[Q] Return to stock, have image files - Acer Iconia A500

I have my origional boot.img, flexrom.img and system.img.
How would I go about restoring them to the system if I so choose to?
Thanks guys.

Here you go all the instructions you should need plus an app that can help.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1101859
I made this thread weeks ago to help people when the first update had hit and people were screwed. Due to deleting system apps and so forth

Got it... what exactly is the flexrom.img for, I don't see that in any of the instructions.

When you follow my instructions the flexrom is not needed it is in most of the update.zip folders. Like going from 1.104 - 1.114 no flexrom needed but when we got to 3.1 they will build a new flexrom.

[REF] [NS4G] Stock ROMs | How To Root/Unroot | OTA Files & Images

Why another post for stock files? Well for a few reasons, mainly the lack of quality found amongst the files in similar threads on the web. When I got my Nexus S 4G I took a look around the web, downloaded the stock roms that were floating around and noticed they were very flawed. The update scripts used in them were poorly done, seem to be the result of copy and pasting many update scripts together. The boot.imgs were also flawed, some of them even 8mbs in size, the stock boot.img is 2.8mb. After running them through one of my scripts, I also noticed many apps were not even zipaligned. Needless to say I did not flash these files. I took it upon myself to remake all these files. Stock files are essential to a development phone and can save many people in a sticky situation. Also, I have noticed that the official stock software images have not been released yet, so I went ahead and uploaded those for you all as well. These images include radio, boot, recovery, system, userdata, and bootloader. Please note, this post is not intended to bash anyone's work. I am simply trying to provide much needed files to the community. If you have any questions feel free to ask. Also, I may forget to keep this post updated so please check the downloads page on my website as it will always be maintained.

My work provided me with the Nexus S 4G. I still use my OG Droid and will continue to develop for it. I have successfully built an entire AOSP ROM for the Nexus S 4G and am running it now, not sure what I will release for this device though seeing as how it is for work. Time will tell...right now I am really busy though.
Yea, I know the stuff I posted is crap I am not a dev and say that in the threads on several occasions. I am very, very glad you posted this, I will post a HUGE link in my thread to this also. Look forward to the awesomeness you will bring to this phone

Really hope I didn't offend anyone, that was not my intentions. Having said that the only way to learn is to try to put things together yourself, compare them to others, etc. I was there not long ago. Keep it up and soon you will know more than you imagined.
You plan on making a ROM for the NS4G? You also mentioned that the ROM's that were out there were not zipaligned. Is the stock version posted above zipaligned?

I for one would be very grateful if you made us a ROM for the NS4G.
well thanks for this, you are correct on many points except one.. the stock images were released but most people had to work to get them
You are my HERO! Thx man
Looks like the GRJ06D file did not upload right, I will drive to the library tomorrow and reupload. I live in the country where there is no internet lol.

Please disregard this... I figured it out after some trial and error. Was able to flash recovery. One more question... Does this receovery stick or no? I know when I had my epic and had quickboot it would not allow to boot into recovery. thx again for your hard work on this. After reading the 100+ methods of rooting I was pleased to see this. Thx again

How to remove CWM please?

Hi
I'm going to update my a500 to 3.1
I have unrootedmy device but how to remove CWM completly????
Please help
Why don't just update via CWM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154492
1) re root your device
2) go into acer recovery installer and reflash to the backed up recovery (or do the stock recovery for your version)
3) de root.
I had to do this to get my update to work.
Do you know where can I find stock recovery for my version?
I have Acer_A500_1.139.05_COM_GEN1
thank you!

When i installed ARI, it backed up my current recovery. When i went back into ARI, my old recovery was the first option. Sorry, explanation sucks, i don't have screenshots for you. I know there are threads with most of the software/firmware elements of most of the different versions, maybe do some digging? This would be the best place to start: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1126364
Look in system/etc for a filed called install-recovery.sh. if its there change its permission from 444 to 544. Then reboot normally. It'll overwrite cwm with your stock recovery.

Hi Euclid, are you able to post a copy of that install-recovery.sh file? I don't seem to have it in my system/bin anymore
...That is assuming the file is not unique to each device??
I'm thinking the reason my OTA update wouldnt install is because i dont have the stock recovery menu.
Thanks!
I really don't get why everyone is spazzing over this... If you've already taken the steps to root and install CWM in the first place, why not just install the stock 3.1 image that's been provided in the dev section? It's 100% stock, no need to wait for Acer to stop twiddling their dangly bits...
Floatingfatman, that is exactly what I did, and it worked perfectly. Good advise!

Yeah thats what i ended up doing to update it to 3.1.
Reason i want it back to stock is that i couldnt update via OTA at all (downloads fine but install fails at ~20% with the ! in a red triangle).
I was hoping by restoring it to stock the OTA would work, and so any future updates could also be done via OTA as opposed to finding a workaround each time.
Other than that, it's working just fine for now.

I don't understand 'change permission from 444 to 544'. Root Manager lets me choose between, 'Read, Write or Execute'. Could you please elaborate?

OTA2 US Released

OTA2 US was released today. Here is the update.
Would it be possible to make a version that can be flashed in CWM that keeps root and doesn't do the system verification?
Would you provide the full name of the update, please? I'm trying to save it properly for future reference. Thanks.

I don't know the full name, it downloaded as update.zip on my TpT.
Okay, usually it sits in the download folder with its full name as the file name. Thanks anyway.
agree CWR removal
or, at least a way to restore the factory recovery partition, because following the steps in the CWM thread doesn't work....hitting vol+ or even adb reboot recovery, will not take you to the recovery area after you use the dd if=/recovery-from-boot.p
it places a VERY tiny file in the recovery partition and in no way restores it to the factory functionality.
Seems to be this one from here:
http://download.lenovo.com/slates/think/tablet1
ThinkPadTablet_A310_02_0039_0086_US.zip
Thanks, but I'm not finding any US files there, only WE. If your post is only for the file name, thanks, that does help.

Perfect. Thanks.

KRT16O Factory Image now available

For Both Flo/Deb
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#razorkrt16o
It looks like they are currently uploading the Flo version at this time of posting, but both Stock 4.4 Images are up..
I looked around to see if anyone who have already posted this.. if so please feel free to merge or delete this Post
Finally! I'm going to flash this on both my flo and mako. Then, along with my hammerhead, I'll have KitKats everywhere!
Was going to post this too. Just my luck that they release it the day that I'll be out all night and won't be able to update until the weekend. Maybe I'll get the OTA before then.
Looks like the file for flo is corrupt. It is always only 835 bytes. MD5 hash seems to be taken from the version on the server... So don't even waste time in x-checking them just yet.
The update for mako seems to be fine, though.

It isn't a problem with the upload.
It is a problem with WHAT was uploaded.
The file that was uploaded matches the sha1 hash code.
It unpacks fine.
Unfortunately it has nothing except the flash batch files/shell scripts.
Also the batch file tries to flash bootloader 3.14, which is wrong. The bootloader should be 4.01. It does however try to flash the krt16o rom, which means someone edited the file, just didn't do a good job.
Noticed this as well -- no image.

Thanks.

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.

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.

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

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
https://www.dropbox.com/s/mqczh3q59lydga9/2013-11-13--06-14-08 KRT16O.TWRP.zip
If any of you want to flash just the update to 4.4, HERE is a link, with directions HERE

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.
With the stock rom, can I just flash it using a custom recovery?

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.

For both locked and unlocked bootloaders
1. Place the downloaded file in sdcard
2. Don't rename the file, it should be exactly as it is
3. Rooted users make sure you're as close to stock as possible
4. Go to settings-> about-> system updates
5. It will prompt to install the update
Download XT1052 India 4.4.4 OTA

You already installed it? Once you install it, the file is erased - forever. All OTAs are this way. You MUST extract it before you install it.

Yes, un-root, and remove all traces of having rooted. That includes any changes done to your System Files which Xposed might have done. You will have to flash the stock recovery too.

No, my lack of response was because of the reading I was doing here on XDA as why I wasn't seeing the OTA zip file under cache. Then I realized that I did not download the OTA, I thought that it was downloaded already as I had data on and it was just asking me to whether it should install or not.
Now I downloaded the OTA, and it's there under cache folder, and now at a safe place on my desktop.
I would never install it on my phone without flashing back stock ROM again anyway. I like to do things fresh.

Need to install ExDialer as usual. Will see if there's really something done with the camera, can't take any meaningful photos at 3:30 in the morning :laugh:
Just one thing, as I have taken the OTA after a fresh install of stock ROM, now I don't need to format it again from recovery right?
There is already a thread for the 4.4.4 rollout here, please use it instead of having two similar discussions going on in 2 separate threads. Thanks
