Yes, the stock factory image. Flash in fastboot. It's not a zip though.

Sorry, i meant flashable zip for twrp/cwm, so if anything bad ever happens i can reflash the system in recovery

Here's one from the development forum...I think this might be what you're requesting... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47024308
[ROM] [KRT16M] Pure Stock // Odex + Deodex // UNTOUCHED (Nov. 18, 2013)

Ah cool. That'll do nicely!

It's not really much different from having a nandroid backup though. I assume you're trying to mitigate issues by flashing mods and breaking the ROM? Because that is the only thing this helps with and no more so than a Nandroid backup would.
It will not reproduce the magical healing effects of flashing a stock image via fastboot.

I like to have an emergency backup in case my normal backup has problems. Lol

I f you want a 100% Stock ROM from the link before, take the Odex version.

Thank! Was looking for this also.
As a n00b, I wanted a copy also just in case.

will CM7 block Motorola Triumph OTA

hello, I'm considering putting CM 7 on wifes phone. MY does not have an "update"package which would receive an OTA. Will a custom ROM inhibit this rather remote possibility. I think if this phone ever gets an update it will be via a computer update program and not OTA.

Yes it will block ota's. It will never have 2.3 unless you put cm-7 on there it seems.

The CM 7 vs Stock ROM for activation.
The CM 7 ROMS do not do activation/ provisioning right? One has to go to Stock to do that?.
Thanks

You are correct. That's a good reason to always have a stock ROM (or backup) at least on standby if necessary.
I find stock ROM easy to backup and restore, the problem for me is the recovery. I'd like to be able to backup my recovery and make a flash able zip.just don't know how to.
Sent from my LG-VM670 using Tapatalk
You mean, the recovery you boot into? There should be no reason for you to change it very much.. Although didn't b_randon14 manage it? I don't think it's possible, as up until this point I've never seen a flashable Recovery.
I recommend miui for MT. It works really well. And lasts me about all day. I'm using the 10/28 update

Does anyone know if you flash this does it clear the entire memory or just the os partition. I have flashed many Roms before on other android devices but all those had an SD card and with the unlocking process I know the entire data was erased.

Ah OK I'll have a look into it tonight for you, its probably the updater script if you want you can try use the META folder from another ROM (nexus 7 ROM) and see if it flashes until I fix it later

It appears it not just your downloads I can't seem to flash any Roms. I tried to flash other ROM and it keeps giving me same error. It almost seems like it can find the zip files on SD card to flash and then it goes to flash and can no longer find the file. Anyone have any insight into this?
first off seems D/L is not working but I dint think there were so many issues with ROM. We definetly need a solid Stock ROM with ROOT (4.1.1), Hope its works when I flash
is this completely stock? no tablet UI dpi build.prop changes? (that's what i'm after)

[Q] Creating a flashable zip from factory image

Hello and thanks for taking the time to read my question. Recently the MicroUSB port on my Nexus 5 stopped functioning leaving me unable to flash the factory image to my phone.
I do have TWRP on my N5, so i was wondering if there was a way for me to create a flashable zip from the factory image so I can at least flash that via TWRP.
Thanks!

Thank you so very much.

[Q] I want to root, but...is it worth it?

I apologize for asking this question since there are several variants of it all over this forum. I just haven't quite found the answers I'm looking for.*
When you read this and respond, please keep in mind that I am a major noobie. Pretend you're talking to a child. **
My reason for wanting to root is to take advantage of certain apps like BoostVolume, AdAway and TitaniumBackup (can't remember the others I wanted...).
At this time, I don't want to install a custom ROM. I'm just not ready to take that chance.*
So...
Can I get some of the benefits of rooting without installing a custom recovery?*
* * *If so, what will I gain and lose by doing this?*
* * *Will I still get OTA updates? *Will an OTA update remove root access?
For some reason, I'm really stuck on continuing to get OTA updates...I guess I don't want the responsibility.
There are good threads for "major noobies" to read.
Start with the "read before you root" thread at the top of this q&a forum. Also, search general for "ota help-desk". There is a rooting thread stuck at the top of general too.
Please read those then let is know if you have any questions

Thanks so much! *I've been searching and reading all week, and I either found conflicting answers or unclear answers...frustrating.
I had read "Before you root" previously, but hadn't yet found the Beginner thread (top of General), which has been the most helpful.

Yeah, I'm not sure why I'm leery of flashing the updates. I guess I have to take it slowly and start with rooting (without custom recovery).
I don't think you can root without custom recovery. Don't worry about it. If anything goes wrong, which is very very unlikely, you can restore to stock in fastboot.
Sent from my Nexus 5
If you are going to root, I really suggest getting s custom recovery too. Then you can make a nandroid backup and generally undo most problems that may happen by returning to that "snapshot" of the os.
But using fast boot to restore a factory image will fix these too, with stock recovery, but will erase data.

You can root by booting into a custom recovery and then flashing supersu, fastboot boot recovery.img. You don't need to install one.

I had planned on using CF-auto-root, so I didn't need a custom recovery. I had based that on my fear of changing too much, but I also saw this, which I'm probably misunderstanding?
​From Chainfire: (I am personally moving away from custom kernels and recoveries, for various reasons).
The more I think I understand, the more confused I get. It seems I'm getting lost in the terminology. To completely understand my options, I need to back up and go through the definitions and CLI commands again. A lot of what you're saying is going over my head. I think I've read too much and some information just isn't sticking.

Don't worry. It's actually very easy. If you know about 2 fastboot commands you'll know just about anything you need to.
fastboot oem unlock, unlocks the bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img, puts a custom recovery on your phone

[Q]Does anyone have a CWM flashable 5.0.1 ota or stock ROM or know how I can make one

Title says it all. I really don't feel like running the stock img since I don't have my own PC right now. Please let me know. Thanks.

No. OTA no longer will apply if you have custom recovery.
Download an existing full stock flashable ROM.zip
That's what I was talking about. I can't seem to find a 5.0.1 full flashable zip anywhere.

Might need to wait a day or so...
Yeah just wait a few days. Some one will post up a stock rooted zip that you can probably flash over what you have now in a few days
