Thanks and thanks to you and other dev's who was part of this forum, you have made a job which can't be forgotten!

Great. This must be a record. Not so famous device, still getting superb support from devs. Lets see what happens to Android L.

It seems that I must be doing something wrong.
I am using TWRP manager to install the recovery img
choose the downloaded img from the SD card
but when I try to install I get a WARNING that says
1><p> The requested URL /install_command/ was not found on this server. </p>
any idea what I am doing wrong.
obviously rebooting into recovery mode does not work

I have not never used TWRP manager so I do not have experience with it. I suggest you to use pink screen to replace the recovery.

I have access to the pink screen, but it seems it is locked and don't have access to the internal storage.
I suppose I need some custom bootloader for that. Any ideas which is appropriate for the B928 version I am using from Huwaie ?
and once I get access to the internal storage where do I place the new recovery image ?
thanks in advance for all the help.

Yes, you need unlocked bootloader, take a look in here: Official ICS 4.0.3 V100R001C00B928 with unlock pink screen. When you boot your phone to pink screen the recovery can be found from "image" folder.

I tried those instructions and they don't seem to work.
If I attempt it from the normal recovery screen I get a
Code:
update package;s ext name error
E:ota_pre_update error
Maybe will try to flash everything ie reinstall B928 as well and not just try to unlock the pink screen.
Will keep you posted.

If I try to flash outside the recovery it fails and in dload directory the sd_update.log says
Code:

I formattted the SD card but that was not the problem.
Interestingly enough if I try to flash with the official Huawei ROMs same thing happens. I am bit at a loss

In that case unfortunately I can't help you much but you can't flash update.app via recovery, they must be applied via "force update" method which is that dload thing or via stock rom "update" option. You don't have a recovery or a OS now? One thing you can test is to take off the battery and power your phone with USB cable only to apply the update.app, I have heard it helped someone's.
btw, why you didn't unlocked your pink screen in the first place when you upgraded to ICS?

At the moment my phone works fine with the stock 4.0.3 official android version from Huawei after I managed to replace the bootloader.
I tried without the battery and just the USB cable still no joy.
As for the why I did not unlock it, good question. At the time cyanogenmod was behind ver 4.0.3 for my phone so decided to stick with the official ROM and then to be frank I forgot about it.
I will contact the TWRP manager devs to see if they can fix their app so it applies TWRP without the need for going through the pink screen.

I did just that and now the phone is in even bigger trouble.
When I boot it it says
Code:
Image signature verify fail!
Your boot/recovery image may have an incorrect signature.
Please update your image to a signature official one.
You can remove battery for power down.
USB in pink screen mode is not functioning and it seems I cannot flash with any of the official ROMs (which is VERY weird since I did update the phone to 4.0.3 at some point in the past).

Support for F2FS file system
Added support for F2FS file system.
What is F2FS file system?
F2FS (Flash-Friendly File System) file system is a flash file system initially developed by Samsung Electronics for the Linux operating system kernel (source). Here is some benchmark made with Xperia Z1 [Benchmarks] File System Performance: F2FS vs EXT4.
For now there is no ROM which uses F2FS file system but in future there may be.

Found one bug with f2fs its fail in restore f2fs system backup data and cache are ok.
If you need you need f2fs backup just backup your current rom
Then rename and replace every "ext4" with f2fs.

TWRP Backup Lollipop [22.39-5 OTA] EDIT 11/27/2014 latest [22.39-6 OTA]

I was able to create a TWRP backup of the ota after I installed it on my Moto X XT1095. I was able to flash this using TWRP from kitkat.
After flashing this, you will have the new ota, however it will not have the new baseband (you will retain the original baseband from your previous installation, in other words this does not include the modem). I believe that you should be able to flash this to any one of the XT variants as long as you are able to flash a custom recovery (in this case TWRP, I used 2.8.1.0 if that matters)
I had to create new folders on the internal storage due to the fact that I was unable to create a backup of kitkat. All I did was create a new folder on the internal storage called TWRP, inside that folder I created a folder called BACKUPS within that folder I created a folder that has the unique alpha-numeric name to each device, and finally in that folder I placed this backup file. TWRP/BACKUPS/unique alpha-numeric name/2014-11-09--11-34-04 LXE22.39-5. Then I booted to my TWRP recovery performed a factory data reset along with wiping cache and dalvik, then performed the restore.
If you don't know what your unique alpha-numeric folder name is, you can find this by booting to twrp and try to perform a backup (this is how I found out what my folders name was). I got an error, within that error was the path (it is verbatim and case sensitive).
If anyone wants to try this, here is the link.
Unzip and place in the folder I described.

Let me know how it goes. I won't be able to offer much help other than what is provided here, if I have the time I will try. I hope I didn't make this to confusing. If it works for you, hit the "thanks".
Moderators, If this is not in the correct category please feel free to move it. Thanks

i appreciate you sharing this... question for u (or to make sure i understand how you tested the 5.0 Nandroid): after flashing the OTA, did you restore your 4.4.4 Nandroid (confirm it works: calls, data, etc.), factory reset and wipe and then restore your Lollipop 5.0 Nandroid (boot and confirm it works: calls, data, etc.)? thanks in advance for your reply.

After the inital OTA, I wanted to see if I could get back to 4.4.4 stock unrooted. I accomplished this by running the tool created by bhp090808. After that, I unrooted through supersu, I flashed the att modem found on graffixnyc site. I then flashed "MotoX(2014)_stock_install-recovery_sh" (with twrp) that 0.0 provided in post number 124 from the "[OTA ZIP] Pure Edition Lollipop 5.0" thread. Finally I flashed stock recovery to achieve a stock 4.4.4 system. Everything worked. After I confirmed that everything worked I did the ota again just to see if it would flash. It did, from there I was able to flash twrp, but after you reboot from twrp on the new ota you lose the twrp recovery....there is a new feature in the latest twrp recovery that allows you to move a file from pc to phone internal storage, that is how I was able to create the nand.
Funny thing is, you cannot create a backup from twrp with 4.4.4 but you can from the new 5.0 ota.
Hope this answered your question.
BTW, this nand is of the 5.0 just to clarify, like I said I was unable to make a nand of the 4.4.4

That's funny. I can do a TWRP backup just fine in 4.4.4.
Did you advanced->fix pemissions in TWRP?

follow along with the way i accomplished unrooting. i can confirm this works, I have done it several times now with consistent success.
BTW, this is not to be flashed, rather done through the "restore" feature of the twrp recovery. By placing this folder in the backups you will be able to access it through restore.

LOL. This message brought a smile on my Monday morning face.

I can't copy the folder to my phone. It says it's too large. How can I do it?

Make room by deleting stuff? If that's not the problem then I don't know.
Maybe try pushing the folder with adb.

Did anyone try this on the XT1092?
Thanks in advance.
MY DEVICES: Moto x 2014 (XT1092), Nexus 7 2013 (razor), HTC Desire X (proto)

Unfortunately, I keep getting "invalid crc file for system.ext4.win000" when trying to copy the backup to the final destination folder. Been using Solid Explorer. I'll try another just in case.
Edit: ES File Manager worked. Also, for me, TWRP 2.8.1.0 will not backup, but 2.8.0.1 will. For what's it's worth.

XT1097, but it doesn't really matter for the problem I'm having.

adb push <file> /storage/emulated/0/

[Q] error excecuting updater binary in zip with twrp

hi guys when I try to flash a rom appears the message "error excecuting updater binary in zip" someone know how to solve it?
Sorry for my bad english

Your English is fine. Check to make sure there are no spaces in the file name, and if there are, replace them with dashes or underscores. Then try running the zip again.

there is no space in the name :\ maybe can be a problem of the recovery's version ?

I mentioned it because the presence of spaces was the reason my copy of Optimized CM12 failed to install. What version of TWRP are you running?

2.8.5.0

Upgrade. 2.8.6.0 is available from the TWRP homepage (once the page comes back up), though I believe a customized copy is available for Alucard and Antares One's Optimized CM12 build in I9505 Original Android Development.
EDIT: 2,8.6.0 can be downloaded from here.

AntaresOne's TWRP will convert the system to F2FS automatically when flashing a rom. He said he was going to make it a choice in a future update. Don't know if he gotten around doing so.

This problem started when I tried to flash cyano 12 based on 5.1.1 (by AntaresOne) before doing this everything was fine. Maybe the recovery couldn't convert system to F2FS, can be this?

It doesn't necessarily needs to be converted. It can run with the default ext4 too. Problem with converting is that it will wipe your internal storage. So that into account.

I had the binary updater issue occur on a flashable zip I made. The cause? I accidentally deleted the line that told TWRP to mount the system partition. Restoring the line solved the issue, so check the script. The developer may have accidentally missed a line.

thank you guys I upgraded the recovery and now it works fine thank you very much

[NANDROID] Motorola Marshmallow Soak test v5 - Dec 13 - makes other phones jelleh!!

This is considered a beta rom. Things may break, things may change, and your phone may brick or turn into a portable toaster. I'm not responsible.
You are flashing this at your own risk!!!
This is a nandroid backed up from a US 2gb/16gb xt1540. It may or may not work on all models...that is to be determined.
Confirmed compatible variants:
XT1540 (US 1/8GB and 2/16GB) (Canada)
XT1541 (UK) (France)
(if your variant is not here it only means it's either not tested or not reported working. please test and report back!)
If you are unable to boot or obtain any signals after flashing this, it is highly recommended you flash a full factory image intended for your specific model and wait for another solution.
This is only meant to be a temporary fix while we wait for the big guys to build us a standard rom.
PLEASE READ THE GUIDE BELOW!!! Some things have changed with v3
How to install:
Extract the .tar.gz archive like any zip
copy the folder to the directory where your other TWRP nandroids are on your internal storage or sd card (TWRP/BACKUPS/ZZY222____/) in here you will see folders with dates, times, rom names and info, etc in the folder names...copy the folder you extracted to this directory.
boot to TWRP
restore this backup
if coming from anything but a previous soak test, wipe userdata
wipe cache and dalvik cache
flash systemless root zip SuperSU v2.61 (optional) DO NOT flash any lower SuperSU version!!
reboot (Please be patient...it's a VERY long wait. If you pass 10 minutes waiting and it hasn't booted, force a reboot by holding the power button)
profit!
***It is HIGHLY recommended US xt1540 users update their radio. It is not required to run this soak test, though. THIS IS ONLY FOR US USERS!!!!! DO NOT FLASH THIS IF YOU ARE NOT IN THE UNITED STATES!!!!***
See this post for the updated soak test modem.img files (just flash to the modem partition with fastboot and reboot the device)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/201...-devs-moto-g3-xt1540-soak-test-files-t3255643
For anyone who is not in the contiguous USA (48 states) but still has xt1540 and would like to test the modem above, you can use the app linked below to back up your modem partition directly from your device before you try the new modem. This way you don't have to download a factory rom to get the right modem.img if you don't already have one backed up on your computer. You have to be rooted to use it.
Wanam Backup & Restore app (free)
How to root:
Please see this thread for the download:
http://www.xda-developers.com/update-to-snapprefs-xposed-module-includes-17-instagram-like-filters
The newest root method provided by chainfire does not touch the system partition. To the end-user, the only change is that when you flash a new kernel you must re-flash superSU....not your rom!!! What this means to us in this case is we can use the stock kernel provided with the soak test, flash the superSU zip, and have root, just like a Nexus device without having to wait for a permissive kernel!
*****After flashing the new systemless root zip you will be prompted to install superSU before the device reboots. DO NOT ALLOW IT TO INSTALL!!!!!! If you allow it to install with this option you will get a bootloop*****
**To view your device storage from your computer, open your notification shade, click the "USB for _____" notification, and select "transfer files (MTP)". It won't stick through a reboot, so you'll have to do this each time you boot.....the same thing goes if you unplug the cable.

Gonna try it on my xt1540. Just one question about the procedure. I just restore backup directly? Without wiping anything? Or should i wipe system at least?

TWRP wipes for you automatically in the restore process. You don't have to wipe system manually. Just restore wipe userdata and reboot!

We will only get an update if our friend who is an official tester shares it with us.

Okay, it worked. I booted up perfectly, but as i needed my phone completely stable for today i reverted back to LP. But it worked well I think ill wait for a stable version though, it kind of lagged compared to LP.

have you tried manually entering your carrier's APN information?

I'm having issues extracting the System folder from the backup.
Any ideas? Trying to cook up a flashable ROM for easier testing.

you can extract with any of the popular file managers for android right on your phone if you'd like. It may take a little longer, but it will work.

Apparently it was just an issue with 7-zip, WinRAR handled it perfectly.
This is my first time making a flashable ROM but it should be up later today.

WAS-LX2 stock image needed

I tried to install custom roms but I ended up bricking(?) my phone
*not exactly, some roms boot but it'll reboot itself
I've tried finding stock roms but it's either an UPDATE.app that my phone won't update into or the image is of another model like WAS LX1 or WAS L01 (and flashing other models result in a bootloop)
Hope someone can help out

If you still have a backup, you can try to restore it and then there is firmwarefinder, so reboot to bootloader and from the PC execute "fastboot oem get-build-number". You need your exact build number, I guess. Maybe the last 3 numbers don't matter, not sure.
My build number is WAS-LX2JC719B210. (If you have custom rom installed and try to get the build-number, then you will get the build-number of the custom rom).

Not sure how to do this though.... Always fails at 5%...

I also just came to know that you need the original recovery partition to use the update.app method (for reinstalling stock). Well, at least for WAS-LX2J... I tried to install the recovery extracted from update.app, but still didn't succeed...
As I still have an backup (except recovery and data partitions), I was still able to get back to my stock rom.
I would prefer any other custom rom though...
Any way, good luck to you! :fingers-crossed:

Wow, thanks for the info.
Is there any way to backup the data partition? - If not, then I would have to setup the whole system for stock again, in case that anything goes wrong...
I tried manual backup of the userdata partition using dd, but somehow the "data partition" was corrupted afterwards, showing a size of 0 and format of ext4 (didn't touch that though)...
