It won't boot into recovery. Please help me, what can I do ? It just shows the google logo, then blackscreen for some seconds and then the google logo again and so on. What can I do ?

UPDATE: no problem, I unrooted it and it works fine now.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Brendan12695:
Is the website for the drivers down? I cannot reach it.

Ok. Im retarded. I forgot i didnt have java downloaded since i reformatted.

OK, so i have my tablet unlocked and rooted... but im stuck on the Upload ROM to /sdcard. It wont let me mount /sdcard...
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jamesst20:
Haha that happened to me once xD

Help

I installed the driver you gave, and it connects in fast boot, I do the wipe and I install recovery but when I'm in recovery he says he is unable to connect to device. My device is only connected in fast boot, so I can't upload the ROM.

Easy solution? :confused:

Edit: Sorry didn't install the driver properly, works like a charm, you're awesome.

Success!

Hello, I installed Smooth rom via this flasher and all is well..

Only problem is restoring my apps. I did a nandroid backup right before , moved folder from sd card to my pc, then moved back to N7 after updating rom. Clockmod reports no backups found.

The other thing was reading thru these post I didnt understand this comment a user had left a few pages back "Interesting name, keeping in mind that there are no option to flash ROMs". At first I said, what is he talking about? I then realized after I ran the steps, cwm is actually flashing the rom! So your name is a little misleading...

Anways, if you can help me restore my apps that would be cool!

thxs

D

**edit* I created another backup via cwm and it created a new folder where the latest backup is stored. I then moved my earlier backup into that folder and cwm now recognizes it...been awhile since I have done this, so do I need to d/l my apps then run restore or will restore bring it all back?

Re: [Tool][Win/Mac/Linux] JROMFlasher - Clean your device - Prepare for Flashing !

No idea I never backups my stuffs. If I need a specific data I will only save this specific thing. Otherwise, backing up old settings + old garbages, wiping them and restoring them as the same effect as if you wouldn't wipe ;)

Re: [Tool][Win/Mac/Linux] JROMFlasher - Clean your device - Prepare for Flashing !

What OS? Running from archive or you extracted everything? Is your antivirus deleting a file perhaps?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] LiquidPlatinum:
Windows 7 64-bit. Not sure about my antivirus, Norton tends to think alot of toolboxes like this one, especially with rooting capabilities/ rooting exploits are malious or something...

And I've tried both extracted and not extracted, none work.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jamesst20:

Used winrar. Does windows even have zip/unzip feature
[Nexus 7 Original Development] FitAmp:
Re: [Tool][Win/Mac/Linux] JROMFlasher - Clean your device - Prepare for Flashing !

Windows has a built in zip feature yes. Wouldn't really recommend using it though if you deal with zips a lot. Winrar is a better alternative.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] LiquidPlatinum:
Yeah, I used WinRar, so I'm not sure why its not working...
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jamesst20:
Re: [Tool][Win/Mac/Linux] JROMFlasher - Clean your device - Prepare for Flashing !

Are you sure the jar is with the folders? Do you extract them before running?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] igotlostintampa:
Allo older thread :)

Used your tool today to prepare my nexus for nerv. and yesterday to clear all the gunk out of my device.

Thanks a bunch it really works!! unfortunately i actually had to use a different set of drivers for my n7 :P not pdanet. pdanet drivers were freaking it out and not letting it use ADB to transfer over the files. Its actually faster doing it this way than running the commands myself!! so thank you very very much.

Ran using Fedora 18 - Completed successfully!! woot

Ran using Windows 7 - Completed successfully!! woot

Ran using Linux Mint 13 - Completed successfully!! woot

so gotta say love this app and will be using it for all future rom installs.

HEY!!! could you blind port this to the HTC evo 4g lte? i think it would already work, just need to replace the recovery inside. Thoughts?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jamesst20:
Hehe thanks you :) I chose to make it in Java to expand compatibility :) Hmm about other devices, as long as the device is compatible with ADB/Fastboot, it should work perfectly but you would need to replace the recovery image ;)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Big_Rich_1983:
Well, seeing as I had already unlocked the bootloader and rooted my Nexus 7, I assumed I already had the correct drivers installed and thought this program would work fine.

I was wrong, and got the "ADB/Fastboot device not found" error that a few of you have had and ended up with a Google splashscreen loop.

Don't try to be a smartass like I did, download the drivers that jamesst20 tells you to!

After downloading the correct drivers and following the instruction properly, everything went fine and Smooth 5.0 is awesome :D

Thanks!

TWRP recovery instead of CWM

I also want to use TWRP instead, so I followed your instructions and replaced the recovery img & got an error not allowing your program to open, until I put the new TWEP img into the folder with the origional img file.....so now it has BOTH. Will this work??? I'mgetting this from questions back on pagr 9 from this thread. There were no reply to this post tabs on those (weird) so I had to post my reply this way. Feedback is very much requested and also appreciated.

Thank you!!

CHEERS,
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jamesst20:
Re: [Tool][Win/Mac/Linux] JROMFlasher - Clean your device - Prepare for Flashing !

It won't open because it thinks the recovery file is missing, make sure to rename TWRP.IMG the same name as the old recovery image
[Nexus 7 Original Development] rydog66:
got'cha....Thanks!!!! I'm just about to use your tool to flash your rom.......the 1st on my new N7!!1 Thanks for your help & your tool!!

---------- Post added at 06:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:34 PM ----------

Well, I had some driver issues to clear up.....halp way thru my 1st rom flashing on my N7, using this tool for the 1st time, so there were a FEW moments of panic, but after fixing those drivers (I still don't exactly know what worked the 2nd time around that didn't "stick" the 1st time, since I did the exact same thing both times) everything worked as promised. Thanks again for this tool. I'm gonna have to give myself some time to learn this N7. It IS different than the PHONES that I have experience flashing/modding.

Thanks again!!!

Hello... I follow the steps and when I tried to mount /sdcard, nothing happens. The screen blink for a sec and it still shows 'mount/sdcard'. I am able to mount all other partitions though...
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jamesst20:
Yep it is fine, it is why I wrote 'Mount all the partitions you can' instead of 'Mount all partitions' but actually it looks that it doesn't mount it, but it really does
[Nexus 7 Original Development] sus4ntoh:
Thank you for your respond. Once I mounted all the partitions that I can, I received an error when I tried to upload the ROM. It said no partition or something found. I forgot what was the exact error message...
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jamesst20:
Can't help without the exact message :P
[Nexus 7 Original Development] sus4ntoh:
Sorry. I am in West coast and just came back from East coast. Woke up at 3:00 am and decided to flash it using JROMFlasher. I was able to get what I want using another tool.

I am going to give it another try when it is time to re-flash my N7 again.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jamesst20:
Finally updated the tool! Now in version 2.0!

- Stability improvements

- Detecting device

- Fully recoded

- Recovery = TWRP 2.5.0​
[Nexus 7 Original Development] sus4ntoh:
Thank you for providing a new update. I decided to give it another try since I am so in love with your smooth Rom.

I downloaded the 2.0 of JROMFlasher and able to go through from step 1-3 with no problem. Then when I tried to do step 4, it said if I can't, I have to manually boot it into recovery mode through start option which I did. It boots into TWRP recovery and this is when I hit the wall.

At this point I am in Recovery mode and JROMFlasher indicates Status: Device Disconnected. When I tried to upload ROM to /sdcard, it said 'Device must be in Recovery to send file'. Once I click ok it gives another pop up and said 'An error occured while sending Rom'. I tried to mount all the partitions I can through Recovery but no luck :(.

Edit 1: If I reboot to fastboot, JROMFlasher was able to recognize that the device is connected but as soon as I boot into Recovery, it said device disconnected.

Edit 2: Ha! I think I found the problem. Previously I use Wug fresh tool kit and assume all the drivers that I had are sufficient until I see a post saying follow James instruction, don't be a smart ass like he did lol. Went back to first page, install the pdanet driver and it detects it in Recovery mode. Status: Sending ROM... May take a while... :).
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jamesst20:
Hahaha :) Thanks for you report ! I think I will add this post on the OP :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] rydog66:
Thanks a bunch for this. You already knw I'm a big fan of your work. JromFlasher 1 workd great for me. I can't wait to try this one out. Maybe when flashing the next SmoothRom. Thanks for the heads up on that thread too, your instructions worked flawlessly for me getting 5.1 up & running.....LOVE IT by the way. Thank You!!

Cheers,

I've installed the drivers in the op but the I can't get past the first step. I hit "Boot into fastboot" and nothing happens. The Drivers were able to find my tablet so I don't know why the ROMFlasher can't
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jamesst20:
On the bottom left (Status) of JROMFlasher, does it detect your device? Did you try reinstalling the driver or rebooting PC or unplug/replug the device?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] mirrored:
It says: "Status: Idle"

I rebooted the PC & device and unplugged/replugged the device. PDANet recognizes the tablet. Wugs ToolKit recognizes it.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jamesst20:
You downloaded Version 1.0 :P
[Nexus 7 Original Development] mirrored:
Lol I'm dumb. I got everything working. I was starting to hate my Nexus 7 because it was so slow and laggy. I'm running the latest version of your SmoothROM and it's great. It's made me appreciate my tablet way more. :good:
[Nexus 7 Original Development] fljoe:
Excellent tool! Just had a slight hiccup when clicking on Step 4 "Boot Into Recovery" and it could not automatically do it. Had to manually power down the device and hold the Vol-UP and VOL-Down and Power buttons simultaneously and then look at the arrow on the screen to get into Recovery. After that device was able to send the smoothrom.zip file to /sdcard and then I was able to install the ROM using TWRP recovery.

jamesst20 --- Thanks again for this great tool .. made life much easier to flash your ROM!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jamesst20:
Np and btw, this is not a bug, the device can't be rebooted from Fastboot to recovery ;)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] extortion00:
i'm having a strange issue..

everything works perfectly fine until i get into recovery mode..

the program will tell me connection to the device is disconnected and i cannot upload a rom to the sd card :confused: any help?

btw i installed all the drivers i needed
[Nexus 7 Original Development] fljoe:
Check whether the Developer Options are Enabled and the Enable USB Debugging is ON under Developer Options.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] extortion00:
same results.. it works perfectly up until i get into recovery mode then it says status: device disconnected and whenever i try to send a file to sd card it tells me i need to be in recovery to do that:confused:
[Nexus 7 Original Development] rydog66:
Have you tried to unplug the device and re plug it back k in? Also if that doesn't work, you can switch modes when it is plugged in. Sorry I'm not near my device now so I cannot check my device to tell you exact terms it's just from memory. When you connect your N7 to ur computer, the icon that pops up in your nav bar.... Click it. This takes you to a menu that you can switch modes from the computer recognizing the N7 as removable storage or camera. Switch that to camera mode then see if it recognizes the device then switch it back. I have done this when having driver issues, knowing the pda.net drivers are correct but for whatever reason wouldn't recognize my device. This worked for me. Again, I apologize for not using the proper terminology, this is all from memory. I hope it still helps you. Good luck!

Cheers,
[Nexus 7 Original Development] extortion00:
i've done everything but i cannot mount usb-otg partitions.. i just cannot get the program to see my nexus 7 when im in recovery.

EDIT: fixed! it turned out to be a driver issue on my computer.. sorted this issue out! thanks:good:
[Nexus 7 Original Development] rydog66:
That was addressed a few posts back. Does it recognise the device when it's in fastboot/bootloader?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jamesst20:
Which is way it says to install the driver :/
[Nexus 7 Original Development] rydog66:
Good, I'm glad
[Nexus 7 Original Development] EpedemicOptikz:
bleh i knew i should have flashed it the hard way.

So I followed the instructions until I got to the part where I click boot into recovery and I had to do it manually myself. Then for some reason, It wouldn't let me upload the ROM to my sd-card and I tried to do it manually through the recovery but it just kept giving me "unable to mount /usb-otg" so i'm stuck going between fastboot and recovery mode trying to figure out if there's anything that I can do with no luck.

I've left my tablet on for the past 10 minutes hoping that it's just taking forever to boot the system up. :(

And before anyone asks, yes I installed the pda drivers and followed the instructions. So, anyone have any ideas on how I can revive this nexus 7?

EDIT:

think I figured it out, had to go into the device manager and manually update the software on android device.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] rydog66:
I hope you got it. If not, my experience both personally as well as what I've witnessed in this thread..... It's ALWAYS driver issues! I hope you did get it figured out the.

Cheers,
[Nexus 7 Original Development] EpedemicOptikz:
Yeah I managed to get it. I know a few posts before this was the same problem. There should probably be extra clarification for this in the OP so people don't get frustrated and worried like I did. XD
[Nexus 7 Original Development] rydog66:
I'm glad you got it!! No matter how much we think we know or how comfortable we get doing modifications on our devices, as soon as we run into a huccup or bump in the road......there's absolutely NO FEELING like the sinking void in your stomach. Panic and anxiety come on full blast & the worst case scenarios come rushing to the front of your mind. Worries of unrepairable damage that you caused.....the money that you wasted......all the warnings you see at the top of the first page of every ROM or MOD you have seen a thousand times....Yessir, I've been there too!

The OP is very clear! It's NOT jamesst20's fault, his tool works great.....even in your case. As soon as the drivers situation was rectified, it was able to do it's thing. I'm as guilty as the next guy. I have been flashing roms & mods on my phones for a while now, so I know what I'm doing, right?? I got my N7 and was in a big hurry to start flashing everything in sight, and ran into the same issues you did, and several, SEVERAL others too. I came to realize that I just need to take the accountability for my actions and slow down and read all the info I can about the ROM's and MOD's and tools that I use. These threads are FULL of answers & if after searching and reading all hyou can, you still have questions, at least then you'll know how to find the information you need. Where to go & how to ask for assistance. That's what has been successful for me. Good Luck!!!!

Cheers,
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jamesst20:
Yeah, wish Nexus 7 was working natively on Windows like it does on Linux.

Like I said, booting from Fastboot to Recovery HAVE TO be manually because the device can only be rebooted into normal mode which is not what we want

Error "Something went wrong"

I'm trying to install SmoothROM v5.2 from stock the easy way using your JROMFlasher.

I'm in a fastboot and when I click on Wipe my Data, I get an error saying "something went wrong." And I can't figure out what I can do to get this to work. Funny thing is when I unplugged and rebooted the N7, the welcome screen came up so it looks like it did wipe user data.

I've attached error image below.

Any help is much appreciated!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jamesst20:
It shouldn't be only wiping the UserData so something really went wrong but it is weird that it did wipe userdata. Would you mind try to install the driver I mentioned ? I am 100% it is a driver issue :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] freesunshine:
If you're talking about the PdaNet+, yes I've installed per your instruction.

Edit, looks like it Pdanet did not installed correctly, weird. Anyway, I try to reinstall the driver, Pdanet, but during the install I'm getting "installer fail to open device" and close out the install (uninstall actually).

I don't know why but during the install, even if I choose 'other" manufacture it keep saying would you like to install Samsung android phone.

2nd Edit...Ok so I had to use the Google Nexus 7 TOOLKIT V5.0.0 to get it working. Thanks for your help!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Alexmessy:
I have the same error right now, when I click on wipe data it says device disconnected and something went wrong... :/

Edit: I managed to do it with the old one, and no problem at all, I dont know what could be the problem with v2 :/
[Nexus 7 Original Development] freesunshine:

you should try to re-install the drivers recommended PDA.net Driver issues are the most common problem. I had issues with the pda.net driver installation/un-installation/re-installation as well. I promise you that once the drivers are successfully iinstalled, you won't have to mess with them again, and you will be able to use this tool for successful & fool proof device wiping & clean rom installs done the RIGHT way. Good Luck!

[Nexus 7 Original Development] jamesst20:
Yeah it is all about drivers but the toolkit mentioned above seems to install the driver on its own which is why it seems to fix people issues. I should ask the dev, I don't know how he managed to install drivers programatically :P
[Nexus 7 Original Development] rydog66:
I think that toolkit is by a dev called [MENTION=894259]mskip[/MENTION] I used the donate version to root when I first got my N7. He's a great dev and quick to reply. I'm sure he would answer any of your questions.... but I remember installing the PDA.net drivers for that too......I know there's been several updates since, but I didn't pay much attention to that part since I already had the drivers installed and working.

Cheers
[Nexus 7 Original Development] gattaca714:
Got it to work today. I installed the PDA.Net program, and then uninstalled it.. When it uninstalls it leaves just necessary driver components to be able to upload the .zip file into recovery when JROMFlasher is on in step 5.

When I was installing this on my windows device, AVG caught a virus so hopefully you didnt do it but it affected my browser, hopefully nothing really bad happened, I can't tell but please check the file

[Nexus 7 Original Development] htcfan85:
I don't think this makes it easier at all. I tried it, somehow got stuck on the second step with it still wiping all of my data (don't see the point of this, to be honest), and then I couldn't do sh*t with it for like an hour. I tried using Wug's root toolkit to flash or push ROMs, but that didn't work. Finally, I skipped all the steps and used the last one in recovery to push a ROM that I was on before and it worked. I was able to load SentinelROM, but no other ROM worked for some reason. It would have just been easier to go into recovery mode, factory reset, wipe system, wipe caches, then install. I was seriously very worried that I had somehow bricked it and was going to have to go to eBay to buy another one or a new one.

Can I ask why it was necessary to put in "Wipe my data" instead of factory reset, wipe system, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache? Even when you go to recovery mode>wipe>wipe data, it says something like, "In most cases you will not need to do this."

Wiping my data kept causing the bootloader to freeze when I was trying to push a ROM.

Nice effort (not like I'd be able to make something like this) but it doesn't take too long to go into recovery to do everything yourself, so why risk it?
