I have made 2 separate PC36IMG.zips for everyone that includes the contents of this EXACT RUU, except for one contains Amon_Ra recovery and the other contains ClockWorkMod recovery.
This will ONLY work for people who have run Unrevoked Forever and are s-off in hboot. This will basically run this RUU just like it would on the computer, while preserving your custom recovery.
NOTE: When tested this, I did NOT get the updated 1.71_003 PRI, i stayed on my same 1.40_003.
WARNING: I tested this twice before making this guide. I am NOT responsible for any problems you may encounter.
MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE STARTING!
1. Download which ever PC36IMG.zip you prefer
2. Mount your sdcard to your computer (select Disk Drive, not Charge Only)
3. Put the PC36IMG.zip on the ROOT of your sdcard.
4. Unmount your sdcard from your computer (select Charge Only)
5. Reboot your phone to the bootloader by powering off your phone, then turn on your phone while holding the volume down button. The PC36IMG.zip will automatically load.
6. When the bootloader asks to "Start Update?" use volume up for YES.
It will now flash all the components.
If you wish to use this stock ROM,
7. When asked to reboot, select YES.
8. You are DONE Don't follow any more steps!
If you wish to restore your nandroid backup,
7. When asked to reboot, select NO
8. After choosing NO to the reboot, you will see a menu again. Select Bootloader from the menu, then use the Volume Down button to hover over "Recovery" and press Power to click on it.
If your phone gets stuck at the White EVO 4G screen, pull your battery, and then power on while holding volume down again. It should boot to the bootloader again, where you can select recovery.
9. Once in recovery, use the nandroid menu option to restore your nandroid backup.
That's all there is to it!

Would like to know this as well. If there is no pri 1.7 are there any diffs from a stock rom worth loading this for?
Well, I personally didn't get the updated PRI, even after doing the ##786# method after flashing this... Some people supposedly got the PRI from running this RUU... idk.
Also, I really don't care what PRI I have, I really think there isn't much of a difference between any of them.... whatever. I just made these for people who want to update to the newest stock RUU out, and keep a custom recovery. And no, this doesn't have root while the phone is booted, BUT you can flash a root package (like 2.2-root.zip from my rooting thread) to get root.
regaw_leinad, forgive my noob question but what recovery comes with a stock Froyo from Sprint. Go to the store, buy an EVO, has 2.2 installed.... and the recovery is....
I am so cooked now, I forgot what I had in the beginning Recovery, Radio, PRI, etc.
I tried to use the search and google but didn't really find anything helpful. Almost 2 years ago, I unlocked the bootloader back on honeycomb and did custom recovery, root, and custom rom. Then a little while after ICS came out, I did the OTA update.
Today, I reset the xoom back to stock ICS and tried to unlock the bootloader again...thinking nothing of it. The process was taking a few minutes so I decided to get a snack and when I came back it was rebooting.
I assumed that it worked and continued to try and fastboot a recovery image. The recovery image installed and I did another reboot but was greeted with the android welcome screen. Anyways I went through the menus and then tried to enter recovery and it gave me an android laying on its back with and exclamation point above his open chest.
I hard rebooted and can still get into my device, but adb cannot seem to find my xoom anymore. I have tried it on a 64bit desktop and laptop with no luck.
Have I messed up? Or is there a simple fix that I am missing? Thanks in advance for any help!
Can you get into fastboot mode? The second time you unlocked did you have to go through the questions on your xoom again?

Yes, I can get into fastboot by holding the volume down key and the power button. That's fastboot, right?
Yes, I had to go through the menus the second time I unlocked.
sounds like the recovery you try to fastboot did not take or the rom was corrupt.. Which recovery was it? Do you want to be rooted and run a custom rom or completely stock? what xoom do you have(wifi, 3g, 4g)

Download your rom choice, gapps and put them on the root of your sd card. If they are already there skip this step
I like TWRP Recovery the best. Easy to use and lots of options.
download this Twrp 2.4 img to the folder you hve fastboot in
open a cmd prompt in that o that folder
type fastboot flash recovery TWRPv2.4.1.0.img
Once you have verification on your device that this has been flashed, reboot your device by holding volume up + power.
Then 3 seconds after you see the Motorola logo, hit volume down. You should now see "Android Recovery" in the top left corner. Hit volume up to boot into recovery.
You should be in twrp 2.4
select backup/restore and backup your current system
select install and find your rom select asnd then swipe to flash
when done then select home
select install again and find the gapps package and install
when done select wipe dalvick/cache
when done select reboot
select system
you should be good to go.
Well I got through all of the steps, but when I try to boot I get stuck in a loop of the roms boot logo. Is it okay to flash a wingray rom over a stingray device?

I think it is fine just the 3g/4g won't work.
I can get you going again but you are going to be starting with a locked honeycomb device. You will then have to either let it update to ICS or JB or unlock, root, install custom recovery and flash a rom. What xoom do you have 3g or 4g?

Okay I restored it again but this time i did a factory reset and wipe dalvick before flashing the rom and gapps. It works! Thank you for your help!
However, could I ask how to root this thing?
since you have a custom recovery on it already and are unlocked.
Download this file Universal xoom root place it on the root of your sd card and flash it. Then reboot and try a root required app such as root checker

hi
i've bought 703l from aliexpress, but on every offer, seller writes:
we will unseal the box to do "Quality Control",flash the Multi-language ROM and install Google play!
but bootloader was locked
so... i have multilanguages as video:
https://youtu.be/z3ZpE-3LTE4?t=9m17s
and when i make full wipe i lost it because rom is customized by seller? or when i update full firmware from huawei page?
i need a do this, because something wrong with wifi (max speed 1mbps) and ota update crashing on 19% (from 026 to 028 makes perfectly, but ota 029 stuck)
No i flashed mine many times and still have German as my System Language. But you will loose GAPPS, you have to flash them manualy back.
with full wipe?
The OTAs are failing because the seller most probably didn't flash the full ROM, just the customization.
I suggest to download the full b029 ROM & force a full install. Just make sure you're not rooted & have stock recovery.
Yes I wiped phone with TWRP complete!
You need stock recovery not twrp
Sent from my HUAWEI P8max using Tapatalk
Yes but with TWRP you can wipe the phone complete!
everything as you told

1. copy zip to "dload" folder on sd, go to settings>update>press menu>local update

Thanks very much,
I understand you mean to put the appropriate "UPDATE.APP" (zip) file
into "dload" folder on the root of >4Gb. micro sd card
inserted as external sd card to the phone.
With phone powered OFF pressing Vol-UP + Vol-Down + Power all together
the P8 Max will go into a complete "clean installation" No matter what was installed on the
phone before the procedure ???
Does "Bootloader" should be "unlocked" before any ROM flash/installation ???
please confirm

Hi, I've tried a few tutorials on this forum on how to root the Samsung Galaxy S7 G930f.
After flashing the chainfire autoroot file my device stays stuck on the Samsung logo I've waited over 1 hour for the device to boot but it does not.
My question is can anyone explain what I could be doing wrong my device is on stock nougat I did root successfully with magisk a couple of months back but was not happy with having to format my data.
I also prefer chainfire SuperSu. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
I also had the same problem. So, I did the old fashioned way.
1. Download TWRP.tar from here: https://dl.twrp.me/herolte/
2. Download the latest stable SuperSU zip. If you want the link: Here ya go
2. Instead of flashing the CFAutoroot file, open Odin, click on AP and select the TWRP that you downloaded.
3. Once it flashes successfully, power off the phone, then Press and hold Volume Up+Home+Power Button to get into the recovery.
4. Copy the SuperSU and flash it and Viola! You got SuperSU!
You probably knew steps 3,4 but I wrote them just in case
hi may I know if you reformat your data after step 4?

Well, yeah. I always start with a clean slate. Just a habit i picked up when i had a OnePlus One. You should be fine without a format though...Cause you're just rooting, not flashing a whole new ROM.
Thanks for helping me out, unfortunately after flashing twrp and booting into twrp recovery the default android recovery loads up.
I will continue searching for a method that does work. If you know anything else I could try please let me know.

That's weird, I just flashed stock firmware and TWRP a few mins ago and it worked fine for me. I hope you used the .tar and not the .img and the Odin that comes with CF Auto Root, not the one you use to flash the whole stock firmware.
I did use the .tar and have also tried with Odin that comes with cf autoroot.
Unfortunately I still get the same result flash of twrp is successful when I boot into recovery I get the android installing update with dead android then it just goes into to stock recovery.
I will try a few more times if no success I'll try with a fresh install of stock firmware.
Thanks for the help though appreciate it.
I decided to try again and succeeded but still had to format data to get the phone to boot. I made a full backup on my laptop before proceeding I did the following steps to successfully root.
I am in no way responsible for any lost data or bricked devices please note if you follow this tutorial you will trip knox and your warranty will be void.

7. Transfer the files to your SM-G920F sd card
8. Power off your SM-G920F and enter download mode by holding the volume down + home button + power button read the warning press up to allow custom flashing.
9. Open Odin I used Odin v3.12.3 tap the AP button locate the custom recovery and flash it's done be ready to enter twrp recovery as the device will boot quickly, as soon as it powers off to reboot hold the volume up + home button + power button if timed correctly you shall enter twrp recovery.

how did you backup your files on step 1 if your not rooted?
This is how I backed up my phone it's a bit tedious could have been done quicker.
First I removed my memory card from the phone. I then connected my phone in MTP mode to my laptop I dragged the folder of the files I needed to my laptop.
I then used MobileGo to export .apk files of the apps I wanted. I then exported the photos and videos I wanted to keep.
I did a WhatsApp backup copied the folder to my laptop.
I then made accounts on all games that I wanted to keep my progress on using Facebook and Google Play. Some games allows signing up with email address.
I used Mcbackup to backup all my contacts and e mailed them to myself.
I know that I could have used Google Drive or Samsung Cloud for some of the tasks but I prefer backing up this way.
Found this how-to guide and thought it might be nice to have it on site here in XDA. This is to go back to Stock ROM and Recovery. I know a lot of the roms right now are pretty experimental so here's a guide to go back to stock if you need a more solid daily driver for now. Anyway, onto the guide, but first, the sources:

Did you make sure the boot.img was not corrupt. Maybe try downloading and flashing it again? Sounds odd.

maybe a mismatched recovery/kernel version.
Which version of android are you running? Easiest way to test is just to flash a newer stock Rom. Since you have TWRP, do a full nandroid back up and then flash the latest nougat Rom and it should overwrite recovery. If recovery now works, extract the recovery partition, flash TWRP, restore your data backup and then restore your recovery backup.
got it done now just had to get the right rom for the phone and flashed it over on twrp but know it said it was rooted and then kinda just took itself off of it when doing root check its taking around 30secs to tell me unrooted when before it would tell me if it wqs or wasent in a few seconds
I have done every thing correctly, in original recovery when i press "install update from sdcard" i get "Couldent mount /sdcard" and thats it. iam stuck.
(BTW there is no sd card installed, only internal memory)

Stock recovery not working.
I have changed the ROM to my Asus Zenfone 3 ZE552KL many times. Tried again this morning,and last night.Failed.
Long story,please be patience with me.
- I managed to get the latest ROM from: https://www.asus.com/ro/Phone/ZenFone-3-ZE552KL/HelpDesk_Download/ (actually i got it from the english version) and installed the latest using the stock recovery.
- Previously i had root on my phone by flashing with TWRP, SuperSu. With the latest firmware from the official Asus site, SuperSu is not working anymore. I tried different versions of Supersu (flash versions and app versions) nothing worked. I was unable to get root back on my phone. For me root is very important.
- If i try to install stock rom's using TWRP 3.02. i can't. TWRP 3.0.2 does not recognize my sd-card, i can only copy rom's into internal storage. NO stock rom (even the old ones from 2016) will install on twrp 3.02.
If i install TWRP 3.1.0 or TWRP 3.1.1 i can access sd-card and install all the rom's. Installing is successful but it will boot about 5 times until i get message "your device has failed verification and may not work properly . The device will shutdown in 10 seconds"
- The solution that i found 1 month ago, is to flash stock recovery, and install using stock recovery a stock rom from asus website. I tried to do this last night & this morning. Failed to do so. Reason: no stock recovery works anymore. You can find stock recoveries here : https://www.asus.com/zentalk/thread-88883-1-1.html I also tried to ask for help on that forum, but it won't let me post in that thread.
- I had an old stock recovery, but i lost it. I need a stock recovery that will work. After i flash the stock recovery it gets stuck at "powered by Android" it does not continue from there.
- I can flash back custom TWRP recovery, but even if i install official stock rom it wont boot. I need a working stock recovery, or any solution.
I am stuck . Please help me!
