[Nexus 7 (2013) General] jbwray:
Noticed this as well -- no image.

It is a complete file, with no image, just the install scripts.

Seems like it's almost a place holder -- could just be a flat-out mistake.

Can someone tell me if these images are complete resets? Or do they work just like the OTA update would?

Thanks.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] sfhub:
By default, they are complete resets but they can be modified to keep your user data with minimal effort by removing the -w flag.

They don't work like OTAs because they don't patch the file you have in place, but rather replace the /system partition with the new one. The difference being if you installed some extra files into /system, they would be preserved during an OTA update, but would be gone after a factory image.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Blockberd:
Those factory images will reset your device to factory is flashed as told by Google. There are, however, ways to avoid that if you have a stock Android prior to the version you want to flash.

---------- Post added at 10:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:40 PM ----------

The question is if someone has closer contact to someone at Google to inform them about that...
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] jbwray:
Great tip, thanks.

Awesome tip, thanks! Now that I have looked at the file, I think I have seen that before, but it really didn't register as I wasn't concentrating on doing an update like this... too antsy for 4.4 :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Blockberd:
You could also go ahead and flash each .img file (except userdata) in bootload with fastboot to the device. That will be my way once the damn factory image is properly uploaded. ;D
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] JustZaphod:
Well atleast the Binaries are up..

So it wont be long until we will be seeing new Custom Roms, and Kernels..

Those of us that were lucky to get the OTA dont need to worry about the factory images..

I created a TWRP clean stock backup of KRT16O if I need to go back to factory settings

This is NOT, I repeat

NOT

a flashable zip. Its a Zip of my TWRP backup, minus the Data partition..

Just unzip into your TWRP backup folder.. It will bring your Nexus 7 Flo directly to stock 4.4..(ROOTED) It is not an OTA.

Your SD Card will remain untouched

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] ATGAdmin:
If any of you want to flash just the update to 4.4, HERE is a link, with directions HERE
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] sfhub:
Apparently calling all bootloaders 3.14 is a mistake they have chosen to propagate from JSS15R when they called the 3.15 bootloader 3.14.

So basically the 4.01 bootloader is named bootloader 3.14 in the archive.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] yanksrock1000:
With the stock rom, can I just flash it using a custom recovery?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] sfhub:
You can flash the OTA (the OTA requires stock JSS15R to be installed) or the update.zip that scrosler put together using custom recovery.

You can't flash the factory image from google in this thread using custom recovery. It was meant to be flashed using fastboot and with your tablet in bootloader.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] jbwray:
Update images now available.

EDIT ** I looked at the wrong image... nothing has changed ** please delete.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] mike390:
I can't decide between the two of these, anyone who owns these let me know what you think of the protection they offer.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] firemedic1343:
I bought both. They marked them as shipped a week before they actually shipped them. I still haven't received them.

So, to me, they offer the same level of protection, which is zero.

For others, the buttons stick and cause random reboots. They subsequently have to take the cases off, which leads to zero protection.

My answer, is to buy from another company. Maybe Ringke, those are popular. So is Acase.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] grndc2gsr:
Amazon.com: Spigen Google Nexus 5 Case Slim [Slim Armor] [Infinity White] Air Cushioned Protective Case with Dual Layer for Nexus 5 - Infinity White

The Slim Armor has a lot of protection. The inside of the back cover has raised cushions. The sides of the case are very large and feel almost like foam. I think this case would hold up very well if dropped.

Even still works with a wireless charger. I'm using the Nokia DT-900 here.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] speed_demon_15:
Two nights ago I decided to update my TWRP recovery to the latest version. Using GooManager method didn't work and couldn't found image. So I did it using the terminal way and it worked.

While at it I decided to flash the latest Carbon ROM. Which was all successful but when I was using the ROM, the phone crashed. So I rebooted. But then it won't go past the 'Samsung S3' screen. So I went back to recovery and realized that all my files /boot, /data, all of it was deleted as well as my internal storage.

The current work around I have at the moment is reformatting my internal storage and it would work but it crashed and deleted all my files again.

I don't want to reflash and reformat every 12 hours. So I need a solution to this. Thanks for all the help.

[General Questions and Answers] warrenm:
I have a Galaxy Y Duos GT-S6102 that I believe is Soft Bricked. My son attempted to install a different rom to the phone, he thinks he selected the incorrect rom then installed. I am now trying to get the thing operational again.

I have installed a stock rom, plus several setup's but when you reboot it gets to Galaxy screen then goes no further, will not shut down unless the battery is removed. I have used Odin to flash the phone, it connects installs, I get a PASS from Odin, then phone screen shows that it has failed. I've red through lots of threads, over the last week & I now need help. It just appears that something is missing or incorrectly installed.

Very very very long shot question here but anyway to get a sense rom on the note 3? Developer unlocked bootloader of course. I know there was a team sense4all that was porting sense 4 to samsung devices but havent heard or seen a thing about them anytime recently. Anybody know what it would take or even if it is possible to get sense running on a touchwiz device like note 3?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pkd600:
It could potentially be possible but not without a LOT of development work. I have seen attempts in the past but I seem to remember them being riddled with problems. I would say its pretty doubtful that Sense will ever come to the Note 3.

[One (M7) Android Development] crushalot:
This tool will allow you remove the Tampered flag from your bootloader. It will also allow you to easily Lock and Unlock your Bootloader directly from recovery.

No root required since it is run in recovery, however you still must be S-OFF.

Before using this tool you need to be sure you are using the latest version of recovery as the M7 U/UL TWRP requires at least version 2.6.3.3 for this package to work. The current downloads for both CWM and TWRP can found below:

The latest M7 U/UL TWRP can be downloaded HERE.

The latest M7 U/UL CWM can be downloaded HERE.

***[UPDATE] - It seems that the latest TWRP 2.6.3.3 has been pulled due to some minor issues. If your TWRP version doesn't work please use CWM for now until a updated TWRP release is made.

This will work for Verizon and Sprint as well, however they have different versions of these recoveries, so please make sure you are using the correct recovery for your device.

Saying this again in case you missed it: YOU MUST BE S-OFF!

To use the tool simply copy the zip file to your phone and then boot to your custom recovery and choose install. Then browse to where you copied the file and select it. The aroma installer will begin. Follow the steps outlined in the pictures below and choose the options you want to run.

Now you can just keep this file on your phone and Lock and Unlock at anytime without a PC and without losing data.

***Credits***

S-trace for originally discovering the location of the lock status flag. See this thread.

scotty1223 for his ADB shell commands. Threads HERE and HERE. Scotty was also very helpful to me in understanding some of the default values.

Just to be clear I did not just copy and paste scotty1223's commands into a aroma installer. The echo command can be problematic in aroma, so I developed original code for all four commands. The end result is the same in that the data in the partitions is changed as needed.

***Troubleshooting***

If the installer stays on this screen fore more than a few seconds, then it means you need to delete/format cache. This can be done within both recoveries. You may need to reboot recovery after clearing cache and begin the installer again. This seems to happen more on CWM than TWRP.

If the installer runs but your bootloader doesn't change, it is proably one of these things:

You are not S-Off

You do not have the latest version of recovery (I recommend TWRP)

Quick question (if you have time): why do we need latest recovery? what would happen on an older recovery?
[One (M7) Android Development] Evil-Dragon:
Will this work on Rumrunners custom HBOOT or is a stock HBOOT only recommended?
[One (M7) Android Development] crushalot:
On older recoveries, the worst that could happen is that it may not work. It won't hurt to try.

The reason you need an updated recovery is because on TWRP before version 2.6.3.3 the partition wasn't writable so the actions didn't work. Older CWM should be ok but I only tested the latest.
[One (M7) Android Development] crushalot:
It will work on any firmware. Hboot is not touched. This only modifies partitions mmcblk0p3 and mmcblk0p7.

[One (M7) Android Development] DaringDomino3s:
Awesome that this can be done fron recovery, let alone in an Aroma install! Looks good! :good:

But I am having trouble seeing the use for me personally? Is this so that Ican lock my botloader and download Official OTAs (if thats required)? Or is this just something in case I have to send it off for service?

Or am I missing something here?:confused:
[One (M7) Android Development] juanshop:
. Warranty purposes. Or for example in my case if I decided to upgrade my phone with jump, I can make everything look like never even happened. It's quite useful.
[One (M7) Android Development] crushalot:
Yeah, seems like it was pulled because the charging while in recovery doesn't work correctly.

It still works for everything else. Not sure if they will just re-release 2.6.3.3 when fixed or make a new version.

I will update the link and info in the OP.

Thanks
[One (M7) Android Development] crushalot:
Also sometimes a locked bootloader is needed for promotions like the 25 GB of Google Drive space.

[One (M7) Android Development] crushalot:
No, my tool doesn't wipe data during a lock or unlock.

It directly modifies the partitions that conatin the bootloader status, without touching /data or /system

[One (M7) Android Development] crushalot:
More than likely it is because you are not running TWRP 2.6.3.3. Since I have posted this tool, they have pulled that version leaving 2.6.3.0 the most current version on the website. So until they place 2.6.3.3 back up you will have to use CWM in order to use this.
[One (M7) Android Development] joho5:
You are correct... I don't have 2.6.3.3....i have 2.6.3.0 why was it pulled?
[One (M7) Android Development] crushalot:
A few minor issues. Charging in recovery didn't work. Some new 4.4 rom's wouldn't flash correctly.

Non of them effected me and I am using that version fine.

I'm sure they will post an updated version soon.

The older versions of TWRP don't allow write access to the partitions we need for this to work but CWM did. All future releases of TWRP should work as they now allow writing to that partition, but they have to fix the other issues.
[One (M7) Android Development] nkk71:
Hi crushalot, just wanted to confirm the LOCKED / UNLOCKED works with CWM 6.0.3.2; couldnt try tampered, as it's already removed (maybe you wanna add a "set TAMPERED" option ;))

Hey crushalot, i got a serious problem. I am soff and locked the BL with this tool. Next i updated firmware to 3.63.707.3 and flashed your stock rom 3.63.707.3 with stock recovery. Now i cant flash twrp and have no root access and bootloader is locked. Also i do not have adb acees in bootloader but adb is working fine while booted in rom. Could you make your RUU for this rom with twrp or is there a way to unlock bootloader or gain root access with locked bootloader. I am still SOFF Thanks.
[One (M7) Android Development] DaringDomino3s:
Twerp 2.6.3.3 is bunk? If I go back to the older twrps I won't be able to flash any 4.4 roms tho.

How bad is the issue with it? I have a recovery back up for 2.6.3.2 & 2.6.3.3, but I'm tiring of CWM'S interface, even touch is inefficient (to me)

[MENTION=4139782]crushalot[/MENTION] Thanks, man, I wondered why I couldn't get it, I thought it was because of the Rom I was using..this just gained more value.
[One (M7) Android Development] crushalot:
Yes, it should work in that version of CWM.

I don't think I will add the option to trigger the Tampered flag especially because the default value is different for a few of the phone variants. The value to clear the flag is the same on all. This adb shell command can be used to bring back the flag on M7 U/UL devices:

echo -ne '\x02' | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7 bs=1 seek=4265988
[One (M7) Android Development] crushalot:
Since your bootloader is locked you can't flash a custom recovery to replace stock. You should be able to boot into your phones OS and then use this adb shell command to unlock your bootloader:

echo -ne '\x00\x00\x00\x00' | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=1 seek=33796

You will need root for this, so try the links on this thread for SU

See this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=46301380

If you can't get SU to use the echo command, you will have to get a new token from htcdev and unlock again the original way.
[One (M7) Android Development] crushalot:
I'm still using 2.6.3.3 just fine. I also dislike the CWM interface.

The only 2 issues I have noticed is that the phone doesn't charge when in recovery and occasionally after flashing some packages rather than going back to the recovery screen the screen just goes black and you have to hold all 3 buttons to reboot. The flashes all work fine.
[One (M7) Android Development] DaringDomino3s:
