Does anybody have a recovery image or zip of Android 5?
I seem to be having problems flashing via adb. I have previously flashed the factory img file but can't seem to get things working any more and flashing zips is much quicker/simpler anyway.
Re-installed Android SDK and not fastboot etc work.

Dear all,
I want to upgrade my Nexus S from CyanogenMod-7.1.0-NS to the latest cm-10.0.0.-crespo.zip. I have ROM Manager v5.0.2.4 installed.
It is the first upgrade since I installed CyanogenMod originally, please bear with me. ROM Mgr says I have CW Recovery 6.0.1.0 installed,
but starting into fastboot, the CW Recovery image is not found. Therefore I also cannot make backups.
Q1: I do not understand where did the Recovery img go? I never changed anything. I did 2-3 backups in the past, nothing else.
I thought that ROM Manager is EXACTLY there to help doing all this, managing the different ROMs (recovery and others), backups, etc.
What am I missing here?
Q2: If someone could explain, what is going on and how I get a working CW Recovery running to do a full backup before upgrading,
I would be very happy... Q3: I hope I do not have to go through the whole SDK installation thing again!?
Thanks a lot!

I am not sure what is happening with ROM Manager, Hopefully somebody else can throw some light on that.
In regards to installing CWM 6.0.1.0, try flashing the img file through fastboot using fastboot command, flash recovery recovery.img where the"recovery.img" will be your file name.
Once installed then you can do your backup and the installing of new ROM's without any issues.

Thanks! Q1: To use fastboot I need to establish the whols Android SDK environment on the PC again, right? Q2: Or can I just copy the recovery img to the device and start it somehow via fastboot mode? I really would prefer not to set up the whole SDK environment again just to do a backup.
Q3: Anyone can shed some light on why ROM Manager is not working as expected?
Alternative: I made a manual backup by copying all files from the device to the PC. I know I am missing all the apps this way. Q4: What else is not covered by this backup method?
Thanks a lot for your help!

You will need the SDK tools directory to do the flash using fastboot.
With regards to backing up your apps, just use Titanium Backup.
I have a N5 rooted and with custom recovery.
I plan to install the factory image via fastboot.
I don't want to lose my userdata, so I plan to extract the different .img files and flash them one by one (except userdata.img)
Can I not flash recovery.img so I can keep my custom recovery?
What are the .img files that I must flash for keeping my files, settings and my custom recovery?
Thank you on advance. You are the best!
I flashed the system and boot img's
Then booted into recovery and wiped caches
Then flashed the modified kernel for root and supersu 2.19 before booting and I've kept data and recovery fine

Do I need other kernel for being able to root? I was only thinking of installing superSu for getting my root back.
Then, the only .img that I need to flash are the system.img and the boot.img. Am I right?
Thank You!
You need the other kernel, cf-autoroot does this for you.
I have a one plus one that is rooted and twrp v2.8.5.1 installed
In about phone it says I'm running 12.1-YOG4PAS1NO
The phone started telling me I have a system upgrade
I have been round the install update booting to twrp path twice
So I downloaded the .....1NO to ...2QL ota
Boot into TWRP and try to install the zip file and it says it can't do it as this device has one plus/bacon/A0001.44.2/KVT49L/XNPH2SR: User/release keys
What can I do?

I've come across this today (my OPO was rooted and I had TWRP installed), I was able to install the OTA via returning the OPO back to an unrooted stock build. You can easily do this via getting the 'Fastboot' zipped version of your current .....1NO build.
Once you have this, you only need to fastboot flash the following: - boot.img, recovery.img and system.img
After flashing just these three images, yes you'll loose root but you'll be able to OTA update to the ......2QL build via the normal phone method - hten if you want, you could then reflash a TWRP recovery and re-install a supersu.zip
One thing I forgot to add, which maybe helpful to others as it took me a moment to realise, both boot.img and recovery.img flash without issue, but due to it's size to flash the large system.img you'll probably need to brake it down into flashable chunks, notice the change in fastboot commands: -
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot -S 512M flash system system.img

OTAs can only be flashed through stock recovery..applicable to all devices
Hello,
on the same subject, I am looking for explanations on how to create twrp flashable files for ota updates. Do you know where I could find any resources?
Thx
I had the same issue while installing the incremental update (I got root and TWRP); I solved it simply installing the signed zip of ...2QL version which was pulled out yesterday afternoon. My only concern was about root that could be wipe away with the new installation, so I directly installed SuperSU via zip. Everything works fine till now

Hello,
I tried to flash TWRP, and selected the Huawei image closest to the GX1S (SC-UL10) (Ascend Mate 2), and flashed this to recovery. I probably shouldn't have done this...
I am now stuck in fastboot. Though fastboot itself works fine.
I am unable to get into recovery
I am unable to boot the phone
I am unable to use ADB
I have tried flashing other twrp or cwm recovery images to recovery without success (the flash succeeds, but still unable to get it to recovery or boot)
I have downloaded what I believe to be the official firmware from Huawei
Forced Upgrade (by putting update.App into dload folder on SD card) did nothing (Does it need working Recovery for this to work?)
I tried various Huawei extract tools and perl scripts to extract stock recovery.img, but none work on this update.App file (It seems not to follow the structure these scripts expect)
My theory at this point is:
If i can flash a working stock or modified recovery, I can then use the force update method to get it working
There should be a stock recovery.img inside the update.app, though i seem unable to extract this using available tools
I have been unable to find a cwm or twrp recovery for this phone (SC-UL10)
I am hoping that someone might point me in the right direction to find a working stock recovery.img, or a working custom one. Or any other ideas that might help me get the phone running again.
Thanks!
Hello I've haven't done any rooting or roms since the samsung s3 days. I was attempting to root my google pixel and when I wiped the phone in the TWRP recovery I made the mistake of ticking every box meaning the phone now has no os on it at all. I tried installing a factory rom from googles site but I only get an error saying the zip is an invalid file type.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I think,,,and I am not sure but if you wiped everything you will have to fastboot flash stock image then re-install TWRP and go from there.
Unzip the factory ROM zip on your computer, have the latest drivers and ADB/Fastboot installed/downloaded from Google's site, connect the phone in whichever mode it has to be in (Bootloader?) I forget but the information is plenty available in various threads here, there are only a couple of options anyway, then run the Flash-All.bat or .sh, depending on what OS you're running (Windows, Linux/Mac?).
If you can connect via MTP while in TWRP (if that's not wiped as well, or if you did if you haven't booted out of TWRP), then maybe you can copy the files over to flash a ROM and vendor image, and TWRP RC1 too so you can flash it again, although I would opt for starting back from scratch with the fully stock ROM/firmware flashed from a PC myself.
Flash the factory image and remain stock until you learn how to use recovery/restore a phone.

Run flash all from PC to get back to stock. Then do a lot of reading.
