Hi Guys,
I did the most stupid thing and wiped everything on my device including the internal storage . Now i am stuck in TWRP recovery and i am not able to push files to /sdcard to flash a new rom and boot my device.
Can anyone help me???? i dont have any files on my storage now , but TWRP recovery is working fine. i tried
"adb push adb push C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\pa_grouper-2.10-06SEP2012-221306.zip /sdcard/"
please help me recover my Nexus 7.
Thanks a lot.

Hi Harry GT-S5830,
Thanks , i am still in recovery , does it has to be factory image? can i just flash any custom rom , since that was my main purpose.
Just confirming the step:
* go into bootloader and then fastboot flash all <filename>
will that work?
EDIT: " fastboot flash all " didnt work.
i got the error :
asi-jro03d-factory-e102ba72.tgz
sending 'all' (257604 KB)...
OKAY [ 32.790s]
writing 'all'...
FAILED (remote: Invalid Partition Name.)
finished. total time: 32.820s
Please help.

Nexus toolkit has an option to restore to stock.
Use that.

well i just recovered the tablet using stock image via the fastboot commands.
i cant believe i erased internal storage. Big lesson learnt , never do two things at once ... at least when you are flashing a rom
Thanks everyone for their help, just wondering is there no way for us to push zip files to /sdcard folder via fastboot or recovery???

[Q] Need to flash 4.3 stock recovery

Hello,
I installed Open Recovery with TWRP and I want to return to the stock recovery.
Where and how can I find the 4.3 stock recovery in order to install it and how ?
Many thanks :good:

this what you're looking for?

No, I need only the 4.3 Stock Recovery and without any wipe.

You can try Wugfresh's Nexus Toolkit, it has many tools such has a stock recovery flasher.
Since I am on holiday I have no idea if Android 4.3 is supported on the Toolkit yet.

Android 4.3 does have a new recovery which does look better so I have no idea how to rip it out.

Maybe you can get the recovery from the Nexus Stock Image site:
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#occamjwr66v
Extract it and try to get the image.
Once you get the image go to Fastboot mode and enter the command: fastboot recovery [image name].img

Thanks, but I'm not so familiar with that fastboot script.

Easiest way is to download the 4.3 stock image and just flash the recovery image.

Any instructions?

my friend the task you are trying to accomplish will have instructions where ever you find the images. Have you search for the image you need? I think you are just looking for a zip file with stock recovery in it. This is not the norm but if you want stock that badly you may have to learn how to use fastboot and flash all stock that way. I know you dont want to lose your data but you may have to make the choice of data vs custom recovery. Go into the CWM or TWRP thread and kindly ask if someone can package the stock recovery in a zip file for you

Download the Android ADT Bundle from http://dl.google.com/android/adt/adt-bundle-windows-x86-20130717.zip
Extract the file and copy the "platform-tools" folder to C:\Android (create this folder if it doesn't exist). The final path should be C:\Android\platform-tools
Download the factory images from https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/occam-jwr66v-factory-08d2b697.tgz . Extract them and find a file called "recovery.img". Copy this file to your platform-tools folder in C:\Android
Open a command Window in your platform-tools folder by holding SHIFT and right-clicking on it
Type:
Adb devices
And make sure it says "device" after some numbers.
Now type:
Adb reboot-bootloader
Wait for the device to reboot to bootloader.
Now type:
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
That's it.

Wow, thanks. I will try that and update.
It's not suppose to wipe any data, right?

Ok, done that and this is the cmd output :

But how should I verify that I do have the stock 4.3 recovery and process succeed ?

Yes, that's OK.
You see the stock recovery for yourself by turning off your device (unplug from charger if that's the case), and then press and hold its power and volume down buttons at the same time for a few seconds until you boot into bootloader. From there you can access the recovery using the volume buttons.
You can also type:
adb reboot-bootloader
In a command Window and then go to recovery using the volume buttons.
The stock recovery has an android laying on its back (or face down, can't remember right now).
By the way, a little tip: you won't see any options in the stock recovery unless you press and hold the power button and press the volume up once. I mention it because you may need it someday
Cheers

I like seeing the kindness you shared here. For the sake of many I thank you. Though I've been helping for several years its more often I find [email protected]@holes responding as though they were born with the device and Google code 101 in their hands. I do not tolerate smartarses or lazy but I do find it nice to see people helping. Thanks again..

Mercado_Negro, I don't have words to thank you ! This is what the forum exits for, I myself helping as much as I can to others with things that I know, instead of telling them to go and search for syntax or other solutions . You helped me so much !!
I wish that most of the forum members will be kindly like you .
Regarding to the recovery, also my previous custom recovery ("Open Recovery") looked like the stock one with an Android lying on his back and some rows of data under him so I cannot see the difference visually.
Maybe there is an app for knowing what is your system data which can verify I have the stock recovery now.
Thanks!

You're welcome!
No, that's not the recovery, that's the bootloader. Once you're there, push your volume buttons until you see an option called "Recovery Mode". one you see it, push your power button and it will take you to recovery. There you'll see another Android laying on its back but no letters below. That's the stock recovery.
The openrecovery a.k.a. TWRP is very different and you'll notice the difference right away

Yes it is, great.
Thank you very much sir.

[Q] Nexus 10 stuck on Google logo

Hi I've done stupid thing for myself:
i tried flashing 4.4.2 stock rom. coming from 4.2 (i think) did the usual format data/cache. then rebooted then it loops on google logo. I can go to recovery mode.

So are you rooted? Custom recovery? Looking to flash stock? What bootloader do you have? Ota flash? Fastboot flash?

I still cant get fastboot up. ive used minimal fastboot and/or SDK Package. also changed the path for environmental variables.

So more info will help, usually the more info you give the faster your issues can be fixed
Are you in bootloader mode? I take it your using windows, what version? Has adb or fastboot ever worked before? When you type
fastboot devices
You get nothing? Can you post a screen shot of terminal, of environmental variables? Are all proper drivers installed? Does anything pop up in device manager when tablet is plugged into USB while in fastboot, recovery or os? Are you using factory USB cable?

sorry about that.
im in fastboot mode with power and both volumes pressed. i can also go into recovery mode TWRP v2.5.0.0
also rooted and yes windows 7 64 bit. recovery mode or fastboot mode . it doesnt recognized my nexus.
not sure if i have the right drivers. i cant find any drivers to download for nexus 10
Does anything pop up in device manager when tablet is plugged into USB while in fastboot, recovery or os? - No
and yes im using nexus 10 OEM cable.
i really appreciate the time to help me out with this issue.

Its no problem,
The SDK should have the drivers you need, or you can install the universal drivers made by koush or a number of others as well. Just Google search or a search xda for terms like
Nexus 10 drivers
Universal android drivers
Android naked drivers
You will find many that will work just fine for you
If in cmd you type
fastboot
And you see a list of commands than you know you have it installed
When you type
fastboot devices
And you see your serial number your good, if just a blank line then you need to get tab to communicate, this is most often a driver issue. If you can't find ones that work let me know and I'll link some to you, also you may need to uninstall old drivers and than manually install new ones, windows doesn't always do the best job of picking the correct drivers

finally found the driver that works and now
i get R32D2009DAT
Im assuming thats serial number whats the next step

Google search
Android factory images
Here you will download the correct one, latest manta for the nexus 10
Then extract the contents of the zip
Now if you want to keep custom recovery that's a good idea but if you want KitKat you will need stock or at least update to the newest twrp (as you current one won't flash kk)
So if you want twrp then google search
Twrp recovery manta
And then find the latest image, 2.6.x?
Oh and its a good idea to check md5sum for both the zip from android source and for the recovery image, both will tell you what it should be in download screen and there are many ways to check, just google search
Windows md5
There is both official and none official, I personally use Linux command line and can't recall the name of the program I use for windows off hand
Also note that the following commands will wipe all from tablet, it is good to do this but if there is anything real important back it up first
Now from fastboot, enter these commands
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase recovery
Now find the bootloader image you extracted from the android .zip
fastboot flash bootloader nameofbootloader.img
Now if you want stock find the system image
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Now find the twrp recovery image
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
Here you can boot to new recovery and install superuser or just boot to pure stock, or if you want one of the many great custom ROMs you can boot to recovery and use adb sideload to flash one

there is no button combination, for adb
but it is not possible that adb is available during part of the boot, unlikely though
Power off then power on

what likely happened is FlashFire moved the wipe option to last task
so the rom was wiped from system, then device rebooted
for some reason those with the 5.1.1 bootloader, lose recovery, for some reason.
if the rom was Bootable, i believe stock recovery would also still work.
right now I have no idea how to fix it.

There seems to be a few of us with this problem but all we have is fastboot to work with so it doesn't look good, without adb i don`t know how we can flash anything.

All 2015 Fires are within 1 year warranty. Contact Amazon for replacement options.

I think this is not a good idea. The fire hangs on the boot screan with cm12.1 .

I have a relatively new P8-lite L21 dual sim phone and I am quite happy with it. It came with C432B170 which is Lollipop I think 5.01. After a few days it updated to B172. I have unlocked the bootloader after registering with Huawei and waiting 2 weeks. Then I have successfuly rooted the phone with Kingroot phone version. Two or three weeks ago I have updated the phone to MM (6) and Emui 4 with local update (B560) that I have gotten from this forum. 2 days ago I recieved the notification of OTA B564 which went smoothly beside the fact that it reset the phone but i have succesfully restored (contacts, data etc.) All of this time since I upgraded to MM i have tried to root the phone but I was unsuccesful either with any software solution ( Kingroot, Kingoroot or others). After reading most if not all discussions on this forum and several blogs and how -tos, I tried the so called fastboot method others have recommended but here is now the gist of my problem. My phone is seen by my PC - OK so USB drivers are properly installed (by the way my PC is Win 10) and I have installed Android SDK as well as minimal ADB. When i try to flash TWRP 3.00.2 I can not do it (the message says something about not able to access or i think remote command not allowed. So since I cannot flash TWRP i am unable to put SU on the phone and root it. I hope someone more experienced and skillfull in Android world can point me in the right direction and help me. Thank you

Download mininal adb fastboot and then try to flash twrp via fastboot.
That error occurs because your adb doesn't have full permissions.
Minimal adb will solve this.

Downloaded minimal adb fastboot and installed it. Tried the procedure. Copied TWRP recovery to the minimal folder. Shift right clicked in the folder of minimal and opened command window. Adb rebooted to bootloader. Phone shows it is unlocked. The device is seen in fastboot window but flashing recovery doesn't work (same message) I am really confused. How do I give adb full permissions ?
Any way thanks in advance.

Did you activate usb debugging ?

Yes of course !

Try reinstalling drivers with universal adb.
Are you sure your bootloader is unlocked?
Type fastboot devices and let me know the output.

The drivers were reinstalled. My bootloader shows unlocked on bootloader (bottom of fastboot screen). Fastboot devices does nothing. Adb devices shows my phone serial number correctly (I have it written down). But then when i try to flash recovery it is unsuccessfull. It says "FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)"

sorry, if you've already answered this, but you can also do it by flashify... flash the recovery image via flashify (root needed though)

I am and I have. I am stumped. Obviously something is wrong with windows permissions I think. Is it possible to put recovery. img on sd card or on phone and flash recovery from the phone ?

This is the output every time no matter which usb port

The thing i don't understand is why fastboot command doesn't show device while adb command does.

You said that you have android sdk too... Have you tried using that?
If it doesn't help them try to do it on other computer or reset your windows...

Weird... i can't think of anything else myself that hasn't been said. Perhaps... redownloading twrp? Maybe the image is corrupted by something... ot's a long shot because ot should flash everytging that comes its way. But it's the only thing you hven't tried.
