I want to upgrade my G3 to the latest firmware but can't because I have TWRP installed instead of the stock recovery image. I should have backed this up using flashify before, but I forgot. If anyone could provide the proper .img I would be very grateful.

Hi folks! It has been a while since I have been on this forum; and I have a question about how to update from 4.1.2. to 4.2.2.
The process is not quite clear to me. Can I just download the Asus Firmware and flash through existing TWRP recovery (4.1.2 version)? Do I have to flash a kernel and new recovery using fastboot first? I see some step-by-step guides but also a view warnings. It is a littlebit vague to me what to do.Can anyone guide me through the process please?
I am on Hydro 7 but looking to update preferably to another custom 4.2.2. base rom. Tips are welcome
Best way is to download the firmware from asus website extract it (theres a zip inside the zip) and flash it with twrp, this will get rid of twrp so after the first boot find the approprate version of twrp and reflash it with fastboot, from there you can flash custom roms/ kernels at will
goodluck
I'm not sure if twrp will work. My upgrade path was to use fastboot the official zip from the Asus website, then fastboot twrp. Be careful which version of twrp you fastboot because it will cause a brick. I think twrp-2.5-4.2 should work for the US version for the official blob from the Asus website. For the WW version of the blob I used twrp version 2.4-4.2 successfully. Good luck!

Hi
I'm also still running 4.1.1 on my TF300TG (WW-version).
The bootloader is unlocked with the asus-tool, cwm-recovery (CWM-based recovery v6.0.1.3) flashed with fastboot and the system is rooted with supersu.
Now i want to update to 4.2.1 but it won't work. neither with the SOP for manual update nor from cwm-recovery.
From what i found it should work like this:
- download the 4.2.1 (10.6.2.6) rom file from the asus website
- extract the zip (once)
- open the second zip and open \META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script
- delete everything except "assert(package_extract_file("blob", "/tmp/blob"), write_raw_image("/tmp/blob", "staging"),delete("/tmp/blob"));
set_progress(1.000000);"
- save file and save the zip
- put zip on sdcard and install from cwm-recovery
can someone tell me, if this is correct? or if i should only flash the blob with fastboot?
any help is appreciated!
thx!
Hi All,
Background:
Installed TWRP recovery to downgrade to KitKat from Android ver 5.0.2 / COS 12.0 YNg1TAS17L
( I guess the changes in lollipop made me to do so).
But after installing TWRP, for some reason or other I did nothing and now the issue is the OTA are not getting installed. From other similar thread I know that we can download the OTA zip and install through TWRP and I am not looking to get into that...as I am giving this device to my family.
Help Required:
1) Is there a way to uninstall TWRP and go back to stock recovery without losing any data?
( Is it as simple as flashing recovery image from the Stock ROM?)
2) Using the OnePlus tool kit can we flash the stock ROM which will also restore the stock recovery?
(If so is it possible to flash the latest ROM 5.1.1 or CM12.1)
I just need guidance here with steps on what will be the best and safe approach without frying up my device.
Please suggest

Numerous other threads on the same subject... I don't understand why you are not ready to flash the OTA through TWRP but you are through stock recovery... It's the same thing... Don't use toolkit, they are the ones, in 99% of the cases, that "fry" your phone... As soon as TWRP is installed no OTA will automatically, you will have to flash them manually.
Evening everybody. I had to do a recovery to unbrick my phone and I am now on the above build. Now I cannot install a custom build Nouget ROM as it will not allow me. I have twrp installed and unlocked but will not let me install anything else. Can anyone help and advise what I can do to fix this please. Cheers Freddy
Chose one of the signed flashable zips from here : https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/mirrors-for-official-cyanogen-roms-ota-updates.141825/
These are stock ROMs
And just flash from twrp. Once you are done you are in a "stable condition" and you'll be able to flash whatever you want.
Hello All,
Ive searched the Honor 6x Forum and cant seem to find the US stock us recovery.img, Im trying to revert back to install the OTA update.
Can you help?
I think the stock recovery was included in the zip file download from this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ho...p3-0-2-emui-4-1-one-click-root-built-t3532737

On most android devices, you can't apply stock OTA updates on rooted devices or devices that have TWRP installed, stock updates require an unmodified system partition(meaning no root) and must have stock recovery because stock recovery is what actually flashes the update, TWRP cannot flash stock updates.
Do a Google search for:
"Return to stock (your model number)"
Or, you can try restoring a nandroid backup of your stock ROM if you ever created one in TWRP at any time before the update. Or you can try flashing a custom ROM for your specific device via TWRP.
