I'd like to enable the encryption, and I've been told you need stock recovery for that. How can I root the N4 and install CM10.1 but keep the stock recovery, and encryption working? To add extra complexity, I only have access to OS X 10.8.2 at home and at work.
Thanks!

Not sure about the encryption part, that would be the first time I have ever heard that. Why you would need a stock recovery? But you can fastboot boot recovery instead of fastboot flash the recovery.

So you can't have a custom rom and still use the encryption?

I believe that is incorrect. You can fastboot boot recovery instead of fastboot flash recovery then flash whatever you want afaik anyway. I have never used fastboot boot for anything other then to flash the su zip but i see no reason why it wouldnt work. The real question is why would you want to?
I want to have the full encryption enabled since this is a work device but. I heard it doesn't work with custom recovery.

I have been told twrp does support it thou its still untested. The dev doesn't have a nexus 4 to test with but he did say it works on the n7
regardless thou, all that would mean is you might not be able to backup a rom thats encrypted if twrp don't work. It has nothing to do with anything else. you cant make a backup on a stock recovery anyway

Just fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Pulled directly from the ERD79 stock images.zip.
That's it? Just boot to fastboot and select recovery ?
Will this work for nonrooted phones?

If you're nonrooted then you still have the stock recovery.
This is for people who've flashed a custom recovery and wish to go back to shipping.
Problem is this won't help people who have rooted roms and are trying to maintain it. The official updates fail on rooted roms.
We have to just wait for one of the devs to patch it up so we can flash it.
so what do you do then if you are not rooted?

Not willing to wipe entire phone and loose everything. I want an upgrade path, not a clean install path. It is mighty tempting at this point though...

*shrug* I just did the ERD79->2.1 update-1->FRF50->FRF83 update. Took about 20 minutes coming from paul's rooted FRF50.
I've just purchased a 2nd hand N1. How can I tell if I'm running the stock or custome img?
I know from rooting/customROMing my Hero a little about img's but what's the name of the stock img on a N1?
Cool, thanks.

Boot into recovery. If you get a triangle and an exclamation point then you have the stock recovery.

Not sure about the FRG83D update, but I'm pretty sure that I had Amon_RA 1.8 when I went from FRF91 to FRG83, and everything went fine.

sorry to resurrect but you must be lucky as **** cause all of mine have failed in amon... both of those builds too! Clockwork dosent help either!
Amon RA 2.x works fine with OTA updates as long as you turn off signature checking, same with ClockworkMod.

The easiest is to flash Amon_RA v1.9.0. That version has signature checking OFF by default. Makes it super simple to flash OTA updates on a stock ROM (rooted or not).
Here's a link to stock FRG83G and recovery.img, which will allow you to get the OTA notification and update:

I actually have a slightly different problem, how do I prevent my custom recovery rom from being flashed back to stock? I am running a rooted version of 2.3.4, and it seems like every now and then when I reboot, I lose my custom recovery!
Remove /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
Im gonna go for it and leap on Franco Milestone 1 to try out a custom kernel for the first time on stock rom. But i wanted to know how would i go back to the stock kernel if i decided i didnt like it or just wanted to go back? Im on The latest update Stock jellybean. Thanks for any help!

No, i would use adb for that, look in my sig how to set it up. Adb is much more reliable than a toolkit and you`ll learn something
Oh ok im a little iffy with adb i was hoping there was a way to flash stock just like you can the custom... But i guess if i have to ill look at how to do it that way.
You use fastboot not adb

you have made alterations to your phone so its not longer stock. the file you are flashing is for a stock rom and to be flashed in a stock recovery. to flash the update simply re-flash a stock recovery and allow the update to go through. you can also simply wait and flash an updated custom stock rom.
Edit: link deleted....may confuse you
Edit2: Using the toolkits you should be able to find the stock recovery image and flash it back

I see all these threads about flashing recovery and rooting on all carriers, so I just want to be sure, is it unlocked by default? If not, is there a way to unlock it?
Sent from my MB886 using Tapatalk
no it is not and no you can't unlock it. You can use loki to flash a recovery on it and then flash roms.

Loki is basically a bypass that allows you to have a custom recovery, right? Or is it just like a bootstrap/safestrap that requires you to have the stock ROM/kernel still installed?
And does Loki do a factory reset as if you had unlocked your bootloader?

when I flashed loki and recovery and root I did not have a factory reset so everything was still there. Also it allows you to flash roms you don't have to stay on stock

Coming from a Nexus, the procedure is a little different.
What you do is hook it up to the PC and run a script to gain ROOT. Then you download FreeGee and flash a Custom recovery. Pretty straight up. Doesn't require factory resets at all.
And I DO highly recommend using stock for about a week before you flash AOSP roms. The Stock rom is very nice, feature rich, and polished.
here is a link to an explanation of loki given by the creator. it was originally made when the galaxy s4 came out to get past samsungs security called knox but has evolved to work on other devices like lg. it doesnt support most manufacturers, just the ones dan wrote it to support.

I just want to make sure phones I'm looking at are able to be messed with, so I'm not stuck with something stuffed to the brim with bloat forever. I usually stick with stock for a while before switching to custom ROMs.
One last question (I may be lying about that), does the G2 handle 4-6ft drops well? I read one article that said it's about on par with iPhones there.
I am planning to buy a note 3. If I root it, can I dual boot android stock? That would be awesome.

Not with a locked bootloader.
Sorry for comment in a older post, but I cant find anything related, I have Verizon note 3, bootloader unlock, and AryamodROM 6.5 flashed... how can I install dualboot, to install another ROM... or point me in the right direction....
Thanks in advance.

What recovery do you have installed? If I recall, both philz and safestrap have 'rom slots' however, I don't believe TWRP does.

I have TWRP, been searching for dualboot patcher, and for the primary im going to put the primary ROM Aryamod, and want install MIUI 8 for second ROM, since the one that I have is very stable, but want it to try another one... or to have different slot can I replace TWRP, or directly install safestrap?
