Why cant I flash custom recovery on 4.3? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I downloaded the latest twrp recovery and put the file in my platform tools. (also renamed it to twrp.img) and I go into fastboot mode. Run cmd in my platform tools directory and type fastboot flash recovery twrp.img and I get this message twrp.img no error. Im following a youtube video and the guy does the same thing im doing and his works..

Does it do the same with CWM?

1. Is your bootloader unlocked?
Use "fastboot oem unlock" to unlock your phone's bootloader. Be warn that it will wipe everything if you do not use "fastboot format cache" afterwards.
2. Can you see your device after you run command "fastboot devices"?
Install the fastboot drivers, download google usb driver here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html

yes my bootloader is unlocked and when I run command 'fastboot devices' it works. Im really stumped..

is your kernel rooted? if yes use Recovery Tools (on play store).

I just flashed it last night without any problems but I renamed the file recovery.img. You sure you have version 2.6 for the Nexus 4? TWRP has different recoveries for each device.
---------- Post added at 01:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:16 PM ----------
Here's another thing to check. Make sure you didn't rename the file twrp.img.img as windows hides extensions by default. In my case when I renamed the file recovery I didn't have to add the extension .img as it was already there.

If you're rooted, try this method:
1. Boot to Android system.
2. Enable USB Debugging
3. Connect your phone with USB.
4. Run the command below:
Code:
adb push twrp.img /sdcard/twrp.img
adb shell
5. Next, get root permission and flash the recovery.
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
6. After confirming every steps, boot into recovery.
Code:
adb reboot recovery

Thanks guys i just used a toolkit and I have twrp for 4.3 now

[Q]Manually updated to 4.2.2... Now locked out of adb and recovery. Help.

I'm in a bit of jam. I flashed the official zip from google to update to 4.2.2 and the flash seemed to work fine. I cleared both caches after the update
However, now I seem to be completely locked out of adb and the phone doesn't prompt me for authorization (the new feature in 4.2.2) http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...s-from-stealing-your-data-in-some-situations/ . I am showing connected but offline just like this article. I have tried multiple reboots (phone/computer) as well as different USB ports. I have not tried another computer yet.
When I try to go to recovery I get a red exclamation point dead robot as I assume the flash wiped TWRP and I can't reflash TWRP without adb/root.
I would like to try to avoid a complete internal memory factory reset from the rom which I'm not sure would work anyway.
Please help.
update your adb / sdk.

Fortunately, I was able to reflash TWRP using fastboot w/o using adb. At the bootloader, I ran
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
which got my recovery back up and running.
I decided to do a factory wipe and even after that adb was showing as offline and not prompting. I am very confident that your suggestion of updating the platform tools is going to fix my issue.
Thank you.
Locked on 4.2.2
My Nexus 7 is locked on 4.2.2. I tried to Unlock with Nexus Root Toolkit and I get "adb offline". I did the command "adb devices" and the device showed up, but when I tried to unlock again, it gets stuck on "checking adb status". I updated SDK and copied the new adb.exe, fastboot.exe, etc into the platform-tools folder and it still doesnt work. So basically my oem is locked on 4.2.2 and I can get adb or the toolkit to work properly.. Is there a way to downgrade back to 4.2.1 or get the Wugfresh Nexus Toolkit to actually unlock my Nexus 7 on 4.2.2??
Yea, there's a way to downgrade if you have a nandroid and know what you're doing. The toolkit will need to be updated, and it helps to know how to do it manually first.

If you know the steps or can link me to a page, that would be much appreciated. I want clear steps.
Basically the same thing just happened to me. I updated to the newest android sdk then followed the steps here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010312
I had to restore the complete stock image first, then I sideloaded the update. I made sure all of my files were in C:\Development\sdk\platform-tools (thats the directory I used, yours may be different). Open a command prompt on the platform-tools folder and run fastboot devices, if you see a number there you are good to go. Just follow the steps in the link above to flash each file.
Why cant people wait..

I'm going to try this. Can i just type "fastboot devices" in the command prompt and it'll work?
EDIT: I found a simple fix for anyone with this problem: CREATE A BACKUP FIRST, THIS WILL ERASE EVERY THING
1. Go into the platform-tools and open the command prompt by pressing Shift + Right Click.
2. Type in "adb reboot bootloader"
3. Then type in "fastboot oem unlock"
4. WALA! It'll take a while to start up, don't worry. Set up your device and that's all.

But with oem unlock, you'll still be on 4.2.2. This thread should offer good info on flashing, albeit for a galaxy nexus, but it should be mostly applicable for a nexus 7. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895

That's the point; we want to be unlocked and rooted on 4.2.2. I previously thought that in order to get an unlocked and rooted Nexus, I'd have to be on 4.2.1, unlock and root, then upgrade to 4.2.2 but that's not the case. I just unlocked and rooted via ADB since the Nexus Root Toolkit wasn't working for 4.2.2. I (and probably others) kept getting the "adb offline" error even after allowing USB debugging between the device and PC. Point is, if you're on 4.2.2 with a locked bootloader, you'll need to unlock and root using ADB commands. I don't know how many people have this issue but if someone requests it, I'll just post the steps on how to unlock and root 4.2.2 jelly bean using the ADB commands.
Re: [Q]Manually updated to 4.2.2... Now locked out of adb and recovery. Help
What if I'm on 4.2.2 completely stock but with an unlocked boot loader. I get the adb offline message when I try to root using a toolkit. How would I go about rooting?

Place su.zip on sdcard. Reboot in fastboot mode, probably volume up+down+power. In terminal on pc, fastboot boot cwm.img for your device, install zip from sdcard.

1. Download the SuperSU.zip from here: http://download.chainfire.eu/282/SuperSU/CWM-SuperSU-v0.98.zip and place it on your device in the sdcard. I'm assuming you already enabled USB debugging.
2. Download the recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.1.0-grouper.img from here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/v4hjsb4lse3dwtc/cwm6010touch_INSTALL.zip and place it in the platform-tools folder. Assuming you know where it's located on your PC
3. Locate the "platform-tools" folder on your PC, open it, and press Shift + Right Click & Open the command prompt there.
4. Type in the command "Adb reboot bootloader"
5. Then type in the command "fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.1.0-grouper.img"
6. Now go to Recovery Mode on your Nexus and install the CWM-SuperSU-v0.98.zip from there.
7. Reboot the device once you're done and you have a rooted Nexus 7 via adb. Hope this helps.

[Q] twrp recovery not flashing

so i tried to flash twrp 2.5 instead of cwm, first through goo manager, and that didnt work. it said that the recovery was installed, but i booted into recovery and it was still cwm. then i tried it with fastboot, that didnt work either. any way to get around this? i even tried to erase revovery but that didnt work either. i checked if fastboot was working by doing the ./adb devices, and it said it was working, so idk what to do now.
thanks

no, you wont be able to restore it via twrp. you can flash the stock factory img and become completely stock through fastboot. its 3 or four words only, and the files of course. but if you would want to restore your cwm backup, probably installing cwm recovery would do the trick.

Files all courupted
With stock recovery you can't use adb sideload in windows 10.
If you're unlocked i would flash Codeworkx TWRP, download the OOS 5.0.1 Full Rom Zip, boot into TWRP, copy the zip to your phone or sideload the zip.
If you're not unlocked (and thus being unable to flash twrp) use windows 7 and sideload the zip.
You can download ADB drivers here
Can you boot? Turn on USB debugging , make sure that you allow the device when booted.
Do an advanced devices when in the OS make sure it's there.
Then you can install a TWRP recovery and do what you need to.

be sure your bootloader is unlocked
turn your phone into fastboot
open command prompt to the folder your twrp is in.
rename the twrp image file to recovery.img
do the following command: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
after that boot into recovery
press adb sideload
on the computer, open command prompt to the folder where your zip file is in.
rename the rom zip file to rom.zip
do the following command: adb sideload rom.zip
done!

Cannot adb to the phone in FASTBOOT. adb devices shows nothing when in FASTBOOT, but shows the device when in normal boot.
Hence I cannot upgrade TWRP from 3.2.1-1 to 3.2.3-0. Was trying this so to upgrade from beta23 to the beta 26, now 27 with which 3.2.1-1 seems to have problems.
A 2nd approach, just re-installing beta23 without Magisk18 gives the stock recovery which manages the beta27 install. But then I'm blocked from a Magisk18 install and still cannot use FASTBOOT mode to put TWRP back on.
Thought the adb drives could be old and sought new drivers, even assuming your link is to the most current I don't know how to get my Windows7 to use the zip file. Can you assist? This would let me put the latest TWRP, hence install Magisk18 and be rooted again!

Z17S (NX595J) Unlock Bootloader & TWRP

Hi, I'm new to this phone. Just got it 1 week ago. I tried to find any related information on the bootloader unlock and custom recovery, but it is very limited. I think maybe this phone is not well known. I would appreciate if someone can provide me the way to unlock bootloader, flash TWRP and roots. I can't live without magisk and viper4android. Thanks.
Here ya go,
1. Download and install minimal fastboot adb
2.Download TWRP rename it Recovery and move it to minimal fastboot adb folder
3. Unlock bootloader, in fastboot enter the following code : fastboot oem nubia_unlock NUBIA_NX595J
4. then also in fastboot: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
5. you may need to format data in TWRP to get it to boot up !
Enjoy your new life !

Hi, I've tried numerous timed and it always won't pick up the command of unlocking bootloader. It always stay in the fastboot menu. I've toggled the 'OEM Unlock' function in the developer setting, as well as the USB debugging. Any idea why the device won't pick up that command?
Is it changing to unlock after you enter the command?
If so flash twrp then boot into recovery ...

Nope. It doesn't respond to the command in the fastboot. It just shows the fastboot menu. My adb is written 'waiting for device.... '.

I'm having the problem. Unlock is not sticking to unlock. The unlock works and the flash works but as soon as you try and reboot into recovery it hangs at a blank screen no twrp. Console says waiting for device and stuck. next time I go into bootloader it says locked. The count is 3 for unlock count is there a limit? 7-6-18 Nubia Z17 NX591J WIn 10.

Trouble shoot and experiment with the process it will work, even if it appears not locked after reboot

I don't understand? Appears not locked? It is locked. Now I remember when I flashed my Star N997 the developer said that there is a unlock bit that has to be turned on in the process of unlocking. I think this may be the case here since it unlocks until a reboot. I am deep concerned that after a unlock count of 3 the phone will not boot anymore. Do you know anything about these things? Another thought is does the USB C need different drivers and should it be plugged into a USB 3.0 outlet?
TWRP will flash only when it's unlocked so even if it's saying it's locked go by what you can do with TWRP

I did it several times and never had a problem
i was looking for camera.apk file from Nubia Z17S phone from Stock ROM, can anyone upload it here..it should be located in system / app or app-pvt folder, you can copy using Root Explorer tool.
pls. let me know...
I'm having problems unlocking the bootloader. Has anyone got the proper TWRP for this phone? I can't find it. The one I have says FAILED (remote: Requested download size is more than max allowed). Thanks
hello links no longer works. Someone could give me back the TWRP and minimalb fastboot adb
For anyone's information, TWRP will not boot in recovery while the phone is being charged. Unplug first. You will just get a black screen.
i am also experiencing the same issue.. where can i find the drivers for this phone nx595j? or how do i uninstall the drivers for it?

Fastboot help

I have recently unlocked the bootloader on the Note 7 with success and want to install a custom ROM. But the problem I'm facing is that whenever the phone is in fastboot mode, running the "adb devices" command, the phone doesn't show up at all. When the phone is booted into MIUI with USB Debug enabled, the phone is listed. I have tried multiple computers, the stock USB cable, multiple USB ports, resetting the phone but the phone just will not show up on the "adb devices" list when it's in fastboot. Any suggestions on what to do next? I really want to install a custom ROM and root, etc....

try to reinstall the adb drivers on your pc. You can also install a twrp recovery so you can flash roms, root or whatever you want even from your phone

I've done that too, I've downgraded ADB Drivers as well and nothing has worked. Also, I can't install TWRP if the phone doesn't even show up on my computer to flash the custom recovery

Go in Device Manager in your pc and look for "ADB Interface". If there isnt your android device then you havent installed drivers properly so go check

Isn't that intended? You should use fastboot commands, not ADB commands...
What is the output of
Code:
fastboot devices
?

If there isnt your computer isnt actually seeing it as an adb device

Okay so, I ran that command and it does show up in the list thankfully. But now I have another problem. I can't boot into the recovery. I try the fasboot boot command and it just restarts normally and for some reason, doing volume up and power doesn't enter the recovery either.

I'm not sure you can reboot to recovery from fastboot.
Some people tell you can launch "fastboot reboot recovery" but it is not a standard command and does not work for me.
In fastboot you can boot the recovery image file with
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
Change recovery.img with your recovery file.
Keeping it simply, can you reboot normally and reboot to recovery via adb? With "adb reboot recovery"
Fastboot is the way to flash anything
Your phone don't have to get recognized by adb, it's more for sideload or apk installation. To flash recovery, you need fastboot.
Try fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (recovery.img should be in the same folder as fastboot.exe)
Is there any news? I have a similar problem:
I boot in fastboot mode and I run `fastboot oem device-info` to check status:
Code:
$ fastboot oem device-info [15:20:59]
(bootloader) Verity mode: true
(bootloader) Device unlocked: true
(bootloader) Device critical unlocked: true
(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: false
OKAY [ 0.001s]
Finished. Total time: 0.001s
And it seems ok.
Now I try
Code:
$ fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
and it stuck there and it don't do anything.
I tried different PCs and different cables, nothing make it works!
Normally it only lasts some seconds...
What should I try?
Thanks in advance
