[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
The easiest thing (of course) would be if somebody put together a flashable return-to-stock ROM. I've done it before for other devices, but haven't gotten around to doing it for the N7.

You didn't really say whether you were talking about (a) "exactly stock", or whether you wanted (b) a stock recovery put back in place, or whether you were (c) also trying to get the bootloader re-locked.

Case (c) can not be done using anything except fastboot (unless you previously recorded your bootloader while it was in a locked state), so I'll just assume that you are talking about (a) and (b), and that you are going to leave the bootloader unlocked - or you had already locked your bootloader after rooting and installing a custom recovery.

I see that you are trying (in another thread) to get somebody to make you a Nandroid backup of /system from a pure stock ROM. That would be one way of doing things (making sure that you get a grouper image if you have a grouper (WiFi) or a tilapia image if you have a tilapia N7 (3G) device). And while we are on the subject, I'll throw out another way you can do just that:

- The Google "factory" system.img files are in a sparse ext4 format that can not be directly mounted (e.g. using a loopback mount) in Linux. But, the Android toolkit includes a utility (for Linux) called "simg2img" (aka Sparse IMaGe to IMaGe) which can convert the sparse ext4 "system.img" image file to a regular ext4 format image file. This could be created, mounted via a loopback (using Linux, of course), and then a "tar" backup of the whole shebang is made. The TWRP and CWM nandroid backup images are just TAR archives. So If you grok what I am telling you, you have the power to create your own "Nandroid" /system backup file directly from the factory images. (Windoze-only doods need not apply.)

If you take this route, then you only need the recovery image plus the hacked "Nandroid" backup to "restore" directly to a pure stock device using only a custom recovery. (The recovery partition can be overwritten while the recovery is running because the partition is not "in use" after the boot completes - the recovery kernel and ramdisk live entirely in memory while they are running.)

But as I noted above, this will not re-lock the bootloader. It will put stock software back on the device, though.

If you intend to save anything off the device, do it before you begin this. The stock recovery "factory reset" procedure clears the ENTIRE /data partition including the pseudo-SD card area.

good luck
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HRandev:
how would you do the procedure

Thanks for the information. I do want my device (grouper WiFi) to go back to factory state (c - get rid of superSU and busybox). However I do have some questions regarding the creating nandroid backup by your method. As I have Ubuntu 12.10 installed, how would I do the procedure? And what do you mean by "mounted via a loopback"? Also is it only "system.img", what about "boot.img", "recovery.img" and "userdata.img"?

Is it possible that you could maybe give me the nandroid backup.tar as I am not much experienced, I would really appreciate it.:)

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Well if a (stock) factory reset erases the /data partition, userdata.img sorta doesn't matter, right?

boot.img and recovery.img are just binary blobs, so they could be taken from the factory image and used "as is" as part of your hand-assembled "Nandroid Backup"

That only leaves system.img - previously discussed.

$ sim2img google-factory-sparse-system.img ext4.system.img

$ sudo /bin/bash

# losetup /dev/loop0 ./ext4.system.img

# mkdir /mnt/Foo

# mount -t ext4 -o ro /dev/loop0 /mnt/Foo

# cd /mnt/Foo

# tar cf /home/newb/fakenandroidsystem.tar .

# cd /home/newb

# chown newb.newb fakenandroidsystem.tar

# umount /mnt/Foo

# rmdir /mnt/Foo

# losetup -d /dev/loop0

# exit

$

You will need to either find the sim2img utility as a prebuilt or download it and build it. You might need to fool with tar command-line options during the archive creation - I notice that the TWRP nandroid tar archives (system.emmc.ext4.win) seem to have absolute pathnames rooted at "/" rather than "/system". Don't know if this is significant or not.

good luck

PS it goes without saying that you need to be extremely careful about giving up root when doing this: imagine that you restore a bad /system image along with a stock recovery - you will have an unbootable device that can not be rooted without hardware repair of the USB. You might want to initially do a test restore or two without overwriting the custom recovery

with the stock version. And keep a flashable ROM on the SDcard, too. Once you have everything working correctly, only then should you restore the recovery back to stock.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HRandev:
Do I load the nandroid direct to my USB device (connect via OTG and then flash in TWRP) after converting the .img and from what path in ubuntu shell am I writing those commands?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaronpoweruser:
Sounds like you don't have adb set up there is a ppa to set it up for you Google for it. Then try to run adb devices and it should show up
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HRandev:
There is no problem with adb as it did work before (when USB port did work), it doesn't even show up in device manager(windows) anymore. I cannot connect with my device to my PC via USB as the port is faulty nor does it charge with the oem wall charger when system is one. I can only charge it when the system is completely turned off and then when I plug it in PC/wall charger via USB. However I can access my USB drive via OTG only in TWRP and this is only way I can flash/restore to stock system. I want to return it to stock to send it back to google (exchange).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] richardmlea:
I have noticed that if i enable javascript in the stock browser forum pages (xda and others) look bleached out (as if the page hasn't finished loading) the page works correctly but if i try to type the auto correction/prediction and spell checking dont work. Here a screenshot of what it looks like with java turned on.

Edit. As you can see from the tital auto correction/highlighting doesn't work. Tital shouls say "looks wrong".
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
That is a known problem with the old stock browser. You are still on 4.1.1 yes?

It is fixed in 4.2.1. I wonder if just the browser.apk from 4.2.1 would fix it for you?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] richardmlea:
when you say "old stock browser" what do you mean? it's the latest stock browser for the prime (v10.4.2.18-20121122).

If there is a 4.2.1 browser, say from the infinity, tf300 or from a similar droid, could I side load it with titanium backup?

Would the browser from a custom rom work?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
When I say old stock browser I am referring to yours yes. That is the 4.1.1 rom which is the latest Asus stock rom but a lot of us are on custom roms based off the TF300 rom which is 4.2.1.

I have attached the browser.apk from the 4.2.1 rom for you to try. You will probably want to back up your existing one in /system/app and then copy this one over it. Clear cache and dalvik and give it a go.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] richardmlea:
cheers, I will give it a whirl now and report back.

Do you have any ideas for other parts of custom roms that we can apply?

Sound mod maybe?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
Are you still locked then ?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] richardmlea:
Yes, me and probably hundreds of other too but its not by our choice as the. I have been stuck with a locked bootloader for nearly 16 months. I bought it in january last year, the first three month were normal (tf201 normal) since then it has spent most of the next 12 months touring europe, back and forth 5 times to asus service centre in the chzech republic, initally for a replacement screen (micro crack cause by dock, foc repair after a long battle) but 3 more times for badly fitted touchscreen and damage caused by asus's spanner monkies. The final rma was an attempt to repair the unknown network error when trying to unlock the bootloader (cause by the RMA).

I have now given up on ever unlocking the bootloader so the new root exploit is a big deal for meself and many others.:laugh:

I just tried the browser you gave me but it didnt work. I copied my browser apk to the sd card then copied your apk over mine in /system/apps but then browser icon disappeared from the app draw so no browser. When I restored the backup I made I still dont has the browser. If I try to install either apk the normal way I get a parsing package error message.

Like a spanner I didnt take a backup with titanium.

Whats the best way to restore this now?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
When you say restored the backup did you overwrite the one that was there or did you delete it at any point first.. If you just deleted the old one and copied a new one in the permissions are going to be wrong. Have a look at what the other apks are set to.

Have you tried restarting after copying it over also?

I never realized you wasn't unlocked when I started. That is why I said to wipe cache and dalvik after putting it there. I thought you would have had a recovery.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] richardmlea:
It was the permissions. I have now got the orignial browser back but the 4.2.1 browser wont work even when I set the permissions correctly. I did try restarting.

What about a titanium backup of the 4.2.1 browser? Could that work?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
I could try making a titanium backup for you I suppose but I wouldn't be able to back up data also for obvious reasons ;)

I'm watching TV at moment tho so it will have to wait till later.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] richardmlea:
Thanks, take you time. I am off to bed soon (working early) so I will come out and play tommorrow. ;P

Take it easy.

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] Jonny:
The amount of fail in this ROM is beyond words...

1. It is not "Real" Android 4.2.1, its 2.3.6

2. It is a 99% carbon kang of Hyperion (also some similarities with Nemesis but then the makers of those ROM's kanged from each other as well so that's not surprising)... Even your updater-script is basically hyperion but with the name changed, I mean seriously? How long does it take to make your own updater-script... oh wait I'll answer that seeing as I'm a developer... It takes about 5 mins.

I know you give credits to Carl in the OP but you say you used "Some" parts of his ROM, not the entire ROM as a base... Also I highly doubt you asked Carl's permission to do this (which is a requirement of XDA's rules).

3. The images in the OP are quite clearly from the Nemesis thread (yet more kanging).

ok so the problem is I tired to update to Jelly beam, i read about it here and i follow the steps. I make it to recovery and when i wanted to install files from zip it gave me error - Installation Aborted. I read somewhere that i have to update my Clockwork recovery so i tried and since then i can't do anything. When i press the power button i go to bootloader, from there if i chose Recovery the phone reboots and stucks on the colored X. When i type "adb devices" in cmd so i can try to apply some method list of devices is empty. I think it can be fixed if i make it to recovery but i can't. I looked a lot and maybe its because im mad or something but i can't find a solution, so if anyone can help me i will be very happy. I don't bother if im back to stock.
