Hello, thanks for the post.
I got a brand new Nexus S, I got a update direct from Google so I just flash it to GRJ22 :-(. I follow your guide (I have to do the step 1/2 in the other post you refer). Now I got clockwork done. But everytime I restart my phone, I always boot into clockwork. I try to 'mount sdcard' and reboot, but still boot into clockwork. How can I boot into the stock ROM?
many thanks!!
Too complicated.
Just:
1. turn on phone by holding volume up + power to go to bootloader
2. fastboot oem unlock (confirm it on the phone)
3. fastboot flash recovery recoveryfilename.img
4. Select recovery on the phone.
5. You're in ClockworkMod. Go flash a new ROM.
Let me answer myself.
I don't think the latest rom 2.3.4 is compatible with the clockwork you supplied. So I have to flash my phone back to GRH78. I downloaded the stock ROM from the internet. and then push all the images file into /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2010.xxx.
Next, I restore the image in clockwork menu.
after restore, reboot the phone, now I am back in business.
When the phone is boot, i lost the root again, so i went to modaco.com and get Paul's package. run it, restart, I got the root.
Finally, go to market place and get ROM Manager, install the clockwordmod. and I have a 'proper' phone.
although I don't have the least rom, at least i got a working phone that is rooted.

I have the same problem. How did you handle it?
Wow, why risk messing up your phone with flashing a boot.img when you can just rename /etc/install-recovery.sh to something like /etc/install-recovery.bak?
Here's one way to rename (courtesy of Matridom). Another is to use Root Explorer.
Matridom said:
The new update applies the install-recovery.sh script into our phones (not there previously.
Boot into the bootloader
flash CWM
select recovery from the bootloader (DO NOT reboot the phone)
apply the su binary
boot into the OS and test root
make sure busybox is properly installed
run ADB shell
then:
Code:
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.bak
Boot back into the bootloader and re-flash CWM, should stay permanent now.l had applied the SU binary at the same time as the OTA update, then renamed the installer script and flashed back CWM.

This is a totally unorthodox way to make the custom recovery permanent. If your phone is messed up, good luck fixing it.
There is a much easier and safer way like I mentioned.
PS: flashing recovery for 2.3.4 is the exact same as for 2.3.3!

I am sorry but not all people can successfully use Command Prompt to do so.
I cant use command prompt, as it says "Image cant be loaded".
So I had to use this method.
I search around the forum and seen this as a quite common problem,
so I decided to share it
Hope you understand.
Anyway, thanks for your method too Cheers

The CWM Recovery I supplied is version 3.0.2.5,
which is not compatible.
So I replaced with version 3.0.2.4.
You just download it at the link above and follow all the step again.
You should able to solve this problem

Wow people like to make things complicated. Why install an entire rom to get ride of a script?
if you can flash cwm, you should have some basic understanding of fastboot, adb and the search options in the forums. the answers are all there already.

No disrespect, I agree flashing recoverys should only be done after you understand how to use the tools to do it. there is no reason someone who is going to mod systems on their nexus shouldn't be able to use fastboot and adb properly. all the right drivers are in the sdk.

This is what I did.
I rooted my NS, which had 2.3.3
Used phone with stock 2.3.3 until I figured out which ROM I want to flash.
Before I flashed any ROM, did a Nandroid Backup through CWM.
Used the ROM for a few days, but when I saw that official update is ready for download for i9020A, did do a restore from the Nandroid backup I created.
Updated from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4, phone works fantastic, video chat also works great.
After update when I tried using any of the apps required SU permission, they didn't work. I tried installing a couple of .apk files, couldn't either install it or after installation it didn't work.
Thought let me try wiping my phone clean and start all over again, may be I will use a custom ROM again, downloaded ROM, went to ROM Manager to reboot into recovery, nothing happens.
Tried booting into Recovery option manually by pressing Volume Up and Power button, nothing happens but the Bot with an Arrow appears on screen.
So, I thought I will follow this procedure to reflash CWM to my phone and get it going. I was able to use the command FastBoot once, and suceeded pushing .img file to my phone but now whenever I try using the commands from my computer, this error message appears : "This application has failed to start becasue AdbWinApi.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem."
Why this error message if I have the sdk on my computer already through which I was once able to push .img file without any troubles?
Can anyone tell me what would be a possible solution?
Also, how can I fix this problem and get ClockWorkMod Recovery installed on my NS again?
How can I get stock recovery image on my phone if I want start all over again from scratch?
Thx a million.
Edit ::: I found the answer as to how to how to install CWM again. Thx anyways.
Other question still remains a puzzle... why am I not able to install certain programs or if did manage to install, can't run them?
I ran your method and I think I'm stuck at some step...
My phone now default boots into CWM 3.0.2.4
Recovery boots to a newer recovery I flashed.
How do I get my phone to default boot into the OS again?
Edit: nevermind, just downloaded the full 2.3.4 rom, extracted and flashed the original boot.img.

After installing the sdk and a platform, I have adb, but where is fastboot?
I was getting the same error as "Image cant be loaded". after hours of struggling I found that It's only because I was not in the same directory as the img file. silly eh?
hi,did you repaiar your phone,i have try everything but it just keep going in clockwork mode,if i than pres reboot now in clockworkmode it stays on google padlock
i realy need phone if you can help or someone else,than ....
just tried this method of window7 (thanks for the work) with cwm 3.0.2.4, but got the same result like the others in this thread: cant boot the android 2.3.4, the system is always booting into the cwm, no way out.
I don't think this tool works as it should.
:-(
EDIT:
I didn't realize that window7's tool would install the cwm into the boot-partition instead of the recovery-partition.
To get my boot partition back I downloaded the 2.3.4 firmware image from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056062 and extracted the boot.img from the zip.
with "fastboot flash boot boot.img" I restored my orginal boot partition an can boot into android again.
(fastboot is part of the android sdk)
I was running stock 4.1.1 rooted with NO cwm and I accepted the OTA undate two days ago. Now, I have SU still installed but nothing can obtain root permissions. I used Wugz toolkit to reflash su binaries through TWRP a few times and still no dice. Any thoughts?

Every time I reboot into recovery from the bootloader after flashing any recovery (except stock), it fails to boot into recovery. What happens is it shows the Google/Unlocked screen for a couple seconds, goes black (this is where it should enter recovery), but then shows the Google screen again and boots normally. I have tried this with two CWM recoveries and a TWRP recovery, both plugged into a computer and not. when flashing recovery it says OKAY. It seems as if something has gotten corrupted.
Before updating to 4.1.2 everything was working. To get the 4.1.2 update to install, I had to revert back to stock recovery and also revert back to the stock wallet app. Now 'su' is still a command, but it does not do what it is supposed to and no apps have root.

You can just root again and you will have root access.
I lost root too, so I just opened wugtoolkit and hit root. no unlock needed so no loss of programs either.

Any news about this. I stay in the same problem.
Here's my experience:
Stock ROM, rooted, custom kernel.
Got the notification for the 4.1.2 OTA update, so I did a nandroid backup in TWRP. Then I flashed back to the stock recovery and boot.img.
I was thinking that I might lose root, based on other's problems. Looked into installing Root Keeper by Voodoo. In the description it said the same feature is built into SuperSU. Problem was it's built into the paid version, which I didn't have (discovered this after it was too late). Installed 4.1.2 OTA. I lost root. My bootloader was updated to 3.41. I also was not able to flash a recovery. Fastboot flash would not work, Wugs toolkit didn't work. Tried several methods. After reading several threads that have been pretty active for the last few days, here's what finally worked for me. Found it in another thread, which I can't find at the moment.
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-grouper-3.34.img from the JRO03D factory image
fastboot flash recovery TWRP img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
TWRP recovery started up :laugh:.
flashed SuperSU to re-root, it was sucessful.
updated busybox binaries.
installed OTA rootkeeper, so hopefully this won't happen again.
I'm not really sure I want to try flashing the 3.41 bootloader.
What a pain in the A.
Now it's time to flash faux kernel.

Would that image work ok for Galaxy s3? Or there is no difference at all, just matter the 4.1.2 android version?
Cuz i updated my device throught Kies (cuzz from the device itself it didnt allow, stating that the image has been modifyied :angel: ) and after that even with the persistent mode on Super SU the root is gone
Hi,
Last night i was playing with my N4 (with some root applications) and an app asked for a reboot. I just pressed yes so that the phone will reboot (I have done this earlier without any issues). Suddenly the device doesn't boot up. My N4 is stuck at a black screen. While trying to boot up, the Google logo appears and then a black screen. It doesn't advance to the 'X' logo. I'm running on stock, rooted phone (used N4 toolkit by Wugfresh to root).
I'm able to boot into recovery although. I tried all the possible means, wiped cache, dalvik cache, did a factory reset, backed up the system and tried to restore the same. Nothing happened.
Then i tried the "Back to Stock" option in the N4 toolkit and chose the option "Soft-brick/Bootloop" to recover my N4. These are what happened:
Downloaded the 4.2.2 image from Google servers and tried to flash in the device with prior instruction from the toolkit. Everything went fine until the flashing process. In the last step the CMD window opens up saying it is unrooting and flashing stock and immediately it'll bring up a complete message saying the flashing is complete and to wait until the device boots up. But nothing happens again.
I tried the automatic flashing and on the downloading window it saying download failed and hash checks failed meaning its not downloading.
I searched all the possible threads in a day to find a similar problem but in vain. I'm not a noob but i'm too lazy . But i would do anything to bring my N4 back to life. Anyone please show me a direction.
In short:
Status: Soft-Bricked (guess so), black screen after Google logo
Version: Stock 4.2.2 (rooted+busybox+supersu+twrp)
Able to boot to recovering: Yes, bootable to recovery and bootloader.
Tried Nexus toolkit recovery: Yes but in vain.
Gave up: No and never, I'm searching and searching for answers and I'm worried if I'll end up in a hard brick. :crying:
Guys, please help.
Thank You!

I'm just taking a wild guess here - I'm not responsible if anything bad happens, and you might want to wait to someone else seconds my suggestion in any case (although I can't imagine things getting worse as long as you flash N4 stuff). But have you tried flashing a new boot.img/reset kernel from recovery or via fastboot/toolkit?

Err...nope I haven't tried any and will wait until someone seconds you. Meanwhile I have wiped off the ROM through the option in recovery. Still will I be able to do what you said? Also if could direct me to a "how-to" thread would be great. Just that I don't wanna mess up again.
Also, is there a way to transfer a ROM to N4 through fastboot? So that I can install the ROM through TWRP.

No, my suggestion would require that the ROM is still on the phone, so you should restore your ROM prior to my suggestion. And I'm by no means an expert (therefore the disclaimer), but I *think* that since it's a bootup problem, it could be solved by flashing a new boot.img (which is essentially flashing a new kernel to the system).
But yeah, let's see if others think this might help, haven't researched it, is at work right now. Just throwing in a suggestion, that's all...

I *think* (again, I'm totally not sure about this, as I haven't tried it) that you can sideload a ROM via zip file from recovery, but since I haven't tried it I'm not sure - can anybody confirm???
EDIT: Chromium's suggestion is better, by pushing the ROM.zip to the device and flashing from recovery (check md5 first, just in case).

Yes there is. Your nexus is not bricked and this is why you shouldnt use toolkits to do things. This is honestly an extremely easy and simple fix. Use adb to push a rom onto the n4.
Code:
adb push \path\to\rom.zip /sdcard
Boot into recovery, do a full wipe, and flash the rom.
You said you downloaded the Google images.
Just boot your phone into the bootloader and run the flashall.bat that is in the Google image folder.
Note this will probably fully wipe you're phone in the process

That same thing happened to me once. I had to extract the google file and look for the 4 img files(bootloader, system, userdata, recovery) and flash them with toolkit manually and it fixed it, but it erased everything on my sd
I tried to load the file "occam-jdq39-factory-345dc199.tar" into my phone using the ADB sideload feature in the toolkit. I don't have the SDK installed hence I depended the tool again. But now the tool only loads .zip file and not .tar as the one that i downloaded. Am I doing it right?

K if you have a custom recovery installed, there isnt much you need to do to fix the issue.
First setup adb/fastboot by reading this
Then boot the phone into recovery, and plug it into the computer. Open a new command prompt window and use adb like this:
Code:
adb push \path\to\rom.zip /sdcard
Then you can unplug the phone. From recovery go to the install menu, find the rom that you just pushed, and flash it.

Thanks chromium :fingers-crossed:
Hey thanks guys, my device is back to normal. Chromium a special thanks for you for helping me out. See you guys with my next problem/queris!
Hello guys, first time posting here, I'm pretty sure it's a silly question, sorry if it is but I couldn't find the answer anywhere. I have an unlocked and rooted device, I installed the last 4.3 update this morning, and usually TWRP let me automatically fix the root just after install the update. But this time it just installed it and booted the tablet, and when I try to enter the recovery mode to fix the root in TWRP, I only see the droid with the exclamation mark.
So the problem is that I don't have root, and I cannot enter TWRP to fix it. TWRP went away with the latest update?. For entering the TWRP I pressed vol+ vol- and power and the pick recovery... is it correct?
Thank you in advance for the great community we have in android and sorry for my english
The same thing happened to me, I resolved it by:
- download a recovery image such as TWRP to a desktop/laptop and then flash it via abd
- now boot into recovery and flash SuperSU 1.51 or higher (1.55)
From what I read you probably did this once before. The 4.3 update overwrote your recovery image and root.

Same for me, Starting have some problems as I tried a "reboot to recovery" apk and got it stuck in the bootloader screen and it wasnt going anywhere.. still had TWRP but reflashing things wasnt working..
Used Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit to bring it back to life..
All good
I reflashed the recovery image and rooted again with Wug's Root Toolkit. All good!! Thank you for your answers guys!! Cannot find the way to put SOLVED in the thread title...

Nice that it is solved but please do nog use toolkits anymore. I respect the effort and time people take to make them but learning fastboot is just way better. Maybe harder but hard work pays off. Almost everyone will tell the same.
For people who want to use fastboot:
1. Flash custom recovery via fastboot.
2. Boot into recovery.
3. Flash latest supersu.
You can put solved in the title by edeting it.

Good time . I have a similar problem : after a recent update missing root. I tried to flash a custom recovery by fastboot, but the process hangs at downloading recovery.img to nexus. I tried using other drivers and a different version of fastboot, but to no avail.
Ps: by same drivers and fastboot I got the root before.
I was able to flash an EVGA ROM successfully and also Shaky156's CWM recovery. Primary reason was to get rid of Chinese notifications completely. Problem is that I cannot get the 1.1 OTA update to install because of the CWM recovery. I tried to flash stock recovery via fastboot but was not successful. Tried different versions even the BAT_CWM_recovery but it won't accept any except Shaky's version. Also tried the Super Tool but it won't recognize the tablet. I have previously installed the SDK and can get fastboot to run. Will try version 1.5 if it works.

fastboot erase boot
then... as an example
fastboot flash boot boot.img
or
fastboot erase recovery
then... as an example
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Make sure you are cautious never to loose fastboot ability. Other words if your bootloader can't be obtained from restarting and hold buttons down, then make sure you don't restart till you get a successful flashing. Always have the system ADB enabled and certified with the computer.

Did what you said but still no stock recovery installed. When I reboot after erasing the old recover and flashing the stock instead of going to recovery it just boots up. Looks like the recovery never gets flashed. I did check if the tablet is being recognized by the computer before any flashing. After flashing the stock recovery it says okay so I don't know what's happening.

Yes, tablet is unlocked. Says so when I boot into the bootloader. I have flashed Shaky's CWM and it installed fine. Don't know why the tablet does not like the stock recovery. Even tried BAT-cwm recovery but also failed to install. I'll just have to wait for someone to come up with a flashable ROM if the Kitkat update comes around.

Do your best to get Bat_recovery for the recovery parititon and the 4.3.1 boot.img for the boot partition, shared on my Tegra Note Discoveries thread. Never flash the bootloader partition unless you are really know what you're doing. Then possible flash the system partition with Tom's system.img with;
fastboot erase system
fastboot flash system system.img
Tom's image should patch and is an English styled setup so you get all the Google Apps, etc.

Here's what I did:
1. Erased the system and flashed the 4.3plus system zip.
2. Erased the boot image and flashed the 4.3plus boot image.
3. Erased the recovery and flashed the bat recovery.
4. Rebooted and got stuck on the Tegra Note screen. (flashing on and off).
Tried to experiment and flashed another boot image and this time got stuck on the Tegra Note screen but this time it was not flashing on and off. Turned it off but nothing happened, Pressed the key combination to boot to the bootloader mode but failed. I thought I bricked it and then tried to go the the apx mode and was successful. This time I pressed the bootloader key combination and thankfully was successful. I thought I bricked the tablet.
Is there a way to flash the 4.2.2 ROM? Read somewhere that someone flashed the old ROM and the stock recovery. Once done he was able to update to 4.3plus. I thought there was a flashable 4.2.2 ROM at rootjunky.com but when I clicked on the link I got an error message saying that the file does not exist. I asked the poster where he got the ROM and recovery but never got a reply.
I'll try to flash the 4.3 ROM back

have you tried extracting the Rom and nvflash into the same folder and running the "download.bat" to fix this? I haven't found a nvflash that works with tegra note 7

Don't know how to do that.
I've managed to flash a 4.2.2 ROM (tried the deodex version first) but not the stock recovery. Funny thing is that only Shaky156's version can be flashed. The big problem with the ROM is that there's no wifi and that sucks big time. It means I can't update the the firmware. Will try to flash the odex version and see the wifi works. There's no access to the files too. Good thing the bluetooth works.

pls, what recovery works best with the homecare tegra note? prefarably one that allows backup/restore with external sd card

so did the odex$.2.2 work fine or what solution did you use? And where did you get your 4.2 rom ?

The no wifi problem is endemic of a broken/mismatched boot.img to system version. Get an original (eg EVGA version) boot.img not a modified rooted version, since SuperSU sideloaded will give proper root later on top of an original boot.img.
I have boot.img shared on Tegra Note Discovery thread.
Try using rootjunkie supertool and get new kit kat or flash another ROM very easy to use

ok, thanks. And have you finally fixed your wifi issue? I'm on 4.3+ deodex and mine doesn't even rotate the screen

Are these the files that you're referring to?
TegraNote_bootimg_4p4rip.zip
TegraNote_bootimg_4p3p1rip.zip
I tried flashing the deodex version of 4.3+ and then flashed the boot image (from TegraNote_bootimg_4p3p1rip.zip) but I still get no wifi.

No luck. I tried what e8hfff suggested but still got no wifi. I used to have a Korean version of the Galaxy S3 and I could flash the modded ROMS made for the international version only if it is converted. Some guy came up with a converter and you flash it after you have flashed the modded ROM. We might have to get something similar if we want to flash EVGA ROMs.
Right now I'm not that concerned with getting the Kitkat update since there's something wrong with it (write to SD card). Once they have come up with an update to correct the bug then I'll give it another try. SO for now, I'll stick to the 4.3 ROM.

Yes try, TegraNote_bootimg_4p3p1rip.zip first as I haven't tested the 4.4 boot.img, and only use the boot.img within as there is another directory of the uncompress boot.

Does shaky156's version have a working wifi or any rom at all, (even 4.2) that has wifi, my TN7 is next to useless without it
