I have paranoid android installed on my nexus 7 and want to go back to stock. I've tried the toolkit and everything connects OK so drivers are fine but when the cmd prompt comes up it just says something along the lines of ready to reboot your newly flashed device. But there is no installation process shown and the nexus just stays on the bootloader screen. When I reboot it manually everything is exactly as it was. Any ideas what's going wrong?

Instead of relying on toolkits has it crossed your mind to do it the foolproof correct way? By following the tutorials in the stickies and using the proper utilities?

Good for you. But the non toolkit way is scary for newbies. There are so many ways and what works for one (Nexus 7 2012)is apparently not the way for another (Nexus 7 2013). And finding the "correct" image to use is another daunting hurdle for the newbie lost in all the code names (grouper, tilapia, etc).
Where can I find a "complete" how to that does not assume the newbie knows what would be obvious to the experienced user.

The stickies. Learn the terminology and understand what you are doing to your device.
Being a noob is not a free pass. Learn it just like everyone else had to.

Thanks, that's helpful
I'm using Tapatalk to read this thread. So I went to the top of this forum to look for stickies. Guess what?

First choose a forum, Like the 'Nexus 7 General'. Then you will have the choice at the top to choose the 'Stickies' for that forum.
That's funny. I see the thread right there. Flashing a factory image thread has more info than just flashing an image. Maybe you should read the stickies. There is a reason they are stickied.
Laziness is not an excuse to not do your homework on your device. You can also use this thing called Google to search for terms you don't understand. Remarkable that all the info is out there already you just have to read and comprehend.

and i need to downgrade to root my phone
and i found this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912
but i dont really understand
is there an easy way how to donwgrade my phone?
or can i root my phone even thoug its 2.3.4
hopefully someone can help me
Thank you PPL
If you don't understand what's in the guide - you have no business rooting your phone.
Step 1: Read.
Step 2: Read.
Step 3: Install ADB.
Step 4: Understand that if you screw up your phone it is no one'd fault but you.
Step 5: Download all files needed in that guide. (That may be harder than you think)
Step 6: Follow that guide VERY carefully and copy/paste to avoid errors.
Jack_R1 wasn't being a jerk. He was stating a simple fact. If you can't follow instructions it would be better for you not to unleash the power of superuser access. Its kept from the standard user for a reason.
I agree with previous posters, don't do anything until you understand what you are doing from start to finish cause you may not have the option to quit in the middle if you get confused.

I had my phone for 3 months, doing nothing but reading and more reading before I finally decided to root. Be patient and just READ EVERYTHING, more than once at that. Youll eventually burn all that info into your brain and itll become second nature soon enough

Dude, don't root it, if you don't know exactly what to do. Well lets just say you'll have a very nice, shiny paperweight
Yeah if you don't understand it, than don't try to do it anyway you'll just end up with a Bricked phone...

here's another page for ya to check out for downgrading and rooting your phone... it is specific to the Glacier. The guys (and gals) over at TeamDouche did a really good write up here.

I searched YouTube vids till a found vid of same methiods that worked for multiple people. Also watch for someone who started unrooted then rooted during vid

Hi, Please dont get offended by this post
I have been on XDA forum for long time, I have never seen such a messed up forum the way SII's is.
Just got a SII, thought of flashing it, been lurking around in all the sub forums, there is too many information which is confusing. It is impossible for a person to flash his SII in a day, I have already spent three days trying just to find best possible way to root, even that seems tough now, cant it be made simple as it was on windows phone.. If all the developers can post files required for rooting along with their Rom in a seperate link, on the same page, it will be easier. Right now its like 'you can use my tyres for your car but you got to look for someone to fill the air some place else'. Sorry but this is what it really looks like!
It's simple really. Flash a rooted kernel an then you have root.

Sorry to say but..... this is just lazyness. Too easy to do it. On my first day of using the Galaxy S II, my first Android phone [I was using a Nokia N95-8GB], I've already got root, I've been able to delete crap from /system/app. Didn't take 3 days, and no dev will spend time writing a noob-guide of how to root, it's a basic thing where every Android user should do, and there are plenty of guides of how to root, and they are very easy. I think people should let the lazyness away and search for it, not writing useless threads complaining it's very hard.
Agree with the above. Rooting was the easiest part of starting to install a custom rom onto your galaxy s2
Funny though, how only you have a problem with rooting and everybody else is getting by somehow...
Have you tried looking in the sticky rollup, how about the huge guide on how to root your device?
If you take a moment to look at the stickies, everything you need is right there
Is the OP really complaining about too much documentation?
Whoa.
In 5 minutes you can have root, custom rom and kernel installed... :good:
Flash custom kernel (Siyah for example) via Odin to get root, recovery...
Download any custom rom, put it on internal SD, wipe (if needed) and flash it via recovery...

New users are like this:
2 minutes to read instructions/download kernel and odin + 15 seconds to set PDA and press start + 10 seconds to flash + 20 seconds to boot the phone + 1 day wondering wtf is the Superuser app.
I can symphathise with you, when you 1st get to this forum it is a bit confusing, but what i did was just find a thread with Root and Firmwares in one and its been smooth sailing since. Just take some time off and read the stickies.
Failpost is fail.
It is hard on start. Read at least the stickies and 10 first threads of major subforums. Above links are also great for rooting. If you want a universal method for your ics phone, just look at the guide linked in my signature

Lazy OP! Wish you were with a HTC phone and said those words, it would be close to legit then!
With Samsung, and it takes you more than 3 days just to root? Pure BS!
Anyways, to answer your Q, flash any CF-kernel matching your firmware! And flash your preferred ROM!
Ok that's enough OP bashing....
I'll just leave this here........

Thank you very much
First thing, wrong section to be posting this. Second, you should read up long and hard before trying stuff you don't know about. Third, it's almost impossible to brick your nexus 7 because you can usually recover any android device through fastboot.

first off use this toolkit to fix your tablet. This toolkit has everything you need.
With the above program you can insure that your rooted and unlocked. And use TRWP not CWM as your recovery.
P.S. do you know how to get into fastboot mode?
hold volume down and power it on, when it comes up you'll know. use the volume to select which mode.
i Try it
Good lord. Please stop modding your device.
Hey guys, I'm having the same problem with OP, my problem now is it return to the stage before it flash after it flashed. Which means that it shows that it is successfully flashing the stock rom, but when it reboots, it didn't. It goes back to the stage where the rom was before it was flashed. Anybody help please?
I know it can be irritating, but I wish the indignation could be dialed back around here.
I have seen the spam from this poster, yes he should quit the over posting. But to tell someone just to go away and stop, well, I feel differently.
Stay, learn. But research first, you know? And post once then wait for a reply.
As you can see, your current tactics are just making the natives restless.
Being an ESL noob isn't a crime, maybe this person will end up developing the ROM you run next year.
I thought Linux was some sort of specialized hardware earlier in this calender year.
Hey guys,
I've rooted a couple of devices before (G2X, Galaxy S2, Optimus S). However, this is my first Nexus device. I'm really loving this phone and want to use it to its full potential. I'm been researching alot on how to root it but I keep seeing numerous ways and different advice. I know I have to unlock the bootloader first then install drivers. However, I've NEVER unlocked a bootloader before and I keep getting errors with installing drivers.
I'm pretty sure I'm going to get flamed for asking this (Which is fine, to each his own), but would somebody please give me an easy straight forward way to root this phone? I would greatly appreciate it. So far the videos on youtube dont actually show you how its done (they only show clips of the process already done). I'm currently on stock 4.2.2 version.

If you use a toolkit, you learn NOTHING. Don't fall into that trap.

thanks guys for the help!!! i really appreciate it. im loving the dev support for this device.
This is my first post here on XDA, I've been a ghost for quite some time reading through numerous threads. Such a wealth of knowledge her . Hopefully as time progresses, I'll be able to help others!
This all began with Pokemon go.
I recently rooted my Samsung galaxy note 3 using Arabic by Ali. It was the only root tool that I could get to work. Now that I'm rooted I've embarked on the mission of getting Xposed framework setup on my device. I've searched for numerous hours both here on XDA and Google and have yet to find the info I'm needing, I'm new to the android rooting, and modifications (I taught myself all the iPhone jail breaking and mods but I'm stumped on the android is, for now.)
I'm not sure what ROM was used, if any honestly. When I boot my phone it does say custom with the unlocked lock. I've attached a screenshot of my about phone and ROM manager.
Wheres my beat starting point to getting Xposed to operate on my device, and be stable? I've read that there are a few work arounds to avoid boot loops and force closures, but I can't find a decent written guide into this. Or even what files I need. Trying to avoid any bricks, and want to fully know what to do before embarking on this task.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Both applied for note 3, depending on firmware you're using.
If 5.0, first one. But beware deodexed only. So stock rooted firmware won't work.
If 5.1.1 or 6.0.1, second one.

I am on 5.0.
I've been reading into how to deodex my stock ROM, but I've read a few different guides that are different. Is there a reliable way to safely deodex my current?

All credit goes to them and dont forget to press their thanks button.
Make sure you are rooted, download the neccessary file then flash it using flashfire. Simple as that.
OK, so I'm not sure what's going on or if I'm doing this properly. What steps do I need to do withing flash fire?
I set wipe to clear cache and dwlvik, than flash a zip or ota and selected the zip file. Click the flash button the phone powers down, and I cannot get it to power back up unless I remove the battery. I'm not entirely sure if I messed up or if its flash fire that messed up.
Sorry for all the questions. Android rooting and all are completely new to me.
Android system modding is a lot different from iOS ?
Got it to work finally! Thank you both for the links and help! Glad to finally have Xposed working as it should!
