4.2.2 Install Problems

After doing the update ota it reboots and takes my to cwm recovery and asks to if I want to install this untrusted zip but when I say yes it gives me an error. I am on stock kernel rooted with an unlocked bootloader.

like the million other upgrade threads, you cant update to OTA with a custom recovery....

You can download the OTA update file and install it with cwm or twrp recovery. I used cwm recovery with supersu and voodoo ota rootkeeper and installed the update, kept cwm recovery and root.

How to install using twrp?

Maybe a little more noob friendly idea. Is there an easy way to get stock recovery back? May also help those without easy access to a computer.
Is there a way to restore factory recovery using a terminal emulator?

Sorry, not sure about twrp. I've never used it, but I've seen other threads where people have used it successfully.

TWRP recovery with stock firmware

hope some one can clarify this for me.
If I flashed twrp over stock firmware, and now I want to update the firmware, I assume by flashing the full firmware it will bring back the stock recovery? What if I just flash the OTA zip?
thanks,

Both ways will bring back stock recovery, they will also make you lose root.
Just do OTA, flash the root zip from within stock recovery, install TWRP from the GOOmanager app, done.
Very easy. Just make sure you always keep the root zip on your phone. This makes rooting after an update easier.

simple enough! thanks for clearing up. BTW, for re-installing the TWRP from goomanager, is there a way to do it off-line? For the recover, the goo will download the img file and auto install for you. If I updated the firmware and can I some some how flash the already downloaded recover img without re-download it each time?
thanks again,

You're welcome, happy to help.
Should be possible, but I haven't figured that out yet. I just let it redownload...

Just to do a follow up since I just got my phone delivered yesterday which is much sooner than anticipated. Here is what I did:
1. use CASUAL to root and installed TWRP (v 2.4xx)
2. installed Goo and updated to the latest TWRP (v 2.5)
3. reboot into TWRP and flashed the full zip for the latest 0629 firmware.
4. before reboot to system, i flashed the root.zip file.
5. reboot to system, all apps and settings are retained, system is rooted. Just out of curiosity, I reboot into recovery again and it boots right into TWRP!!?
So after full firmware flash, the TWRP recovery didn't get overwritten by the stock rom.
doesn't bother me but just confused again. May be TWRP 2.5 is able to stick even after stock firmware update?

Can you guys boot into custom recovery in Android 4.3?

Hey guys I was trying to boot into the latest CWM image to install superSU in the oficial android 4.3 image, however I got stock in the bootscreen, I tried manually typing the commands as always did and using a toolkit... Maybe is it broken?

Working fine here. Installed latest TWRP then super su and root works fine.

cwm recovery boot into a blank screen...not able to see anything.

This is my game plan as well....Make sure I have the latest TWRP and Super SU before I attempt to re-root.
EDIT: I forgot, I switched from the Super SU app to the superuser app from clockworkmod a while back.
TWRP updated to 2.6.0.0
Superuser already at 1.0.1.8
re-downloaded superuser.zip (unknown version)
Ready for the 4.3 OTA.

Can you upload the SuperSu zip file you used to root?

I have exactly the same problem. Before updating to 4.3 I've booted CWM and did a nand backup.
After updating I can't boot into CWM or TWRP to flash the root zip. I get a blank screen instead of the recovery menu.
I don't want to flash a recovery, just boot like thousands times before to flash the root.zip from chainfire that works.

Same problem : I get a blank screen when booting CWM
I can connect with adb, backlights turns off after some time, and on again if I press a key.
I can boot in the recovery after flashing it !
So booting a flashed recovery from the bootloader works, but booting it with "fastboot boot" don't...

Are you by any chance experiencing that high cpu usage which causes horrible battery drain?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

Coming back to the subject of this thread, I was NOT able to boot into TWRP from fastboot using the command:
fastboot boot openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-mako.img
the n4 was starting but I was just getting a black screen.
I had to flash the recovery to my nexus 4 with:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-mako.img
and after that I was able to boot as usual to the recovery and install chainfire modified .zip to gain root in android 4.3
Any other is experiencing this problem with booting into recovery on N4 ?
On my nexus 7 I was able to boot as usual into the recovery, without flashing it

@bagl0312 How I wrote, I have exactly the same problem. I will going to flash twrp, flash root zip and flash back the stock recovery for now.
Never the less fastboot boot recovery.img does not work atm

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS....
1. DOWNLOAD "RECOVERY.ZIP".
2. U MUST HAVE mfastboot/fastboot AND adb tools EXTRACTED IN A FOLDER ON YOUR PC.

If you need your stock recovery your already rooted and have a custom recovery in place. So therefore your device has an unlocked boot loader. Flashify can flash recovery IMG without even powering into recovery.

Shield Update 2.2 is out!

http://shield.nvidia.com/tablet-release-notes/2.2/
now to figure out how to get this to update on my rooted LTE Tablet.....

I'm rooted and just got the update. But haven't completed the update yet as I'm too lazy to reroot.

I tried using the nvidia updater, which failed since it rebooted and CWM had no idea what to do. I made a CWM backup so I am going to see how well it flashes in CWM manually.
I managed to find the OTA download location and have superSU at the ready in my downloads folder in case I have to reflash. the OTA saved as:
/data/data/com.nvidia.ota/files/ROM/shield_tablet_software_upgrade_2.2_-_lte__5.0.1.zip

Someone please report the steps on how to do this for Rooted 2.1.

CWM install zip failed. build fingerprint mismatched, its probably CWM. Will try sideloading stock recovery then installing the zip afterward, I think I remember seeing somewhere here that's how people upgraded rooted devices from 2.0 to 2.1

Omg things seem to be more snappy! The dreaded lag may be gone! I'm not rooted so I did the ota install

I'm really interested in your findings, i need to find a tutorial on how to flash back stock recovery then i can do the update and hopefully reroot.

Awsome sounds good. Quick question to get stock recovery back all id have to do is extract the recovery.img file from the ota 2.1 file i downloaded off nvidia's site and load it like i did the CWM recovery from the root thread right?

Or (if you've got root) wait until the full 2.2 .zip is available, then download it and flash it through your custom recovery, followed by the latest SuperSU. (just like the last Lollipop update).
Interestingly, the OTA update tool has an option for "Check full update" (under the top right menu), but it doesn't seem to return anything...yet...

Flash Stock recovery by any preferred method

Cant we use Flashify to flash stock recovery and then updating the OTA and then reflash our recoverys and supersu.zip?

You won't be able to successfully flash the UPDATE .zip file (~94MB) on a rooted (read: modified) Lollipop version.
Recovery version is irrelevant.
You need the FULL 2.2 rom (already found above , ~731MB), flash it in your current custom recovery and re-root by flashing SuperSU again.

ok, here's what I dug up. If you are rooted and want it NOW, get to it, otherwise wait for someone to clean up the process:
get the OTA from here: https://forums.geforce.com/default/...hread-released-2-17-15-/post/4464815/#4464815
get your latest SuperSU flashable zip: http://download.chainfire.eu/396/SuperSU/
get your recovery ready for reflashing, the OTA will install the stock recovery again. I went with: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58864006&postcount=90
boot into recovery and install zip from sideload. then choose either: adb sideload productionBL-droid-signed-wx_na_do-full_ota-29979_512.4856.zip or adb sideload productionBL-droid-signed-wx_na_wf-full_ota-29979_512.4856.zip
reboot and let the upgrade happen, you've lost root and recovery, but you still are unlocked so you just have to reflash them. get into fastboot with power and volume down, then flash recovery: fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-shieldtablet.img
load up recovery and flash the superSU zip and you're back in business.

That means a rooted lollipop user with custom recovery, can download the full ota, and dirty flash it, right?
