Hi,

I'm obviously very new at this and didn't realize that a phone needed to be stock to be activated, and I didn't save a backup either. So I'm in need of a stock rom for what I assume is the latest OTA....Android version 2.3.7 with bootloader 2.18.....I can't find any information on this and the one download link that I saw to the stock rom appears to be dead. If anyone can help me I would be greatly appreciative.

[EVO 4G General] jwitt418:
I have it saved on my CPU. Will your email alow you to receive a file of that size? Or if someone knows how I can host it let me know.
[EVO 4G General] dg2727:
Great news....I just have hotmail and gmail and from a quick search, it looks like their limit is much less than would be needed. Dropbox maybe?
[EVO 4G General] jwitt418:
I have no problem doing it for you but I don't know much about dropbox or how it works. I could probably make a torrent of it if you want to download it from your cpu.

Or if you are that desperate for it, you can snail mail me an SD card and ill send it back. I'm here to help bud.
[EVO 4G General] dg2727:
I think Google Drive might be the easiest. It allows you to store 5gb online free. You can create an account with your google account, and then upload the file to it, and then you share the folder containing the file with other google account holders. I just set it up to see how it works and it only takes a minute to install but I imagine the upload will take a bit. I'll pm you my google account name. But if you think a torrent is most convenient then obviously I'll be happy with whatever works.

Much thanks
[EVO 4G General] dg2727:
So the version that jwitt had was 5.07.xx for android 2.3.5, and I need the latest rom for 2.3.7, which is 5.18.xx.....So if anyone can help me I would be very appreciative

Or if there is a way to downgrade my android version to 2.3.5 then I suppose that would work, but I don't know how to do that.
[EVO 4G General] MBQ_:
So, you're looking for a stock AOSP ROM?

CM7 dude... http://download.cyanogenmod.com/get/jenkins/8548/cm-7-20120923-NIGHTLY-supersonic.zip
[EVO 4G General] dg2727:
I need the stock rom that will allow me to activate my phone. When entering in the ##xxxx# codes in the dialer that sprint uses to set up network profiles, nothing happens with the cm roms.

*edit...

OK, I'm just an idiot and didn't realize that I needed to clear the storage after flashing. My phone works fine and is activated. Thank you all who attempted to help me.
[EVO 4G General] AjaxBU:
I've been looking around too. I have S-Off and would like to keep it that way, just flash an unrooted stock rom. I do know that s-off basically means root, but I would like a rom that wouldn't look rooted unless you went to the bootloader. I'm giving it to a friend and he asked if I could do that for him.
[EVO 4G General] Magnum_Enforcer:
S-off and root are not the same, although you do have to have root to gain s-off. And, correct me if I'm wrong, but if you flash an unrooted or stock ROM, you will lose root AND s-off.

[EVO 4G General] Dunsparth:
I need to put my phone on the stock rom again and go back to normal so i can turn it into the store.

Can anybody help?
[EVO 4G General] Soap:
Find an RUU and run it through bootloader or your computer to revert to stock.

lol,ive downloaded this but every page keeps saying"are you sure" lol making me nervous
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jamesst20:
There is no are you sure in my tool. Unsure what you're talking about.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] tonybhoy:
screenshot.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jamesst20:
It has nothing to do with my tool. Unsure what you're doing in your GooManager lol
[Nexus 7 Original Development] tonybhoy:
pmsl i was doing it on my n7:o,ive got it going now ......i need sleep :good: will let you know result
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jamesst20:
Yeah xD it is a computer tool :P it has nothing to do with your device application :P
[Nexus 7 Original Development] tonybhoy:
its saying no device found in ADB recovery,now stuck on google screen with padlock
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jamesst20:
Well, if you're showing up Google splash boot it won't be detecting it :P You have to be in Fast boot/Recovery to get your device detected .

Hold power until the screen turn off and then hold volume down and it should boot to fast boot :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] tonybhoy:
had to go back to stock,everything was going fine until trying to upload your ROM then just said cant be detected,try again after using toolkit to get rooted again,looks like im staying up lol,same thing happened when trying to upload your rom
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jamesst20:
You're suppose to follow the button in order :P

1. Go to fast boot

2nd, wipe

3rd Install custom recovery

4 go into recovery

5 mount your partitions

6 upload ROM

This is the exact order of my buttons :p if you don't follow them it will not work ^^

But after step 6, you must install the ROM from recovery ^^ otherwise don't expect anything else then being stuck on Google splash screen

[Nexus 7 Original Development] tonybhoy:
yep followed on order,only it wouldnt upload your ROM at number 6,so done it the old fashioned way and it worked ok,so now im on it
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jamesst20:
You need java 7.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jamesst20:
Anyone succeed to use the tool or it only works on my side?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] joopzor:
Works great and was really simple to do. Thanks
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jamesst20:
Thanks for the feedback :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jamesst20:
Oh I am sorry about this "Download Manager" that is offered by the host I have uploaded JROMFlasher. I was not aware of that because the checkbox offering the "Download Manager" only appears on Windows which I barely use. I will upload JROMFlasher to another host.

Thanks

After install Recovery and flash Custom ROM, can I go back as Factory if I want?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jamesst20:
Yeah sure :P My tool isn't giving the function to do it but you can easily do it manually or use another existing tool :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] tinybilbo:
I give this app a "Ronseal" approval :)

(Ronseal is Uk product/varnish that advertises that it does exactly what it says on the tin)

I got my Nexus today and after rooting used this to prepare my Nexus for flashing glazed rom from recovery.

Thanks for a very easy tool..
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jamesst20:
Glad you like thanks :D
[Nexus 7 Original Development] bASKOU:
Really good tool for the beginer, even if I do not need it i downloaded it for see if my computer was allergic to all the tools for N7. And surprise fisrt tool for N7 ever running on my PC. Sure this will help a lot of people. Good thing.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] MS.:
Interesting name, keeping in mind that there are no option to flash ROMs :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jamesst20:
Thanks :) The tool had to work in any PC, this why I chose to use Java :) Could have be C++ but would be a pain to compile for every platform ^^

Well it prepare everything and even upload the ROM so yeah the name is fine :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Linexus:
I plugged in my N7 and I checked that USB Debugging is enabled but

it doesn't recognize the N7.

help please.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jamesst20:
I bet you do not have the proper driver installed :P Download and install this http://junefabrics.com/android/download.php

After it should work :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] _Johnito_:
Hey jamesst20,

Thanks for your work: it looks really amazing ! I'm a 1st time android user and would like to use your ROM on my Nexus 7 in the end. I'm not sure how to proceed. Do i need to root the device before to use JROMFlasher ?

BTW, what tool did you use to benchamrk initial ROM and SmoothROM in your SmoothROM topic ? I've been using iPhones since now, i'm really new at this :-p
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Anon1992:
This is supposed to wipe everything right?, I read it carefully but I thought its just like a reset factory in cwm.

Since all my data are gone (titanium backup, music, movies,pics). I mean its no big deal, I don't really have anything on it, just asking if it supposed to work like this or I did something wrong.

Thanks
[Nexus 7 Original Development] notko:
It's showing me no files when trying to install ROM from recovery mode. With JROMFlasher i successfully uploaded ROM.zip

What am i doing wrong?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jaboswell:
Same issue here. I came from CleanRom , did what the JROMFLASHER needed to do, and it does not show any ROM to zip. AND I have no backup in nandroid because I erased everything in the wipe.

Got a N7 doing nothing ......

---------- Post added at 03:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:43 AM ----------

I redid the steps, but this time, I partitioned my sd card prior to uploading the ROM from the JROMFLASHER....works now!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jamesst20:
Hi, :)

I've used 'Quadrant' for the benchmarks. and all you need in an unlocked bootloader before processing :) and remember ! You just have to follow the buttons in order in my tool one after each other :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jamesst20:
You know that you can't skip a step :) ? Including the one that says 'Mount all partitions!' :p if you dont mount it, itt's gonna upload the rom somewhere unknown x)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jamesst20:
Yep :p it erases everything :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] thunderstruck484:
Extracted zip to desktop, but when I try to run JROMFlasher.jar I get an error saying, "Could not find the main class: Main. Program will exit."

[Nexus 7 Original Development] jamesst20:
Hi,

Try updating your java to version 7 :) www.java.com
[Nexus 7 Original Development] pmgreen:
Java 7 is only for OS x 10.7, right?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jamesst20:
This would highly suprise me :p I'm pretty sure it works on 10.5, 10.6, 10.7, 10.8 and it does work on Linux/Windows too
[Nexus 7 Original Development] swieder711:
I just tried running your script and get multiple errors when I tell it to wipe my data.

See the attched screen grabs.

The script does let my boot into Fastboot. BTW - I am on CWM 6.0.1.0 - in case that has any impact on why I cant run your script.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jamesst20:
Just try rebooting the bootloader :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] T-Keith:
I am also getting the "Could not find the main class: Main. Program will exit." when trying to run it. Ubuntu 12.04, Java 7 is installed. Nexus is borked from 3.2 and I can't even boot into recovery.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Tseng17:
I am not able to mount sdcard. Everything else shows mounted (system/catch/data).

Tried to format sdcard, CWM shows it is done, then still can't mount sdcard.

Any idea what could be causing this?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jamesst20:
This is normal don't worry :) this is why I said 'mont all partition : you can'

There is smoething wrong with your Java 7 install :p Probably that Java 6 or earlier is set as default, I would suggest you to remove all java and only install v7
[Nexus 7 Original Development] T-Keith:
Sorry I tried uninstalling java 6, and still no go. Has anyone gotten this working on linux?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Tseng17:
Because sdcard is not mounted, when I click on "Upload my rom to sdcard", it shows device not found.

How should I proceed to next step?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jamesst20:
It is not because it doesn't mount your sdcard. Are you in recovery mode? Are the drivers installed ? if not install this : http://junefabrics.com/android/download.php and your issue should be solved
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jamesst20:
Look on google 'Fully Uninstall Java Ubuntu' and try one of their method to fully wipe your java and then install Java 7 and it should be alright. I think I am using OpenJRE 7/OpenJDK 7 on Linux Mint to make it works
[Nexus 7 Original Development] thtcpapa:
Just downloaded and flashed

Everything worked fine and it is quite simple following your flasher

Well done great job

It is very smooth and I enjoy it very much

Thanks
[Nexus 7 Original Development] T-Keith:
Thanks for the response, however I got my nexus wiped using another tool.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jamesst20:
Alright :P if you used another tool, you probably have the driver by now ;)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] T-Keith:
I'm on Linux so no drivers per say. I used the universal Linux toolkit. My problem was java related.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jamesst20:
Ah I see, it is weid because it works on my side with linux :/
[Nexus 7 Original Development] rymdkatt:
Hey

I had a Nexus 7, came with 4.1.1 i belive, did OA update to 4.1.2 after cleaning the framework.

Got the drivers from PdaNetZ350.exe http://junefabrics.com/android/download.php

Unlocked bootloader with NRT_v1.5.4.sfx.exe http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1766475

Then ran your JROMFlasher, from top to bottom.

Mounted everything but /sdcard which didnt want to ^^

Uploaded your SmoothROM-v4.0.zip

Flashed it. Mabye sometime at the start of installation i had to touch the screen for the loading bar disappear (or my timing was just perfect for the loading thing to disappear )

But yeah...Works like a charm man, almost too easy :p

Now i have a Nexus 7 with SmoothROM and tablet UI, just like that. Thank you :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] rfs830:
Tool is great. thanks for this.

I did have a problem where it said it was unable to unzip the rom file. I had to restart recovery but after that everything worked
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jamesst20:
Thanks :D Glad you like :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] tacotime77:
having the same problems as tonybhoy had

"no device found in ADB recovery" at the last step

followed each step word for word

tried reinstalling the nexus7 drivers, still no luck

anything else i could possibly try?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jamesst20:
Windows?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] tacotime77:
yep windows
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jamesst20:
Do you have Admins right? Unsure if they are needed and are you sure the device is plugged and in fastboot ? Or is USB Debugging enabled?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] tacotime77:
usb debugging is enabled

booted into fastboot holding volume down + power and then loaded recovery from there
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jamesst20:
Device reconized by now :) ?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] madcook:
ok so I'm a little lost on the partitioning.what I've read if I don't then I everything well be gone so what is the average size you guys are doing . lastly how do I make one on this device
[Nexus 7 Original Development] sjod8998:
Ok, i do all the steps, one to one. I uploaded the ROM to the sdcard, but when i go to flash responds "Can't open /sdcard/SmoothROM-v 4.1.zip"

Mounted everything but not the sdcard, i can't. Drivers are installed, device are unlocked and rooted, all is OK, so what i do wrong !!!! Please, help !!! (and sorry for my bad english)

I can't boot the device, stock in the screen of "Google"...
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jamesst20:
Try rewiping and resending the rom, the transfer has failed
[Nexus 7 Original Development] kaivorth:
How do I "mount" all partitions? (New to this)

Do I have to root and unlock my N7 as well? Haven't done a thing to this so far.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jamesst20:
You only need what is written on the requirement list ;) You will see once you get at this step how to mount partitions ;) I didn't say to mount them all, only those you can because some might not work ;)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] sjod8998:
Ok, thanks for the respond. Unfortunately i had to use another tool for flash the ROM (that is smothhhh ). I followed your instructions, several times , rewipe, re-upload....but no works, at least for me. That does not mean that others not work correctly, eh?

Repeat, thanks in advance ...
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jamesst20:
Can't tell what was wrong on your side without the output
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Tycff:
Failed

"Failed to find required files" shows up immediately after launching the .jar and I have redownloaded 3 times.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jamesst20:
That's because you didn't extract the jar with the Files folder :P
[Nexus 7 Original Development] GiantsFan91:
i forget to put the rom in the nexus 7. struck on google. i only see black background with google with white letters. can boot into bootloader and cmw. how can i fix this?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jamesst20:
Hold power + volume down until you reach Fastboot :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] GiantsFan91:
i did. i think i delete os without backup. how can i flash a rom and put in the nexus 7?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Bhonka:
After I "Install Recovery + Kernel Ability" I'm unable to access Recovery. It just bootloops the Google and unlock icon. If I go into fastboot and select Recovery manually it does the same and gets stuck in a bootloop.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jamesst20:
If it fails to go into recovery, it is prpbably because you have the old bootloader version. Plug your nexus into a computer and try again to go into into recovery ;) otherwise --> fastboot and rewipe using JROMFlasher. Is JROMFlasher output giving errors?

If you're stuck on Google logo, hold Power + Volume down until you get into fastboot. From there you can go into recovery and upload a rom using JROMFlasher or adb and install it
[Nexus 7 Original Development] racer321:
I plan on using this to flash your ROM

I just want to make sure if any one has tested this on a Mac and it works with out problems :)

If I already have a CWM touch installed and I have stock kernel do I need to do the third step?

If I just want to wipe my data and not install a different ROM can I just do the first two steps?

Thanks for making this great tool :good:
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jamesst20:
I tested it on Windows/Mac/Linux before posting it so yes it should be alright. And of course yes because the step before is meant to erase everything including kernel and recovery ;)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] nysfinest318:
First of all, let me begin by thanking you James for all of your work here in the forums. Without individuals like you providing us with great ROMs/tools to work with I don't know where we would be.

So, my question is this... I don't have much experience with titanium backup but after seeing that your tool erases everything I decided I might want to use it before using the tool. Are there certain things that I should not back up to prevent my device from experiencing problems after I install my new ROM (Smooth 4.2 of course!)?

Thanks in advance for your help...

Nate
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jamesst20:
Well you can backup anything you have under /sdcard but you must leave /data and /system as it contains stuff that must be erased ;) I've never used Titanium backup as I work with adb :P I hope it still answer your question :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jarayn:
Is it possible to make this do TWRP instead?

no biggie I guess .
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jamesst20:
Yeah you could replace the recovery img in files folder ;)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] nico1375:
Hello,

I can't unfortunately use JROM flasher on OSX because whenever I try installing java 7 it just refuses and keeps apple's own java6.

any way to use jromflasher with java6?

Thanks
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jamesst20:
Nope sorry :(

[Nexus 7 Original Development] Sib64:
Is your tool compatble with N7 3G+ Tilapia/Nakasig ?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jamesst20:
Of course! :) Unless the recovery IMG is different for the 3G but that file can be replaced easily by yourself :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] xateeq:
Had very bad experience with this, must be something i did but what can i do on just one click interface, stuck on last step (software wont send file to tablet) and in order to get back to OS i had to reflash the stock via toolkit and then did the steps from recovery.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jamesst20:
Still wondering why people think that flashing stock to their device actually fix or clean their device, it just does nothing. If you couldn't send your rom, what was the error? Were you in recovery? Have you mounted partitions like mentionned in the software?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dpwaters72:
