Hello Guys! please help me:crying::crying:.

He's obviously using TWRP and obviously is indeed rooted. I'm sorry to come off as rude (I don't mean to), but asking that isn't going to help. That's more less going to irritate other users anyways.
Sorry good sir I do believe you'll need to look through Google or though XDA to find what you are looking for. Having this thread may not catch the attention for others to see

First, having TWRP installed does not equal being rooted, there are plenty of devices that have TWRP installed but are not rooted. Including devices that have TWRP and LineageOS custom ROMs installed but no root. You can install TWRP, create and restore backups and flash custom ROMs, all without root ever being involved in any part of it.
Second, nothing absolutely says they are obviously using TWRP. TWRP is not the only way of creating a .win backup file.
So, that equals, my questions were valid. They were asked for absolute specificity, instead of assuming.

Damn dude you really must be that ****in' stupid. TWRP is the only backup method I've ever seen to create a .win file in my years of Android hacking. Seems like you got butthurt though ?

Do you specifically need the stock boot.img from the device itself? If so, try adb and use dd commands to dd a copy of the img.

You can download your stock firmware and extract the boot.img from the firmware.
Or, you can install a terminal emulator app or use the terminal emulator that is built into TWRP then find some threads that explain how to use dd commands on android to dd ..img files to/from your internal/external sdcard
You can also use adb/adb shell commands to dd ..img files to/from your device.

is there any way to flash a zip with a locked bootloader? its not a rom zip but a zip whic contaings some mods like beats audio and stuff like that. it just takes tooo long to copy and set permissions manually. i was thinking rom manager but im not sure if you have to be unlocked or if it will even work. maybe theres another app or something. or maybe some one knows a way to do it using adb. i am rooted by the way.
You must be unlocked, rooted, and have a custom recovery (TWRP, CWM) installed to flash any zip of any nature. I use TWRP, it was easy enough to install, has a nice UI, and has less ware on the volume buttons. Happy rooting

Untrue, you don't need to be rooted.
Unlocking is mandatory, the only way to install a custom recovery. Once unlocked you flash the recovery with fastboot, then you can flash ROMs.

Whatever the content of the zip you need a recovery. ROM Manager don't do that at all. ADB sure, unzip the file on your computer, then 'adb remount' first to mount r/w sytem, and 'adb push <your file path> <destination path>'.

Mind linking that?
I've never heard of a recovery installed on /system. The only way i know to install CWM without unlocking is by a bootstrap hijack (Moto devices).
My suggestion is to just unlock your tablet, perform the unbrickable mod, and flash at will.

yea and if it worked for our device it would be really big. i think you can install cwm on external sdcard too but dont know how that works either.
Hey guys,
Do any of you know how I can place my rom, and push it as an OTA Update like Sprint. What files do I need to accomplish this? I have already looked at OTA update center and its great, I would just like to push them without my people having to root. I have a server set up, just don't know how to have everything point to the right place. I'm familiar with the boot_delta.bin and android_delta.bin files along with others needed for an OTA Update. Also, i know you have to edit things in the build.prop as well. I hope someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks
I want it too, I think it's a great idea.
You wan't to add it to your custom rom which is not even rooted? WHAT???

My custom rom is rooted, but I am wanting people who get the device from a specific company to not have to go through the rooting process and just push my Rom OTA to their device using a server just like Sprint does. Hope this makes some sense, thanks

Not possible....the way sprint or other carriers are able to do it is because they pass the security/verification checks...unless you can figure out an exploit/hack its not possible
Basically you would need to figure out how to first root the phone, and then get a custom recovery...there have been some apps in the past that can achieve root...but most phones have those patched by now...so it definitely is possible, just not probable

You can take a look at goo.im the users will still have to have a custom recovery to flash the ROM

Well, with a custom recovery it IS possible without root.
What you also could do is make an app who's exploiting a bug in the Android system to gain root. Do this with the permission of your users. If you execute the exploit, you have a root prompt, you could fetch the device name, and download a suitable recovery for it. Let the user confirm this, and download it.
I recommend to wrap it in a nice UI, like this.
- Get root
- Fetch recovery (menu to choose device)
- Flash recovery
From there, you CAN execute your OTA updater app. Note this only works on devices where all partitions are writable with root. For example my phone's (i9300) recovery partition is writable with root.
Hope this helps,

Very cool, you come up with that idea all by yourself? Reguardless, there is user intervention required. Whether it be for the custom recovery, bootloader unlock, root. Nothing, when it comes to this comes that easy. ****, even the Nexus phones you need to reboot into the bootloader, no app from the device can do it all sorry.
Warning: Total Noob here.
Just rooted my VZW S4 following the instructions for the ME7 build on the forums here with no problems. Installed "ROM Manager" via Play store and went thru the steps of flashing CWM. The app reports, under "Recovery Setup" that my current recovery is ClockworkMod 6.0.3.2.
BUT, when I "Reboot into Recovery" ... it always go to the default "Android System Recovery <3e>"
How can I get CWM running instead?
Thanks
You can't install a custom recovery on ME7 yet. It's been well covered here on XDA.

Thanks. As someone new to Android and the rooting community, is there an explanation on the whys and hows of CWM (e.g. what is required for it to work, why it requires more than rooted phone, how it should best be used, etc...)?
Just trying to figure out how everything plays together and what I should and shouldn't do.

The bootloader on this phone is locked, meaning you will need an exploit to bypass it in order to install a custom recovery. The loki method that was previously working has been patched by the most recent update, eliminating the only publicly known hole to install custom recovery. Without an exploit to bypass or an unlocking method we have no way to install a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP, without these it makes it nigh on impossible to install a custom ROM.
Anyone else please correct me if I am wrong but this was my understanding of the current state of things.
Your 100% correct sir...

Make sure you are very specific on letters that need to be caps.
For example; when you type cd /mnt/extSdCard......make sure the S and C are caps or it will not work.
First time I did it I put in extSdcard and not extSdCard and I got the file not found error.
That should do the trick.

To OP... Custom recovery has not been working on ME7. No exploit has even been found to get a custom bootloader on them. Research can teach a lot if found.

Um, Linux command line is often case sensitive. The question above wasn't about custom recoveries, it was simply referring to rooting ME7 which has long been possible.

That command line is in fact case sensitive. So you're wrong. The previous post was about using the root exploit method which has been done already, not unlocking the bootloader.
So.. My first tread here.
Anyways, let's jump into the topic itself.
So today foolishly, I used TWRP and "kind of" deleted the whole operating system by accident.
How could I recover it, and no, I do not have ANY backups, I used to have but seems like I deleted them aswell..
The phone is Nexus 4 and Android version is 4.4.4
This is kind of urgent, since I need my phone to work right now.
All help is appreciated, waiting for your replies,

You have 2 options:
Use adb to push a new rom to the phone and install in TWRP.
Use fastboot to flash the stock img files to the phone while in bootloader/fastboot mode.

My preferred method would be by adb though.
adb push nameofrom.zip /sdcard

So i searched xda and couldnt get what i actually need.
I have SM-P902 which is special model for Turkey. I asked sammobile and many providers for Stock Rom but Most of then didnt even reply. It seems like our devices didnt get an update too since released.
So after all it seems i cant and wont find a stock rom for my device.
Here is my question.
Is there any way to get the stock rom from my device without root or cwm. I need untouched flashable rom that will not trip knox when i flash it.

Why exactly do you need a stock ROM if you have a stock device at this point? If it is for backup purposes then it would be just as easy to adb pull all your system stuff.

Yes its just for backup. Since there is no custom rom for our device, i will try custom roms may work.
Adb pull doesnt work for me. I guess it just needs root access. Or i am doing sth wrong.
