Thanks!!! Do you happen to know the fastboot command? Or an instructional for this? Will I have to use stock boot loader and so on?

this is my favourite guide.
Follow this steps:
1. Fastboot mode.
2. Type:
Code:
> fastboot erase boot
> fastboot erase cache
> fastboot erase recovery
> fastboot erase system
> fastboot erase userdata
> fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-tilapia-4.23.img
> fastboot reboot-bootloader
> fastboot flash radio radio-tilapia-1231_0.18.0_0409.img
> fastboot reboot-bootloader
> fastboot -w update image-nakasig-jwr66y.zip
done!
Why download from random place when you get it officially from Google: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#occam
And if you open the package it has the bat script file that will run all the commands to flash the phone automatically, you just have to put it in fastboot mode and unlock the bootloader first, or you can read the script file and manually type in the commands.

How do I flash stock Android without deleting any of my apps/data/settings?
Do I need to skip or remove any of those lines from the script??
The process will wipe your entire device. You have to back up your stuff and move it out of your phone. You can use the Helium app to back up apps data, if you don't have root you also need to install this http://www.clockworkmod.com/carbon for it to work.
You could leave your data alone and only flash certain partitions though. Don't run the scripts, do it all manually. Skip "fastboot erase userdata" which will wipe your apps data. Also skip "fastboot -w update image-nakasig-jwr66y.zip".
Extract the *.img files from "image-occam-jwr66y.zip" and flash them manually, skipping userdata.img of course, the other three files you want to flash would be:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
However, depending on the Android version and configuration, you might run into issues by doing this.

You seriously rock. This helped me fix my 16GB Nexus 4 storage issue after flashing the full Android 4.2.2 image from Google's site. The available space was limited to about 5GB after. I assumed the image didn't partition it correctly. During the process I noticed my radio baseband wasn't at the correct version for 4.2.2 either so I updated that at the same time. (The radio wasn't updated properly in the first 4.2.2 update I ran.)

Thanks for sharing this fix! I was having the same available storage problem with my nexus 4 after installing android 4.3 from the Google Dev website following the instructions found here.
Any idea why applying the update from the zipped file results in the device recognizing the actual amount of available storage space, whereas following the directions from that thread doesn't? The only difference that I can see is that applying the update from the zipped file results in 'userdata' being formatted, which doesn't occur following the other thread's directions. Perhaps there's a way to manually format it?
Thanks a million for sharing this though!
Fastboot format userdata would format the userdata partition.

Nexus 7 was rooted,unlocked bootloader and was running paranoid anroid 3.90+ i think . i plugged it into the computer to get a new rom using nexus root toolkit v1.7.2. i was asked to update a few things, so i clicked yes. i then tried to flash stock + unroot and chose 4.3 cause i wanted to try the new OS. but i guess something happened because when i turned my nexus 7 back on i was stuck on the load screen (GOOGLE image with a unlocked lock) i could cycle thru a few options using volume keys (start,recovery,power off) .all of them seemed useless as they would just bring me back to where i was.when clicking start "booting failed" come up on the upper left side. when trying to flash stock +unroot using NRT i get up to the sending "bootloader" part and my nexus 7 just freezes, how do i fix this. please and thanks
download the factory image from the google factory image and extract the archive.
try flashing the bootloader manualy with fastboot.
locate your fastboot binary and copy the bootloader image to that directory.
open a commandline in that directory and type
fastboot flash bootloader name-of-bootloader.img
after that you can try to flash the whole factory image with the flash-all.sh script.
Simple

Boot failed??? That's a bad flash of the stock ROM. I had the same problem at my first attempt trying to flash Stock ROM, but don't worry! Let's do this:
WARNING: Before you continue you are accepting that I'm not responsible of anything can happen to your Nexus and your battery is fully charged.
When you download the stock ROM you have to uncompress the zip file. You will find the bootloader and another zip.
Uncompress that zip file, put fastboot program, the bootloader and the files together.
Then start your Nexus into bootloader mode, connect it to your PC, open a console (cmd for Windows, Terminal for Linux and Mac OS X) and type this:
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
WARNING: Your Nexus is FULLY EMPTY!!! Don't reboot it because it can get a full brick (It will not turn on any more).
Now type this:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-grouper-X.XX.img
NOTE: Replace X.XX with your version.
Now type:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Your Nexus will reboot.
Type this:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img #Will take a very long time. DON'T INTERRUPT THE PROCESS!!!!!
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
Now reboot again with:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Re-unlock bootloader to get a full wipe:
fastboot oem lock
Reboot again:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
And then unlock the bootloader:
fastboot oem unlock
Press "Yes" to the petition screen and reboot:
fastboot reboot
Ready the Nexus!
I had the same problem and I did this.
I hope I can help you.
Sorry for my bad English. I'm from Argentina and I'm learning.
Well,
Good luck!

what do i type into cmd inorder to be able to type

and get it to work. im a noob . thanks in advance
You have to be in the folder with fastboot inside else those commands will not work.
It will be easier if you put the images extracted from the zip into the zip together with the fastboot program.
If you don't understand yet I'll try to be more specific.

It can be intimidating... and the so-called tool-kits don't help you learn
I assume you are using Windows.
follow the unzip instructions from the previous poster. (not quoted here). note the directory.
find the directory containing your android tools... ADB.exe and FASTBOOT.exe.
transfer your unzipped files to this directory. Open your CMD prompt window and change to this directory if necessary.
plug in your Nexus.
type fastboot device at the prompt. MAKE SURE YOUR NEXUS 7 is listed (serial number)
proceed with the complete instructions from the previous poster.
that should do it.
YES!!!
thanks alot for the instructions, it worked!!! i hope people use ur instructions as reference if they have the same problem. THANKS ALOT!!!

Hello. My brother's Nex 7 is also has this issue. I cannot follow any of the steps as it gets stuck on erasing any of the partitions. I tried erasing those partitions in any order and they still get stuck. His device was stock and bootloader locked too. When I try to unlock the bootloader, it gets stuck as well at the erasing userdata part. I suspect a bad memory chip. Anyone else experience this?
Yes, mine is sticking on the (bootloader) erasing userdata on bootloader unlock as well.
It also sticks on any fastboot ERASE command.
Factory reset had a bunch of errors and no longer comes up. none of the FLASH commands work because the BOOTLOADER is locked.
And since it freezes on the unlocking bootloader commands I believe I am screwed.
This was a factory installed, never flashed, unlocked or rooted Nexus 7 wifi 2nd gen. After installing the 4.4.2 that popped up it loaded once then crashed and never loaded again
I have tried every tool I can find. They all stick on the erase part.

Send your device for repair. My brother did so. My suspicions were correct. A faulty chip. They replaced the whole board, according to my brother.

So I moved my Android zips off of my phone to make some extra room for Firefox OS. And when I was done playing with it I found out that the USB connection to get into the SD card does not work (another reason to have removable storage). I have Google_Nexus_4_ToolKit_v2.0.0 and tried everything I could think of in there. I dont know how to ADB except to put the phone into sideload mode and you use command prompt. I have CWM recovery on it. So any help would be awesome. I will take a good link or some step by step stuff. Thank you.

Calm down, there's solution.
1. Download Google Factory Image from here(4.3)
2. Extract it in your adb directory. You should see some files, but we oly need the radio.img, bootloader.img and image-occam-blabla.zip
3. Open a command window in your adb directory.
4. Reboot into bootloader and write the following code:
Code:
> fastboot erase boot
> fastboot erase cache
> fastboot erase recovery
> fastboot erase system
> fastboot erase userdata
> fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-blablabla.img
> fastboot reboot-bootloader
> fastboot flash radio radio-blablabla.img
> fastboot reboot-bootloader
> fastboot -w update image-blablabla.zip
5. The phone will reboot. Now u can use the toolkit to flash a recovery again (select 4.2.2 firmware) and starting rooting and flashing roms again.
Good luck! If u need any help just quote my comment so I get notified

Ok. So what I did was kinda following your setup here. I had to get the Android SDK first. Then extract that into C:/. Then I got the 4.3 like you said and extracted that C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130917\sdk\platform-tools. Then because of the new SDK I put the phone into the first 3-button mode. I then ran flash-all. And after a minute I had stock 4.3.
Well i'm trying to update my Nexus 7 2012 to Android 5.0.2, after receiving the OTA update but keep getting an error.
I rooted my Nexus 7, and been thinking that's the problem, since it restarts to install the OTA update but goes to Recovery mode, and when i try to manually install the file get the following error :
https://www.dropbox.com/s/dqjc2ztzfbkvnuy/IMAG0897.jpg?dl=0
Any tips or solution for the problem?

Thought you would say that! .
You can always:
- download the image for your device from the google nexus website I gave you
- unzip the tgz file
- Find the resulting tar file and unzip it
- you will now have a folder
- inside the folder will be a bootloader-grouper-4.23.img file, image-nakasi-lrx22g.zip file, flash-all.bat file and two .sh files
- unzip the zip file to the same directory as the bootloader-grouper-4.23.img file
- reboot your nexus into bootloader mode
- plug the nexus into your PC
- open a command prompt in the same directory as the image, sh and bat files (on windows 7 hold the shift key and right click on an empty space within the folder and choose open command window here)
- in the command window type fastboot devices, make sure device is recognized
- if not, set up your pc for adb and fastboot, if so, continue
- type in the command prompt:
fastboot erase boot <hit enter>
fastboot erase cache <hit enter>
fastboot erase recovery <hit enter>
fastboot erase system <hit enter>
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-grouper-4.23.img <hit enter>
fastboot reboot-bootloader <hit enter>
fastboot flash boot boot.img <hit enter>
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img <hit enter>
fastboot flash system system.img <hit enter>
fastboot reboot <hit enter>
This will preserve your app and data settings.
If you had custom recovery installed just reboot into fastboot and flash the recovery of your choice. example: fastboot flash recovery ,recovery image name>
If you want to reroot, download a superuser zip file to your device, reboot back into your custom recovery and then install the SuperUser zip of your choice (i.e. chainfire's SuperSu)
Hopefully this is straightforward and self explanatory
Thanks for the tip and explanation Skeetch79, will try to do like you wrote.

This method works great! I was in the same boat. I analyzed the updater script and then analyzed the ro.build.fingerprint from my system, and it doesn't contain the weird one that it errors out on. I debated just removing the build prop check and repackaging it as an update, but decided against it.
@lmcmil - per chance, did you flash a different kernel and/or switch to F2FS before this happened? If so, that might correlate to mine, since I did do that....
Either way, I'm gonna run stock again for a while and see how it feels.
EDIT:
I think these lines:
Code:
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/APP", "/system", "max_batch_time=0,commit=1,data=ordered,barrier=1,errors=panic,nodelalloc");
getprop("ro.build.fingerprint") == "google/nakasi/grouper:5.0/LRX21P/1570855:user/release-keys" ||
getprop("ro.build.fingerprint") == "google/nakasi/grouper:5.0.2/LRX22G/1649326:user/release-keys" ||
abort("Package expects build fingerprint of google/nakasi/grouper:5.0/LRX21P/1570855:user/release-keys or google/nakasi/grouper:5.0.2/LRX22G/1649326:user/release-keys; this device has " + getprop("ro.build.fingerprint") + ".");
are what causes it to explode. First, it tries to mount ext4 instead of F2FS, which makes sense, but would cause the system partition to be unreadable if you converted it to F2FS. That COULD explain the odd "deestroy" build prop it thinks it got when it pulled ro.build.fingerprint, since when my system was fully booted mine matched the stock LRX21P using getprop from adb.
toastido i tryied to load the OTA using the Nexus Root Toolkit and the error i got was regarding missing calculator, wich i removed after installing "Calculator ++" app
Still haven't had time to try this method, i'm working this weekend so only next week i can give it a try and post the result.

Good Man !!!
Thanks Very Much for that one,
I got stuck on the boot after performing the advised but a quick Cache Wipe sorted that out.
Once again Much Obliged !!!
Yeah forgot to mention the above. if you are stuck in a boot loop: shut down. reboot to recovery. wipe cache and dalvic. Reboot. Profit.

This will preserve your app and data settings.
If you had custom recovery installed just reboot into fastboot and flash the recovery of your choice. example: fastboot flash recovery ,recovery image name>
If you want to reroot, download a superuser zip file to your device, reboot back into your custom recovery and then install the SuperUser zip of your choice (i.e. chainfire's SuperSu)
Hopefully this is straightforward and self explanatory

Does this also work if I want to go back to Kitkat? I am asking, because I've tried the following:
Code:
@echo off
echo. listing devices:
fastboot devices
echo. To continue press Enter
pause
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase system
REM adopt the following line according to the bootloader image filename
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-flo-flo-04.02.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot reboot
And no matter, if I do a wipe cache afterwards or not, I end up in a boot-loop.
Do you know a way to keep apps and settings while going back to Kitkat?

Well i'm trying to update my Nexus 7 2012 to Android 5.0.2, after receiving the OTA update but keep getting an error.
I rooted my Nexus 7, and been thinking that's the problem, since it restarts to install the OTA update but goes to Recovery mode, and when i try to manually install the file get the following error :

Any tips or solution for the problem?
Thanks in advance

TWRP is incompatible with 5.x OTA: it uses its own moronic default.prop instead of importing the device build.prop (or something like that) . It needs to be fixed.
You have to bother flashing the full image (minus the wiping eventually) and reinstall root & TWRP with every update, just like the rest of us
Got an Failed error at fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-grouper-4.23.img <hit enter>.

Will post how it went.

I had the 2012 Nexus 7 WiFi before I picked up the 2013 model. I had the same issue with that bootloader. Seems to be a common issue. Here are articles discussing the issue and fixes.
http://android.stackexchange.com/qu...t-flash-bootloader-failed-remote-invalidstate
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=62198&
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2573015
I remember flashing a modified bootloader to resolve the issue, since as you can see the bootloader packaged with the images is borked.
EDIT: try flashing the appropriate bootloader from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2417097

Thanks for the great tutorial! Used it yesterday on my rooted Nexus 7 to upgrade to 5.0.2, worked like a breeze! :good:
Afterwards I used WugFresh's Nexus Root Toolkit to regain root.

You can always:
- download the image for your device from the google nexus website I gave you
- unzip the tgz file
- Find the resulting tar file and unzip it
- you will now have a folder
- inside the folder will be a bootloader-grouper-4.23.img file, image-nakasi-lrx22g.zip file, flash-all.bat file and two .sh files
- unzip the zip file to the same directory as the bootloader-grouper-4.23.img file
- reboot your nexus into bootloader mode
- plug the nexus into your PC
- open a command prompt in the same directory as the image, sh and bat files (on windows 7 hold the shift key and right click on an empty space within the folder and choose open command window here)
- in the command window type fastboot devices, make sure device is recognized
- if not, set up your pc for adb and fastboot, if so, continue
- type in the command prompt:
fastboot erase boot <hit enter>
fastboot erase cache <hit enter>
fastboot erase recovery <hit enter>
fastboot erase system <hit enter>
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-grouper-4.23.img <hit enter>

I followed this tutorial yesterday and everything went great I now have 5.0.2 working on my Nexus 7 2013, with no problems I can detect at the moment. Thank you, because I was just frustrated I saw the OTA notification without being able to do anything.
Cheers.
I try it too 5.0.2 ota update and nothing still on 4.4.4 I guess on Lollypops for me
Return to stock - Moto X 2014
What you need:
Minimal ADB and Fastboot
Stock ROM Alternative 1 (Faster option)
Stock ROM Alternative 2 (Downloads speed are super slow if you are not premium)
Moto fastboot (mfastboot.exe) (This one is only needed if the file system.img is too big to flash (More than 500MB))
Steps:
Connect your phone to your computer and make sure to have "USB Debugging" enabled (About phone > Tap several times "Build number" > Go back > Developer options > Enable USB debugging)
Make sure your phone is at least 50% charged
Open ADB cmd (MAF32.exe)
Run this command to make sure it recognizes your phone.
Code:
adb devices
After it recognizes it, run the command (It should reboot into bootloader)
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Unzip the downloaded STOCK ROM into the same folder as where you installed minimal ADB (C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot)
Open the "flashfile.xml" file with any text editor
The file tells you how to flash the files into your phone
Mine said:

The sistem.img part was a big file divided into 9 files about 250MB each. If your system.img is bigger than 500MB you'll need to use mfastboot.
Do the commands one by one.
After you are done with everything, reboot and it should say in the Status: Official

the easiest way is using RSDlite and chose flashfile.xml to flash. Done !

Not everybody uses windows. I am a linux user, so no RSDLite is available. Also not available for mac. This guide is great for people who can't use RSDLite or need to do specific steps only instead of blindly trusting RSDLite.

Thanks, I'm also not fond of flashing ROM images via program scripts, I prefer the old step by step method. :thumbup:
Any word on XT1095 or XT1097_retca-retca? How freaken hard is it to capture an OTA or factory image these days?
I still get "Software status: Modified"

well, it's got all the right words and numbers (although the one I'm running from the TWRP method thread is MPE24.11-18, and this appears to be MPE24.49-18). I'm downloading it now - has anybody else tried it?

The latest version that I see is the 6.2.4, and does not work in Windows 10.
There is another version?

I think "Modified" means you unlocked the bootloader, right?
I used to successfully update my xt1095 to 5.1 by these steps:
unroot by using the uninstalling root function in the SEusers, and flash the stock recovery.img back.
download the OTA update, and let it flash my phone automatically.
got a stock 5.1. then you may do whatever you want.

RSD Lite works perfectly in Windows 10.
I followed these steps, and reflashed to 5.1-21.3, then update to 21.6 (security patch).
Now I'm running 6.0! The OTA works!
We def need to get this stock image re-upped, because I could get gray hairs waiting for this to download... Anyone have any other links? Thanks
help!!! I downloaded the recovery image from the official motorola site, i have system image of 2 Gb and have no idea about how to flash the system image. I have a folder called windows(which was included in the recovery image zip that i downloaded) that folder contains a fastboot.exe file so is that the mfastoot file?If yes then how do i use it?
EDIT- Solved!

Can confirm, this is the real deal. Works a treat, and none of those RPC errors that plagued me on the TWRP backup image.
I am on Brazilian frimware with 6.0 now on my device, but my actual model of the device is xt 1092 Indian version.
I want to go back to Indian frimware. Have anyone tried downgrading from 6.0 Brazilian frimware to 5.1 Indian frimware, is it possible? Is full image of 6.0 out for xt 1092, if so please share the link.

Thnx for the info m8.
Could you upload it to something that is faster then filefactory perhaps? Cause this **** is SLOW
Thnx in advance

With thnx to @salaesp for finding the MU folder
Used this firmware on my MotoX
VICTARA_RETEU_XT1092_6.0_MPE24.49-18_cid7_CFC.xml.zip
And was able to get back to the stock state. The Bootloader is still unlocked but that I guess I can lock via OEM lock way?
Since this is the latest one couldn't verify if the OTA works or not.
