If is possible, how? i remember flipfont for my old nokia
I don't think so, pretty sure u need to add the font to system in order for it to be seen and without root u can't gain access to system files

Using a custom recovery to flash zip font packages would bypass android altogether.

This is true, I guess u could also manually add the font using twrp and the included file manager, u would have to set permissions as well but it would work, didn't think about that, but again, that's assuming he's rooted or at the very least has an unlocked bootloader so he can flash the recovery

Yep. Well, he should just need to boot twrp, don't think there's a need to flash it.

Well if he currently doesn't have twrp installed he's going to have to flash twrp first, and the only way to do that if he isn't rooted already is by using fastboot or a Toolkit of some kind, its a very simple process just:
fastboot flash recovery "recovery.img"
And done

All fastboot boot will do is boot the stock recovery unless he's previously flashed twrp/cwm, if he's never installed a custom recovery, the "fastboot boot recovery" is useless

I meant not being able to "fastboot boot (custom recovery)"
I do it all the time on many devices, so was curious why you mentioned it would boot stock recovery. Always boots twrp when I use it, but I have never tried it on M so was wondering if something changed.

Oh no I was only saying that if he had never installed twrp on the device the fastboot boot recovery command would only boot the stock recovery. If twrp was installed prior tho it would boot twrp like u said

Mate, let's clear this up:
EVEN if you don't have TWRP installed, and you do 'fastboot boot <twrp-2.x.x.x.img', the device WILL boot into TWRP, WITHOUT flashing.

Twrp still needs to be on the device in order to boot it, u don't necessarily need to flash it, but if twrp is not on the device, how can it boot twrp? I've never booted it without flashing it, so I may be wrong, but I don't see how u could boot an image that's not there lol

What I'm saying is if twrp has never been on the device to begin with, fastboot can not boot an image that was never there, it can't be cached to memory if it was never in memory, the only way I could see to do this would be to do
fastboot flash recovery "twrp.img"

It is booted via fastboot from you computer. I have done this a bunch of times on devices that have never and still don't have twrp. Download a recovery you have never used onto your pc and try.

Hello,
My nexus 5 is currently stuck in a bootloop and TWR is asking for a password to decrypt my data and wipe cache/dalvik. Is there anything i can do to get it out of the loop or is my phone dead?
Thanks for reading, any advice is greatly appreciated.
Does your computer recognizing your device? Can you go into bootloader,if yes,try to go back to stock rom,and flash stock recovery.

Hello guys,
I've been looking around for CM11 for my HTC One X+.
Now I've found the original CM11 on their website for HOX+, but there is one little question I got about this.
http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=enrc2b
That's the link where I've found it by the way.
There is no boot.img download, how safe is it to just install the ROM? In my opinion it isn't.
So let me know what you guys think.

Its on the official website, and It should work. Make a backup though.
The boot.img download isn't there because the boot.img is probably inside the .zip.
So open the zip and you'll have your boot.img.

Oh okay, you will need to flash the boot.img alone then as flashing the ROM zip won't just work. So boot into bootloader, and flash the new boot.img you had extracted from the .zip
Once yo uhave flashed the .img boot into recovery mode and perform a gull wipe, including cache. Once done simply flash the zip and reboot.
First reboot takes a bit so be patient. I also recommend you getting a band backup in case.

If you're coming from a Sense ROM you can't just flash the zip without flashing the boot.img. It wouldn't even boot. And sometimes it boots but without mobile signal or WiFi signal.
So just place the zip on your sdcard, take the boot.img out of the zip on your computer.. Then boot into bootloader and connect it to the computer using USB then type
"fastboot flash boot boot.img"
Then "fastboot erase cache"
(you must have fastboot installed and configured on your computer)
Then boot into recovery and flash the zip file and gapps. Oh don't forget a wipe is mandatory if you're coming from sense ROM. But if you're coming from an AOSP ROM it's recommended but you can go without wiping. I flashed cyanogen over paranoid android without wiping data and had no issues at all. But I wiped the system partition.
And you cannot S-OFF an HTC One X+.. If it's S-ON then it stays that way. Only a few amount of people have S-OFF on their HOX+.
Oh and I don't think TWRP recovery is compatible with CM11 on HOX+.. So I recommend you flash philz recovery. Flash it by using the fastboot command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
(recovery.img should be replaced with the name of the recovery you downloaded)
It doesn't take a lot of time. I change ROMs almost every week.
Please press the thanks button if I helped!

Yesterday I managed to press install on the newest update, 4.4.4 on my Nexus 5. It was rooted and still is, but by installing this OTA it somehow made it crash. Now that I try to get into recovery mode I just get the android which is dead with an ! on it. It was rooted with Xposed and TWRP.
What do I do? Im on a Mac
OTA removed root replaces recovery. I'm amazed it managed to replace recovery whilst Xposed was installed. Anyway, seems like it did.
You must fastboot flash a custom recovery

Hi all,
I have a Nexus 5 that I'm trying to return to stock. I'd like to keep the bootloader unlocked, however. If I follow the instructions here (minus the bootloader lock part): https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images will I be all good to go with a completely wiped, good-as-new phone? Also, will this overwrite TWRP, which I currently have on the phone?
If you follow the instructions and flash everything, yes it'll go back to stock and replace twrp with stock recovery as well
If you flash the img files individually, you don't have to flash the recovery img if you want to keep twrp tho

If you're flashing stock, remember there's a built-in behaviour that checks for stock recovery: if it's not there, it will overwrite whatever is there (twrp, in this case) with stock recovery, on every reboot.
You'll need to take care of this if you want a stock+twrp permanent combo.

Fastboot the img file of twrp then boot into recovery from the bootloader

Got the same problem - I flash the TWRP image with fastboot successfully but when I try to enter recovery, it either reboots or shows me the stock recovery. I'm on stog Android 6, trying to flash a different rom and kernel...
we are on the same boat @granets . when i boot to custom recovery it just boots directly to homescreen.
Have you tried the other kernel i linked above?

Left the boat earlier by downloading TWRP again (for a third time!!!) and it worked fine. Guess when downloading from their site, there is a high percent chance you will get a corrupted file. So far around 50% of all images I download don't work, and every time the problem is different. Maybe try that
