Anyone having issues flashing new ROM to this Nexus? - Nexus 7 (2013) General

Thinking of upgrading soon to the 2013 model and wondering if anyone is having issues with flashing a custom ROM.

No. Flashing ROMs is just as easy as any other nexus device.
Once you have a custom recovery, just download a rom and flash or use GooManager or whatever method you like.

Need to go back to stock without a cable

Anyone willing to help me get this zip package I found in the Epic forum to run on a Nexus S 4g?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1027904
"epic4g.stock.recovery.ec05.zip
The Samsung stock recovery, for uninstalling ClockworkMod, useful for turning in the phone to Sprint.
Do not flash the stock recovery unless your phone boots into system, and you need to turn the phone in."
I recently broke my USB plug inside my phone and am only able to charge (even charging is going out). I think many people could take advantage of it when they are not in front of a computer to return to stock.
Thanks whomever is able to help
You had to go and make this post in two sub forums of the nexus s forums eh...
Don't install that, just flash a stock rom that's unrooted and it should over ride your custom recovery.

Does this apply to the Nexus S 4g?

I wasn't able to find any non-rooted stock rom's for the Nexus S 4G. Could anyone point me towards the right direction?
Try peter alfonsos website? One should be under "crespo4g" in the downloads section.

Neither of those sites contain a non-rooted stock ns4g roms. They only contain rooted roms and OTA updates which require stock non-rooted roms to use.
The one Sean posted are the ones you are looking for

The ones Sean posted only contain OTA incremental updates. I still need to have an unrooted stock from installed to use them. I've tried all variations using all the stock rooted roms from Pete and they do not update. Error parsing file each time.

Did you try the software image on peters site ? That's exactly what you need if I'm hearing you right. Not the rooted stock ROMS but the image

Am I supposed to flash the image from CWM because my USB port is damaged and can't run adb.

I know what tour talking about. When I had my epic they had a non ROOTED stock rom that was flashable via cwm then the had a stock recovery that would remove cwm which was also flashable through cwm

I'm not sure if that's what you need to do , I thought you just wanted the image and you knew how to do the rest. I don't want to tell you something that might just brick your phone

ROM Manager should have your stock GB to download and flash. You would then be unrooted when you are done. It always works for me.
Here is the ns4g 2.3.5 full ota rom: http://android.clients.google.com/p...882446e0.signed-sojus-ota-138666.504d8824.zip. This will unroot you and return you to the stock rom and recovery.
This will not re-lock your bootloader, though. In order to lock the bootloader without a cable, you'll to build a modified kernel to use Ezekeel's hack. (To state the obvious, this would require root access and a custom recovery, so you'd want to do this before flashing the stock rom .)

Thank you. I ended up flashing stock rooted from Pete, and with no questions asked, they handed me a refurbished one.

Can't start any Custom Rom

IT seems that any custom Rom I load just sits at the startup animation on first boot. None will Load. I can revert back to Stock without a problem.
Any Idea's?
You need to provide more info. Which stock version are you using? what bootloader version you on? What roms have you tried, and what are they based on (4.1.x, 4.2.x) ? CWM, or twrp?

Started with 4.2.2, used the nexus 7 tool kit to perform root, install recovery, etc. Using twrd 2.4 fir recovery. Smooth rim was the latest. Tried 2 others but the names escape me right now. I have rooted and loaded custom rooms on my last 3 phones so I am not s complete noob but am not an expert either

Stock recovery zip for att g2?

Hoping someone has a stock recovery zip for the att version of the g2. Have been looking but haven't found anything.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

****, I need this, too. I'm thinking that you need the stock recovery to use storage encryption for non-AOSP based ROMs... Any luck finding it elsewhere?
I found the stock recovery, but it didn't make a difference when trying to encrypt a non-AOSP ROM.

4.2.1 to 4.3 or 4.4?

Guys im using PA rom in android 4.2.1 and Im thinking of upgrading?what do I need to change? Do I need to upgrade my recovery? In order to flash custom roms for android 4.3/4.4?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
as i am aware you should update your bootloader, just to be sure everything works good, other than that you are good, just flash the rom via recovery, which i recommend you update
I seem to recall you had to update the radios as well going from .2 to .3

Losing root after flashing New ROM

I am currently rooted and running clean RoM 2.6
I have Franco kernel also.
Trouble is, whenever I wipe and flash a new Rom, I'm losing root.
Is this normal? Should I have to reroot every time I flash a new Rom? I have not had to do this on previously rooted phones I've had?
