I purchased my nexus 7 from Walmart. The first thing I did was unlock and root it. But it turns out that my nexus has the screen flicker hardware issue. So how do I unroot, relock, and return to stock?
I think Google gives the factory .img's that I could flash through fast boot, but will that relock the boot loader and unroot it?
Also does the splash screen keep the 'unlocked' icon after being relocked?
That's a lot of questions, but if anyone can help that'd be great. Thanks!

EDIT: since its a hardware issue, can I just factory reset? Its not like the people at Walmart will know...
you can follow this guide.
1. Download the 4.1 (JRN84D) image files to your computer. A direct download link is found here: [Only registered users can view links. ]
While a link to the Google page you can search on if you need, is here: [Only registered users can view links. ]
2. Extract the files from that downloaded file. This will give you a folder called "nakasi-jrn84d-factory-8b0bd791"... inside of which you will find a folder called "nakasi-jrn84d"... and inside of that you will see the files we are going to fastboot to your tablet. We want to place these files into the folder we located earlier which contains our "fastboot" file. Move or copy them over to that folder.
Note: On Linux/Ubuntu you may just extract them to any easily located folder.. Create a new one on the desktop or your home folder is my recommendation.
For reference, there should be 4 files, named:
bootloader-grouper-3.34.img
flash-all.sh
flash-base.sh
image-nakasi-jrn84d.zip
3. Open a command prompt inside the folder we have set up our files in. On windows this can be done by holding shift as you right-click in the folder, then select "Open command window here". On Mac or on a Linux system you want to open a terminal/command prompt and navigate to that folder using "cd" or "change directory" commands. For example if your folder is called "fastbootfiles" and it is on your desktop, you would enter:
Code:
cd desktop
Code:
cd fastbootfiles
4. Power down your tablet. Reboot into the bootloader by holding Volume Down + Power until you see the bootloader screen. In red letters toward the top of the text you will see fastboot mode. Once here, plug it into your computer.
5. Let's make sure you have your fastboot drivers installed and recognizing your device. Enter in the command prompt:
Code:
fastboot devices
For Mac:
Code:
./fastboot-mac devices
And press enter. You should see "List of attached devices" Followed by a string of numbers. If you do not see this, you do not have your drivers installed correctly! Go back to Zero Neck's Unlocking guide and grab the correct drivers, and make sure you install them correctly. You can also find the procedure during the video posted by Ragnarokx.
If you got the expected response, let's move on to fastbooting you back to stock...
6. This first command is going to wipe all your old EVERYTHING from the device. Credit to our resident AC cowboy, Jerry Hildenbrand, for pointing out to me a minor bug with the Nexus 7 bootloader that makes this a wise step to do first. Type each of these lines followed by Enter between them, waiting for one to finish before moving on to the next:
Code:
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
7. This command will flash the stock bootloader on to your device. Enter:
Code:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-grouper-3.34.img
And press enter. Make sure you type the command exactly as you see it.
Note: As we noted earlier, replace "fastboot" above with the exact name of the fastboot file in your folder, for your system, such as "fastboot-windows" or "fastboot-mac". Addtionally for Mac's only, the command should be entered as such
Code:
./fastboot-mac flash bootloader bootloader-grouper-3.34.img
Noting the period and forward slash before the command.
Going forward you Mac folks just remember that with the rest of the commands
Now reboot the bootloader:
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Enter.
8. This next command will both wipe your old system and flash the factory image in its place, which includes the stock system, recovery, kernel, and userdata partitions:
Code:
fastboot -w update image-nakasi-jrn84d.zip
Enter, and wait, make sure the command finishes. This might take a few minutes.
Reboot the bootloader again:
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Enter.
9. We are done with the hard part... pretty easy right? Now we're just going to lock that bootloader.
Code:
fastboot oem lock
Enter.
Yes, this step is optional but I strongly recommend it if you had issues earlier which led to this procedure. Now you can unlock again if you like, which will give your tablet that final full wipe to clear out any bad data remaining:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
Enter.
10. Finally, reboot and setup your tablet again from scratch!
Code:
fastboot reboot

A simpler and easier solution is to use the nexus root toolkit from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766475
Get the latest official image from google from https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#nakasi and use the factory restore.
Just a few things:
1. Install the toolkit to default location
2. Restart after installing
3. Click where it says "full driver installation guide" and follow the simple instructions/script to install the appropriate drivers. (necessary before you can use it; there are two possible issues with v1.5.2 mentioned but I didn't encounter any driver issues on win7 x64 nor did I encountered the issue with adb mentioned)
4. Run the flash stock + unroot script.
5. Run the relock script.

I agree the toolkit is the way to go. I stayed away from it when I rooted because the whole one click method never appealed to me on any of my android devices. That was until I soft bricked my n7 by trying to change the LCD density, then I went to the toolkit it is the real deal.

The EASY WAY TO USE FASTBOOT LINES COMMAND
HELP FOR FLASH MORE FASTER WHEN YOU USE FASTBOOT LINE COMMAND
If you have got a problem with your adb or fastboot or recovery....it's very simply and faster
use this:
Download this file "fastboot.zip"
Install this file somewhere in one folder which is named "fastboot" on your PC
=> disk C: root
Unzipped this file on the folder "fastboot" and you will find 3 files:
- adb.exe
- AdbWinApi.dll
- fastboot.exe
and when you need to push something by the bootloader, you can use it.
Don't forget to push on this folder the file that you need. For exemple: boot.img or a recovery.img, etc...
The line command is :
Code:
c:\fastboot>
Enter
Code:
c:\fastboot>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Enter
If you want to flash the "recovery.img" file

Try the easy way on first
Use the post 2.
You can use it for all the install, except for for the permanent recovery where you will have to use ADB line command.
The best you can do, it's to use fastboot easy way and when you have finished, you learn and install correctly your sdk and check all your parameters. And when you will be ready you will be able to use adb lines command easily to install your recovery in a permanent way.
It's too long for a course about sdk, the best you can do it's to to search and read. Go to my index, and read the General guides
Gonna try this later today. Though something is a bit fishy. When I use adb from the fastboot.zip it can't find my device but from the platform-tools dir it seems to work fine. Are they different versions? How big risk is it to brick the device while unlocking/rooting and installing recovery? Pls tell me its unbrickable. cheers

I can't says it's unbrickable !!!
The differences between these versions is:
If you use sdk/platform tools it's the more complete install and the easy way for fastboot, that just if you need to use fastboot line command, but it's not more complete for using with adb lines command.
If you go to the post 2, you will see all the lines command for fastboot.
If your sdk install is correct, you can use it without problems.
The easy way by fastboot is just a shotcut

Downloaded latest cm and gapps rebooted inte recovery and flashed them. Now I only have bootloop with cm10.1...
I know it aint bricked cause I think I can get into bootloader.

The Nexus7 is very difficult to brick. It still is possible, but as far as I know there is only one way to do it - remove or destroy the bootloader.
Under normal circumstances, the only time you do anything with the bootloader is unlocking/locking it, which simply does a minor modification. That's perfectly fine. And the normal custom-recovery/root process doesn't touch it, so that's fine too. Doing system updates (even legit OTA ones) might upgrade the bootloader, as might flashing custom roms. But as long as you don't interrupt the process during that critical step, it should be OK.
So outside of erasing the bootloader or flashing a completely incompatible bootloader and rebooting, your N7 should be safe.
adb command line Linux support
Hi All,
Am new to this forum and also to my newly bought N73G. So I am unsure about the complete process though explained step by step. One thing that i wanted to confirm was Does ADT Bundle for linux work the same as that of windows? Cause I run the same on my PC; these command line instructions would they work the same way on Linux terminal?
It's not the same as Windows. You can download the ADT Bundle for Linux.

Yes, you can use the recovery-twrp-tilapia-2.3.2.1.img without problem
and when I writes "rename your select with the name of the recovery image you chose to download", I mean that you can rename the IMG file by "recovery" simply. It's more faster.

Yes, it's correct. it's more faster to write: "recovery.img" than "recovery-twrp-tilapia-2.3.2.1.img".
It's the same file, just rename.
This has no effect on the recovery flash
Can I root my device (4.2.2) using Superboot yet ?
Re: [GUIDE] - Updated 08 Feb - Unlock and Root a Nexus7 3G “Nakasig- Tilapia”
I received 4.2.2 update today. I haven't installed it for fear of losing root. Should i repeat the procedure to root again after updating my n7. Will i again loose my data? Or the bootloader will remain unlocked? Please help

I can flash UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.04.zip in CWM/TWRP recovery to get root after update from 4.2.1
You will not loose any data.
Your bootloader will upgrade to 4.18 and still unlocked.

nice guide
Thanks!! But this work on all no-brand CID?
Works for all Cid. As long as it is a original and official PN07IMG for a HTC care point. And I ask all care point to upload there files whit correct CID. Go's by product product part number. The P/n on the box.
Great tutorial, can you explain how to get back to stock with a nandroid backup because there is no Dutch tmobile ruu out yet..
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
what is your part number? I can see if i can get it. I think it is a german t-mobile version of your phone.
Swap around step 1 and 2. It would be much safer to flash the RUU first.
This is because if you set your security flag to on while you have an unsigned hboot, and then reboot the phone, it will hard-brick - flashing the RUU first will make sure it's a signed hboot.
also you may want to add an alternative to flashing the zip-
the windows RUU tool can be used, available here

Totally agree. S-ON should always be at the final step before sending your phone to HTC Service.
if you had done something like removing the red warning message long ago and eventually forgot then S-on and reboot would probably turn your 500$ smartphone into a 500$ smart-paperweight.
After doing this, would i be able to receive ota updates ? Because i did this and relocked my device. Same RUU but wont receive ota updates
CID is dutch CD_011 i believe

Thanks dude !
READ THIIS!
*this thread is for m9. it will NOT work on m7,or any older device. please check the general forum for your particular device for a similar thread.
this thread will let you unlock your bootloader without htcdev,or let you change your hboot watermark from relocked or locked back to stock.
advantages
-no hassle with htcdev,tokens,or unlock codes
-no submitting your phones personal info to htc
-the ability to get back to 100% stock without any visual traces or records of having been s off or unlocking your bootloader.
you do NOT need to downgrade your hboot. this simple adb command works without any scary hboot downgrades.
*you must be s off.
*you must have superuser installed
read this:
this will not work if your s on. its not a way to magically unlock
the usual disclaimers:
use this info at your own risk. if it melts your phone into a little pile of aluminum goo,its not my fault.
credits
-beaups for schooling me on echo comand protocol
-strace for originally discovering the location of the lock status flag(check out this thread for more info)
- @Mutasek24 for fearlessly testing all commands
IF you are an advanced user with adb/fastboot set up and some basic knowlede of the cmd window,you can skip to #2
1)set up adb(windows 7 and older)
-download this file
-install drivers: if you have htc sync installed,you should allready have drivers. if not,you can install htc sync,or install these modified htc drivers from revolutionary (driver mirror)
-unzip your miniadb_v1031.zip file. this is native funtionality in windows 7. you otherwise may need a utility such as "7-zip" to extract,or unzip it. place the unzipped folder onto the root of your C drive on your PC. root means the top level,not inside any folders. so just copy and paste,or drag and drop the folder onto C with everything else that is there. you may want to rename it to "miniadb_m7" since youll be putting some device specific files in here.
-open a command window. on windows 7,click the start bubble in the lower left and type "command" in the search box. xp i believe is similar or the same. doing this should open a small black command window.
-change to your miniadb_m7 directory. type the following at the prompt in your cmd window:
cd c:\miniadb_m7
your command promt should change to "c:miniadb_m7>" provided you: 1)unzipped the miniadb_v1031 zip file,and 2)put the folder on your c drive,and 3)entered the name of the folder correctly ("miniadb_m7" in this case)
-now make sure usb debugging is checked in developer options(you will need to turn it on first),and plug your phone into your PC with a usb cable
-make sure your phone is being recognized- type:
adb devices
if your drivers are installed correctly,this should return your phones serial number. you should hear the "found device" noises when you plug your phone in. if it starts installing drivers,wait for it to finish before typing the adb devices command.
if you get your serial number back,then enter this command:
adb reboot bootloader
this should take your phone to the "fastboot" screen,wich is white with colored letters. this is one mode of your bootloaders interactive modes. at the top youll see fastboot devices as confirmation youre in fastboot.
now enter:
fastboot devices
again,this should return your phones serial number. you should hear the "found device" noises when you plug your phone in. if it starts installing drivers,wait for it to finish before typing the adb devices command.
if you get your serial number back,you can enter the following to boot back to the phones OS:
fastboot reboot
and now,youve installed adb/fastboot and tested youre phones drivers. if at either spot,you have trouble and dont get your serial number back,there is some sort of connection issue. use these steps to troubleshoot:
troubleshooting connectivity issues:
-try a reboot of the PC
-try different usb cables and ports
-dont use a usb hub
-dont use usb 3.0
-make sure nothing capable of comunicating with the phone is enabled and running. htc sync,pdanet,easy tether,and even itunes have all been known to cause issues.
-windows 8 has been known to have issues. try a windows 7 or older machine
failing the above,
-i use these drivers for fastboot and adb(donwload and run as admin): http://downloads.unrevoked.com/HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe (mirror)
failing that,try manually updating the drivers in the following manner:
-put the phone in fastboot mode(select fastboot from the hboot menu)
-open device manager on the PC
-plug in phone,watch for it to pop up in device manager.
-update drivers with device manager,pointing the wizard to the extracted
driver download folder from above
note that you can check the connectivity of the phone,and make sure drivers are working by in the following manner:
-open cmd window. change to directory containing adb/fastboot utilities
-adb with the phone in the booted OS,usb debug enabled,enter:
adb devices in a cmd window
-fastboot with phone in fastboot,enter:
fastboot devices in cmd window
in either case,a properly connected phone with working drivers installed should report back the phones serial number.

Thanks a lot for your very useful information. I have 2 questions??
1) When I am s-on and need to get s-off, then I need to be unlocked and rooted, so to do these still I need to use HTC-dev to unlock and root.
2) Does this method wipe data like when we use HTC-dev?

1)yes. the first time you root,you will need to use htcdev to unlock the bootloader. the biggest benefit of this is the ability to return to a locked status for warranty. while s on,the best youll be able to do is relocked.
2)no,it will not wipe your data. it just changes the flag that hboot checks in order to decide if its locked,or not.

The block where the tampered flag is write protected,so it cannot be written to with adb and have the change "stick". We know the command,it just doesn't work.
An ruu won't be available for all variants,so there will still be a work around,it will just be a bit more complicated. I just need to make sure it works and try to make it as user friendly as possible.

Ruu.exe worked for me.
Sdcard worked for @Mutasek24, but download mode manual flash did not (as reported in your other thread).
Because all methods are flashing the exact same SIGNED zip, and exe flashes through RUU mode, it's likely that flashing zip manually from RUU mode would reset the flag while using download mode does not. That needs to be tested tho.
Okay, I have seen many people using the unofficial TWRP on their device, and that's a little dangerous because it may be malicious, and you might not even know that.
I am not saying it is, but it can be.
Now, back to the topic here,
HOW TO INSTALL TWRP[2] AND GET ROOT ACCESS[3] and moreHere goes..
Before anything, you need to get ADB and FASTBOOT programs on your PC and get your drivers installed so you can communicate with the device through your computer.
To Download ADB and fastboot program, you can download this file (not my upload)
Extract it anywhere you want(and remember that location).
(lets say "C:\workspace\ADB" and I will use this path for this guide).Typically, the driver for ADB will install the first time you connect your device to your computer and:
Internet is available
USB Debugging is enabled on your phone
But the FASTBOOT driver would probably not be available yet. to get fastboot drivers, follow these steps:
Turn on and Unlock your device and connect it to PC via the USB cable.
Open CMD and execute "cd C:\workspace\ADB".(or you can open C:\workspace\ADB in file explorer and type CMD in the address bar to open CMD directly there.
Type "adb devices".
Now, your phone will ask something(permission to allow ADB access on the connected PC)allow it. After you allow it, the CMD will show a list of attached devices and the mode they are attached in, your device should show "device" for now.
If it does not, there is some problem, search on internet or ask for help here
Now type "adb reboot bootloader".
now your Phone will shutdown and open in a different state. It will say Fastboot on the screen.
Now the driver is installing or is already installed, to check, type this:
"adb devices" and it should show a list and your device's mode should change to "fastboot".
That's it for the ADB and FASTBOOT. You have the necessary things to continue.
Continue to next post for TWRP and the post next to it for ROOT ACCESS.
Now, we will talk about how to install TWRP
@DroidThug has been kind enough to get Official support of TWRP for this device.
Head over to this thread to download the official image file of the TWRP Recovery and keep it on your computer, this is the very first step you need to take.
Here is the thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/leeco-le-1s/development/official-twrp-t3527566
If you are lazy enough to go through the thread, which i suggest you to visit, here is the direct link to the download page: https://dl.twrp.me/x3/
And here is the direct download link of the v3.0.3(latest as of 31st Jan, 2017): https://dl.twrp.me/x3/twrp-3.0.3-0-x3.img
Once you have the recovery image, you need to flash it through fastboot.
If you are following this guide from start, you should already be in fastboot and have CMD open on your PC in adb folder.
Now, a few things you might want to follow strictly if you are unsure how to do it:
Copy the recovery image file to "C:\workspace\ADB" (adb folder).
Rename that file to "twrp.img"
Now you need to execute this command from CMD to flash the file:
"fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" and press enter.
This will take a few seconds and will will be over soon.
Now you need to reboot directly into RECOVERY, because if you will boot to the system first, the Device will replace your newly flashed recovery with the stock recovery and all this will be wasted. But if you reboot to recovery first, it will patch those things up and will stay.
So, to reboot to recovery, you need to use the key combo to get into the recovery,
Press and hold "Volume UP" and "Power" Buttons till the screen goes off(from fastboot mode) and is lit up again and then leave the power key and 2-3 seconds later, leave the Volume key too.
You will enter into recovery mode and it will ask you "if you want to keep the System partition to read only or not?"
I'd recommend keeping it to read only unless you know what you are doing.
There you have it!
You have successfully installed TWRP on your device!
GET ROOT ACCESS
Okay, So you have the RECOVERY installed already
Now go to this page and download the latest "Recovery Flashable ZIP" from there. (Here is the latest one as on 31st Jan, 2017).
You can do this in two ways through Phone(with TWRP already present) and through PC.
Through PhoneAll you need to do is flash it through the recovery and thats it, you will have root access!
Here are the steps to flash ZIPs from Recovery:
Get the zip file you want to flash(the one downloaded above) and place it somewhere in the Phone's internal storage.
Reboot to recovery(Power off and then hold "Vol UP" and "Power" keys till the screen is lit up.).
Tap on "Install".
Navigate to the ZIP file you placed in your phone's internal storage.
Select it and swipe to flash it.
The last step might take a few seconds and will be done then.
After its done, that't it!
Reboot to system and you have ROOT ACCESS!
Through PCOkay, you would still need to reboot to recovery, but you can follow this guide if you don't want to copy the zip file on your phone for whatever reason you may have.
Here are the steps:
Enter recovery.
Select "Advanced->ADB Sideload" and swipe to start sideload.
Now connect your phone to PC.
Now open CMD in ADB folder.
Check if your device is detected by typing "adb devices". It should show a device with sideload state.
Now type "adb sideload " and drag the zip file into the cmd window.
OR
you can copy the zip to the adb folder and rename it to supersu.zip and write "adb sideload supersu.zip" in the CMD.
Now Press enter.
After this, in a few seconds, it will be over and you can reboot to system(it might automatically reboot to system too).
And that's it! There you have it!
You have ROOT ACCESS on your device!
5. Now the driver is installing or is already installed, to check, type this:
"adb devices" and it should show a list and your device's mode should change to "fastboot".
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If the phone is on fastboot mode, "adb devices" supposed to not give any output. "fastboot devices" will show the device and mode as fastboot.
You will enter into recovery mode and it will ask you "if you want to keep the System partition to read only or not?"
I'd recommend keeping it to read only unless you know what you are doing.

My screen is broken (that's only white light and no digitiser). I dont have any other Le 1S to get idea.
1. Are you sure Vol Up + Power will enter into Recovery? Mine is 5.5.014S.
2. I want to make my system partition as writable. Can you tell how to achieve with hardware keys like Vol Up or down & power.
3. After step 2. Can I flash SuperSu from PC without enabling sideload. While on custom recovery , "adb devices" will show mode as recovery. So flashing supersu from here. Not sure if this is correct. On my Moto G falcon. whenever I go into TWRP, adb recovery and MTP works.
Also can you check whats the combination Vol Up+Vol Dn+Power. When it starts I can connect to adb but all partitions are read only and not allowing to make any change to device. Not sure if its due to encryption.

Update:
I some how managed to side load. My Phone got bootlop after installing twrp. Then flashed userdata by following http://forum.le.com/in/index.php?th...op-restart-solution-letv-le1s-x507-x509.1155/ . Now its factory reset as I can see the screenshot from PC.
Still interested in knowing what's that Vol Up+Vol Down + Power.
