[Q] No TWRP folder. - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys.
I want to flash 5.0.1 on my Nexus 4 and I did a TWRP backup for my data, however, I don't see the TWRP folder anywhere.
I tried to pull the file with adb but I get permission denied error (I do have root permission).
I tried to go into recovery and see if I can get the file this way, no success.
Please help me.

Stock System Dump JSS15J

Here's the stock system dump Stock System Dump JSS15J...
Now that we have root and recovery, I know that some will delete their system files, want to update, and not be able to because they've deleted them.
No worries!
DOWNLOAD HERE
This is NOT a flashable zip file!
If you don't know what to do with this please don't download it, as it will do you no good. Ty.

Thanks for the response. So, replace the filename with the zip file or do I need to unzip it first?
yes please help, my internal storage in twrp shows 0mb and system just stays stuck on the nexus boots logo. thanks

So I did try: adb push Nexus7...zip /data/media/0/
I got "no devices found"
I'm on a Mac. Any idea what I should do next?
Thanks.
adb says it is not a directory.... am i going to have to wait for google to release the nexus 7 system image?
Can anyone make a flashable file? I'm trying to ADB sideload it but it fails.
bricked nexus 7!
guys, can someone please post a recovery flashable .zip? I wiped my system partition, and now I only have TWRP, but without USB debugging. I have tried everything I could. No luck. They only way I could think of is if somebody posted the flashable version. I can only use fastboot commands, and not adb ones, as the USB debugging state is wiped.

Problem Recovery

Suddenly my recovery has stopped working whenever i want to go to recovery is shows me that image with a dead android robot.
Is there any way to flash TWRP again without ADB because i can't get it working,
I tryed twrp manager but it needs root and i lost it.

Try using a toolkit.. for example wugsfresh nexus root toolkit! There's an option to flash the last twrp version..

Without root you would need ADB to flash it...
Your recovery will get over-ridden on each boot unless you rename/delete /system/recovery-from-boot.p to recovery-from-boot.bak or something.
You will need to use fastboot to flash recovery again, then boot TWRP and go into the file manager and rename the file I mentioned above. Sorry, no way to flash recovery without working adb or root.

You must rename/delete the file I mentioned above if it is a stock ROM, otherwise it reflash the stock recovery on the next boot.

It flashes it on boot, so the next time it might be gone. Most AIO tools take care of it for you.
Your call I guess, is the file there?

Personally, I just added a .bak extension to the file, but you could delete it. The nice part about keeping it is if you are basically stock and want to get an OTA, you can just take off the .bak extension, reboot, have stock recovery back, then take the OTA... but I haven't been stock for some time, and returning to stock is fairly simple anyway.

That image can actually lock bootloader back too ?
No, just reflash recovery... It can't relock boot loader, that doesn't have to be locked to take an OTA.

[n910c] go back to stock rom from cm13. [bootloop/ imei/network problem fixed 100%]

MY GUIDES TOWARDS VICTORY:-
FR34K-B1B0
vaskodogamagmail
HmanA6399
Peontikos_Desmos
I am truly very much grateful to you guys! Owe you!!!
TOOLS YOU NEED:-
EFS PROFESSIONAL (PC) [Get it here!]
TWRP Recovery Installed Phone [Get it here!]
BUSY BOX PRO (APK) [Get it Here!]
ODIN (PC)
N910C PIT FILE (FIND ONE FOR YOUR EXACT PHONE MODEL!)
APPROPRIATE STOCK ROM. (AS PER YOUR CURRENT BASEBAND VERSION!)
ROOT EXPLORER PRO (APK).[Get it here!]
Okay, Now carefully follow my instructions.
BOOTLOOP FIX
Make a TWRP NANDROID BACKUP of your current properly working ROM [eg: CM13].
Make sure that your phone is rooted. Then, Install Busybox (Run the application and then install busybox) and Root Explorer in your current custom ROM (Don't forget to grant root permissions).
In Root Explorer, Go to root (R/w mode enabled), Enter EFS folder, Copy the following files to your SD card.
imei (folder)
.nv_data.bak (file)
(Keep these two things safe somewhere, Because you will need it later to fix your IMEI)
In your phone settings, make sure 'USB debugging' is enabled from 'Settings->Developer Options->'.
Run 'EFS Professional' on PC. (On your PC, Make Sure that you have installed 'Samsung USB Drivers' from here & 'Google adb USB drivers' from here.)
Connect the phone to PC, Grant root access to your PC by confirming the dialog box showing up in the phone.
On EFS Professional, Go to "Samsung Tools" tab , Go to "Other tools" and select "Format EFS Folder" then click "Execute".
Power off the phone, Reboot into TWRP Recovery.
Wipe all data/factory reset.
Power down the Phone and Reboot into 'Download' mode.
Start ODIN on PC and Connect the Phone.
In Odin, Load the 'PIT' File, Check 'Re-partition' and Load your Stock ROM file to AP. Click Start to flash the stock firmware.
VOILA!! ONCE FLASHING IS DONE, YOUR PHONE WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY REBOOTED INTO YOUR STOCK ROM WITHOUT ANY FRUSTRATING BOOTLOOPS !!!!!!
NOW YOU PEOPLE WILL BE FACING A 'NOT REGISTERED ON THE NETWORK' PROBLEM. DON'T WORRY! LET'S FIX IT! FOLLOW MY LEAD!
EFS / IMEI FIX
Boot to your new stock ROM.
Install BusyBox (Run the application and then install busybox) and RootExplorer.
Start 'root explorer', Go to root ((R/w mode enabled), Go to EFS folder
Delete all the files and Restart the phone.
Again repeat 'Step 3'.
Now you will see some files again. Now, carefully delete only the 'imei' folder and 'nv_data.bin' file.
Make two copies of your previous ROM backup file ".nv_data.bak" into the new ROM's EFS folder and rename it to "nv_data.bin" and "nv_data.bin.bak" respectively.
Finally, Reboot the Device.
THATS IT! YOU NOW GOT YOUR NETWORK BACK!!! ENJOY THE STOCK ROM!!!!
(Keep a TWRP Nandroid backup of your Stock ROM. It will help you out from other troubles in the future!)
Hit 'Thanks' If I helped you out!! Ask for more assistance!
Cheers!

Can anyone confirm this works?
I attempted this method with not much luck in the end
Same, when i open the EFS folder / copy it with Root Explorer, and it say need Root Access. When i press okay the phone is rebooting. Please someone help me.
I'm glad you got your phone back!
But I still don't know what the EFS folder has to do with the bootloops. I guess we should try the following
1- Make an EFS backup in your CM13 rom (just in case) but don't delete anything.
2-Go to recovery and wipe data cache and dalvik.
3-Reboot in download mode and connect your phone to your pc, then open ODIN.
4-Load your .PIT file and tick 'Repartition". Add your stock TW 5.1.1 rom and flash everything
5-Wait until it boots and check if you have signal.
I've used CM12 and reverted to stock Lollipop doing these steps (even without repartitioning) and worked just fine but maybe CM13 partitioning is different. Can anyone follow these steps and report what happend? Remember to make an EFS backup (as I said, just in case) before.

Try again. Use CF root to properly root your stock ROM. And then flash TWRP Recovery. Then setup busybox and root explorer in your stock rom. Make a backup of your EFS folder by copying it somewhere safe.
I used this method and I worked fine for me.

If your stock rom is working, then all you have to do is to follow the steps in the 'IMEI Fix'. Try that! But I hope you have made the backup from cm13.

Is there any way to update to Beta 3 without losing data from rooted beta 2.

I currently on Oreo Beta 2, but my phone is rooted. Is there any way to update to Beta 3 and root again without losing all my data? I'm a bit of a noob to both rooting and android. Is there a way to back it all up and just import it back in or something? Thanks in advance. :good:

5. Flash Magisk 15.3 afterwards

You don't even have to sideload it if you're using the factory zip. Just flash it like you would any other ROM in TWRP.
But it's an successful way...
We all know that different methods possible...
I was just offering a little less convoluted way of doing it. I didn't realize the king had spoken.
