installing update. franco kernel - possible issue? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys,
I had custom recovery installed and franco kernel r174. After I had received notification about new updated i flashed factory JWR66V recovery and boot via fastboot. But update process still fails with "Error".
Do you know what it may be? I don't want to flash the entire image as in this case I will lose all my data and settings.
I remember something about franco kernel that it needs to be uninstalled "properly" - can it be cause of the issue?

Since you're familiar with fastboot, I'd recommend flash the factory image manually. Download the factory images, extract boot.img & system.img from image-occam-JWR66Y.zip
Flash bootloader & radio (optional)
Flash boot.img, system.img
fastboot format cache
reboot.

Recovery replaced without flashing recovery image.

I manually flashed the 5.0 factory image to my 2012 WiFi Nexus 7 when it first came out and then flashed TWRP afterwards. Today I finally had time and wanted to update to 5.0.2 so I just used fastboot and flashed boot.img and system.img, to keep my data and recovery, yet somehow it replaced my recovery with the stock one.
It did this same thing on my Nexus 4 as well. How is this even possible? I flashed only boot and system and had TWRP.
It's not a problem or anything because I'll just reflash TWRP, I just wonder how it happens?

You can try this, it's the stock us996 images. Flash the boot and system IMG through TWRP. You should be back to stock https://build.nethunter.com/misc/us996/v10d/?C=N&O=D
I will try it.

Thank you for your help.
I will try it. I am trying download, the download session is disconnected every time. but I am trying again.
Do you know how to return recovery to stock?
I think that TWRP is not stable.
I am looking for recovery.img, the image is not uploaded extra folder on that site.

Sure no problem. What version of TWRP did you have when you were trying to flash the imgs through TWRP.
I didn't try through TWRP.

I didn't try through TWRP. I flashed by fastboot command. TWRP 3.0.2.0 is not show system partition when install IMG. So I used fastboot command (ex, fastboot flash system system.img).
After complete flash by fastboot and reboot, the phone can't boot system. but the phone was not boot into recovery.
So, I re-flash deodex system(zip) by TWRP and reboot, completed boot to system.
Do you understand? (I'm not good at English very well)
Thanks for your help. Merry christmas.

Cannot boot stock kernel

Hello, I want to switch from Franco to Elemental X kernel, I read that first I must go back to stock kernel.
Here's what I do:
1) download factory image angler-n2g47w-factory-bd87661a.zip
2) unzip factory image
3) unzip image-angler-n2g47w.zip
4) copy boot.img into fastboot directory
5) adb reboot-fastboot
6) fastboot flash boot boot.img
When I reboot the phone stucks on first page with the google logo and the lock at the bottom of the page.
Fortunately I can go back to twrp, reinstall franco kernel, reboot the phone and everything works fine.
Can someone please help meto find out why I cannot boot stock kernel?
Thank you in advance
Dirty flash your rom together with stock boot.img, or do a factory reset.
Dirty flash is not working, before factory reset I need a backup.

Backup with twrp, unpack the zip in the factory image, wipe system and caches with twrp, flash boot, system and vendor.img with twrp from the unpacked zip. Why does dirty flashing isn't working?
Edit: your bootloader is unlocked, right? You didn't relocked

Dirty flash the whole stock image.
Remove the -w from the flash_all script. It is the option to tell fastboot to wipe and you don't want a wipe of data.
I dirty flash like this for stock all the time.
Thanks I will give it a try ??

Dirty Flashing ROM (pure nexus by the way) and boot.img from stock cause a bootloop
and I never relocked bootloader I will try flashing boot+system+vendor.img
OK, as you wrote before I thought u are on stock rom with Franco kernel, now it's pn. A bit confusing, if u are planning to switch between roms a clean flash is always recommended.

Extract all the angler images from the OTA and fastboot flash them via your PC by connecting your phone to it and entering bootloader mode. Flash one at a time. These include system, recovery, vendor, boot etc

Help needed, ze552kl bootloop after flashing without uninstall magisk

Last working state :
1. Android O version WW-15.0410.1803.55
2. Bootloader unofficial unlocked
3. Rooted with magisk
Reason for flashing :
Update to latest Oreo then re-root but flashing failed due to magisk not being uninstalled first
Current state :
1. Able to enter fastboot
2. Twrp is intact
3. Magisk uninstalled using twrp
Actions already taken :
1. Uninstall magisk via TWRP
2. Re-flash WW-15.0410.1803.55 via TWRP
3. Wipe dalvik/cache
4. Factory reset via twrp swipe
Still stuck in bootloop
I'm thinking of flashing Oreo stock recovery prior to reflash Oreo firmware via Asus flash tool. Found Oreo stock recovery image from 15.04.10.1711.6. Is this usable? (Edit : found suitable version and bunch of other versions, big thanks to Iceboy91 on following thread : https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-3/help/request-stock-recovery-boot-img-stock-t3763381 )
But before I do anything even more stupid, I need your advise on correct next moves, guys.

Will Asus FT run properly on TWRP i/o stock recovery? Last time I did it booted to TWRP and I can't proceed. Kindly confirm if it's possible and I'll give it another try. I am left with another option which is flashing corresponding stock recovery and boot image.
To save your time from trial and error recovering from similar problem, here's what I do.
Issues :
1. Flashing raw on stock with TWRP stuck on eternal 'unzip image'
2. Flashing raw on stock ROM with stock recovery and wipe data OFF was successfull but could not enter system (stuck on Asus logo with circling progress).
Also unable to enter stock recovery at this point.
Steps taken to recover from bootloop :
1. Flash corresponding recovery and boot image to replace TWRP (BE CAREFUL WITH SOFTWARE VERSION)
2. Firstly, flash basic Oreo RAW firmware which can only boot to fastboot found on this post : https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-3/how-to/updated-unlock-relock-bootloader-t3749456
3. Flash full RAW Oreo firmware found on the very same post mentioned on #2, but with WIPE DATA SELECTED.
Note : Step 2 might be skippable, up to you to try
Hey ,
If you wanna upgrade to latest Oreo update, just follow these steps (most of the users did not report any kind of bootloop)
1) Flash stock recovery
2) Sideload the latest firmware .zip
3) Reboot and flash TWRP & Magisk
Link for stock recovery/boot images by @shakalaca :
https://mega.nz/#F!lw02CLpA!hpetR2-Sec1F__gHPNRE9Q!E09B3BbA
If anything happens, RAW firmware is there for you
Note: Do not remove/uninstall Magisk via TWRP. Flashing latest update will remove Magisk automatically.
Thanks for the tip, my problem has been solved, but better solution is certainly welcomed. Will do when caught in the same situation.
Here is what I do:
Skip automatic update and do it manually through TWRP.
First flash update then reinstall latest magisk in order within TWRP.
Reboot.

AFT just needs working fastboot.
Flashing raw via aft will restore all stuff to stock state.
Twrp will be replaced by stock recovery too.
I wouldn't recommend flashing stock zip via twrp.
Another way to get back to. Stock is to replace twrp by stock recovery (after wiping data, cache, system). Then flash boot.img and finally use update via SD card option from the newly installed stock recovery.
Also you can take twrp backup of stock rom (system, data, boot) and restore whenever you want to go to stock (after wiping system, data and cache).
All methods tried and tested.
