Update from ICS when unlocked with TWRP?

I am on ICS 4.0.3... 9.4.5.30 I am rooted, unlocked and have TWRP. I can't find anything consistent online to get this thing to JB so I can install the latest Clean Rom. And I can no download anything from Asus' website... It just DOESN'T work! Nothing there to DOWNLOAD........
"*Remember you must be on the JellyBean bootloader for CROMi 3.xx"
It seems like there are no consistent way to do this, if anyone has a way please help.....
Thanks

First make sure you have TWRP version 2.3.1.0 or 2.3.3.0 recovery, if you have the old version it will brick your device when you wipe data. Next you need to download the latest Asus full firmware from Asus site. Go here http://www.service.asus.com/ then click on download, then type in search box tf700 hit search, then pick tf700, then pick O/s is Android, click on firmware and find the correct SKU for your region like US for United State, under neath you see a icon of a floppy disk called "Global" click on it to download. Asus site is slow to nagivate so be patient. Once you download the zip file, first unzip it to another zip file, then copy to your sdcard, then boot into twrp (the recommended version), then flash this zip, once done, you will lose TWRP because this is a full firmware with JB bootloader. You need to fastboot back TWRP, then use twrp to flash Cleanrom. That's it!! Just ask if still need help.

Well I finally got the asus website to download the file for me.. Chrome issue I guess..
I then got lucky when I flashed it because I have No Clue what version of twrp I have.. lol I just flashed it with goo manager so I am amusing latest. This is my first experience with these asus products.... sorry for the ignorance. (only moto and samsung devices in the past)
It says right on the NV flash page to not use it with post 9.4.5.30....
"'THIS ONLY WORKS IF YOU HAVE A PRE 9.4.5.30 BOOTLOADER"
That is what I had, now I have 10.4.4.25... um 9 is < 10 right?....
Even though I used OTA root keeper I lost root too, I guess I have to start over from here.....?
Thanks!

No, you unlocked right? read my instruction you need to reflash twrp then you can flash custom rom. You can follow instruction from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1938129 start with section 2, make sure you download the latest twrp (2.3.3.0 goomanager won't help you here).

I am unlocked. I will have to use the fastboot method to get twrp again right? Is there another way? My computer has been having issues with ADT, since you can't just get the good ol SDK anymore....
I'll try anyway..

Eventually you will need to use fastboot/adb, so I suggest to get it working. Once it's working it only take a few seconds to flash twrp. In the future when Asus release another firmware with a different bootloader, you will need to do the same again.

OK so I ran the fastboot command to install twrp
sending 'recovery' (7618 KB)...
OKAY [ 2.842s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 6.945s]
finished. total time: 9.789s
But my tab seems stuck. It shows the fastboot screen with a bar that is highlighted about 60% of the way. Do I reboot my self? I would hate to brick this thing...

do fashboot reboot command to reboot. BTW, you flash the 2.3.1.0 or 2.3.3.0 version of TWRP right? if not may brick your device if you try to wipe. Once boot into twrp, please check the version.

Thanks for all your help, and for not being a typical XDA a$$.

You could have just updated to the 10.4.4.25 bootloader in post 2 of the cromi thread from twrp.

Locked Bootloader.....totally locked

I finally managed to flash a working version of the COS version 1.2 to my OPO 64GB (China set) and it works fine except now i notice my bootloader is totally locked and i've tried 2 other tookits from XDA and manually tried to unlock the bootloader using command but still unsuccessful.
Has anybody got any experience with this?

Well....this is what i'm getting :crying:

Might be a small thing and might not help... but can you run "fastboot reboot" after the oem unlock, let it boot into Android, then reboot into fastboot mode and try to flash recovery?
Remember that when you oem unlock you wipe the device.

If it's auto rebooting into recovery after the unlock, something is definitely wrong. Sorry, not really sure. It should reboot into whatever Android build you've got installed. In TWRP did you try re-flashing whatever build your device came with... try to start fresh? I know you can download the CM 11S builds right from CM, not sure about ColorOS.

XT1039 5.1 - TWRP/Root?

Hi I just bought a XT1039 today and it came with the new 5.1 build out of the bos.
I've been reading the forums and it seems like there's no sure way to root and/or flash TWRP on Lollipop?
Does anyone know how I can do that? Or do I have to roll back to Kit Kat or something? Please help!

Hey there, can anyone tell me whether or not I can just use the TWRP version that can be downloaded on twrp.me?
I have the XT1039 with a unlocked bootloader and I am aiming to install TWRP and later CM/ResurrectionRemix if possible onto the device.
But first things first - TWRP is the thing that is missing. Anyone still using the phone?

TWRP for peregrine is available on twrp.me and it works fine - not sure what you mean with "missing".

Missing just personally on my phone
Alright thx will have a closer look!

I need to bother you again.
I have downloaded the latest twrp for the device but seem to be unable to get it up and running.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes

Looking good, but after that - when I press vol - & power on I get into the fastboot menu. When choosing "recovery" in there, the screen goes black and nothing happens.
Any idea?
edit: I get a "mismatched partition size (recovery)" within fastboot... didn't notice until now. Any input on that?

No idea. It works fine on my XT1039. Try "fastboot boot twrp.img" to see if it starts that way. If it does, you could try copying twrp.img to the phone using adb push or mtp, then flash it to the recovery partition from twrp's "install image" feature.

Thx but somehow I wasn't able to get into recovery but every time in the system itself. Recovery was overwritten, I think. After 20 or so tries I finally managed to get it running.

[Solution/Solved] Pixel Bootloop After Rooting Chainfire/Flashing boot-to-root.img

I stupidly tried to use Chainfires root method on my pixel by flashing boot-to-root.img. I am now stuck in a bootloop and I have no idea how to fix it. I can get into the fastboot page I think it is called by holding the volume down and power buttom. How can I fix this? Sorry if it is a dumb question. I tried using adb but don't know how it works and I get the error 'error: device '(null)' not found' when trying to do 'adb reboot bootloader'.
I really appreciate if anyone can help me. I am freaking out :laugh:

Try downloading the stock image and installing that from fastboot. If you are on a Verizon one and on 7.1.1 you are out of luck for root if you bootloader isn't unlocked.

Ok, stop freaking, this is very fixable. Assuming you have the Google version, or the Verizon version unlocked.
Short answer, we are going to get it into fastboot mode and we are going to flash you back to stock and probably save your data.
First, we need to make sure you have the correct version of Fastboot/ADB. It must be from GOOGLE.
https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools.html
Unzip that onto a spot on your desktop.
Then go here and download the latest image for the Pixel. I am assuming you are in the US, get 7.1.1 (NOF26V, Feb 2017) for the Pixel.
https://developers.google.com/android/images#sailfish
Unzip that into a the Platform folder you made above with the fastboot tools. When you are all done it should look like the picture below. The highlighted items are the items that came from the Factory Image you extracted in step two. Everything else is from the platform tools.
Now RIGHT click 'flash-all.bat' and edit it. Near the end...look for the -w and take it out and save it. Removing that is what is going to save your data.
Power down your phone, restart it in bootloader mode. Power and Vol Down. Connect it to your computer and then double click 'flash-all.bat'.
That will take you back to stock unlocked and all your data and settings will be there.
Get past that and let us know. Then we will get you properly rooted. Yea, you used the wrong root process.

I love you <3
Thank you so much. I stupidly was trying to flash a file that wasn't an image file! I really appreciate your help man I don't know what I'd do if it wasn't for you.

No link handy, but here is how I do it. And yes, it is via fastboot, only way I know of at this point.
Download 2.7.9 SR3 SuperUser and copy it to your phone.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133
Download TWRP RC1 and copy it to your fastboot folder.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/development/twrp-alpha1-pixel-devices-t3500312
Using other versions than above will bootloop you. Reboot the phone into bootloader mode. Power and Vol down.
fastboot BOOT twrpFilename.img Where twrpfilename.img is the name of the TWRP file you just downloaded. Note is says boot in the command, not flash.
That will boot the phone into TWRP. Select Install and install the SU zip you copied to the phone above. And reboot the phone, done.

Thanks! That worked.

If it is a Verizon phone, no you can't unlock it. If it is a Google phone to unlock...below is a decent link on how to. Except use the ADB Fastboot tools I link to in the third post of this thread.

And be aware, when you unlock it...it will wipe all the data on your phone.

My pixel (stock, not rooted) is boot looping after the May OTA updates. Google support says to take it back to the store as it's still under warranty. Would the above fix work for my phone? Is it worth it, or should I just get a new one? This is already my second pixel as the first one died abruptly after 3 months.

Is the bootloader unlocked? If so I would certainly try flashing stock first. It can't hurt, and moments ago my Nexus 6 that I keep for backup was doing the same thing after the OTA. I just reflashed stock and it is fine now.

I think so, but am not 100% sure. Was bought unlocked from a retail shop. (Sorry, am a bit of a newb!)

So please let me understand
I am on 7.1.2 april (N2G47E), and if I want to update to may N2G47O the steps are:
- sideload ota
- flash new bootloader from may factory image
- twrp RC1 and supersu 2.79 sr3
Does this work or do I have to make something different?

Thanks sir

Greatttttt

Thank you for the img files. Unfortunately i have a problem. When i try to boot the October image with fastboot on A slot where my phone is updated to the october patch - it stucks on android logo. When i switch to B slot which is September patched and use the september img u provided - again the same thing. Any idea?

Thats weird... what model do you have? , I thought they work on all Models...
On my device (TA-1012)[Single sim 128gb/6gb], I have exactly the same patches on a and b and both work like a charm with their specific images... Just redownloaded and tested it again...
To narrow down your problem further:
Did you flash anything else? Is your device booting normally when just rebooting? Root? Twrp?

If you have another model and some time leftover I would greatly appreciate if you(and everyone else reading this with Another model):
1. could reflash the 4.88 Stock Image
2. Turn off automatic update
3.follow this Upgrade guide over and over again
https://forum.xda-developers.com/no...root-nokia-8-ability-to-t3848390/post77751877
4. Afterwards send me the stock_boot_(randomstuff).gz Magisk generates as Backups in the folder /data or (only viewable with root explorer) AND a screensho of the file creation dates so I know which is which...
I would then upload them and add them to the thread to help others with your model...
No worry's if you don't have time...

Thanks for the replay! My device is TA-1012 [4/64]. I haven't flashed anything. I neither have TWRP or root. When rebooting it is showing the warning that my bootloader is unlocked (offical method). But i noticed something strange. Maybe you will laugh at me :laugh: but the thing is when i boot the phone and the warning pops up it says to press the power button to continue but that doesn't work. I have to wait to boot itself. In the other hand when i boot the stock images you provided the power button works and when i press it, the warning disappears and the android logo pops up. I dont know if this was helpful in some way but i wanted to mention it. Also i will post the backed up img soon that you wanted up there.

Ok so i came up with another idea. I forgot to mention that all these steps i did on Linux so i have Windows also and switched to see if the things are the same. When i enter in cmd, adb recognizes the device without problem. When i write adb reboot bootloader everything is fine. BUT when i write fastboot devices when my phone is in download mode , nothing happens. When i try something like fastboot reboot or fastboot boot xyz.img it says <Waiting for device>. I tried adb and fastboot installer but again nothing. I cannot find nokia drivers, but in OST LA there are 3, i installed them and again nothing. So what should i do?
Edit: It worked when i downloaded new version of adb and fastboot CLI but again - booting the oct img even in Windows cmd makes the phone stuck on android logo

The Power Button stuff is exactly the same for me... Don't think thats the issue...
Really weird, would love to debug further but really have not much other ideas...
Did you try newest fastboot/adb binaries on windows too?
Do you have access to another pc to try it on?
Switched out cables/ports used?

I've switched ports, tried another pc even with different OS (win7). Downloaded the newest adb and fastboot binaries from Android Developers site - nothing. Also i ran a test in fastboot and its says:
bootloader unlocked: true
critical unlocked: false. But i dont think critical is necessary, isnt it?

Yep the same thing

I think i should try to flash the stock firmware provided in the forum i think it was the June one. Maybe that will make my device able to flash your images

I have similar issues. I have ta-1012 4/64. When it was of september patch, no september image worked (modified or not), it stucks at "android powered" logo. This is the volatile booting which is performed by "fastboot boot" command.
I use a linux desktop. I tried the latest fastboot executable which came with android-studio and also the one on archlinux android-tools package. (they are a bit different) Results are same.
Now it has october patch. No success with october boot images, too

I think you should wait for TWRP.

Yep. We are the black sheeps. Anyway i will definitely wait for TWRP because the other things are risky and thats my daily driver. BTW Im on Manjaro which is based on Arch.

I have A pretty restrictive https configuration on that server...
Do you use A massively outdated browser? If Not it should work...
