[Q] Problem with TWRP in rooted and unlocked nexus 10

Hello guys, first time posting here, I'm pretty sure it's a silly question, sorry if it is but I couldn't find the answer anywhere. I have an unlocked and rooted device, I installed the last 4.3 update this morning, and usually TWRP let me automatically fix the root just after install the update. But this time it just installed it and booted the tablet, and when I try to enter the recovery mode to fix the root in TWRP, I only see the droid with the exclamation mark.
So the problem is that I don't have root, and I cannot enter TWRP to fix it. TWRP went away with the latest update?. For entering the TWRP I pressed vol+ vol- and power and the pick recovery... is it correct?
Thank you in advance for the great community we have in android and sorry for my english

The same thing happened to me, I resolved it by:
- download a recovery image such as TWRP to a desktop/laptop and then flash it via abd
- now boot into recovery and flash SuperSU 1.51 or higher (1.55)
From what I read you probably did this once before. The 4.3 update overwrote your recovery image and root.

Same for me, Starting have some problems as I tried a "reboot to recovery" apk and got it stuck in the bootloader screen and it wasnt going anywhere.. still had TWRP but reflashing things wasnt working..
Used Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit to bring it back to life..

All good
I reflashed the recovery image and rooted again with Wug's Root Toolkit. All good!! Thank you for your answers guys!! Cannot find the way to put SOLVED in the thread title...

Nice that it is solved but please do nog use toolkits anymore. I respect the effort and time people take to make them but learning fastboot is just way better. Maybe harder but hard work pays off. Almost everyone will tell the same.
For people who want to use fastboot:
1. Flash custom recovery via fastboot.
2. Boot into recovery.
3. Flash latest supersu.
You can put solved in the title by edeting it.

Good time . I have a similar problem : after a recent update missing root. I tried to flash a custom recovery by fastboot, but the process hangs at downloading recovery.img to nexus. I tried using other drivers and a different version of fastboot, but to no avail.
Ps: by same drivers and fastboot I got the root before.

[Q] Why is this so hard to install recovery!

Greetings,
First I'm sorry if this isn't the right thread for this, I'll gladly delete and change threads if need be.
Second, I just got an LG G2 (Verizon) today. It's great but I want more so I rooted it, confirmed that it's rooted. But that's all I can do. I can't install a recovery app on here to save my life. I tried downloading the VZW recovery img and pushing that with the loki_flash but I got two errors mainly.
Input file is not a valid loki image and Loki aboot does not match device. I'm trying to run either TWRP or CWM, anything really so I can flash a custom ROM on this bad boy.
If the image is not a valid loki image I'm assuming I don't have the right pair of files? (loki/recovery) and if the aboot image doesn't match the device I'm assuming that I don't have the right loki? Are these correct assumptions or am I making an ass out of just me???
My phone is rooted, ROM Manager says I have both TWRP AND CWM on my phone but if I try to boot into recovery via ROM Manager or adb I get a black screen and nothing more.
Does anyone have ANY insight at all into how I can go about the next step?

Sorry didn't mean to hit the thanks button.
What build are you on (11A,12B? What recovery image are you using (ie, from what thread)?

TWRP
Follow the install instructions for TWRP 2.6.3.2. Then after you've confirmed you can boot the OS from the recovery, place the 2.6.3.3 on the root of your SD. Reboot into recovery and flash 2.6.3.3. Reboot into recovery again and you'll be good to go.
Version 2.6.3.2 won't flash 4.4 ROMs but 2.6.3.3 will flash 4.2 (I'm assuming), 4.3, and 4.4.

Download FreeGee app from the play store and install TWRP recovery from it. It was the only way I could install it on my LG G2.

So many

I followed many tutorials last night including this one.
(I am too new to post links in a message.) The link I was going to post was from howtorootmobiledotcom
I downloaded any version of TWRP I could, there were only 2, one img of each version and one zip. I used the loki from the zip that came with it as well but still no go.

I used RussGJohnson solution and it worked in a matter of seconds. Now I'm stuck though. I wiped everything and can boot into TWRP but I have no ability to sideload anything. I have all the latest LG drivers, even the lastest android sdk drivers, nothing is working. If I boot up normally the LG logo comes up and just sits there.
I can boot into recovery using the whole volume down + power button combo but then when I go to sideload my computer isn't seeing the device. I'm on a Win 8 machine using the stock cable. I've tried both USB 2 and 3 ports

It's done
Using RussGJohnson's suggestion worked great.
The issue I had with being unable to sideload a ROM wasn't resolved but I just used my Mac to do it instead. That worked just fine. Win8 couldn't recognize the device while in recovery. Go figure.

free gee very fast

Use Flashify u n00b.

Trouble reflashing ASUS stock ROM for ZE551KL

I accidentally tried doing a factory reset, and flashing an incorrect rom. So I lost the stock rom, and have no other rom to use. I tried using TWRP to flash ASUS's stock firmware from asus's support website, under firmware. Using firmware file: "UL-Z00T-WW-1.16.40.763-user.zip"
but TWRP tells me "E:Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/TWRP/Stock.zip'
Error flashing '/sdcard/TWRP/Stock.zip"
I still have access to both adb, fastboot, and TWRP but I cant get an OS to install.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated, haven't even had this phone a day yet, and already may have broken it.

I don't have an answer to your question , just got this phone yesterday and am in the process of figuring out how to root and install a custom recovery for this specific device.. I have found many methods to root but none for my specific model. I think you have the same model as I do and was hoping you could lead me to the place that will give me the files I need.. the box my phone came in has the model as ASUS_Z00TD (ZE551KL).. Sorry I wasn't of any help to you, hope you manage to figure out how to flash something that will get your device running again!

Do yo mean this stock recovery? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64441364&postcount=9
How do I flash it? just "fastboot flash recovery stock_recovery.img" ?
If so, I've tried that, and TWRP still boot when I try to enter recovery. Also, once I've flashed the stock recovery, do I just place the firmware on the root of the sdcard as 'update.zip' and try to install it from there?
Thanks for your help already, and sorry about the repetitive questions!

You have to flash stock for your model.

Twrp's backup hasn't too much partitions to fix it.

Copy that, but I cant get the phone into fastboot! Is there a way to re-flash fastboot using TWRP? I can still use TWRP, I cant get my phone to get recognized y ADB or get ADB to side load.

Into Twrp - reboot - bootloader.
and You are in fastboot. @usmc1488
1st
In this thread you can find 2 twrp's backups(7 & 6.0.1, xt1572).

If you lost bootloader there isn't way to flash it without it, also system will no boot without.
Reflash stock recovery (into twrp) and send to warranty repair.

Maybe I deleted my recovery, how can I fix?

I need some help. Just for context I was using these instructions here: https://www.cyanogenmods.org/download-twrp-oneplus-8-pro/
If you want some background, please read on and if not please skip to the next paragraph: I found the all in one tool on here with no instructions and lots of posts. I found some none TWRP possibilities but I don't know where those ROMs came from. I just wanted to root my phone and put a custom recovery. Is that even possible anymore? I researched this for a week and it seemed like everything was going to go well.
I got to:
Execute the below command to boot the TWRP temporarily:
fastboot boot recovery twrp-3.4.x-xx.img
Nothing happened. So I decided to replace "boot" with "flash" thinking it would work. Then, as I pressed it "temporarily" came into my head and I suspected I made a mistake. So when I tried to reboot to recovery and install MAGISK, it took me to the bootloader. This suggests that I have no recovery at all! Can anyone help me find the guide that will actually root my phone?

I think I fixed my problem. I looked around to see if there was another version of TWRP. I had issues with the 3T years ago and BluSpark made a custom TWRP recovery that worked for my phone at the time.
Anyway, I found this version: https://sourceforge.net/projects/mauronofrio-twrp/ I did the same command fastboot flash recovery and I was able to boot into TWRP and flash MAGISK!

I am using the OnePlus 8 Pro. It's working on my phone so far as rebooting into the recovery and flashing the MAGISK 20.4 zip. I haven't tried ROMs or IMG. I used the 3.4.0-2.img
