Hi, now i know, that rooted devices (like mine) can't be updated via OTA, so i downloaded custom recovery. I flashed the .zip with update and my M2 just rebooted. It happens with TWRP, Rashr and Flashify. Is there any other ways to flash .zip's?

Hi All,
I just updated my N4 and N5 to lollipop via fastboot. I fastboot flash recovery then go into CWM 6.0.4.5 and sideload SuperSU 1.94. All seems fine at this point. I can reboot to the bootloader from CWM and go back to CWM ok. However, if I boot the system normally, both CWM and root are lost. Not sure if I'm missing something? It's been awhile since I've done anything with these devices, but they were previously running kitkat with CWM and rooted without issue. Thanks, Thomas.

Outdated recovery and root.
New way to root N5 is Chainfire autoroot. Use that. It patches the kernel and injects SuperSU.
Background, I downgraded my firmware to 23.0.a.2.93, rooted with locked bootloader using giefroot v3, then installed NUT's Z3-lockeddualrecovery2.8.3-RELEASE.installer, after which I flashed 5.0.2 to preserve root.
Now my phone refuses to boot into TWRP (skips it altogether, I've tried booting into recovery from app like Flashify, TWRP manager and also using adb command). Phone restarts, but never boots into recovery, and goes straight to the android system. I know I have it installed because TWRP manager shows that it is installed, but when I try to flash a .zip file phone just restarts and nothing happens. I wanted to flash xposed's .zip file, otherwise it won't work.
So my question is, what could be the problem? I reinstalled NUT's dualrecovery several times, still no results.
Seriously, have you been on another planet lately? Sorry for sounding a bit harsh.
It's a known issue that Dual recovery isn't still available for Lollipop.
First and foremost I'm running an unlocked Boot Loader. My phone is running Android 4.1.2 (Baseband VRBMF1) and stock kernel.
Awhile ago I unlocked my phone (Using EZ Unlock 1.2) and installed Clockwork recovery (EZ Recovery).
I'm trying to install some newer ROMs and most of them require TWRP. I downloaded TWRP and flashed it through ODIN.
When I rebooted TWRP won't mount any partition and it shows internal memory as 0MB.
I booted back into Android (yes it still booted) and installed CWM using ROM Manager. Now the interesting thing is, in ROM Manager under "Recovery Already Installed" it lists both CWM and TWRP as options.
I rebooted into CWM and it navigates my SD Card no issue. I rebooted in to Android and downloaded TWRP and uninstalled ROM manager. I flashed an older version of TWRP (2.7) and rebooted into recovery. Same issue. Won't mount partitions and can't navigate files.
Reboot into OS and go into TWRP Manager. TWRP Manager actually shows CWM as the recovery installed.
So by all accounts (according to Rom Manager and TWRP Manager) I have 2 recoveries installed. ROM Manager shows both installed and TWRP Manager shows CWM installed while I'm able to boot into TWRP.
TWRP is for all intents and purposes useless. CWM works normally.
TWRP - 2.8.0.1
CWM - 6.0.4.5

Yes...exact same situation as me. I like 4.1.2....really hope dees can help us. I'd do it if I knew how. Lol
I said it in another thread but the issue appears to be related to the kernel for the recovery not being able to read the eMMC chip.

I recently installed TWRP Manager (from Google Play) on my StraightTalk Galaxy S3. Using that app, I installed TWRP v2.8.7.0 (twrp-2.8.7.0-d2vzw.img), which is for the Verizon Galaxy S3. It now mounts the partitions correctly. You might try that and see if it works for you.
I have samsumg galaxy S6. Today G920F 6.0.1 I downloaded a stock ROM from Sammobile for G920F 6.0.1 it loads fine flashes fine, But at first when I flashed TWRP it wouldn;t boot into recovery. Then it wouldn't even boot normally it just sits at the first samsung logo until I reflash my ROM via Odin, so I searched a bit and found a thread that said to install UniKernal for it to work, so I did now TWRP loads up but my system won't boot up normally. SO I can't get onto my system normally
EDIT: I managed to get it to work, I flashed Magisk, Systelmess xposed 86.4 and supersu rebooted, systemless said it was installed went to check supersu and it wouldnt load so i reflashed it and now xposed says ther eis no framework installed, so i reflashed that and Xposed does not detect it.
Can someone please help me I have searched on here and google and cant find any options that fixes my problem. My phone has been broken for over 24 hours now

Lol. I always thought samfirm meant sammobile firmware section. Where do I get that program? Is it used to flash firmware? Looks nice.
I have two devices where install TWRP dont work.
They are unlocked and i try many times to flash it via fastboot but booting into recovery ends in stock recovery.
Is there any solution to install TWRP or lineageos another way?
it was the issue that recovery is overwritten on stock rom start if the system has ever made an update
