Hello. I'm really new to the g1, I got it just two weeks ago, and right now I have JFv1.50 ADP1.5 installed right now. I'm not familiar with many of the technical terms, but I'm starting to understand everything.
I went through the root process, trying to follow some guide using a root.apk application to download/ install the right files, but it bricked my phone. I was able to manually get it to JFv1.50 ADP1.5 later on though.
Now my problem is that I believe I still have the normal recovery image on the phone. In recovery mode there is a picture of an exclamation mark in a triangle.
So I figured I'd go try to use JF's 1.43 recovery image. I put the zip on my SD card and renamed it update.zip. When I go into recovery mode now, though, and press ALT+S, I see the installation/ update bar pop up for like 3 seconds, enough for the orange progress bar to move a few millimeters, and then it just stops. No error message or anything.
I tried installing the test keys recovery image also, but it didn't work at all.
I really need JF's recovery image though, so I can make backups etc.
I've searched for this, but the closest problem I can see is this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-505950.html
But for me, I don't even get an error message when using the update.zip...
Sorry for my lack of technical knowledge here, but try to bear with me
Thanks for any help you can give me!
The cooked roms are signed with testkeys, so the original recovery mode will refuse to flash them. You'll have to get the recovery image modified by JF and flash it. The latest version is included in JF v1.43. You can find recovery.img in a folder called data in that zip.
Copy it to your sdcard or adb push it to somewhere on the phone. Then type these commands on the phone:
su
flash_image recovery /path/to/recovery.img
You must have root in order to do this. Alternatively, you can push the file to /system and the init script will flash it for you the next time you boot.

Thanks so much! I couldn't figure this out until now. It's working perfectly now.
Feel free to close this thread. Thanks again
Tried to update my wife's Nexus 10 tonight. It's unlocked and rooted, formerly on the stock version of Jelly Bean. I thought this would be an easy update since it was stock jellybean to kitkat with the official OTA file but I guess I was wrong. Got the OTA update notification so I allowed it to reboot and install. CWM Touch Recovery picked it up and I told it to install the unsigned zip. Got near the end and it had an error. Now it's stuck in boot (appears to be Kit Kat boot). Just sits on the 4 colored circles going in/out in the middle of the screen.
I need to fix this without wiping data. It's her only computer that she uses daily so she's got a million things on there she uses all the time. If I have to wipe data, she'll be pissed (and I'll lose my hard earned game saves).
Attached is a picture of the error. I've got WUG's toolkit if it's necessary to use to fix this. Any ideas what's going on and how to fix it? Thanks.

I have a rooted/unlocked Nexus 10, I used wugfresh's kit also. I got the OTA update last night. it installed. CWM never came up or did anything. During one of the boots after the green droid bot was saying "installing" the boot finished, but my green bot is now on his side. stomach open and it says "Error" in red bold letter.
I had to go to work, so I couldnt trouble shoot, but power off/on and soft reset (power+volume up select reset) didnt help. always comes to that "error".
I have data that is also not currently backed up with TBpro. hindsight I should have made sure I turned the scheduler on.
So I'm stuck also. not sure how to proceed. Got one recommendation to flash stock back on. But I think that will for sure wipe all my data. And beyond that, I dont know how, unless WUGs kit will do that.
Your best bet it is to sideload. Grab the OTA and the FULL 4.4
Pull the recovery.img from the full 4.4 rar (its in the zip), fastboot flash it, reboot into bootloader, go to recovery and sideload the OTA and that should restore it just fine

I was about to say. whaaaaat? then saw the link with some details. Never done that stuff before, just used other tools kits, like wugs. But doesnt sound to bad. Will try when I get home. I presume when you say into a adb directory, its something on the desktop pc you are connected to. outside of perhaps some drivers, do I need other applications on the PC to facilitate the adb stuff you mention?

Well if you are unfamiliar with the process you will need to get the android SDK installed or find one of the pre-packaged current adb loads. It's very simple, get this package here: http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/Nexus10/Nexus10RootNew.zip# (yes its a crappy ad link but hey the guy packaged it all up so...).
If you are on a PC extract these to a folder of your choice.
Open file manager
Navigage to the folder you extracted the files to
on the left pan select the folder, press SHIFT and Right Click mouse, then select "Open command window here"
You can now follow my instructions from the other page - Do the following below FIRST
If you are prompted to accept security allowance on your device do so. you will likely only see this once you are back into the Android OS not in recovery.
This folder has all the basics you need to fastboot and run adb.
Connect your device to your pc and run >fastboot reboot-bootloader.
If your device restarts and goes into the bootloader you can relax and follow my instructions.
Hope this helps.
One other thing, that su zip is dated, you will need to flash the 1.51 version and you should be good to complete root process.
Wow, this seems about 3 miles over my head but I guess I'll dive in and try it. Thanks for the info. I'm sure I'll be back with problems/questions.

OK, I downloaded the packaged linked above and extracted it to the desktop. Then I used file manager to "open command window here". Where do I get su zip 1.51? I tried to google a link but they all seemed newer (1.75 for example). Does it matter if it's 1.51 exactly or can it be any version 1.51 or newer? One last question regarding su zip, does that need to be updated after this whole process is complete and I'm up and running again, or does it need to be done before I move on to the instructions you linked to above? Thanks.

You don't need to root at all but the updated supersu 1.75 will be just fine as its universal. You can get the official from here: http://download.chainfire.eu/368/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.75.zip
You will install that ONLY after you have installed the OTA's and your custom recovery and only if you want root.
good luck!

In this link, you said to do the following:
Pull the full stock 4.4 image from here : https://developers.google.com/androi...mages#mantaray
open it and pull out from the zip in the rar the recovery.img, move a copy to your adb folder along with a copy of your custom recovery ( for discussion sake I'll use twrp.recovery.img)
Put copy of the patch in the adb folder and rename it to a short name like krt16s.zip
I got the full stock 4.4 image downloaded, extracted it, extracted the zip file inside (image-mantaray-krt16s.zip) and that provided me with "recovery.img" you mentioned above.
Now I have 2 problems, where is this "adb folder" you say to put the recovery.img in, and where is the custom recovery? I assume it's on the N10 after I connect it to my laptop. Is there a preferred custom recovery I should use? I saw mention of TWRP not working with Kit Kat elsewhere. Not sure if that is dated info or not.
Lastly, just to confirm this is true, none of this whole process will wipe my data correct?

Correct - if you SIDELOAD the OTA it will UPGRADE and retain all data and application settings etc...
If you run the 4.4 update from the factory image it will WIPE ALL. So do not do that ....just pull the recover.img from it and get rid of the rest.
If you downloaded this: http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/N...10RootNew.zip#
and extracted it to a new folder - do this first!!!
then copy the recovery.img you just extracted from the factory 4.4 rar to the same folder as the adb and fastboot commands
copy the OTA file to same folder and rename it ota.zip to make your life easier
>fastboot reboot-bootloader to validate your computer can see the device and that the next steps will go as planned
If you are now back bootloader then:
>fastboot flash recovery recover.img
wait till its done..will take about 15 seconds tops
>fastboot reboot-bootloader again and go to recovery using the volume buttons
select and enter recovery mode
wait for dead droid to appear
press both Volume UP and Power at same time and you should get the load menu
select "apply updated from adb" and press power after selecting
orange colored type will now appear at the bottom of the screen
on your PC
>adb sideload ota.zip
wait till you see its completed successfully
then reboot
(you can also apply the smaller ota (1.7MB) this same way)
If all went well you have now booted up successfully and see that your ass has been saved from eternal hell from your wife's wrath...
reboot and fastboot flash your favorite custom recovery reboot again to recovery and apply the su update for root access
I hope this helps
You can also read this: http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/1...-download-and-install-android-4-4-now-krt16o/
You said: "just pull the recover.img from it and get rid of the rest."
So is your instruction from the original link to: "Put copy of the patch in the adb folder and rename it to a short name like krt16s.zip" replaced by the OTA file I renamed to ota.zip in order to retain all data? For reference, krt16s.zip is 390mb, ota.zip is 225mb.

not sure i follow you but from the 4.4 factory image you will need the recovery.img file thats it. You will also need the OTA upgrade that takes you from 4.3 to 4.4. You need the OTA so that you wont lose your wifes data and will upgrade only and not image the device.
I have to leave and wont be back on till later this weekend.
Going well so far...had an issue but figured it out.
Got to sideloading ota.zip, then after it got to 100% it started verifying the update package. Got an error:
'/system/app/BasicDreams.apk" has unexpected contents
E:Error in /tmp/update.zip
(status 7)
Installation aborted.
Now what?
I found this in the Nexus 7 section but not sure if it applies here or if there is a better way, if it's guaranteed to not wipe data, etc.: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47474021&postcount=26
Did you try this solution? I'm stuck on the "Error in /tmp/update.zip" as well. Having the same issues, and I hope to update without loosing data.
No, I haven't tried it as I can't risk losing data by randomly trying stuff I don't understand. I need someone who knows what they are doing to confirm that the steps in this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47474021&postcount=26 won't wipe data or do anything that will require wiping data to finish this process.
have well

I just tried it. And it worked. Didn't loose any data.
Flashing the img files, and then proceeding to sideload the OTA zip. Booting didn't take too long, Android then started upgrading ("Optimizing app..."), and booted successfully. It took a while to open de app drawer though... But everything was still there.
Regaining root access is something I'll try later. I'm just happy to have my N7 booting again.
Just a small disclaimer. I don't really know what I'm doing (I kinda like messing around with my device, it's only way to learn something), so I cannot guarantee it will work for you.
Glad it worked for you, it didn't work for me. I got another error after doing the following commands:
Then, run the following commands:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase system
fastboot flash system system.img
then I rebooted back to bootloader, then "apply updated from adb" and then from the command line: >adb sideload ota.zip
It again loaded 100% and then started verifying the package. Then I got this error:
Package expects build fingerprint of google/mantaray/manta:4.3/JWR66Y/776638:user/release-keys or google/mantaray/manta:4.4/KRT160/907817:user/release-keys; this device has google/mantaray/manta:4.4/KRT16S/920375:user/release-keys.
E:Error in /tmp/update.zip

What a F***ing nightmare...
Why do I apparently have the wrong version?
Hmm, might be the wrong OTA zip idd...
I downloaded mine from here: http://www.droid-life.com/2013/11/2...ial-update-for-nexus-7-2012-and-nexus-7-2013/
Received the update today but it failed to install. I'm running the stock rom KRT16S. My Nexus 10 is rooted and my recovery is TWRP 2.6.3.1. I have added nothing else to this rom except a few apps from the google play store. I wanted to try again but couldn't find where the OTA is stored. It wasn't in the /cache/fota folder. So I downloaded a flashable zip from the net. But this update file failed to install also. I've seen a few others have success installing the update. I just don't know what's preventing me from updating. I welcome your suggestions. Thanks.
Same here on my Nex5.
It seems, that some custom zips changed my stock (rooted) rom in this way that I am not able to install the 4.4.2 update.
I got similar issue on my Nex4 in the past, I could help me out by flashing full rom (rooted) deodexed, but where can I find the full rom of 4.4.2 for my Nex5 now?
Anybody can give me a clue?
Thank u very much.

Hi Fred, and greetz from Ohio. I'm not aware of anything in the 4.4.2 flavor right now for the Nex10. I'm not sure about the Nex5. I think we're just going to have to wait. But I'd like to have the same thing. A lean & clean deodexed stock rooted 4.4.2 rom with a few performance tweaks. Like the old "Cleanrom" by scrosler. As for right now, did you try an ADB Sideload update to 4.4.2 using Wug's Toolkit? http://www.wugfresh.com/faqs/how-to-update-ota-not-working/

Hi,
You can try performing a full unroot in the SuperSU app if it still doesn't work... I had to adb sideload mine to work, don't know how it works with toolkit, but you have to first set your tablet to receive it. As you are on TWRP you simply go to advanced and select adb sideload, then try using the tool, or following the instructions on it to do so .
You cannot install a OTA zip like a Custom ROM zip, they are a little bit different hehe.
Hope this helps,
~Lord
PS.: This will work for N5 too.
I somehow got the idea that rooted Nexus devices with a custom recovery could handle OTA's without trashing the recovery. I guess I expected that I would lose root. I think I'm just going to wait for someone to put together a "CleanROM" based on 4.4.2 or newer. I've been waiting for a rom like this since I bought my Nex10 anyway. I don't think I'll suffer too much running on 4.4 until then.
Thanks to those who contributed, I'll remember your suggestions. Especially if I end up waiting a long time for a 4.4.2 based Cleanrom.
Update: Thanks to Wug's toolkit. I'm now running 4.4.2..
I should ask for a sticky for this but these instruction will work EVERY TIME if you are running either custom recovery or Root.
You will need the latest adb/fastboot from google, you can either install the SDK or download any of the many smaller adb/fastboot and libs for your os
You will need STOCK 4.4/4.3/4.2 recovery depending on what version of android you are currently on. Download the factory image from here. Open the zip within the package and pull out recovery.img and rename it stockrecovery.img
Copy your custom recovery to the adb folder name it twrp.zip or short name for whatever you are using I am using twrp.
You will need the correct OTA you are seeking to apply - rename it to something short simple and obvious - for this example I will use otaupdate.zip
If you wish to root get the latest patch (I believe its up to 1.75 now) and copy it to the adb/fastboot folder.
BACKUP YOUR DEVICE FIRST AND COPY IT TO YOUR PC
If you are already Rooted:
If you are using SuperSU - go to the application options and completely unroot and reboot if needed
BACKUP YOUR DEVICE FIRST AND COPY IT TO YOUR PC
If not rooted start here:
I am assuming most of you are Windows users. Open your file explorer and open the ADB folder.
On the left hand folder where ADB is located press shift and right click the ADB folder and select "Open command window from here". This will open a command prompt window for you to run all your adb/fastboot commands from. This is the same folder where you copied your recoveries and updates to.
BACKUP YOUR DEVICE FIRST AND COPY IT TO YOUR PC
Copy your custom recovery and stock recovery to your adb folder
Copy and rename the OTA to the adb folder
Copy your root.zip patch to the /sdcard downloads folder (if you wish root)
>adb reboot bootloader
>fastboot flash recovery stockrecovery.img
>fastboot reboot-bootloader
Go into recovery and wait till dead droid appears
Press power and Volume Up at same time to go into the stock recovery menu
Using the volume buttons move and down the blue list of options and select: Apply update from ADB
You will now have orange text at the bottom of the screen - follow the instructions to side load by typing >adb sideload otaupdate.zip in your command prompt window
Wait and watch the progress, at this point you should see the ota processing steps of which there a few and will vary depending on the package. When its complete there will be a "install complete" or similar message
Reboot and let the update complete the system optimizations and go in validate your device is working and the version is what you wanted
>adb reboot bootloader
>fastboot flash twrp.zip
>fastboot reboot-recovery
Using your newly installed custom recovery you can now apply zips/root etc
Reboot as needed and update root if using older .zip to current binaries and enjoy your updated device.
And yes you only need to backup once prior to starting but many people skip that step -DON'T BE ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE.
Hopefully I've not missed a bit.
You can also use these same instructions if you're stuck in boot loop or applied a patch without first replacing stock or unrooting - just boot to bootloader using fastboot and replace recovery and apply the patches. This will usually work just fine and prevent much heart ache on your part.
Hey,
I had installed TWRP and CM10.2 with no issue, ioroot11.
I let my buddy use the device, he jacked it up...its stuck in the LG boot logo loop... I can still boot in to TWRP but cm10.2 is gone along with everything else that was on the storage. Its clear now he wiped everything.
I need clear step by step instructions on how to overcome this issue.
Id rather just find a way to get cm back on to the storage but if i have to i will do a stock re install.
I need a list of working drivers, how to get adb set up and working correctly (adb devices says offline for my device atm), what commands to use to push cm10 back on to the device, what state the phone needs to be in order to push the cm10 zip (i only have bootlogo, download mode and twrp as device state options).
or i need a list of everything that is needed to install stock. as far as that goes, i need a direct link to sprints .tot file and directions on how to get that going.
TLR
Stuck in LG logo boot, still have TWRP..need help getting ANY type of rom installed. ADB push or Stock re install....
Thanks ahead of time to anyone who helps.
you guys are awesome!

I need a list of working drivers, how to get adb set up and working correctly (adb devices says offline for my device atm), what commands to use to push cm10 back on to the device, what state the phone needs to be in order to push the cm10 zip (i only have bootlogo, download mode and twrp as device state options).
or i need a list of everything that is needed to install stock. as far as that goes, i need a direct link to sprints .tot file and directions on how to get that going.

For back to stock there's a thread in general forums you can also use the Verizon method with sprint files.....or you can read bout adb and download and setup on PC then push a ROM to TWRP and just flash.....you should always make a backup when your up and going again....I didn't post links cause I figured you could Google...instead of me
Thanks for your reply.
I have looked all over and was unable to find any information on what needed to be down to get adb working correctly on my device.
will you kindly link me to something explaining how to get adb working correctly with my phone. links to all the files needed.
when i use adb devices, it lists my device as offline. what state does my phone need to be in?
as for the stock restore, i download the sprint files but when i go to extract the TOT file, it does not extract correctly. will you please link me to the correct drivers needed for this process.
Thanks!

Did you ever get your device back running? Im having the same problem? any help?
Hey. I long story short - I have wiped OS, and the only thing that I can do is use fastboot and also install TWRP or stock recovery.
I found OxygenOS file, but cant install it as there are problems sideloading the file to the device, it looks like ADB drivers on PC are not recognizable. Can someone help me to get back OS? Thanks
Tried a lot of things but anyway nothing happens.

Push the OOS rom via usb to the phone, command: adb push namerom /scard
Next time check the drivers installation result first.
I wish I knew the reply above mine.
How I fixed my issue:
I installed the latest TWRP 3.1.1 in one of the installation guides on this forum for the OP5. Make sure you pick the version that is called the "last latest build". I was able to flash a full zip for 4.5.2 and it worked!

I had problems with ADB drivers, anyway got back to life:
1) booted to TWRP
2) adb push ".zip" /sdcard/.
3) tried installing it at TWRP, no success, so get back stock recovery and flashed the file there.
So my issue is resolved. thanks!
