flash this in stock recovery?

I downloaded a flashable zip of dsp manager, can I rename to update.zip and flash through stock recovery?
currently I am running (sprint) stock jelly bean rom JRO03U FH05 rooted (only rooted to flash dsp through cwm) and Ive been noticing data drops for long periods and want to unroot incase I need to go to the store but I want to keep dsp manager and any unroot method I see will wipe it out.
edit: ive found that when I have a lengthy data drop toggling wifi on and off re-establishes the 3g connection. Anyone think they know what my problem is?

Stock recovery cannot flash, you need a custom one for that.
As for your data drops: have you tried verifying your APN settings? Tried a different radio?

ive tried different roms, odining to stock, different radios, and different kernels. are the apns just like your "mobile network type",ip address, MEID, etc? thanks for the response.
Edit: So what you say about the recovery means I cant have dsp manager without being rooted? Or can I flash cwm or twrp by just changing the recovery files and flashing a recovery img without root?

Couldn't you just turn on USB debugging, connect to your PC, "fastboot boot (somecustomrecovery).IMG", and use it to flash the dspmanager.zip?
BTW, to unroot, all you have to do is delete "su" and "supersu.apk" (or "superuser.apk" if you're using that).

usb debugging is on by default on custom recoveries, and it's not needed for fastboot as well.

Yes you can, if a flashable zip of DSP manager exists (I'm not sure). Just boot or flash a custom recovery (CWM or TWRP indeed), and use it to flash the DSP manager zip.

ADB is not fastboot. ADB is an interface provided by Android OS and custom recoveries, Fastboot is an interface provided by the bootloader.

Thanks for all the responses guys. I couldn't shake the data drops on the ota and sprint didn't know what to tell me over the phone so I just backed up odined fho5 complete and data is now working completely.

just one thing: you didnt need to flash cwm, just boot it:
Code:
fastboot boot cwm_or_twrp.img
this way you keep whatever recovery is installed, allows you to try out stuff, without really flashing them.

In the dev section there is a tutorial on how to restore a phone from soft brick. I realize you're not actually soft bricked, but it has instructions about sideloading zip files to recovery. Might help you.

If you're using TWRP you can go to advanced>adb sideload and use the 'adb sideload <filename>' command to push a ROM to the phone which will then automatically install. That way you can avoid losing root.

HTC ONE Complete Data loss Stuck in TWRP

There is an ADB push option in TWRP which should let you put a ROM on the phone using:
adb push PUTROMENAMEHERE.zip /sdcard/.
or
You should be able to RUU something back onto the phone. Try to get to fastboot by rebooting to the bootloader from TWRP. Then you can use something like:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2485319 Firmware update if needed
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2437436 RUU image
or
Alternatively, if you have an OTG cable you should be able to select a flash drive as a source media in TWRP.

I had a similar issue a few days ago when I wiped everything including my internal storage without even thinking how am I going to get the rom.zip back on the card (all my previous phones had SD cards).
In order to avoid flashing RUU I used sideload in TWRP to load rom directly through ADB. the only issue I had was with the drivers because for some reason my PC wouldn't recognize the phone (even though I used the same PC to root it) so I downloaded universal drivers that I found somewhere on the XDA.
unfortunately I don't have the links saved but if you search sideload and universal drivers I'm sure you'll find it.

You must have misread his post. Everything was wiped. There is no way to go to settings, etc. There is no rom.

Your options are to boot it to the bootloader manually by holding power and volume down, then go to fastboot and push a recovery to it, from there you can also push a Rom to your storage and then use recovery to install your Rom.

Once you have a recovery on there now just push a Rom using fastboot. Then boot into recovery and install Rom or if you already have a Rom on the internal storage just boot recovery and go from there.

Instead of side load can't you push a rom through the pc in fastboot? Drivers on your pc may not be working properly with sideload.

Well I got it to get into recovery. I ended up using a HTC ONE all in one kit. So I got a stock like ROM and radio and firmware to get me going. Thing is now is when I try to sideload any ROM I keep getting stuck in either a bootloop or at the Boot Image. I still have SuperCid. I tried using the how-to on changing "mid" so that way I can use any variant ROM. But apparently I dont have a way to re-zip files So now going trying to sideload CM10.2 with GAPPS. Thing is is what I do sideload I cant find in storage. I just cant figure out why a few ROMS I had before now wont boot past the boot animation or just wont flash. PLEASE HELP

how did u make out with cm 10?

[Q] Can't remove CWM!

Hello everybody.
I installed cm11 via cyanogenmod installer. When I was done with installing it, I installed Rom Manager application. The application then offered to install CWM Recovery, so I agreed to do so since I am more accustomed to it than TWRP.
Was working, until I the phone told me I had a new update.
The update downloads, and tries to install, but nothing happens ( or happens wrong so it just aborts), and I am left with the "there is an update for your phone".
So I figured out I might do it manually, so I went to Rom Manager and set TWRP to be default, and went to recovery.... and there was CWM.
I tried GooManager, TWRP Manager, all still reboot into CWM not TWRP.
I then tried CWM and it worked flashing the latest snapshot, but it had a serious bug, so I restored to the previous snapshot. ( Can't how that is relevant to the subject).
I really would like to install the TWRP and remove CWM. My question is: How do I remove CWM and install TWRP.
Thanks.

Just learn fastboot and manually flash TWRP image. If nothing goes wrong, TWRP will overwrite CWM as your only recovery.

I did as u said, but now I can't boot into recovery, and when in fastboot menu, it says I have no boot or recovery image.
But I can load into cm normally.
However what's weird is that it said the product code name was tuna, which is wrong, it should be maguro.
Any thoughts??

Tuna is your phone. Tuna is Toro, Toro+ and maguro.. As said before learn how to use fastboot and flash it via fastboot. Plenty of guides.. Its really easy.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA Premium HD app

Yea at this point you may need to use fastboot. If multiple tries of above haven't worked.
As said, it's REALLY easy.
You can use fastboot to clear recovery partition in case something is corrupted in it. And can just do a fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (where recovery.img is the path to recovery.img file you are installing. If you are cd'd into folder where recovery.img is located you can just use the name of the img file instead of the full path name to it.... it might sound confusing, but there are step by step fool proof guides to follow. And after you've done it once you'll be like "dang what was I worried about, this fastboot and adb stuff is easy" lol...)
Let us know if you need any clarification on the process

Thanks guys, but I have been really busy lately I couldn't learn fastboot, but I think I know how, since my first root was manual using such a command prompt.
I'll reply once I do it and report.

Hello
I managed to flash TWRP successfully and then tried to install cm update from the system update available.
However there was an error and it didn't work.
Here is the recovery log, it said something about not finding an md5.
Any thoughts as to what is happening here?

I have root access but lack the ability to boot to recovery!

I'm currently running the stock Rom with build E98020h. I have successfully achieved root access and have verified it through several apps, and also have supersu installed and seemingly operating fine. I have tried using the 'g pro kitkat recovery' app to flash the recovery, and also freegee but freegee at the opening screen says my device is unsupported. When i go into rom manager v5.5.3.7 and try install a custom rom or even just tap boot to recovery i get an error at the loading screen with the LG logo and it sits there. Am i doing something wrong or is the 20h update keeping me from being to successfully reach recovery? Any insight is greatly appreciated.

20h may be blocking you off...
You could try using LG Flash Tool to go back to stock 4.1.2 (E98010k) and then using FreeGee to bypass and go from there. But idk if that'll work.

I don't think that's possible. You're going to have to flash back to an older version using lg flash tools. If you need to back up anything like texts and contacts, use G Cloud. If you need game data/other data related to specific apps backed up, use Helium. If you're attached to stock try flashing a stock ROM, it will be very similar to your experience now. That'll ensure you get the latest KitKat and still get stock experience... you can always go AOSP too.

thanks... I was hoping to just not have to Flashtools my phone again =P and since its been a while since I checked the forums I wasnt sure if 20h was sorted out yet or not.

I found this elsewhere trying to unlock my e980 that was on 20h when I got it.
OK so I found that G Pro KK recovery elsewhere and installed it but wasn't sure what to do from there.. Which option did you choose when running it? Flash recovery, reboot, or reboot recovery? I tried to reboot to recovery and I got into a CWM recovery, but at that point wasn't sure if I was really there or if I needed to flash the recovery from there or from the app.
I'm dying to get rid of the stock ROM on this thing but there are more steps involved than my previous devices.
Thanks!

All the APK does as I have found out is 'unlocks' the recovery access. After I ran that app I installed Freegee from the app store and installed the CMW recovery from there just to make sure it all was installed and correctly accessible. at that point you just need to download the ROM that you are intending to install and download it. put the zip somewhere in your directory. boot to recovery wipe the necessary mediums and then install from the app and CWM will take care of the rest. Most of the forum threads that have the links to the ROMs will have full instructions on how to install that certain ROM. I can supply links to some if need be. NOT MY THREADS but ones I found helpful.

installing the ROM isn't an issue for me, it's getting the recovery installed.
What process did you do after starting up the G Pro Recovery app? install recovery, reboot, then run freegee?

installing the ROM isn't an issue for me, it's getting the recovery installed.

Yes. Open and run the G Pro Recovery app, once that is done you need to reboot. Install Freegee and open it. I installed CWM. You can use whatever you want. Then I reboot again, once the phone comes back up I used clockwork mods recovery manager to get in and out of recovery. Also, I pulled my SD card out of the phone prior to rooting as I would lose access to it after I did the process. So just to be safe you might want to do that.

Which root did you use?

Once you take the update then root your device again you have to do a factory reset on your phone in order to flash a recovery. Currently running E98020I, been there, done that! G Pro KitKat then FreeGee. Mic check 1 2, 1 2

Roottool is an easy way to go Amigo

I found this elsewhere trying to unlock my e980 that was on 20h when I got it.
OK so I found that G Pro KK recovery elsewhere and installed it but wasn't sure what to do from there.. Which option did you choose when running it? Flash recovery, reboot, or reboot recovery? I tried to reboot to recovery and I got into a CWM recovery, but at that point wasn't sure if I was really there or if I needed to flash the recovery from there or from the app.
I'm dying to get rid of the stock ROM on this thing but there are more steps involved than my previous devices.
Thanks!

If you just want to install the recovery, get an app call flashify from the play store. Install the app, then download and then flash the twrp .IMG file that you've gotten from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3144369
