how do you flash the factory image? I wanna learn how.
This is a question, which belongs in the Q/A section
But to answer simple go to the site you download the factory images from....google....
And read the instructions....
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
The zips even include instructions in them. And also inckude a flash-all script
Thanks dude. I just knew I'll get a quicker response in this section.
Sorry next time il just ignore misplaced questions...

first thing you would need to do is install the drivers!
-download and unzip the folder, take out the superuser.zip and put it on your phone's memory, put the nexus folder in your computer's C: drive
-turn on usb debugging and connect your phone to the computer
-open the command prompt type the following:
cd\
cd c:\nexus\
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem unlock
it will ask you to select yes or no (select yes with the power button) and continue with the command prompt as follow:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
it will install the recovery on your phone, then
-select recovery in the bootloader menu
-select install zip from sdcard
-select choose zip from sdcard
then find the superuser.zip file and select yes and you're done!

everyone of this rooting guides is placed in the general section, you're not developing anything, so yes, you're in the wrong section.

same here, i saw a few guides in the development site that's why i posted it there!
Not to a ass or anything
But did you think about it first? A guide on how to root a year and a half old nexus device of all devices. On a place like xda of all places. Its not that we don't appreciate you trying to help...its just dude its so well documented.....

i'm just posting the easiest way to root this year and a half old device which is the same device you have (i'm guessing) otherwise you wouldn't be in this section.
so i had jwr66v rooted with superSU twrp cmw 6.035 or whast ever.
now i have updated to ******y and i tried to flash a ROM in in CWM but it did nothing. at all. i rebooted into recovery only to get a droid on his back with a red ! coming out his belly. um problem here. i opened super Su and it said i need to reroot because i have installed 4.3
how can i reroot if i can't access recovery.
tried using toolkit to reroot (un root to stock first) but it froze now having this problem: post #455
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45162727&posted=1#post45162727
anyone?
Just flash recovery from cmd/terminal using fastboot.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
never used it. details would be nice.
Want details? There are stickies and tutorials for a reason. Lemme guess, you used a toolkit to root it the first time?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
sure I'll follow one of your tutorials. most of the time written as if we know every detail about android development jargon. oh and most tuts have missing details that usually means moderate technical knowledge people have to make assumptions when following those instructions. another issue I'm funding with following "stickies" is because there are so many different ways to update and so many different versions of root tools made by many different clever developers. sometimes they don't all work together. most of the time i will follow some developers half thrown together set of instructions only to have to redo the instructions 3 of 4 times because of the reasons all mentioned above.
short response to your reply. i followed a simple tutorial put up by a developer and most likely used a tool kit. now i have issues. rather then spend countless hours hunting for else who has had the same problem and actually posted it, i decided to ask the question so someone like yourself that enjoys spending hours each night balls deep in code can give me a simple link or basic set of instructions so i can have some relief.
Adb and fastboot. Those are the only tools you need to use.
If I had been in your shoes, I would have done a bit of googling on the term 'fastboot recovery'
I don't know why some people make this so hard. This is a developer site, if you don't want to learn, you shouldn't be here. Considering all this **** is literally spelled out for you with step by step documentation, it doesn't make any sense to click that 'new thread' button when this issue is so common.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
yeah googling more is what got me following half arse instructions and wading hours of my day. so which part of your detailed instructions would have led you ( if in my shoes) to Google fast boot recovery?
well I have now downloaded the latest tool kit so i can un root. then I'm going to hunt through countless posts and try find which is the best way to root and install cm10.x hopefully next time their is an update i won't have to reroot just to get all my little root access apps back.
ps this is the trouble shoot q&a section not the developers only section. hence why i posted here.
Welcome to xda-DEVELOPERS.com.
Maybe you missed that part. The domain name isn't xda-hold-lazy-asses-hand-and-make-their-device-cool.com
You are expected to read, comprehend, and take initiative to learn. Asking for a hand holding session is not the way.
If you would bother reading the stickies, you would see how easy it is to flash recovery. There is a tutorial in the damn stickies that literally walks you through the process.
Hint: every goddamn nexus gets rooted and recovery flash the same way regardless of what version of android you are on
I don't know how much more plain and simple we could be here.
Fastboot flash recovery name of recovery.IMG
I mean wtf how could you NOT find that?

so..... thanks for the pointless rant, after re read many guides and how tos, also wasting a saturday. still cant get the bootloader to update from version 4.13 (read post 1 again) not even using fastboot.

Use stock images for Android 4.2 and not 4.3 to avoid that error.
But i'm not sure why you want to flash anything else than recovery? Do you want to get it back to pure stock?
Hi All…
This is a NOOB question, so if I'm in the wrong place, please accept my apologies and direct me to the right forum. With that said, here's my question: Through Google Play I put both CWM and TWRP on my Nexus 7 to see which one I liked better. I happen to like TWRP, so I uninstalled CWM. This strikes me a completely weird, but every time I reboot into recovery mode CWM keeps coming up…not TWRP. This is frustrating the crap out of me. On another posting I read that someone else was having this same problem. One of the posted solutions was to erase the recovery partition and then flash TWRP through fastboot. THIS is a bit above my pay grade, but I'd really like to learn how to do this. Would someone mind giving me a quick tutorial or at least send me to the appropriate posting so can read how to do this? I'm a quick learner and I promise I won't take up too much of your time. Thank you to all who bother to chime in.
A recovery is not an app that you can just install and uninstall. You need to flash the recovery image you want, in your case TWRP.
Requesting guidance before I brick my phone.
I currently have bootloader unlocked, twrp installed, and my nexus 6p rooted. I'm running 7.1.2. I've also changed a line in the (build.prop) provisions in order to tether free (since I am on at&t)
Basically, I'm wanting to install pure nexus. I have the custom rom file and the vendor image file.
Before I install from, I'm wondering if I need to unroot first? Also curious if how "shamu" will affect things since I'm on Angler.
Thanks!
Okay you need to stop everything you're doing and read this topic until you know what is what.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928/page577
First of all, you obviously wouldn't flash a Shamu package on Angler. That's a great way to brick your phone, permanently.
Read every single step in that guide above, even if you don't think it's pertinent to what you're trying to do. Read it a second, third, fourth, fifth time until you know the steps by heart. Until you know what's next.
Also, download the correct Angler zip file and DO NOT FLASH A SHAMU ZIP ON YOUR PHONE.
help

You can follow the original advice I posted above. Read that thread I linked. It's ALL covered there. No sense in me writing everything up here when all you need to do is click the link I posted and follow the return to stock sections. There's even one for maintaining your data. Read the thread. It covers literally everything.

Sorry I don't mean to bug man but I'm so lost. I'm trying to find what you are referring me to but I'm not finding the info I need I haven't been on here too often so this is like a pain in my rear so far. Plus I'm a very hands on kinda learner so I need some like handicapped help lol If you don't mind I don't want to pester anyone...
I was able to load pure Nexus. I didn't realize there was a pure nexus rom with Angler on it.
My main question was if I had to reverse the root. But I'm good to good now.
Rom loaded, vendor image loaded, and Google Apps loaded.
If you have an unlocked bootloader do not take the new T-mobile Android system update. You will be stuck in TWRP. I did the update and now after reboot all it does is go thru the boot screen then back to TWRP.
Can anybody help me get thru this?
Try to download this one and install it https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/rom-h91810q-stock-rom-twrp-flashable-zip-t3681312
First wrong section...
Second I typed: "update twrp loop" into the search box, and this is the very first link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/help/h910-twrp-boot-loop-lineage-official-t3699773
Don't see Lineage and think it doesn't apply to you. If you read the whole thread (it is 4 maybe 5 posts) you will have your answer.
Sorry if this seems snippy, but with SO much useful information on this forum that is VERY easy to find if someone uses very easy search terms -- it is annoying.

You are right. I should know better and do a proper search. Thank you for reminding me.:good:
No harm, no foul. Again, I apologize, I don't usually snip, just a bad day at work.
Hope that solved your problem.
