Flash zip with Mobile ODIN Pro just with root?

Hello everyone!
Actually I am on stock Android, version 4.3, without root, bootloader onlock, etc. So it's untouched.
Now I would like to flash the following mod:
[MOD][NEXUS 4][4.3 + 4.2.2][DEODEX + ODEX][STOCK ROM] 1% Battery Mod
I want to do it with Mobile ODIN Pro. Before that, I was planing to root my Nexus with the Nexus Root Toolkit.
Do I need to unlock the bootloder as seen in the screenshot? Or is just a root sufficient?

Thank you very much in advance!

Does Mobile Odin even work with the Nexus 4? I was under the impression it mostly for Samsung products.
Why not root, install custom recovery and flash with custom recovery?

I want to get the OTA updates from google. It is not possible with a custom recovery. Is there another away? I just need this one mod.

Take the SystemUI.apk out and manually replace each battery icon in the correct folder.

Do I need a root for it? (noob question)
I read something about a possibility to load into recovery, install things and after a reboot the recovery should be deleted automatically. Or did I get something wrong?

You will need root to get to SystemUI.apk (you might be able to pull with ADB but I'm not 100% sure.
A custom recovery will not delete itself.

You can't replace the ROM installed at time of locking with another or you get a black screen. And I don't think mobile Odin is for nexus 4 being a Samsung program.

You can also use the toolkits to bring up a custom recovery temporarily without actually flashing it, so you can keep your stock recovery.

I rooted it, flashed a custom recovery and installed the mod. If google releases an update, I will flash it manually. No need for OTA Updates.
Thank you very much!

Bricked the Droid Razr M

Hello all, I was given this old droid razr m today. It was currently running android 4.1.2 with the build 9.8.1q-78. I rooted it with towelroot and tried to unlock the bootloader (which failed), so I resorted to safestrap.
On safestrap I tried flashing this one rom which apparently didn't work on safestrap. I forgot to wipe. After I flashed the rom, I rebooted. The bootloader said this:
Code:
Failed to hab check for boot: 0x56
Fastboot Reason: Boot Failure
Status code was 8 or something.
I tried flashing VZW_XT907_4.1.2-9.8.1Q-66_1FF.xml.zip from here but it failed:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I'm stuck here. I can still go into the stock recovery.
Thanks, any help is appreciated.

It looks like it failed because you tried to downgrade. You need to flash firmware that's is the same as yours or newer. Since you need to flash the same or newer, flash the 4.4 firmware, root with Towel Root, and unlock with Motopocalypse (yes, it is possible to unlock on the latest OTA).

Alright, thanks. I'm downloading the 4.4 firmware now. I'll report back with the results.

It won't let me link an image so, http puu.sh / bkzAY / 207f945b1d.png
Probably not a good sign.
EDIT: Removed the offending line from the xml file and reloaded it... it flashing now.
EDIT2: It fails.

EDIT3: Flashing system.img manually worked. It's booting now!

Good to see things worked out.

[GUIDE] Black screen after downgrade from Lolipop

Hello everybody !
If you have downgraded from Lolipop to a KitKat ROM and you have issued black screen during call, I have find the solution:
You don't need to flash the Stock ROM. Just flash a Modem from a Stock ROM, Lolipop Modem doesn't work fine on KitKat, proximity sensor is busy and the screen don't wake up during call.
You can find here the latest Stock Modem (XNPH05Q) : MEGA | MediaFire
MD5 : 2fff2a1d9719294db84b714f4389ce6f
You don't need to wipe anything and it doesn't wipe anything. Just flash it and enjoy

Can't get it to install with TWRP. When I try to do it, TWRP restarts. On reboot still get black screen on phone call. Is it indeed flashable from recovery?

Yay, of course, it's a flashable .zip, do you use the latest release of TWRP (2.8.6.X) ?

Mmh, I try to flash and it's works fine, here a screenshot :

Then there's something wrong with the recovery or file. Try Calkulin's modem? If it fails again I think there is something wrong with your TWRP. Btw, you need to manually fastboot erase modem in order to flash the KK modem. Last time I tried it won't let me overwrite Lollipop modem with KK modem.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/development/rom-stock-rooted-xnph05q-t3027033

I can overwrite LP modem with KK modem.
The flashable zip seems work fine on two OnePlus. I think it's his recovery who doesn't work

TWRP 2.8.6.0, haven't had any issues with it aside with this. Just tried flashing it, didn't know I needed to fastboot erase the LP modem.
Probably better it didn't work when I tried; made me go in search of a different rom I haven't tried yet [emoji51]

Custom Recovery?

Are there any custom recoveries out there for our s7 edge t mobile? I have it rooted now but are there any recoveries? I have been searching and had no luck.

Nope

No there arent. To flash stuff you need to download flashfire from the play store. It works just like twrp but it's a app. When you want to flash something you will select the plus sign in the bottom right corner and select zip. It's super easy to use

Thought i had found a recovery for some odd reason, and it was def. Exynos twrp. There a way to flash the stock recovery img? Im thinking of flashing through flashfire but im afraid after flashing it actually wouldnt wipe since there seems to be no recovery, only a download mode menu, whilst saying recovery booting.

I personally haven't tried but if you want to risk bricking go for it. If it's any comfort, I doubt anything will happen. Worse case scenario is that it installs, you trip Knox and unable to mount the system partition and won't be able to boot it up. But even then... Odin should still be possible. But again... I wouldn't risk it. I'm fairly sure that it's been tried. There is a QC version of the recovery somewhere that never worked via Odin back in June or so.

I personally was the first to attempt flashing twrp via flashfire. it will not work. DM-Verity kicks in and will not allow it to load. you get a BRIEF flicker of twrp loading up and it loads the failed integrity check. the good news was i was able to flash the stock files and got it loading again with no KNOX trip or errors.

your using the Binary 9 like me... i scoured the net for custom roms but to no avail. So in short, theres no root for G935PVPS9CSB1 we need to wait for the TWRP to find a root way or something. to get rid of the soft brick just flash the stock recovery OFW in odin. all you need is the 'AP_....' file . here is the link[ https://fws04.updato.com/GALAXYS7EDGE/SM-G935P/SPR/SM-G935P_1_20190208104514_im5a3nxxn5_fac.zip"] after that just wait patiently
