[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] ChrisNelsonPE:
https://xdaforums.com/pixel-xl/how-to/guide-update-fastboot-t3498187 seems promising. I can adapt to use sailfish vs. marlin. But I'm not sure how to know which image is for Verizon.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] fritzgerald:
Copy the OTA zip you downloaded, from your phone to your computer. Reboot into TWRP. Go to Advanced and choose "ADB sideload"(not sure if that's exactly what it's called). Once the phone is waiting for ADB, go back to your computer and open a command prompt and type "adb sideload OTA.zip". OTA.zip will be the zip you downloaded. Example: if you copied it to C:\ you would type "adb sideload c:\sailfish-ota-nmf26-xxxxxxxx.zip" or whatever the zip is named.

That is how you would sideload an OTA. If you downloaded a full factory image then open "flash-all.bat" in notepad, remove the "-w"(it's towards the bottom), connect your phone, reboot to bootloader, run flash-all.bat.

Both a full image and OTA will remove your root and TWRP. You will need to re flash recovery and reroot after updating. Just follow the same guides you did originally.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] ChrisNelsonPE:
I don't seem to be able to find the OTA on my phone. Not sure where it gets put.

From your description of using the full image, I imagine I 1) unzip the factory image zip, 2) edit the flash-all.bat in the result, 3) run flash-all.bat (that is, I don't rezip and try to use the package). Right?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] fritzgerald:
That's correct. If you downloaded the OTA with System Updates then I'm not sure where it gets stored. If you downloaded it from Google then it would be in your downloads folder.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] spiller37:
You can try the guide I wrote here to sideload the full ota zip from google.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] ChrisNelsonPE:
adb sideload failure

That's a great guide. Alas, when I try to sideload the OTA I get:

PS C:\adb> adb sideload .\sailfish-ota-nmf26u-6ea22a0c.zip
loading: '.\sailfish-ota-nmf26u-6ea22a0c.zip'
error: closed
PS C:\adb> adb sideload .\sailfish-ota-nmf26u-6ea22a0c.zip
loading: '.\sailfish-ota-nmf26u-6ea22a0c.zip'
error: device '(null)' not found

I though the problem might be the old TWRP in my phone so I used the alpha2 I had to install rc1.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] spiller37:
Sounds like the driver isn't recognized. Does ADB devices list your device?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] ChrisNelsonPE:
Now I'm in a boot loop. TWRP -- when it comes up at all -- says it is alpha2 and it doesn't prompt for the code to decrypt my data so the directory listing is gibberish. What do I do now? Reflash 7.0? Flash 7.1?

To recap, I have a Pixel I bought from Google with an unlocked boot loader and TWRP installed but can't boot to Android.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] TonikJDK:
Alpha 2 is the wrong TWRP. You want RC1.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] spiller37:
That looks like an ADB device driver problem. Do you see your device listed with ADB devices when in TWRP/Advanced/Sideload?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] ChrisNelsonPE:
Yes.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] ChrisNelsonPE:
That's fine. But how do I get there from a phone which is in a boot loop running alpha1?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] ChrisNelsonPE:
I get into TWRP on my phone an do

PS C:\adb> fastboot .\twrp-3.0.2-0-RC1-fastboot-sailfish.img
< waiting for device >

on my computer and it waits forever.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] TonikJDK:
Power it down, hold power button and volume down to get it into fastboot.

Fastboot flash TWRPfilename.img

And if that does not work download the full factory image but edit flashall.bat to remove the -w which will save your data and flash the whole thing.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] ChrisNelsonPE:
So, I think I had to do this. `adb` lists my device but when I try to sideload it says the device (null) doesn't exist.

Do I somehow tell `fastboot` to use the factory image .zip file or do I unzip it, edit flashall.bat, then run flashall.bat?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] TonikJDK:
Unzip it into your fastboot directory. Then edit and run flashall.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] ChrisNelsonPE:
Last question (I hope): In `flashall` I see:

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-sailfish-8996-012001-1611091517.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader

I've gone to some trouble to unlock the bootloader. Do I really want to execute these lines?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] TonikJDK:
Execute it all, after taking out the -w

It won't relock. What I am having you do is a standard flash back to stock without a data wipe

It's how most of us update every month.

It won't relock.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] ChrisNelsonPE:
I got impatient and manually did the other two flash steps. My data got erased. <sigh> I don't know if it would have been different if I'd included the boot loader.

I have 7.1.1 running now and it is restoring my apps from the cloud in background. When that's done, I expect to update TWRP and install SuperSU then use Titanium to get my app data back from yesterday morning's backup. Why do they make this so hard?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] TonikJDK:
It's not that hard my way.

fastboot.bat removing the -w

Re TWRP and Re Root.

Once you get it down it's a 10 minute job each month.

Sorry it went bad for you, but the above has worked flawlessly for me for 2+ years. You said you flashed two things. I am assuming that means you flashed image-marlin-nmf26u.zip. Inside that are a bunch of images, so yea you flashed userdatata.img and that is what wiped your apps and data. removing the -w from the bat files makes it skip the userdata.img.

Might want to just do it again without the -w before you set it all back up again. Then you will know it works and be ready for next month to just rock and roll.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demonizer84:
ok so i had been given 2 tablets to work on both had similar issues and iv managed to get it down to one tablet, but its giving me a right headache.....

the tablet in question is the one in the title and the problem is , someone has come in store took an offensive photo ,set it as the lock screen wallpaper and then added a pin to the lock screen so it cannot be unlocked and simply removed, a hard reset would normally counter this, but the tablet is also in retail mode, so a hard reset will not work, i have tried installing a custom firmware via odin too, but im either doing something wrong or that wont work, as upon reboot, it comes back to the same lock screen with the same picture with the same problems,

so im out of ideas and wondering if anything is even possible to solve the issue..

[Touch CDMA General] cruise350:
Hey All,

I've got a ton of media files on my SD card that will all play using WMP, But for some reason when I try to add them to the WMP library it won't add them. When I use the update library feature it finds all the files, but when it says adding files to library it only adds the files saved on the device and not the sd card. When going to library and selecting storage card as source and then clicking on music or videos I get an error message that says "Windows Media, An unexpected error occurred". Does anybody know of o fix or has had this problem. Any help is appreciated.
[Touch CDMA General] remlle:
I dont have this issue. one question is what size memory card. has it ever worked in the touch? does it work in any other device?

it may be a problem of the card.
[Touch CDMA General] Merlin_reloaded:
Try moving the files to a subdirectory on the SD..eg.: /Storage Card/Music/*
[Touch CDMA General] cruise350:
Right now the files are in the my documents\my music folder on the storage card. I hadn't tried it with my old sd card because with the 512 card was large enough to bother. I can play all the files if I select them with open file, I can even play the whole folder if I select it. It even puts up the album art on the screen. It just won't let me add them to the library.
[Touch CDMA General] cruise350:
Thanks for everyones suggestions. I was able to fix it by deleting the MSMETADATA and the WMRDM folders from the storage card and this fixed it. I got the answer from sprintusers forum but the guy that posted it said he ound the fix here. So thanks to those on this forum also.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pboronczyk:
Hey everyone.

I have a small question. Did anybody tried to downgrade from 14.1 (CM 14.1-20161225-NIGHTLY-hammerhead) to CM13 (cm-13.0-20161222-SNAPSHOT-ZNH5YAO3Z2-hammerhead). My nexus on CM14.1 is having some issues. On CM13 everything worked ok. Lineage is in early state, so if it is possible i will stay with CM13 for a long time because it was the best OS in my opinion.

Have a nice day and thanks for every reply ;)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
You can replace CM14.1 with CM13 but I would recommend performing a full wipe before installing CM13.

You can't downgrade revisions. It worked before because your device still had revision 1 firmware installed.

[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] ashyx:
Are these custom roms flashed with twrp?

If so you should be fine as these don't contain the bootloader.

It looks like the revision 2 bootloader is backwards compatible with earlier revision 1 firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] esansnewman:
Yes they are, but first I have to flash by odin the correcr stock firmware for those roms because if not the wifi does not work
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] ashyx:
Extract the NON-HLOS.bin from the firmware and repack it to tar format then flash with odin after flashing the custom rom.

That usually cures loss of wifi.

Otherwise you will need to remove aboot from the firmware before flashing with odin.

Neither of the above will guarantee that wifi will work as the bootloader will decide if it will allow the firmware to be mismatched.

DEPRECATED because I don't have the watch anymore. Might still work, might also not. Feel free to just try and iterate on my work.

Links are going to remain active for now. PM me if they are broken without me stating here that I deleted them.

Since Asus doesn't provide official factory images, I decided to extract them with adb and post them here.

These are the stock partitions of the Asus Zenwatch 3, unmodified and pulled via

adb pull /dev/block/platform/soc/7824900.sdhci/by-name/<partition-name>

"Common" images, which are flashable via fastboot (means boot, recovery and system) are in the first zip (part1).

Second one contains some other partitions which might be of interest for reverse-engineering, bootloader modding, etc. Proceed at your own risk. They also can't most likely be flashed through fastboot if original partition gets broken (maybe with dd?), so be careful!

[Asus ZenWatch 3] jobarr:
Thanks! So this should work with regular old "fastboot flash system system.img", etc.? The watches should be identical worldwide, right? I have one from Germany, and it looks like you're from Germany too, so that shouldn't be a problem, but I'm just wondering about other people.
[Asus ZenWatch 3] Maxr1998:
Yes, you can flash with fastboot. Boards should be all the same, and since the watch doesn't have mobile data, the firmware files shouldn't differ much and be compatible with every model. My device name in settings is "ASUS ZenWatch 3 2458", for reference.

(edited)
[Asus ZenWatch 3] Maxr1998:
UPDATE: I updated part1, so please redownload if you already downloaded it. The system.img wasn't flashable via fastboot before, but after I converted it to a sparse image with img2simg it now is.

Great. I guess I'll give it a try. :)
[Asus ZenWatch 3] jobarr:

[Asus ZenWatch 3] jobarr:
If anyone is unsure of how to do this:

1) Get the SDK Platform Tools for your platform:

https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools.html

2) Connect to USB using the charger

3) Start up in fastboot mode (I enabled ADB debugging by going to Settings -> About and tapping again and again on the "Build number" to enable the Developer options, then Settings -> Developer options -> ADB debugging -> enable, and then typed "adb reboot-bootloader" at the command prompt)

5) Unlock watch with "fastboot oem unlock" <- This will erase everything on the watch

5) Flash the partitions with "fastboot flash boot boot.img", "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img", and "fastboot flash system system.img" (make sure you are in the same folder as the img files from Maxr1998 or modify the commands accordingly)

And that's it.
