[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SCOTTYxDUCATI:
I'm kind of at a lose with my tablet right now. I at one point did have it rooted and running clockwork for my recovery, everything was working perfectly. But as of right now I don't believe my device is rooted anymore. I did download the root checker app and it says that I am no longer rooted, which is fine but when I boot up my device I still have the unlocked padlock logo under the Google logo so I am wondering if I just have to do the OEM Lock? Or if possible, could I just unroot and reflash stock again then do the lock just to be safe or will that mess it up? not sure need some help! I am also getting the ADB device not found error with the toolkit. IDK how to fix it ive tried everything.

My guess is that my device is unrooted but still unlocked too so to get it back to normal all I have to do is the OEM Lock but I can't seem to get the ToolKit to read my device. I keep getting ADB device not found.

What I want to do is just completely restore it to as it was out of the box running stock android and unrooted. I pretty much just want to completely start over. I do have the Nexus Toolkit so could I just do the unroot and restore feature? I just don't want to brick my device. Looking for a little help on how I can get my device back to stock and completely unrooted.

I am running android 4.3 (The stock rom)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] issak42:
The padlock means that the bootloader is unlocked. It has nothing to do with root. I don't think anything changes if you re-lock it either.

If you're running stock and if you're not rooted anymore (how did this happen anyway?) just use the factory reset on your tablet, it's the same thing.

Use the superuser app (unless that one is gone? in this case just reinstall it from the play store) to unroot the device, and factory reset it then.

Are you using Windows 8? There are issues with fastboot/flashmode on W8, there is no fix, you have to use W7 or something else
[General Questions and Answers] davechampion:
Good Afternoon

The other day I was having an issue with my Nexus 7 so I inadvertently went into TWRP on my device and wiped everything including the OS so when it starts up I just get the Google screen with the unlocked padlock on it.

I have tried several things so far

I have downloaded Nexus root Toolkit 1.7.3 and several stock images, I choose the option to flash stock + Unroot but it doesn't seem to do anything I just get the following screen as per attached screenshot, from looking around it looks like it should run something before I get that screen but nothing happens.

I really don't know where to go from here I have tried so many different things but just don't seem to be getting anywhere, any help would be soooooooo much appreciated, I can’t even send it back as I have unlocked it and I believe that voids the warranty.

I have managed to get into the TWRP section by choosing the custom recovery in the advanced section menu but when it loads up it asks me for a password on my Nexus and the password I had it keeps on saying password failed.

Is there anything I can do, I have literally spent hours searching around and I cant seem to get anything to work, as I say I have inadvertently wiped everything!!!!!!:crying:
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 5525469:
Try reflashing TWRP first, then reply if you still have the password problem. We can work from there. Remember, you have a N7 - nexus devices are practically unbrickable (if you know what I mean) ;)

Thanks for that will give it a try later.

I have also come across the website below

forums.androidcentral.com/google-nexus-7-2012-rooting-roms-hacks/191477-guide-nexus-7-factory-image-restore.

It gives a guide on how to reinstall the stock software, the only thing that I can see they have that I dont are a few files and I dont know where you get them from.

the files in the guide are

Bootloader-Grouper 3.34

Flash-all.sh

Flash-Base.sh

The image file I am fine with as I downloaded that from the site below.

Have you used 7z to unpack the files? Google puts all the files within an archive which is within another archive. In case you aren't able to successfully follow your guide, let me know and I will post steps. And btw, using CMD is actually quite easy once you get used to it... You just need to put in the effort! :good:

[GUIDE] How to install/reinstall/flash stock Nexus 7 Image from Google

I just saw your other thread mate! Seems like you're really worried about your device. And so I thought I'll give you step by step instructions;

1) Install, then open and navigate 7-zip to the location where you have the factory image file downloaded from google with the ".tgz" extension.

2) Unpack the .tgz file by selecting it and clicking extract (with the big blue negative sign).

3) Now, navigate to the extracted folder, you will see another file with the extension ".tar"

4) Repeat step 2 for the ".tar" file.

5) Now open this folder using windows. You should see the following files in your directory;

6) From here, you can either follow the instructions on the webpage you have or follow these instruction (using CMD and fastboot);

* Remember, after doing this you will not have any files/setting left on your N7.

1) Boot your N7 into bootloader.

2) Open cmd.exe and enter the following commands;

3) cd "put here without quatation marks, the directory of where the .img files are" (the last pic above)

4) fastboot devices (note: after entering this command your device should be displayed below)

5) fastboot erase boot

6) fastboot erase system

7) fastboot erase recovery

Perform steps 8 & 9 only if you have the 3G version of the N7:

8) fastboot erase radio

9) fastboot flash radio "put here without the quotation marks, the FULL name of a file that will look similar to this: radio-razor-m9615a-cefwmazm-2.0.1700.84.img"

10) fastboot update -w image-razor-jss15q.zip

11) fastboot reboot

Remember, because you have freshly flashed your N7, it will take little longer than usual to boot up.

​
[General Questions and Answers] davechampion:
Thank You!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you so much you are a LEGEND - I am all up and running again, just a quick question I re flashed the standard stock file which was listed as JSS15J (it wasn’t on the official factory image website) but my Nexus root toolkit seems to be playing ball after a re install, can I flash a later version over what I have without causing issues as I assume they have bug fixes.

I am unable to do an OTA update as I am in an unlocked state.

I have seen online that you can use the following code in CMD to flash newer factory images without wiping data, Is this correct?

here is the code they suggest to use

fastboot update <Filename>.zip

I suppose you could back up all data first and then re flash.

Again a massive thank you for all you help:victory:
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 5525469:
[GUIDE] Reinstall/Update Android without loosing your Userdata (media Directory)

I'm glad to be of assistance. If you want to update your rom without loosing your data, I recommend you follow these steps (however, there is a catch: read the second last paragraph);

1) Boot into TWRP and wipe everything except "Internal Storage".

Reboot into bootloader and erase the following using CMD:

2) fastboot erase system

3) fastboot erase boot

4) Now unpack the <filename>.zip file. You will find that there are a multitude of <filename>.img files in there.

Flash two of the files named system.img and boot.img (this contains the Kernel) using CMD (remember CMD must be open in the folder containing these files):

2) fastboot flash system system.img

3) fastboot flash boot boot.img

And the other file (again is if you have the mobile version of the N7), is to flash the radio as given in my previous instructions (remember to erase radio first before flashing it).
​

When you're done, you will have updated your N7 without losing your data (i.e. the files you see when you plug your N7 to the computer). However, following this method, you will not retain any Apps or settings (remember: Backing up apps and restoring them to a different ROM is a BAD idea). I have to say also that given you cannot use OTA, I am not aware of any other method that will keep your apps and settings untouched. I may be wrong, and if I am please do let me know. :good:

Finally as a personal note, I wouldn't flash anything to a Nexus but the latest stock files provided from Google until they stop providing updates to that particular device. :cowboy:

I have a couple more questions.

1.) I have the brick bug, right?

2.) Flashing a safe kernel and then restoring the backup won't help either I presume?

3.) Would flashing the PIT file from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26428986&postcount=1 solve my problem?

thx in advance

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi everyone :)

first of all, this is my first post so if i posted in the wrong section i am sorry

now here's my problem:

i have a Galaxy S2 (GT-I9100) with rooted stock ICS 4.0.4. I wanted to restore a backup which I created using the Nandroid Backup app on the same day. So i went into recovery mode, flashed a temporary CWM (from this thread http://http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2327472) then restored the backup from my SD card. if i remember correctly, if the restoration of the backup was succesful the phone should stay in CWM. In my case the screen went black for a few seconds then it looked like it would boot. However it just got stuck showing the Samsung logo with model number, so Samsung Galaxy S II GT-I9100.

I can still enter recovery and download mode. I did a factory reset, wiped cache partition and even re-flashed the stock ROM using odin but to no avail. After flashing the ROM, it didn't work so i did a factory reset again. It still got stuck on the logo so i went into recovery again. In recovery mode it says "E: failed to mount /sytsem (invalid arguement)". i could solve that problem by reflashing the ROM though.

does anybody know what caused this and even more imortantly, how to solve my issue?

On a side note, could be relevant, my phone just froze all of a sudden some times in the past months. i had to reboot my phone everytime it froze

Thx in advance

EDIT: ok, i've re-flashed the ROM again with odin. at first there is the green droid and the blue loading bar right below, but after a few seconds the screen goes black again and it tries to boot and gets stuck. I pulled battery, reinserted it and went into recovery, wiped cache. when i select "reboot" from the menu it says "E: failed to mount /sytsem (invalid arguement)"

Edit2: after flashing the ROM i get this "E: failed to mount /data (invalid arguement)" when rebooting over recovery. I've found a thread where it says i need to flash the dbdata.rfs.tar using odin. i will try that now

Edit3: when i try to flash the file i get a "NAND write start" "fail" error. I've been to a store that will take care of my problem.
