Hi,
I am having a connectivity issue through ADB and this cannot connect through USB to flash. wondering if there is a way to revert to stock and potentially unroot through one of the fast boot options?
Use the boot options to go into android recovery, then use the 'factory reset' option. Should delete everything back to factory settings.
Do you have to unroot for that?

I'm having an issue with recovery. I re-flashed back to stock, and when I tried re-rooting my phone, it took me back to stock recovery which for some strange reason wont let me select anything with the power button. Is there guide to flash to image manually using adb? Or any way to re-root the phone? One-click root wont work since the recovery isn't letting me select anything. I'm stuck.
Nevermind. I went ahead and was able to do a master reset and go back to stock with ODIN3.
Hello all, I just had a quick questions for those of you who have unlocked / rooted your Nexus 10 and installed the factory image:
1. Did you all use the toolkit in the Android Dev Forum for Nexus 10 to achieve the root?
2. Once you flashed a custom recovery was installing the factory image as simple as downloading the zip from google (https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#mantaray) and then flashing it via recovery and rebooting AFTER you unlock the bootloader etc?
I was under the impression that once you Unlock / Root, you have no OS on your device, is this correct? Or can I root and Android 4.2.1 will still be there, albeit completely wiped of my user data from before.
Thanks for the help, don't wanna get started on this until I know what I'm doing! Don't want a $400 makeshift frisbee disk
You can achieve root in a number of ways including flashing the SuperSU zip found in the How-to Root thread(s) or flashing a ROM with root already built in through the custom recovery.
Unlocking the device does not usually (is not supposed to) remove the OS but it does wipe data back to factory default. There has been, however, an issue with 4.2 on the N10 that causes it not to boot until you go back into Recovery and either factory reset there again or flash the stock image from Google.

Thanks! I think I will go through with using the toolkit tonight and see if I can get it to boot into the factory image. Glad that it sticks around (hopefully) if not I can just flash 4.2 from google via TWRP...thats what I needed to know
So really all I need to root is this:
1. fastboot oem unlock
2. fastboot flash recovery [recovery.img]
3. Boot into recovery
4. Flash SuperSU.zip? --- Where can I download SuperSU.zip ?
5. Wipe Cache / Factory Reset via TWRP wipe data
6. Reboot
7. Profit?
I won't use the toolkit if I don't have to since I am familiar with some fastboot stuff

Sounds like you know enough to do it without resorting to a toolkit, yeah. This zip file from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1997227 is one place to get fastboot drivers and the SuperSU.

I'd recommend (although it may not be necessary) making sure your devices fully boots after unlocking and wiping before going back to recovery to flash SU. Again, this is just because of the unlock boot loop issue that didn't happen on pre-4.2 nexus devices like the Galaxy Nexus.

I just finished successfully rooting...got hung up after I unlocked the bootloader and flashing TWRP but all I had to do was Format the Data and wipe cache after to successfully boot into the OS. After that I was able to load SuperSU to my SDcard and then flashed it, reboot, did root-checker and I'm all good! Thought I was screwed there for a sec cuz I didn't pre-load SuperSU or the factory image in-case it hit the fan and I wasn't able to mount my SDcard storage via TWRP...Figured it all out though thanks for the help! Glad I was able to do it without the tool-kit!
Hi all!!
On my Nexus 7 2012 (rooted) I'm running android 4.3 rom and I'm trying to manually update it to the new 4.4. It's not letting me flash the update because I changed the boot animation, and (of course) I forgot to backup the stock animation before adding the new one. I downloaded the stock "X" animation from someone and replaced the old one with the stock animation, but it still comes up with an error. Is there any way I can get it back to it's unaltered state so the update won't flag it as a problem? Also, if that's the only thing I altered and I can get it back to normal, can I just wait for the OTA update?
Other info:
Running M-Kernel
Using TWRP
Thanks!!
Same here
Download the factory image for 4.4 and flash it over adb, can't go wrong with that. Only thing is you'll have to re-root and reflash TWRP after that.

+1 on flashing the factory image via ADB - easy enough to re-install Custom Recovery & then Root by pushing SU v1.69
Otherwise, if running TWRP - look here, download the zip file and flash it from Recovery (first, full wipe - cache, dalvik & factory reset) - it will bring you to KitKat 4.4 (KRT16O)
There is a minor update (1.4MB in size) to KRT16S - flash it next once it's downloaded, and, then, reinstall TWRP and then root it.
Setup tablet, restore google account & customize home screen - enjoy.
Backup important files & data first, as always.
Hi,
After doing some unlocking, installing recovery then rooting. I was able to complete root process but i had an issue where my sim cards were not detected. Foolish me, i tried to do a factory reset in the settings and it turns out that my system was not recovered back. Now, it is looping on TWRP and can't boot back to system. Not sure what to do next...
Done fixing: i flash back the original recovery. Stock recovery automatically proceed with "erasing" then it autoreboots. Hope this help others encountering the same problem. To prevent this, just don't do factory reset via system setting when having custom recovery.

hello, the same thing happen to my phone and i want to ask where can i get the original recovery file?
Hey, my S8 is currently running a custom rom and works perfectly fine..however I want to reset my phone back to its original state so I can update to oreo then root my phone again.
Would it be safe to just goto settings and select factory reset as I don't have access to twrp anymore or any root apps or would I need to use odin and flash a stock image?
Thanks for your time!
