i flashed the new OTA using twrp.. then i flashed twrp again using fastboot... then i flashed the supersu.1.80 zip.. in twrp...

This is a Nexus, anything is possible.

So I manually flashed all the img files from the 4.4 file, including the userdata one. however I wasn't able to get to the recovery mode screen by presing power + up button so I was stuck on the android exclamation mark and couldn't erase data. When I restarted the phone everything is back to stock BUT I have no signal it seems the radio is broken. wifi is ok. Can anybody help please?

[Q] Help with CWM in Nexus s

Hi, sorry for my english...
This is my story...
Yesterday I rooted my NS (9020a) and try to update with the ICS stock rom... something goes wrong, because the signal was lost... then I learn how to flash a radio in the bootloader, and I did it and now it works just fine.
But in this process, I flash via img de CWM, but now when I go to the Recovery, I still see the stock one, and I want to know: how can I unnistall the CWM or how I can see wich one I have in my phone...
Because, when the OTA coming to my model, I want it.
The OTA wipe the recovery and overwrite it with a stock recovery at each boot.
If you are on stock 2.3.6 now, you will receive the OTA eventually.
Ok, but now I have ICS and I wan to know if I have the stock recovery or CWM...
Because I flashed it yesterday...

If you boot holding VOL + then go to recovery and you see the Android robot with a ! in a triangle, then you have the stock recovery.
Ok, I have the dead Android...
Thanks...
And, one more question... I need to lock the booloader in order to receive the OTA??

No, you don't need to lock the bootloader. You can even have root.
Edit: Does it look like this?

Data Management Icon

I got the Data Management Icon on the upper right hand side of my phone. when i pull down the pull bar it says downloading. does this mean its downloading ICS?? I live in the Northeast USA. BTW i was on leaked ICS and then Downgraded to GB.
I got the same update request but I dont want to click on it because I dont know what it is HAHA
I had the same notification this morning, but I'm on a custom ROM. Interesting.
I've got the same but can't apply the update because I have Cwm recovery installed (I'm still on stock rom though) can anyone tell me how to return to stock recovery?
I will hopefully have an answer in a couple of. minutes.....downloading on the wifes skyrocket now, its not rooted
Same thing showed up on my phone this morning.

You need to get a copy of the stock recovery.img. Then place the image in the root of your /sdcard. Reboot to CWM recovery. Connect your PC to your phone.
1. Mount emmc in cwm recovery
2. adb shell
3. su. Don't need root here but can't remember since it has been awhile.
4. dd if=/emmc/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22
5. Exit, exit
6. Reboot system

[Q] How do I re-root after un-rooting?

Hi,
A few months back, I unrooted my NS4G in order update to the official ICS release. Initially, I was content with the official ICS on my phone, however, I've come to miss the fun mods and features that are available with custom ROMs. Now, I can't seem to re-root my phone.
The bootloader is still unlocked so I tried going into recovery like old times but received a blank screen with an image of the android bot face down with its back door open and an exclamation point (pictured below).
Please help. Although I've rooted a few phones, including this one, I still feel like a rookie and may be missing something very simple.
Thanks!!!

You need to snag a custom recovery and get the current superuser. After that, you will need to make sure you either edit the script or delete the script in the system so it doesn't overwrit CWM.
Recovery fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27027436&postcount=8
Superuser:http://downloads.noshufou.netdna-cdn.com/superuser/Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip
CWM
The recovery needs to be pushed while in the bootloader via fastboot
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-crespo4g.img
Recovery first, superuser flash 2nd, fix the recovery last once you've fully booted up.
When the faced down android appears , try pressing volume up button once . Helped me one time.

So how about an update? How are you going with it?
I have had intermittent problems in the past similar to yours, and I was able to solve it - where are you up to?
You should go into a command prompt on your computer then do a fastboot oem lock then unlock. (This will erase all data)
Tell me if this works
Screenshot shows the phone is already unlocked-

[Solved] Stock firmware?

Hi. Anyone seen this firmware around for download? PSA29.97-37.
I wanna attempt to unlock bootloader and root it, but I want the stock boot.img as a backup in case magisk would cause bootloop or something like that.

Unfortunatly no :/ But I haven't tried that much yet.
fastboot flash magisk patched boot.img ended up in some error about too many links.
fastboot boot test build of twrp ended up in validiation error so I guess I'll have to try flash vbmeta.img with --disable-verity and --disable-verification, and see if I can get slot still bootable, and then try everything again.

Question Pixel 6A bricked after last OTA update (5th may)

Hello,
I was running Android 13 stock image (I think it was the february or march build) + rooted with magisk method explained here
I upgraded to last version. Everything was fine after upgrade, the phone booted normally. So I downloaded stock boot image and patched it with Magisk. After flashing it with fastboot, the phone is stuck at Google logo.
I tried to install last Magisk APK on another phone and to patch again the boot.img, same result.
I tried to flash the stock boot.img, I have a message "Your device is corrupt".
What can I do ? I wish I don't have to wipe !!
I hope so much someone can help me.
Thank you for your help

Start with reflashing the factory image. Worst case youll need to do a factory reset, but I doubt that will be necessary.
