Hey, my nexus 7 only boots in recovery mode to CWM, it has no ROM installed on it because I was trying to install a ROM from CWM and didn't back up my initial one (I'm a dingus, I know). Because the CWM version I have is 6.0.1.9., it won't install KitKat roms, since 6.0.4 or higher is needed.
How do I update my CWM from within recovery mode? I can sideload .zip files, but they give status 7 errors. Can I just sideload the CWM .img and have it work? Or do I need a different approach?
I am working with a Mac os X Yosemite and a Nexus 7 2012 WiFi.
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. First, I'd highly recommend you use twrp instead of cwm. There is very little support for cwm. Google nexus 7 teamwin. Flash the.img file in fastboot. Then boot into twrp, recovery, and flash your rom.

Then when i try to install Slimrom or CM installer to flash and install a new OS but i getting an error 7 - unverified file so i cannot put any Os back on the device
Can anyone help?
Sounds like you flashed the wrong recovery, possible that you installed the p3100 recovery.
Try reflashing the recovery.

Flashing KK ROMs on outdated recovery will get you a status 7 error. Grab the latest (I'd go with TWRP as CWM support will be ending soon) version from here...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2548257 update to the latest one you like (CWM is 6.0.5.0) Load up a ROM and give it a go. I put all my ROMs on an external card to be safe. Maybe do that and then just install from such.
p,s. CM installer never works, I dont think our tabs are compatible with it. At least I've never got it to work.But, you dont need it anyways.

TWRP is usually an image file to flashify or fastboot flash. Thread is in the Android Original Development forum.
There is also a thread that has flashable zips in. You can find that in Section 6 of the "guides and info threads" link in my signature
Downloaded, Flashed and working. Thanks
Hi guys & gals!
Quickly: I want to flash the official 5.1 image with TWRP. The reason is that my USB port doesn't work anymore (I'm charging with QI) so I'm not able to adb / fastboot.
Is it possible and if so how do I do it? I tried to "unzip" the tgz > tar until I had a zip with the official image available on google's page but TWRP kept telling something along "this image is not valid".
FYI I'm currently on cyanogenmod 12.
Thanks in advance!
You can't flash the factory image in twrp. There should be a flashable zip of stock 5.1 floating around here that you can flash in twrp though.

You can only flash boot and recovery img's in twrp. Just download a stock flashable zip

Hi, my note 3 has no os installed and I already tried flashing roms but it didnt work, neither did the stock rom. It has twrp installed on it. All caches are deleted and the only thing on it is twrp. How can I fix this?
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. Probably the easiest thing to do is flash the stock firmware with Odin. Alternatively you could adb push a Rom zip to your phone and flash that with twrp. Odin will return your device to stock and you'll have to root again and put twrp back on. It also will wipe your device. See if someone here can help further, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3

Did you check to see if your bootloader is unlocked before you flashed TWRP. If your bootloader is locked it won't let you flash anything that isn't stock.
Flash your stock recovery back on the device and then check status of bootloader, if its locked, find the unlock method if one exists for your model and firmware build number. If you can unlock then you can flash TWRP.
Bt I flashed many rom, many times....I think bootloader is open

Use TWRP Manager from Playstore to flash your recovery again.
For future reference, TWRP will flash .zip and .img files, next time you can flash the TWRP update in TWRP instead of using an app. After flashing the updated TWRP you go back yo main menu and select Reboot and then select reboot recovery, it will boot reboot into the updated recovery.
Yaa 1stly I try with TWRP manager bt my phone is not listed there
And what is the easiest way to get recovery back

I think its a lollipop thing...
Actually most of the .img files can't be flashed in lollipop or MM wid any app
Either use another recovery to flash a recovery zip or with PC
Should I use sp flash tools..to go back to stock rom...?
