Is there a way to avoid going back to stock in order to flash Android N? I was hoping there was a way to flash it through TWRP. Any possibilities?

I don't know about TWRP, but shouldn't you be able to download the image and flash it through fastboot?
Yes I can flash it through fast boot, just not near a computer currently.

So I'm basically seeing the word "tot" everywhere but what is it and what makes it different than flashing a zip file through recovery.

Tot puts the system back to stock as from the factory. Radio, firmware, software is all rewritten. You always want download mode working in case something happens you can fix it

1. Is there a way to tell the stock recovery to run update.zip already stored in /sdcard? The only option available is load via adb sideload unfortunately the usb port is no longer working (charging, data, fastboot, adb etc; using wireless charging instead).
I recently flashed the developer preview of android lollipop . Bootloader is also currently unlocked.
2. If step 1 is possible, is there a way to create a signed update.zip of the most recent twrp.img recovery that can run on stock recovery?
1) I don't think that this can be done in stock recovery. 2) You could flash the latest TWRP using Flashify.

Is there a way to root the lollipop developer preview without using adb or fastboot? If I can root I can just flash recovery img using su terminal.

The latest SuperSu will root Lollipop. It can be flashed via TWRP.

The thing is i cant flash supersu since i dont have custom recovery. To get a custom recovery, i need a working usb port which is unfortunately broken.
Understood. The Flashify app will allow you to install TWRP without a PC if your current system is rooted. If your current system isn't rooted, Towelroot should do the trick.

Would it be possible to root using the ping-pong root method, then use flashify to flash twrp img?

I'm sure you can, but that would definitely trigger Knox and would void your warranty. You might be able to also flash a ROM using FlashFire which is supposed to be even better and doesn't require a custom recovery. In fact, if you eliminate the boot and kernel elements from whatever rom you're flashing, you could still remain under warranty (not tripping knox).
Thanks, but I really was not to worried about knox, just wanted a way with out apc.

Yes it definitely is possible, that's how I rooted and installed twrp. Nothing like being able to root and flash twrp without using a PC!
Could anyone point me to the twrp. Img download page for the the tmobile edge?

I also need the recovery.img file. When I open flashify and try to choose the image file I downloaded it is greyed out and won't let me select it. Any ideas? I have tried downloading twrp through the flashify app and the S6 edge isn't on the download links.

I tried flashify, softbricked, took forever to get it back running as im on a mac, and having to use a VM and what not getting everything set up and the right Odin, right files, stock firmware, took me literally all night to get up and running again, and yet i still cant get twrp working on this damn phone.
Try this:
1. Download twrp recovery and zip it with the installer script. Make sure it's named recovery.img
2. Install flashfire
3. Flash twrp update zip with flashfire
4. Hopefully boot into twrp!
This is how I got TWRP installed.

I'm trying to flash the August update and quite honestly its been a while, I'm coming from May or June. I got an error 255 when flashing system.img... I try to unpack it on my mac but it's failing all the time, even when I redownload it.. I don't know why. I need someone to kindly unpack and post the system.img so I can hopefully boot my phone. Thank you
Have you downloaded the factory image, not the ota, and unzipped it? You'll find the system.img in there.

You don't.
You use fastboot and a factory image.

Does anyone have a OTA Recovery Stock flashable Zip file for the Pixel C ?
For the life of me I can't get fastboot to work on the latest version windows 10 64
