[Q] Stock Unrooted Flashable ROM

Does anyone know of a stock flashable ROM without Root and Busybox?
I'm aware of the thread guiding people on going back to factory but I don't want to do that. I want to be able to just flash a Rooted ROM if I want one and flash back to standard unrooted if I want using TWRP.
My reason behind this that I spend a lot of time on the train at the minute so decided to get Sky Go. Unfortunately it detects that the device is rooted and won't run.
There are a few threads around the net with scripts and suggestions but nothing seems to work for me.

I don't think there are any..... Hmmm.

You can flash the stock ROM with fastboot but not from within recovery. Get it here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images

I could make one I suppose, wouldn't take long at all...

If you could do that it would be great.
I was just looking at the tutorial to bake it myself but having issues with Cygwin. Much quicker and easier if you did it.
Owe you one.

I use Linux so it won't take long. You literally want a flashable stock ROM, no changes whatsoever?

Exactly. I use a standard stock rooted ROM usually.
Just realised I don't actually use root for anything at the minute but likely will do in the future.
Thanks again.

I'll try and do it this afternoon but if not this evening once back at home

Uploading at the mo, it's literally the stock ROM dumped into the kitchen and cooked out with no change whatsoever

Excellent. Thanks buddy.

I think I'll play with it too and keep the zip stored just so I have it.
Thanks

Here you go. I've not tested but it should be fine (let me know if it's not)

Working perfectly so far mate! Sky Go is working and no wipe was required.
Owe you one mate. Top work. Thank you.

Good to hear! You're welcome

Very cool that you've done this, but I should give a word of caution: there are some problems that wiping via fastboot will fix, but installing a flashable stock .zip won't fix. For example, when a 16GB phone thinks it's only 8GB. (I have reason to believe that there are other problems that can only be fixed in this way, but I can't prove it. :silly

That's not something the OP cared about, he just needed to 'unroot' to use a TV app that checks for root access

He should give this app a try

It doesn't work - none of the 'root hiding' apps work with Sky Go

I tried that.
I tried a script that was published on the net to remove root and busybox.
I tried removing root and busybox manually.
I tried flashing stock kernal
I tried several other apps.
A flashable stock rom was my last resort as I was under the impression that I'd need to wipe and I didn't want to do that. I just tried it without wiping on the off chance that it worked and it did, so problem solved.
None of my Apps were using Root so I thought I'd get rid of it completely but wanted the option to flash CM10.1 once Bluetooth MAP profile is fixed and working without having to go through putting TWRP on again.
It's all in the OP and posts following that.
EddyOS saw what I was after and offered to help. He's a great dude.

Just for learning purposes, how come no one has made a flashable stock zip until now? Wouldn't it just be like any custom rom but instead its just stock?

[Q] Touchscreen not working after custom rom!!

Hello there
So it been 3 days working on my moms phone with no luck!!
I tried to flash hyperion 7, first i've rooted successfully using an update.zip file using stock manager.
then flashed the mod using the same way, ofcourse cleared the cache + wipe.
Then all worked fine, the phone will boot successfully to the welcome screen with the green droid, then the sim unlock pad will pop up, but the touchscreen will not work! hard buttons works fine!
re-tried it many times, and then tried flashing the stock rom by odin, with no luck!
the touchscreen still as is!!
googling and searching this forums for 3 days, and a lot of threads, but with no luck.
the only thing that i came up with and didnt try it is flashing kernel, I don't anything about this...
also someone mentioned flashing drivers for tft ??!
plzzzzzzz any help
:crying:

UPDATE:
-installed CWM from zip file through stock recovery
followed this: androidlegend com/install-clockworkmod-recovery-on-samsung-galaxy-y-gt-s5360/
-installed Savie-kernel using CWM
followed this: shubhamnishad.blogspot /2013/05/list-of-best-kernel-for-samsung-galaxy-y.htm
- installed hyperion-8 using CWM
followed this: galaxyyoungdev.blogspot /2013/03/romkernelmodhyperion-8-w-plus-features.html
again, full working, but no touch screen!!
What should i do now? try another kernel?

Just flash stock with odin, search for doky's thread

I did!
flashed stock rom multiple times using multiple odin versions and multiple sources for stock rom.
I tried the first 2 out of 3 (middle east versions) of doky's thread.
Should i try the third one too? what is the difference?

as far as i know, and that can be wrong, if your android is untouched (no root or anything else (like xposes framwork)) you will get the update over the air.
BUT if you don't there are factory images that you can download and flash your phone quite easily
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/general/how-to-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2010312
or a toolkit to do it automatically
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/general/how-to-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2010312
i would recommend to do it with the first method. if something goes wrong you will know what is it and you can ask for help. with the toolkit if something goes wrong things are more complicated to find the error.
P.S. if you decide installing the factory images via console (first option), it is highly recommended to read the entire process first and after do the procedure.

My phone is rooted, but i dont have any custom ROMs or framework , will this affect it? Or when I get the update my root will simply be gone?

You'll lose root and the custom recovery with the ota. But if you haven't modified / deleted any system files you should get the ota.

I've searched some threads and some said you don't get ota if you have clockwork mod (I have it) and I really don't know what to do...should I go back to stock? I'm not good with that stuff and afraid I will brick it, any ideas or advice?

You should be ok. If you're really worried about cwm you could flash the stock recovery image in fastboot. But I wouldn't unless the ota fails, which it shouldn't

Thank you one more question, will I still get ota notification ? As in, it might fail but will I still receive like I would normally?

I think you'll see it in the next couple of weeks, not today. The n4 may be even longer

Alright, thank you again for clearing things up!

It's also worth noting that Google pushes update at different times depending on which area you live in, so even if you read on the news that Lollypop is released on the Nexus 4, it may take a while for your phone to receive the OTA.

Personally, I advice you to install TWRP recovery, its safe and easy to install kernels and roms

Int'l ROMs?

I found a *****en ROM named Nameless in the f/g variants of the Note 4. Was all psyched to flash it and play with it only to realize there's data issues. Is there any body who knows how to fix the data issue or maybe properly port this to our device?

I tried that and was unable to get it to get data. It really stumped me
Edit: Oh damn. I realized I flashed the wrong kernel and tried again. after flashing the data fix I got data for a second before the phone rebooted. I wiped everything but data when I flashed from my stock rom

I have managed to get the rom up and running.....for the most part. Only downside so far is I can't get Netflix to work. It just loads forever

T_T I'm not sure of what to search for. For branded roms it's relatively easy, but as an INT'L ROM I'm not sure if my process would work. So it's just some obscure file? I was thinking it may be because I flashed something wrong. No chance you can remember where you think you may have seen it? Like xda or another site?

I have been trying my hardest, asking on every forum i can find, to find out how to get the beta release of emotion kernel R24 for N910T. Not one single response.....but anyway. It is my understanding that the latest release of Emotion Revolution rom has r24 kernel as an option in aroma. My question is this; would it be possible to unzip the R23 kernel zip for N910T and replace only the R24 boot image from the emotion rom and leave all the other system files. Or would that be a really bad idea? Ha. I just want the kernel on Tekhds URv7. I know this is possible a really stupid question but I'm just now beginning to learn all the technical details of these things. And I will say ahead of time that any answer will be beneficial because I don't know much about how a N910T kernel differs from international as far as data is concerned or what the fix actually fixes when you flash it. But if it has any relwvance my phone is carrier unlocked and i dont even use tmobile. My goal is to learn something new everyday without hard bricking my baby like I did my N900A. I'm not by any means new to rooting but am very new to having a device that I can actually play with. Thanks in advance and us noobies appreciate everybodys patience.

How did you get a custom recovery on your SM-G530P? I have had my phone unrooted for over a year because I eventually gave up on my search for a custom recovery
I really like TWRP and would appreciate any advice on installation for this model
