Hi, first post -been a long time lurker
Rooted my mytouch and went along uninstalling bloatware using titanium backup, wanted to reinstall a few of the programs and found that I can't.
I really would just like to restore the factory rom on it, did anyone make a copy that I could download?
Thanks
You'll probably need to wait until Clockworkmod gets ported, that way you can restore from a nandroid backup. Alternatively, you should be able to get to recovery and restore back to factory from there. Easiest way to do that is to open up adb and run adb reboot recovery. If the option to restore isn't there, turn off fast boot in options and then power off the phone. Hold volume down and power at the same time until a menu with a few options comes up. Press the volume down button until you get to factory reset and then press the power button to confirm the selection.
You should be able to just through this mofo on there...

Thanks for the suggestions, nothing has helped so far. I was able to restore the phone, but the system apps that I deleted are permanently gone. Thats what I'm looking for...
I downloaded the "stock" tmo rom from the other thread and tried to install it from rom manager with no success. When I'm in recovery, I get the error can't read zip file when I try to apply the stock rom.
So, any other suggestions?
Thx
Only thing I can think of is you're gonna have to wait for a stock nandroid backup to be posted.

I am going through the same thing. If you look at my post I've posted the files and someone is being very helpful. What programs do you need? I might the apk's you need.
I found thr solution, was able to get the phone back to 2.2 stock!
I'll post instructions in a few, thanks all for the help

Any luck? There are a few people over on the dev board stating future updates may not work without some of the bloatware crap (per their experience on a MT3G), so I'd like to know how you pulled this off if I have to go that route in the future.
You can try this to go back to complete stock.

Thats exactly what I ended up doing. I was running 2.2.1 and had the phone rooted and was able to restore it to stock 2.2.
Worked great, Thanks!
Can someone post the swype apk from this rom? I backed it up in titanium, but it won't restore
So here's my story:
I was kinda sick of the stock ROM, so I wanted to try out the Open Kang Projekt's ICS. And in order to do that I need to install Clockworkmod on my devise, and I did. But instead of installing the official CWM (which is version 4.0.0.4), I tried this: [Recovery] ClockworkMod - 5.5.0.4 - (Update: 03/18/12), I think it has the latest ICS kernel included or something (I'm not sure, that's what he said). And then I installed Kang's ICS ROM. Everything worked out just fine, except for the fact that it takes me every time about 5 minutes to boot, which is really a pain 'cause my tab crashes alot, and there are other bugs as well. So I decided to have a stable ROM instead of an unofficial ICS. But now I can't install any other ROM. I tried CLEAN ROM, team Overcome's ROM etc. but there's no luck, I'm always stuck at boot (Yes, I did wiped anything I could in CWM).
So now, what can I do?
I have wiped everything and flashed the official CWM 4.0.0.4 with Odin onto my tab, and I think that's the only thing I have on my tab now.
If I want to install Overcome's ROM now, what do I need. Do I need to install a bootloader? A kernel? What kind/version do I need. Shall I install the kernel first and then the ROM or the other way round?
And if I want to go back to stock, what do I have to do? Can I do that with Kies?
Really need some advice here. Hope you guys can help me.
BTW, my devise is Galaxy Tab 10.1 Wifi only.
Whenever I change my ROM, I always follow the steps outlined in S0ckM0nk3y's guide (stickied in the development section).
1. Use Odin to flash stock ROM
2. Boot into stock recovery and do a factory reset (I do it 3 times cuz I'm anal), also wipe the cache too
3. Now you should be back to stock ROM.
Make sure to thank S0ckM0nk3y for his very helpful post!!

Do you mean the root and unroot thread? I don't really think that's what I need but I'll try to flash the stock from via Odin as you said. Thank you for your advises.
Yes, the root/unroot thread. Doing what I posted will get you to stock ROM. From there, you can try to load another ROM. I personally recommend task14 ROM. Make sure you read all instructions thoroughly as many times as necessary so that you fully understand the steps before you go on and flash anything. Task's page is pretty straightforward.

Thank you. Everything's fine now. After installing the stock rom via odin I still got stuck at boot, but then I flashed the stock recovery (the 3e one) and did a factory reset with it, everything is back to normal now. I'm on stock rom again. Thank you very much for your replies.
That's quite the process. Not sure what went wrong for you in the first place (sounds like you've never done this before, from the wording of your questions), but all I do when I flash a new ROM is wipe (dalvik, then full wipe) and then flash. Never had to use ODIN except to flash CWM (and I've only done that twice, once when I got the tab and again a few weeks ago when the CM9 team released their variant).

That's what I meant when I said "I wiped everything I could". I did wipe dalvik cache, full wipe with CWM recovery 5.5.0.4 but somehow that did not work.
But now everything's fine again, after I wipe data/factory reset with the stock recovery instead of CWM.
I'm not sure of what went wrong either, but since everything is back to normal now, I think I'll leave it this way, no more custom rom.

I was actually referring to Swammy's process. No big deal. I can't imagine using a stock ROM at this point (especially since I've been using ICS for over a month now), but to each his own.
The only reason I go through that whole ordeal is because I hate all the cluttered folders on my sd, and cwm won't clean up any of that after a wipe. I admit, my method is a bit anal...but I do always go to stock, then wipe, then install cwm and load a fresh ROM. Is there a better method that I a unaware of? I am open to suggestions!

I just use storage analyser from the market and occasionally clean house manually. Takes 2-3 minutes, and forces me to stay aware of how the storage is used (I do the same thing on my windows computer, though it takes much longer!). I probably have some useless directories but, honestly, there's no advantage to having the vanilla folder structure. But, if that's your purpose, I don't know another way. I just pointed that out because noobs will read this thread and since your post is the first response, I'm just playing damage control...

Once again guys. I need your help again. Yesterday I installed AOKP ROM in my Nexus 7 and was working fine. Today I decided that I wanted to try something different and installed CM10. Bad choice. CM10 did not worked as I expected and I decided to go back to AOKP. After several attempts I was able to go back to AOKP but now Google Play is not working and I can't do anything without my apps.
I was thinking of going back to factory ROM and install again AOKP.
Any help????
Thanks.
There's a guide here, but you mention not being tech savvy in your first post so that might be tough. If you successfully rooted and have ClockworkMod Recovery installed, you don't need to return to stock. Just wipe everything (backup anything on internal memory that you need first) and reinstall AOKP. I use TWRP recovery, so I can't remember exactly which wipe choices you should pick, but you may be able to avoid wiping /data/sdcard where your internal "SD card" is located. Once you have everything working again, go back to recovery and make a full backup so you can restore it the next time something like this happens.
Thanks

AOKP is back on but neither ClockworkMod nor Google Play are on the device. When I press the Google Play icon it gives me a message saying "Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped"
I don't know what to do from there....

It's the Google apps zip file you need to obtain the Play Store.....you had to have flashed at some point if you had the Play Store on AOKP.

Forgive me if this question has been raised before but I haven't found anything relevant on a search.
Everytime I reset my Nexus 7 it seems to create a new layer of directories. I've had the N7 for a week and I've already got three layers of subdirectories. Files that have been downloaded might be in sdcard/0/download, or sdcard/0/0/download, or sdcard/0/0/0/download. I have to manually reset the directory for Titanium Backup, etc.
What's causing this and, more importantly, what can I do fix/stop it?
Thanks,
Ted.
this happens to me to. idk what causes it
Did you flash a custom room? If so did you upgrade your recovery to the latest version? If not that will be your problem.

I'm running CM10 with ClockworkMod Recovery 6.0.1.0.
If I install the latest version of CMR it won't automatically clean up the directory structure, will it? What's the easiest/best way to deal with this?
Well this o file was holding 5 GB of space and I want to know why it happened? I had to reflash the stock ROM because of a bad kernal

Sounds like this does not apply to people running the stock rom at all.
Somehow we need a disclaimer on threads like this, so all the folks with unmodified Nexus 7's don't freak out.
Most likely if u are on xda your rooted and running some type of mod or ROM.
And mine is stock just rooted

Maybe back in the old days - but XDA has outgrown it's modest beginnings.
I would love to see some real figures, but my guess would be no more than 10 percent of XDA members are running a custom rom.
That is based on just reading posts on the Nexus forums.
Like you - I am stock and rooted. I would need to see a real benefit to put a custom rom on - and stock is pretty good.

Stock on the nexus is awesome with nova launcher but as soon as aokp is running 4.2 I am going to run it. I use it on my s3 and makes it so much better.
Again though this O file came from re flashing the stock ROM which has never happened to me

I suspect you're right. This probably only applies to users have installed a custom recovery and/or custom ROM. I certainly never had the problem before I installed CM10.
As far as "freaking out" goes, why would anyone be concerned if they DIDN'T have multiple "0" directories? There are hundreds of posts on XDA about people having problems with their devices, but if you don't have that problem why would you be concerned?
Apparently the problem has to do with upgrading to Android 4.2. There is a lengthy discussion at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1999214.
I had upgraded with the OTA 4.2 then flashed CM10 (which is 4.1.2), went back to 4.2 and then re-flashed CM10. I think the easiest solution may be to back up internal storage /sdcard/, reformat internal storage, full wipe/factory reset, reflash 4.2, and finally restore files selectively. After that the problem should be solved. Maybe.
I had 10gb of stuff that after flashing a 4.2 rom (I think it was cleanrom 2.5)got sent into a 0 folder and then it was as if it set up its own file structure again as if all the folders that come stock it were there (empty) and then a 0 folder with all my previous stuff but all downloads and pictures that are taken on the new rom with this new folder setup get stored in the new folders and not the 0 folder. I'm running the latest twrp so that shouldn't be the problem and when I wipe I always do cache, dalvik, factory reset, and system (full wipe) so yeah. Hope this adds a little insight

OK so the O file is because now we have multiple users. When u flash over an existing ROM it makes the admin file 0 and when u add more users it gives them thier own file structure. This would be good for someone who wants to share their n7 but only give them certain rights!!

/0/ is a user
if you were to add multiple users there would also be a /1/, /2/ etc
/0/ is the primary user, if you were to wipe and reflash with a custom recovery that didn't wipe all of the /sdcard/ too then it will probably get confused (unless the recovery was new and fixed this 'bug') and then create a /0/0/ etc.

Im not rich or I would have got a newer version tablet by now, but if anyone who helps has a donate button I have no issue donating a couple dollars to the person who helps me get this done, Thanks. Or just a couple dollar PP gift. better than nothing I guess.
I just want to be sure I dont mess anything up here. I have a nexus 7 wifi model.
I used NRT to unlock and root and all seems fine. Am I correct in this:
I use nandroid backup to backup first
Put ROM file on device (where do I put it?)
Wipe (is this done via nexus root toolkit or is ok do do in the custom recovery?)
Then what, boot into recovery and find the ROM and install it via recovery install button?
Then do I do the same with a kernal? Where do I put it?
Then done?
I know there are guides around but for a complete newbie I need to be sure cause I dont always see a complete fully explained step by step. Just like when I was stock not getting SU to work after rooting via nrt, I did read to flash SuperSU.zip, but had no idea how, then when I found the file and thought maybe install from recovery meant same as flash, I didnt know the message about messing the device up was normal so I was afraid at first.
THANKS to any replies,
Been unsure for days now trying to make sure my ducks are in a row before i commit to a ROM/Kernal. I want to CPU control for both under and overclocking etc. Mainly overclock just a little. I must say I love root already, got stuff to work I couldn't before
1. Create nandroid- there's a free app called something like nandroid on line - very simple to use
1a. I'd also recommend backing up with titanium backup app. It means you can keep your app data (e.g. game progress) when switching between ROMs, unlike a nandroid which is just a backup of your device as a restorable image
2. Put ROM file on device - ROM will be a .zip file, out it wherever you want, as long as you remember where it is
3. Put kernel anywhere on device - easiest to find a kernel with .zip format (recommend M-kernel)
4. Wipe - from custom recovery
5. Hit install in your custom recovery, I always flash kernel and then ROM, but I don't think it really matters
Install from recovery and flash are the same thing.
I'd recommend only flashing ROM or kernel and sticking with that set up for a few days, then flashing the other desired element. That way, if anything goes wrong then it's easier to pinpoint.
Good luck!!

Actually that completely matters. Flashing a kernel before rom is worthless because the rom contains a kernel that will replace whatever you have just flashed.
If you want to run a custom kernel on a rom it is recommended to boot into the rom first before flashing the kernel.

If I just want root access and overclock should i just flash kernal and forget a rom?
can i revert back to stock kernal if need to? ask cause need to find a kernal that has V4L enabled for a usb camera app i use currently to use an inspection camera via usb on my tablet. I guess i need to read what various roms and kernals add. do i need to do both. Hard to know what to pick out of them, lol.
Thanks for advice.
Anyone know of a list to show ROMs with V4L enabled? None seem to mention it?
I have read and see different suggestions around on various sites. What all do I wipe? I have read cache, dalvik cache, plus other stuff. What all must I wipe before flashing a rom or kernel? I did a nandroid backup already.
PirateGhost, Ill donate a couple dollars if you help, thanks.
Thanks.
When going from one rom to a different one all you need to do in custom recovery is select factory reset.
This wipes out your currently installed apps, their settings, but doesn't touch your 'sdcard'
Wiping dalvik is pointless as it's automatically handled in the rom process, and cache is wiped in factory reset.
When switching kernels follow the instructions provided by the dev. If no instructions are provided, it's safe to assume you just flash without wiping anything.
When doing this, I'd recommend titanium backup too. When you do a factory reset, all apps are lost, but some data is kept (not sure on the details). Basically Titanium allows you to restore all your apps with data when you change ROMs.

No data is kept except what's on the sdcard. Mostly only game saves and some basic stuff. Apps databases are wiped during factory reset.
