Hi All,
I flashed the ubuntu touch preview to play around with on my Nexus 4, but since its still early days, I flashed back to android, but now I have a problem.
My phone is still rooted, as indicated by the unlocked lock when starting the phone. But when I downloaded supser su, it said no binary files and it wont work.
So basically my question is, what do I need to do now to get my phone back to being flashable and stuff.
Thanks in advance!

You need to get a custom recovery back on the phone
ahh so cwm will make it all better?
flash the root zip via cwm.

the unlocked lock doesnt mean the phone is rooted. it just shows to say the bootloader is unlocked
so im trying to follow this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010312 to re root my phone, but when i do fastboot devices it shows me in terminal "no permissions fastboot". i am in the bootloader, it says lock state - unlocked, so i know my bootloader should be unlocked...
anyone have any advice? i checked google and didnt see anything on this issue
Edit: errr silly me... i forgot to add sudo to begining of command :/ sorry hehee
im actually going to return the nexus 7 to best buy mobile, where i bought it. however i already unlocked and rooted it and installed a custom rom. and theres no way to bring it back to stock. i assume theyre going to check it to see if its unlocked etc during the return. does anyone have any exp with returning theres? or is it against the return policy to have it like this? go figure, it is a nexus and should be this way.

May I ask why you are taking it back? And it really depends how tech savvy the customer service person is...

You can go to the Dev section and find a 'stock' image that you can flash. It leaves it unlocked, but that's a simple enough adb command....

Relocking is not an adb command. It's performed by running fastboot.
fastboot oem unlock
Will handle everything nicely if the device is in fastboot. Yes, you can use adb to reboot into fastboot mode, but it's usually easier to just use the button combination.

Welp that's what you get for being on the Internet in the morning.
Yea pretty easy, all done in fastboot mode.
I would personally do,
fastbook OEM lock
Then
Fastbook OEM unlock
Then
fastboot OEM lock
It will erase everything and put it at stock-like, with a locked bootloader. Sales clerks aren't going to go through setup again to look at some text.

Don't worry I used to work at best buy and I still return my stuff rooted/jail broken. I would just flash a modified stock ROM and return it. Make sure that there are no give aways like the tablet ui looking different ect. They honestly won't care just say you are return it because of some bull**** reason like it doesn't fit your needs. Do not say its a software issue otherwise they will try to troubleshoot it obviously!
Good luck hope this helps!

While there is certainly no reason not to spend a few minutes to put things back to stock (why take the risk?), odds are they won't notice or care. I returned my original N7 to Sams Club to upgrade to the 3G model when it came out and the CSR didn't even open the box, let alone make sure it was stock. I guess the fact that they could track me down if the device wasn't inside might have helped with that.
Also, keep in mind that when returning a non-defective device (and sometimes a defective one....) they go back on the shelves as open box. Odds are, someone who has no idea what they are doing is going to buy it. So don't be a jerk (not pointing fingers, just talking generally) and give them a modified tablet. Be nice and leave it in the same condition you would want your mom to buy it in.
Stock image is now posted, so Wugfresh's Nexus Root Tool should be able to flash it, unroot and relock.
Hi! I was using my N7 3G reading the news and suddenly it became unresponsive. It took about 2 seconds to recognize my touch. So i decided to turn it off and turn it back on. But after it turned back on the touch screen is completely dead. I can't even unlock it. Power and volume buttons still work. I'm on CM 10.1.3
I even forced reboot it many times by holding the power button for about 20s but that didn't help. Anyone ever had this issue too? It seems like a hardware problem. If that's the case i would have it repaired by ASUS but I'm afraid that I won't get warranty because I'm not on stock ROM+rooted+unlocked bootloader
Can you get into recovery? If so, try wiping the cache partition first to see if that helps.
If that doesn't help, do you have usb debugging enabled? If so,
should be able to use the Nexus 7 toolkit. Just boot your tablet, plug it in your machine, fire up the Nexus 7 toolkit and have it unroot and relock your BL.
You might also want to try and see if you can backup your data partition and your internal storage with the N7 toolkit. If you can do that, then you won't lose any of your data or application settings.
You should also be able to flash it back to stock as well via the toolkit and have it erase the user data.
If usb debugging is NOT enabled, then you might be hosed. You could at least do a factory reset in the main recovery.
Other than that, not much else can probably be done unless you want to open your tablet yourself and ensure all the connections are tight. There might be a lose connection for the digitizer and that's all you would need to do to fix it. Of course, that voids your warranty if you open it yourself. I don't know exactly where the hook up is. I'm sure a quick Google will tell you how to fix this if it's possible.
It definitely sounds like either your digitizer is bad or it's got a lose connection.
Good luck!

thanks for your help. I was going to plug it in my PC BUT IT'S WORKING AGAIN. I was like WTF lol :laugh: . So it must be a lose connection i guess .
By the way, I'm planning to go back to stock in case it happen again so that i can get my warranty at ASUS. And I don't know much about rooting/ flashing so I want to ask some questions .
1. Can I flash google's stock ROM just like flashing other ROMs like CM with bootloader unlocked?
2. Have you tried KitKat. If so have you experienced battery drain? The only reason I rooted and installed CM is that I hate the battery draining issue. I had it since I updated my N7 3G to 4.2.2 and it kept happenings in 4.3
Anyway thanks a lot :good:
So far no major issue with battery and yes flashing process is the same just be careful u need to update ur bootloader to go to 4.4 and flashing wrong bootloader will brick ur device to be careful and read every thing.

Well, I used wug's nexus root toolkit to root and unlock bootloader. If I use the option:"go back to stock lock bootloader and flash stock", can I install update from OTA like normal again?

Easy for you to say.
I don't know what the point of locking your bootloader would be - especially if you don't have a working ROM on the tablet (stock or otherwise).
If you are trying to go back to stock and never root again, well then: unlock your bootloader, get stock running on your tablet FIRST and only then lock the bootloader after everything else is working.
So, for the moment, unlock the bootloader and get a ROM installed. You can use a toolkit if you want, but using fastboot manually will avoid the "hiding" of any error messages. There are a TON of threads in here on how to do that.
And if you want any kind of decent help, don't use the phrase "it didn't work". That's totally ambiguous - it sort of implies that there is only one possible reason why something went wrong on your tablet, and we all know exactly what that one thing is. Not even close; there are hundreds of things that could have gone wrong.
A far better approach is to detail exactly what you were attempting, and then cut and paste any error messages you observed into your post here on XDA.
I have got a Axon 7 in original condition, meaning nothing has been rooted, unlocked, flashed,... Now i am trying to unlock the bootloader to get Oreo onto it. The problem is that when i start the tools in Windows they find the phone as ADB device but as soon as they reboot the phone it's not listed anymore and i can't do anything with it. Just stays on the dark screen until i restart it. Any idea what my issue could be?
Device is an Axon 7 2017G, Build is A2017GV1.2.0B09
What would be the easiest way to get it upgraded to Oreo?
Thanks

I assume you are using Axon7toolkit?
It always has these quirky problems. Try EDL Tool, or use Controllerboy's guide.
