My transformer was rooted using the old method and I've installed Prime.
I have problems with the camera so want to flash blob v5
Can i just flash the blob file with cwm?
The instructions are quite involved but it looks like i dont need to do most of what it says.
I believe you can skip some steps 1-4 i believe since you are already rooted. Dont quote me though.
reading the FAQ would have answered this, just follow the blob flashing steps.
I don't see in the FAQ where it says if you can flash the blob using CWM.
I already knew about the ADB push method. My question was specifically about using CWM. It just uppacks and copies files (as root), like ADB doesn't it?
as it isn't stated there, and there isn't a zip file no.

Ah, the blob is not a zip file, gotcha! Thanks for the helpful response, I've learned something today
OK, I'll do it the ADB way, thanks!

if you really don't want to take the ADB route, MoDaCo's Hr4 custom ROM does include the blob and is flashable via CWM.

Now can we please close + move this thread, as it isn't really dev related.
Hi,
I'm still facing issues with CMW (all versions) regarding charging of my battery and no restart of the phone...
I would like to re-install stock EU recovery but how to extract the img file and from where?
Thanks!
Here you go, taken from the 1.35.401.1 RUU. It is NOT a flashable ZIP, it's just the recovery from the RUU

For my knowledge, could you explain how you proceed?
If you don't know what you're doing don't even think about trying to flash it. You need to learn the fastboot commands as you need to use ADB to flash it

I know how to flash it in command line, that's not the problem. I wanted just to know how you extract .img files from a RUU?
Forgive my ignorance, i've tried to do a few searches to answer my question but none have directly addressed it.
I recently rooted 2.20 successfully, installed CleanROM. If I want to flash a kernel, say cleanKERNEL, all I have to do is move the .zip onto the phone, boot into bootloader, and flash it that way? If I flash a kernel, will I loose all the customization I've done on the current ROM?
Any help would be appreciated.

I'm unclear on whether you can flash kernels with the new hboot in 2.20, but if you can, you flash it like anything else. It shouldn't affect the rom as long as they're compatible.

I was under the impression that you would have to use fastboot, not recovery.

Can someone give quick instructions on how to do it through fastboot? Or link me to a resouce that says how? I've searched a bit but can't find something that exactly answers my question. Any help would be appreciated.

if you flashed 2.20 at anytime you have to ALWAYS flash boot.img in fastboot

Right, I did do that. But now I'm trying to flash a kernel. I have the new CleanKERNEL zip file, but I'm not seeing a boot.img in the zip.So I keep looking for some sort of .img, flash it, move CleanKERNEL zip to my phone, then flash that?
Any help would be appreciated.
Oh right... It builds the boot.img on the fly when it is installed from recovery. I believe you need to try and flash the kernel zip file from recovery. It will fail since you have to 2.20 hboot, but it will create the boot.img in a temp dir somewhere on your phone, which you can copy to your pc and flash via fastboot.

So I have to copy the kernel to my phone, open up recovery, attempt to flash it, it will fail, open up my phone through windows, find the boot.img, manually flash it from fastboot, then go into recovery and flash the kernel??????

Yes, except for the very last step of re-flashing from recovery. I haven't personally tried this since I'm not on AT&T and can flash whatever from recovery, but I've seen this method discussed several times in the Blackout BeastMode custom kernel thread.

Looks like the people in the blackout beastmode thread already have a boot.img for them to use without looking for the one created in the temp file. Unless I can just use the boot.img from cleanROM which I'm already running? Or the kernel requires its on boot.img??

Hmmm... I thought Blackout BeastMode created boot.img on the fly. Perhaps not. The next thread I would direct you to is the CleanROM thread. Or you could try the BeastMode kernel haha. Sorry can't be more help. I just don't have any first-hand experience.
Has anyone else flashed CleanKernel on 2.20 AT&T device?
I am currently using a Verizon HTC M8, it's a long story but the store sent me a Verizon phone even though I ordered the factory unlocked version. My problem is that I am on a GSM network, and the Verizon version of the phone updates over the CDMA network. My phone is currently on the 1.12.605.11 software number and I heard that the software has been recently updated to 1.55.605.2
My question is that I would like to know if anyone has the update and a method to manually update? As I am not likely to be able to get the OTA update anytime soon.
Thank in advance!!!

I've manually patched the OTAs before but I found it easier to let the htc recovery to just update me. (Assuming you haven't changed a lot of stuff on the /system partition, root and xposed were the only two i changed on it)
This is assuming you have a custom recovery and are s-off (here is the gist of what i did, sorry its not very detailed)
Download the OTAPkg.zip
adb shell
su
cp /cache/fumo/OTAPkg.zip /sdcard/
adb pull /sdcard/OTAPkg.zip
extract firmware.zip from OTAPkg.zip
extract recovery.img from firmware.zip
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery.img
fastboot reboot
have the system do its OTA via settings menu
after its done all i had to do was re-flash TWRP, re-root, and install my xposed library again .. TADA!

I'm stupid and forgot I deleted a lot of the VZW bloat with Titanium Backup, which, of course, this OTA checks for said bloat before going on with the install. Guess I'll just learn to be patient, otherwise this would have worked easily.
:laugh:
What if i am not rooted? and i am not in the US? What should i do to get the update?
Shouldn't the command be fastboot flash recovery recovery.img ?
You should be able to flash the official OTA zip in the stock recovery. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2722817
hgoldner said:
Well, so there are already a few threads on this, if you just can't wait to toy with it, check this post out.
As for me, I figure there will be a flashable zip available within a few hours so I won't have to redo my xposed modules with all the reboots, regain extreme powersave (for which there is also arleady a fix); redo sweep to sleep, etc. etc. etc. On the other hand, knowing how impatient I can be, I know what I'll be doing tomorrow afternoon otherwise.

You need at least temp root be able to manually install the update, weaksauce works great for this. Once you have temp root you can download the OTA from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2722817 and then unzip and place the OTA.zip in /cache/fumo on your phone (I changed the permissions of the OTA.zip to allow read/write/execute as well). If you don't have a fumo folder in your cache create one and set the permissions to read/write/execute, for moving files and changing permissions I use root explorer.
Once you have the file in the correct location, flash the OTA through the stock recovery. That should be all, it worked for me...

Twrp will flash images however I believe it is only kernel(boot) and recovery images. Select install and bottom right is a images button. That will toggle between zip flash and image.
