The stock recovery has a new option since 4.1
Install from USB.
Is there any guide on how to use it?
You'll need a compatible otg cable, flash drive formatted to fat32, and a file called update.zip on the root of flash drive.

No. It's supposed to be how recovery was designed to be after 4.1, to install ota updates or even full roms (obviously not custom roms) i think. How are you packaging it? Don't tell me you grabbed official stock images tgz, converted it into a zip and are trying to flash that.
How about experimenting a bit? Search adb sideload.
EddyOS is right, of course. IMO, flashing stock with fastboot is the best way to a fresh start.

Obvious, it's not signed for stock recovery. ... Was that what you were going for? Nice try.

Hey guys,
Rooted unlocked stock 4.1.1. (JRO030)
Looking to upgrade. Downlaoded the install .zip but I'm getting a failure. Based on the recovery log I'm pretty certain it has to do with the manual upgrade I did earlier to get the 4.2 camera with photosphere working on my Nexus.
Any ideas how I can downgrade the camera first? I can't find the APK anywhere.

Since you're unlocked and stock, download the factory image and flash the system image ONLY via fastboot.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Thanks - how do I flash the system image only? I actually haven't used fastboot in a while.

fastboot flash system system.img
done.
do I need to copy part of the 4.2.2 zip file somewhere first? Right now I just have the full (zipped) download in the download folder of my gnex.
I guess I'm wondering, where do I get system.img and where do I place it so I can load it via fastboot?

if you downloaded the image from google,
untar the image
there should be a zip after you untar it, which will have the system.img in it.
Thanks ... very helpful, now i just need to know where to put the system.img? DOes it go into the same directotry where platform-tools is?

where ever your fastboot.exe is
Hmm the file came as a .zip not a .tar
5939ff985946.signed-mysid-JDQ39-from-JRO03O.5939ff98.zip
I unzipped that and I see
folders (META-INF, patch, recovery, system) and two radio images. Did a search and couldn't find system.img in there.
Copied the full directory to where fastboot is and did the dir *.img in command prompt also didn't find any files.

that is from a OTA zip.
you need the full factory image from here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
Ah got it - thanks. They haven't put 4.2.2 up there yet for VZW as far as I can see. Can I use the 4.1.1 to somehow flash over just the gallery? Will writing system.img do that?

considering you never mentioned you were using a toro device until just recently...
if you had a maguro device, my instructions were correct.
since you have a toro device, you need factory 4.1.1 and then apply the OTA.

Hey, guys!
Here is the CWM 6.0.4.4 recovery for our LG Optimus G pro (e98x), both .img and .lok, maybe the fxxx need .img
the name of these recoverys is "geefhd", if your ROM's updater-script doesn't compat this, please pay attention on it
.lok
http://pan.baidu.com/s/1265DP
.img
http://pan.baidu.com/s/1inJ2i
And then, if you are interested of AOSP KitKat, I am working on it for some times, and the bugs now is camera and gps.

I modified a TWRP installer with this CWM. Replaced TWRP with CWM on my E986 and it works. Updated adb.exe to work with 4.4.
To install just extract the zip contents and run the batch file.

No, you can't flash those files, but if you want to update CWM, why don't you install Philz recovery for the e980, it is great.

I have a e986 german with Stock 20a EU 4.4.2
If I installed cwm it gives me a boot loop into recovery. So I must install my rom via kdz tool and so I have no recovery yet. I found no way to flash a working recovery and unlock bootloader for my phone.
Can I flash this under e986eu20a?

You need to download the stock image from Google. You won't need recovery though. Just flash system with fastboot and you're done.

You will not lose if data if you extract the system image (system.img) from the archive, then run fastboot flash system system.img. This will replace only the system partition's contents, updating you to 4.4.3.
If you run flash-all.bat, you will lose your data.
If you don't have fastboot, download the 19.0.2 (API 19) link from my signature, it's in that package.

Hello,
I flashed a stock rom for my zenfone 2 Z00A without any problem but because I have installed TWRP on my phone to test out cm12.1 and cm13 I can no longer do the OTA as they come in. I have searched through the forums and have tried to edit the OTA file as described but it always errors and won't install. I did a backup when I first installed TWRP, if I use that recovery file will it bring back my phone to stock or will I still have TWRP? If i will is there a way to remove TWRP and go back to the stock recovery so I can install the OTA's the normal way?
Thank you,
David
use fastboot to install the stock recovery

Hi David. Can you supply the link to the stock rom that you used and the recovery image please?Did you flash anything else besides these two?
Hello,
What I did was;
1) download the latest full firmware from this site http://www.asus-znfone.com/2016/01/full-firmware-zenfone-2-ze551ml-V2.20.40.160.html and installed it using twrp as I would any custom rom.
2) After I went through all the set up I was alerted to a system update. Before I did the update I replaced TWRP with the restore.img from this link
https://mega.nz/#F!k4MHiAgL!dVuOKeH3eokcwPSNI79ffw!Z1N1EbKa using fastboot flash recovery recovery.img command.
3) After rebooting it is possible to do all the OTA updates.
Hope this helps. David Waldie
