Hi,
I'm stuck with a custom rom and I can't quite get back to stock. I had rooted my device and installed twrp, and I was in need of an update, hence tried flashing the stock recovery and then trying to update but that didn't work either. My Honor View 10 somehow ended in a boot loop and I had to flash twrp and a custom rom to get it started. Now I can't quite get back to stock.
I have tried fastboot flashing recovery.img of stock firmware, have tried normal and forced upgrade too, nothing worked out. Any help will be appreciated.
By any chance it is Indian firmware?

Hi!
I rooted my Nexus few months back from now with Fastboot recovery. I got my Android ICS update 4.0.4 last week, I tried downloading it, I downloaded it, then it said rebooting for install. But my Nexus S freezes at Google logo with my unlocked lock sign. I have tried installing it many times, but all in vein.
Please somebody help!

If you're rooted, why dont you just use the rooted method to install the update. Someone made the update flashable. Its in the development section.
either way, pull the battery to see if you still have your recovery(volume up and power button)... if so, then restore to your latest restored point, hoping that you did make a backup
Then download the newest ICS update and just flash it the rooted way.
But if you insist on the official, unroot and then get the update via stock recovery method
good luck
Are you using the latest version of CWM?
If you've got a modified system image (including root), you should not use official upgrade packages. If you want to update the rooted system, you can use unofficial packages (in CWM). To boot a system, please start your recovery and flash a proper (4.0.4, unrooted or rooted, signed or unsigned) system image. If you erase the data partition all of your data is lost!
If you have stock recovery, then only signed images can be flashed. To be able to flash unsigned images you'll need CWM, which can be flashed through fastboot.
By the way official firmware can be downloaded from Google. Important! All of your data (including USB storage area) will be lost after the full upgrade with fastboot!
Hi guys, I just got a new Note. I was able to flash CWM Recovery using odin. After this, I flashed the stock recovery and booted it up. I tried updating the software via OTA, but after it reboots trying to update, it says update failed. It fails at 24% when the android symbol comes up after booting
Please help me

I'd bet $100 you didn't reset flash counter before flashing stock recovery....
Agree.
U have to reset counter, flash back stock recovery.
OTA is urs.

Most curious. AFAIK, OTA's will fail without stock recovery.
It seems the OTA's check for root or altered rom files, this has been my experience anyway, and if found to have been altered fails....

People i know haven't even unlocked their bootloader
But can't update?
me too, have the same problem.
I'll just flash the 4.4.4 EU image for my XT1032...
and I'll do the same thing for when lollipop comes around
Its look like you must reset factory then direct updating your firmware..
have you unroot and relocked your bootloader?
Try restoring to stock: Flash 4.4.3, go to stock recovery and try to make the update search, if this is not working do a clean flash (wipe cache+userdata) and try to update, some time ago i noticed that cannot update the firmware of my 4.4.2 because the cmw recovery, then wiped cache and intalled stock recovery and everything went fine
To receive OTA updates device should be only on stock recovery no cmw, no twrp. Try to install stock recovery with fresh stock rom, and remember to enable any disabled system apps (if any) like Motorola services, Motorola OTA, then only you will able to receive and install updates....
You need the stock recovery
Help! I cannot flash a custom recovery onto my phone (Verizon/RAZR Maxx HD). I used to have SafeStrap installed and it worked fine. One day I took a OTA update and lost root. So I used RSD Lite to re-flash my stock partition so I could take advantage of Towelroot and Motopocolypse while they still worked and was successful in doing both. So my phone was unlocked and rooted again and I was so happy I just used it as is for a few months. Later on, on decided it was time to try a new ROM, at which point I attempted to flash CWM recovery and it failed. So then I tried flashing SafeStrap again, and now that also failed. Then, in the process of troubleshooting failure to flash a custom recovery I managed to unroot myself (thanks to someone's bad advice). ... And of course this happened after I already took the OTA update that patched the towelroot exploit. So now my phone is Unlocked but not rooted anymore. I still cannot flash CWM (which is what I'd like to do) and use a custom ROM. Any helpful advice or constructive feedback would be greatly appreciated... Thanks!
Currently on Android 4.4.2, System Version 183.46.15.xt926.Verizon.en.US
Are you sure you are unlocked? Boot into your fastboot screen and tell us what it says. If you are unlocked, it's easy to regain root. Flash a recovery (try TWRP since CWM seems to not work) and flash a SU zip.

Same Issue
Apparently they slipped in a fix for towelroot because I losr root. Still have an unlocked bootloader thanks to motopokalyse. I actually jacked my stock recovery and am working on fixing now. I'll let you know if I get it fixed and can flash a recovery.
Hi,
I have a UK Moto G (2013) running 4.4.4 KitKat and I installed CWM recovery and rooted it some time ago. Now they are pushing out Lollipop OTA I am getting nagged by the phone to update - but, it always fails when I try. Presumably this will be because of the CWM and/or root. I tried a full unroot but that didn't help as CWM kept complaining on the upgrade reboot about something (can't remember what now!). I've read that in order to get the OTA update to work, I have to get the phone completely back to stock, but I can't find a working stock recovery for it. Do I have to take it back to stock or not ? Either way, would anyone know how I can get the OTA update to work please ?
I've tried flashing a couple of stock recoveries, but one fails to flash at all and the other doesn't work - you choose recovery and it just reboots the phone.
At the moment it's back to rooted, unlocked bootloader and CWM recovery.
Any help you could offer would be very gratefully received.
Thanks!
Are you able to locate the phone's from here: http://www.filefactory.com/folder/c6cdedc45a775d27/?sort=filename&order=ASC&show=100&page=1
