No, recovery and root are different things. Download the root checker app from the playstore and check. TBH, OTA is a bit iffy, so best to backup data to an external place, then flash factory image.

Thanks for the suggestion mate.
I'll surely follow your advice.
Meanwhile can anyone please provide me KTU84P recovery image?

Most straight forward way to get hold of the recovery.img from KTU84P is to extract it from the factory image. Otherwise you need to look around xda for a download link.

same here buddy...
iam not getting that link only...
if u know then it would be a great help...

How to return Oppo find 5 back to stock

Hi I just received my Oppo find 5 and before I root I wanted to know if there was any way if all goes wrong to return Oppo find 5 back to stock. Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Zack

It's very easy. Just flash the stock ROM. If you need to go back to stock recovery too, there's a thread in the oppo forums that has a link to it, out you could just make a backup in recovery and save the boot.img on your computer and flash it using fastboot. This phone is a lot like a nexus and is easy to root and return to stock.

You can also say 'NO' to disable recovery flash when using a custom recovery to flash stock firmware.. badabing badaboom your back to stock with stock recovery!

I think CWM gives you this option but TWRP disables recovery flash by default. At least that has been my experience. One of the reasons I prefer CWM.

How can we re-enable recovery flash with the TWRP? Because I want to install an OTA update but it doesn't and I have installed this custom recovery.

Okay, but this is general section, not Q/A and should be there but today is Friday and I am tremendously happy lol
1. Download 4.4 Radio and 4.4 ROM. (say thanks to Imperticus)
2. Put both zips in your sdcard
3. Go to recovery and do: wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik and format system (optional, advisable for upgrading to 4.4)
4. Flash Radio.zip
5. Flash ROM
U don't need any gapps since this is a factory image...
If you want a rooted/deodexed/busybox ROM download this one in stead of the other (say thanks to fireb33)
If u have any problem just let me know.

Flash Stock+Unroot (choose 4.4 option), after that root and put recovery. check if radio and bootloader ok.
P.S.
I think it's good for 4.4. to wipe device and do clean one.

you do realize that most the people here on xda do not use english as their first language? unfortunately not everyone here speaks or writes in english as well as you. hopefully you can understand that, and have a bit more patience and understanding, thank you.

ive gone and broken everything
ive never had issues updating various cyanogen versions once originally installed clockwork recovery. always been as simple as downloading and transferring the zip to SD and booting to recovery and installing from SD when i didnt do the auto updates which still took me to recovery at reboot. but i got impatient for the 4.4 version which reading from cyanongen is in no hurry to release because just released milestone version of 4.3. I downloaded the 4.4 zip right from google and tried installing it from SD like i always did after doing all the various wipes. The google factory image wasnt even recognized by clockwork. so doing some googling got here with steps to radio and os images got them transferred over and booted to recovery and they were at least selectable. got radio to go through. the actual os got error 7 during install, which doing even more googling said should edit a file in the zip contents. Too bad now cant get past the google logo and goes right back to recovery menus for me to transfer editted zip file for the error 7 problem. So im at least partially bootable but no clue how the heck to get myself out of this mess ive gotten myself into due to my impatience and wanting latest and greatest for my nexus 4. would love any help in how to undo problem i caused because the whole adb thing is foreign to me

There's a difference between someone struggling with English and someone deliberately using text speak to sound all "1337."

I would be very careful with this. Please do some research before flashing.. there has been some reports of soft-bricking. The file will not flash with TWRP or CMW and needs the stock recovery. Also, you will need to do some extra work to get a custom recovery working and root.

I am pretty certain that ship has sailed. Moto caught on to the exploit before and fixed it with an update, and KK is much more secure than any prior software. I highly doubt another exploit is going to be found.
For all my 9.30.1 people, I love you guys too.http://pan.baidu.com/s/1eQimdea
Enjoy that official KK ota for 9.30.1 over that slow ass chinese server and stop trying to get the 9.18.94 to work.

[Q] Flash 5.1

Hello guys!
My Nexus 4 is running PA 5 Alpha 2, rooted and custom kernel of course.
I got the .zip file of the 5.1 OTA.
How should I flash it?
How did you flash PA in the first place? Just follow the same steps. You should flash it with a custom recovery e.g. TWRP.

You can't flash the ota in a custom recovery. You have to sideload it in the stock recovery. You have to be 100% stock system, kernel and recovery.

i was wondering if its possible for me to flash this if i am oe1 with twrp and a custom rom?
Anyone order a brick?
Why is everyone so eager to take the OTA? I would wait until a developer can decompile it, see what's in it, and then extract what isn't needed and update they're custom roms. For me I'm still on ob7 and I'm waiting until a dev updates a rom.

If you want to take update download kies for pc and update that way. Don't just take it the way you are now it's going to fail.

pbedard the stock recovery image is it N910PVPU3BOF5 (Latest Update) or N910PVPU2BOE1.
