When I saw the port for ICS come out I got really excited and flashed it right away. Then I realized for whatever reason I didnt have SU permissions so I couldn't tether to my computer. I was disappointed but I thought, "no biggie, I'll just restore from my back up." When I flashed my back up the SU app was in my app drawer but I still couldn't tether. As a matter of fact I can't do anything that requires SU but the bootloader still reads unlocked. WTF?
I can't flash a new recovery either. I tried installing from ROM manager, I tried pushing it from my computer but I can't get to the recovery any more. ROM manager says that I have CWM 5.0.2.0 currently installed but I can't get to it at all. Again, WTF?

^clearly the phone is working perfectly fine with the stock ROM from the back up but obviously I want my SU back.
Root your phone and read the development thread versus making blog posts.

Thanks for not answering my questions. The bootloader is unlocked but I don't have root and I don't have access to recovery mode even tho ROM Manager says I have Clockwork Mod 5.0.2.0 currently installed. I cannot access the recovery mode AT ALL. I cannot flash or push a new recovery but it fully boots into Gingerbread w/o any issues. What is wrong with my phone and how do I fix it.

Try from rom manager to reinstall a previous recovery version.

That doesn't work either. It goes through the prompts but it doesn't actually reboot do the installation.
I just tried unrooting and then re - rooting but that didn't work and I think that actually wiped my phone completely. I don't even know where an SD card would get into this thing.

Use adb on your computer and push a clockworkmod recovery.img. And we are trying to help u no need for the sarcasm

I'm sorry but I'm just really frustrated right now. Nothing I have tried has worked. Maybe its my commands? To push that recovery image what would I type?

Is that the right name of the recovery img? Try renaming it to just recovery and see if that works.
Edit: make sure your phone is in debugging mode. And uninstall then reinstall the drivers on your computer

manually go into recovery with volume down and power flash the su.zip and u should be good to go that wat I did
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
No suggestions have worked so far. It does not matter what the recovery image name is, whenever I try the flash it Terminal says that it cannot load "***.img" or if I try an install command it says that it cannot find "***.zip" I'm on a snow leopard iMac so I don't need drivers n such.
Let me pose the question like this, what would I do to completely restore the phone to factory condition and try to root it again? Like I said before, the bootloader says that it is unlocked but I do not have any root privileges, could not access the recovery I had before nor install a new recovery after having locked the unlocked the phone's bootloader again.

go to the link above and follow the directions for returning to stock.
find yourself a one-click root method on XDA that includes superuser, busybox, and CWM.
EDIT: Also, double check the md5 sum for the CWM .zip. use
Code:
md5 recovery-aaaaaa.img
in the terminal and make sure the output matches whatever is given on the CWM site. if they dont have one up, ask for it

Hi I have a problem with my Nexus 7 (32 gb wifi only version).
My son in his infinite wisdom decided to install ubuntu on the tablet.
I went to try and restore this back to the android version but all it did was to wipe off ubuntu itself
I then went on jayceooi.com and used the nexus toolbox to see if I could reflash the images etc.Howveer although all the files were downloaded I canot get the laptop to recognise the nexus itself (even though it sems to charge the tablet). There is no menu at all to check whether or not usb debugging is ticked or not..
Im now left with the tablet without no apparent operating system. At the moment all it shows is the green android with fastboot mode but when I hit start it says booting failed.
Could someone help please before I do any more damage and I brick it completly (although I may have already done so)
thankyou for any help

Yes it can do restore back to stock. Just follow the guide to unlock bootloader so it can flash stock image then just re lock bootloader. It covers the process in op.

Ok thanks all. Seemed to be doing everything ok but its been stuck on"waiting for your device to finish booting back up" for about 30 minutes now. It did say it would take 5 to 10 mins but should i carry on waiting or abort and start again do you think?
thanks
I would reset it see if that helped

If your son re did the partitions for Ubuntu that could have messed things up pretty good. I have only had my nexus for a few days so I couldn't tell you how to fix the formatting quite yet. I would search around on how to verify and correct the partitions if needed.

Ok. I used a super wipe script. Now my device has nothing but the boot loader and twrp is still installed. I was on the new ota 4.2.2. I also have 4.18 boot loader. I have no os and all of my backups are gone so I can't restore anything. How can I install this from a computer and push it to my device? I really need help. I'm not brand new. But I've never been in this situation. Thanks to anyone who can help make my device operable again.

If TWRP is installed and you can boot in TWRP, try to mount the usb and copy the backup to the device. I'm not sure, but you could use adb push in the recovery, too
Otherwise just boot into bootloader, flash the stock rom, boot, root, copy the backup on the sdcard, flash TWRP, restore it

I thought you had a backup on your PC, if not you will loose all your data
Do it like the guy above said, or just download the stock image (for your device) from here, extract everything and just run the flash-all.bat (if you are on windows). This will flash the stock rom so you should be able to boot your device again

It seems like for me downloading the stock image and running the flash all bat would be the best solution for my level of experience. I just don't know what you mean by running the flash all bat. Do I need sdk or something to do that? I need the most simple solution possible with my level of experience. But thanks a million.

No need to install anything! Just download the package for your device and extract it. Now open the archive and there is a file called flash-all.bat.
Now you hold power and volume down on your nexus 7 to get into fasboot mode (the bootloader). If you are there, plug the nexus via usb in your pc.
Now just double click the flash-all.bat and it will flash the stock rom
If this won't work, because windows can't detect the device, download the Nexus 7 Toolkit, install it and open it. There's an option to install the drivers

Hello forgive me if this is the wrong place on this forum for this topic.
I unlocked my phone with the wugfresh method and did keep it stock ROM. Now my sweet google phone wants to update OTA but it won't do it.
Can someone help me. I want to go 4.3 and keep it stock, and rooted: )
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Do it manually by downloading the Google factory images and flashing them yourself. Can either flash them through a toolkit like I did (which most people wouldn't recommend), or you can flash them yourself with fastboot. A quick search or look around will show you how to do it

Do you mean that selecting the download/install button will not do anything?
Did you install a custom recovery?, you need a stock recovery for it to work, I have the stock recovery image itself if you need it.

Use fastboot to flash the image from your computer. Efrant has a guide for returning to stock in General.
This, yet again, is why people shouldn't use toolkits.
gues thanks my nexus is back alife with the post in the general, id managed it. thanks guys.
this method brings me some old dos memories back :highfive: hhehe was fun afterwarts
now running stock again with 12gb memm
Heya...
On my 16GB Grouper I had installed the stock rooted 4.3 rom. Yesterday a system OTA update message appeared on my screen - 1.7 MB. I let it download and install over night and just went to bed. Came back in the morning to a boot loop where the device got stuck with the four colorful thingies animation. I can access the bootloader, but the recovery seems to be broken. Can't remember if I had anything other than the stock one... Anyways, now I'm strugling to get this thing going again. I am a zero at ADB but willing to learn whatever is necessary to get me started with a working recovery at least. No tool root box will do anything really for me...
Thanks for your help in advance
Hey!
Had a problem just like yours. If your running windows then install this program its called nexus tool kit. I'm a newbie here but if you Google 'nexus toolkit wug fresh' you can find it
All you need to do is plug your device in and open the program, then select flash OTA with the boot loop option and then follow the on screen instructions
That should put you back to normal with a fresh start meaning all you data will be lost. You can also root from there to.

Yeah. It would be dumb to actually learn what you are doing to your device. You should totally use a toolkit.

Thank you guys. You might not believe it, but I'm not a newb to Android or flashing. It's just that I've always been playing around with Samsung devices and there you'd normaly turn to Odin in case something went wrong. Here it's different.
Anyways, with this comprehensive guide I've been able to reflash a recovery image and my old rom. Unfortunately losing all of my data in the process, but there was no way to save it.
