NOTE: FLASHING KITKAT AFTER UPDATING TO LOLLIPOP (i.e. DOWNGRADING) IS NOT SUPPORTED. YOUR DEVICE WILL GET HARD BRICKED IF YOU ATTEMPT TO DO SO
Hello Yureka Users,
The factory image (fastboot flashable zip) and debuggable boot image are now available on Cyanogen Support page.
For the convenience of the users, we have also created a package containing required tools for flashing and a one-click flashing script.
These flash tools are available for download here - ( Windows - Linux - Mac )
There are detailed step by step instructions written for each OS ( Windows - Linux - Mac )
Flashing the whole package will get your phone back to factory state and WILL WIPE all data on your phone. (Except any data on the external microSD card, if you have one).
As newer updates come out in coming months, the support page will be updated with newer factory images.
In the spirit of the community, the flash tools package, and the script are up on github, and we welcome anyone who wants to improve on the flashing scripts/tools.
Cheers,
Team YU

if i will flash this. will i revert back to stock recovery and locked bootloader ?
i come to know that lolipop update will be flashable only on stock recovery. is it true ?

Update
How to update the OTA firmware - MANUAL method
Note: always download relevant boot.img and the update.img file
For those who need ASUS stock firmware...
download the update firmware relevant to your SKU and flash as above...
Flash only boot.img and recovery.img and in place for system.img ----- flash update.img file that you have downloaded.
For future uses
Beginners with doubts and questions can interact here...
I will be updating the system.img file as and when we get the prerooted files released in the WEB....
Can I do this on my phone which has 2.13.40.13? Sorry for the question, am an old beginner

Hi
OK for upgrade but what about downgrade ? Like coming back from .22 to .20...
This worked for me. Had some bumps with the connection to the pc. First tried on Vista but won't recognize the phone. When I tried on Windows 8.1 finally connected. A word about the flashing of the system image. You really have to WAIT. At first I thought something went wrong until it started after about 5 minutes or so, and yes in parts because of the big file. Many many thanks for your help. Last question: will the phone now accept OTA updates? More power to XDA!

OK I am desperate I have tried this guide and several others. I follow it to the letter and everything works as described but all I get is a bootloop. Any help would be very much appreciated. When I go into the recovery I see for a split second - installing system then I get an error. On normal boot I just get the bootloop.
Thanks any help would be very much appreciated.
Windows version for this
Have Windows 10, ASUS laptop. When connect Zenfone 2 to it, it shows up on the laptop as a CD drive. I know this can't be right. Is Win10 missing drivers for this or something?
My Honor 7x (BND-L21) is totally bricked for the moment. I think there is Nougat and Oreo partitions at the same time because of Huawei Multi-Tool. Now I can't boot into recovery/eRecovery and the device stucks in the splash screen (bootloader unlocked). I think I have to rewrite all the partitions but I don't know how to do it... If anybody has a solution it will be greatly appreciated, I tried for 1 week!
If your device has a locked bootloader or frp follow these steps
First of charge your device for 1 hour in whatever mode it is..
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=11050483647474828964
Then download the service rom from the above link
Extract the contents of the downloaded file. Copy the dload folder from the extracted files to a sdcard.. (Directly to it not on any directory)
Insert the sd card..
Press all the buttons until the emui logo comes.
After the flashing reaches 100 percent.. Reboot the device unlock the oem in developer option..
Step-2 (Computer)
Download adb drivers and fastboot and install them.
Download complete ota package for your device (make sure you have the correct build number because service rom has a different build number ) (download size will be above 2gb)
Extract all downloaded zip files. Then using huawei firmware extractor extract all contents of the update. app files.. (one update. App file in each zip files)
Copy
kernel. Img
Ramdisk. Img
System. Img
Cust. Img
Version. Img
Vendor. Img
And version. Img to the folder having adb files. And version and vendor files to sd card
//Make sure that the complete ota package you downloaded matches the os before the software brick(noughat or oreo) //
Open the adb folder and do shift plus right click to open command window there and connect your device in fastboot mode to pc
Use the below commands one by one each after completion
Fastboot devices(show your device if its connected)
Fastboot oem unlock (code obtained from huawei unlock page)
#factory rest occur
After tha enter fastboot mode again
Step-3
Fastboot flash ramdisk ramdisk.img
Fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery_ramdisk. Img
Fastboot flash system system. Img
Fastboot flash cust cust.img
Flash twrp using
Fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp. img
Boot your device to recovery mode.( Volume up plus power)
Flash version. Img to version partition and vendor. Img to vendor partition
If you want stock recovery back
Boot into fastboot mode
Enter the command
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery_ramdisk. Img
And do a reboot
Relock bootloader upto your wish..
Better keep oem unlocked in developer options
If you have both unlocked bootloader and frp follow from step 2
I heard huawei discontinued the unlock page
In that case use dc unlocker to find the code
It will cost some money

Thank you I will try this but the dload method didn't worked when I tried 4 days ago...
I can't go into dload update mode (when I hold all the physical buttons the phone restarts and this appears (picture 1) and got stuck on this screen).
Also I don't know why but the phone doesn't charge, when I unplug it after 1h of charge, it shows the critical battery screen (picture 2) and it goes off...
Any help is reaaly appreciated!

If battery is not charging, then it will not take a flash.
You can maybe try remove back cover and unplug battery, then reconnect see if it will take a charge.
As for your question about resetting with fastboot. You can wipe data, and maybe format system also. But I don't think that will help you.
My friend is asking help. His situation is similar. The phone is honor 6x.
My opinion is that something wrong with boot partition. you can ask some body extract the boot image from another phone. Then run "fastboot flash boot_ramdisk boot.img".
Hope it helps
Thank you for your answer.
This command didn’t work.
My phone got stuck for one month now...I’m desesperate...

Describe problem please
As I recall it is as follows
** Phone working,
** Attempts some backup or restore using multi-tool
** This made phone no longer boot
**Possible that nougat images flashes to Oreo partition tanle (or visa- versa)
**Now no recovery or erecovery will even boot.
**Also phone shuts off with low battery as soon as cable unplugged.
If this is the case, I see no way forward. Because the battery needs to hold something in order for flashing to complete
Hello, I have sent my phone to warranty and after that I received a phone with NO RPMB and after many frustrations I found (with help of many users and forums) how to workaround this..
To start:
Download boot image from here
Download twrp from the official website
Change the name to boot.img and twrp.img and put it in the platform-tools folder
Open the terminal there
Download your favourite rom
Enter fastboot mode on your phone
!!!!After this you will loose all of your data!!!!
Paste this to the terminal
fastboot oem unlock
(select yes on your phone)
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot format userdata
fastboot format cache
Reboot to recovery (if it doesn't enter at the first time enter download mode again and restart to recovery)
After that you have twrp and can flash every rom.. yay!!!
Wipe everything.
Copy the rom zip to your phone using MTP
Install your fancy new rom
If you want to install magisk:
Install the magisk manager.
On the app select install and select patch image file. (it will create a new boot image already patched)
After that install the new image (patched_boot.img) using twrp
Do a clean instalation of your ROM (recomended) or a Factory Reset first
Reboot to twrp
Select install
Click in install image
Select patched_boot.img
Select install to boot partition
Reboot.
Install magisk manager and do the sugested setup.
You now have magisk working
Thanks to all the users that helped me!!
I had real trouble getting twrp to work the last time I tried this a few months ago. Followed the steps here and am now on pixel experience with magisk. Thanks!
Hello, im in the same situation of NO RPMB. This procedure will permanently lets have bootloader unlocked?
About Magisk, i can install it in usual way once im in the recovery? (I mean download latest stable version for Bullhead and flash via TWRP).
Thanks.

My bootloader is still unlocked after following this guide
For Magisk:
-Install your custom ROM and boot it up (without root)
-Then extract the boot.img from the ROM zip file and save it on your phone storage.
-Install the Magisk manager apk
-In Magisk manager, select install Magisk> choose the patch boot image option and -Select the boot.img you previously saved.
Once it's done, reboot into twrp and flash the patched boot.img. When you reboot Magisk will be working.
I've had no issues with my bootloader, even after an ota update for pixel experience.
Thank you, i will try it.
Another question. I never tried dowload mode before, as i read in other post i should Plug USB cable into pc, Hold volume up and power at the same time and plug phone into usb that's already connected to pc, right?
When in download mode i can fire up fastboot commands like im in bootloader mode?
So then after do last command fastboot format cache i can reboot to recovery from terminal using adb reboot recovery or i can / should do it from device?
About twrp it's ok to use the latest 3.2.3.0 official version or the 3.2.1 4core version from here as someone suggested from Reddit? https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-4-core-t3796656

The official twrp works for fine for me, haven't tried the 4 core version but it can't hurt to try if you need it.
Power off your phone then press and hold volume - and power to enter bootloader, then connect to your pc and follow the steps in the OP
So i have to enter in bootloader mode? At point 6 of OP there is written to enter in the download mode, this makes me confusing.
Can anyone explain me latest 2 commands why they are needed?
fastboot format userdata
fastboot format cache

This thread is fairly comprehensive;
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/general/moto-nexus-5x-sticky-roll-t3207487
Holding volume - and power takes you to fastboot mode (download mode essentially), theres also an option to reboot into recovery (selectable using the volume keys.)
Formatting user data and cache is necessary prior to installing a new rom (especially if moving from stock). You lose all data (back up first!) But a clean flash is the best place to start.

Thanks for the explanation but for installing a new ROM usually you can do factory reset directly in TWRP, plus doing all the wipes, this should be enough.
About fastboot mode and download mode, they are completely different, fastboot mode: vol down + power, download mode for LG: Plug USB cable into pc, Hold volume up and power at the same time and plug phone into usb.
My question is what i can do in download mode? As OP says after entering download mode open terminal and use fastboot commands.

You need to use vol- and power to go into fastboot mode then connect to the pc. As for userdata and cache, if you don't clean them when coming from stock you will have issues (your data will be encrypted if you're on stock?). As I said this guide worked for me. The op was talking about fastboot mode in the 6th option (also there is much more information in the thread I linked above)
sorry for the confusing i wanted to say fastboot mode..
i knew the thread that you are saying but most people doesn't want to search so I made a little thread only with the needed parts..
I use it myself so I have a place to remember all the steps when I need to change the rom to a new one or when I make experiments and brick my phone XD
If anyone know anything else that should be in here just say, I really want to improve the post
Hi. I just went through the whole process several times (I have tried the different modified boot images from the dedicated post) and my device is still locked [emoji24] any suggestions?

your device will always be locked this is a workaround to get twrp, new roms and magisk while it stays locked..
with twrp usable it won't matter if you are locked or not

Thanks for the answer. You mean that now I have twrp, I can flash custom Roms with my bootloader locked without any issue?
Envoyé de mon ONEPLUS A3003 en utilisant Tapatalk
Yes if you have TWRP you can install custom ROMs, custom Kernel's, magisk, super su, etc..
the locked bootloader only prevents you from using fastboot commands like the one needed for installing custom recovery
Now that you have TWRP you can use it for everything
Hello everyone, I also have a nexus 5x with motherboard that has been replaced under warranty and unfortunately I can't keep the bootloader unlocked.
I tried the procedure you have indicated, but at this point there is the problem, because after inserting the boot.img and twrp.img inside the phone, then when I go to do the unlocking procedure with 'fastboot oem unlock (select yes on your phone) 'in practice the memory is deleted on the phone, so I lose the previously uploaded files, and therefore I can no longer continue with the flash procedure of boot.img and twrp.img because they are no longer present in memory.
I hope I made myself understood, maybe I am wrong, or is there a way to solve this problem?

fastboot is for the files on your PC not your phone
you need to put the files inside of platform-tools and then open cmd inside it and use the fastboot commands
fastboot will take the files of your PC
Hello, thank you for your information, since I haven't done modding on phones for a long time, I didn't remember exactly the procedure with fastboot and therefore I didn't understand where I had to put the files, but in the end I did it.
Thank you

Why is a custom boot image needed? I don't want to root.
⚠Warning: This is not official TWRP, use it at your own risk!!!
Data will be erased. Back up if neccessary
This device is kind of weird so to flash twrp you need these things:
1. Prepare materials
Install driver so as to have access to preloader (Just install automatically and no need to do anything in device manager)
This software to access to preloader -> fastboot (fastboot is somehow not available via adb methods) Enter fastboot
This tool for flashing
2. Unlock bootloader (need testpoint, python, git (optional) - you can search on google)
Use this tool - go to this section. Follow guides to unlock bootloader (remember to use testpoint not hardware buttons)
3. Enter fastboot mode
Use latest MTK META Ultility tool
Select Reboot Fastboot Mode in BRom section
Hold volume down button. While holding connect it to your computer
*Now your phone is in fastboot mode4. Flash
Open platform-tools folder in Downloads folder
Shift + Right click then "open command window here"
Input these commands into cmd
fastboot flash boot drag twrp file to cmd
fastboot flash recovery drag twrp file to cmd.
fastboot reboot. Swipe to allow modification in twrp (to make sure that stockboot wont replace twrp). After that reboot to recovery to make it installed on your device permanently.
Now your recovery is ready to flash file you can push stock image file to your root folder using adb command: "adb push. Drag the stock image file. /" (Because Decryption right now doesnt work on my device yet)
Enjoy
*Sounds crazy but it is required to make sure twrp is installed correctly*If successful, when you power on, you will get a red section on top of your device. If you want to recover to stock recovery, flash the recovery.img below.*Also, if you want to make your own twrp, you can try recovery.img below.
Also thanks SebaUbuntu and Mofadal El-Tayeb (مُفَضَّل) for awesome apps
Here is the PBRB version for this device
