Another ArchiKitchen project. But first...

Given that, this ROM, is PURE STOCK, with root (if you choose that option). This is here to save your butt because you de-bloated some apps, or otherwise bricked your tab and forgot to make a nandroid first. This will bring you back to the latest version (3.1.0.42).

Please NOTE: This ROM is only designed for the WW SKU only! If you have a different SKU, and are that desperate, find another way first!

Because this is untouched stock, everything should work. Please recognize I have not tested this myself, as I have not found the need to use it (and the alternatives - that is, the ways to get out of it if it fails - are limited). So, if anyone finds their way to have to use this, please continue to note any success or failure, and any considerations in the comments - be it this thread, or the Q&A thread.

DOWNLOAD:

I am offering two versions these days (the old two had an updater-binary incompatible for the CWM provided) - a slightly modified version (built by the "bb" command in ArchiKitchen, accepting all the prompts - so permissions and symlinks are redone), and the other with the same but with root and SuperSU tacked on in the updater-script. If you are wondering which version to use, the former has been tested (at least once), but the latter is more straightforward. :cowboy:

K00L_Back_To_Stock_Updater-Binary.zip (MD5: 47ed2e94221c1d70bee17f39fd62bdff)

K00L_Back_To_Stock_With-SuperSU.zip (MD5: e78b6a4022a4f707e4d54f9440761be4)

INSTRUCTIONS:

Download ROM above

Download SuperSU update zip (optional, if you want root and using the first zip)

Connect your tab to the PC with appropriate adb, fastboot, and drivers available

If your device is bricked, enter fastboot and unlock bootloader with these instructions (or skip this part for post #3 instructions instead)

Download CWM to your PC (since the aforementioned link is down, post #62 has a source, and now I do as well)

Having completed that, reboot into fastboot and issue the following commands (or use the method in post #3):

fastboot flash recovery recovery_cwm.img
fastboot flash misc misc_reboot-recovery.img
fastboot reboot

Your tab will reboot into CWM

Push file(s) to your SD card ("adb push K00L_Back_To_Stock.zip /sdcard/" )

Nandroid/Back up broken device (optional, but highly recommended)

Wipe cache and data/factory reset (especially if you used XPosed - you can try dirty flashing, but from what I hear the data partition gets bunged after flashing anyway - thinks it is encrypted - so you are better off with the previous step and then salvaging from there)

Install ROM

Wipe Dalvik cache

Reboot

Enjoy!
