[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nukyi:
I have tried it. Still doesn't work. (Screenshot as attachment)

Could there be a problem with the phone instead of with the path/common errors?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jj14:
Did you check if the MD5 of the recovery file is correct? (to rule out a bad download)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nukyi:
Re-downloaded it many times. Checked all of the md5.

Downloaded not only CWM recovery. But also other custom recovery.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Now try and run cmd as an administrator if you are not doing
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zepius:
no. the recovery.img is not in c:\users\username\

put that file there, then retry your command

OR

fastboot flash recovery c:\entire\path\to\recovery.img
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samersh72:
are you sure you downloaded the image and not the zip??
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nukyi:
Pretty sure it is the image. Downloaded from the website itself. They only comes in .img and not in zip.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nukyi:
Ah. It just worked suddenly. No idea why. But I guess [MENTION=2872010]rootSU[/MENTION] 's suggestion works well.

And maybe also [MENTION=3877185]Zepius[/MENTION] 's suggestion.

Here's what I did to help others who have the same problem.

I did what rootSU asked me to do (changing the "path" part).

Then took Zepius suggestion and duplicated the recovery img in a few folders (the original folder i'm using, on desktop, on C drive root folder)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samersh72:
just put the recovery image in any folder after renaming it to "recovery", open cmd (shift + mouse right click) in the folder where the image is present and

fastboot devices

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

EDIT: good, i see that you managed to fix the issue.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Dont forget the folder I suggested to use was "c:\users\blah" for recovery.img and with that you wouldn't have to use a path, just

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

because cmd is already at that location "c:\users\blah>" as you can see in the screenshots

OR if you were going to put it on desktop, you should cd (change directory) to that folder

c:\users\blah>cd c:\users\blah\desktop
c:\users\blah\desktop>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] tuffgong2k3:
I currently have the 4.4.2 Google Play edition rom by Danvdh installed. I was performing a backup to flash the new 4.4.3 through CWM.

After the backup, there was a message that root may be lost and if I should fix it. I selected 'Yes'.

After the reboot, I no longer have root access. I have tried to re-root with motochopper and it continues to fail.

Can I restore a backup to regain my root? Or is there another way to regain my root access?

I tried searching for similar issues but could not find one that addressed my problem specifically.

Thanks in advance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] tuffgong2k3:
FIXED!!!

Not sure how or why, but SuperSu got messed up. Then I tried to open it, I was receiving an error that no binaries were found. I tried re-installing the apk without success. I then flashed the SuperSu zip in CWM recovery mode. Once it restarted, I was then able to open SuperSu and my root was back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] sway8966:
If you are using old CWM you would get the message saying "you root may be lost "and asking you to fix it before reboot. Never said "yes" to that questions. That will mess up your super su. If you read through the general section you could see some post about this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] tuffgong2k3:
Ahhh, thanks sway. I obviously did not find that section. I thought I had the latest CWM, but I guess I didn't. Time to update.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skeetch79:
For Rooted Devices.

I have a rooted Galaxy S4 Developer Edition Device running I545OYUFNC5 KitKat and I have FoxFi installed. As much as I enjoy FoxFi, I hate using Pins, Passwords and Patterns for my lockscreen. I know there is a way around this (as per the FoxFi app in the Google Play Store) by entering your Pin, Password or Pattern incorrectly a few times and then entering your Google account password, but I found another way which seems to work on my device.

As I stated, I have FoxFi installed. Upon first boot of FoxFi it installs a VPN certificate. This can be viewed under System Settings->More->Credential Storage->Trusted Credentials ->User. After running FoxFi a few times I kept receiving the "Network may be monitored" warning in my status bar.

Following this guide, Foxfi now appears as a System Certificate and I was able to then set my Unlock method back to Swipe. I have never been bothered to set a PIN, Pattern or Password again.

Before you move the certificate, however, take note of the name and date associated with the file in case you ever wish to remove it in the future.

I would think that this would work on other verserion of Android as well (i.e. 4.3, 4.4.3, etc). Just an FYI to anyone would like to take advantage of this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tech_head:
If it's rooted why even bother with FoxFi???
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skeetch79:
Just an option. Personally, I favor FoxFi for what I feel is ease of installation and use.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brandywinefarm:
FOXFI and Galaxy S5

I guess you have to be rooted to see that directory where the certificate resides. I have an unrooted S5 and I cannot see those cert files in order to move them.

I am having to "CLEAR CREDENTIALS" reset to SWIPE (remove PIN security). If I want to use HOTSPOT again, FOXFI reinstalls the certificate and forces me to restore PIN or password security.

FOXFI's site says:

"In order to skip the mobile hotspot plan (an extra $20/month) FoxFi needs to install a certificate to bypass the carrier blockage. A certificate installation is considered "security changes" on your phone, and Android system requires a screen lock if *any* security changes is made. Here are possible ways to get rid of the Lock Screen if you don't use one:

If your phone runs Android 4.3 or below, it should support the following way to remove the lock screen while keeping the certificate: set a PATTERN lock (can not be PIN lock) and try to unlock the phone with a "bad pattern" for 5-10 times, it will show you an error message, close the message and on the lock screen you should see a "Forgot Pattern?" link somewhere on the screen. Select it and enter your Android email/password. After these steps the screen lock will be removed.

If your phone runs Android 4.4 (KitKat) or above, please do the followings: first make sure the FoxFi Certificate is not installed (if you have already installed it please go to phone Security Settings and select "Clear Credentials"), now turn on FoxFi and it will display a message box that says "Name the certificate", below it there is a drop-down named "Credential use" which is set to "VPN and apps". Please tap this drop-down and change it to "Wi-Fi". If you continue it will still require you to set a Screen Lock, just do so. After the certificate is installed, you can go back to phone's Screen Lock settings and it will allow you to change it to "None" or "Pattern".

However if you no longer need to use FoxFi, simply go to phone's Security Settings and select Clear Credentials. This will remove the FoxFi certificate (it will NOT remove any other stocked certificates). After that you will be able to set Lock Screen to "None" in phone settings."

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kin Kira:
Why is EVERYONE so quick to shoot down the fact this cannot be rooted. Is anyone trying?
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bweN diorD:
if you were as fast at reading a few post in the General forum on this exact topic, as you are at posting about it here. you would already know, this has been gone over extensively, by people who know what they are doing. you would also know, that every option suggested has been thoroughly explored and tested. you would also know, that as far as anyone is aware, no one is publicly working on a solution, as this phone is past its prime and most if not all of the people capable of finding an exploit are not willing to spend time finding one.

had you read for 5 minutes before posting, you would already know this, #Just-Sayin
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kin Kira:
There's phones well over a year and a half old still being played with. I'm simply shocked this isn't.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bweN diorD:
last i checked the s5 kitkat root bounty was over $17,000, and thats a new phone.

that should tell you something about how hard it is on kk.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kin Kira:
Oh damn. It's KitKat that's the issue than? I'm out of the loop it seems. I was under the assumption it was the phone itself people couldn't root. It's KitKat that's causing the issue. Okay. Hmm, I wonder if there's any root methods for 4.4.2 yet....
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Not_A_Dev:
Yes, attempts have been made. Alas, without any success. See here. And this is the thread for it.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iBolski:
Uh, that's what we've been saying. No, there's not except possibly for a few phones and all those methods have been tried with this and they didn't work as Motorola had already fixed those exploits.

The only way to root this phone under KitKat is to have an unlocked bootloader, and there is NO way to do that anymore, period.

The original unlocking exploit took the Dan a long time to find it and a lot of testing. That exploit is long gone and cannot be put back onto the phone as it was patched into a protected zone of the phone that even unlocked bootloaders do not have access to write to. So, there is NO way to flash back to a previous version of JB that had the exploit and have it "patch" the exploit back in. Yes, you'll go back to JB, but not exploit will be there.

And please understand the frustration from some of us - you're is possibly the 200th time this was asked. If you actually searched the forums and read the postings, you would see there are huge threads about this issue. That's the main reason why so many of us are frustrated with this question because it keeps getting asked and it's sitting right here in other threads and so, the forum is getting polluted with the same question being asked, over and over again. If people would just take the time to research for themselves rather than just jumping in and asking the question, it would make this forum lest polluted. What's funny is, the questions all come from people who have just registered on this forum (they all had posts < 10). It's very frustrating.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] nct2k:
Hello everyone,

Today my Nexus 7 2013 Wifi received 4.4.3 OTA, but the update failed (I didn't take note the detail error)

My Nexus 7 is running stock ROM 4.4.2, with optimized Dalvik and bionic libraries installed (using 4.4_qc-optimized_bionic.zip and 4.4_qc-optimized_dalvik.zip from thread:

http://xdaforums.com/nexus-4/general/4-4-4-4-x-qualcomm-optimized-dalvik-t2546120

So I tried to use ClockworkMod to install the file df43279bcf6bb6a0ae403249c3e6f314d0a7eb77.signed-razor-KTU84L-from-KOT49H.df43279b.zip

But it failed with error: /system/bin/dalvikvm has unexpected contents

I've tried to revert back the libraries using KOT49E_stock_revert.zip in the above thread.

But the installation of df43279bcf6bb6a0ae403249c3e6f314d0a7eb77.signed-razor-KTU84L-from-KOT49H.df43279b.zip still failed with different error: /system/bin/installd has unexpected contents

Is there anyone encountered the same problem like mine?

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Thanks for your suggestion! I've tried but still encountered /system/bin/installd has unexpected contents
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] sola fide:
Are you sure you used the system.img from the 4.4.2 build? Also, how did you flash the system.img file. I recommend using fastboot mode to write it.

I ran into this same problem because I forgot I flashed Dalvik and Bionic. Same error in fact. I flashed the system.img rebooted and went straight back into recovery and pushed the update by ADB and it worked perfectly. Double check everything, because flashing the system.img should correct that error.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] nct2k:
Yes, I used fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (extracted from razor-kot49h-factory-ebb4918e.tgz)

then used adb sideload df43279bcf6bb6a0ae403249c3e6f314d0a7eb77.signed-razor-KTU84L-from-KOT49H.df43279b.zip when the Nexus is in stock recovery mode

I've switched to TWRP (openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.1-flo.img), same error.

BTW, did you apply the KOT49E_stock_revert.zip before the sideload?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] sola fide:
After flashing recovery.img you also need to flash system.img pulled from the same tar file. That's why you're still getting the error. Only flashing the recovery file won't write over what the Dalvik and Bionic files edited.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] sbaeder:
In other words - ALL the OTA things can only work on 100% STOCK system. Personally, I used the WUG tool kit to flash a complete NEW, CLEAN, STOCK 4.4.3 (of course that does do a reset of the entire machine)...

You MIGHT be able to put back the stock runtime files that were changed and then do the update so you don't have to go "cold turkey", but my guess is that even that won't allow a update...For the amount of changes, you might just be better off sticking with 4.4.2 :)

Good luck...

Did anyone of u managed to find the recovery for G900K?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ch4dwick:
The only recovery that works on this model is the version g900k-cwm-recovery-6.0.4.8-en(0422) by XiaoLu. Get that copy and you should be able to have a custom recovery.

So for simplicity:

1) Flash g900k-cwm-recovery-6.0.4.8-en(0422).tar using odin 3.09.

2) Boot to recovery and install zip SphinX_Root(ChoiMobile.VN)_G900K-5.0.zip

3) install zip UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.37.zip

4) Reboot.

Do note that the above example works on lollipop. I didn't have problems rooting the G900K in kitkat but you do need to do a wipe cache/dalvik vm/factory restore.
