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 think you can using ext2explore-2.2.71 you can then get boot.

That worked!
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.

I was able to get a H81120V boot.img extracted from the kdz, but it looks like flashing the update.zip through TWRP breaks bluetooth.

Code:
fastboot flash boot test_boot.img

Do u lose clockwork recovery when u reboot? That's the problem I'm having updating to 2.3.1
breaks wifi for me
How do I flash the img? Do I use adb and if so what's the adb commands?
After I flash this, i just go into rom manager and download/install the update and that's it?
Will i lose root by flashing this?

test_boot.img should be in the folder, c:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools\
since that is where you are running flashboot from

looks like installing a rooted img breaks wifi. i did the superboot/paulobrian method then installed the voodoo ext 4 kernel, then wifi was broken.
i reflashed my boot.img and re-updated via recovery and i have wifi back.

Thanks for the help...it worked.
worked!!!....so can we gain root access back or we just got to hang tight?
the flash worked but I can't update, it says file_getprop: failed to stat "system/build.prop" No such file or directory.
Error in sdcard/update.zip (status 7)

heres how to get root back:
download the superboot/paulobrian method.
boot phone to fastboot.
Code:
fastboot boot boot.superboot.img
let phone boot, open terminal, su, just to check.
reboot phone.
rooted and ota'd now!
I had a rooted m7 with stock recovery and after the 4.4.2 ota i lost root. i want to root again but don't want to have a custom recovery flashed.
where can i find stock recovery for 4.4.2 to apply after installing supersu?
the new ota update doesn't contain stock recovery or does it?

It should.
Open the OTA.zip then the firmware.zip inside it, and extract "recovery.img"

Would you be willing to post your recovery.img? I replaced my recovery.img with CWM recovery and I need a stock recovery if I ever want to back out from encrypting my phone.
Thanks
So I forgot to backup my stock kernel before flashing franco R23. Can I just extract the boot.img from the update.zip? I'm on LMY47M. Thanks!

yes, assuming that's the build your are running.
flash using fastboot:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
you'll have to root again after, if desired.

It depends what you mean bybuodste.zip. if you mean OTA then no but you can normally get it from the factory images but there isn't one for M so you'll need to find the rooted ROM.zip and extract it from there.

^^^ this guy is right, I read the OP too quickly and missed the part about update.zip, I just assumed that we were talking about factory images.
I don't think the boot.img changed after D (including E, M and I), but a little digging around should verify that.
factory images are here:
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
whatever you do, do not attempt to relock your boot loader (should you want to for some reason) until everything is working properly.

Good point.
Could download the OTA files and run an md5sum on all the boot patches. If they match in each, they're patching kernel identically and the factory image version for any 5.1 would be appropriate.
Can someone please post a stock recovery image for 20q? I cannot use LGUP and want to get rid of a TWRP recovery so that OTA updates will work.

Thanks, but I think that I already looked through the zip file and I don't see a recovery.img file included in it. I'm only looking at the zip files because I can't use the kdz files. Am I looking for the wrong thing? In the end, I want a stock recovery image installed.
I'm sorry, I misunderstood. So you are looking to flash the recovery partition only back to stock, and not the rest of the partitions?

Phone updated from 13.0.2.0 to 13.0.4.0 accidentally or by itself, not sure, received the latest OTA and after reboot root is gone...
How can i get root back without loosing data or formatting?
You need to reinstall it using adb method, remember: everytime you update you loose the root

Sorry, i meant loose data... And last question, which adb method should i use? I don't have twrp installed either as it wasn't available while i was rooting 13.0.2.0... Not sure if it's available now...?

Adb method doesn't need twrp, it is a bit more difficult to inject the root but you don't need to go through twrp. Just search on Google you will find several guides, I can tell you that you need the boot.img of the installed ROM in order to complete the process. You usually find this file into the fastboot ROM zip package

So I'm guessing it's the same process as last time, the required boot.img will need to be from the updated 13.0.4.0 version? I barely remember how i did it initially, if you have any guides that work id really appreciate it
For the version 13.0.2.0 I used tge boot.img of the same fastboot ROM, I don't know if it would work with another boot.img honestly

Did you manage to get it done? Apparently you can extract the 13.0.4 boot.img from the roms payload.bin file but i couldn't get it done myself... Did you manage to root yours?
