Hello, i need help with this "leaked" rom that i found in this wordpress forum.
I have downloaded it and follow the instructions but when i discompress the .tgz file with 7zip i get a .tar file that isn't recognizable by the CWM recovery, but if i change the extension from .tar to .zip it seems to be a .zip to be flashed with a recovery but the size is too small... So idk if i am doing something wrong so i hope that you can help me with it, Thanks.
PD: Due to limitation of the new users to post external links i can't post the link of the rom, but if you want it i can send you the link by email.

For some reason I am not able to load the recovery images so that I can flash the rom to Madaco's ui.
When I download the recovery image it downloads as a .IMG I have unzipped it and put in in my superboot folder, run command and find the folder, but it does nothing.
Is there a special application to download .IMG? I have tried winzip a few others.
I have also used the Terminal Emulator and placed the file directly on my SDcard and opened the file from there, but nothing happens.
Any Suggestions???
Thanks in advance.
wrong place to ask a ?
you are really totally wrong here. also, if the *.img file is in a *.zip file it probably means it has been made into a update.zip that can be flashed... i can be wrong though...
in general, nothing here that has *.zip extension is generally to be opened with WinZip... the *.zip files here are update zips that can be flashed (e.g. a ROM, a radio, etc.).
best advice would be to guide you to Amon_Ra's recovery image thread (first page of Nexus One Android Development).
you can also search "Amon_Ra"
there is the topic recovery image
Everything you need is in this thread.

Hi,
Is there any Google official page with Nexus roms?
The only thing I found over the internet was direct links for downloading ZIP file.
For example:
http://android.clients.google.com/p...9.signed-takju-JWR66V-from-JDQ39.cda87c8b.zip
2. Second question:
In this page - https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
What are these meaning? What are they for? Any of it is the actuall rom that can be flashed on a NEXUS device?
Nexus Binaries
Nexus Factory Images
Thanks
You answered your own question.
The 2nd link you provided are the official Nexus firmware. The instruction to flash them are written on the page itself.
The binaries are proprietary hardware drivers if you want to build your own rom.

Thanks. What makes me confused is that in all guides, the link that provided for downloaind the ROM/version, is a ZIP file. while in Google Factory Images page it is TGZ file.
For Example:
Link that I saw in internet guides - http://android.clients.google.com/p...9.signed-takju-JWR66V-from-JDQ39.cda87c8b.zip
And in Google page:
https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/takju-jdq39-factory-5e273f02.tgz
Thanks
Google firmwares have to be flash using fastboot, they are not rom zip files.

The zip is flashable via a recovery, while the .tgz is not. The tgz must be extracted on a computer using winrar (or something similar). Inside you will find .img files which you can flash with fastboot.
That is a graet explanation, thanks
So just curios - In Google page I saw only TGZ files that can be flashed via FASTBOOT.
Where I can find ZIP files of STOCK nexus firmwares? Is there any Google page for that?
Like the link I found over the internet - http://android.clients.google.com/p...9.signed-takju-JWR66V-from-JDQ39.cda87c8b.zip

Just to be clear, you don't flash the actual tgz with fastboot... You flash the .img files found inside.
And i believe that link you have is a Google site.
Hello everyone.
I want to create my own Custom ROM. I want to make it based on Stock ROM, but I don't know how to extract it.
I downloaded the firmware from SamMobile, extracted the .tar.md5 file with 7-Zip and got the *.img files.
I read some guides about how to use Android Kitchen but I don't know how to start with the Stock ROM to make my ROM based on it, and then, use the Kitchen.
Sorry for my English.
Thanks in advance.
Greetings!
Same procedure. Extract the .img with 7zip.

It didn't work. I get a message saying "Can not open file as archive".
Any answer?
There's loads of guides around, maybe adjust your google search terms.
Seriously, there are a massive amount of guides for this, you can't be looking very hard
Kinda makes this noob sick. I just got a new Moto G4 X1625 (not Amazon). Next came the steps to unlock the bootloader with Motorola and to install TWRP. Everything had gone so easily by following some how-to steps I jumped to the next step of installing SuperSU without doing a backup – thinking it was simply adding an app. Big mistake! Reboot and now always stuck on the logo boot animation.
Okay, so I found and tried use TWRP to install ATHENE_6.0.1_MPJ24.139-13.1_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip in an attempt to get back to stock. No luck there since install always aborts with a "Could not find 'META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary' in the zip file."
I checked a couple of other ROMs and that META-INF directory doesn't seem to be included in them either.
What do I need to do just to get back to normal eliminating the effects of that SuperSU install? Help greatly appreciated.
That file you downloaded is not a flashable file.
Instead, read this linky
Thanks for the helpful clue @t0mm13b. I followed the approach at <http://www.stechguide.com/download-stock-firmware-of-moto-g4-and-g4-plus/> and executed the listed commands from my MacOS Terminal. They did the job resulting in a fresh install after bootup.
2-1/2 questions…
1. Are flashable ROM files readily available? The ones I found all seemed missing the META-INF directory. Will they be .img files and not .zip?
2. Is TWRP not useful for these stock ROMs?

As a general rule of thumb, read the accompanying text to the link of the download, on a web page where you find one. It will tell you if it's flashable or not.
Factory images, just like what you had to carry out previously, never have, and do not have the `META-INF` directory. They usually contain img files that requires `fastboot flash`.
On the other hand, OTAs and flashable zips will have that in their respective zip file.
Thanks again @t0mm13b for the clarification. I often didn't see info about whether a ROM is flashable in link or web page text, but it may have just been assumed based on being aware of what the zip contains.
I had 50pc japan version of s5(sc-04f), installed rom 'G900F.STOCK.FOR.SCL23.FULL.MINHQUAN'. The downside of this rom is that its pre-rooted. I managed to unroot it by goin in supersu & click 'full-unroot'. But i had multiple devices to flash, so is there a way for me to re-pack this firmware again after i unroot it? So that i could flash it to my other devices without root.

Your best bet is to post this question within the following Q&A thread that's specific to your device.

Should we search for this firmware or you can provide a link to its thread?

Generally, if it's 6.0.1 and rooted systemlessly, you need to replace boot.img with a stock one and remove SuperSU app from system.img.
This ROM intended to be flashed from TWRP, so it's an ext4 image.
You can mount it to a linux system on your PC and remove anything you want.
I havent done anything like this before. Could u give me some links or guides? My PC is running Windows 10.

Ok, here' a simpler way:
1. Make changes on one phone.
2. Make a TWRP backup of boot and system partitions.
3. Restore this backup on other phones. They must have TWRP installed, a 6.0.1 bootloader and modem.
You'll have to rename backup's folder path and to wipe cache/data/system before restore.
can i use winrar to extract & compile the rom, without linux? So that i will have a much faster flashing process for all other units..

Ok, I've managed to download that ROM at last.
The things look even simpler.
To prepare an "unrooted" ROM:
1. Download the zip form this post and unpack updater-script somewhere.
2. Make a copy of V3.G900F.STOCK.FOR.SCL23.FULL.MINHQUAN.zip, open it with Windows Explorer and replace V3.G900F.STOCK.FOR.SCL23.FULL.MINHQUAN.zip\META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script with the file you've unpacked from the attachment.
3. Try to flash ans see if it's what you need.
thx so much, already passed all units to the buyer. ill try that on next batch restock, may iknow if there's a way to get the service menu shortcode *#0*# to work again? This rom doesn't has the service menu.

I've replaced the updater-script in the zip file, but supersu is still there
