Just fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Pulled directly from the ERD79 stock images.zip.

That's it? Just boot to fastboot and select recovery ?
Will this work for nonrooted phones?

If you're nonrooted then you still have the stock recovery.
This is for people who've flashed a custom recovery and wish to go back to shipping.

Problem is this won't help people who have rooted roms and are trying to maintain it. The official updates fail on rooted roms.
We have to just wait for one of the devs to patch it up so we can flash it.

so what do you do then if you are not rooted?

Not willing to wipe entire phone and loose everything. I want an upgrade path, not a clean install path. It is mighty tempting at this point though...

*shrug* I just did the ERD79->2.1 update-1->FRF50->FRF83 update. Took about 20 minutes coming from paul's rooted FRF50.

I've just purchased a 2nd hand N1. How can I tell if I'm running the stock or custome img?
I know from rooting/customROMing my Hero a little about img's but what's the name of the stock img on a N1?

Cool, thanks.

Boot into recovery. If you get a triangle and an exclamation point then you have the stock recovery.

Not sure about the FRG83D update, but I'm pretty sure that I had Amon_RA 1.8 when I went from FRF91 to FRG83, and everything went fine.

sorry to resurrect but you must be lucky as **** cause all of mine have failed in amon... both of those builds too! Clockwork dosent help either!

Amon RA 2.x works fine with OTA updates as long as you turn off signature checking, same with ClockworkMod.

The easiest is to flash Amon_RA v1.9.0. That version has signature checking OFF by default. Makes it super simple to flash OTA updates on a stock ROM (rooted or not).

Here's a link to stock FRG83G and recovery.img, which will allow you to get the OTA notification and update:

I actually have a slightly different problem, how do I prevent my custom recovery rom from being flashed back to stock? I am running a rooted version of 2.3.4, and it seems like every now and then when I reboot, I lose my custom recovery!

Remove /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

[Q], kernel help?

Basically I've never flashed a custom kernel before so I'm trying to do some research so if someone could give me some incite or point me in the right direction I'd really appreciate it.
The only thing I'm not sure of is if I flash a custom kernel will it prevent me from receiving any future ota updates? If so, any ideas where to find a flashable stock kernel? I couldn't find one. I really want to stay with the stock rom. Had my fill of custom roms on my phone.

Let's see. AFAIK yes, non-stock kernels will prevent you from getting those long-awaited OTAs (not sure though as the first thing I did after getting my N7 was to flash PA ).
If you really like the stock experience but still want a custom kernel, you must flash a custom recovery to flash kernels. The latest TWRP touch is what you need.
After you've flashed the recovery, just download the kernel zip, reboot to recovery, flash, profit.
As for a kernel, you can go with M-Kernel, DerKernel, franco.Kernel, Faux and so on and so forth. I love M-Kernel personally. You can tweak it with TricksterMOD for a smokin' good overclock as well as purty good battery life
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also, just asking, what do you mean by a "a flashable stock kernel"? If you already have the stock kernel, why flash the same over it?
AFAIK updates to stock kernel are provided by OTAs.

I guess I was looking for a way to return to the stock kernel if need be. I have my recovery and understand that part. Just trying to make sure I understand kernels better before I brick my n7. Thanks for the help!

Oh, ok. If you flash the stock ROM, it flashes the kernel as well (but it's a lot of work reflashing a ROM just for the kernel )
What you can do is this: extract the stock ROM zip and flash the boot.img you get.
Here's a link to the stock ROM: https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/nakasig-jop40d-factory-efcec044.tgz
Edit: I figured I'd explain the rest as well...
After you download that file, untar it: nakasig-jop40d-factory-efcec044.tgz will untar to a folder probably named:nakasig-jop40d-factory-efcec044
Open that folder. You will find a zip (probably image-nakasig-jop40d.zip or something like that), unzip it.
You'll find four files. boot.img is the one you need. Flash it to your device with fastboot.
If you wan a flashable zip, unzip any custom kernel, replace the awesome custom boot.img with the boring stock one and rezip. You should be able to flash it from TWRP or CWM.
Note that the stock kernel nukes CWM on first boot. I assume you don't have root. Do this:
1. Connect the N7 to your PC. [you should have debugging enabled in dev options]
2. Open an adb shell and type this: mv /system/recovery-from-boot.p /system/recovery-from/boot.p.bak
3. ???
4. Profit
[If you do have root, open a file manager, remount /system as read/write and rename /system/recovery-from-boot.p to something.]
Click thanks if I helped!

That's why I was hoping to find the JOP40D stock kernel as a flashable zip. But I'll give the boot. I'm a shot. Thanks again!

stock flashable 4.1.2 kernel for grouper(put up by faux as a "reset" kernel) http://faux.androidro.ms/grouper-faux123-reset-kernel-4.1.2.zip (should be fine on 4.2.1)
flashable in twrp or cwm recovery. no hoops to jump through flashing or after flashing this. it doesnt nuke your recovery.

[Q] Replace the ROM but keep stock recovery

I'd like to enable the encryption, and I've been told you need stock recovery for that. How can I root the N4 and install CM10.1 but keep the stock recovery, and encryption working? To add extra complexity, I only have access to OS X 10.8.2 at home and at work.
Thanks!
PS: Please make this n00b friendly.

Not sure about the encryption part, that would be the first time I have ever heard that. Why you would need a stock recovery? But you can fastboot boot recovery instead of fastboot flash the recovery.

I believe that is incorrect. You can fastboot boot recovery instead of fastboot flash recovery then flash whatever you want afaik anyway. I have never used fastboot boot for anything other then to flash the su zip but i see no reason why it wouldnt work. The real question is why would you want to?

I want to have the full encryption enabled since this is a work device but. I heard it doesn't work with custom recovery.

I have been told twrp does support it thou its still untested. The dev doesn't have a nexus 4 to test with but he did say it works on the n7
regardless thou, all that would mean is you might not be able to backup a rom thats encrypted if twrp don't work. It has nothing to do with anything else. you cant make a backup on a stock recovery anyway

Nexus 4 lag after kernel restore

Hi Everyone,
I have stock rom with franco kernel. Yesterday I reverted back to stock kernel and noticed that it lags now when I wake it from the unlock screen. I did a factory reset, but the lag is still there. This was never there when I had it from the begining. Should I flash the factory image?? Can the backup stock kernel get corrupted?

Try _motley's reset kernel, it restores other files that may have been changed too

after using franco kernel, you have to reflash your rom then kernel. franco kernel hides tweaks inits ramdisk. flashing another kernel on top will not change this ramdisk, so you have to flash your rom first(no wiping anything).

As I stated above...can I just fastboot then flash the factory image??

You can fastboot flash the OEM boot.img; I'm guessing you fastbooted Franco's kernel?

Flash this reset kernel which has the INITFRAMS.
all will be ok.
You don't have to reflash the whole phone.

Could you clarify this for me, If in the future I need to do it? So, after leaving franco kernel, i.e. If I'm using franco kernel and wanna go back to completely stock again; before flashing stock I'll need to re-flash the current rom that I'm using, to re-flash the rom's kernel and this way replace the ramdisk to the stock from rom? If I'm wrong, please correct me; you guys are awesome!

yes, kinda. reflashing your rom will replace francos ramdisk. all the other kernels use anykernel, so dont have ramdisk included. generally, its only after using franco kernel do you want to do this, the other kernels you can flash right over each other. anykernel kernels grab the available ramdisk. theres plenty of stock/aosp rooted roms here on xda, any of them should work for you.

you have made alterations to your phone so its not longer stock. the file you are flashing is for a stock rom and to be flashed in a stock recovery. to flash the update simply re-flash a stock recovery and allow the update to go through. you can also simply wait and flash an updated custom stock rom.
