom of the screen when TWRP asks to allow system write, correct?

Had a brain fart earlier and started to install a backup over the stock rom. Pulled the battery as soon as I figured out what I did, and now it won't go past the red M. When I try to flash via RSD, it gets stuck on #5, and reads
"Failed Flashing Process. 5/24 oem fb_mode_set -> Phone returned FAIL."
Any ideas? I can't find the files for the one-click recovery, and trying the other threads' suggestions didn't work.

After unlocking my bootloader, I am trying to flash CWM recovery. However after flashing CWM recovery, while in fastboot mode, when I select the recovery option in fastboot mode it just restarts the device.
Has anyone else seen this problem? Could there be something I am doing wrong that is causing this to occur?
Are you using vol up to select or pwr? I think when selecting recovery the select button Is vol up instead of pwr.

I clearly can't read, thank you for pointing this out. It is now working properly.
Bootloaders are clearly confusing and scary places to spend time on your phone...they demand your full attention and the more you read and understand before you get in there the better.
Glad you figured it out!
What method was used for unlocking the bootloader?

Flash a custom recovery through fastboot, then you can easily install SU through one of the many flashable packages.
I think the CWM installer even has the option to root the first time you boot to it. I had the SuperSU.zip lying around, so I just threw that on my internal card in case it's ever needed again. Originally my unlock code wasn't in Motorolas database, so it took a bit of talking with CS to finally get my unlock code. It sounds like they've uploaded all of the device_ids since then though, so you should be good to go.

I like TWRP myself, couldn't I flash TWRP through Goo Manager. But CWM has ability to root, wow that's interesting. Btw, where do you get the SuperSU.zip from?

To root after. Just flash cwm, boot into recovery and then select reboot. This then gives you the option to delete recovery file and also root

I just got an OTA.
http://android.clients.google.com/p...signed-nakasi-KRT16S-from-KRT16O.3aad414b.zip
Changelog: https://funkyandroid.com/aosp-KRT16O-KRT16S.html
My initial analysis.. It's tiny, 1.5 megs large. It's adding the recovery-from-boot.p stuff back, something I think disappeared in like 4.3 or so, so this will wipe out custom recovery when booted. Just remove the file from /system and re-flash recovery.
Bunch of files are patched, including build.prop for build info but it's still 4.4. No kernel change.
You'll have to re-root, as usual. This, with the recovery wipe, means you'll be using fastboot to flash recovery, re-flash supersu, etc.
AdAway is saying it can't remount /system. I didn't have this problem previously, so something might have changed here. I can do it manually in adb but AdAway keeps failing to do it itself.
Any idea what it does?

I just got the exact same thing! It looks like a patch to the original 4.4 OTA.

Analyzing, although I'm not the best at this. Looks like it's enabling the recovery-from-boot.p again, something that seemed to disappear in like 4.3. Will over-write custom recovery, so we'll have to delete the file from /system and re-flash CWM/TWRP.
It's patching a large number of other files, but I couldn't guess what it's doing. I'm sure someone else could.
It flashed fast enough on my system, I'll update if it changed to 4.4.1 or anything like that.
I've flashed the update KRT16S and recovery not wiped. Twrp still there and working.

My recovery is gone after that little update. I even tried reflashing it using fastboot and it was not installed after a reboot again so something is writing over TWRP on a reboot for me.

Read the op
I also got the OTA update today. It blasted away TWRP and SU. Simple process to reload both.
BTW... the KRT16O update files no longer appear for download on the Nexus Factory Image page on Google, replaced with KRT16S.
ADAway has no problem for me. adaway 2.3 with superSU1.69. Both recovery image and supersu need to reinstall again.
I flashed stock recovery and unrooted just to be safe, then used ADB sideload to apply the update. All went well. I'm letting it sit for a while before flashing TWRP and installing SuperSU.......

I did the same thing but I'm getting an error while installing the update, error 7 I think. Any ideas?
The exact same thing happened to me when I tried to install the JWR66Y-to-KRT16O. I got lucky this time. Whew!
You could try downloading the full factory image from Google, extract the image files, and use fastboot flash. I would do that with boot.img and system.img
If that fails, you probably have something inside the system files that isn't stock.

What version of TWRP are you guys running?

I HAVE AN XT890 and have been using it for about two weeks..
I rooted the phone and just installed rooted apps on top of stock firmware.
but then I tried installing a mod ROM and it goes trough, but when is at the "Type password to decrypt storage"
I enter my code and it goes fwd but then it just stops at the green android dude that has gears for top and bottom parts....
I thought it was a problem with my password, but I realized that it still recognizes it, since it does not go to the green android sceen if I enter the incorrect password..
I tried to just wait for it.. But no luck..
tried to flash a stock ROM using RSD lite
I get an error with a command Not recognized
In recovery, I try to wipe data, but it says:
wiping data
Formating /data...
Error mounting /data!
Skipping format...
Formatting /cache...

So.. I got it to work.. This is what I did
Flashed twrp and was able to wipe all data correctly.
Tried to flash ROM but Took too long
Flashed cmw and installed the ROM.. And voilà!!
All is good now!
Nice one. Installing the ROM can take some time. Even in twrp.

Is there a proper way to install roms? Okay let me refrase that... I dont think ive flash twrp correctly because whenever i install a custom rom it doesnt boot. Ive wiped and full wipe before flashing and even tried flashing from internal sd to ext sd with no avail.*
I flashed twrp through Flashify.
I'm so excited we have root now! Im so thankful for you guys that put your time and effort for us!
Thanks devs!
Edit: just a bad download

not sure how you tried to install TWRP, but make sure you hit "recovery image" to flash TWRP and not "boot image" on flashify.
hope this helps.
I reflashed the recovery and the same result...
I tried flashing the same custom ROM twice in a row and went back to the main menu of the recovery then power off. i turned it back on and it booted into the ROM.
so i tried a different ROM the same way and its not working again...
I have no idea whats going on here. this is so weird
looks like the stock rooted rom is the only one the flashes flawlessly
Redownload the twrp file and flash it through flashify also are you just flashing the ROM and not doing wipes
