Flash zip with Mobile ODIN Pro just with root?

Hello everyone!
Actually I am on stock Android, version 4.3, without root, bootloader onlock, etc. So it's untouched.
Now I would like to flash the following mod:
[MOD][NEXUS 4][4.3 + 4.2.2][DEODEX + ODEX][STOCK ROM] 1% Battery Mod
I want to do it with Mobile ODIN Pro. Before that, I was planing to root my Nexus with the Nexus Root Toolkit.
Do I need to unlock the bootloder as seen in the screenshot? Or is just a root sufficient?

Thank you very much in advance!

Does Mobile Odin even work with the Nexus 4? I was under the impression it mostly for Samsung products.
Why not root, install custom recovery and flash with custom recovery?

I want to get the OTA updates from google. It is not possible with a custom recovery. Is there another away? I just need this one mod.

Take the SystemUI.apk out and manually replace each battery icon in the correct folder.

Do I need a root for it? (noob question)
I read something about a possibility to load into recovery, install things and after a reboot the recovery should be deleted automatically. Or did I get something wrong?

You will need root to get to SystemUI.apk (you might be able to pull with ADB but I'm not 100% sure.
A custom recovery will not delete itself.

You can't replace the ROM installed at time of locking with another or you get a black screen. And I don't think mobile Odin is for nexus 4 being a Samsung program.

You can also use the toolkits to bring up a custom recovery temporarily without actually flashing it, so you can keep your stock recovery.

I rooted it, flashed a custom recovery and installed the mod. If google releases an update, I will flash it manually. No need for OTA Updates.
Thank you very much!

Help with error flashing system

Hi all, well I think I have all but fubarred my 16gb shield tv. I unlocked bootloader, installed twrp and rooted, all was working fine. Then I decided to flash the full android rom that is on the forum . before doing so, i used twrp and made a backup. I installed the full android rom, although it seemed to work fine, i was not crazy about it and decided to go back to the original OS, so I booted up in twrp and went to the restore function, there were no backups to restore , I guess when I installed the system img for the full android it erased my backup somehow. anyway, moving right along, I next went to nvidia website and downloaded the restore image for the 16gb shield tv, i booted in to bootloader and was following the instructions to restore the shield. all seems to go fine until I try to flash the system img, then I get the error "invalid sparse file format at unknown block 0000" it tries to continue but fails, afterwards the system will not boot at all, I can get back to twrp recovery an flash the full android rom just fine, but am not able to flash back the original os without that error. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, as I am stuck at this point as what to attempt next. thanks

Here is an image of the error I get, I am no longer able to write to the system partition,

Just going to go out on limb here, but are you sure the downloaded image isn't corrupted? You could try to download it again, if available do a MD5 hash check to verify it downloaded correctly and then retry flashing it.

lg g2 bricked

hello, i just tried to flash cloudyg2 3.3 and i have bricked my d802 16gb. i had stock lp and had rooted and installed twrp did the wipes (no internal), got the right lp bootstack and used the right settings, so i really dont know what went wrong.
the symptom is that lg logo show for a fraction of a second and then a washed out gray on top of screen that fades away slowly. also while connected in pc it reads like many many drives.
on the bright side i can enter recovery/download modes. in my original attempt i used the bumbed sign, on my tries to fix it i also used the loki one, same deal.
seems like i have no recovery file, i thought i did it with one of the programs i installed, but since i am newbie seems like i misunderstood. so no recovery file
any help?

solution found:
1.Download the latest TWRP from blastagator here.
2.Flash it with your current recovery, reboot into that new recovery.
3.Download SRKG2 rom (by somboons) here.
4.This rom is a full stock rom with some debloat and custom camera. Wipe /system/ /cache/ /dalvik-cache/ /data/ and flash it (choose any options, it's not important since you'll be only installing this rom because it also upgrades other partitions to a lollipop supported version.
5.Boot into the rom and reboot into recovery again. (If you are unable to boot or the boot is taking too long like 10 minutes, shut down, go to recovery again and perform a factory reset, the one that makes you type 'yes' in the keyboard and you should be fine).
6.Download CloudyG2 3.1 and wipe /system/ /cache/ /dalvik-cache/ /data/ again.
7.Flash the rom choosing the correct version of your phone (among other preferences) in the aroma installer.
8.Boot and enjoy!
i cant post link of the solution cause i am new, but many thanks to him. i still dont understand what went wrong, but my hypothesis is that i shouldnt install the lp bootloader since i was in lp anyway.
i hope it helps anyone with similar problem.
cheers

[GUIDE] Flashing stock firmware using flash tool by androxyde

This guide will teach you on how to flash using this tool in case you've bricked your device or simply want to update on a rooted phone. This procedure does not require your bootloader to be unlocked.​
1. | We start by downloading the tool from it's official website located here:
http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php
You now want to install it with the downloaded installer and also install the required drivers if you don't have them(located in C:/Flashtool/Drivers).

2.| After the install we open the flash tool and click on the xperifirm button to download the firmware for our selected model.
3.| We download the firmware that rmatches our model and download it.
4.| You should now close xperifirm and click yes when it asks you to add a flash script and if you want to add the firmware to the bundle.
5.| We connect our device in flash mode by holding down the volume - and plugging the cable to pc and phone.
6. | In The flashtool, we click on the flash button, select flashmode, select your phone and model and firmware you download and configure the options on the right. After click flash and wait till the procedure completes.
Here is a video if you prefer that form of a guide:

Doesnt work for me... In UK, tried to De-brand from O2 uk... even installed the fastboot Google drivers from Flashtool folder, which installed fine. Flashtool cant "see" the downloaded rom, even using browser
Anyone flashed using NewFlasher...

I don't get asked if I want to create flash scripts and then when I want to flash the Flashtool says that it needs the flash script
EDIT: okay it seems that one can use an older flash script, see: github.com/Androxyde/Flashtool/issues/103

After one year and fully upgraded still doesn't work... Can someone tell me why? Thank you anticipated!

The option to add to the bundle didn't come up once I downloaded the firmware.

Hi!
I have H4213 and try to flash it using Your method but FlashTool doesnot download firmware, any tips?

How to completely Unroot OP 6T?

Hello everyone i bought oneplus 6t few days ago and rooted it but unfortuntely there is an app which is not working due to root and i need to use it. so i decided to uninstall root and flashed stock rom via local upgrade and relocked the bootloader. But that app is still showing root error. I downloaded root check from play store and it is saying root access is not properly installed. showing some applet source installed (Toybox). Any help would be appreciated of how to remove it. i am attaching the screenshot.

Flash your phone with msm download tool.

I think all he needs to do is to reflash a full new stock rom, maybe wiping the devices if needed. MsmTool will work too but it will wipe everything including internal sd-card storage.
Also he should have tried to use magisk hide and change magisk manager package name to hide root from most apps. .Some look for unlocked bootloader but magisk should hide that as well. I can use all my apps with root still.

He relocked the bootloader. So if he wants what he said he must flash with msm . Yeah he must have to backup his data. But there is no option without wiping i think cause if he wants to unlock his bootloader it will also wipe storage.

Correct. Didn't see he relocked the bootloader. I think that wiped his phone already. He can't flash a rom then, only msmtool.
