Hi
i want to replace my phone and bring it back
but i have flashed a custom rom
now i want to flash the system image from the original rom
fastboot flash system system.img
does not work
file is too large
can i flash it another way ??
thanks
Long time flasher here, but I'm trying to do something I often don't do - go back to a stock rooted setup.
When I try to flash the factory images (flash-all.sh) it always errors-out saying it can't find the system.img. So I fastboot flash each img manually. The system boots fine.
But as soon as I flash TWRP into the recovery partition, there is an error message at boot that the system is corrupted and to wipe the data.
What's the trick to get this working? Do I need to flash an insecure boot img first?
Thanks for the info!
That system corruption message is normal when totally stock. You need to flash a modified boot image or custom kernel, which can be found in the forums. That will resolve the corruption message.
So I was restoring the stock boot image so I could flash magisk, and I ran into a bit of a problem. I tried booting it up after flashing, and it's stuck on the boot screen so I'm assuming I flashed a bad boot. This wouldn't normally be a problem, except that my volume up button doesnt work meaning I can't boot back into recovery mode/bootloader. Is there a way to get to the bootloader or recovery screen without using the volume up button?
I think you might have accidentally flashed the stock boot image to your recovery. Have you checked the option to flash the boot image and not recovery?

I'm pretty sure I flashed to boot, I can turn it on and it just shows the blu logo. Before I had a custom boot image though and it's not showing that anymore though.
I'm assuming that custom boot image came prerooted right? You might need to flash the rom that came with the custom image to boot. An easier way to get Magisk which I've done is to flash rom, then flash the unSU zip to remove traces of root then you can flash Magisk like normal.

I would do that, except with the volume up button broken I'm unable to get to recovery mode, and without being able to boot into the system I can't use adb
I accidentally flashed vbmeta.img to boot when updating rom. Boot image is gone and need help. I can boot into twrp.
I tried restoring a backup still couldn't boot.
Found the solution thanks.
Hello,
So I did a mistake by flashing TWRP into the boot partition... Now whenever I reboot my phone it enters TWRP. How can I fix that or is it bricked? I can't find anywhere on the Internet stock boot images, only some modded kernels or something like that. Can anyone tell me how can I get stock boot.img and flash it so that I can use my phone again?

Downllad zip or tgz file for your extract firmware, ectract boot img and then flash by fastboot to boot
