I was able to flash an EVGA ROM successfully and also Shaky156's CWM recovery. Primary reason was to get rid of Chinese notifications completely. Problem is that I cannot get the 1.1 OTA update to install because of the CWM recovery. I tried to flash stock recovery via fastboot but was not successful. Tried different versions even the BAT_CWM_recovery but it won't accept any except Shaky's version. Also tried the Super Tool but it won't recognize the tablet. I have previously installed the SDK and can get fastboot to run. Will try version 1.5 if it works.

Always erase the partition beforehand.
fastboot erase boot
then... as an example
fastboot flash boot boot.img
or
fastboot erase recovery
then... as an example
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Make sure you are cautious never to loose fastboot ability. Other words if your bootloader can't be obtained from restarting and hold buttons down, then make sure you don't restart till you get a successful flashing. Always have the system ADB enabled and certified with the computer.

Did what you said but still no stock recovery installed. When I reboot after erasing the old recover and flashing the stock instead of going to recovery it just boots up. Looks like the recovery never gets flashed. I did check if the tablet is being recognized by the computer before any flashing. After flashing the stock recovery it says okay so I don't know what's happening.

Yes, tablet is unlocked. Says so when I boot into the bootloader. I have flashed Shaky's CWM and it installed fine. Don't know why the tablet does not like the stock recovery. Even tried BAT-cwm recovery but also failed to install. I'll just have to wait for someone to come up with a flashable ROM if the Kitkat update comes around.

Do your best to get Bat_recovery for the recovery parititon and the 4.3.1 boot.img for the boot partition, shared on my Tegra Note Discoveries thread. Never flash the bootloader partition unless you are really know what you're doing. Then possible flash the system partition with Tom's system.img with;
fastboot erase system
fastboot flash system system.img
Tom's image should patch and is an English styled setup so you get all the Google Apps, etc.

Here's what I did:
1. Erased the system and flashed the 4.3plus system zip.
2. Erased the boot image and flashed the 4.3plus boot image.
3. Erased the recovery and flashed the bat recovery.
4. Rebooted and got stuck on the Tegra Note screen. (flashing on and off).
Tried to experiment and flashed another boot image and this time got stuck on the Tegra Note screen but this time it was not flashing on and off. Turned it off but nothing happened, Pressed the key combination to boot to the bootloader mode but failed. I thought I bricked it and then tried to go the the apx mode and was successful. This time I pressed the bootloader key combination and thankfully was successful. I thought I bricked the tablet.
Is there a way to flash the 4.2.2 ROM? Read somewhere that someone flashed the old ROM and the stock recovery. Once done he was able to update to 4.3plus. I thought there was a flashable 4.2.2 ROM at rootjunky.com but when I clicked on the link I got an error message saying that the file does not exist. I asked the poster where he got the ROM and recovery but never got a reply.
I'll try to flash the 4.3 ROM back

Don't know how to do that.
I've managed to flash a 4.2.2 ROM (tried the deodex version first) but not the stock recovery. Funny thing is that only Shaky156's version can be flashed. The big problem with the ROM is that there's no wifi and that sucks big time. It means I can't update the the firmware. Will try to flash the odex version and see the wifi works. There's no access to the files too. Good thing the bluetooth works.

The no wifi problem is endemic of a broken/mismatched boot.img to system version. Get an original (eg EVGA version) boot.img not a modified rooted version, since SuperSU sideloaded will give proper root later on top of an original boot.img.
I have boot.img shared on Tegra Note Discovery thread.
Try using rootjunkie supertool and get new kit kat or flash another ROM very easy to use

No luck. I tried what e8hfff suggested but still got no wifi. I used to have a Korean version of the Galaxy S3 and I could flash the modded ROMS made for the international version only if it is converted. Some guy came up with a converter and you flash it after you have flashed the modded ROM. We might have to get something similar if we want to flash EVGA ROMs.
Right now I'm not that concerned with getting the Kitkat update since there's something wrong with it (write to SD card). Once they have come up with an update to correct the bug then I'll give it another try. SO for now, I'll stick to the 4.3 ROM.

I was running stock 4.1.1 rooted with NO cwm and I accepted the OTA undate two days ago. Now, I have SU still installed but nothing can obtain root permissions. I used Wugz toolkit to reflash su binaries through TWRP a few times and still no dice. Any thoughts?

Every time I reboot into recovery from the bootloader after flashing any recovery (except stock), it fails to boot into recovery. What happens is it shows the Google/Unlocked screen for a couple seconds, goes black (this is where it should enter recovery), but then shows the Google screen again and boots normally. I have tried this with two CWM recoveries and a TWRP recovery, both plugged into a computer and not. when flashing recovery it says OKAY. It seems as if something has gotten corrupted.
Before updating to 4.1.2 everything was working. To get the 4.1.2 update to install, I had to revert back to stock recovery and also revert back to the stock wallet app. Now 'su' is still a command, but it does not do what it is supposed to and no apps have root.

You can just root again and you will have root access.
I lost root too, so I just opened wugtoolkit and hit root. no unlock needed so no loss of programs either.

Any news about this. I stay in the same problem.
Here's my experience:
Stock ROM, rooted, custom kernel.
Got the notification for the 4.1.2 OTA update, so I did a nandroid backup in TWRP. Then I flashed back to the stock recovery and boot.img.
I was thinking that I might lose root, based on other's problems. Looked into installing Root Keeper by Voodoo. In the description it said the same feature is built into SuperSU. Problem was it's built into the paid version, which I didn't have (discovered this after it was too late). Installed 4.1.2 OTA. I lost root. My bootloader was updated to 3.41. I also was not able to flash a recovery. Fastboot flash would not work, Wugs toolkit didn't work. Tried several methods. After reading several threads that have been pretty active for the last few days, here's what finally worked for me. Found it in another thread, which I can't find at the moment.
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-grouper-3.34.img from the JRO03D factory image
fastboot flash recovery TWRP img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
TWRP recovery started up :laugh:.
flashed SuperSU to re-root, it was sucessful.
updated busybox binaries.
installed OTA rootkeeper, so hopefully this won't happen again.
I'm not really sure I want to try flashing the 3.41 bootloader.
What a pain in the A.
Now it's time to flash faux kernel.

Cuz i updated my device throught Kies (cuzz from the device itself it didnt allow, stating that the image has been modifyied :angel: ) and after that even with the persistent mode on Super SU the root is gone
I was running TWRP with the franco kernel and stock rom on my nexus 4 4.2.2. When I got my OTA update notification, I did the needful and reverted back to stock rom and un rooted the phone using wugs root kit. Like wise the update was successful and I went about restoring all the backup's i created using wugs root kit 1.6.4.
Now the issue is after all this when I went about rooting the thus phone, I faced horrors for which I couldn't find exact answers on this forum. I want to flash TWRP 2.6 and to do that I went into fastboot and tried to flash it, but i keep getting an error saying "cannot load recovery.img: No error. And when I do try into get into the stock recovery then I get an image of fallen droid with a red exclamation mark and a message saying "No Command". Can anyone tell me what is the issue and how can i fix/workaround it..
Thank You:good:
EDIT: when I get the no command "fallen android" when i select recovery from the bootloader on pressing power+vol up does give me acces to the stock recovery. But even on using wug's 1.6.6 root kit I'm unable to root the device and install a custom recovery

I would try to flash the full stock google image with fastboot and see what happens ?
Using fastboot to flash the recovery definitely works as I've done it, just have to make sure you use the right command:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Make sure you're using the correct filename of the recovery image you have, I prefer to rename mine recovery.img so I can't get it wrong. Also make sure you're not putting recovery.img.img - sounds silly but people do do it!

Nope did the same thing! gives me the cannot load error, I just copy pasted the filename so can't go wrong there. And a stock rom flash is an option but the thing is i don't have a custom recovery nor root access for titanium backup don't wanna spend time again personalizing. I'm sure there is a simpler way.
All,
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. I have a Nexus 4 that I rooted and installed CWM recovery on, but I never installed any new kernels, ROMs, or radios. I'm currently on 4.4.4 and I want to upgrade to Lollipop. The OTA upgrade failed. So I tried returning to stock recovery and doing both the OTA and adb sideloading the OTA zip. Both fail.
The error message is "Package expects build fingerprint of google/occam/mako:4.4.4/KTU84P/1227136:user/release-keys or google/occam/mako:5.0/LRX21T/1576899:user/release-keys; this device has google/occam/mako:4.4/KRT160/907817:user/release-keys." (But I definitely have 4.4.4 on my phone, not 4.4.0.)
The extra difficulty is that I really, really do not want to wipe my phone. I have a lot of apps with a lot of configuration and other user data. So is there anything I can do? I guess I should try unrooting somehow? Or is there some other zip I can download that, through some type of recovery, will install the OTA without doing this check and also without wiping me?
Thanks again!

OTA wants complete stock and obviously it doesn't think so about your phone. One option could be to back up to the cloud or some place outside the phone with TiBu (or whatever backup app you trust), then flash lollipop and try restore from TiBu. Another option would be to unroot (Supersu has an option to completely unroot), then retry.
Actually, I figured out what works! This was on a stock rooted device with stock recovery, but I bet it would work with custom recovery too. Instructions modified from https://pay.reddit.com/r/nexus4/comments/1qny3f/howto_update_your_stock_w_lte_nexus_4_without/ .
1. Download the image you want from https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images . Extract it, extract the .zip file inside it too, and collect all of the .img files into one folder.
2. adb reboot bootloader (and wait until the bootloader comes up)
3. fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-mako-makoz30f.img (or whatever file has a similar name, if you got a different image than I did)
4. fastboot reboot-bootloader (and wait until the bootloader comes back up)
5. fastboot flash radio radio-mako-m9615a-cefwmazm-2.0.1701.04.img (or whatever file has a similar name, if you got a different image than I did)
6. fastboot reboot-bootloader (and wait until the bootloader comes back up)
7. fastboot flash boot boot.img
8. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
9. fastboot flash system system.img
10. fastboot format cache
11. fastboot reboot
12. Don't panic unless you've seen the startup animation for at least 15 minutes without anything else happening.
I lost root, but I imagine re-custom-recoverying and re-rooting won't be any harder than the first time around.
Hi moriarty00,
I'm going to try the same procedure, thank you for posting this.
Can you confirm that your data and app are safe after the upgrade?

1. Download the image you want from https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images . Extract it, extract the .zip file inside it too, and collect all of the .img files into one folder.
2. adb reboot bootloader (and wait until the bootloader comes up)
3. fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-mako-makoz30f.img (or whatever file has a similar name, if you got a different image than I did)
4. fastboot reboot-bootloader (and wait until the bootloader comes back up)
5. fastboot flash radio radio-mako-m9615a-cefwmazm-2.0.1701.04.img (or whatever file has a similar name, if you got a different image than I did)
6. fastboot reboot-bootloader (and wait until the bootloader comes back up)
7. fastboot flash boot boot.img
8. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
9. fastboot flash system system.img
10. fastboot format cache
11. fastboot reboot
12. Don't panic unless you've seen the startup animation for at least 15 minutes without anything else happening.
I lost root, but I imagine re-custom-recoverying and re-rooting won't be any harder than the first time around.

Wow, a 12-step program
I simply rolled back my changes, and applying the OTA was as simple as pressing the "restart and install" button Here are some steps:
I used the app Flashify from Play Store to flash stock 4.4.4 recovery. I downloaded the stock factory image from google's own site (this one), used 7zip to extract the archives (tgz and tar), found "recovery.img" and transfered that to my phone. Then chose that file in Flashify.
Uninstalled all apps that made system changes, like Xposed framework and mods, BetterBatteryStats etc.
Removed Root with SuperSU cleanup function
Rebooted for good measure and apply OTA from notification - wait an hour or two for it to complete
Profit (do we still say that on the internet? Getting old here...)
I don't know if certain ways to get root will break the OTA. I used towel-root, and apparently SuperSU was able to undo that completely.

Hi moriarty00,
I'm going to try the same procedure, thank you for posting this.
Can you confirm that your data and app are safe after the upgrade?

Yup, perfectly safe! Just make sure not to flash other images, like userdata.img.

OTA wants complete stock and obviously it doesn't think so about your phone. One option could be to back up to the cloud or some place outside the phone with TiBu (or whatever backup app you trust), then flash lollipop and try restore from TiBu. Another option would be to unroot (Supersu has an option to completely unroot), then retry.

If I unroot with Supersu how do I get root back?

Unfortunately the steps did not work for me, maybe I had some irreversible modifications or I had followed a different rooting procedure.
Or maybe I made a mistake in the upgrading steps.
Anyway, I had to flash the whole ROM and now everything is working fine.
Hey!
Basically I have similar problem with upgrading from 4.4.4 to 5.0 using OTA. Log from TWRP says:
Package expects build fingerprint of google/occam/mako:4.4.4/KTU84P/1227136:user/release-keys or google/occam/mako:5.0/LRX21T/1576899:user/release-keys; this device has google/occam/mako:4.3/JWR66V/737497:user/release-keys.

Phone has been rooted using Nexus Root Toolkit. And as long as there wouldn't be a problem with flashing using adb and wiping all data, there is one setback... My nexus is somehow broken. Communication via USB does not work, at all. Neither phone nor PC sees other device. Certified LG service centre nearby said that it is problem with main board, so generally repair is unprofitable.
So question is: How do I update to 5.0 and then root, without USB connection to my PC?
Hey. I had rooted 5.1.1 Moto X Style and did a return to stock 5.1.1. eu version (relocked bootloader). After booted up, I received update to Marshmallow, I installed it. It worked. Later I wanted to root it, so I unlocked bootloader again and also did flash custom recovery - TWRP (twrp-2.8.7.1-clark). Later I restarted device and its was stuck on logo of Motorola. Nothing boots up.
Cant find solution for this. Thanks.
UPDATE:
Solved my issue here.
UPDATE2:
If there is problems upgrading your device to Marshmallow, I would suggest install custom ROM TruPureXMM with custom KERNEL Frankenclark. I am using this combo for long period of time and now I can suggest to others too!
Mine is having a similar issue. Mine took forever to boot at your stage because it formatted itself. Once I flashed SuperSU is where mine refused to boot. I have no idea what's going on either.
I am having the exact same issue. I updated to Marshmallow, installed TWRP (twrp-2.8.7.1-clark), flashed SuperSU and the phone hung on the Motorolla Logo at boot. I was still able to access the boot loader (holidng down the volume and the power button) and attempted to restore using http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...ndows-tool-moto-x-style-pure-edition-t3199905. I was able to restore however now my wifi does not work and therefore I cannot update to Marshmallow OTA.

You need to reflash the LP radio from the restore all file ( NON-HLOS.bin ). That should do it.
I'm having the exact same issue. I'm so glad you posted. I gave up and used the restore-to-stock tool as well, but my Wi-Fi isn't working either. What is LP radio and how do I flash it? Now that I've restored to stock, I no longer have TWRP, and because I don't have WiFi, I can't update to Marshmallow.

If you want WIFI on stock 5.1.1 you need to flash right modem for you.
You should download .zip file that contains all stock files, unzip it, and find "NON-HLOS.bin", thats modem file that you need.
Now boot into fastboot mode (power+volume down), and from PC use "fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin"
Restart device, you should be okey now.
For XT1572 "STYLE" EU you can download this file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3gPYUZ4nRLwTUU4cUVmcUtBTEU/view;
But for XT1575 "PURE" US use this file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3gPYUZ4nRLwTl9Wd1JQX0hFejg/view.
If you are using other device, use this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/development/firmware-moto-x-style-pure-stock-t3272486 to find your device, but this threads links are very slow.

Looks like you flashed SuperSU but didn't flash the boot_root.img , or you can use the systemless root.

Nop, could find solution, so I did full wipe, and restored my backup file with 5.1.1. Also flashed stock logo, boot and modem, so it can boot my old 5.1.1. Moto.
Will wait for some kind of european ROM with Marshmallow, or TWRP update. Maybe later will try again to go fully stock and upgrade to Marshmallow, maybe will find something that will work, right now I just need my "phone" back so I can use it as daily driver.
I just finished flashing TruPureXMM. I'm in the middle of restoring all my apps, and I still need to re-fix the WiFi, but otherwise my experience is working well. You might want to check that out.

For wifi you should flash modem from his thread: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24269982087017262
Its Pure modem with band 12 fix.
I was using his Rom for some hours and didnt like it, my personal opinion:
Good: easy to install; twrp, supersu, xposed is working.
Bad: modified kernel (had more problems with it, it was draining battery so fast - 4 little cores was always online for ~900-1440MHz, and 1 big core always online for same frequancy as little cores, only one big core was going idle), so I didnt like all this modifications to stock kernel, also I didnt like that mine EU version now is listed as US version XT1575, and last that I noticed after some hours of usage is that on secret menu, mine 3G network was listed as WCDMA, but on EU of mine Style same 3G is using GSM auto method. I suppose that there can be some difficulties in EU countries - after changing settings to 4G, I loosed signal, and only after restart I got it back.
Thats the main reasons why I want european rom, or to modifie stock eu MM with xposed.

I think in that case I did flash SuperSU the old way for Stock Moto Marshmallow. I then did a TWRP backup to go back to full stock and tried rooting using systemless, but something isn't right. It's showing up, apps are asking for permission, but its acting odd. The apps can't get permission and Viper for example just crashes and other apps just keep saying something is wrong. My TWRP is messed up to. It was pushed correctly, but it seems very unstable. I can't flash any ROMs and if I plug it into my computer to send a file, when I reboot it no longer shows it in my directory to install. Sometimes if I hit reboot device, it only reboots recovery or just ignores the command entirely. I think I will revert it back to moto standard and try again, but this has been a little weird.

fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
Where and how do I type this? I have everything else done.
Hi,
I followed this instructions and I have two problems:
It only boots using flashboot boot boot.img (in fact I can't do the fastboot reboot-bootloader command because the previous command just boots the phone)
There's no wifi, I tried flashing the modem linked before but I think that's for 5.1.1 so it didn't work

For this you need adb files on your PC.
You should read this thread, for how to get this files on your PC.
Then:
Basically, open terminal within adb driver folder, connect phone via USB to PC with USB Debugging ON, and you are ready to go - boot your phone into fastboot mode (shut down phone first, and then power+volume down) and now your are ready to use this command: fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin, but remember to put this "NON-HLOS.bin" file into folder where you opened terminal from.
But if you experience problems, I suggest just install TruPureXMM ROM. It whould be much easier!
Good luck!

Hello!
Have you read my other thread?
I have explained all my steps there, my device is Moto X Style (XT1572).
But I can suggest also use TruPureXMM ROM. Right now I am using this rom for about month, you could try it!
Good luck!
No luck with reflashing NON-HLOS.bin
I tried systemless root on my moto x pure marshamallow. Now the wifi is not working at all. I tried reflashing the NON-HLOS.bin but no luck there. Is there any way to solve this issue? Or should i revert back to lollipop seems like it is working just fine for others on lollipop.

Lets start from beginning.
What is your device codename (region)?
So this morning I got an update to fix the voLTE bug. I'm unlocked with twrp installed and rooted. Just for the sake of experimenting I tried installing it. Well that didn't work. Just gets stuck in twrp recovery and you have to power the phone off completely to get it to boot. I guess my question (even though it's a little early) is there a way to install the update without reverting back to stock?
EDIT: Link to the zip
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BxqNotAWlwLUQ1Fzcjc2YXd4QzA
I don't believe so.
In the past you either had to go back to stock or wait on someone to create a compatible update for rooted devices.
Can you post link to zip?
If you are rooted, you can find the zip in cache folder in recovery.
Can you add what variant and build you are using before the update? Also the build afterwards?

I got the update, but all I see on my magisk rooted G5+ in /cache/recovery are log files and the fstab files. Anywhere else to look?

Yeah I can't find anything in that folder either.
I received the update and applied it. I am not rooted.
I have the XT1687 model.
My current build number is NPN25.137-35
My device BL unlocked, TWRP installed and rooted with magisck.
I'm getting the update notification and splash screens several times daily.
Anyone rooted try installing the update with Flashfire app?

If you have systemless supersu, you should just be able to apply the update after reverting to stock recovery.
So I found where the zip downloads. I wonder what flashing it in twrp would do?

OK, so I tried flashing recovery.img from stock firmware build 33. But the OTA update will not install, instead I get an error after downloading and rebooting (red triangle at recovery mode).
So I tried fully reverting to stock firmware but I decided to skip over erasing userdata. Afterward the OTA downloaded and installed successfully. Keeping userdata does not seem to have caused an issue.
My problem now though is how to get root back without having to wipe userdata after re-flashing TWRP.
Or is this not possible and if I want to root I must first wipe userdata so that TWRP can read internal memory?

Just tried flashing it with TWRP and no luck:
Verifying current system....
E3002: Package expects build thumbprint of 7.0/NPN25.137-35/37:user/release-keys or 7.0/NPN25.137-33/35:user/release-keys; this device has .
Updated process ended with ERROR: 7
which doesn't make much sense since I rooted the stock ROM (Build number reads NPN25.137-33).
If your using a custom recovery flash the stock recovery, then go to the stock recovery and using your computer flash using adb sideboard command. I assume you already know how to do this. Hope that helps.

I'm stuck in the same boat... no idea how to flash the stock recovery and sideboard, what that even means, or if that would break root. I just followed the step-by-step "how to root" video when I first got the phone
There's a workaround to disable the "advanced LTE" or whatever it was called, so I did that. But in the meantime until a more "user friendly" means of updating is available, is there a way I can get rid of this nag screen? Way back on an earlier device (Samsung Charge?) I remember manually editing a "build.prop" file or something to match the latest version so I wouldn't keep getting the software update nag. Is there something that will do the same here, or is there a system app I can freeze in TiB?
My best guess is freezing "Moto Actions 03.022.1.4-N" because it's showing "(updated)" on the side.

What he means is you need to download the stock rom, unzip it, then boot phone to bootloader mode and connect to PC. Then flash the recovery.IMG from the stock rom folder with command prompt:
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Then you can on the phone tell it to boot to recovery mode. This will be a screen with Android on his back and the words NO Command on the bottom. Then plug to PC and use adb command to sideload the update zip like this:
adb sideload [nameofupdatefile].Zip

Strange, reflashed the stock recovery and adb can't see it (adb devices returns nothing). And when trying to install it via the normal OTA way, the stock recovery tries to install but ends with an error.
That's what happened to me when I tried reverting to stock recovery and then trying to install update from phone Settings app.
I ended up having to revert to stock rom to get ota to apply with settings app. But now I am trying to root again but after installing TWRP data is encrypted again. So looks like I will have to wipe data before re-rooting.
