i had bricked my touch pro2 verizon with a wrong gsm hspl tool and revived it with a riffbox installing a custom rom but when trying to get back to a stock rom or even when trying to make a hardreset my phone get into boot mode and blink with no image file for one second then back to the boot image again and stuck there. trying to flash a stock rom it freeze at 0% and then the error 226 flash write .
i though if i can get the ruu_signed.nbh for the last MR3 update i may get back the right image to the phone
i searched so long and found the right radio version which is 2.37wv and successfully flashed it to my mobile
can you please help me with nbh file? the exact rom name is
RUU_Rhodium_W_S2_VERIZON_WWE_4.01.605.15_RS_2.37.00WV_NV_VZW_2.08_0105_PRL58005_Ship.exe
and i can't get the nbh image out of that or may not have the right tools or instructions
waiting your help
UPDATE: i manged to get the nbh file but same error .. stuck at 0% then bring the flash write error 226
Just use winrar to extract the .nbh from the .exe. Just a note the stock .nbh includes the radio 2.37
yes i managed that but still can't flash the nbh file ... the same flash write error 226

All the forums that I could find are talking about updating from a stock rom to the ODEX rom. I am wondering if i need to update my bootloader if i am upgrading to the asus rom.
I have TWRP 2.4.1.0 and i am on the ASUS stock ics update 30. I have downloaded the ASUS stock firmware V10.6.1.14.8 which stores the 4.2.1 rom. If i do a wipe on everything from TWRP then mount and install the rom from an external sd card, will I brick my device without doing the same bootloader update that is done for the ODEX rom. Correct me if I am wrong but I believe that the firmware package comes with the bootloader needed for the rom.

Before you update to the latest firmware, I would recommend that you use NVFlash as a backup for recovering if you brick your device. You can find the information here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901479
If you update the latest Asus firmware, V10.6.1.14.8, it will also update your bootloader with the latest version. Good luck.
Thank you for the idea of NVFlash but unfortunately I have one too many updates to utilize that wonderful software. If I was able to use it, then I would have dove in head first and then informed the populace of my findings. So lets see if I give my self a ~$450 paper weight.

You are correct. The Asus firmware has the correct bootloader, recovery and rom. If you flash it from TWRP it will install the stock recovery. So you loose TWRP and root too. You're basically back to a stock system, except you're unlocked.

When I went to flash the firmware from twrp it kept failing. (and i accidentally wiped the os from the device) So I flashed ics back onto it and then tried upgrading again from the stock recovery, but i kept getting the dead android. I also got the device to recognize that there was an update zip on the device so that it would send it into an updating state by itself, but that also produced the android with the caution sign.
Any ideas?

There are a lot things that could be wrong. However, most likely are: 1. A wrong signed firmware, for example you have a US bootloader but you try to update with WW firmware. 2. You have a currupted zip file. 3. You forgot to unzip it once because there is a zip inside the other zip file. If non of the above are applied to you, you could try this.
1. Copy a second zip file to your Root directory on your Internal SD
2. Reboot your device
3. After rebooted, you should see the notification on your lower right corner with the new update
4. Just click on the updated notification and follow the instructions as it walk you through the updated precesses.
Please report back. If it does not work, you need to rename your second zip file and use the stock recovery to update the firmware. There is a link some where on this website will walk you through the processes. Good luck.

I second LetMeKnow.
Download the firmware again unzip it once and put it into the root of your microSD card. The card should be formatted as FAT32.
If the recovery does not automatically recognize it, rename the file to EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip.
As far as I can see you are on the .30 ICS so nvflash won't work for you.
In an attempt to stop anyone else from making a "pls halp me" thread I decided to make one myself.
Before I go further let me reiterate the importance of regular backups. Before you do anything, make a full backup of your device in a usable state^. This serves as somewhere you can revert to if you accidentally tap something that screws everything up.
^ - If you're trying to recover from what appears to be a softbrick you should start by flashing and/or booting into recovery or fastboot at least.
Being overly excited about finally getting Lollipop (I don't check for updates often) I immediately went and installed the first update available OTA, forgetting that I had for some reason refused to update my E8 since unboxing it. I've since successfully updated from 1.09 to 2.33 (Kit Kat 4.4.2 to Lollipop 5.0) and installed the Xposed Framework, here's some issues I ran into and what I did to solve them.
PROBLEM: Update takes you to your custom recovery mode without doing anything else.
Having already rooted and installing TWRP the OTA update failed, only taking me to TWRP's recovery screen instead of performing the update.
SOLUTION: Flash the stock recovery.img extracted from the downloaded .zip update in the Downloads folder on the Internal Storage
You can probably find the OTA/RUU update .zip you need from this thread or let your E8 check and download the update .zip which you can then find in the Download folder on the Internal Storage. Transfer it to your PC and extract recovery.img from 'firmware.zip' in the update .zip file. Using fastboot, flash the extracted stock recovery image and reboot. You can now restart the update which will properly complete. Once your phone has booted back up into Lollipop and completed the update you should flash back your custom recovery of choice using fastboot.
PROBLEM: ROOT LOST AFTER UPDATE
This shouldn't be a surprise. OTA updates will unroot your device.
SOLUTION: Install SuperSU in recovery, NOT Play Store.
Download the latest SuperSU installable .zip and copy it to your phone. Boot into recovery and install.
My E8 is a single-sim M8sX but I believe these steps should work with any other variant.
hello
i received b514 on my phone so i update it but it always says something wrong with the package so i download it again and again and again until i download it then i went to files and extracted the update and it worked but my phone stuck to the second boot animation then i flashed twrp to see if i made a backup on my SD card i didn't find anything i ****ed up so i download b514 from the internet then flashed the original recovery from b514 update.app then i tried to install the update through the force update way but now it stuck at 5%

Maybe you should flash the downgrade pack and then flash lollipop and try again.
Fixed i got B511 twrp backup from a friend
