Great app but this isn't an official one.
The XDA thread has been closed and there's no update on Google Play for 2 months.
I don't know if jmz still has other projects... Flashify is also a great app to directly flash the img files without a PC.

I heard that
Code:
fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img
works pretty well...

No need to use Fastboot if you already have a recovery to flash with.

It doesn't hurt to know all the options and procedures. Actually OP would have already known this if he hadn't used a toolkit to root in the first place
-1 for toolkits
But yes, options are:
Fastboot flash img
recovery install zip
Flashify flash img

Thanks to all for the help suggestions , but yeah I used a tool kit which means I don't know how to do it manually that's why I asked for the easiest way to update .

It would be good to learn how to do it manually. It's really pretty easy. And you'll know your phone better and know how to do things yourself.

How to flash Asus 4.1.1 firmware

I am currently on Zeus 4.0 and do not quite understand how I can flash the firmware from the Asus site. Can I simply flash the file through TWRP?
Thanks in advance.

You can,but if you are still on 9.4.5.26 bootloader i would recommend you to use the NvFlash tool first (see the Development forum for nvflash).
Already done. Thought those files might come in handy one day.

You have to extract the zip ,it will result in another .zip wich you can use with TWRP.

[Q] GooManager

Is it possible to use goomanager to install TWRP after the device is rooted with cf root?

Yep. That's the easiest way to do it.

Yes, though having a Nexus device, it'd be good for you to learn fastboot/adb. Comes in handy.
Cool. Thanks guys. I guess is this correct?
1. Cf root
2. Goomanager for twrp
Twrp will stick right? I saw some people needing to flash like 6 times before twrp sticks.

As aznk3vi17 says, go the adb fastboot way. You'll be better off in the long run than using a bunch of easy tools. Sooner or later you're going to get yourself into trouble where they'll come in handy.

Yeah but when you download twrp the page go to 403 error.
Thanks guys. I guess I will do it via GooManager.

No you won't. The download page doesn't work.
I'll probably do it later then.
IIRC it's been like that for a week or more. Just do the ADB flash. Or use Flashify. That's just as easy as Goo.
Download the Flashify app, download the TWRP recovery img file to your phone and install with flashify from your phone.

Or just fastboot flash the recovery on. It takes 20 seconds tops.

Correct. As long as you have the img file and not zip.
You'll just go in to your downloads and tap it, install with flashify and you're done. Restart the device in fastboot mode and scroll to recovery to make sure it took.

Just don't use goo manager to flash roms. It's way too easy to find a rom that is not for your device and flash it. I'll use goo to put on the recovery and then remove it from my phone

It's possible but not likely. If anything it just won't over write the stock recovery.
when trying to install TWRP with goomanager says 403 error when downloading, why?

Use flashify. That's what I did.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
I don't know do that, how i can do that?I'm very new with Android
For some reason I can't get flashify to work. When I press on the IMG I want to flash it doesn't do anything.
But I also know how to use adb so it's not a huge issue.

Try this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2507672. I guess you have a defective search button
-Edit- Doesn`t boot sorry bro.
TWRP is reported to be working from here http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/hammerhead, choose the latest 2.6.3.2 version and flash in fastboot;
Or this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47108907

Urgent help!! Somehow unrooted?

Please I need your help. I booted into CWM and then rebooted from there. It then said fix permission so root will not be lost? I clicked yes and now when I booted I have no root. But my Google animation is unlocked. Please help, what have I done!
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
That prompt always screws things up, sometimes either if you press yes or no. Should stop using cwm really. Use Philz or TWRP.

You panic to fast which can make you make misstakes, read the first 4-5 threads in the General section well so you`ll know whats happening and for how to deal with and fix issues

Yes, zips go in recovery or with flashify and img files in fastboot or also flashify, no you don`t have to clear the cache.

I don't know from experience, but you're probably best off reading through the mod's thread and looking for compatibility issues. Most devs will write in the OP if there's a known issue, but you can't necessarily count on it. Best bet is always reading and/or searching.

Read the OP`s of the sound mod`s if they`re compatible with odexed stock, i think they are but better check it.
OK thanks. Instead of a zip would this work fine without bricking/bootloops

Stock recovery?

If I root (towel root) install custom recovery then unroot and factory reset will I have stock recovery back?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
no, factory resets only wipe your user data, they dont magically reinstall software. but you will after you.. a. flash the factory img, or b. flash the stock recovery via fastboot.
all info and guides are linked in my signature. Lots of reading but lots to learn.

You could extract the recovery.img from the stock rom and flash it
