[Q] Custom Recovery information needed,

Hello,
I have nexus 10, rooted with custom recovery, it says clockworkmod recovery v6.0.1.6. Anyhow, when Google send the update for 4.4 it doesn't get installed when i click on it, the device restarts and goes into recovery and the installation is aborted.
I tried finding the solution some said i could directly flash the update through custom recovery. Can I though. I am really not good at all this, i rooted it a long ago.
Thanks.

OTA won't work on a custom recovery. You will have to be 100% stock to take the update or you can get the stock rooted version here at XDA in the development forums.

[q] to install update on rom omni 4.4.2 n7100

Hello,
Anyone could help me with this problem:-
I have already rooted my Note 2 N7100 with Omni 4.4.2 Nightly but somehow, on software update, with an update available after checking it, I was unable to flash it successfully. There was an error. I have checked SuperSU as to install SuperSu backup script as I believe it would help me to do update on the current build but I could not do that as it requires installing SuperSu into/system (converting into a system app) first but when I have tried to install and later rebooted my device, it was still the same. On Custom Rom, I could not install supersu backup script and when trying to flash update (after checking it and update is available, it was again not successful.
Any advice?

Flash SuperSU in recovery and then you should be able to install the backup script.

first install stock recovery and flash update
all OP said that to flash CM update you should be on stock recovery.

Those who have rooted their devices before cannot install 122mb manual update or 128mb ota update. Either flash stock lollipop and then flash the update via ota or manually or install 643Mb zip file directly to your present os.

[Q] Unable to install TWRP Recovery after CM12 YNG1TAS1K0 update

Hello Folks!!!
I was on a Rooted Stock 5.0.2 CM12 ROM with TWRP recovery, when I got the notification for an OTA update (YNG1TAS1K0). I found out that we had to flash stock recovery to install the update, so I did that, but the OTA update wouldn't install and kept throwing error saying something like "unable to update /sideload/". After multiple attempts, I finally flashed the whole ROM (cm-12.0-YNG1TAS1K0-tomato-signed.zip) via the stock recovery, and now I am on the latest stock build (YNG1TAS1K0). Unfortunately, I am stuck on the stock recovery now. Whenever I try to flash the TWRP recovery (TWRP 2.8.6.0 for Lollipop), it goes into bootloop. I have temporarily flashed stock recovery again to make my phone usable again, but I would really like to flash TWRP again and root it. Any advice/suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks. :highfive:

remove battery after install recovery before restarting phone

Rooting a Moto G4 Android 6.0.1

Hi,
I originally posted this over at android central where I was told it is not possible to root a Moto G4, so I am trying here hoping for a different answer = )
I am attempting to install Cyanogenmod on my handset using the below guide:
Install_CM_for_peregrine (looks like I can't post link but that is the name of the page on he Cyanogenmod site)
I have unlocked the handset, copied the Cyanogenmod zip file to my sdcard, booted in recovery mode and attempted to install the zip package. At this point I get an error "E:failed to verify whole-file signature". I have tried both the stable and nightly build with the same result. Also when I have attempted to install SuperSU using the same process have received the same error so I suspect it is not a corrupted file.
I believe this is being caused by the signature check and to get around this have been following the below guide to disable signature check:
tutorial-how-to-disable-signature-check.html (name of the tutorial as can't post links)
When it comes to the step "Then find a option Called "Patch To Android", I don't see this option, and from what I understand this may be due to not having my phone rooted.
I have installed Kingo ROOT to resolve this but it failed to root the handset (error 0x1C5C33 if that means anything to anybody), checking the list of phones which Kingo ROOT can root, Moto is not one of them. What are the other options?
Any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Get rid of kingo. Look up android doctor on YouTube for unlock, root, twrp instructions. CM has a lot of bugs and isn't ready for daily use on this device. Slim roms has released their rom, it's CM based. I've been using it for a few days, and it's running smooth. There's a thread about it with the link on here. The only problem I've had was a boot loop when I try and flash xposed and supersu. There's a built in super user access in the settings, so supersu isn't necessary.

Phone rooted, thanks!
Now to install SlimRoms

Strange, after rooting gained the below options in Lucky Patcher:
Signature Verification Status always True
Disable .apk Signature Verification
Disable signature verification in the package manager
Patch applied for all three, but then when I restart in recovery mode and attempt to install the SlimRoms zip still getting error "E:failed to verify whole-file signature".

I didn't patch anything. Just root, installed twrp, and flashed slim rom and gapps

Ah I see, did not realise you install the rom via twrp. It's installed now, awesome, thanks.
