Q: uninstalling TWRP without going back to stock completely?

Hi,
I have an LG G2 D802 and already installed TWRP 2.6.3.4 for installing zip-files. But now there is an update (only browser, but 4.4 shouldn't be that far away), but without stock recovery it's impossible to install it I know the way how to get back to stock completely, but I don't want to go back to stock every time there is an update, installing all of them and then reinstall TWRP. I think on CWM the problem is the same, but i don't want to miss the camera tweak and splitwindow, so I need an custom recovery for the zip-files:crying: Is there any way to get the stock recovery back without installing complete stock or at least a possibility, to only "boot" the custom recovery when I'm back on stock, like on Nexus devices, and only use it for the flashing and then lose it on the next reboot?

You should be able to push stock recovery via adb or even flashify ( I prefer adb tho). What build number do you have?

I have D80210a-EUR-XX. But where can I find the stock recovery? And btw: what was the adb command for flashing? With my Nexus 4 I only used the ToolKit, because I was never able to use adb through the normal Win7 cmd, only through the toolkit...

most likely, but cannot confirm it, you ooen a stock kdz, and try flashing the kernel .img thats inside, I am not sure
anyone confirm it works that way

for all I know, the kernel doesn't contain any recovery... but I will test it tomorrow, when I downloaded the kdz if you could say me how to open a kdz-file.

here is a link to D802 recovery.img file i found, however its for the 10B build. you should be ok as i dont think the recovery has changed much from 10A to 10B, however i cannot confirm this. use this at your own risk, unless someone can confirm this will recovery will work.

If it's not working, I have a backup of the current. but I will test it tomorrow, then I have more time. But thanks for the quick answers.

Flashing the 10B recovery image worked well. But installing the update I only get an error so I go back to stock now.
I saw that flashify can flash zip files. Does it flash them itself or does it also need a custom recovery to flash them with it and flashify is only some sort of automtatisation? Then I could use this when I'm back on stock 10A (there seems to be no 10B for my device).

I've had similar problem, i think I just installed the KDZ file trough the way they showing: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
It just erased the rooy and TWRP, and all of the apps and settings did not change, its like a repach.

at least it should be. but I can't take the last step. "By turning off, Holding down power and Vol Down until it comes up on the screen." doesn't works, there only starts the normal software, and that's the old one. And unpacking the kdz file with 7zip or Peazip also don't work. Peazip can do ist, but I have to find out how to let it extract it. After installing it, there is another file with the same name, but it's an .cab file with password. If I boot over widgetsoid into recovery (I think this is what the manual means) there is only a little droid with a read sign. How to get further?
EDIT: found out how to come into that menu. It wants to make a hard reset so I make an backup first.

Finally I was able to install the complete new software version (D80210e-EUR-XX) over the LG PC Suite. The file downloaded from the manual seemed to be corrupted or so as it only caused an unpacking error in the programm.
Does anybody knows a way how to flash a zip without a custom rom? Flash Gordon seems to not work.

Flashing stock recovery to Homecare TN7

I was able to flash an EVGA ROM successfully and also Shaky156's CWM recovery. Primary reason was to get rid of Chinese notifications completely. Problem is that I cannot get the 1.1 OTA update to install because of the CWM recovery. I tried to flash stock recovery via fastboot but was not successful. Tried different versions even the BAT_CWM_recovery but it won't accept any except Shaky's version. Also tried the Super Tool but it won't recognize the tablet. I have previously installed the SDK and can get fastboot to run. Will try version 1.5 if it works.

Always erase the partition beforehand.
fastboot erase boot
then... as an example
fastboot flash boot boot.img
or
fastboot erase recovery
then... as an example
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Make sure you are cautious never to loose fastboot ability. Other words if your bootloader can't be obtained from restarting and hold buttons down, then make sure you don't restart till you get a successful flashing. Always have the system ADB enabled and certified with the computer.

Did what you said but still no stock recovery installed. When I reboot after erasing the old recover and flashing the stock instead of going to recovery it just boots up. Looks like the recovery never gets flashed. I did check if the tablet is being recognized by the computer before any flashing. After flashing the stock recovery it says okay so I don't know what's happening.

Yes, tablet is unlocked. Says so when I boot into the bootloader. I have flashed Shaky's CWM and it installed fine. Don't know why the tablet does not like the stock recovery. Even tried BAT-cwm recovery but also failed to install. I'll just have to wait for someone to come up with a flashable ROM if the Kitkat update comes around.

Do your best to get Bat_recovery for the recovery parititon and the 4.3.1 boot.img for the boot partition, shared on my Tegra Note Discoveries thread. Never flash the bootloader partition unless you are really know what you're doing. Then possible flash the system partition with Tom's system.img with;
fastboot erase system
fastboot flash system system.img
Tom's image should patch and is an English styled setup so you get all the Google Apps, etc.

Here's what I did:
1. Erased the system and flashed the 4.3plus system zip.
2. Erased the boot image and flashed the 4.3plus boot image.
3. Erased the recovery and flashed the bat recovery.
4. Rebooted and got stuck on the Tegra Note screen. (flashing on and off).
Tried to experiment and flashed another boot image and this time got stuck on the Tegra Note screen but this time it was not flashing on and off. Turned it off but nothing happened, Pressed the key combination to boot to the bootloader mode but failed. I thought I bricked it and then tried to go the the apx mode and was successful. This time I pressed the bootloader key combination and thankfully was successful. I thought I bricked the tablet.
Is there a way to flash the 4.2.2 ROM? Read somewhere that someone flashed the old ROM and the stock recovery. Once done he was able to update to 4.3plus. I thought there was a flashable 4.2.2 ROM at rootjunky.com but when I clicked on the link I got an error message saying that the file does not exist. I asked the poster where he got the ROM and recovery but never got a reply.
I'll try to flash the 4.3 ROM back

have you tried extracting the Rom and nvflash into the same folder and running the "download.bat" to fix this? I haven't found a nvflash that works with tegra note 7

Don't know how to do that.

I've managed to flash a 4.2.2 ROM (tried the deodex version first) but not the stock recovery. Funny thing is that only Shaky156's version can be flashed. The big problem with the ROM is that there's no wifi and that sucks big time. It means I can't update the the firmware. Will try to flash the odex version and see the wifi works. There's no access to the files too. Good thing the bluetooth works.

The no wifi problem is endemic of a broken/mismatched boot.img to system version. Get an original (eg EVGA version) boot.img not a modified rooted version, since SuperSU sideloaded will give proper root later on top of an original boot.img.
I have boot.img shared on Tegra Note Discovery thread.

Try using rootjunkie supertool and get new kit kat or flash another ROM very easy to use

No luck. I tried what e8hfff suggested but still got no wifi. I used to have a Korean version of the Galaxy S3 and I could flash the modded ROMS made for the international version only if it is converted. Some guy came up with a converter and you flash it after you have flashed the modded ROM. We might have to get something similar if we want to flash EVGA ROMs.
Right now I'm not that concerned with getting the Kitkat update since there's something wrong with it (write to SD card). Once they have come up with an update to correct the bug then I'll give it another try. SO for now, I'll stick to the 4.3 ROM.

Yes try, TegraNote_bootimg_4p3p1rip.zip first as I haven't tested the 4.4 boot.img, and only use the boot.img within as there is another directory of the uncompress boot.

Help downgrading from Nougat to Marshmallow and/or getting rid of System apps in N.

I have a problem with Nougat, and that is - i can`t deinstall system apps. I tried it with system app remover, but it fails on every app. Next i tried with a file manager, but that doesn`t work either. The folders + apk`s just won`t go away, even after a restart. Then i tried to deinstall some stuff via TWRP file explorer, but got a blank screen without any apps after loading into system again.
It wasn`t anything critical for the system to work (i know what i`m doing) so i don`t get where the problem is. I then tried to install Marshmallow, but got into a bootloop and had to reinstall Nougat.
So, if someone knows how to get rid of system apps on Nougat, or if you know how to downgrade, please tell me both. Thanks.

are you root? if so, i've had luck modifying system with Root Explorer. (not sure which explorer you were using)

I've had luck removing system apps with FX explorer, but I had to remount system R/W before it would let me. Also I'm rooted.

I'd advise against tying to downgrade from Nougat at this point, it has caused bricks for many people.

If you wish to get rid of system apps, simply flash via recovery, the lastest supersu vip; system[less], whichever your preference. If you haven't already flashed twrp after flashing Nougat, do so first.
Install Titanium Backup, and you're all set; I've done it myself and works as it should.
If you were trying to downgrade to Marshmallow, you'd need to do a backup + full wipe, and install the M bootloader, boot, system, etc, then you could restore a custom ROM backup, if you had one.

With out unlocked bootloader I don't really know. I guess you might be able to run a factory image . The latest from googles developers site .

I think i`ll try to downgrade since i don`t see the big Deal with N as of now + i have a much worse mobile data signal after updating to it. It`s almost constantly on H instead of 4g /LTE.
If someone is interested in downgrading, here`s an exact instruction that i found here on XDA:
"Download the MM stock firmware and extract all of it to a folder. Then open a cmd/terminal in the download folder (shift and right click in windows I believe, just right click and there will be a option in linux).
Then do these steps in order BACK UP YOUR APPS!!"
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
The names will be a little different, and if you want twrp put it in place of the stock recovery!
PS: Don't flash userdata
If that fails, i`ll install titanium backup to at least get rid of all the google stuff, like music, photos etc.

When I got my phone back after RMA from the BLOD it was on 7.0 and the first thing I did was flash a 6.0.1 factory image. I picked the same build number as the last Pure Nexus build in MM. I don't think flashing factory images through fastboot is a big risk as long as you are paying attention and following a good plan. Any other opinions are welcome.

Dude, does it fixes your lte issues? Because i am facing the same problem with my nexus 6p + android 7.1.1.

I personally have never had lte issues on any build, 6.x.x or 7.x.x on any custom rom or stock.
Sent from my Nexus 6P using XDA-Developers Legacy app

https://developers.google.com/android/images You need a complete factory image flash, including /data.
I had LTE problems from 7.1.2b to 7.1.1 (while I didn't have them on 7.1.1 before switching to 7.1.2b) and they were solved by factory reset.

WiFI wont work after root

I should start this off by saying that i have no idea how to root a device and i am now currently aware of how stupid my actions were.
I've searched the forums for about 2 hours now and i've yet to find a solution to this problem which is stressing me out like you wouldn't believe.
about i year ago i tried to root my Moto X Pure edition but i failed miserably so i returned to stock and lived without. This morning i decided i would try to root again but it isn't going so well.
I followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/general/root-moto-x-style-xt1572-br-marshmallow-t3259380 And everything worked fine until i noticed that my wifi wasn't working.
I then decided to flash back to the original boot image which i found from this site: http://androiding.how/systemless-root-moto-x-style-marshmallow-mph24-49-18/ But my wifi still refuses to turn back on
By now I'm a bit stressed out and not thinking straight. I then recalled that device encryption can screw with the rooting process so i decided to factory reset (how stupid can i get.)
So now im sitting at the welcome screen and my XT1575 cant find a wifi network so im going to have to restore my device over cellular data.
What do i do!?!?!?!?!!?!?
EDIT: i just realized the first link i posted was for the XT1572. I feel so stupid. how do i restore original functionality to my device?

I have had this issue before but on a Moto X Style (XT1572). You need to flash the modem again through fastboot/ADB. You first need to download the full stock firmware and extract it on a PC. Reboot your phone into bootloader mode and run the following command through command prompt/terminal:
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
You may need to do this twice as it doesn't work always first time. Refer to this post for more information:

I've learned a lot in the past two hours. I did try to reflash the modem multiple times with multiple different files without any success. I don't think the method i was following works for XT1575 specifically.
I am currently back on stock with wifi working. I like the idea of a systemless root, but i couldn't find a method that works for the Pure. So i guess i will continue to run stock until i get a new phone (that might be a while.)

I am currently back on stock with wifi working. I like the idea of a systemless root, but i couldn't find a method that works for the Pure. So i guess i will continue to run stock until i get a new phone (that might be a while.)

Glad you managed to sort out your WiFi.
If you are on stock ROM but have tried root, it means you already have an unlocked bootloader. You could always try and flash TWRP and then flash a pre-rooted stock ROM from here:
[ROM] Flashable Stock/Rooted X1575 6.0 MPHS24.49-18-4 (May security update)
This will give you what you are after minus the stock recovery. You could then just reflash the stock recovery using fastboot/ADB:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Just download the full stock of the firmware version you flashed through TWRP and then extract and flash the respective version recovery from here:
[FiRMWARE] XT1575 PuRE FiRMWARE aNd STuFF
You should then be completely stock with root.
I tried systemless root on my XT1572 and didn't get on with it. Kept having issues so just went with full root and am happy with my phone as it is; stock 6.0.1 with full root and a few stock apps removed that I don't use/need.

Thanks for the suggestion. Before I try rooting again though, is there a way to completely backup my phone to my computer without using twrp? its a pain logging into all my app and setting everything up every time i try to root my phone.

The only app I am aware of without root is Helium. I haven't tried it personally but I think you need to have an app running on your PC and the phone connected to it. I personally use TWRP with Nandroid Manager and Titanium Backup. These both need root though. You could always make a backup through TWRP prior to flashing the pre-rooted ROM, then flash the ROM as always recommended. If you run into issues, just restore the backup through TWRP, then flash the stock recovery back through fastboot/ADB to be backup to your original state.

Maybe i am missing something but why would i want to flash stock recovery after i flash for example "XT1575 Rooted 6.0 Odexed with May security update" from the first link you provided?

I think i can answer my own question now. TWRP is a "custom recovery" and after i use TWRP i can flash something over it so that i can be stock. The terminology around these parts is quite confusing

i've gone and ****ed everything up again. I flashed twrp and then tried to install a zip from the first link you provided but my phone refused to unlock
I did a factory reset from within twrp and reinstalled the zip but now my wifi isnt working again.
Is rooting always such a pain in the ass?

When rooting, there is always a risk. I have been flashing phones for over 10 years and it is always a learning experience. Even now i have occasionally done something and thought I've completely mucked up my phone. You just need to make sure you follow exactly what is stated as the procedure and if you run into problems, there is always someone at hand to help in this great forum.
Out of curiosity, did you follow the standard procedure for installing a new ROM? You will lose all data doing the standard procedure but can restore most stuff from your Nandroid backup. The steps I always do is:
1. Make a backup
2. Wipe data, system, dalvik/art and cache partitions
3. Flash your ROM
4. Wipe dalvik/art and cache again
5. Reboot

That is the standard recommended procedure for flashing all ROMs in TWRP. I have an EU XT1572 and have successfully used this ROM on my phone. The ROM contains everything you need including the modem. The modem is for the US XT1575 but worked fine on my phone. For sanities sake, I flashed the EU modem after and still had everything working.
Just another point, your phone needs to have been updated to Marshmallow before you can run one of these ROMs. If you are on Lollipop you may run into issues, especially from a radios perspective.
Another thing to point out is that all ROMs are started that you flash at your own risk. Developers will not be held responsible for anything going wrong. As long as you follow the guides and don't flash a ROM for a completely different device, you shouldn't run into any issues and more often then not can bring your phone back to a functional state if you do.

Flash twrp
Make backup
Flash su 2.62-3
Done.

Or...
1. Flash the factory image
2. Flash TWRP
3. Flash this attachment in TWRP, which will force install SuperSU 2.78 SR-1 systemless-ly. I've shared and posted about it before in this thread.
Nothing's changed with the attached zip here, except it has the latest version of SuperSU included as of this post.

New update to fix voLTE 911 bug...

So this morning I got an update to fix the voLTE bug. I'm unlocked with twrp installed and rooted. Just for the sake of experimenting I tried installing it. Well that didn't work. Just gets stuck in twrp recovery and you have to power the phone off completely to get it to boot. I guess my question (even though it's a little early) is there a way to install the update without reverting back to stock?
EDIT: Link to the zip
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BxqNotAWlwLUQ1Fzcjc2YXd4QzA

I don't believe so.
In the past you either had to go back to stock or wait on someone to create a compatible update for rooted devices.

Can you post link to zip?
If you are rooted, you can find the zip in cache folder in recovery.

Can you add what variant and build you are using before the update? Also the build afterwards?

I got the update, but all I see on my magisk rooted G5+ in /cache/recovery are log files and the fstab files. Anywhere else to look?

Yeah I can't find anything in that folder either.

I received the update and applied it. I am not rooted.
I have the XT1687 model.
My current build number is NPN25.137-35

My device BL unlocked, TWRP installed and rooted with magisck.
I'm getting the update notification and splash screens several times daily.
Anyone rooted try installing the update with Flashfire app?

If you have systemless supersu, you should just be able to apply the update after reverting to stock recovery.

So I found where the zip downloads. I wonder what flashing it in twrp would do?
EDIT: Here's the link to the zip and I've put it in the OP.

OK, so I tried flashing recovery.img from stock firmware build 33. But the OTA update will not install, instead I get an error after downloading and rebooting (red triangle at recovery mode).
So I tried fully reverting to stock firmware but I decided to skip over erasing userdata. Afterward the OTA downloaded and installed successfully. Keeping userdata does not seem to have caused an issue.
My problem now though is how to get root back without having to wipe userdata after re-flashing TWRP.
Or is this not possible and if I want to root I must first wipe userdata so that TWRP can read internal memory?

Just tried flashing it with TWRP and no luck:
Verifying current system....
E3002: Package expects build thumbprint of 7.0/NPN25.137-35/37:user/release-keys or 7.0/NPN25.137-33/35:user/release-keys; this device has .
Updated process ended with ERROR: 7
which doesn't make much sense since I rooted the stock ROM (Build number reads NPN25.137-33).

If your using a custom recovery flash the stock recovery, then go to the stock recovery and using your computer flash using adb sideboard command. I assume you already know how to do this. Hope that helps.

I'm stuck in the same boat... no idea how to flash the stock recovery and sideboard, what that even means, or if that would break root. I just followed the step-by-step "how to root" video when I first got the phone
There's a workaround to disable the "advanced LTE" or whatever it was called, so I did that. But in the meantime until a more "user friendly" means of updating is available, is there a way I can get rid of this nag screen? Way back on an earlier device (Samsung Charge?) I remember manually editing a "build.prop" file or something to match the latest version so I wouldn't keep getting the software update nag. Is there something that will do the same here, or is there a system app I can freeze in TiB?
My best guess is freezing "Moto Actions 03.022.1.4-N" because it's showing "(updated)" on the side.

What he means is you need to download the stock rom, unzip it, then boot phone to bootloader mode and connect to PC. Then flash the recovery.IMG from the stock rom folder with command prompt:
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Then you can on the phone tell it to boot to recovery mode. This will be a screen with Android on his back and the words NO Command on the bottom. Then plug to PC and use adb command to sideload the update zip like this:
adb sideload [nameofupdatefile].Zip

Strange, reflashed the stock recovery and adb can't see it (adb devices returns nothing). And when trying to install it via the normal OTA way, the stock recovery tries to install but ends with an error.

That's what happened to me when I tried reverting to stock recovery and then trying to install update from phone Settings app.
I ended up having to revert to stock rom to get ota to apply with settings app. But now I am trying to root again but after installing TWRP data is encrypted again. So looks like I will have to wipe data before re-rooting.
