Hello, all. I am trying to install TWRP on my VZW G2, but when I download the latest file (2.6.3.3) it's a .zip. In Flashify it is looking for a .img file. Inside the ZIP is an img file, should I extract that and then flash that? Thanks.
BTW, Loki_Flash would not work for me because it says it's not a valid Loki image, so if it's easier to solve that I'm up for that too. Thanks!
Flashify will install zip files as well

I realize that, but will it still flash it even if I have no recovery on there currently? So you're saying just to use the flash zip mode?
Yes

Try to grab the latest clock work mod. It's like 5 something now

Where can I download it from and can I just install it in recovery because that will be the only way I can update it and thank you
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using XDA
you can go to koushs clockworkmod site and find it, its 5.0.2.0 currently unless youve want to use the touch recovery which is 5.8.1.6 then you can just toss it into a PG06IMG.zip file from another recovery like the twrp recovery and flash it through bootloader like you would a radio
Thank you so much I'm about to do it now

1.) you renamed the zip to PG06IMG.zip ?
2.) youre trying to flash through bootloader and not recovery?
I renamed the file that's showing but the cwm doesn't show and I'm using recovery

it has to be flashed through the bootloader, thats your problem.
reboot the phone hold power and volume down and go into the bootloader and let it install itself
So the cwm has to go through the bootloader

yes, you have to boot into the bootloader and select yes when it asks to install
I went to the bootloader I select fastboot and then bootloader it says sd loading the file and no image

Your card may need to be formatted to fat32 in order for the zip to be recognized. Do you have sdk set up on your pc? You could just flash through fastboot..

I'm currently trying out a few kernels on my Nexus 4.
I'm currently running Franco's kernel but wanted to give Harsh's kernel a go.
Usually the kernels/roms I download are ZIP files, which work fine with TWRP, however, Harsh's kernel is an img file.
I found a previous thread that stated TWRP is compatible with img files & they can be installed fine - however - I only get the option to install a zip file. TWRP doesnt seem to be able to see an img file.
Am I doing something wrong or missing something?
Thanks.
IMG files are installed using fastboot. The command is:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Thought so...
However, this thread does kinda makes out that flashing an .img through TWRP is possible.

That's also an HTC phone.
We do not have the capability to flash .img files in recovery.

Thanks for clearing it up.
I do a lot of ROM/kernel flashing away from a PC. So its convenient just to TWRP without the need connect it the phone via USB.

oh I'm an idiot!
Just noticed that theres two download links for the Harsh Kernal. Ones a zip (for flashing in TWRP) & the others a .img.
Didnt notice the first link!! :silly:
Download CWM 5.8
Put it on your external SD card
Enter into Stock Recovery
Locate the cwm.zip file in your SD card
Flash it
Now you have CWM on stock Samsung kernel with no root and the process did not involve a PC

OK,but how did you bypass the signature verification. It always aborts for my because it's not a file signed by Samsung.

Depends on what OS version you're in... in gingerbread the recovery is locked and checks signature, on ICS or JB it doesn't.

Hi guys.
I want to update my recovery and currently have the CWM Touch recovery installed. I wanted to flash the Official TWRP recovery and was wondering if I have to revert back to the stock recovery and then install TWRP or do I just download goomanager on my phone and install TWRP from there ON TOP of the CWM I have?
Thanks
Yeah do the goomanger thing
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
You can download the latest TWRP img file and use fastboot to flash.

You can just flash the zip from your recovery..lol.. :silly:
Recently, I have been trying to install 5.0.1 update, as my phone is rooted, but every time I see "adb is out of date... killing...". I have been trying many times to update using nexus root toolkit and manual way but it doesn't work. Everything else work like putting and taking files from my phone. My phone is on LRX21T, rooted and with custom recovery (TWRP). If there is no way to fix the problem, can someone give me LRX22C flashable zip to flash the update using TWRP?

Google 15 second adb xda. That'll set up the latest version of adb and fastboot on your device. There is no flashable 22C twrp flashable zip

You'll get rid of the message if you kill "adb.exe" using Task Manager. But to flash the factory images manually you don't really need ADB. Just power it off, boot into fastboot (hold Vol- while starting it) and follow steps C and D from this guide

Download the factory image from here https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images. Extract it using 7-zip or winrar. You'll find the radio.img file and a zip file. Extract the zip file too. In there is system and boot images.
Open a command window in the first folder, the one where the radio image files is. Then
fastboot flash radio radio.img. (note user the full name of the radio image file
Then open a command window in the folder the boot and system images are in. Then
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
You'll be updated to 5.0.1
