What kind of 'package'? The stock boot loader can only flash HTC signed zip and image files from the root of the SD card. You will not be able to flash any custom Rom or zip file.

it is a signed .zip back up

make it into a PG32IMG.zip file and if it is signed by HTC and you get it all in the zip the right way it should flash in the bootloader. Just boot into the bootloader and it will search for a PG32IMG.zip, when it finds it it will ask you to flash it, hit the volume up key and it should flash.

Question about OTA update for sprint gnex

When I try to update when it reboots and tries to install it but then it gives me an android with an exclamation mark. What should I do? I'm on stock rooted with a custom recovery, I think its something to do with the recovery right?

You can't accept and auto-install an OTA with a custom recovery image. You have to either have stock recovery and let it install, or use CWM to flash it manually.
What's the easiest thing to do? How would I be able to do it?

Your choice. Either flash back to the stock recovery and accept the OTA, or get a download of the OTA and flash it thru CWM.

Are they posted here in the forums? It would be nice if you could provide either one for me but if the files are in the forums I'll look for them

I'd say its easier to flash manually thru Cwm.
Ok so I flashed the radios is there anything else I need to flash now?

Yakju update from JRN84D to JRO03C without data wipe

This is a tutorial about updating from Koush's JRN84D repack/jb-takju.zip to Google's JRO03C OTA for yakju users.
Although this kind of method isn't recommended as wiping is important when upgrading, it might help n00bs or guys who hate using TB (like me) a lot.
Prepare adb, IMM76I factory image and the OTA file (Galaxy Nexus Toolkit can be also used instead of adb).
Backup your phone with Nandroid.
Open the factory image with 7-zip, open the tar file inside, navigate to yakju-imm76i and open image-yakju-imm76i.zip.
Extract the boot.img and system.img
Flash the boot.img and system.img with adb/Galaxy Nexus Toolkit.
Go to Recovery Mode and push the OTA file to /sdcard/.
Flash the OTA file.
Reboot you phone. If your see something like a bootloop, pull out the battery and boot again.
After boot into system, you'll see Setup Wizard. Set language, GPS and personal info.
Finished. Welcome to 4.1.1!
You don't need to do all that... just boot a temporary CWM and flash the 4.1.1 update.zip .

Yup. This is what I did and haven't had any issues yet.
Me 2.
Although I forgot to flash the Superuser zip afterwards and I had to use the toolkit to root again.
The only "issue" I have is that Google ears and other apps freeze themselves after a reboot.
I have to use titanium backup to defrost them after a reboot.
Cheers!

Fastboot boot cmw_recovery.img or simply use the toolkit that does that for you.
You need an unlocked bootloader though.

Is the 4.1.1 update.zip the OTA file that OP linked to? (f946a4120eb1.signed-yakju-JRO03C-from-IMM76I.f946a412.zip)

This will allow you to boot to cwm recovery without writing over stock recovery? Could I use this to install su and gain root while never overwriting the stock recovery?

How to revert to stock kernel?

Hi guys,
How do I revert to stock kernel? I'm using Trinity for now.. where can I download the stock kernel to flash?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
You can download the factory image for whatever version of Android you're using, extract boot.img from it, and flash it with "fastboot flash boot boot.img". Or if you're using a custom ROM, use the boot.img from that.
Is there any .zip that I can use to flash straight from Clockwork?
Search in the gsm dev section for bigxie's ota jb rom. IIRC look in the 2nd post

[Q] Looking for CWM.zip for ATT GN 2

I am looking for a cwm.zip file, so I don't have to flash it on the phone and keep my phone recovey stock.
I am looking for the Method 1B.
Method 1B: you can find and download the update.zip by yourself, place it on the phone in /sdcard/ and boot into recovery using the 3 button method, choose the option "re-install package" TWO TIMES to load into CWM. Once again the update.zip needs to remain on the phone. DO NOT DELETE!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/ClockworkMod_Recovery
Thanks for any advice.
Please help.
I'm confused. You want to keep the stock recovery, but also want to replace it with CWM?
As said on the page that you cited:
"ClockworkMod Recovery*(CWM) is a replacement*recovery option for*Android*devices..."

you cant have stock recovery and a custom recovery on your phone at the same time...
Yes. It is a replacement. Though even if you could, I'm not sure what the benefits of stock recovery would be. If its for updates, those can be flashed with CWM anyway.

(Q) How do I use twrp to get new ota

I download the new OTA on my rooted Note 2 but now I'm like what should I do.. 1. Should I unzip the file first with androzip than move it over to my SD card or just go Str8 through Twrp? Please help out if you can.. Thanks
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
Unless they've figured out a way recently, you can't install the actual OTA with a custom recovery, only stock recovery. You just need to find a copy of the stock ROM in one of the forums on here and download / install through TWRP if you want to stay stock, but rooted.
The stock OTA SHOULD NOT be applied using TWRP. Use the stock recovery only or you will get an error. You need to be on Stock, stock, stock MC2 unrooted in order to apply the update.zip.
It doesn't matter where you put it or what you name it. If you can point to it in Stock recovery, it will install it.
