Hi, you cant flash under TWRP you need stock recovery to do that. You can get stock recovery from the Zip of the rom 4.06 and flash it by fastboot
Unlock Bootloader: fastboot oem nubia_unlock NUBIA_NX563J
Flash recovery: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Thanks, can you point me to the 4.06 ROM link?
I've flashed stock recovery through TWRP, but now the update stops at 25% and reboots the phone.
Any thoughts?
If the 4.06 is the whole rom and not just the update it might work.
The update file has about 250mb.

You don't have to flash stock recovery first. The phone actually has two recoveries onboard even if you flashed TWRP.
Power off the phone.
Boot the phone with power and volume down buttons simultaneously.
Select emergency recovery with the volume up down buttons.
Press the power button and the phone will boot into emergency recovery.
Now you are able to flash a stock ROM.
Obviously after that you will loose TWRP which will be replaced again with the stock recovery.

Bricked Nexus 4, send help. Flashed wrong version of twrp.

I used the WonderHowTo site incorrectly to flash a nexus 5 version of twrp unto my nexus 4.
My device at this point booted to a blank screen. It could still boot the boot loader at this point.
To "fix" this I found the correct version of twrp for my device and proceeded to flash that unto my device.
This has appeared to work since I can access twrp on my device but it is only thing I can access on the phone. When I attempt to boot to system through twrp I am sent back into twrp.
I have attempted to use the wugfresh root tool kit to unroot and return to stock using both soft bricked and phone is still working normally options with no success.
It can still boot to the boot loader currently.
I have logs from the toolkit if these can shed more light on my issue.
Is there anyway I can return my device to stock? Thanks for any response

attempted to flash stock and got the following error message

Seems like you flashed TWRP to /boot. Easy fix is to download your ROM zip. Extract the boot.img and "fastboot flash boot boot.img". Then flash TWRP with "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img"
The locations and filenames of the files may vary. But hopefully you get the idea.

I flashed a boot image for mako_KTU84P and flashed recovery again with twrp but I'm still system booting into twrp.
My bootloader version is MAKOZ30f if that is any help
I probably flashed the incorrect boot image. Could you point me in the direction of reliable ROM zip's if that is the case.

Okay adb push a cyanogenmod zip from here and flash it in recovery. It should automatically install a working boot image. You should also flash the latest bootloader in the factory image with "fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img" if you're using an outdated bootloader.
used the advice
I pushed the zip file using cmd and it appears to have been successful since I was given the summary of data transferred and how long it took once the process was finished.
I can't find the zip file in twrp to attempt to flash it.. Is there any reason the file name would change inside the device once it has been pushed?
Is there a way to flash the zip in question without pushing it unto the device?

Stock recovery (from TWRP) for A2017

Hi guys,
I'm just finalising restoring an A2017 (China) to stock for warranty exchange.
I have gone back to stock OS, locked bootloader but I still have the TWRP recovery.
I believe all I need to do is flash a stock recovery.img though TWRP and voila I should be finished, but I can't find a download link that definitely points me to what I should use.
Could someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
EDIT - Actually wait a minute can I just install full A2017 factory OTA update through MiFavor stock OS which I believe contains recovery, does that mean that everything goes back to stock (including recovery)?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/axon-7-chinese-stock-roms-t3436817
EDIT2 - When I try to install the A2017 B13 update.zip through MiFavor it says update failed. Should I install it through TWRP?
EDIT3 - Refused to update the whole image (update.zip) through MiFavor within the ZTE OS. I flashed the default recovery.img through fastboot, then I used the MiFavor recovery (not in OS) to manually flash the full image.
Anyway, got it to stock!
Where did you got the recovery.img?

In the link from my post above. Download the original stock ROM you want, unzip, one of the files is the recovery.img. FYI I had A2017 B11, installed B13 recovery.img and it worked fine.
I tried to flash recovery.img but it says: FAILED (remote: Partition flashing is not allowed)
What do I do? I'm on B13 stock with locked bootloader. I want to get rid of TWRP and back to stock recovery so I can get OTA updates again.

The first step in flashing anything is to unlock the bootloader, flash TWRP recovery, root, custom ROM etc. The inverse is the same. You are trying to flash an image to the recovery partition with a locked bootloader, which isn't going to work. I'd suspect you need to unlock your bootloader again, flash the stock recovery from the B13 stock image, and re-lock the bootloader. I am fairly new to the Axon 7 but I would consider yourself lucky if your bootloader is in fact locked. Typically locking the bootloader with anything but stock recovery is messy...

You usually end up with a DFU brick, sometimes only with fastboot. Very messy
There are flashable recovery zips for the A2017G, maybe @tron1 can make you one?

Not starting after updating bootloader via TWRP

I just finished flashing the latest vendor image + dirty unicorns rom + root + gapps and made a reboot.
Then I decided to also update my bootloader and downloaded 3.68.
I went into TWRP, flash .img, boot, choose bootloader.img
Thw flash was successfull but since then i cant boot the rom anymore? I am only able too boot the recovery but not the rom.
Do I need to re-flash the rom now or what should I do?
Oh it seems like flashing "boot" in "TWRP" means that you will flash the boot.img and not the bootloader.
So I just flashed the bootloader via fastboot and I guess I will be just fine if I extract boot.img from the lates rom.zip and flash that in TWRP?
@edit: ye that fixed it.

Yep, never flash any images other than the vendor, bootloader and radio unless you are trying to restore to stock. Bootloader is the obvious area of the phone you can use to enter recovery but boot is the actual boot process of the phone so be careful there. Glad you got it sorted.:good:

You need to unlock bootloader first then flash twrp and then root, otherwise twrp don't remain installed if you're not rooted

Trouble finding stock recovery image LG G6 US997 15a

Hi everyone,
Can anyone help me find the stock recovery for the US997 so that I can flash it using ADB? It's been a while and I am on 15a, and trying to update my phone. TWRP is not allowing me to update my phone because it keeps asking for the encryption password and failing to decrypt with the correct password.
I can't seem find find it with google, it's either a full stock rom, or some recovery tools. I just want the stock recovery image.
Thanks,
Nevermind, you just run
Code:
fastboot flash boot stockboot.img to get stock recovery.
and you get stock recovery from the boot image.
