I get stucked showing an android laying on its back with the triangle thing on its tummy.
I have to randomly press my hardware buttons to get to CWM
is there anyway I can fix this that when I choose recovery mode it will go directly CWM?
That is the stock recovery. Not clockwork recovery.
I'm guessing you used the command "fastboot boot" instead of "fastboot flash" when trying to flash recovery.

I was able to flash the CWM already tho.
I'll just reflash the CWM.
This could be your problem too.
From efrant's N4 101 guide:
" I just flashed CWM, but every time I try to boot into CWM, I keep seeing the stock recovery. Why?
If you updated your Android build using an OTA update file (either manually or over-the-air), the update placed two files on your device that re-flash the stock recovery every time you reboot your device. These two files are:
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh <== this is the script that installs the patch file
/system/recovery-from-boot.p <== this is the patch
You have to rename (or delete) one or both of them, then re-flash your custom recovery. Now it will stick."

okay I'll try this. but a got a quick question if I rename both of them (install-recovery.bak & recovery-from-boot.bak) will this possibly brick my device? or nothing major will be affected?
It won't brick your device.

thanks man. got it working. it doesn't show the stock recovery anymore. (renamed both files).
Hi,
I am sorry if this is asked earlier but I couldn't find it.
I wanted to go back to stock using fastboot. But I have a pro problem.
I downloaded the factory image from google and extracted it. It shows up as a file and when I rename it to .zip and extract it I am stuck with a boot.img, cache.img, recovery.img, system.img and userdata.img. So I don't have a flash-all.bat and I decided to flash these files manually. But when I started with boot.img I got an error message about my device (yes it showed up in "fastboot devices" and I don't exactly remember what error it was).
So how can I return to stock with fastboot?

You shouldn't have to rename anything. That sounds like a bad download. Redownload it and run a md5 check to be sure.

Well I downloaded it again and it was the same.. But I solved it. I renamed it to .zip and extracted it to my fastboot folder and flashed everything separatly.

OK, so i'm returning my N4 to Stock from Dirty Unicorns as i am possibly selling it. i Downloaded a copy of stock 4.2.2 from Google and extracted the images from the .tgz as instructed in this thread.
i re flashed the bootloader and radio fine, i had changed the radio previously to fix signal issues, but when i try to flash system it hangs on writing.
now when i boot into my recovery and restore an old backup it doesn't get past the boot screen.
any help with this would be really appreciated
cheers

Make sure you are in the correct folder location when flashing. Depending how you unzipped the tar, your system, boot, userdata and recovery img files might be in another folder. cd your way to the correct location then it should work.
I shift+right click to open a cmd prompt in the folder. I can send the files to the phone no problem but it hangs when trying to write it

Maybe switch cables and USB ports to make sure it's not one of those things. Check MD5 sum of the tar if you didn't before you started?
hi thanks for the help Jawmail. i managed to get it working. i ended up loading a odexed jdq39 rom from the forums and then forcing an ota update.
still no idea why it wouldnt flash the sysem image originally though

Hello xda, I unfortunately have an issue with flashing the android 4.4 factory zip. I know there are many different problems including the "status 7" issue which is ticking of some people. But I have a different error,
no md5 file found..
verifying current system..
"/system/app/Currents.apk" has unexpected contents.
E: Error executing updater binary in zip...
Can someone please explain this error and the solution for me? I have tried everything I could find, I'm rooted with trwp and I even tried cwp and adb side load to flash the android 4.4 factory zip but the same error always appears.
Someone help me.
I must of deleted Google currents by accident. And I couldn't even flash the android 4.3 factory zip without getting the same error.

Use a file manager to check to see if you have the Currents.apk in the /system/app directory, if it is missing just copy the attached one to /system/ap and change the permissions to rw-r-r to match the other files. The attached Currents.apk is from the JWR66V file system.

For permissions, if using ES File Explorer, long press on the app, press “more” in the bottom right corner, select “Properties,” then press the change box that is next to permissions. If you are using Root Explorer, long press on the file, and then select “Permissions.”
If you continue to receive errors, I recommend downloading the following stock JWR66V ROM, HERE. You can then pick out each file that you need, or you can just dirty flash it to restore all the needed files.
Attached is that file, you just need to unzip the file, and then change the permission on the file too rwxr-xr-x.

Error in /sdcard/0/ update.zip. (Status 7)". I'm on jrw66y tried to reflash, successfuly, tried 4.4 ota again, same error. I recived two OTA's for 4.3 and had no issues. I can understand errors for apks, but for a stock bootanimation i just can't... Does someone have a idea what next? Thanks in advance.

OK I reinstalled the old android 4.3 factory zip and then updated to the second 4.3 update and then the 4.4 , when I update I'm quarter way, it said error, boot animation has unexpected contents, I need the old boot animation back because when I turn on my nexus it doesn't have the traditional "x" boot animation anymore. I guess this new boot animation is from the JWR66V factory zip for rooted devices you gave me from before. Can you please give me the old boot animation file, I hope this is the only error I'm gonna get.

Now You have same issue as i do. I tried to dig it from several roms but in vain - couldn't find appropriate. Next question is if i get that file, can i put it to /system/media w/o root. I think i can't. Anyway @GoldenNexus7, if You aquire that bootanimation pls notice me, I'll notice You if I get it first.

I had the same problem and I solved it flashing system.img an boot.img from factory image. I don't remember the post so I'ill explain you. (For this method you have been bootloader unlocked)
1. Download Factory Image from Google site.
2. Unzip the .tgz file.
3. Unzip the .zip file in.
4. Copy system.img and boot.img to the location of fastboot (i. e. in SDK platform tools).
5. Open CMD in that location (shiftRightClick> Open Command Prompt Here).
6. Write this commands:
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Note: Userdata partition factory reset your tablet. Don't flash it!
And that's all. Your Nexus 7 has been updated.

Will the flashing system.img and boot.img wipe the data?
Unlocking bootloader wipes data. Flashing system and boot won't . But, sometimes device won't boot if data is not wiped. Now, as i wage lurking around for a solution or rooting and wipe data, I'm much closer to 2nd solution.

I installed the OTA and I don't know what happened, I got stuck on the Kitkat logo screen (boot animation). I am unlocked and have CWM installed. Now I can't get past that screen. I can access adb and also CWM recovery.
I am also planning to try this method now. Is it okay if I have CWM Recovery installed? Do I have to remove it in order for this to work?

Not sure if it would make a big difference, it will probably give me a different error once I try to update to 4.4 again.

The Factory Image include 4 files: boot.img, system.img, userdata.img (this wipes your data) and recovery.img (if you use a Custom Recovery, you don't have to flash this, if you don't, you must to flash it.

I have the same problem. I've tried to flash it from Custom Recovery (TWRP) and no root. I'm investigating that. I post if I found a solution. Recovery maybe the guilty.
Enviado desde mi Galaxy Nexus mediante Tapatalk
So I have pulled and uploaded the update zip file to drive just in case anyone needs it.
And modified to get it working on twrp with Modified system but important core apps like systemui.apk need to be untouched though, no need to flash stock again, just normal flash via TWRP, worked on mine.
And some people were asking if it flashes default recovery or not, so the Answer is TWRP/CWM will stick.
And you will not lose root Access too
Download Links:
TWRP/CWM flashable
Default OTA zip
Explanation of how solve if still having problems as posted by @[email protected]
[email protected] said:
As OP said,
U only have to edit the updater-script file present under condor_4.4.4_TWRP_flashable.zip\META-INF\com\google\android in order to get the zip file working.
1. Copy the condor_4.4.4_TWRP_flashable.zip file that OP shared to your PC.
2. Now open this file using any zip handler like 7zip/winzip/winrar/windows explorer(if running windows8+), browse to the above location to find updater-script file, now extract /copy this on your PC.
3. Now select an option to edit this file using Notepad++ (step 4 on how/what to edit/change)
4. As per the TWRP error log, remove all the lines from the updater-script in particular to that error.
For Ex. if the error says:
/system/app/LiveWallpapersPicker.apk\" has unexpected contents.
then u need to remove the following line from the updater-script
apply_patch_check("/system/app/LiveWallpapersPicker.apk", "f4b9dc41f0d4691a2f9b71be06036c1de91c43ea", "d57f5cbc092e3e6cab286793da70ee7ffc4f440e") || abort("\"/system/app/LiveWallpapersPicker.apk\" has unexpected contents.");
assert(apply_patch("/system/app/LiveWallpapersPicker.apk", "-",
f4b9dc41f0d4691a2f9b71be06036c1de91c43ea, 160480,
d57f5cbc092e3e6cab286793da70ee7ffc4f440e, package_extract_file("patch/system/app/LiveWallpapersPicker.apk.p")));
5. Once u are done with all such, simply save the updater-script and copy this back to its location and select replace if asked.
6. Now save the condor_4.4.4_TWRP_flashable.zip and copy it back to Phone and try flashing now using TWRP.
hope it helps

Flash the attached recovery.img (after unzipping the archive) using fastboot or mfastboot.
This one is only for XT1022.
Okay, so tried to modify the updater script to get it working with TWRP but it won't work if you modified any system file by yourself because it verifies all the system files and then patches them, (I had modified many apks, so it didn't work.), tried to skip verification but then it failed during patch.
So you can try But it won't work for modified system. and must create a nandroid backup.
Use the attached updater script for TWRP.
Even Stock recovery won't work on modified system.
update works on rooted devices but there should be stock recovery
Rooted users can update their moto e but must have stock recovery. If you are facing problem with trwp recovery while updating it, then flash the stock recovery annd then try. It works
Hit thanx if helped
