[RETURN TO STOCK][V510 GPE] SEPT. 2016 Stock Rooted+Unrooted TWRP Backups & Recovery
V510 Google Play Edition (palman) Only!
I just recently got a GPE edition, and turns out there's no up-to-date factory images available (way lame!). So I OTA updated to the current 5.1 LMY47O.L017 September 2016 security patch, perfomed a factory reset and live booted TWRP 3.0.2 via fastboot and backed up an unmodified current build. I then rooted with SuperSU 2.78 and extracted the current Sept. 2016 LP stock recovery image, and also made an unmodified stock rooted TWRP backup. Installing the unrooted backup through TWRP and fastboot flashing the current recovery I have provided will bring you up-to-date unrooted and allow future OTA's (if we get any)....or just flash my stock rooted backup, and be on the current build all pre-rooted and ready to go.

I assume you know how to copy and paste and install a TWRP backup. The stock recovery image can be flashed the same way you flashed TWRP easily just by renaming the file to recovery.img and boot into fastboot mode and flash it via:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Hope this helps some people out, what a pain doing 10 OTA's! I still cannot believe on an unlocked GPE edition there are not any fastboot factory images....WTF!!!
hello,
When I downloaded the twrp backup as zip from the link and tried to flash it. I received an "invalid" zip error from TWRP. I have the v510 tablet so I thought i could install the backup. If you happen to have some ideas on why this happened I would like to try any of them. thanks.
edit: i am using 7zip on Windows system with defaults. i also tried setting full and absolute paths.
edit2. I realized that its a backup and not a flashable rom. Stupid mistake late at night.

Root works Ok.
I would like to flash this latest image on my rooted stock 4.3, with the latest twrp 2.8.7 installed. It's a long time since I flashed an image so I'd like to double check:
From twrp, do I first wipe everything and then flash
image-mantaray-lmy48i.zip
followed by UPDATE-SuperSU? In particular, do I need to flash the bootloader.imag that comes with the new image?
THANKS!

Don't unpack the zip. Just point twrp at the zip file and ask to install. And you don't need to wipe, because the installation wipes everything anyway.
Lollipop takes a long time booting the first time, so be patient and give it 30 minutes at least.
Cheers!

I used the factory image yesterday to update but installed it using the Flashfire app instead of TWRP. I only flashed boot (not bootloader) and system images then cleared Dalvik (all in one sequence). Flashfire automatically reinstalls SuperSU. I did was on both a Nexus 5 and 10.
I did not flash recovery as the TWRP I had installed was already the latest version. Using this method I preserved my user data and all my settings. All I needed to do was reapply anything I'd previously modified in the /system partition (remove/freeze bloat ware, install busybox, V4A, SuperSU policies ... Etc). I was up and running in no time. Hardly a blip in my day.
I still used TWRP when I really mess up (device soft bricked) but Flashfire has become my goto system update tool on all my Android devices including my Samsung one which has a locked boot loader. It is developed by Chainfire the creator of SuperSU.

If I'm already on stock 5.1.1 (rooted etc), can I just extract libstagefight.so from this image and manually replace that?
Seems much easier...
I have a unlocked and rooted LG G5 (H850 EU variant) with TWRP installed. As I already read in other threads, I can not install with OTA anymore.
I want NFC and glance screen to work so I suppose I need to stick with the stock ROM. Also since I use Xposed, I don't want to update to Nougat for now. Is there any flashable ZIP that I can flash from TWRP with latest Marshmallow ROM? Is this the preferred way or should I rather use LGUp? What do I need to choose not to do a factory reset?
I highly recommend you to update to Nougat, as it is very stable and fluid (from my experience).
Here's the flashable zip for Android Marshmallow: (P.S. not sure if this is the latest version)

USE THEM ON YOUR OWN RISK.
You shouldn't worry about about not using LG UP,
As the zip files contains everything necessary for the update process including: modem, bootloader, etc. (Except the recovery partition, to keep TWRP in tact)
I've updated yesterday to nougat though TWRP, and all was perfect, I didn't do even a factory reset, and preserved root and data partition unencrypted (flashing an extra .zip), so I too advise you to make the upgrade.
pd.: Not OTA nor LGUP worked for me
So I did a stupid, installed stock rom via TWRP and then installed the OTA. Now my phone will only boot into TWRP, I've tried recovering my LineageOS backup and wiping all and installing stock rom again but nothing boots past TWRP.
I have the UK model and can't find stock nougat to flash with fastboot commands, can anybody help?
Edit - I just flashed 7.0 RETMX and it seems to work fine, this can be deleted.
I am on Global stable miui 8.2.4 but for some reasons i don't like it and i wanna downgrade to 8.1.15 . I have Twrp installed and rooted . Can i flash recovery 8.1.15 rom using twrp ?
Or i need to flash a fastboot rom using twrp ?
somebody?
I have flashed stock 8.2.4.0 from 8.2.2.0 with flashfire, although I have twrp too. No problems just put the zip in right folder.
Yes you can. I have flashed both dev and stable. @jazzh mentions something about folders. TWRP doesn't really care about that.
Be warned though that flashing the official zip also replaces the recovery and there is a bug with 8.1.15 where you cannot flash TWRP back afterwards.
If you go back to 8.1.15 and want to use TWRP for flashing a custom rom simply use
fastboot boot [recovery name].img
to soft load TWRP and do all your work from there up.
Yes, that's a good advice.
I soft boot twrp whenever performing backup or updating magisk.
I just mentioned folders because flashfire is started from os and it will look into the ota folder and if it finds the zip it will offer rebooting to perform the update.
Hi
First a little history...
I recently got an OPX with the intention of installing Sailfish OS on it. So first I need to get CM 12.1 installed. Following the instructions here I flashed TWRP using fastboot, but the version of TWRP provided at the link would not find any system partitions on my device and therefore could not be used to flash any images. Newer versions of TWRP would simply not load.
Eventually, using the stock OPX recovery, I managed to upgrade Oxygen OS to the latest version. I then flashed the latest version of TWRP (3.1.1-1) again and it worked! It found my devices partitions and I could flash ROMs with it. But, it wouldn't flash CM 12.1. Something about a trustzone incompatibility...
So I got the idea to try and downgrade Oxygen OS, which I did via TWRP. But then TWRP stopped working... and here is my problem.
I'm now stuck in a situation where:
- I can access fastboot
- The only versions of TWRP which work (e.g. 3.0.2-0) fail to find my system partitions, and therefore can't be used to flash ROMs
- The stock recovery also seems to fail to find the system partitions (clicking on "install locally" does nothing), so I can't use that to flash ROMs either
So I really need to get a working image on my phone somehow... but how?? Is it possible to do this via fastboot only?
Cheers!
Is your bootloader unlocked? TWRP cannot see system partitions if so.
I unlocked it originally... but since then I have installed a new ROM (Oxygen OS 2.x). Would this overwrite the bootloader? Do I need to unlock again? I think I must be using the old OOS bootloader now...
I think you can see if it's unlocked if you boot into bootloader, connect to pc and write on cmd "fastboot devices".
Whenever you switch between android 5.0 roms and 6.0 and further you have to first use the correct recovery from oneplus, only then you can flash the correct twrp and the adequate roms
My bootloader is unlocked. I cannot flash a new ROM via recovery, because none of the recovery images (stock, TWRP) can see my system partitions (I don't know why). At this stage I would just like to know if there is a way to flash a stock ROM/recovery/bootloader via some other method (fastboot, or a special tool), so I can restore my phone back to factory state. I don't care about losing data. Thanks.
EDIT: Just to clarify, I believe this is my current situation (please correct me if something doesn't make sense):
- OOS has two different bootloaders, 2.x and 3.x.
- The phone originally had OOS 2.x on it. None of the TWRP images I installed recognized my system partitions, so I couldn't flash with TWRP.
- After re-installing the stock recovery (which happened automatically when I booted to the stock ROM), I was able to upgrade to OOS 3.x via stock recovery. Now recent TWRP versions were working (I assume because upgrading to OOS 3.x updated the bootloader too), and were recognizing my system partitions.
- Using a new version of TWRP (3.1.1-1), I re-flashed an older version of OOS 2.x again. I think this was my mistake, because I think this downgraded the bootloader to 2.x again. Now none of the TWRP versions recognize my system partitions, so I cannot flash ROMs.
- I have re-flashed the stock recovery from the OnePlus website, but not even this allows me to flash ROMs. The symptoms look like in TWRP, i.e. that it fails to recognize my system partitions. So I am stuck with no way to flash ROMs, or upgrade the bootloader.
