I was on a custom build of android 6 and had twrp and then I got an update and installed it. Now I have lost TWRP... Is that even possible? Also when in recovery it says can't mount sdcard!
Was it a custom ROM based on stock 6.0? If it is, it's possible that the update was pushed to the phone because Google sees the phone as running a stock ROM and only a stock recovery can install a stock recovery.
What I don't get is how and why users running custom roms receive and accept stock OTA notification updates.
If you had twrp installed, then the OTA would not install - it would fail.

So I bought Nexus S from second hand recently mostly because it will get official ICS support from Google.
So because it's second hand buy, I really don't know if I'm using original bootloader, kernel, radio etc.
It's rooted (because I have Superuser app), I think it has stock 2.3.6 android (build number GRK39F) and kernel version 2.6.35.7-gf5f63ef, [email protected]#1.
Can someone who use stock android and original kernels confrime to me that this is right version?
I really want to update to ICS using incremental update which I found here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445635) but I'm affraid to don't screw something because of bad experience when I radio bricked my desire
Can I update it to ICS or I need to do unroot or something?
Just download the correct stock ICS rom for your device (if it is I9020T or I9023) ,put it on the SD root and then flash it using the stock or CWM recovery and be done with it (if you need the ICS)
most likely you won't be update by OTA because you are rooted (system file verification will fail)
just download stock ICS ROM and flash it ...
Ota will install fine if its a stock rom with just root. The update script basically checks that everything that should be there is there . If there is something else in there like su it don't matter.
flashing a new rom is the best way to go if you have cwm installed already
I succesfuly flashed ICS and first impressions are very good.
But I think I lost recovery...

flash a CWM recovery via adb , or there is TWRP recovery in DEV section , which is very good .
Hi everyone,
I'm on custom recovery TWRP and everytime i download the OTA 1.2 and try to flash the tablet goes on the custom recovery but doen't flash the update.
Probably because of the custom recovery.
Is there any way to manually flash the 1.2 update?
Thanks
You can flash the stock recovery, ensure all the apps you've frozen are unfrozen (this mattered when the 1.1 incremental was released - checksum matches require all apps present in the previous build to be "visible"), and then apply the update.
Someone else may have a work-around.
There are no fully working custom recoveries for the Nvidia Shield Tablet so far. I would suggest staying on the Stock recovery until they are working correctly, just my opinion.
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.
Hi, today I received Marshmallow OTA update (13.0-ZNH0EAS2JK, not yet installed), this is a great news but I also get a popup window says :
WARNING : Update Cyanogen recovery is disabled. This may cause issues with updating your device.
Please enable Update Cyanogen recovery in Developer options
Ignore / OK
1. Should I ignore the message or I have to enable Update Cyanogen recovery?
2. Right now I use TWRP, will the cyanogen recovery override the TWRP or not?
3. Just to make sure, upgrading to Marshmallow doesn't delete data and apps, right?
Btw right now I'm on CM 12.1.1-YOG7DAS2K1 (Lollipop) rooted.
this will not affect the update but your device may well not allow the update unless you re-flash CM recovery first then after updating again re-flash TWRP
For ota you should be in stock recovery not in twrP and stock rom ,Enable update cm recovery in developer's options.no data loss .
So before installing update, I need to re-flash CM Recovery or just enable it from Developer Options?

Toggle on the "update cyanogen recovery" from Developer menu and flash the stock recovery.
You probably need to flash the stock ROM too which includes the stock recovery.
When i switched from cm12.1 with twrp to cm13, just flashing the stock recovery didnt work for me, I had to flash the stock cm12.1 ROM
COS 13 bacon signed zip for fastboot and twrp posted in oneplus forum

I flashed via twrp , working well.
I recently flashed the firmware N915GXXU1DPG2, installed twrp and rooted the device,
now out of the blue, I got a firmware update but I can't install it because of the custom recovery,
Is there a way to install this update with a custom recovery installed? trough an app maybe?
I searched around a bit but the only solution I found is starting from scratch, means flash the stock ROM
to get stock recovery....
