now that Oreo is available a rooted flashable Oreo zip is possible for those of us that are rooted on 11g?
or is not possible.
anyone can confirm if is even possible with H872
I believe it is. It doesn't matter if it's a flashable zip, you should be able to install the system and kernel image from the Oreo KDZ by extracting it.

We don't have the Oreo kdz, at least I haven't seen it posted to here yet. I'm going to try building the source code, and see what I get though.

Oh, is it OTA only? Perhaps you could have someone take the OTA then dump their system and boot images
First we gotta find "someone". I'm not entirely sure how it works, but I know we need either the ota file, or a kdz to start with. I'm trying to figure it out, but there's little to no documentation.
Found the KDZ! https://lg-firmwares.com/ has it!
it's possible and I already make it. But i have to wait hours til uploaded to gdrive
It's completely doable. I've already done it. Either repack your own or use immns' flashable ZIP.
However, I didn't dirty flash it. I did both a Factory Restore and wiped Data before flashing it. Also, make sure you reflash TWRP to Recovery prior to exiting afterwards.
H872 is same as h872bk?

I haven't been able to find stock .img files for anything...
Most especially need a stock boot.img and a stock recovery.img
It would nice to have all of them though. Where can these be found?
Yes i also would love those files, or another way to get my phone COMPLETELY back to stock. Recovery and everything... if possible
I could use a stock boot.img as well... that is the correct size to flash with fastboot.

Koush has the the stock boot.img: http://koush.tandtgaming.com/samsung/crespo/
But it wont flash with fastboot.
He said we need to truncate it so it will flash via fastoot.
Anyone knows how to do this?

Yeah, I have that one as well. But it doesn't work with fastboot. It's too big. I'm going to wait until someone links the correct boot.img for fastboot.
I just posted a thread with aosp images. The factory images everyone wants aren't available from google yet unfortunately, however the ones I posted should work just fine.

Will those allow you to update the new OTA update?
I'm pretty sure that is why everyone wants the stock boot.img right now.
edit: Nope that boot.img won't allow you to update, at least not through CWR. I get an error. Also breaks wifi (assuming wifi works if you flash all the .imgs).

I fixed the wifi bug. See my thread's OP. As far as the not being able to update, it's a recovery issue, and nothing to do with the boot.img

Thanks for fixing the wifi on those, but the update still won't flash using this boot.img (sadly) and CWM.
Koush is claiming that we really need the stock boot.img.
To do the update just do the nandroid for it that the other guy posted around here... It works well

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

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!
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.

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.

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.

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.

Try the app FlashFire.
I read here, somewhere, that you need stock recovery to do the update. Since I have flashed another recovery (and rooted and installed Xposed), I'm not sure if I can update to EMUI5.
Furthermore, I'm not even sure how to do the update. The update (b351) is available in FF and checks out as "compatible", but I don't know what the install procedure is. Especially without stock recovery.
Any help or info is much appreciated
yeah, you should flash stock recovery thru ADB and thn try updating...
Not adb but fastboot

That you may need to find your own. Well in custom ROMs, they are designed to work with custom recoveries like TWRP. While in stock, the whole system is inside update.app, which can't be read by a custom recovery.

There's been several updates I have been unable to install as I am rooted. Is there an easy way to apply updates? Can you unroot, apply updates, then re-root for example? I'm confused about what might be the way. I've seen the debrand thread. But you would still be rooted and therefore unable to apply future updates?
Any advise appreciated

Hurupdater is the simplest solution and I've never had any issues at all.
Did you rename the files correctly?
Did you download the correct files?
Did you put unofficial TWRP .IMG in same directory as the other files and renamed it?
So in total you should have 5 files in one directory. Then just flash hurupdater .zip file in TWRP. That's it.

Yea just flash no check recovery and it'll overlook the twrp recovery when you install the OTA update is system update.
Obviously has to be an official update but that's all the tinkering that's required.
