[STOCK RECOVERY][CONDOR][4.4.4]recovery.img

hi everyone...
IN ROUTINE FLASHING PROCESSES WE USE CUSTOM RECOVERIES......
BUT SOMETIMES FOR OFFICIAL UPDATES WE NEED STOCK RECOVERY....
SO HERE IT IS.......
EXTRACTED FROM OFFICIAL XT 1022 4.4.4 FIRMWARE......
BUT IT SHOULD WORK ON OTHERS TOO.....
If you have rooted your device once....
Only full unroot from SuperSU and flashing this recovery will not work....
YOU HAVE TO FLASH FULL FIRMWARE....
OTHERWISE OTA UPDATE WILL FAIL....(because after rooting our build.prop gets little edited....which will cause problems)
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS....
1. DOWNLOAD "RECOVERY.ZIP".
2. U MUST HAVE mfastboot/fastboot AND adb tools EXTRACTED IN A FOLDER ON YOUR PC.
3. EXTRACT RECOVERY.ZIP IN THE SAME FOLDER.
4. PUT YOU PHONE IN BOOTLOADER MODE.
5. CONNECT IT TO PC AND OPEN THAT FOLDER.
6. OPEN CMD WINDOW HERE BY PRESSING SHIFT+RIGHT CLICK.
7. ENTER FOLLOWING COMMAND.

curiosity, how you extract the recovery from original firmware?

I have used flashify to flash stock recovery before. It seemed to have worked. Its super easy as well and requires no computer. Try at your own risk.

If you need your stock recovery your already rooted and have a custom recovery in place. So therefore your device has an unlocked boot loader. Flashify can flash recovery IMG without even powering into recovery.

Hello pospower,
I hope you are new to the community, so first of all, welcome to the Nexus 6P section.
I advise you to read the sticky threads here at the section. First in the list would be: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/questions-section-t3214020
Over to your query now. Bootloader has no relation to rooting, except one, that it should be unlocked. Unlocking the bootloader will enable you to flash TWRP recovery, which in turn would be used to flash SuperSU v2.71 flash-able zip.
For detailed instructions, please refer to section #1, #2, and #6 in the following thread: [GUIDE] Unlock/Root/Flash for Nexus 6P
I hope this helps. Best regards.

boot.img my bad i was refering to this below
Download the latest TWRP Recovery. Please note: if you're on MHC19I or above you must use TWRP 3.0.0-1 or above, otherwise TWRP won't be able to decrypt. Also, if you want to use TWRP with the Android N Developer Preview you must use TWRP 3.0.0-1 or above, and you must also flash the modified boot.img found here.

TWRP is having issues with encrypted filesystems right now. You can either flash TWRP v3.0.0 or decrypt your 6P.
The decryption process should be carried out just after you flash the modified boot.img.
To decrypt, you will need to connect your device in bootloader mode and enter the following command:
Code:
fastboot format userdata
(Please note that this will wipe your complete internal storage).

OK got twrp working 3.0.0
Now it's asking for a password to get to decrypted files.
Any suggestions?

That is weird. I have done the same thing like twice or thrice since the last two days, and it has worked like a charm.
If you're decrypted, TWRP v3.0.0-1 should work fine.
Are you sure you wiped complete storage using fastboot format userdata command?

Yes

Try switching to a different version of TWRP, and see if any one of them works for you.

It is the 3.0.2-0 that has the encryption fix. Root on Nexus is achieve normally without a PC, until you choose to use the Chainfire Auto Root tool.
Just flash the latest SuperSU flashable through recovery.

Yes, do that. Flash latest TWRP using Flashify or FlashFire, but that may require root permissions, as far as I remember.
And then, once you have entered TWRP, you can flash the SuperSU zip: https://download.chainfire.eu/964/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.74-2-20160519174328.zip

Then you must get your hands on a PC, and flash TWRP manually through fastboot. Hopefully the latest version will successfully decrypt your device.

That's the only option I am left with.. thanx..
I thought some app like framaroot or king root might have helped

therefore i am unable to root or flash anything.
further i tried side-loading super su .. it installed however after installing there is not root access
further, i am able to use my sd card from the phone but not from twrp
cant think of a way ahead.. i have flashed modified boot also.. is there any other link to modified boot that i can try flashing??
edit: the issue is twrp doesnot work with android n dp3.

You did right when you flashed the modified boot.img, but decryption requires complete data wipe too. Alone, the boot.img wouldn't work. It just disables encryption on the boot.
Do all of this while your phone is connected in bootloader mode.
Pick up and flash the boot.img corresponding to your build number, which I guess is NPD35K. (Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/stock-modified-boot-img-regular-root-t3306684)
Then, stay there in the bootloader mode and enter the 'fastboot format userdata' command. Please be sure to backup first, since the format command will wipe off the complete internal storage and all the apps.

Just looking for someone to point me in the right direction

So I decided to root my phone ...I used the latest Windroid toolkit ..now I was able to unlock the boot loader and install/flash TWRP. here is my issue when I click on the Flash SuperSU button I get this error "wrong device state ! please ensure that your device is in Android! any help on how to finish flashing it would be appreciated.
Windroid toolkit 3.1.0
Thanks

My best guess is that you're trying to root it from fastboot. Load it into recovery instead. If that doesn't work, change direction and figure out how to flash a stock Rom with root pre-installed or check chainfire for his rooting utilities.

Point you in the right direction? Don't use a toolkit...
Rooting is simple on Moto devices:
1) Unlock bootloader
2) Flash TWRP
3) In TWRP, go to Advanced - Terminal
4) Enter "echo SYSTEMLESS=true>>/data/.supersu"
5) Flash latest SuperSU in TWRP+
6) Reboot and enjoy the rooty goodness
That's it.

I also used the Windroid toolkit and I have exactly the same problem as muelo1000, however all the help here did not solve the problem. I can flash SuperSU but after rebooting I get a black screen just after the Motorola logo. It's completely stuck. I can boot into TWRP or bootloader but that's it. Any help or advice would be welcome? Thanks.

Working root for honor 8 pro

This is only for Honor 8 Pro (DUK-L09)​
DISCLAIMER​YOUR WARRANTY IS NOW VOID. IN NO WAY AM I RESPONSIBLE FOR THE EFFECTS YOU INFLICT ON YOUR MOBILE DEVICE BY FOLLOWING THE BELOW PROCEDURE. IMPROPER USAGE OF THE METHOD MIGHT END UP BRICKING YOUR DEVICE AND RENDERING IT UNUSABLE.
PLEASE BACKUP ALL YOUR DATA BEFORE PROCEEDING.​
Purpose of this thread is to provide a working rooting method for the Honor 8 Pro. Flashing Phhsuperuser doesn't grant SYSTEM WIDE root permission.
Functions like granting -rw permissions to apps demanding them for accessing /system partition was disabled, TWRP backup wouldn't work.
With this method, you will be able to operate the phone will proper root privileges.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. UNLOCK BOOTLOADER​
Assuming you have a Huawei ID, use THIS PAGE to get your Unlock code.
Once you have that, enable USB debugging on your device from Developer options menu.
Make sure "Allow OEM unlock" option is selected.
Use the following set of commands via ADB/Fastboot:
adb device (this should recognize your device)
adb reboot bootloader (this will boot your phone into fastboot mode)
fastboot oem unlock *unlock key* (the part between * is where the unlock key goes)
The device will restart and then perform factory reset itself.
2. INSTALL CUSTOM RECOVERY IMAGE (Source : TWRP Thread by OldDroid)​
Download TWRP recovery image from HERE
Rename the downloaded file to recovery.img
Copy it to the ADB folder that you are using.
Use the command "adb reboot bootloader" like in Step 1 to boot into Fastboot mode.
Flash the recovery using "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" command (without quotes)
You have now flashed a custom recovery onto your phone.​
3. ROOTING
Download Magisk installer zip file from THIS LINK . I had personally used v 13.3 .
Copy it to your SD card(I would suggest you to use a external card).
Switch off your device.
Boot into recovery mode by pressing Volume Up and Power Button together.
Once in, swipe to allow modifications.
Go to Wipe - Format Data
Then Go to Reboot- Recovery
You should be back into the recovery mode. Go to Install menu - Select storage - Install the Magisk zip that you downloaded.
Once it is flashed, you can Reboot to system.
Note: To confirm system wide root access, you can reboot to recovery and try to take a Nandroid backup. It should now be possible.​
If anyone happens to run into a bootloop or soft bricks the device, THIS THREAD by @aKp1 will come in handy.
Thanks to @OldDroid for his TWRP thread.

I am rooted using phhs superuser, do I need to unroot first? If yes, I can't find how to unroot the Indian variant.

Yes you will have to unroot first. Since phhsuperuser doesn't have a option to UNROOT, you will have to flash stock ROM.
To do that, download the following: HUAWEI UPDATE EXTRACTOR and STOCK ROM .
Follow below steps:
Extract the Stock ROM
Use the Update extractor and select "Update.app" file. That should give you a list of files. Select "recovery.img" and "recovery2.img" image files and extract them.
Copy them to ADB folder. Boot your phone into fastboot mode, flash the two recovery files you copied.
Next, Copy the "dload" folder to your SD card(preferably external SD). Switch your phone off. Press Vol Up,Vol Down and Power button together. The ROM should start flashing. That brings you back to stock firmware. If you want to re-root, follow the instructions in this thread.

Oh wait. Isn't the format data option remove some necessary apps like keyboard and others? Because that's the case before in my Honor 8. After you remove encryption, you need to reflash the region zip so that some important files will be retained.

The zip I shared is for the Indian variant . As long as someone is having C675(Indian variant) installed, it shouldn't cause issues. However if you come from a different region(C432) , you will have to use region zip. I guess I mentioned that in the TWRP thread, current last post.
But formatting data can't be avoided as unlocking bootloader will wipe it in first place . More over stock ROM encrypts data on first boot, so you will have to format data(decrypt it) and proceed with rooting.

Wut. So you mean to tell me, that after I decrypt, I should just go ahead and flash Magisk, then reboot? No more additional zip to flash? Sorry man this is getting out of my head.

That's correct. As simple as that. Decrypt , flash Magisk and you are done. I don't know why many didn't try this all this while.

Yes magisk will solve your problem. Phhsuperuser doesn't allow you to grant permissions to any app that tries fiddle with system partition. If you are already rooted , go back to stock and follow the steps outlined.

How to decrypt? I successfully rooted with magisk v14 but adaway is disabled after reboot, same case as phhs superuser.

You flashed Magisk while encrypted?

You need to wipe data (which will decrypt) and then flash Magisk.
Read point no.3 of the installation instructions.

Have you managed to root your device using Magisk yet?

I wiped data, flashed Magisk v13.3 and then v14 after a successful boot (without wipe).

Hello...now i am going back to stock rom b130..from phh superuser.... i am going to follow your instructions of rooting using magisk after this...
But before that i hv one question....should i upgrade to b140 and then follow op..or should i remain in b130 rom itself and start from there..

Stay with 130. Surprisingly, rooting by this method still allows OTA to come in.
