flashing the 5.0 update on my k1 with flashfire - Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey guys i got the update this morning on my stock rooted k1 and tried to flash with flashfire, it went through fine and i kept twrp and root, but after a half an hour it rebooted and was stuck in a bootloop so i used my marshmallow backup i made with twrp to get my tablet back working.
has anyone else had this problem or how has everyone else got to nougat?

You are not alone. However, if you had AC Adapter plugged in, thats the main cause for boot loops.
I also wrote a little guide get rid of that. Maybe it helps you as well to get it to work.

Got exactly same problem...
Easiest and the fastest way to fix was for me flashing via fastboot blop GtrCraft provided and you are done.
No other actions needed.

Thanks mate I'll have a go at this when I get back

No problem! Also thank you GtrCraft for blob!

Same issue here, same fix worked. (just step 4) Thanks all.

hey guys this worked for me the blob file has everything in check, so when (or if) the next update comes can you just use flashfire again or do we need a new blob file?

For explaining... Flashfire got some problems with flashing bootloader... so you have to flash blob manualy. I think new blob is needed only with new major Android update 6.0 > 7.0 etc... So it should be ok to just use Flashfire with small ROM updates. But I suggest flashing always new blob if new version is released... Hope Flashfire will fix that issue in the future! GL

[SOLVED] TWRP Instal

Just got a brand new TF700T today. I unlocked it and rooted it successfully. I am trying to instal TWRP so I can instal CM11 however I cannot make it happen the easy way. Goomanager is gone (what happened with that?) from the play store. Both Flashify and TWRP Manager can't find a recovery for the TF700T. What gives?
Firmware 10.6.1.14.4-20130329 if it matters. JB 4.2.1.
Id really like to avoid fastboot if I can.

fastboot is the way to go...
really if you want to avoid fastboot, you should have left it locked ...
We can get you up and running, let me know

Alright well lets start with updating the firmware. That should leave root intact right? So whats the best way to do that?

If you are still on stock the easiest way is to flash the latest Asus firmware.
Download your JB 4.2.2 SKU version from Asus support downloads site, unzip the downloaded file once resulting in another zip, and copy that second zip to the root of your internal SD.
The system should recognize the update file, pop up a notification about an update being available and flash it. If it doesn't, reboot.
You will loose root, but you don't need it to flash a custom rom following this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2688891
Thanks to lj50036 I was able to get CM11 on there successfully. Everything is running so much better than it was with the stock rom. I really appreciate it!

Problems with downgrading to KitKat

Hey guys, I'm trying to downgrade to KitKat after all the issues Lollipop is giving me and the incompatible apps I'm trying to run.
I am following instructions here but I came across a problem when flashing the system.img file.
The error it gives me is:
FAILED (remote: Insufficient memory.)
I can't flash over system and can not boot.
What am I missing? I was rooted and my bootloader unlocked prior to starting and I tried with the factory recovery and the 1.2.1 recovery image.
Edit: My issue has been solved. Flashing the Full OTA.zip file will install KitKat over Lollipop. No need to manually flash each file through fastboot. I wish guides would tell you that instead.

I don't know why that wouldn't work. Have you tried just downloading the image from nvidia HERE?
I'm assuming wifi since your sig says 16GB

Those are the same files as the ones I downloaded in the other thread.
I got my tablet working again on Lollipop 5.0.1 but that's not where I want to be. I've searched about my error message but most threads I found went unanswered.
Your best bet might just be to try getting a full OTA and flashing it through cwm or something. I'll try with mine when I have some time to backup and flash, probably later tomorrow. If I find anything out I'll post.

I just flashed the images and booted.
Did you accidentally try flashing to the wrong place, such as flashing to boot( which would be too small) instead of system? Did you do all of the commands yourself or use the .bat? My shield disconnected after doing the boot.img and system.img for some reason, so I had to select fastboot protocol to reboot the bootloader and continue to flash the userdata.img, blob, and battery.dtb.
was your tablet internal memory full?, try wipping data and chace and you could use the script that the original Nvidia recovery image has zipped. I went up and down like 3 times, im in kitkat right now and not experiencing any problem.

So I should just flash the ota.zip?
Also i did everything like the guide. I flashed boot to boot, recovery to recovery. The only thing that gave me an error was system. Userdata, blob, and battery also flashed successfully. After that didn't work, I also tried the .bat and that didn't work either. Flashing the 5.0.1 update got my tablet running again.

If you can find a full ota.zip for update 1.2.1 I'd try that. I'm not sure why you would be having this issue. The only other things I can say to try is redownloading and rebooting the boot loader (select fastboot protocol) between images in case something funny is happening there. Let us know how you end up doing.

I flashed the 1.2.1 OTA update and it worked. The first time I tried, I did using the TWRP recovery but for some reason, that recovery fails to flash OTAs, so I went with CWM and flashed the 2.1 update and all worked again. After a while, I got tired of all the issues lollipop gave me so that's why I tried following that guide to downgrade.
In the end, using CWM and flashing the OTA is the best way to go. Thank you all for you help.

Moto G (1st gen) OTA to Lollipop fails

Hi folks, so, I received OTA update for my Moto G (XT1032).
Phone was rooted (I did unroot from SuperSU). Also, I've re-installed Stock recovery (to make sure) and wiped cache/dalvik.
But, update still fails.
I don't have much root-related soft (like Xposed etc) installed - so pretty sure this should not cause an issue.
But still, update fails.
Any ideas how to troubleshoot/make it work? Maybe installing OTA somehow from recovery (custom one, TWRP)?
Any comments - much appreciated. I guess I'm not alone in this, but still...
Thanks

Have to install stock ROM again then update it via ota. Could also try flashing an ota update file via the official recovery of your phone.

Yep, my guess was the same. As per official recovery - I'll try adb sideload, but first time it couldn't find phone (all drivers installed and up-to-date).

Well, I might misunderstood, but:
I have official recovery (fastboot is mode of it, I guess, when U press Power+volume key?)
I've read about adb sideload zip_name_of_OTA.zip
I don't know any other way to install OTA apart from let phone handle it OR adb sideload.

Got this, screenshot in attachment.
Fingerprints are wrong. In build.prop - I can see it's fine, fingerprint of current 4.4.4. - matches expected.
But as soon as update starts - it says that 4.4.2 is fingerprint of my OS. Bollocks.
Edited OTA zip, edited some metadata file...
Why it won't install on pretty clean phone - I can't understand...Previous installs of OTA went fine with root etc.

i feel ya same thing here, than i tryed installing a stock lollipop from here via twrp witch ended up messing my phone with failing the procedure wondered around couldnt revert to stock since im a noob and didnt even backed up the rom,but at the and of the day thank god for the cm12.1 finally menaged to make my phone running again at least
Greetings, I have the same problem, it is the last screen that appears when you install the update, and then restarts it goes off the screen update error ...
To anyone having issues:
1. Make sure you're on completely stock 4.4.4 (Refer to http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/rom-stock-motorola-rom-collection-t2854688 and use only untouched 4.4.4 version for your phone if you have to reflash before continuing)
2. Make sure you're on stock recovery (Refer to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2649763)
*Uninstall XPOSED if using it
3. I personally let update run on its own after reverting everything to stock.

Yeah, that's the better way.
But I guess, I can install Stock 5.* straight away after wiping? Why bother about OTA, if there is ROM available?

Yep.
The solution is backup data, restore stock last firmware using fastboot guide posted in this forum and not even update apps (cancel gmail registration and everything it asks when it first starts) ONLY update motorola update services so you can get the ota again an install it. If you have the ota downloaded you can flash it through recovery but using the last recovery version (.61) and of course last firmware version. If you guys flash it all through fastboot, it should install w/o any problems.

YOG4PAS2QL bricks my OPO

Hi
Since updating my OPO to YOG4PAS1N0 I couldn't reboot my OPO. Since the last update it won't even boot any more. I've reflashed to stock 4.4.4, installed every update and had the same issue. I even tried to flash the zip true recovery, but i got an error while doing it. So, after three times of updating, I'm back to square one.
After going back to stock I have to factory reset in recovery, otherwise the OPO won't boot.
But of course I'd like to install Lollipop (and later Marshmallow). What can I do? I have a Mac with OSX 10.11 and a laptop with Windows 7, so I'm able to use both.
I did the flashing on my Macbook with the Toolkit found here. But I don't think there's an issue with this, as it uses the terminal. It's just easier then to type it all myself
Thanks in advance.

It'd help if you actually posted what errors you're getting, without information like that it's virtually impossible to troubleshoot. Anyway, your best bet is probably just to flash the stock images with fastboot. Back up anything important first as this will wipe your device. See section 8 of my guide:

I've tried the first, didn't work. I've tried flashing 11S and started upgrading. I didn't have issues until 12.0. When I got to 12.1 I couldn't reboot (but I could shut down and boot). With the latest update I couldn't even boot normally.

Now I'm on 5.0.
On the last update I couldn't update reboot or boot anymore. The update before that I couldn't reboot, bu I could boot.

TWRP not flashing anything other than B180

Hello Everyone
Thanks in advance for reading this. I'm having another issue here which has me stumped.
As mentioned in my other thread, I'm having issues with the wifi hotspot on this B180 ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/development/rom-stock-b162-rooted-t3336931
So I tried to flash other roms available in the forum through TWRP (Wipe then Install) however whenever I try to flash any other ROM; TWRP just boots me back into the main menu.
So Now i'm flashed back into the above ROM and the WIFI issue still persists.
Am I doing something wrong here to make TWRP not flash any other ROM other than the one mentioned above?
Thank you again for all the help
Eddie
If you're trying to flash B320 over your B180 with TWRP that won't work properly.
Grab the correct firmware package for your device here and flash the stock recovery for your device (you can put TWRP back later)
Store the update.app file in sdcard/dload/update.app
Dial *#*#2846579#*#* and choose option 4 for software upgrade
Once successfully updated to B320 you can then install the latest version of TWRP 3.0.2 for EMUI4.1 and reap the benefits
Thank you @MuPp3t33r
@MuPp3t33r I just tried doing that and all it does is boot me into TWRP. Am I missing something? Thanks

At which point does it send you back to TWRP? Was it when you dialled the number to upgrade? If so that means you haven't flashed the stock recovery yet. You will need to use fastboot to flash recovery.img from the stock rom in the same way you originally flashed TWRP.
The recovery.img can be extracted using Huawei Update Extractor if you don't have it, otherwise let me know and I can upload a copy for you...
@MuPp3t33r I figured it out, I used SRK tool to flash OEM Recovery then flashed to 180 then to 320. I then went back and flashed TWRP 3.0.2 and then wiped and tried to install the following ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/development/rom-simply-google-t3311395
TWRP keeps saying "Zip FIle is Corrupt!"
Update: got it fixed. figured out it was a corrupted SD Card! Thanks everyone
