Heres a flashable zip built from the new Lollipop OTA containing the required Data / Preload files which get deleted when you unlock the bootloader, these work if you are on 6.09.401.11 and possibly 6.09.401.12 and are required to update successfully.
Copy zip to your internal storage and boot into TWRP recovery, flash like you would with anything else, reboot the phone, then boot to fastbootUSB and flash your stock recovery, you should now beable to update.
The zip can be edited and the files in the preload folder can be replaced with your own if you are not on the 401 international RUU, you can find your own files inside your OTA.zip/data/preload, just copy it to your PC, extract the contents of that preload folder found in the ota and replace the files in my flashable zip, save, copy to insternal storage, and then flash as per above instructions.

Hi devs. Hi users. Hi testers!
I made two zips that might help you in some random point of time in future.
:laugh:
Both zips are flashable via recovery. Note that I have only tested working on aosp and cm-based roms. No custom skinned-oem ROM tested. However, it would be good if you provide info on what roms they work (or not)
This zip will remove the password/pin/pattern from your lock screen and reset it to swipe-to-unlock mode.
Not tested with smart lock modes.

This zip allows you to authenticate ADB from device, without booting the ROM first. Useful for devs who need ADB access even while booting the ROM for the first time.
Things you must have :
Code:
1) A pc which you have previously used to authenticate ADB access.
2) The zip from my link.
3) Some non-noob brain. Majorly this zip is for devs.
How to proceed :
Code:
1) First we need to obtain a file named "adbkeys.pub".
1a) For windows, go to the windows drive (usually c: drive) and browse to /users/(your-username-here)/.android/
1b) For most Linux distros : go to home directory, browse to /.android/
Generally .android will be hidden by default. In that case, just enable hidden files and folders from folder view options.
2) After you get the adbkeys.pub file, open it with a text editor. You will see a code there. Copy all of that code. Or use the shortcuts (ctrl+A) and then (ctrl+C).
3) Extract my zip. You will see a file in /data/misc of the extracted zip. Open that file with text editor. Erase any previous text in my file. Or use the shortcut (ctrl+A) and then (del). Paste the previously copied code into that file. Or use the shortcut (ctrl+V).
4) Save the file, rezip the extracted folders (which are data and meta-inf).
5) Flash that final zip file from recovery.

1. Open SP Flash tool. Press ctrl+alt+v
2. Under menu item either window or options there will be new menuitem "write memory". Click it, a new tab will appear.
3. Click the tab, select your nvram.bin file. In the start address field, enter the start address of the nvram partition (get the start address from scatter file)
4. Click start and wait for the process to finish. If all goes well you should see an "OK dialog"
5. Disconnect the phone and reboot.
PS: Make sure scatter file is loaded before proceeding with above steps and at least "preloaded" checkbox is selected
Thanks

Doesn't matter it is one and the same thing, it' only an extension. What you have got is actually a RAW dump of the nvram partition. You can either name the raw dump file as .bin or .img or anything else. The extension naming is only for satisfying some tools as they either look for .bin file or .img file. So just go ahead and follow the procedure.
Thanks
Thanks man....
Really really thanks....
I will try this procedure as soon as pollible...
I does this procedure, but nothing happened...
My SN are not resetted, everything is just like nothing happened,
What should i do??
Please tell me...

Edit by help of notepad++,Go to scatter file n edit by finding nvram data,change is_download to true n change the file and bin name as same as nvram data which u have,I hope it helps
Did it work ?
Hey bro , problem solved?
You can use the TWRP to flash the nvram.img. Go to the folder where the file is saved, there you can see an option in the bottom right corner "image file" select it and flash the image as nvram partition

SPFlash tool can't Flash partitions other than the default listed ones directly. In the scatter file you can enble other partitions but it will not work. It will always give error 6045. Two flash other partitions using SPFlash tool, you will need to enter Advanced write mode. Here is how you can do it. But first revert to original scatter file.
Steps:-
1. Press CTRL + ALT + V to enable advanced write mode.
2. Open the advanced write mode (there will be an extra menu item under either option or main window menu.
Once you click that item, an extra tab will be added (write memory)
3. Go to newly added tab, select the partition you want to flash. Enter the starting address of the partition (get it from scatter file) you want to flash. Press start button. If you have correct drivers, the procedure should start within 10-15 seconds. Wait for the process to finish (you should see an ok dialog)
4. Disconnect and restart the phone. The first start may take slightly longer.
If the partition flashing file itself is corrupt, your phone may enter boot loop or stuck at the screen, so do backup your stuff
Hope it works for you
Thanks.

Need that nvrm .IMG filec
Could you send me to that file
Plz sir, i hv lost my phone imei n none of the methds are working plz help .. tge only option left is using nvram.img file and flashing via twrp.plz share it!
I have used LGUP and selected all partitions from DUMP. Is it enough if something goes wrong, do I have everything I need? It must have specific extension?
Yes you have everything you need. Partitions dont need a file extension you can add .img to the file names if you want, which will make them image files. They can all be flashed via fastboot or twrp using console commands just the way they are.
Hi everyone , sorry for my lot questions , am still not familiar with , this is my first experience with things like that , the edl tool is so helpful and i found many people recommended it so i will unloack my bootloader after downgrading from oreo to naugat and then upgrad and flash twrp , Then format and boot into B02 and then flash LOS 16 but i want to ask please here about the subfolders ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Structure of program folders:
1. Folder flash - in this folder you need to copy the files you want to flash
Subfolders:
folder full - if you want to flash full firmware (official, adapted for EDL mode), then in this folder you need to put all the files from the firmware for EDL mode:
its name usually looks like this: A2017 _......._ FULL_EDL
folder boot - if you want to flash your kernel file, you need to put a file named: boot.img in this folder (the file name must be exactly that!)
folder recovery - if you want to flash your recovery file, you need to put a file named: recovery.img in this folder (the file name must be exactly that!)
folder modem - if you want to flash your modem file, you need to put a file named: NON-HLOS.bin in this folder (the file name must be exactly that!)
folder splash - if you want to flash your splash file, you need to put a file named: splash.img in this folder (the file name must be exactly that!)
2. Folder backup - the folder contains backup copies of the phone partitions created by the program
Subfolders:
folder all - this folder contains backups of all partitions, except userdata
folder full - this folder contains backup of all partitions included in the FULL EDL firmware
folder boot - this folder contains a backup of the boot partition
folder recovery - this folder contains a backup of the recovery partition
folder modem - this folder contains a backup of the modem partition
folder splash - this folder contains a backup of the splash partition
folder efs - this folder contains backup of the efs partition
3. Folder unlock - contains all the necessary files to unlock (do not touch it!)
4. Folder logs - contains all the logs of the program
5. Folder tools - contains all the necessary files for the program (do not touch it!) ---------------------->My question here about the subfolders should i just make the twrp recommended in the folder recovery and the two roms b 02 and b 12 in the folder flash or all the folders i should make in them some files ( folder backup , folder boot , folder modem , folder splash, folder unloack , folder logs ,foler tools ) if yes tell me what i should put in those folder exactly .am in a mess . thanks and please help me
1. twrp goes into folder recovery - named: recovery.img - flash
2. boot into twrp, install ROM zips from there
or
put B02 into folder full - A2017 _......._ FULL_EDL and flash
reboot
install LOS from TWRP
