[Q] TWRP failed

I get a failure when trying to flash a new ROM. I have three different zips (ROMs) on my phone. None of them will install for some reason and I get a failed error and it puts something about an error when updating binary script? How could I fix this on my nexus 4?
If I need to update twrp could I do so without using goomanager to do this? Goomanager won't download the recovery so I have to use another method

You probably need to update to the latest TWRP version. Use the TWRP link in my signature and get the latest version in the "mako" folder.
Use fastboot to flash it, use the command:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
(replacing twrp.img with actual file name)
If you don't know how to use fastboot, use the 3rd link for guide on installing custom recoveries.

had the same error and resolved it like this:
installed ROM Installer vom play store
installed cwm, and then twrp again from rom installer.. worked perfectly!
BUT WHATCH OUT! i think the error you get is called "error 9".. or something like that, it appears, when you try to install a zip, and the updater-skripts cancels the installation process, e.g., because it is not hte right zip for your phone!
so look at first, if you have the right zip downloaded

need stock recovery for a2017g european Zte Axon 7

Hello
I have formatted the system in twrp and I can't do nothing except going into twrp. I want to flash the stock system but it says:
Updater process ended with ERROR: 8
Error installing zip file 'external_sd/update.zip'
So where I can find the stock recovery to be able to flash the original system recovery.
Thank you.

Just FYI , Next time you create a thread asking for things , you NEED to use the SEARCH feature of this forum.

Those files are TWRP flashable zips.

I already tried several times and each time I start flashing zte_a2017.b03_bootstack_by_drakenfx.zip it says:
Updater process ended with ERROR: 6
Error installing zip file 'external_sd/ZTE_A2017G.B03_BootStack_by_DrakenFX.zip'
So what do I do now????

How do I update to Android 7.0 on the Axon 7 (USA Model) with TWRP Recovery installed

I'm unable to unpate as of right now because I have TWRP recovery installed.
When I try to, it tells me " Package expects fingerprint of *original device fingerprint* this device has TWRP\Team_Win_Recovery_Proejct/ailsa_ii
Updater process ended with ERROR: 8
Error installing zip file '@/cache/recovery/block.map'"
I tried removing the part of the script that checks this, but then I got a different error (I don't remember what it was, it said something about "Boot:1826459185:1U57126581(Random numbers not the actual ones) contains unexpected content" or something like that
So I was wondering, how would I go and update to the new Android 7.0 update? (I also have the zip file of the update locally)
I would assume that I could flash stock recovery but a. I don't have the stock recovery.img, and b. I was reading around and someone mentioned that if I flashed stock recovery it'd delete all my data.
I'd be highly disappointed if the only way I could update to the 7.0 update is by deleting all my data. I'm sure there must be some way around it.
Can anyone help me out? I'm sure I'm not the only one that'll have this issue

EDIT: Flashed Recovery.img (Only recovery.img, via fastboot)
Results: Recovery is flashed and working.
Phone does boot up perfectly fine, no issues
Data is NOT lost.

Flashing stock recovery will not delete your data. Find your stock firmware download on the forum or zte, pull recovery.img from it and flash in twrp.
Of course those who whine about wiping data usually are the ones who need to do it most.
FYI I updated, flashed twrp and then restored data from my b29 backup without issue. At least this way you can make a new backup before attempting.
You can also wait for the flashable .zips to show up and avoid all the hassle.

Read my updated comment; Sorry that I didn't just edit the thread. And that makes sense. I think it would be wise for me to just wait.

First of all, flash rollback zip from DrakenFX.
Then update via OTA. That's all. I've done these steps yesterday and I'm using Nougat now.

I saw your post then had forgotten about it til now ( haven't checked ) but in the last month I've forgotten where the rollback zip is located / what thread. Any help would be appreciated.

Only use ota if you don't want twrp/root anymore.

Honor 8 FRD-L04 B385 update?

I just randomly went to firmware finder to refresh and found a new update for the FRD-L04, did anyone attempt to install this yet?
EDIT: I tried to install it through firmware finder and it didn't pass the verification at the end

Top right download full update it'll download once you hit that and remove the proxy but it won't get authorized when you go to install it.

Well the good news I see out of this even if we cannot install is that the update is finally coming after 2 months of the other versions enjoying it for that long. Hopefully it fixes the battery drain.

Received the OTA update for the B380 version on my FRD L09C185 yesterday. But no notable change in the battery life till now.

Thanks for the find! Your file sizes are off unfortunately, they should be:

622MB - update_full_FRD-L04_hw_usa.zip
1.3GB - update.zip

So the 622mb update file is the correct B385 update file? Can i push it to the phone via adb? Or what's the best way to install it??

Likely you'd push both update.zip and the region specific zip to where the stock recovery is expecting, then from a powered-off state use the key combinations to force-udpate. I'm unsure why there are 3 zips this time though since B360 was only 2 zips, I haven't had time yet to look at the contents.

I think you have to extract the update.app and do the update via recovery....if I remember correctly. I'd do it now but no USB-C cable here at work...

In theory, we could also just extract the recovery.img, system.img and vendor.img and flash via fastboot.....or no? I know that's generally the way I've flashed things on my Shield TV

Just tried that too, boot, recovery, and system will flash but vendor fails. When I load to the system it still shows B360 but certain parts of the OS don't work -- can't access Developer Options, for example. It seems as if this package just doesn't work right.
Update: If anybody else wants to attempt it, remove all PIN/password protection first. I had to factory reset.

Of note is that the 72309 firmware (B360) zips can be flashed from TWRP with no issue. This zip however fails to install.
Things I tried which failed:
Unpacking UPDATE.APP and force-updating from /external_sd/dload/ folder
Flashing extracted images from bootloader*
Modifying updater-script and flashing in TWRP (mountencrypt was throwing an error, others too)
Updating updater-script and update-binary and flashing in TWRP (same errors)
Flashing images from bootloader, boot and system worked but vendor failed, but the device did boot. It didn't, however, show the new software version -- but that may be because the software version is read from the vendor partition which wouldn't flash. In any event, flashing this way the device was unstable. I couldn't set a screen PIN and Developer Options would crash the Settings menu when I attempted to access it.
Someone more skilled than me would need to extract the contents of all 3 zips and make one TWRP-flashable zip.

Bricked HTC U Ultra - Need help

I have an HTC U Ultra that has been bricked. I'm able to boot the phone into download mode. This is the info I have on download mode:

I'm new to being able to reimage the phone with stock os. Can someone guide me to which files I need to install? I have the HTC sync manager, I have also tried numerous RUU files and I can't seem to find the correct file to install the stock OS. Please help!
Thanks

You should try only one - 2.21.617.1 or eventually newer but it would have to be for your model (US, SingleSIM my best guess).
Take the 2.21.617.1, save it properly named on the SD Card and boot into update.
And be more specific - what is the "brick" according to you?

The OS is completed wiped from the device, there is no user data and I can't boot into the phone. There is nothing on it except that I can boot into recovery mode using twrp. Where do I find the 2.21.617.1 version? I have scoured the internet and can't find the file. I have the US singlesim model. Please help.

If you can get into TWRP you could simply install LeeDroid 2.1 that is for single and double SIM recovery installer and save all the hustle.

I was able to downgrade to 1.64.617.17, however when I now go to update OTA the phone says
Can't update software
There was an unexpected error and the file system may be corrupted. Please contract HTC support for further assistance.
How do I fix this?

First - explain, how have you managed to perform the downgrade?
Second - do you have TWRP? If yes - OTA won't work! It has to have the original HTC recovery to handle the upgrade package.

Flash TWRP, If you already have it. Just boot to recovery and flash new custom rom or if you want stock rom so you can downgrade to nougat and then update to Oreo.
