Help with Android Flasher

I am trying to change my recovery with this tool but have come up against problems. I open up the program and then select recovery. The phone then reboots into fastboot usb as expected and then it say can not find recovery.img. I obviously have put the recovery img in the data folder and have also tried renaming it recovery.img. I am sure I am being thick but I have spent a bit of time and thought someone must have a quick answer?
Thanks in advance

You have to put the recovery.img in some place on your computer, not on the phone.
Swyped from my HTC Desire using XDA App

The recovery image is on the computer in the date folder that is created by unzipping andriod flasher, all the drivers are installed and I am s off etc.

I hope the recovery you want to flash is for your phone?!
I would give up android flasher, and do it directly via fastboot:
Copy recovery.img in the folder of android sdk, open command line, go to tools folder of android sdk, boot your phone into fastboot, connect it to your computer via usb and enter:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Swyped from my HTC Desire using XDA App

I am simply trying to flash CWM 3.2.0.1 I think it is, think I might just leave it with the alpha rev recovery that came as part of the s off procedure

hi,
to do what mattdroid says, you need adb sdk install or brwse to your android flasher with cmd line.
best is to declare variable environnement into win.
quiet simple:
1/righ click onto my computer sekect property
2/select adnvanced tab
3/ hit environment varaiables button
4/first part [user environment variable for (users)]
===> select new - a popup come up into variable name write [path] whitout bracket
==============================>variable value write [c:\the path\whereandroidflasheris] whitout bracket.
now just log off and log in.
open dos prompt and just type:
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery c:\wheretherecoveryis\recovery.img
fastboot reboot
should do the trick
hope this help

[GUIDE] 2015 16gb Nvidia Shield 7.2.3 Upgrade and Root Walkthrough

2015 16gb Nvidia Shield 7.2.3 Upgrade and Root Walkthrough, it worked on both of mine!!!
*NOTE: MUST BE UNLOCKED PRIOR!!!
I downloaded the following:
1. Android SDK Platform-Tools
https://developer.android.com/studio...platform-tools
2. 2015 16gb Developer OS image from the NVIDIA Developers site
https://developer.nvidia.com/shield-developer-os-images
3. Canary Magisk Manager
https://forum.xda-developers.com/app...-edge-t3839337
I unpacked the Android SDK Platform-Tools and placed it on my C:\ in a folder named ADB. After that I unpacked the Dev OS image for the 2015 Shield TV into my ADB folder and also placed the Canary Magisk Manager .apk into the ADB folder as well.
First I installed the 7.2.3 update by doing the following:
Plug your mini usb to usb cable into your terminal port on your shield and the other end to your computers usb port. Then navigate to c:\ADB on your computer. Hold shift and right click in the folder and select open PowerShell Window here. Once in powershell type "adb reboot bootloader". Once in fastboot mode copy and paste the following:
fastboot flash staging blob
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot -S 50M flash system system.img
fastboot -S 50M flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot reboot
It will hang at fastboot reboot, just hit enter and it will roboot.
Once booted install the Canary Magisk Manager by typing the following in powershell:
adb install app-release.apk
Note: ensure Magisk is installed on your internal storage(mine defaulted to the micro SD card), this must be changed after install. On your shield go to:
settings\apps\Magisk Manager\Storage Used
change to internal shared storage.
Now on your PC push the boot.img from your adb folder to your download folder so magisk can patch it. In adb type "adb push boot.img /storage/emulated/0/Download/"
Back to your shield and open magisk in:
settings\apps
Use your right stick on the controller to use as a mouse. Expand advanced settings and check "preserve AVB 2.0/dm-verify.
Then open the hamburger in the top left and click settings. Scroll down and change your Update Channel to Canary. Go back to the main Magisk screen via the hamburger in the top left. Select install where it says Magisk is not installed. Press "Select and Patch a File". I had to use the Nvidia Remote app on my phone to select my download folder and then the boot.img I pushed to the shield. It will now generate a "magisk_patched.img" in your download folder on your shield. When it's done select close and go pack to your pc.
In adb type "adb pull /storage/emulated/0/Download/magisk_patched.img"
Here's where the magic happens.
Type "adb reboot bootloader" wait for your shield to go into bootloader type:
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img"
fastboot reboot
It will hang at fastboot reboot, just hit enter and it will roboot.
Once your shield reboots, open magisk in:
settings\apps
and BOOM... YOU HAVE ROOT!!!!
ENJOY!!!!

rooted my shield tv pro 500GB after the 7.2.3 upgrade with Magisk 19 using auto-start up tool kit.

Post a walkthrough for the 2015 16gb
No link for the auto-start up tool kit in the video and shows the pro model which has a different boot.img than the 16gb one. Have you tried this method on the 16gb 2015 model? If so can you post a walkthrough.

sorry i have no 16gb 2015 model, what i have is the 500gb 2017 but this script usually works even on an android phone. you just need to get the boot.img from the nvidia developers site or anyone who have the same model.
set adb="%~dp0\adb.exe"
set fastboot="%~dp0\fastboot.exe"
for /f %%i in ('%fastboot% devices') do set dev=%%i
adb remount
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot boot twrp-foster-*.img
pause

Dude... your being crazy vague. What you posted doesn't make any sense, someone's gonna brick their device listening to you. I posted this here to help the community. No one posted a walkthrough for my device so I took the chance of a brick and documented it to help. Go start another thread somewhere else!!!

Want to use Sultan kernel, having flashing issues

Hey guys. Just upgraded to the android 10 October image via the adb flash-all command. Magisk rooted via adb and everything is going great. Want to install Sultan's ported kernel for Android 10. Used adb to flash twrp image and flashed the kernel zip via twrp but it keeps saying it can't mount /system and /vendor upon finishing. Upon rebooting I get stuck at the google G load screen. Have to redo flash-all and instal magisk via adb all over to get back to normal. Anyone have this problem or could offer some help? Would be great.

As long as the kernel finishes the install it's fine. The mounting errors don't matter if it finishes. The mounting errors are just a bug with Android 10. Everything I flash has those errors after it, but I am good. I am on Oct. with Magisk 20 and Sultan kernel.

So the way I'm seeing it is flash the twrp image file, flash the kernel, reboot. Then adb fastboot to bootloader and reflash patched magisk boot.img?

Do this:
Setup:
1. Download latest platform tools for your OS
2. Download latest factory image for Pixel 2 XL
3. Download twrp.img and twrp.zip
4. Download the kernel.zip you want
5. Download magisk.zip version 20
(Keep in mind those aren't the actual filenames, I am just shortening them; plus you will want to rename them for easier flashing)
Install:
1. Boot phone to bootloader.
2. Extract factory image into the platform tools folder
3. Run flash-all script
4. After done reboot back to bootloader (dont do the phone setup)
5. Now remove the factory image from platform tools (or just extract a clean platform tools folder)
6. Place twrp.img, twrp.zip, kernel.zip and magisk.zip into the platform tools folder (rename the files to make it easier to type them out when flashing with computer adb)
7. Run: fastboot boot twrp.img (or whatever you named it)
8. When in twrp, go to settings and turn off "screen timeout" there is a bug
9. Go to advanced then "adb sideload"
10. In your computer terminal type: adb sideload twrp.zip
11. Then run: adb sideload kernel.zip
12. Then run: adb sideload magisk.zip
13. Reboot to system
Should be good! Using sideload allows you to pass files from your computer to your phone, it makes it easy. If adb sideload is "hanging" or "freezing" (you should see a kinda progress bar with it's working) then reboot twrp.img and try a different USB port. There is a glitch when it hangs, where when you remove the USB cable the phone goes black; just hold power + volume down for about 10 seconds and it will boot back to bootloader.

I patched it with magisk. , This file need to be in adb folder .

Are you trying to adb sideliad or fastboot it?
Personally i would use the following command:
Fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
This of course assumes a few things:
1) that you have put the phone in bootloader mode
2) that you are connected via usb cable to a pc
3) that the adb devices command shows your device
4) that you didn't rename the patched boot image file magisk created for you
5) that the fastboot, adb and patched magisk file are all in the same location and that you issued that command from that same location.

Not trying to ignore the topic of this thread, but shouldn't this be under discussions? It's currently under ROMs and Kernels and Development, which is reserved for new projects rather than questions about rooting..

Question Any guide how to root latest OnePlus 9RT build MT2111_11_C.05?

I was wondering how to root the 9rt on android 12 in hopes of activating volte and unlimited google photos, can anybody help please? Thank you.

Above post just echoed my thoughts. Thank you.
Eagerly waiting for TWRP recovery for this and a good Custom OS (CrDroid, Pixel Experience, AOSPxtended, etc)

TWRP is not a requirement to install Magisk. Magisk can be installed via fastboot.
1. Install drivers, adb and fastboot to the PC.
2. Install latest Magisk apk to the phone.
3. Download boot.img for your version, place to the phone memory.
4. Open Magisk, choose "Install" -> "Select and Patch a File", select boot.img file from p.2, press "Let's go"
5. After it's finished, find patched boot img in Dowloads directory, named something like "magisk-patched*.img". Download it to PC.
6. For the Windows PC open command prompt cmd. For Mac and Linux open terminal.
7. Reboot the phone to bootloader. I.e. with adb reboot bootloader command or by rebooting with pressed Vol Down button.
7. Type 'fastboot flash boot <path to magisk_patched*.img>'
8. Reboot to the system
