Rooting question - Essential Phone Questions & Answers

Hello,just got this phone after my note 3 died, big upgrade. I have been rooting and flashing ROMs since the g1 but this is the first phone I have had with the AB layout. I am currently running stock Android 10 with the October update. I have tried to use magisk to patch the stock October img but when I try and flash it via fastboot that is where I am having issues I will get a failed error I have checked and my phone is currently running on slot be so to flash this patched img do I use fastboot flash boot (file name) or fastboot flash boot_b (file name) thanks ahead for the help.

Are you putting filename.img, or just the name? Also, just to clarify are you running it as one command or two?

Thank you for the link. I followed your steps and was able to first get recovery with no touch then I installed the patched boot from your Google drive and when I selected to reboot into recovery it just reboots twice and starts the phone up as normal. But it does show I have root now just no twrp recovery

Flash this or if you have ex or fk manager apps you can flash the kernel using those. No need to start over. fastboot flash the slot that's current.

Hey, I might be having a similar issue, but whenever i try to flash, it just gets stuck. I was following this guys guide on reddit and ran into this error replaced the adb/fastboot i had and retried it and it's still stuck.
Then I went to the XDA guide and got my fastboot getvar slot and it's in _a and when i try to fastboot flash boot_b twrp-mata.img it also gets stuck. On OTA android 10.
For some reason I was rooted but accidently updated and it usually is unable but for android 10 it got updated through OTA.

Won't boot to recovery

Either from the bootloader or from the Nexus 7 Toolkit, this stupid thing won't boot to recovery. I flashed from CM10.1 to cm10 after wiping cache and dalvik...now I cannot get to recovery. System boots after going back to stock and even after the CWM flash, but recovery seems to be non-existent. Using the toolkit mentioned I flashed CWM, and I cannot boot to this.
Does adb reboot recovery work
Sent from my HTC Vision using Tapatalk 2
Try downloading ROM Manager from the play store. It will install recovery CMW for you and then you can boot to it. If you are trying to boot directory to recovery using the key press it will not work unless you have the tab plugged into a computer.. the N7 is funny that way.

Have you tried upgrading the bootloader to 4.31? That fixed my problem.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
I've already done the upgrade to Android 4.2 when I was on stock. CWM I had from the Nexus 7 Toolkit. Even when I boot to custom recovery via that it just skips over it. When I had CWM installed I could boot to recovery via the reboot menu though so I dunno what the issue is.

What version of CWM did you flash? Perhaps try downloading CWM 6.0.1.9 and flashing it via fastboot
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.1.9-grouper.img
I don't think I need to do all that. Do I need to re-lock the bootloader, flash stock, unlock and flash CWM again or something? Trying to figure out why this device is such a pain in the ass. Even from the bootloader I can't boot to recovery after flashing it!!!

Dang man calm down before you stroke out. Unless you did something seriously stupid it's not bricked.
And your ROM/flashing problems have nothing to do with the device itself.

[Q] Unable to mount /cache, TWRP

Hello, I got my Nexus 4 yesterday, and I'm not new to XDA.
I proceeded to unlock the bootloader and then I flashed TWRP to recovery.
I then tried to boot back into system but I was presented with a very long wait time at the Google Logo and the Nexus Logo.
I did some googling and found the best way round this is to wipe dalvik and cache, but I receive the error 'unable to mount \cache'.
I tried using CWM and pressing wipe dalvik doesn't work either.
Does anybody have any ideas? I'm unable to boot and I'm worried I'm stuck
EDIT: Still not fixed as of 22:28 05th August 2013
After unlocking the bootloader it takes a while to boot because everything got wiped for security by the bootloader.
Try waiting for it to boot and report back.

Mmmm, while it is on the boot animation for a few minutes it should give you ADB access so try to use "adb logcat" on your PC and post here so I can see what is going on.
What android version have you flashed?

Could be to do with the fingerprint thingy to check if you are a bot or something.
Because you have access to the bootloader and have TWRP you can try flashing the bootloader here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2147194

Oops.
It should work if you get a custom rom which is good.
If you want to remain on the stock rom then go the bootloader and do "fastboot -w".

Going from 4.2.2 to 4.4.2

Hi there, I'm currently rooted with 4.2.2 and I want to upgrade to the latest which I believe is 4.4.2, after a brief check I don't see the toolkits supporting this so can someone give me a clue on what to do? Is it upgrade to 4.3 then 4.4 and finally 4.4.2 or can I just jump from my current to 4.4.2?

If your on stock ROM and kernel and recovery just check for updates under about tablet system updates. If your running a custom ROM or kernel then you'll want to get to stock first. Also you can just download the factory image and adb flash it. Just search how to install 4.4,2 factory image with adb on nexus 10. There's plenty of guides.

Just update and root again. It takes a minute using one of the toolkits. Or you can just flash the super su zip which is even quicker if you have a custom recovery. Either way it's easy and quick

I can't use system updates, it won't restart after counting down from 10 it just hangs there. I also don't think the toolkits have 4.4.2, I'm pretty sure I downloaded the right files, I just don't know the commands to use in CMD.

Wugs toolkit has it.
Extract it and put it in the correct folder with Fastboot capabilities and use the commands
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (this'll give you stock recovery)
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img (only do this one if you want to completely reset and delete everything on your internal SD card. Don't do this step of you want to keep your files like pictures and music on SD card)
Sent from my white LG Nexus 5
Okay, going to try Wugs. Ah, I'm mistaken then, I just have the factory image and update superSU zip files.
See this is what I don't get, it asks me my build, which is 4.2.2. And then asks to download the image, but I want 4.4.2 so do o just change it to that?

Yeah. Choose 4.4.2. Asking your build is just so when you flash kernnel and recoveries it flashes a compatible one. But since your just flashing stock images. Just do that. But again remember it'll wipe everything so backup your SD card to a computer first

If you use Wigs toolkit you can flash the new update if you do a complete restore with in root. Then you can re root. Just go to flash stock + unroot then click the images drop down down box. Pick the mantaray-manta : android 4.4.4- build KOT49H then click the button that shows automatically download. After install re root and restore. Backup everything first it makes a quicker restore.

First, go download the image:
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
While that is downloading, make a new folder on the desktop and name it FLASH, also for extracting the file once it is downloaded I reccomend total commander:
http://www.ghisler.com/download.htm
Also head over to here to download adb and fastboot without the android sdk:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1MWexkzYR_bV2VlaF9UcHVBU00/edit?usp=docslist_api
Once the zip file with adb and fastboot is downloaded extract the files into the FLASH folder. Now that we've done all this the image should be downloaded, extract the contents to the FLASH folder. Now open up command prompt. In command prompt type the following(excluding the quotation marks):
"cd C:\Users\*username*\Desktop\FLASH"
*username* Is the name of the user. Now turn off your device then boot your device into fastboot mode(hold the power+volume up+volume down buttons) once your device is in fastboot mode connect it to your computer. In command prompt type(again excluding quotations):
"fastboot devices"
After that you should see your nexus device in fastboot mode, if you have no important data and don't care about losing everything(me) you can just type this in command prompt(no quotations):
"flash-all"
But if that does not work or you do have important things, type:
"fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img”

I seem to have the same situation. Now, if TWRP is intact, I should be able to install the rom through there an not need adb, right? I can boot into recovery, I find and install:
Seraph's LOS 20180409, opengapps arm64 8.1 nano and supersu v2.82.
But when rebooting I cannot get past the wizard's third step (where it asks you which sim to use for messages) before it crashes.
Tried flashing earlier LOS release that was still in download folder but same result.
No errors show on install log, if zip's were corrupted, it would show in TWRP, right?
Please advise.

Seems you should install Official Oxygen OS first.

supersu - maybe these make bootloop?

Hi
i saw something interest and maybe you can confirm these, i just upgrade my 6P - upgrade=install from scratch full image from dev site.
and just after instalation i install the supersu zip (originally from site)-after i have the TWRP, i got bootloop.
than i just run the flash all .bat, and like a magic everything is worked, so i tried to install again the zip of super SU and ...bootloop.
it's just leave me the option of install from the app store, is the way of instalation make something?
thanks

I think your bootloop situation is more software-driven. Most of the people that talk about boot loops with the Nexus 6p have a hardware issue like I do.

if so, how you can explain that without that the device worked perfect?
also, how you upgrade each time?

Well keep in mind at the moment I am not rooted. As for updates when I used to be rooted I would flash the stock images for the system recovery bootloader and vendor partitions first. After that was done route would be erased and I could take the OTA update. I should also mention that I have not updated to Oreo. Given the hardware difficulties with my phone I've chosen to stay at 7.1.2

so...i'm in 8.1 and these is the conclusion in that state after few tests.

I would tend to agree with you either you have a version that is not compatible with 8.1 or perhaps you just downloaded a corrupted zip file. I can't speak for root on 8.1 because I don't have that version but I think you've done enough testing to prove your theory that it's the zip that cause your boot loop

What SuperSU version did you use?
What version TWRP?
I have been on 8.1 Stock with SuperSU and I did not get bootloops whatsoever.

Use Magisk it's latest greatest. Just install the Magisk app from apkmirror and it will prompt to download flaahable zip. As far as TWRP 3.2.1-0 I believe is latest.

What are you trying to say? The bootloop you are talking about is different from hardware bootloop of death in nexus 6p.
Supersu works fine for everyone,if its bootlooping for you thn you are doing something wrong or flashing wrong supersu zip.
The most of the reported bootloop of death users are not rooted.
the twrp is 3.2.1 and i used now the Magisk and it works.
the way i used is :
fastboot format userdata
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash recovery <filename>.img
fastboot flash system system.img
Fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
ofcurse with the right names of files..
