Is it possible to install a custom rom from using fastboot instead of installing it from TWRP? I have TWRP installed, but it would be a lot more convenient if I didn't have to copy the rom onto my phone first.

Hey guys,
I'm just curious and actually quite new to the "sideload-ing" thing and ADB. So, I was wondering if it was possible to sideload a stock ROM when on a custom ROM? or do you just use the CWM recovery to flash the stock ROM? or by using Odin?
Hello,
I have a question regarding how to flash CM 11.
After unlocking the bootloader, should I install a custom recovery and flash the ROM zip from custom recovery or should I put the phone in fastboot mode and flash the rom from there (http://www.androidheadlines.com/2014/07/android-flash-oneplus-one-stock-cyanogenmod-11s.html)?
Thanks for your time!

You should download a custom recovery, personally recommend twrp. I would flash the custom ROM from the dev section in recovery, to make sure you get the most updated version.
Hi, my N5 has a problem, it has the USB port broken so i can't connect it to the PC. It now has KitKat 4.4.4.
Here is my problem:
I want to update to Lollipop but i can't do it with Factory image and/or Sideload because the USB problem.
I tried to "unroot" but i couldn't do it right, i've downloaded the 5.0 OTA and my phone rebooted with a red triangle and it said "error" i know this is because i still keep my phone rooted.
So i would like to know 2 things:
1) How do i unroot definitely? because i did it before but it seems it didn't do right, i clicked "unroot" on SuperSU (i read that sometimes when you press "unroot" it doesn't erase all the folders and files so you have to do by your own, but what files and what folders are they?)
2) If i unroot and i if update to Lollipop, can i be root without using the USB port?
Of you're rooted, why would you want the stock ota anyway? There are PLENTY of 5.0 Roms in the development section with custom kernels (custom kernels are needed in 5.0 lollipop for root). Flash one of those in recovery. Make sure you have the latest TWRP which you can flash with flashify if you can't fastboot flash using USB.

Is really needed to flash a custom kernel to get root on Lollipop? I'm asking because in this thread [ROM] [STOCK] Android 5.0 LRX21O - Stock/Flashable (11/12/14) FAQ nº 2 it says:
Q: How do I get root?
A: If you want to keep the stock kernel, use CF-Auto-Root. If you flash a custom kernel, just flash the newest SuperSU ZIP afterwards.

So i understand that we can have root with stock kernel, is this ok or did i misunderstood something?
If i want to flash a custom kernel, where can i get "SuperSU" Zip to get root? and does it need to clean something after or before flashing this file? caché, data, etc?
Yes CF AUTO ROOT will allow your to root the stock image. However since youre already rooted youre running into issues flashing it successfully. I attached the SU zip below. My recomendation is if you want the stock ota image, download it from the developer thread, flash francos custim kernel for lollipop ans then flash the root zip i have attached below. I would complete a full wipe of system, data, and both caches (not internal storage or you will lose all on sd card) before flashing. Once you wipe just flash the the rom, kernel and root zip in that order.

It worked perfectly!
I tried first with CF AutoRoot but it failed, but it worked with SuperSU.

What help exactly ? Finding a custom ROM for your phone or installing one.if its installing one just head on to recovery mode ,click install and then choose the .zip file of the ROM to install .after that install gapps for the new ROMs android versions and then a SuperSU.zip file after. And reboot system after.
When custom rom installed twrp reinstall
every time install custom rom
Why ?
Sorry for bad english....
"Go to install and browse to the zip and install the zip. The zip will install TWRP on boot partition of both slots."
I copied this from the installation guide on twrp.me for the Moto G7 Power. TWRP is installed on your boot partition. Flashing a new boot.img removes TWRP... and a custom ROM contains a boot.img...

Lineage based ROMs come with a specialized recovery now. After they are flashed TWRP recovery gets overwritten by the recovery built into the ROM. Before PIE based ROMs this wasn't an issue. I could go further but I won't.

The whole boot gets overwritten by the new boot.img, that's all. It doesn't depend on your ROM. There is no other way for a A/B device.
