No. You can't flash system.img file via flashify. It has to be done via fastboot.

So there isn't any way to flash system image directly from the phone ??

No my man.
Why do you want to flash the system.img via phone? If you're looking to get to stock /system without a computer, then you can download vomer's stock 4.4.4 rom and dirty flash it!

No, since it's mounted and the OS is running on it.

If it has been converted to a zip you can flash it. Which system image are you trying to flash?

Dude, you don't know what you're talking about and giving bad information. You can't change the system if you're booted into it. See the post above yours.

ERROR 7

Hi.
I have problem ERROR 7. I try flash some ROMS, and last flash crashed and write ERROR 7. I found some solutions, but every time you need copy some files to memory on phome. BUT.. my System doesnt start, then I have no chance to copy files to phone. When system start, every time go to recovery
How can i fix it?
PLS help Mi..
THX..
If I'm right, error 7 is an issue with the updater-script. Try redownloading the ROM, because it could be a bad download, but if it still doesn't work, switch recoveries

If you were trying to flash KitKat without CWM 6.0.4.3 or a wrong ROM for your phone you'll get this message.. It is generally due to the updater script..
What phone do you have, and what rom were you installing?

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...

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.

Yeh! Someone else from Southport!
Do the above. Just go into recovery and wipe system and flash 4.4, check its the full rom and not just the update. If it is get a full rom first.
Please fix the F/C on this application. Thx.

Because you don't need the app and I've seen people brick their device using it.
OK. I remember running the app and it asked for busybox, should I install it first?

1. Download TWRP latest image which is 2.7.1.1 right now.
2. Place in same directory as fastboot
3. Fastboot Flash recovery nameoffile.IMG

If you install fastboot correctly you don't need to put recovery in same directory.

Haha yeah I don't have my Linux rig running well so I downloaded the SDK yesterday on Windows and had to settle for a half-install haha.
I like the 15 second installer for windows. Pretty good. Does all the environment variables for you too. Can get to it via my signature.

He doesn't need to do that. Only people who didn't install fastboot correctly need to do that. He used the installer so the variables are present. He doesn't need to cd to the directory fastboot is in OR put anything he wants to flash in that directory.

Right.
The only thing I did was: in the folder where I had the .img I shift+right click and clicked open command line here, from here I just imputed the text on the cmd.
Did I needed to do that or is it not needed for me?

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.
