[Q] Preparing for sending back. - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

What do i need to do? I'm gonna send back my N7 LTE for replacement because of the screen bleed issue when the stock images come out. I'm running carbon rom. Any things to do before sending it back?

Flash back to stock and lock your bootloader back.

The problem is Google hasn't released a factory image for the LTE version, only for the Wi-Fi version:
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
I'm hoping you made a full backup before installing custom rom.

Maybe you can get someone to upload a Nandroid backup of their stock ROM for you.

lucky boy !!!

another thing to learn always back up stock image which come with the device as soon as you rooted your device.

No, I'm pretty sure you'd need to relock your boot loader and have stock recovery

Why would I need to relock the bootloader?
That shouldn't be required for an update... I know it wasn't when I went from 4.0 to 4.1

You don't need a locked boot loader or stock recovery. OTA's apply fine with unlocked boot loaders and custom recoveries.
You will need a stock /system though and any other file that's being patched.

The OTA won't apply automatically with a custom recovery. You have to move the file and flash it manually.

Correct. Assuming you're rooted and unlocked this is a fairly trivial operation.

Download titanium back up. Back up all app data. Make sure your on the latest clockwork mod or twrp. Wipe data factory reset flash mmuzzy 4.2.2 rom let apps restore from play store then restore app data from titanium back up and profit.

You can, but will she even notice if its updated? I'd fastboot flash all except userdata.img, in your case http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895
so i can get the system img and boot img from 4.2.2 and flash it on her Gnex and itll work?

I think Titanium is your best bet... After I flash a rom I restore apps and data (not system apps) before I even sign into my Google accounts, it's never failed, I've have backups that I've used since Titanium came out, it's never failed me and I've never had any issues with it...

THIS!
Trust me ANY other custom ROM is usually ALOT better than pure stock, she will appreciate it mor as an update!
Any custom rom will have advantages over plain stock.
I also have a similar question. Is there any way to stay on stock unrooted 4.1.1 and get the 4.2 lock screen?

I suggest you go back to stock firmware and then try the code. Just make a nandroid and backup your pictures and stuff.
Some say it being rooted will make a code note work. Never tried myself

Thanks however Is this a fact because I would like to avoid flashing back to stock if possible. I guess it would be the safest thing to do but definitely would prefer not to.

Just make a backup of your current setup and go to a stock build. It's really easy. I always leave a backup of the stock rom on my phone in case I ever have some weird issue

If you were just stock rooted then not much will change. If your boot loader WAS unlocked, it won't be now. You'll have factory recovery. Then you'll need to do a factory reset to clear everything.

I did, factory reset finished it off.
Although I still think it's doing the weird boot thing where the LG logo flashes a couple times before the Sprint boot animation runs.

You can find factory images here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#razor Just flash system, recovery, and boot images, and then lock the bootloader.
