how to make the visible folder TWRP in which there are backups
It can be seen in Data / Media / 0 / TWRP. To make the SDCard visible on (as usual) you need to enable MTP in TWRP settings.

Put CWM Recovery, and through it SuperSU, but SuperSu writes that it can not update the binary how to cure
what firmware?

Rostman_RK @ 11/16/2014, 13:53*
All who have Error: Update Package Missing System.img. Follow the source in the Topics header for the Windows firmware + video. Next FastBoot -W update image-occam-jdq39.zip Instead, to calculate the contents of Image-Occam-LRX21T to the same folder (folder where ADB and FastBoot), then we write in the FastBoot Flash Boot Boot.img console, then Fasboot Reboot- FastBoot, make such manipulations for all archive files, replacing both BOOT words in the file name.

I do not advise you to do so if there is a problem it must be solved, and not bypass. Then it will be worse.

for those who flies custom rekaveri (first rally after mod firmware boot.img is fine, just re-sew): go to the system, find the recovery-from-boot and remove it (or just add bak in the title)

Good evening everyone is interested in such a question. All who received the root on 5.0 did you spend the testing of the root he works? The fact is that when receiving the root by any of the 2 ways (everything passes without errors and hemorrhoids, there is a complete flashing flashing) Superwasher provides root programs but does not work, RutExplorer after the rights granted to him can not open the root folders, although it has a super-superstere . It seems that SuperSU does not open access, but emit it

Good evening. 1 time ago, there were terrible stupids, such as described on the forum earlier, stupupuck WiFi at first loading, informing the interface, etc. (stood custom recovery + root. Sent standard, Cmd + Flash-all.bat). I think some kind of garbage, it was completely the second time, there were almost no problems described before. But there is some general ploying. What do you think can make a complete wipe from the standard recovery and has sewn again or a sense of it? Thank you.



Rep: (879)
Kolhossnik @ 11/16/2014, 18:35*
can make full wipe from standard recovery
You can simply reset to the factory in the phone menu (it is better than the wipe in the recovery). And please use normal Russian.

I have on the device 4.4.4


It was the same. If there is a custom recovery, then the problem, as I understand it, it is in it. You must roll back to the stock, made items 1-4on this manualAnd then in the same program Nexus root toolkit, you need to select the "Sideload Update" item and follow the instructions.

It all loaded long enough, but it was successful. The new truth design is not very pleased, until no problem noticed.

Good day to all) Now I have a native 4.4.4, Booth is unlocked, recovery - CWM, there is a root, I can flash OTA manually if you delete the root with a cap from the header? Because I understand that it is the root that is the main obstacle to OTA firmware (if any system files did not change, but I did not change), right? + Do I need to update CWM to the latest version?
