Attention everyone
You'll need latest signed zip to update your device to latest version.
Interested one can read this for reason.

I flashed the zip from recovery skipping the md5 verification. It has worked for me! I have only losed my root permission!

If you are on stock recovery then just flash signed zip. Zip signature verification is only for custom recovery like TWRP. To disable zip signature verification in TWRP recovery, goto TWRP setting and uncheck 'zip file signature verification' and while flashing don't select 'zip file signature verification'. File will be falshed without checking for any MD5 file checksum.

Obviously, you'll need a custom recovery. Flash TWRP recovery and afterwards flash SuperSU from TWRP recovery.

Can't backup ROM, "sd marker not found"
Any ideas?
It said that to me when trying to use the app to backup but I did it manualy and it worked fine.
Any advantage/disadvantage of flashing the new CWM through ROM Manager, or manually through ODIN? Btw, do you flash this through ODIN or (old) CWM since this is a .img file?
Just so ppl know, you can find all CWM Recoveries here:

No problem!
Another tip, backups made with the older CWM recovery (the unofficial one, the one you probably flashed after rooting initially), those older backups may not be compatible with the newer, official versions. I'm using the latest CWM Touch 5.8.4.6 and it seems to backup system and data differently

If you downloaded the CWM img file rename it to just "recovery.img" then put it on the root of your SD
Open up Mobile Odin, Select "Open File", then select your recovery.img (I put it on Internal Storage)
After you select your recovery.img, before you select Flash Firmware, it should list the recovery.img in the recovery slot
Then you should be all set. Select Flash Firmware and after it flashes you should automatically be rebooted into recovery (I suggest making a backup ASAP just to be safe)
Phew... Glad to see there is a fix... I thought I was losing my freaking mind when I tried backup of my rom....

The mobile Odin way did not work for me. After I flashed the img file, rebooted and tried to do a backup using Clockwork mod, the phone rebooted and gave me the same errors as posted above! ???Help???

This may be a dumb question but, couldn't we just install ROM Manager and flash the CWM recovery with it, like I used to do on my EVO 4G?

the team epic guys has set us up with a recovery that would stick cause the first samsung ota automatically reverted to their own recovery instead of cwm. maybe this issue is related. it just keeps overwriting what you flashed thinking that it's a bad (Samsung) recovery. don't know for sure as i haven't tried it yet.

that defeats the purpose of this new, "supported" recovery as i would like the option to flash things and manage backups via rom manager.

It's broken my root, though that's probably because I used the OTA update rather than flashing in recovery.
I got it too.
in the update file a some changes at:
keymaster / keystore
camera firmware
framework
services and telephony-common
what exactly has changed I do not know.
root + recovery need to be flashed again. but no problems.
if root and recovery need to be flashed again, did you just do the ota update from the sytem or did you sideload the zip and flash it from recovery?
I'm on JLS36C Rooted, with the ElementalX Kernel and Teamwin Recovery (V2.6.3.0) but the "JLS36I from JLS36C" fails to flash for me from the Teamwin Recovery. Any hints on the process to do this update?

First go back to stock kernel, then remove any custom modified files from stock, then try to do the OTA update.

You can run the OTA perfectly fine, you will lose Root and Recovery after you OTA, but you can get back those 2 anytime you want. Grab the CF-Auto-Root of chainfire (its on the Android Original Dev forum) and you will get root back.

1. Go into SuperSu settings to enable survival mode.
2. Download the OTA directly on your Nexus as you would without root and restart to install.
3. It will be installed by TWRP, root will be kept, but TWRP will be gone.
4. Reflash TWRP in Fastboot.

[Q] getting back to stock after cwm

Hello everyone,
today I rooted + bootloader unlocked my N4 with Towelroot and after that I installed Multirom because I wanted to try the Android L developer Preview.
After realizing that a rooted device with a custom recovery won't get official OTA updated anymore I want to have my stock N4 back
I did not install any rom.
Is there a way I can get my stock recovery back WITHOUT having to set up my device again?
I mean, only the recovery should have changed.
I have a mac and a Win XP PC for any tools. I am running stock Android 4.4.4 and kernel 3.4.0-perf-ga6edd5e
Very thankful for any help
If all you need to do is get the stock recovery back you can do that in fastboot. The factory image includes recovery.img. Flash that
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

It's easy to do. First Google 15 second adb install xda. That'll set up fastboot on your pc. Then Google nexus 4 factory image. Download that and then extract it using winrar or 7-zip. In there you'll find a zip file. Extract that too and you'll find recovery.img.
Boot your device into the bootloader and then in a command prompt opened in the same directory as recovery.img is located run the commands I gave you earlier. You'll then have the stock recovery on your device.

I do not find a second archive in there.
Could it be that the recovery.img is also called 'boot.img' ?

no. Boot.img is the kernel. There should be a zip file in there. In there is recovery.img
Edit, out should be called image- something or other
Edit, edit. If you found boot.img, recovery should be in the same directory as it

I'm not familiar with the Mac, but another alternative is to do it from your phone. Get flashify from the play store and flash the recovery.img in it. Just copy recovery.img to your phone

To check just boot into the bootloader and go to recovery. The stock recovery should be there.
To get the ota you can not have any modified or deleted system files.

Mmh the stock recovery is the Android lying on the back, correct?
So If I have the stock recovery+no rom installed I should get updates, correct?
Root and an open bootloader has no effects to it?

Hello @jd1639
I was just trying to sideload the lollypop OTA file via fastbootand I does not install correctly. There is always an error.
Could this have anything to do with the root access and the unlocked bootloader?
I think I read somewhere something like rooted devices will get the OTA update but will not be able to install them correctly.
Is there a way to get that to work without erasing my data?

Are you flashing it in the stock recovery? If not flash the stock recovery in fastboot and try it again. To use adb sideload you need to be booted into recovery not fastboot

[Q] SuperSU can't detect su binary after reboot

I rooted my phone with Kingroot, and ran this script to replace the Kinguser with SuperSU: http://www.w0lfdroid.com/2015/05/How-to-Remove-Replace-KingUser-KingRoot-with-SuperSU.html?m=1
After launching SuperSU it updates the binary and everything works fine until I reboot my phone. Now when I launch SuperSU it says no su binary installed. Using es file explorer I can see the su is in /system/xbin where it should be but SuperSU can't see it.
After rerooting with Kingroot and doing the same process over SuperSU will once again work fine until I reboot my phone. Anyone know what's going on and how I can get SuperSU to work properly?
Anyone?
I tried flashing the SuperSU.zip, but when I launch the app it fails to update the binary. I've also tried installing ChainsDD Superuser but it also fails to update the binary. I've even tried manually copying, setting permissions, and symlinking the files found in the SuperSU.zip, but it still fails to update.
I don't like using Kingroot because apps like Titanium Backup and Lucky Patcher don't work with it's su binary. Has anyone encountered this before? Why won't SuperSU update? And when it does update why can't it survive past a reboot? This is stressful ha. Any help is very much appreciated.
By the way I'm using a Cricket Galaxy S4 (SGH-I337Z). It's a weird model that few people seem to know about (I337ZTUUBOA1). The only root method that works on it is Kingroot otherwise I would have just rooted it some other way.
I had an idea wile reading your post could u try flashing TWRP for ur phone then rooting with the built in installer might be worth a try but u might need to Un root or flash back to what ever firmware ur using to remove root so that TWRP sees that ur not rooted

When u boot into system from TWRP it will ask you if u want to root the system but it only asks if TWRP can't detect root.

Try rooting with kingroot, then uninstall king user by going into king user and unrooting. Once that is done, download the newest version of SuperSU.zip (update-supersuv2.46.zip I think is newest) then copy to phone storage, reboot to twrp and then flash the SuperSU zip. Reboot and profit!
Hope this helps!

Try rooting with kingroot, then uninstall king user by going into king user and unrooting. Once that is done, download the newest version of SuperSU.zip (update-supersuv2.46.zip I think is newest) then copy to phone storage, reboot to twrp and then flash the SuperSU zip. Reboot and profit!
Hope this helps!

Still no luck I think it's an issue with the SuperSU app. Something during a reboot causes it to break for some reason. I really hope it can be fixed :/
Well only thing I can think of is odin to stock and start over or find a nice custom rom that works with your phone that comes pre rooted if there are any.......

MMB29K 6.0.1 OTA Lottery Wait Room : Here We Are Again!

Please post below when you got the OTA and what carrier you're on!
I always love to watch how the OTA's hit peoples devices. From where they're located to what carrier they're on, its interesting to see who gets it first and sadly last.
I am stock, MDB08L 6.0.0, T-Mobile US. The wait begins.
Here we go again! People *****ing about updates!
Hahaha [emoji23]

Nope. Flashed everything but userdata
Thinking about manually flashing this since I'm rooted on the modified boot.img.
What steps do I need to take? Unroot then flash everything then reflash modified boot then reroot?
Flash bootloader, radio, boot, cache, system, vendor and then systemless root boot. No need to unroot. Flashing the OEM boot might not be needed but I do it anyway. I boot into Android and then boot to recovery and flash superuser

I flashed using the flash-all.bat script. Deleted "-w" from the script to get rid of the data wipe. Reinstalled TWRP and re-rooted using the traditional root method. I used the modified boot image for MDB08M.

How did you get the flash-all.bat script to work? It never did for me.. Do you have to get bootloader unlocked?

Yes. Beware, doing so will wipe your phone.

Bootloader must be unlocked. It's even in the flashing instructions on the Factory Images download page.

No wipe if you delete "-w" from the script.

I was warning him about unlocking the bootloader.
Just updated via fastboot and regular root using BETA SuperSU 2.52 with the modified boot.img from the MDB08I/MDB08M builds and everything was working well but I just now noticed my camera shows a black screen. Rebooting didn't help so I'm wiping cache in TWRP and if that doesn't work going to redownload and reflash the images.
Edit: Seems to be an issue with using the old modified boot image from MDB08I/MDB08M for root from Chainfire, exploring now....
Edit 2: Just loaded the boot.img from the MMB29K build but now it seems like I'm in a bootloop. Going to reflash everything again to confirm it's the modified boot.img from MDB08I/MDB08M causing the camera not to work.
Edit 3: Reflashed System and Boot from MMB29K build which obviously removes system root but the Camera is working again. Looks like we will need a modified boot.img from the MMB29K build for system root to work.

I manually flashed everything, but essentially the same process. I also used the 8m modified boot.img
