My brother has my old One SV which still has twrp on it. Is there any way we can install the ota through it? Don't have access to a computer at the moment

Technically yes, but it's a waste of time setting it up to do this because it will still flash the stock recovery. So, you may as well flash the stock recovery.
If the phone is rooted and S-Off then you can flash it from your phone without a PC.
Open up terminal emulator:
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p21
OR
Code:
cat /sdcard/recovery.img > /dev/block/mmcblk0p21

@Modding.MyMind Its fine if it flashes stock recovery. He doesn't care about modding and tweaking stuff I think

Would be much easier just to download the stock recovery to his phone and use one or the other commands I mentioned above to write it to his recovery partition. This way all he has to do is just accept the OTA.

It's the same as every other release.
- Flash custom recovery
- Use Custom recovery to flash SU binary
If your one click root script is automating that then it will continue to work without any issues. If it's not it's a fairly simple process...

It's irrelevant.
- Unlock the boot loader (fastboot oem unlock).
- You can now flash anything you want via fastboot (recovery, boot, userdata, etc). Flash a custom recovery (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img)
- Use said custom recovery to flash the su binary and chmod it appropriately
- Done
All the "One click root" scripts do is automate this process.
Unlike other Android devices the Nexus devices allow you to simply unlock the boot loader. You aren't relying on exploiting existing code on the device to gain elevated privileges in order to flash a new recovery/boot loader or place the su binary. Unlock the boot loader and do whatever the heck you want with it via fastboot - no update is going to break that.
Learn to USE your phone and do the manual root process. That way when you have an issue you will be familiar with the process of fixing your phone. Honestly it is the easiest phone to root.

after I flash CWM 6.0.1.2, if I reboot into recovery, the phone goes into Android system recovery. Why is that?
In order to go back to CWM Recovery, I have to go to ROM Manager, flash CWM 6.0.1.2 again, and then reboot into recovery. Once I am in CWM and need to exit (reboot), I get asked the following:
"ROM may flash stock recovery on boot. Fix?"
Yes - Disable recovery flash.
Should I click yes so the phone does not go into Android system recovery? there is a message that says this cannot be undone so I do not want to do something that may screw up my phone.
I am on stock but rooted, of course. Thanks.
Same thing happens to me. Even if I use twrp or cwm touch

As above, is there any good tips or useful tips that I should know before rooting and unlocking this device? I mean things such as not doing a factory reset in the bootloader as that can cause a brick

Is a good idea make a sticky thread where we can see what we should't do....to prevent brick the device while nvflash isn't available on jb bootloaders

Thank you.
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
From my recent experience with unlocking my Tf300T:
1. Read all directions slowly and multiple times.
2. Only method to flash TWRP was putting recovery.blob in C:\android\platform-tools no other method would work. All i would get was soft
brick. You don't need all the one step tools, videos. etc. While these might be helpful to some, once I put blob in correct folder and pushed via ADB it was simple.
3. Once you unlock you can not go back and you loose your warranty.
4. Root has to come in your ROM. Currently there is not root method for us.
Good luck and have fun. May I suggest Energy Rom. I love it.
+1 for TWRP.
CWM wouldn't work properly on my tab. It wouldn't flash zips or make backups properly. I'm not putting CWM down by any means because I use it on my phone and it works flawlessly. It just didn't work the way it should for me on my TF300T.
Thanks for the help but I thought you had to put TWRP.blob in the root of the SD card?
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
No you don't put it on SD card. It needs to go in the sdk platform tools folder on your c drive

You must.....
Unlock the bootloader
Reboot into the bootloader - power plus vol down
In the bootloader select the USB icon while having your tablet connected to a PC that can do adb
Flash twrp using fastboot per instructions on the twrp site.
You now have recovery for flashing other zip files, like the superuser zip to get root.

As long as you put the blob in the right folder and flash it correctly it should take you less than 5 min to get recovery. Then toy just have to wait until your first ROM is downloaded to flash it. Just follow directions on Twrp site. Quicker way to get cmd line in sdk-platform tools is, while in that file, right click on empty white space and hold ctrl. Will open adb in correct directory and make it stupid simple.

I found this:
You will need fastboot for this method. Download the above file, check the md5, rename to twrp.blob and put the file in the same directory as your fastboot.exe (unless you have /platform-tools in PATH then you can flash from anywhere). Turn off your device and boot to fastboot (power on while holding volume down, then select the usb icon and hit volume up to confirm). The device will now be in fastboot mode. Plug the device into your computer. Run the following command via the command line:
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery twrp.blob
Which does help but I'm not sure where on my PC I have to enter the command line?

open the terminal and go to fastboot file using cd command (windows)...exemple cd:\fastboot
when you are in that place run
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery twrp.blob
So do I just need to type those two commands on terminal? Is there anything else I need to download besides the TWRP file? I appreciate the help, thanks.

Fastboot was working because you were in bootloader. Adb requires you to be booted into a ROM with usb debugging turned on.

I am desperate for a twrp back up of the 4.2.2 I don't have my laptop for a while I can't do very much..I flashed a kernel for 4.2.2 when Iwas half a sleep I'm still on 4.1 ..tried to wipe and flash a kernel for 4.1 but now it boot loops on splash screen.if I flash a 4.2 kernel phone works.so if I had twrp back up I think id be good.

@shawn328
If you are still on 4.1.2 then flashing a 4.2.2 kernel makes no sense lol.
If you are still on 4.1.2 then use your 4.1.2 TWRP backup. Install 4.2.2 OTA afterwards.
If my instructions is a fail then your provided information is misleading
Sent from my K2_CL using Tapatalk
Yea actually it was misleading. I forgot to put that I had tooking out my sdcard for my wife to use in het digital camera and she lost it. I had to get a new sdcard. Lost my back ups and forgot to back up . So I broke the cardinal rule. Its an easy fix for me if I had access to a computer so I can fast boot. Downloaded a cwm back up extracted placed in a twrp back up folder I created by backing up the faulty rom. Didn't work. So I downloaded a flash image command which would allow me to flash a recovery image or boot image via terminal emulator. But te couldn't find it. Try to download a stock zip which had a stock boot image but the zip failed everytime.so I need a copy of someones twrp to fix rather it is 4.1 or 4.2 to fix. Can't ota until I have a computer because all recovery and system images I found are img format. So no stock recovery no stock boot equals no ota. Now I been s off before moon shine with supercid so I'm not a rookie. Even though not backing up was a rookie move and flashing the dream kernel was also.I was half asleep and forgot most variants are already running the 4.2 update. So unless someone knows of a way to flash img files directly from the phone itself. A twrp backup from one of fellow cricket users is the only I think I can go without a computer.

Fixed found a zip made by oldsplatterhand worked like a charm.

For future reference, if all else fails, you can always write the img straight to the partition while using terminal emulator using dd.
