[Q] JROMFlasher Problems - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
This morning I rooted my Nexus 7 using NRT. All went fine. After little searching I found the JROMFlasher posted on this website and found it very interesting. I downloaded the SmoothRom v3.1 as well. Went through all the procedures of the JROMFlasher 1 by 1. At the end when I uploaded the ROM onto my device it did not show up on my clockworkmod recovery mod --> install zip from sdcard.
Now I'm stuck without no ROM as my nexus' storage doesn't mount and I have no way of putting a new ROM on it.
I know i've gone wrong somewhere, so please help.
Regards
Amir

HELP! Bought a device that turned out to be rooted. Need to go back to Stock.

First, I knew nothing about rooting any devices up until 2 hours ago. Ever since, I've been trying to set my phone up, but have failed and am extremely miserable at the moment.
So I tried to install the stock rom by using someone else's Nandroid backup, but it says that it "failed to find "cache" partition to mount at "/cache"
I tried to look at different threads and it pointed me to this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=988686&highlight=i9023
I read that if I was to "flash_image" that file onto my phone it would allow me to install the stock ROM.
But I can't find anywhere how to do this. At this point, my phone has no ROM on it. If i dont start in recovery, it says stuck at the Google Logo. If it makes any difference I'm on Rogers/ATT device.
Please, help
Is the stock rom zip file installed on SD storage? If so all you need to do is boot into recovery, install from SD card, unzip file (the stock Rom) and then reboot.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
unfortunately, there is no stock ROM on the SD card.
I tried installing everything manually.. I installed the android-sdk, got the usb drivers running, and adb works.
but none of the "flashboot" commands work. they all get stuck on "waiting for device" on the command prompt. I was trying to flash a ROM through the computer.
EDIT: fixed all issues.
used PDANet to reinstall all drivers then installed the new 4.0.0.2 clockwork. made it work. thank god.
I was in the same boat as I just bought mine used yesterday.
dl the stock 2.3.4 rom here. it comes as root or non rooted.

then flash through recovery...but keep in mind this won't re-lock your bootloader. if you want to re-lock your bootloader, you have to do it via adb.
BTW, you can access your sd storage via recovery.
Edit: Oops didn't read that you had fixed it. Neeeevermind.

[Q] nook color CM10.2 update problems CyanogenROM_Downloader/TWRP

Hi all. I have a Nook Color running CM 10.2 and am trying to upgrade it without success.
I have Superuser, CyanogenmodRom_Download, and TWRP downloaded.
Using CyanogenmodROM_Downloader configured to use TWRP I can successfully download a new Nightly. When I select Flash it takes me to Cyanboot. I select Internal eMMC Recovery and it brings up a notice saying that the Install Failed.
I tried using TWRP->Install->CyanogenROM_Downloader->cm-10.2-20131009-NIGHTLY-encore.zip. I'm not Wiping anything. Cyanboot into Internal eMMC recovery and the existing release instead of the update is installed.
Also, the only way I can tell which build is installed is with the CyanogenROM_Downloader. I looked around the web for something that would tell me where to look and didn't find anything. I also looked around /etc and didn't find anything obvious. Is there an easy way to tell what nightly build is installed?
I've been beating on this step for a couple of days now and looking around this site and the web and haven't found anything that helps although I'm sure it's out there somewhere. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

Go into system settings / about tablet (at bottom of settings)
About 3/4 down list you'll see the ROM installed. Also kernel info plus other info.
For updates ;
I go to this link and download directly.
http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?type=nightly&device=encore
Also I copy and paste the md5 sum into MD5 checker (free in play store), run the check.
Reboot into recovery using power button menu and install in TWRP there. I had too many problems using cm downloader, goo manager, etc.
nook color cm10.2 update problems
Thanks. That helps. I can determine the version now.
But I still can't get update to work. I downloaded from the location you gave using the browser and can see the file using TWRP and selecting install. This boots into the cyanoboot loader, there are two options enabled: 'Internal eMMC Normal' and 'Internal eMMC Recovery.' Normal seems to reboot -- which makes sense. Recovery re-installs the currently installed version. Also, using ADB I can see the new cm-nightly zip file in /storage/sdcard1/Download.
I don't see TWRP during the reboot. Should I??
I also don't get an option to select a new image to install. Should I?
I also tried copying the cm-nightly zip file to the /emmc directory and that doesn't seem to make any difference.
Sounds like a problem I had a while back

You may be having partition problems. I have had either lost the ability to install new nightlies or the ability to backup. Read the instructions through completely first. Get the info together and then start.
If you have a backup App like titanium backup, backup all files and data before anything else. Also if you can, do a backup in recovery before doing the following.
Check this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28457126#post28457126 by Leapinlar
I set up a 2Gb sd bootable card to run these from using the CWM recovery (If you need help check eyeballer's link below).
I put the partition repair files on it. Also the 1.4.3 Stock rom, the TWRP open recovery. zip 2.4.1.0 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37554712&postcount=129), and the latest Rom you want to install and Gapps.
After following leapinlar's instructions including installing the 1.4.3 Stock rom (fixes other possible problems), then follow eyeballer's install for the Rom, Gapps and recovery here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1030227&highlight=install+cm7+to+nook+color).
After booting and doing the initial CM setup return to recovery and VERY IMPORTANT ***restore only the data*** Not boot or system from your latest backup. This should get you back up and running. If you have a backup like Titanium restore "newer versions of apps" if you had to use an older recovery backup. Once you have everything set reboot into recovery and do another backup for safeties sake.
Including my wife's Nook I have four units and have needed to do this 4 or 5 times. Takes a little time but has always worked great. I keep the card available and update the Rom, Gapps or whatever else needs changing.
This link also contains a lot of helpful info. I have all these bookmarked on both my PC and Nook.

[Q] Very Urgent plese help nexus reboots into recovery only

Hello
My nexus 4 gets stuck on the google logo then boots into cwm recovery after I tried to install the stock 4.4.2 rom, I was coming from PA 4.3 rom.
The install aborted itself. I
wiped everything before hand and tried to install the rom again and still have the issue.
I downloaded the 4..3 stock rom but I don't know how to get it into my phone. I am on a mac and can't clear adb instructions.
I think I may have bricked my phone. Can someone help me find a way to fix this?

Can't help you on the Mac, but while it's unnerving, don't worry, your phone isn't bricked. Search xda for Mac adb setup and go from there. Good luck.

[Q] Small problem when installing SDMerge on LGE400

Small problem, no actually a big one when installing Cyanoid SDMerge 15.4 on my LGE400.
I successfully installed Cyanoid Standard 15.4 and am trying to upgrade to SDMerge using the steps found on the Google site of Cyanoid. I have these three files on my external SD: SDMergE400_Step1.zip SDMergE400_Step2.zip cyanoid15.4sdmerge.zip, first two from given link and last one from ROM Manager.
First I actually found that _ExternalSD on the phone is actually a map and not my SD Card, as I put in the SD Card into the computer I was not able to see the cyanoid154sdmerge.zip I put on it using the phone's file explorer. When storing the other two files on my SD Card using my computer, I could not see them when going to _ExternalSD in my phone's file explorer.
I thought: Let's put those three files in both directories in case it might matter which directory will be chosen by recovery.
Now when I click on install SDMergE400_Step1.zip ; the thing says failed. No idea why, no idea how to solve.
It says: (Not everything is readable)
Updating partition details...
E:Resource type (image) failed to
Installing '/emmc/_ExternalSD/SDMe
Checking for MD5 file...
Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file fo
assert failed: getprop("ro.product
E:Error executing updater binary in
Error flashing zip '/emmc/_External
So ehm, what do to next?
Thanks in advance.
Does no one have an idea on how to install SDMerge on my E400 given the problems above? I forgot to mention that this package failure did not brick my phone so I am still looking for a way to install SDMerge.
Thanks in advance.

Oh you remind of one more other strange thing: On first boot, back at the stock rom of my LGE400GO, ROM Manager automatically installed CWM recovery. When I restart Cyanoid into recovery, I get to see TeamWin Recovery Project v2.7.0.0. What went wrong? Might it be this recovery that does not allow me to install SDMerge? Is there a way to change recoveries or should I do a total reinstall of Cyanoid?
I found out that it is possible to revert to CWM recovery, yet when I select to do so the phone gets stuck on Flashing.... (ClockWorkMod Recovery)
Used this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2405279 to install CWM recovery using the Terminal for Android, it worked. This means that I know run the latest version of CWM recovery. I am going to try the SDMerge installation with this.
It worked. I was able to install step1.zip and step2.zip using CWM recovery. Installed SDMerge after that. Now my phone is rebooting, let's see if it worked. It is booting so I did at least not brick it. Though it is taking a bit long for Cyanoid for start, I think it worked. I will edit this post later this evening if it succeeded. EDIT: It booted. It is still slow, but it booted. This means that I now have Cyanoid 15.4 SDMerge installed.
Thanks.
