Hi everyone. I saw that Google released the factory image for the Nexus 5. I read on a lot of posts that the XDA members usually release a zip file that you just flash on your Nexus 5 through the recovery and it will install the bootanimation and the rom for you. I have no idea where that is. I want the final version of Lollipop and I want to flash it, not wait for the OTA update. Is there already a zip file like this or do I have to wait for some more time? Thank you.
Thread below you lol
Most of the flashing is described by google themselves: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
But do read more about it elsewhere and don't forget to backup everything before you flash, if your bootloader is locked then unlocking it in order to flash the image will wipe your phone.

There's an OTA Zip over there on AndroidPolice.
You can also flash the Factory Image like most of us did.
It'll be like a brand new Nexus.

Ok so I have CWM recovery and I have the stock 4.4.4 rom with xposed framework installed. So can I just put the factory image on my nexus 5 and than go on CWM recovery and flash it?

Have you seen any of the other options?
Wugfresh Nexus Root Toolkit, contains options to restore completely to stock, flashing recoveries, boot images, you name it.
It's like an organized version for people who don't do fastboot command typings through CMD.
You could always flash the factory image yourself by Google Instructions, or download the OTA file on Android Police. The choice is yours. :/

Not exactly.
Download the factory image, and if you want to use Wugfresh, you go to restore to stock, select your own downloaded factory image, insert the MD5 from the Google Page, and it'll guide you through the rest. It's safer to wipe before doing this, but either way, it does it by itself.

Ok so I am going to make this clear so I can understand better and not mess up( because I tend to do that A LOT)
*Before I do anything I have to factory reset my device.*
1. Download the factory image from here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
2. Open WugFresh and click on the "Flash Stock + Unroot" option.
3. I do not understand the MD5 part.
4. WugFresh will guide me through the rest.
P.S: I do want to be rooted when on Lollipop so I can just root again after I install Lollipop right?

The MD5 part, next to the " Download " button on the Google page. You see MD5:yadayadayada. In Wugfresh, it'll need the MD5 to confirm the zip.
You can root by installing a custom recovery, flashing SuperSU and a modified kernel.

Ok thank you. I just have to factory reset my phone, flash stock and unroot, and insert the MD5. Once I get Lollipop installed, than I root.

I've been using my Moto G3 without problems, It's bootloader unlocked, rooted and with custom recovery; I have been read about hardbricks after updates and bootloops after OTA updates... so I have a question:
Is it possible to make a flasheable backup of my entire system so I can use it to rescue after any problem?
All that can help would be well received
If your system is working, just make a Backup via Twrp and place it on your pc or a sd card
so you can acces it even when you did a factory reset
(Edit: i know what you mean here is a link to do that, didn't test it but i think it will work)
(i recommend just flashing to factory firmware files)

I already have the TWRP backup, but I'm looking for a way to "fully backup" my phone and that can be flasheable via fastboot.exe in case of emergency ...

Hello!
A lot of us have already rooted our phone however when it comes to then updating firmware it can be a pain where you have to re-root your device and maybe lose your settings and data.
However, I found a way through Chainfire’s brilliant app FlashFire that it can be done without using TWRP, it maintains root and you don’t lose data.
Steps:
1. You need to find the firmware you want. You can either get it directly from www.sammobile.com or you can use this handy tool which downloads it a lot quicker:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647
2. You will need to download FlashFire from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/paid-software/flashfire-t3075433
3. Go to FlashFire and hit the plus symbol and then choose ‘Flash Firmware Package’. Then select your file you downloaded and flash away!
I have also found that if you root and just use Chainfire’s Autoroot only then you do not need to even install TWRP as FlashFire allows you to flash without wiping!
This is how I installed the xposed framework – did it through FlashFire and had not formatted my data through TWRP.
All thanks to Chainfire for these great programs.

Essentially yes with the advantage that you don't need to go into TWRP and you don't need to wipe data when rooting.
Also, it maintains root so you don't need to root again.

Hello, I'd like to try updating my S7 Edge.
I have downloaded the firmware from sammobile.com. I have also installed the FlashFire, selected "Flash Firmware Package" and choose the firmware zip (containing 5 md5 files). Once the check was done, I got this screen, yet I am confused if I should also mark the "Modem Firmware" as it is currently unchecked and says "protected partition".
Thank you for your help,

Yes I didn't add the modem in. It will work without.

Thank you. I did as you say. The process was ok with info everything proceeded and phone restarted ok.
Unfortunately when looking at the phone settings, nothing has changed (meaning the versions/numbers) even though I am 100% sure I have downloaded the latest update which was "at least" suppose to update the security to March (I am still on Feb one). Weird.

Hi,
TL-DR; I rooted my phone, and want to update with minimal loss of data.
Sorry for this newbie question but I really couldn't figure out everything and wanted to confirm before proceeding.
I have MHA-L29C185B138 and rooted step-by-step via the instructions on this link:
HOW TO ROOT YOUR MATE 9 with Decrypted Data in TWRP without needing a patched Boot.img
I want to update. What should I do? I isntalled Firmware Finder and downloaded MHA-L29C185B172 FULLOTA-MF. (downloaded all 3 files)
I couldn't find a complete tutorial for rooted roms. Read different and partial recommendations on different threads. Somewhere I read that I need to restore my boot and recovery partition before update. I backed my boot partition as it was a step in rooting guide but I didn't back up my recovery partition.
So could you please point me a beginner friendly guide that explains step by step updating rooted mate 9?
Thanks in advance.
I bump up this question as I'm interested in that answer also

Updating and keeping root is basically not possible, as far as I know.
Regardless of installation method, your phone will be re-locked and wiped when new firmware is installed on a rooted phone.
Same question from me as well. I rooted using the method in the link and I wanted to update to C185B172. No idea what's the safe proof way. As this is my daily driver and only phone I can't risk messing with it.

Whenever you update you have to start all over again with the same process you originally rooted with. Like @duraaraa said your bootloader gets locked back down and your recovery gets flashed to stock. So you have to unlock bootloader, then install TWRP, format your data so that you're unencrypted and flash the public then HW data files for the specific firmware you updated to. Basically follow the steps in the root method you initially used. This has to be done everytime

Yes sir. But remember if you're rooted with TWRP you will have to flash stock recovery first before you can even think about updating or taking an OTA otherwise it will fail.

Thanks for clarifying but the original question of OP hasn't been answered yet. Where to get the recovery.img from?
I downloaded the full package from firmware finder and extracted everything with 7zip, I found 2 different recovery files with same file size but different content in it.
recovery_a.img and recovery2_a.img
Which one should I use ?

Sorry about that, you want to use the RECOVERY.img not recovery2. You fastboot that img and you will have stick recovery, and it will place it in the correct spot so need to worry about where you would need to flash it to. Hope that helps

Guys. I have tried and failed. Which exact zip do I need? Because the fullOtamf with pv fails. Which twrp do i need exactly? Because the openkirin one says error.
I flashed official arise viper system and it flashed but didn't install anything, further more my camera isn't working at all maybe because of selinux permissive I think, but I changed that to endorcing also, no luck, so I just need to dirty flash stock rom to fix it.
I'm a newbie to Huawei phones so preferably links of what twrp n file version u guys use would be highly appreciated.
It's hard to believe none of the people who viewed the post have ever flashed a stock rom via twrp. No one?
I really need some help here guys. Any advice is appreciated.
If you really need to flash it via twrp you need to download huawei update extractor and use it to create a flashable zip but that takes really long and one small mistake will ruin the firmware or your phone so i would recommend you to flash the stock recovery, update and then root, put twrp back etc.

Ok so somehow pushing volume up at boot gets me into "Huawei E-recovrry" and it says 3 things only 1) download latest software and recovery, 2) restart 3) shutdown. If I click first option it says Note: user data will be wiped after recovery install :/
Is this the one ur talking about? Can I do it without data wipe in anyway?

You could try pressing the "download latest software and recovery" button but i dont think it will work. I would recommend you to flash the stock recovery via adb and/or fastboot (create backups of course) and then update via team mt's firmware finder. After its done, unlock the phone again and root it. I dont know if it will wipe data because you have twrp on your phone. (I dont think it will wipe data but i still recommend you to make backups) NEVER EXTRACT THE UPDATE.APP AND TRY TO INSTALL THE IMAGES. I DID IT AND I GOT IN ERROR MODE.

Damn! I can't believe it's such a complicated process! I miss my Nexus now lol, it was such a breeze to flash stuff on it..
So basically there's no "dirty flashing" the stock rom... I have to install the whole firmware like it's new and then do the entire process of unlocking bootloader(which wipes everything), rooting, getting twrp, n start as new since a backup flash via twrp of my current system after that would again reinstall the incompatible viper mod that has defected my camera right now... Sigh.
I wish Huawei made it easier for people to do these things for people who want to.
Thanks for all the help! :good: I really wish there was a better way than having to start as new.

Dload doesn't clear data at all. But those files should be flashed via dload but issue is when you unlock bootloader, it will reset again.
You can flash certain files via twrp but that is data zip and not main zip file. Let me know the version you want and will try my best to help buddy.
Please give Current build and model number and new build number you are trying.
You can just restore data and it will not restore your viper mod as that is going to system partition as you flashed zip. So restoring only data will not bring back the viper mod.

I didnt try any new build yet because I'm really new to all these softwares like FWfinder and the other ones, I downloaded them but couldn't understand much sadly.
so I just did ur dload method for b361 since that is the only one I found with fullota-mf-pv version.
Is there any new build for dload available? Because I don't know how to update :/ I'm sorry for all the noob requests, I used to be such a pro at nexus lol

Let me check this mate for you. Will take sometime as will be occupied most of the time today so may or may not able to provide. You can install main zip that will remove viper but it will relock bootloader so unlocking it will erase data. Best way i think of is-
Do full twrp backup
Copy the twrp to sd card or pc
Use dload
Unlock bootloader
Flash twrp
Root it
Restore backup only for data and it will not install viper.
Or
Do titanium backup of all the user app and data.
Copy to pc or sd card.
Use dload
Unlock bootloader, twrp and root.
Boot and restore titanium backup
I know these are tedious task but want to have your data intact while without messing up with the phone.
Let me know in case you need files to flash or can search..good luck.
