[Q] Is TWRP ui.zip flashable ? - Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently flashed a TWRP theme which looked good but is too small now that I got to see it. So I tried flashing the default/standard ui.zip file under folder /TWRP/theme/ui.zip but it doesn't revert back to the good ol' TWRP screen. I also tried to delete the ui.zip file but all I get is "permission denied".
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

You can always try reflashing the recovery, I believe it will do the work well for you .

Just did that but the issue still persists -I cannot get back to the original TWRP screen with the big buttons.
Thanks for the suggestion, though.

I imagine you can also try deleting your TWRP folder (remember to backup it first!) and try reflashing later, then copying the files back without the theme. What do you think about this?

Won't boot in what way? Can you get into fastboot and/or recovery? Since you're asking about CWM, I'm assuming you can get into it.
If you did a Nandroid backup (the main point of CWM for me), you could try just restoring it. If you didn't, I'd try a wipe all settings and then reboot. You should be able to get back to a virgin state on the main OS that way.
I can get into it, the problem is i erase all data on my phone. Thanks in advance!
???
Is there any way i can get my phone back up and running restoring everything from clockworkmod?

I'm still confused what your problem is.
You say the phone won't boot, but then you talk about erased data.
What exactly did you do to the phone? What was the last few things you did before you "broke" it?
What happens when you try to boot the phone (ie., it's powered off and you press the power button)? How far in the boot process does it go?
If your problem is that the phone boots but all your data is gone, there's no way to get back unless it auto-syncs down from Google, or you used a backup program like Titanium, or you made a nandroid backup in CWM.
If you made a nandroid, you should just be able to boot into CWM, select backup and restore and then restore your backup.
This is what happened....
I tried to replace my fonts in system that are supposed to work on a different phone. Then when i tried to boot up the phone was stuck on the silver google logo. Now, after that i went into clock work recovery and formated everything in the mounts and storage menu. After reinstalling the phones boot img, my phone freezes at the google logo. I can still get into the clockworkmod recovery. I never backed it up, but tried to use a nandroid someone posted online but i get a md5 mismatch.
Again, thank you for all your help!

The Modaco rom(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=883985) should work just fine. Put it on the USB storage then in Clockwork go to "Install from zip."
i have a problem almost like that but my rom manager open but wont even backup current rom or anything, my titanium back doesn't backup either. it said i could not acquire root privileges, this app will not work, please vertify that you rom is rooted and includes busybox, i have busybox and it's rooted. i guess this happen when i update the google update last night from rom manager. what should i do

Known issue. There is a thread in the Development section(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884499). The OTA "broke root."
Ouch. Now I understand.
In the future, always make a nandroid backup before messing around with things, easiest way to recover.
I see you're looking for help in this thread. Maybe they can help you.
You could also try flashing Doc's or Paul's roms also in that section.

Did you wipe/factory reset before attempting to install? I realize that you're pretty much wiped at the moment, but always best to start with that.

You've tried another NAND backup, besides the one that MD5 mismatched, yar? Be careful not to rename it, as that can cause the mismatch.
Nope
Nope i didnt try any...
Do i have to rename it to update.zip?

The custom rom? No, you just go into recovery, wipe/factory reset, install from SD card, then navigate to where you put the .zip on the SD card.
I see you did try the 2.3.1 NAND backup in the development section. Try downloading it again on your PC, unzip it, then place the new folder on the clockworkmod's backup folder on your SD card. Again, do not rename it.
Im trying it now.

Be warned that if you do get the NAND to restore, you may lose clockwork recovery. I know I did when I first tried to use it.
Don't panic though, because you can fastboot flash clockwork back on from the bootloader.

oh come on, a few minutes of searching would have enlightened you.
if you downloaded the update: rename file to update.zip, put in root of your device, boot into recovery mode and install through it.
Danke, i tried to search "FLASH ZIP" but there were sooooo many topics unrelated (like flashing custom roms ecc)

Why after flashing clockwork (and made a nandroid backup) when i access recovery screen stays black?!?

because OTA has a script that reinstalls stock recovery every boot.
The black screen is because the ics recovery for 9023 does not turn backlight on, a bright light should show it up.
To stop the recovery reinstall you need to rename /ect/recovery-from-boot.p and /system/install-recovery.sh

rename in something like file.old.p or something specific?

Uh oh... Can I fix this? Rom Toolbox Pro error

Hey guys,
I tried using Rom Toolbox Pro to change my battery icon... after trying to install, the error "com.android.systemui has stopped working" continually popped up. I had to reboot by holding vol+, vol- and lock.
After rebooting, all soft buttons and the status bar are gone. I can't manage to get them back. I also can't manage to restore the battery icon - RTP prompted me to backup the icons before trying to install the new ones, and I did.
What have I done?
You've borked the system UI. Need to flash a new ROM or flash a factory image, I think.

So I went to restore my backup through CMW, it failed. Now I'm stuck on the Google screen. How do I flash it back to stock, in order to start all over again? I can get to the CMW page with the Android on his back, with "Start" up the top.
Appreciate any help!

That's not the clock work recovery. It's the bootloader. That's where you need to be to flash the image though.
First download the Nexus 7 image from https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#nakasijro03d
Once you have downloaded it extract the file twice until you see image-nakasi-jro03d.zip
Take that zip and move it to the directory where you have fastboot on your computer.
Open your command prompt pointing at that directory.
Then, type:
Code:
fastboot devices
if it returns a number you are good to go.
Next type:
Code:
fastboot -w update image-nakasi-jro03d.zip
This will wipe your user data and restore stock recovery. But you should be good to go.
geez, just reflash your rom, youll be ok.

haha sorry if my posts were a bit over the top, I was just sitting in bed having a play (with my Nexus 7........), then all of a sudden my tablet is seemingly wrecked simply from trying to change the battery icon... I FREAKED
Did something similar myself.
Just downloaded the factory image and flashed just the system.img file using fastboot and rerooted. A few system apps played up, most were fixed by wiping the cache but i had to delete all data from the contacts app, it resynced fine anyway.
To clarify extract the factory image to get the system.img and use the following
fastboot flash system system.img
Just rewrites the system partition.

The same thing happened to me trying to change the wifi icon. I guess Rom Toolbox doesn't play well with the Nexus 7?
Same thing on Galaxy Nexus... stumbled upon this thread searching for a solution. Was thinking we could restore from the backup that was made when swapping icons, but I guess that's not the case?

Hello friends,
I am curious why, when such issues occured with your device, you did not contact Rom Toolbox Dev. to ask for help?
I am part of the support team from Rom Toolbox Pro, and I believe the post right before me is from someone who reached out to me to ask me about this, so allow me to explain the solution here real fast:
What happened is that when you changed the icon, it simply didn't work and messed up the UI. This occurs sometimes, and is the right time to restore a backup of the icons.
Problem is that now you can't restore, because the soft keys are all gone, and the Nexus 7 has no hard keys to do the dirty work.
So, here is the solution; you must use Root Browser to switch out the Systemui.apk and framework.apk files from the backup folder to the /system/app folder.
Where is the backup stored, you ask? Well, since it's very easy to break a rom by restoring the framework and systemui to the wrong rom, the backups are actually placed inside the app's data partition. This is to prevent tampering. If you are reading this post, then I assume you know what you're doing and are doing this with the EXACT same rom as the backups were created from.
The directory of the backups is /data/data/com.jrummy.liberty.toolboxpro/files/status_bar_backup/
Simply copy these over and paste them in /system/app, maybe renaming rather than deleting the old ones, just in case, then paste these and reboot your device.
And now your systemui and framework should be all restored.
Hope this helps! Be sure to contact the developer next time you need any help, We have arguably the best customer service of all the Play Store
And be sure to thank the one who referred me to this thread, if this helps!

Hi Master Ramy,
I was the one who emailed JRummy.
I'm not sure I understand what you're saying actually. I guess your reply answers the OP's question - that is, in the event that we get the "com.android.systemui has stopped working" error , then we should do the stuff you said?
My issue is different... I hadn't swapped out my battery icons yet, cos I wanted to test the restore function in ROM Toolbox first before doing so. So I backed up both systemui and framework-res using ROM Toolbox, then simply tried to restore them using ROM Toolbox. But I got a toast notification saying "failed to get icons". I didn't get a big error like the OP's, but it was alarming enough that I didn't even try to change the icons in the end.
Are you saying that I should manually move my systemui and framework-res backups to system/app in order for ROM Toolbox to be able to restore them?

A500 boot loop

Hi All
Wondering if i could get any help from you guys
Ok so i flashed my a500 a year or so ago with a new boot loader the twrp 2.1.3 and loaded a then upto date rom, so today thought i'd update it to ROM] [A500] Android 4.3 [CM10.2 Unofficial] Build 5, Put it on to my sd card booted into recovery wiped cache and and system then flashed the rom.
So it booted into the rom but i kept getting an error msg saying somthing was stopping, the only way i could get out of it was to hold the power button to switch off. I switched it back on only to get to the boot screen and not go any further.
So this is where it gets wierd, i downloaded another rom and flashed that only to get the same problem, I've now tried 4 or 5 different roms with the same boot loop.
So i can get to recovery and flash a new rom etc but cannot get any further
Does anyone have any help they could offer as Im stuck
Many thanks
Same issue. Updated TWRP to 2.6.3, no avail. I bet if you look at the logs in TWRP you'll see you're not able to mount any partition. Also there is another thread on here that has the same issue. I believe it to be caused by the 4.3 CM Rom, haven't figured out a fix for it yet but if you format EVERYTHING, reinstall the rom you can boot once, but any reboot will put you right back where you are.
Filemanager shows the files are still present in /system /cache /data, so I'm not sure what this points to.
Does look good then :crying:
You'd think that by being still able to get into recovery there would be a chance just to flash a different rom and it would sort it
Not sure what to do next now, was just looking around and was going to reflash my recovery and try then but looks like you have tried that
Really wished I'd left alone now
You'd think, but I'm betting this has to do with the partition table getting corrupted or something of that nature.

Haha welcome home MD, trust your sufficiently rested and ready to help out, lol! !
First off, is there a stock 501 update.zip or EUu around or can the 501'ers jyst use evil alex instead...any issues at all with alex? And would it run ok on the a500?
Babsector.rar file is becoming the goto for unbricking. Not sure if you've looked at it or know how it works but there are 2 bat files to run. Of late folks have just run the first one then wiped and flashed a rom without running the 2nd. With no adverse affects. Would u know the reasoning behind running the 2nd bat. Hate to think I've been putting folks wrong...eeek...
Its gr8 to see the 500's still popular as ever, judging by the flurry of 'help I'm bricked' posts lately. Unfortunately as u know I am no dev, so I haven't been able to help out with rom issues...hence my question earlier re: evil alex!
Anyways MD awsum to have u back helping out an keeping an eye on us all

Just FYI, this fixed both of my friends tablets (his and is his wifes ended up soft bricked after reboot). I'm suspecting this is TWRP's (2.1.3) fault but can't be sure. Even reinstalled the CM 10.2 rom and put it through several reboots, no problem now.

You need to look at /tmp/recovery.log while in recovery (adb pull it if you have to). Look in it for the last file that it tried to read before it gave the error. Your options are either delete that file or pull it then delete it. However, the file is corrupt in some way and the backup will never finish.
Sorry I a noob on this, I was able to get the recovery.log and Attached it but i dont have any idea where to find the error. Please help
thanks

I think It would be the " BASICDREAMS" but i cant seem how to delete it.. Would it be better to erase everything and start from the beginning? Im not sure what to do.

If you're fairly new to this then starting from a fresh install may be a better safeguard. However, you'll pick things up quicker if you determined enough. If you're simply wanting to remove the app BasicDreams, I went ahead and made modded a pre-existing flashable zip (all credit to Gizmo) just so you can remove that app. To use it, boot into recovery and flash it through there.
