So I decided to try the ubuntu rom out, and silly me, I wrote on top of the back up I had done of my rom; and now I've got the N7 with the ubuntu rom installed and no back up accesible to backup to an android rom....
Is there a way to flash any rom from the recovery menu? if there's, please tell me how... because the computer doesn't recognize the N7 when I plug it in, so I cant just copy a .zip to flash it...
PLEASE tell me there's a way to undo this and that I have not bricked my device... please, tell me there's a way.... :crying:
Thanks in advance.

Hi I've been spending the morning trying to root my Legend according to the guide in the Developers section. Everything went smoothly from downgrading up to Step 1 of the root procedure. It's getting stuck at writing 'zip' and Google didn't really help much, most people who had this problem either didn't get a proper answer or it was caused by problems creating the goldcard, which I'm sure I got right. Does anyone know the problem?
Try running a linux virtual machine and continue from there, its how I got it working.

If you got through step1 you can just download clockworkmod's update.zip and place it in the root of your sdcard. Then enter recovery and flash the room you like. This worked for me..

Thanks, I got it working from my Linux, I've had a dual-boot but haven't been able to get adb working in it until this.
Something else about flashing new firmware - when I want to upgrade ROMs such as from CM 6 to 6.1, do I need to do a wipe? What does the wipe actually do and will I lose all my settings again?
I flashed a patch for the tablet UI, but after it installed, it is stuck in CM10 animation. Tried to manually boot into recovery and its stuck on Google with the unlock sign. Imma nubee sorry... Please i really need some help.
Have you tried to hook up to a computer and try command adb reboot recovery?

Travisdroidx2 is right. You simply need to connect your N7 to a computer's USB port and then you can access recovery mode via the steps you mentioned or via adb. It's a bug that Google is going to fix eventually (I hope).

I Don't think this is a good time to advertise your ROM.
I put Ubuntu on my 7 using the Ubuntu desktop installer (had to do it manually, but yea...) that came out semi-recently and I want to go back to good ol' Andy so I can try out some cool USB OTG stuff I saw recently. I'm having a bit of trouble finding out how to flash Android back to it. Clockwork is gone and I tried an unbrick method and it didn't work. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!!

There might be a better way of doing this but I always use wug fresh's toolkit and use the flash stock button. All it requires is bootloader with required drivers. That will flash the stock android and stock recovery!

I shall give it a shot right meow. Thanks!
Edit: HA!! That's how I rooted my N4! I already have it and everything! Didn't recognize the name. I'll let everyone know how it goes.
After getting every damn error in the world and having to do it manually-ish, I got it. Thanks! Forgot about that program!
Hi guys, sorry if this is a "noob" question or that its in the wrong section or whatever, I am new here and this is my first post so please bear with me.
So today I was trying to install cyanogen mod which is so hard? And I did something wrong and I went into recovery mode to reset the phone and accidently deleted the OS... Now the phone is pretty much useless. I researched it and they say do a factory reset with odin(whatever that is, I dont know) and then the phone should be back to normal... I dont know how to do this and am panicking! Please help me get my phone back to normal? I wanted to install cyanogen mod because I wanted the theme to be black and white instead of black and cyan like it is on stock and I wanted a new kernel to improve performance and battery life which sucks on a stock nexus 4. Any help much appreciated...
Also, Nexus 4 Toolkit v2.0 doesn't have android 4.3 on it yet? It says it only updates on the pro version? I DESPERATELY NEED HELP PLEASE!
Thank you everyone, sorry for being so noob and urgent, cheers!

I think you can just flash another ROM and it would work

My computer cannot detect the Nexus 4... I cant do anything like even load anything... I only go to recovery mode... I don't even know how to flash a rom? I deleted everything so theres no rom to flash anyway and my PC not detecting it is not helping.
Download and install this: http://www.wugfresh.com/
Follow the instructions on the driver installation and choose the RAW drivers. Seem to work better than the other options. Leave the phone in the bootloader. Don't touch the phone besides plugging it into the computer. Once everything is done driver wise, choose Soft-bricked/bootloop. Be sure that you have the factory image from Google itself. Doing this method will reset everything. So be sure to do any backups if you can. I'm not at fault if you ruin your phone even more.

Flash stock ROM using fastboot. There is a sticky out here on how to. Good luck.

Thanks, I've tried it but I don't know how to? May you give me steps please? USB Debugging is not on because I cannot access the phone but the phone is still unlocked but it wont work without USB Debugging... Please help me? Please?!

Click on this link and read the instructions...then read them again and follow to the letter. http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/ Andel7539 was pointing you in the same direction, just be patient and read the instructions. There is an option to reload the original O/S, then you can move on from there. Odin is a Samsung interface, not what you need for an LG phone. For what it's worth I did the same thing before by accident but had a backup (nandroid) just in case of emergency's which you should also have for situations such as this. When in doubt Google and read, Google and read!
Thank you... I still cannot do it because I cannot enable USB debugging. I've seen all the guides but they all require USB debugging and I cannot get into the phone to enable it? If I try to start the phone up it will just be stuck at the google logo but I can get into the fastboot menu and recovery menu too. Please help?
Also, do I need Cyanogen mod to use kernels? Or do I just need to root? I only wanted Cyanogen mod in the first place for better performance and battery life but I hear there are kernels that allow you to have both? Please guide me through this guys, I am very noob, sorry about this. Cheers!
Just for the record, bootloader/fastboot mode have nothing to do with usb debugging. Do you know at least how to boot to the bootloader? (Power + Volume Keys)
You don't need usb debugging to save your phone. Follow the instructions and you will do it.
And no, you don't need CM to use custom kernels, just a custom recovery to flash them and an version of the kernel compatible with your Android version.
Search about how to install adb on your PC and how to "sideload" zips in it. Then sideload the CM zip. Or search how to use fastboot and use it to flash the google factory image on your phone.

Thank you guys, I did it! I fixed it with the soft bricked option, thank you guys!
Also, do you guys know how to get a custom recovery? I try to go into recovery mode from the fastboot menu but it comes up with the red triangle on top of the android? I really want to install TWRP or CWM to install a custom kernel, please help?
Cheers!

With the fastboot you can do it, or, if you're already rooted or running CM, install GooManager from PlayStore, go to options and select "Install OpenRecovery Script".
Hi guys!
Today my nexus 7 (wifi) got bootloop with the newest aokp rom. And the problem is that how i dont have any custom rom in my tablet what i can install from cwm. I can boot to bootloader and i can boot to cwm but i cant put roms what can i do now??
Thanks!
I'd say download a Rom to fit, unzip and grab the md5 tar file And flash it In odin if That's possible on A nexus. Just Happened to come across this searching for something else. Lol

I wasn't sure. Samsung may be the only device that uses an Odin program. I have a bricked Pantech that I can't find a program to flash any files with. I'd say just start searching the threads Typing different descriptions of your problem. Surely someone has had the same issue. If you have CWM Recovery, I'd say it's highly possible to use the side load option with ADB installed on a Windows 7 computer to flash the Rom you need. I've never done it but I know it's possible. I've successfully installed ADB/Fastboot on my laptop but I'm just now getting familiar with the commands and how to push files to a device. Hope i helped.

If u have the same problem what i had u should do this what i did:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1902016
U HAVE TO USE THE DRIVERS WHATS IN THE DESCRIPTION!!! I think this is easier than the fastboot it tooked me 20 minutes and now everything good, and if u want to put 4.4.x rom u have to upgrade ur cwm its important because if u wont upgrade it will say status 7 problem!
