Has anyone got the knowledge/method to dump a 4.4.3 Moto G and make a flashable zip from it?
I guess it would be a case of:-
1. Someone running the upgrade
2. Performing a factory reset then DD'ing system (/dev/block/mmcblk0p34 ?)
3. Making a flashable zip by ???? (replacing .IMG file in an existing flashable zip maybe)
4. Profit
Heh, I thought people would be all over this.

If that's the firmware you need, just download it and put in a zip file.
right click on the folder then add to archive. use the compression method store.
That should work but do a backup before hand just in case.
I tried to zip it and rename it to update.zip and install it via cwm recovery but the recovery said that it failed on signature.. Something.,,

The file is already a zip file, it's just in the wrong compression method...
using winrar, open the zip file, then tools, then convert archive.
A box should appear, change the archive format to zip, and compression method to store.
Hi, isaias19, I also have a prototype o3d. I can not use it after rom(v10d, v10e) upgrade. If possible, could you post your v08 rom backup file using cmw?? Thanks.
@ modernbruce
we have the same problem , i did not backup my stock rom thats why iam searching for the v08 firmware. =C
Hi ,
For your case update.zip will not solve your problem.
you need dump your system and replace by another one:
To see your partition :
adb shell cat /proc/partitions
After try use these command to put your new system :

Note: OTA updates don't work on my Nexus 5 due to TWRP blocking them. Now my phone doesn't recognize the OTA update anymore (When my phone went to install the OTA updated and rebooted, it rebooted into TWRP instead and completely ignores the updates existence since then). To fix this I plan to simply push the factory img of 5.0.1 to my device directly. I downloaded the factory .img from Google's website .
However instead of a .img file i'm used to, I got a .tgz. I extracted that and got a .tar and then extracted that to finally get my folder with the .img files. However now I'm not sure which one to push to my device. There is a img file called "radio-hammerhead-m8974a-2.0.50.2.22.img" but judging by the file size, I don't think that's the correct one (only 45MB). There is a .zip file called "image-hammerhead-lrx22c.zip" but this contains multiple .img files, the largest one called "system.img". I'm guessing this is the correct one to push to my device via adb since it's about 1GB in size?
I suspect pushing the entire .zip file to my phone and flashing that would be bad as it looks like it'll overwrite TWRP?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here's a lot of useful information about OTA's Check it out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/info-nexus-5-ota-help-desk-t2523217
You'll need boot and system at least,
If you plan on keeping twrp and root, you may as well just flash one of the flashable zips already available in the development forum
Actually you should have a radio and bootloader img file. First one is - as the name says - the latest radio software (which is needed for GPS, WiFi, cellular network and so on). Second one is the latest bootloader. I'd update them both.
From the zip archive you should only flash certain imgs - if you flash all your data will be wiped (factory reset). What img files does the zip contain?
Why are you pushing them to your phone? You need to flash with fastboot from your computer. There is not just one img file for the update, there are several for different partitions on the phone. Have a look through some of the guides in the general section. Also, flashing one of the stock flashable zips would be much faster, but why not learn a little as you update.
Vomer has a thread of flashable 5.0 and 5.0.1 stock Google ROMs. Don't worry about factory images because you will lose everything once you flash these and it's a much bigger pain imo to back everything including internal on your phone up.

Not necessarily true.
You can flash bootloader, radio, and system without losing anything. You'll just have to reroot afterward.
Hello everyone:
I am new to XDA. Sorry if I post this to the wrong place.
I am trying to pack my custom boot.img into recovery flashable zip file but without luck. I have find several relevant posts online. (I can not post them here because this is my first post..)
It seems the general step is to: [1] find a stock boot zip file. [2] replace the boot.img with your own boot.img. [3] repackage it and flash.
My issue seems to be the re-package part. Because even if I only unzip the original stock_boot.zip and then immediately re-zip., it will not work (the original one works though).
The error message I got from the CWM recovery is:
Finding update package ...
Opening update package ...
Installing update ...
Installation aborted.
This is not very informative.
I wonder what is the right way to zip the boot.img into flashable zip file? I just compress the dir into a zip file. What is the problem?
By the way, although I believe it does not matter, but the device I am working with is Galaxy S5 G900H, rooted.
Thanks a lot!
Hi,
Someone can explain me how i make a Flashable zip out of the Stock Firmware I download from sammobile?
Thanks in advanced
Hi guys, i have a question...
Is possible create a custom rom (remove vendor apps) from XXXXXXXX.tar.md5 file downloaded from sammobile and make your own tar.md5 flasheable Odin file?
For example:
Original firmware:
XXXXXX.tar.md5
1.5 Gb
Removing vendor apps:
XXXXXX_my_firm.tar.md5
800 mb
I am interested in doing this without custom recovery, not zip flashable file, and not root.

Yes, you can do this, but things have changed a bit since this guide was written, you'll have to do some research to see what things have changed in this process from kit kat up to the current available android version. There have been some stock security changes that this guide doesn't cover and won't work with these new securities, but you should be able to figure out how to make this work with those securities if you learn to look in the right places.

This will help you create the .tar, you'll just have to figure out how to make the changes you want to make. You'll mostly be working with your system.img once you get it extracted.
