I have my phone unlocked. I don't have PC.
Is there any way we can flash twrp from stock recovery or any other way.
Phone is running on miui dev rom which is not rooted.
Is there any way we can root the device with stock recovery.
I may be silly, excuse me for that.
no it's not possible

A couple of days ago I was able to unlock the bootloader on my Samsung Galaxy Nexus (GSM Version) and install a custom ROM of Jelly Bean 4.1. Last night I decided to flash an OTA version of 4.1, and being rather new to this, I didn't know that I would loose root to my phone. I have tried several ways to try and reobtain root with no success... When I boot up into recovery mode I get the android lying down with the red explanation mark.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The OTA package probably changed the recovery back to stock as well... You'll have to flash custom recovery again and then restore your nandroid or flash the rooted ROM again.

I try to flash the ClockwordMod Recovery and it says "You must have the ClockworkMod recovery installed before continuing. Install the recovery through ROM manager first"
I did this before I installed the new ROM on my phone but there are no recoveries listed...

You cannot flash CWM with ROM Manager if you do not have root...
You need to plug your device into a computer and use fastboot.exe to flash CWM. I suggest you read up a bit on how to use fastboot. Have you read this sticky?
Thank you! Between the source you provided and a few others I was able to finally get into recovery and reflash to Bigxie ROM! I will be staying far away from OTA versions until I have made myself a more advanced user
So I'm a retard and I installed the MK3 boot loader on my AT&T GS3 and accidentally deleted the OS. I can still boot into the recovery and download mode. I can't flash anything through Odin since the boot loader doesn't let me. Is there a way to fix this or is my phone completely bricked? If there is a way to fix this, please tell me how. Thanks.

It's not a complete brick if you are able to boot into download and recovery modes. Your best option would be to attempt to restore your OS to as near stock as possible. I'm not sure which one you mean by the MK3 boot loader? There is no MK3 for any the GS3 variants or did you mean MK5 which is for the Canadian variant? You may try the method posted in the thread below to attempt a restore to stock 4.3 (I'm presuming you were on 4.3 prior to the firmware failure) ...

If you don't have custom recovery installed, you would need to flash this via Odin. You may not be able to install ROMs via Odin but you should be able to flash custom recovery if you can get to download mode.

With the MJ2, you shouldn't have problems installing new (compatible) firmware as this a modified version of MJB only. Your safest bet would be to go completely stock and follow the procedure outlined in the thread I earlier forwarded.
does TWRP able to flash a stock rom?
if it possible, will it cause any problem?
my device is rooted and using stock rom (planning to flash CM)
a) if you have twrp installed, then just backup before flashing any other roms, then factory reset and restore to go back to factory if needed.
b) you can flash OTA with twrp, and I ma pretty sure full stock roms too. See this guide. There is a thread on xda too, but I don't have it bookmarked.
I hope that answers your question.
P.S.
Remember that you have to unlock bootloader for TWRP, and if you want to use OTA function on stock rom with TWRP you need to fully unroot first.

Thank you very much
How do I root my tmobile m8 running Android 5.0.1 and bootloader unlock. Also custom recovery so I can flash a 6.0 ROM
You're saying your bootloader is already unlocked? It may already have custom recovery installed. Just pick "recovery" from bootloader, and see if TWRP boots.
If not, just flash TWRP with fastboot.
You don't need to root, if you are going to go and flash a custom ROM anyway. Depending on the ROM, it may already be rooted. Otherwise, flash the appropriate SuperSU version.

I know you got it sorted out. But its best to post your solution, for the benefit of others that my have the same issue/questions and be looking at the thread in the future:
For a completely stock device on Lollipop, the suggested sequence to install a custom ROM:
1) Unlock the bootloader by HTCDev.com (the process is rather self-explanatory if you follow the instructions on the website)
2) Install custom recovery TWRP 2.8.7.0 by fastboot
3) Flash the MM ROM of your choice. Most will work with Lollipop firmware (meaning, if your phone was on LP when you were stock) but check the thread of the particular desired ROM to be sure.
4) Most ROMs are pre-rooted. But again, check the desired ROM thread to confirm (as root on MM is a little different from past builds).
I'm rooted with frp unlocked and so on with oreo. I need to go all the way back to out of the box stock setup to download the latest updates. I'm on oreo and have a ton of reading but I need to be guided into a set of instructions to get this restore done.
Please help.
Thx!
Via magisk uninstaller, uninstall and your boot will be fine
Also, you can flash stock boot and recovery to be on full stock
Will this allow me to relock and do ota updates? Basically I need to be able to use the factory recovery partition incase of failure. Currently due to the unlocked phone the use of the recovery bricks the phone. And where can I get these stock recovery partitions at?
Doesn't matter if your BL is locked or unlocked. As long as you have stock recovery and stock boot, you will be able to install OTA
Can you e plain a bit more detail? Thx! How the process should go
What are the commands for stock boot and recovery images through the recovery screen. The white screen that shows bootloader and frp status.... And possible link to those specific files would be great.
Erecovery? How to reflash?
