I accidentally took the update while rooted, and ended up in a bootloop to cwm recovery. So I had to do the whole sideload twrp and .fota and .msc dumps, had to flash CMod to get my files, and finally a .tot reset. But I have finally got it working again on the ZVD. I head you can root through ioroot24 the same as before. But I can't seem to find anything about it anywhere. Does anybody have a clue as to how to root after ZVD?
Thank you!
Use ioroot25

Thank you! Ill do it now.
Do not put a custom recovery or you will lose knock code. Though dorimax's latest will get it back for you.

Also Dr87's Simple Kernel with Knock Code brings it back, too.

SOLVED! Wug's toolkit ftw!
Boy did I screw this one up! Picked up a wifi 2013 Nexus 7 tonight. Rooted and unlocked it. Went to do a factory reset in twrp and ended up deleting everything. When I try to boot back up twrp tells me that there is no os. Are the stock files around and instructions on how to de-F my device? Thanks for any help!
you can use a factory image: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images

You can also push a ROM.zip to the nexus using ADB and then flash it. You may want to include a supersu.zip or find a prerooted 4.3 ROM like carbon. You may end up liking carbon so much you'd never leave.
Edit... You may need to push some gapps too. Banks or the the new PA.
Maybe easier to find the prerooted zip that @scrosler posted awhile back. It's the JSS15R or whatever.
Just some options for you

I need to get back to stock rooted and make a back up. Such a newb move not doing that to begin with! I can boot in to recovery so I'll have to read / watch on how to fix from here.
I'm having trouble finding instructions on what to do. Any links would help! I've scoured youtube but nothing is really great step by step stuff. Thanks!
Ok, I have the stock rooted JSS15R zip and again, I'm having trouble finding out how to flash it on my no os device. I'm in the bootloader mode and see the ADB sidelide but nothing happens. And advice would be great, I've been working on this for hours and am sick of it!
Someone can correct me if I am wrong, but there's a step by step guide right here on XDA in the N7 General section.
Again, someone who's an expert can correct me if I am wrong, but you should be able to follow philos64's guide on restoring your N7 back to stock (2nd post)

Whew, ran wug's program for great success! Thanks all! :good:
So my n7 has been down for the past 2 months cause of poor Asus service on an RMA. Took me sending the unit in 3 times before they gave me a new device.
I feel so out of the loop and overwhelmed
Anyways, I was unlocked manually, rooted with wugs tool and twrp recovery flashed with wugs tool. Is this still all possible to do on kit Kat, the latest update?
What's the best ROM and or kernel being run out there in you guys opinions. This is the biggest thing that's overwhelming since development has taken off in the last 2 months IMO.
Thanks for any help and tips, I appreciate it guys/girls!
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
Yeah you can still do that..
If you unlocked manually you know how to use fastboot so just flash twrp or cwm with that. No need for a toolkit.
Rom/kernels up to you man. Depends what you want, see what they offer, there is no best. I like CM myself.
Alright thanks. Yeah, I'm familiar with fastboot. I'll just do that. How do I root though if I fastboot install twrp?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
Right now I am running SinlessRom with ElementalX kernel and the ROM is liquid smooth, scored 28205 in anTuTu (overclocked). Have tried BS Harmony CM based but I just don't like the look of it and CM ROMs used to be my fav.
Where do I find the proper super su zip to root after fastboot flashing twrp?

With all due respect, sure we could walk you through the process but really, do yourself a favor and do some reading to learn all that is required. Familiarize yourself with everything first, in the end you'll be thankful you did. After all...learning is part of the fun. Lots of folks use a toolkit like wugfresh's to unlock, root, install recoveries, etc.
Yeah, I know the steps, just not sure if I'm looking in the right spot. Guess I'll read more in that thread to find out if it's the right one......

I have used it quite a few times and it works fine. Only thing is for me it would hang on install. I would just close the app, clear all tasks by holding down home button, run it again and it would say completed. I know that sounds weird but that used to happen on my old optimus g.

I've been following the AutoRec thread for a couple days and I'm a little concerned that there's no follow up yet on those white lines that some are getting. I did notice that FreeGee no longer gives me a warning about ZVC being incompatible. Any body know if this means FreeGee is now safe?

I had no issues with autorec. But I tot, rooted then used autorec.
I'm only guessing but it could be because of that. Some that had the lines already had twrp but had broken download before they used autorec. Like I said though, it's a guess.

I also was rooted on stock ZVC. I installed autorec and let it do its thing. First try, I could not do a backup in TWRP. It would fail everytime. Then I booted to system and thought everything was fine till the screen went off. White lines slowly appeared and stayed. Only fix was to reboot. That got boring so I tot back to ZVC and used ioroot25 to root and then installed autorec. White lines again when screen off then back on. I think waiting until the dev can figure out what is being altered on our ls980, we have to wait.

Did you wipe cache and dalvik and try autorec again?
Seems strange that it's working fine for a lot of us and not for others.

I can only think there is some tweak in the modified kernel that breaks us. Ota, tot, no matter what. I can see no matter what in TWRP, but in system it fails. I gone every way.
Just have to wait a bit longer.

Agreed on modified kernel.
I hope @Cloudyfa sticks around for us, to help the ones that need it. He has contributed so much to the G2 community.
My big concern is that freegee doesn't give any info as to what version of ZVC OTA it's compatible with, and neither does the autorec thread for that method. Like in the ZVA-> ZVC thread, there's a zip of the OTA... which is slightly different than getting the official OTA through system updates on the phone. So I'm afraid to try either method and end up with an unrecoverable brick because I'm on the official OTA.
Anyone on completely stock ZVC, rooted, that has successfully used either method?

Auto-rec works fine. The modified kernel that every app or by manual has used is the same at the time.
The worst it will do if it does not work is give you lines in your display after the screen shuts off. A reboot fixes that. But to fix completely, is to tot back to zvc and stay just rooted.

Stock rooted zvc. Auto-rec worked for me. No lines. Everything works.Just downloaded app. From download folder pressed on the app let the phone install it. Then ran it. I did not have download mode at first so reran the app and download mode worked.

Hi All,
With all the threads about bricked phones, I wanted to take the safer route and outright ask for the best method to upgrade to KitKat on a rooted phone running 4.2.2 stock? I've already 'bricked" my phone once last year doing an OTA update, so I'm trying to avoid doing that again. I know this is a noob question, but I haven't been able to locate a sprint specific guide consolidating all of the information out there. Any help is appreciated.

Thank you for the reply. I'll give this a shot tonight!
I have a question: I already screwed up and applied the KitKat update to my rooted G2 without thinking. It's now stuck booting to TWRP, where I was a moron and of course didn't create a backup at any point. Is there a way for me to sideload the ROM onto my phone at this point?
Any ideas?

Even sideload may not help you, if you can access down load mode. You might get to use tot, back to stock.
But there is no stock zvc yet for ls980.

I actually read a bit more and decided to hold off on the update. I'm happy with my phone's performance, so I really don't have the time to troubleshoot should the update go awry.

So I am trying to figure out among the many threads how to get Xposed Framework on my LG G3. When I first got the phone I realized it was being worked on and now I decided to see what's been going on and realized all the threads. I've rooted my phone using this method, http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3129197, I have tried the one method of getting TWRP on my phone one of those one click apps and it bricked my phone so now I'm back to stock and rooted. Currently my software info is as follows, Android 5.0.1, Build number LRX21Y, Software version D85021q. Could someone just send me the proper links that won't cause a brick again? Thank you. What happened to the good old days of just installing the Xposed APK on a rooted device?!!
