Is there any way to install any os into a phone with no os(i deleted the os files) using ubuntu? The phone usedto have android 4 but I rooted and changed to ios9 and I wiped all data after that. plzzzz help.
What is the make and model of the phone in question?
lenovo a536
I cant get to the os so i cant tell the make . sry
Look inside here:
Is there an Android ROM flashing utility available for Ubuntu 14.04?
Is there any Utility that can be used in Ubuntu 14.04 to flash a ROM or a custom recovery to an android? I am interested in flashing the stock ROM and CWM recovery to a Broadcom chip based android ...

I meant the model of your phone, company etc
Solved It!
Well, the twerp recover utility was still there. All i had to do was copy a custom rom to my sd card and insert in in the phone, then boot into twerp recovery and flash the custom rom present in the sd card.
Thanks for all your help!

After rooting our smartphone users get root privileges which enable us to flash different ROMs like those from Cyanogen MOD etc. My question is can flash a WIndows Phone OS or an Ubuntu Phone OS on our phone. Since when we flash a ROM there is no ROM in the phone between deleting the initial ROM and installing the new ROM, the new ROM should not be having a compatibility aspect. Therefore if we can somehow get hold of the Windows Phone OS file can we flash it onto our system.

Hi XDA community,
I updated my One+ one to OS Oxygen lollipop (succesfully) by loading the zip file from the TWRP menu, but I prefer the 4.4.4 version (main reason is battery life), so before reinstalling the original CM11, I decided to 'clean' a little bit my phone.
I think I wipe too many things (like system, data, sdcard...) (erfff, I know, I'm stupid and make a big mistake, but that's not the point !)
Now, I have a nice phone, without any OS.
Question is :
How can I copy a new ROM zip into the phone storage to install it from TWRP ? (the only way I know to inxtall a ROM)
Or maybe I'm totally wrong and I need to do something else, but what ?
I'm not a total noob, but I'm really stuck with a OSless phone and don't really know what to search.
Can someone point me to the correct direction ?!
Thanks in advance

Hello,
Since last ROM you used was based on Android Lollipop, you can flash any Android Lollipop based ROM without any issues by just pushing the ROM.zip along with GApps.zip in the internal storage.
If you want to rollback to any Android KitKat based ROM, you need to flash CM11S firmware first before flashing any Android KitKat based ROM otherwise you'll end up bricking the device.
And if you happen to flash Android KitKat based ROM first and then suddenly changed your mind to upgrade to latest Android Lollipop based ROM, then recommendation is to first flash any CM12 nightly and then flash any Android Lollipop based ROM.
Thanks Mister for your answer :angel:
My pb was more about how can I copy the ROM on my phone, but anyway, I found a solution with the USB-OtG :good:
I copy the CM11 rom on the OtG key, plug it on my phone, and from the TWRP menu, I successfully mount the 'otg-usb', so I can browse the additional usb key plugged on my 1+1, and select the correct zip file.
By the way, many thanks for your explanation and direction on how I can upgrade/downgrade my device without brick it !
Long life to XDA
We all like to flash new custom roms in our Lenovo A6000.
Some time new custom rom release on Lolipop base which is very attractive and we might wanna check it out.
Unfortunately the new custom rom might be buggy and we may be forced to revert back to kitkat or whatever os you were before.
Analysing the present custom os' available for lenovo a6000, many rom authors says that the phone should be currently running on kitkat/lolipop before instaling that particular OS.
I found a work around to avoid flashing of 1 GB stock rom (which is time consuming) to get into kitkat/lolipop build. You just need to flash a very small sized zip file which contain the core system files that are essential .Steps
From Kitkat to Lolipop
Download Kitkat named file attached below
Copy it to your sdcard
Boot into recovery
Flash the copied file
flash whatever lolipop custom rom you like
Voila all done and reboot
[*]From Lolipop to Kitkat

Looks useful but I'm on A6000 plus. Can you port this for us?

Thank You Rahul S Nair for Your Efforts and Hard Work,
Unfortunately It's not working for Me on A6000,
i was in CM 11 4.4.4 (Unofficial),
I just flashed your Kitkat based system by you.zip via TWRP and it's succesfully installed,
Then i flashed Xenon HD from ( http://www.techolaty.com/34356/lenovo-a6000-plus-xenon-hd-custom-rom-32-bit.html ) which is based on Lollipop 5.1, > it showed installation completed.
and i rebooted my device.
But Stucked on Lenovo Logo.
Waited for more than 5 - 6 Minutes, Done 3-4 Times, But no more Changes_Any remedy?
But after this i can install Kitkat based ROM, installed CM 11 again without any changes,

You need to flash lolipop base system not kitkat.
Great @rahulsnair You saved time of installing stock kk and lp again and again if we want to change OS(lp and kk).Many users are not aware of this tool.It helped a lot .It works flawlessly.No brick found.
Thanks

hi, all xda members.
i am newbie for android world.
I am trying to making a new costom rom for my beloved device redmi 2. Currently running Miui6 rooted with bootloader unlocked.
i wanna know that where can i find recovery in my android. ?
i am very curious to know that when i flash a new rom it don't wipe my recovery even all things wiped but recovery doesn't. So i want to know why ?
where the recovery situated in android so that it can't wipe while flashing a new rom. ?
hope u will help.
Thank you all.
Hello..
I think ist better for you to install a custom recovery frist
after that you can make a nandroid backup using the custom recovery...this is important..because you will messed up..it will event android guru messed up their device once a whaile..
after you have the nandroid backup..you can flash any custom ROM for your devices..to find a devices please use the search bar at the top..
after you gain enough knowlage to build a custom ROM you can compile it for your devices..but for starter I highly recommend you to use any custom ROM for your device first

Thanks for your reply brother.
Hello,
I am a beginner at android development.
I have a Lenovo tab 2 a7 10f which was, actually given by my coaching institute with a KitKat rom installed in it which, i guess was with system app of them.Whenever anyone would open it, it would turn on with a screen if the app only.With my current knowledge, system app can only be deleted by flashing a new rom or by rooting the rom(what could i do by roiting if it turns on to that app only!). Now,I wanted to flash a firmware of KitKat, either by recovery or by SPF tools.
1. I tried recovery and then rom method, after installing adb and fastboot drivers and Lenovo usb and that 15 second driver, adb devices didn't show up(It showed up on any other device )
2.I tried Spf tools method ; it also didnt work
To my curiosity:angel:, in the stock recovery, it showed the option of flashing an update through adb sideload.
I tried and it showed up like
Xxxxxxxxxx.... sideload
I read the xda forums and found that to install a custom or stock lollipop rom a minimal mod has to be made using SPF tools.
NOW
what i need is KitKat recovery flashable stock or custom rom because there are lollipop ROMs everywhere.If it is already available, please send me link or if any guy has a KitKat rom and knows how to make a flashable zip of it, please upload.
This thread will be useful for many people having the same problem.
Regards,
Spartan the boy
even i got this same tablet from a coaching institute their name is professional academy for cpt
