Hi, on the Italian forum a couple of users that have the s115 ROW from etotalk want to upgrade via OTA to the s124.
Unlucky, both of them flashed the CWM and TWRP so they are unable to run the upgrade.
I'm not able to find the stock recovery for CHINA and ROW phones (wich they needs).
I also changed my stock recovery from s116 ROW with TWRP via mobile uncle, so i'm unable to get back it.
Someone can help?
This would be very appreciated.
Thank you
See this thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/development/lenovo-p780-guide-t2658144 and flash using a PC to restore the stock 123 firmware. Once installed, update to 124 OTA through the phone check for update setting.

So I probably should of asked this before flashing but anyways, I flashed CWM to my tablet and I am about to flash aokp to it but I was wondering if I was going to go to back to complete stock again does it matter what stock 3.2 recovery I use to get official updates? I did make a nandroid backup so I am not to worried about getting a stock OS but its just the stock recovery that bothers me.
For the record I have a Canadian WIFI 16 gig tablet.
Official updates...? Odin is the only official update you need! :] Just so you know, you can't completely revert to stock unless it's for that specific firmware, only way to do that is by a clean flash to avoid all the un-necessary bricks and such.
Nandroid backup does not exist on stock and last I checked the recovery and CWM do the same job of "Applying update.zip" so it shouldn't matter, it's the firmware's regional value that matters, not the recovery.
So if I were to do a restore of my nandroid backup (from CWM) then that means that I would be able to get the notice that I would be able to update to the latest official firmware from Samsung no problem?
As long as you don't use Cus ROM's then yes.
about a month ago I tried to change to a new ROM on my sgh-i717R model note which was already rooted running TWRP and a custom ROM that I had installed quite awhile ago. I did not realize that TWRP had to be updated to a newer version to use the 4.4 ROMS and the update failed and bricked my phone. I managed to fix it and put back a stock Rogers 2.3.6 ROM and it put back the original samsung recovery. The problem now besides being on an old ROM there is a lot of input lag using on screen keyboard, so I want to try a new custom ROM to see if it fixes things, but when I try to flash a new recovery with Odin (TWRP 2.8.0.0), Odin tells me that everything is good and it passes, but when I then reboot my device and go into recovery mode afterwards, it is the same samsung recovery mode with only the custom binary download counter incremented, but TWRP is nowhere to be found... I have tried with several versions of TWRP and it is the same thing.

yeah it was unrooted, but you cannot root without putting the custom recovery first.. Anyways I solved the problem, for some reason TWRP does not work (even though I tried all the versions specified for quincyatt and sgh-i717) but I was able to put on CWM no problems and re-root with superuser from there.

I know this thread is a couple weeks old but I thought I'd add something that I have found that might help if someone else has this problem.
The only way I was able to install the new version of TWRP was to install the old one first while rooting the phone then download the new versions .zip and update it via TWRP. I was able to get the new version working that way and now I am able to flash any rom I want with no issues.
Hope this helps others.
Hello,
I had rooted my Lenovo P70-A (S129) and have installed custom recovery. Also deleted Google apps that I don't use. I couldn't update my forehead after that. I had twrp backup of original firmware, I restored that (this brought back Google apps), unrooted my phone using universal unroot, and flashed stock recovery (download from a Russian forum), even now update fails. Can someone help me sort out the problem? I need it badly.
Best Regards,
Abid
Hello all,
It was unwise of me to use ALL IN ONE TOOL (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2301720) to install a custom recovery on my i545vrugoc1 running lollipop.
As a brief record:
- I updated from kitkat to stock lollipop using stock recovery (was my only option since I live in Uzbekistan) which consisted of two packages
- I got it rooted using KingRoot (from 3d try)
- I flashed stang5litre ROM following the instructions via Flash Fire
Was more or less happy but not quite since wanted a ROM which is customizable (personally hate Samsung stock notification bar). To that end ignored all warnings and tried installing custom recovery using ALL IN ONE TOOL.
As a result my phone was unable to boot normally. Searching XDA forum I came across a solution to boot the phone from download mode.
So now I kindly ask to answer the following:
1. Can anyone provide me with i545vrugoc1 stock recovery wich I could flash via odin? I want to do so in order to be able to install the future OTA updates the same way I updated from kitkat to stock lollipop using stock recovery.
2. If first is not possible then second question is: will I be able to flash future stock updates via odin? My worry is that my stock recovery is messed up and I have no idea whatsover if it is going to affect the process.
Thank you in advance
After moving SU to the phone memory the device got stuck on Samsung boot logo and refused to boot up however much long I waited
Booting problem solved thanks to http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...pment/odin-i545vrugoc1-factory-image-t3160125
As I install custom recovery on my phone, I can't receive OTA updates. I have unrooted my phone several times but still I cannot receive OTA updates. Then I searched on the internet and found out that it is the custom recovery. I did backed up my stock recovery, but it was deleted when I uninstalled flashify. Now, where I could get a stock recovery on my phone?
