TWRP 3.0.0-1 question - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I usually flash images via my PC, which is currently down. Has anyone had experiences with image flashing in twrp? Stable? Any major problems I should be aware of?
Thanks

The new version of TWRP 3.0.0.1 is able to flash img-files. But every IMG I have flashed was/is available as flashable zip-file.
For N6 you could look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3059493

I've not tried that myself. I would not try flashing N beta, as long there is no PC available to solve issues.
Better ask in this thread.

Super stable. I've flashed many images with TWRP and never had an issue.

I am looking forward to a touch recovery! Let's hope we see it soon...
I've avoided Twrp so far as everything I have read said it isn't stable on atrix HD(i could be wrong).
Though, I would love to try new recovery images...Not sure what the gain would be with an updated CWM, though to try a completely different one would be fun.
Touch isn't that important to me, but I would give it a whirl if the opportunity was there.

The latest can be downloaded from either link. It's the update from the 30th that, I believe, only fixed the font size issue.

TWRP 2.6.3.2 Zip

I've created a flashable zip of twrp 2.6.3.2 that can be flashed in your custom recovery. This can be used to easily flash between recoveries if you desire.
All credit goes to Dees_Troy, I just packaged the image file.

Edit, corrected thanks to @crispi7
I flashed zip but recovery version remains the same.

i'm better with it now. the screen took some getting used to. going to sell my S4. i'm done with lock-tight bootloaders. really getting used to the device. it carries its weight. i'm on faux's kernel and the cataclysm rom. cant say anything but good stuff about both and how well the device is performing on them. thats my 2 cents. in case you hadnt heard, when you're in twrp and you wipe (full, partial, etc), reboot recovery and then flash. users have problems getting zips to install without the reboot between wiping and flashing. its a recovery bug atm. cheers

The prooblem I found is this command (obviously, it's the only one xD):
package_extract_file("openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.2-hammerhead.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p7");
The "/dev/block/mmcblk0p7" is for pad, the recovery is in "/dev/block/mmcblk0p20". Also you can use "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery" that is easier to understand.
So the command fixed should be:
package_extract_file("openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.2-hammerhead.img", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery");
I will test it and tell if that solves the problem
TWRP 2.6.3.2 zip fixed!
OK, everything working now.
Fixed zip uploaded to: http://d-h.st/Qen
I'm sure people will be happy to flash it easier than before just from your phone without any needed app
I tested it and it's working but feedback is also good :good:
so if i flash this on mako"nexus 4", would i brick my phone?

It's made for the n5. I don't know what the recovery partition is for the n4, so yes it could. The image file is also specifically for the n5
Thanks man. That zip worked great for me. Also, when I clicked on the link on devhost, a mobogenie apk started automatically downloading. It was not from your zip, just some spam crap. I deleted it with root explorer. Just a heads up if it happens to anybody else.

Seems to be an overall issue with TWRP 2.6.3.1, and while I don't know if the issue is resolved in 2.6.3.2, I can tell you that it doesnt have the problem in 2.6.3.0, as I've been kicking myself for a while now fighting with .1 to work. I took WugFresh's toolkit, downloaded the 2.6.3.0 .img, changed in my settings of the toolkit to use custom recovery (the .0 version), flashed it (which also re-roots your device, needed or not), and then everything was fixed... That's the route that I took, as even on .1, the rebooting between wipe and flash didnt even work for me... MIght save some people some headaches 'til we can verify .2 fixes the issue.

How to root Android L [SuperSU updated]

Hi Everyone, I just want to share this easy steps to root Android L.
Note: Android L is a Developer preview, it is not stable as the KitKat version and it is using ART runtime only, so not all apps are compatible.
Update: The v2.01 release fixes some incompatibility issues with the Android "L" Preview. There is no binary update over v2.00.

I recommend backup all your data/files in a PC, to avoid data loss. And don't blame me if you have a bootloop or stuck at boot logo.
TRY IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Boot into bootloader
For TWRP format cache first
Code:
fastboot format cache
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Boot into recovery
Flash the SuperSU-v2.01.zip
Reboot
You now have root access.

Confirmed. This is working! Nice job!

Everytime I try it says that the TWRP recovery image is too large. Any ideas?
I'm guessing this is the same as the other root method, where it roots your device, but some apps still don't work as root apps?
Titanium Backup is my main concern.

I agree. I saw your post in the preview thread. I haven't used your process and boot.img yet, but will soon.

SPH-L720T Stock Roots Roms

I no longer have this device on Sprint service it is now just for WiFi media.
I will leave this here just for downloads.
Short and simple this is the place to find the stock rooted roms for the Spark Sprint S4 SPH-L720T
Not much more to say these are STOCK ROOTED BUILDS
DOWNLOADS
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=20593
The roms must be be flashed in custom recovey.
How to flash rom
1: Reboot phone to recovery
2: Make a back up of current rom
3: Wipe clean
4:Flash rom
5:Reboot and wait about 4-5 for boot to finish
How to flash modem
Use Odin v3.09
1: Untick Autoreboot
2: Flash modem in the phone slot (CP)
3: Reboot once again into Download Mode using (Vol Down plus Home button combi)
4: Flash Modem once more
5: Once done,unplug then reboot device manually.
If this doesn't work, try repeating the flash process again while rebooting manually and with auto-reboot option turned off.
If you have a issue with wifi connetion make sure you are on the correct baseband.
modems will be in the extra folder named with the firmware build along with stock boot.img, recovery and the NON_HLOS.bin(wifi fix)
thanks to ArchiKitchen for the tools to make this

Thank you so much for this thread brother.. Much appreciated !
Thanks for posting, good thread to follow. I always like to have a stock ROM on my SD.
I tried installing this ROM om L720T twice with two different recoveries and it would not boot either time? Downloaded from both the primary and alternate sites with the same result. Any thoughts on why the device won't hand off to the operating system on boot?
Working fine here. Thank you for your hard work on these.

The error brought there blames the bootloader it not be supported , so it caused the error . even if you install another TWRP , the error will be repeated :good:

Yes.But you can also flash the new recovery directly through TWRP.
Put the recovery on your sd card and for install just choose the ending .img instead of .zip .

Yes, you're absolutely right, he needs at least bootloader 4882 and he has the older version 4807.I should have read the screenshot better.
But a newer TWRP is a good idea nevertheless.
