My rooted/TWRP Nexus 10 w/ Super SU is stuck in a bootloop after receiving the OTA update.
I've tried the following:
Running Wug's and sideload the 4.4 update
Errors:
I was unable to get to the android with red exclamation point, even with Wug's.
I've looked around XDA and unfortunately either my searching capabilities are limited or I cannot find this exact problem that someone else had and fixed.
Does anyone have a suggestion on how I can fix this?
I have access to Wug's and the device has the TWRP 2.6.0.0 recovery.
What my screen looks like now after trying to sideload for 20 minutes:

In order to sideload you will need to use factory recovery.img
There are several open threads iin this subforum already open that spell out in exact detail the process.
In a nutshell you will replace your recovery with 4.3 factory.img, boot to bootloader and go to new factory recovery and the dead droid and then sideload from there the OTA package

I found the problem with files not transferring, I was using my phone USB cable instead of the Nexus 10 one. Unfortunately, I had to use Wug's and flash + unroot to get my device back. Although I can almost guarantee there was another way without losing the data partition. Anyway, I've now rooted my device and backup is restoring. The only thing I lost was my pictures, movies, themes, tones, saved pinball high scores, etc. It's quite a big loss so I think I will read up before applying the OTA next time and do some data backups.

Hello everyone!
Actually I am on stock Android, version 4.3, without root, bootloader onlock, etc. So it's untouched.
Now I would like to flash the following mod:
[MOD][NEXUS 4][4.3 + 4.2.2][DEODEX + ODEX][STOCK ROM] 1% Battery Mod
I want to do it with Mobile ODIN Pro. Before that, I was planing to root my Nexus with the Nexus Root Toolkit.
Do I need to unlock the bootloder as seen in the screenshot? Or is just a root sufficient?

Thank you very much in advance!
Does Mobile Odin even work with the Nexus 4? I was under the impression it mostly for Samsung products.
Why not root, install custom recovery and flash with custom recovery?
I want to get the OTA updates from google. It is not possible with a custom recovery. Is there another away? I just need this one mod.
Take the SystemUI.apk out and manually replace each battery icon in the correct folder.

Do I need a root for it? (noob question)
I read something about a possibility to load into recovery, install things and after a reboot the recovery should be deleted automatically. Or did I get something wrong?

You will need root to get to SystemUI.apk (you might be able to pull with ADB but I'm not 100% sure.
A custom recovery will not delete itself.
You can't replace the ROM installed at time of locking with another or you get a black screen. And I don't think mobile Odin is for nexus 4 being a Samsung program.

You can also use the toolkits to bring up a custom recovery temporarily without actually flashing it, so you can keep your stock recovery.

I rooted it, flashed a custom recovery and installed the mod. If google releases an update, I will flash it manually. No need for OTA Updates.
Thank you very much!

Follow this thread to restore your phone to stock.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45293512
This will wipe everything (including internal SD card) and return your phone to the same state as if you were pulling it out of the box for the first time.
Not exactly... After this method the phone status remains "rooted" when booted in download mode. Couple of users reported this problem...

That tool does not unroot your phone. All it does it trip the root flag so when you boot into download mode it says unrooted. It is meant to be used so that if you take your phone into your carriers store and an associated wants to check if its rooted, it will say its unrooted when the associate puts it in download mode, but it is in fact still rooted. This DOES NOT unroot the phone.

Sure. But after you flash kdz file with flashtool the phone isn't rooted anyway, although in DLM it states "rooted"...
As I undrstand it, somehow after you flash kitkat kdz it misses some files and status "rooted" appears in DLM. Explained here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2703501

Interesting. I never had that happen when I used it. I'll keep an eye on this thread in case something's happens. Thanks for sharing.
Hello all, I was given this old droid razr m today. It was currently running android 4.1.2 with the build 9.8.1q-78. I rooted it with towelroot and tried to unlock the bootloader (which failed), so I resorted to safestrap.
On safestrap I tried flashing this one rom which apparently didn't work on safestrap. I forgot to wipe. After I flashed the rom, I rebooted. The bootloader said this:
Code:
Failed to hab check for boot: 0x56
Fastboot Reason: Boot Failure
Status code was 8 or something.
I tried flashing VZW_XT907_4.1.2-9.8.1Q-66_1FF.xml.zip from here but it failed:

I'm stuck here. I can still go into the stock recovery.
Thanks, any help is appreciated.
It looks like it failed because you tried to downgrade. You need to flash firmware that's is the same as yours or newer. Since you need to flash the same or newer, flash the 4.4 firmware, root with Towel Root, and unlock with Motopocalypse (yes, it is possible to unlock on the latest OTA).

Alright, thanks. I'm downloading the 4.4 firmware now. I'll report back with the results.
It won't let me link an image so, http puu.sh / bkzAY / 207f945b1d.png
Probably not a good sign.
EDIT: Removed the offending line from the xml file and reloaded it... it flashing now.
EDIT2: It fails.

EDIT3: Flashing system.img manually worked. It's booting now!
Good to see things worked out.

Hi all, well I think I have all but fubarred my 16gb shield tv. I unlocked bootloader, installed twrp and rooted, all was working fine. Then I decided to flash the full android rom that is on the forum . before doing so, i used twrp and made a backup. I installed the full android rom, although it seemed to work fine, i was not crazy about it and decided to go back to the original OS, so I booted up in twrp and went to the restore function, there were no backups to restore , I guess when I installed the system img for the full android it erased my backup somehow. anyway, moving right along, I next went to nvidia website and downloaded the restore image for the 16gb shield tv, i booted in to bootloader and was following the instructions to restore the shield. all seems to go fine until I try to flash the system img, then I get the error "invalid sparse file format at unknown block 0000" it tries to continue but fails, afterwards the system will not boot at all, I can get back to twrp recovery an flash the full android rom just fine, but am not able to flash back the original os without that error. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, as I am stuck at this point as what to attempt next. thanks
Here is an image of the error I get, I am no longer able to write to the system partition,

Just going to go out on limb here, but are you sure the downloaded image isn't corrupted? You could try to download it again, if available do a MD5 hash check to verify it downloaded correctly and then retry flashing it.

Are there any custom recoveries out there for our s7 edge t mobile? I have it rooted now but are there any recoveries? I have been searching and had no luck.
Nope

No there arent. To flash stuff you need to download flashfire from the play store. It works just like twrp but it's a app. When you want to flash something you will select the plus sign in the bottom right corner and select zip. It's super easy to use
Thought i had found a recovery for some odd reason, and it was def. Exynos twrp. There a way to flash the stock recovery img? Im thinking of flashing through flashfire but im afraid after flashing it actually wouldnt wipe since there seems to be no recovery, only a download mode menu, whilst saying recovery booting.

I personally haven't tried but if you want to risk bricking go for it. If it's any comfort, I doubt anything will happen. Worse case scenario is that it installs, you trip Knox and unable to mount the system partition and won't be able to boot it up. But even then... Odin should still be possible. But again... I wouldn't risk it. I'm fairly sure that it's been tried. There is a QC version of the recovery somewhere that never worked via Odin back in June or so.
I personally was the first to attempt flashing twrp via flashfire. it will not work. DM-Verity kicks in and will not allow it to load. you get a BRIEF flicker of twrp loading up and it loads the failed integrity check. the good news was i was able to flash the stock files and got it loading again with no KNOX trip or errors.
