[q] flashing nexus 7 lollipop without access to pc - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

I don't know if this is the is the correct place to post this, but here goes...
I have noted in various nexus 7 forums that quite a few people can't flash a rooted Lollipop beacause for whatever reason they have no access to a PC.
I've posted how to get around this, but I know how difficult searching forums for specific information can be.
So, if enough people out there need a step by step guide, I will post it here...

Show me how

I would like to know too...

Flashing the new bootloader is the problem for me....

Yeah we kinda have to wait for a recovery flashable bootloader 4.04 still

Same here, just need to be able to flash that bootloader and I'm good from there. Thanks for the effort.

Would love a flashable zip as well...I have no PC access but have a bl unlocked n7

Same for me. All I need is a flashable zip for the new bootloader.

Same here.

in order to create a flashable bootloader.zip we need to be able to extract the bootloader-flo-flo.4.04.img file all the img utilities I tried to unpack that file give a bunch or errors
can anyone see if they are able to unpack that file with imgtool or imgRePackerRK or something?

I assume this is where I should be if I'm looking to update my rooted N7, which has no working USB port (I charge on a QI charger).
Is this promising or am I stuck on KitKat?
Thanks!

Well you should be able to flash to Lollipop as soon as we have a recovery flashable bootloader.zip
Some seem to have flashed the latest ROM without the 4.04 bootloader but I am not sure they still have working root and some other issues.
I have tried to extract the files needed to make the flashable bootloader but am having trouble, so it could be the reason we don't see one yet.
Someone smarter than myself in these matters may have more insight. But so far I have not heard anything from anyone else that has attempted to make a flashable bootloader for 4.04

I saw several posts were people did not update to 4.04 and did not seem to have any trouble, so I decided to try myself, I put a copy of the pre-rooted rom in my downloads
I made a backup, did a factory reset, installed the rom, rebooted and, installed the titanium backup on their twitter feed, restored, and everything seems to working just fine.
I am not sure what the bootloader does affect in the end as far as the running OS goes(not sure why it would affect that), I will upgrade it, if I get a flashable one, but for now I seem to be running Lollipop ok.

I am trying ImgRePackerRK and i am getting 'unknown header formant'
im in cmd.exe. i type: Imgerpackerrk.exe bootloader-flo-flo-04.04.img
I put everything in the same folder to make the typing the syntax faster. Is that the same error you are getting?

Here is the full description

You can extract the factory image tar gunzip with https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rarlab.rar&hl=en
it's alot easier then using windows tools.
Flashify allows you to flash boot and recovery images, I don't see why a extra option couldn't be added for flashing the bootloader also.
If you knew which block the bootloader was stored you could flash it with a terminal emulator also.
The only one I know is

So it looks like we have the bootloader here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56737284&postcount=12
But I want to make sure I do things in the right order. I have no USB port on my rooted N7 (2013). So I thought I'd go ahead and flash the ROM via TWRP as people have had success with the old bootloader. After that I can flash the bootloader to be nice and up to date? Will that mean I lose root at that point? If so, how do I reroot over WIFI?
Thanks!

If you flash the rom from http://forum.xda-developers.com/nex.../rom-factory-stock-rooted-rom-lrx21p-t2938161 it is pre rooted i just downloaded it to my device, rebooted to twrp, made a backup, factory reset, install that rom and rebooted. Worked great. Also Eksasol posted the recovery flashable bootloader here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nex...shable-factory-image-zips-android-5-t2939599/ get the bootloader one from the link. thanks @eksasol

I've just discovered where my original post was moved to.
So if anyone still wants to know how to get lollipop without the latest bootloader, let me know.
I assume after a couple of weeks this has been solved, but if not...

For Rom Developers:
It seems that default cwm format is messing up (due to ext4 file system) , Please use (edify) the following script to format the data and cache partition (or System)
Code:
#Format Data
/sbin/mke2fs_static -t ext4 -b 4096 /dev/block/mmcblk0p30
#Format Cache
/sbin/mke2fs_static -t ext4 -b 4096 /dev/block/mmcblk0p28
# After Format Verify the FIle System
/sbin/e2fsck_static -y /dev/block/mmcblk0p30
/sbin/e2fsck_static -y /dev/block/mmcblk0p28
Edify (To Format System):
Code:
run_program("/sbin/mke2fs_static", "-t" , "ext4" "/dev/block/mmcblk0p27");
AND
run_program("/sbin/e2fsck_static", "-y", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p27");

Is this suppose to be Clockwork Mod for the Nitro? Wat's with the 5? Version 5?
Can you teach me how to make the recovery.img.
My device is LG Optimus LTE SU640 which has the most same hardware with P930.
Yes this is version 5
@belth219 ill port it for you once i get confirmation for this image
Ok,thanks.
@belth219 could you do a "cat /proc/partitions" on your cell and post its results?
Also providing the results for the above command for nitro HD would also be very usefull.
This is the result of my lu6200
Another version of p930

My phone is LU6200,too. Could you tell me if I can install this mod on my phone? The only difference of 2 device is the CPU
I dont think it would work on your device as im sure it has diffrent kernel , upload your boot.img , i will port it once i get nitro hd confirmation

OK...
I just ran 'cat /dev/zero > /dev/block/mmcblk0p27', remounted my system partition as read/write and copied the recovery.img into the directory. Just rebooted in hopes it will flash the recovery image to the recovery partition p27 above. Will now attempt rebooting into recovery to see if anything happened...

Now to see if I can reboot normally?

And it still boots normally and is fully functional when it does boot!!! Good progress so far. Now, does anyone know how to determine the driver it is looking for? I think if I find the right driver I can get into fastboot mode and do anything else that is necessary?

OK...
I just ran 'cat /dev/zero > /dev/block/mmcblk0p27', remounted my system partition as read/write and copied the recovery.img into the directory. Just rebooted in hopes it will flash the recovery image to the recovery partition p27 above. Will now attempt rebooting into recovery to see if anything happened...

Why did you ran cat /dev/zero > /dev/block/mmcblk0p27?
as of this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20514396&postcount=32 post your recovery partition should be /dev/block/mmcblk0p27
so To be me steps would have been:
1) Backing up recovery partition using dd
2) Remounting System partiton as read write
3) copying recovery.img to /system and flashing the recovery.img
4) booting into recovery
For fastboot you should have andriod sdk installed , get it at :
Code:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/download.html
I agree, but when I miss the part about putting the recovery image in the system directory for it to automatically reflash, I started running the steps to flash the recovery image as people flash the boot image...
An extra step that luckily didn't have any bad consequences...

I have the sdk installed - but my laptop is asking for a driver - is the driver within the sdk download? If I don't give it the driver then it says the device didn't get installed correctly and fastboot doesn't see it.
what about USB drivers and Modem?
Did you installed http://s3.amazonaws.com/lgforum.com/resources/assets/680/original/LGP930.zip?1322664514
?
I have uploaded my boot.img & recovery.img to dropbox.
But I can not post any links now.It needs 8 posts.
Sure did. I have the drivers that are needed when the phone boots up normally? Just when it boots up in this new recovery mode that it is asking for a new driver? It shouldn't be asking for anything new, but it is... Another question - after it loads up the new recovery image from the /system directory should it remove the recovery image? If so, then if the recovery image is still in the system directory we may have a problem?
---------- Post added at 09:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:39 AM ----------
As I had thought - recovery.img is still in the system directory... Does this indicate a problem?

You should install the LGMobile update which can be downloaded from LG official website.

[Q] how to install a boot.img file

Hi guys,
I have a Linux partition on my sdcard and I want to have it mount at boot. I checked out this page( a page that I am not permitted to link to that might or might not contain this text "wiki/index.php?title=HOWTO:_Unpack%2C_Edit%2C_and_Re-Pack_Boot_Images") on how to do it and I have put together a boot.img file I want to flash. The instructions call for this maneuver:
# cat /dev/zero > /dev/mtd/mtd2
write: No space left on device [this is ok, you can ignore]
# flash_image boot /sdcard/mynewimage.img
but the Note 8 doesn't have a MTD device:
[email protected]:/storage/sdcard0 # ls -l /dev/mtd*
/dev/mtd*: No such file or directory
what do I do?
mounting at boot time
Hi guys,
It has been about a week since I posted this question here. The reason I am trying to edit the boot.img file is to add a persistent mount point to a Linux partition on my sdcard. After fussing with several third party kernels and not succeeding in creating my own working ramdisk, I tried adding init.d support and putting the mount command in a startup script. It looks like the sdcard is not mounted by the time the init process is finished. I tried editing the vold.fstab file. I tried adding this line to the end:
dev_mount debian /storage/extSdCard/debian 50 /devices/platform/s3c-sdhci.2/mmc_host/mmc1/
No dice.
what is the format of this file? Where can I find a man page or a doc?
These are my partitions:
1|[email protected]:/sdcard # cat /proc/partitions
major minor #blocks name
179 0 15388672 mmcblk0

these have changed since I updated to 4.2.2 about a week ago. Is there some way to have the config persist through device upgrades?

[Q] Optus HTC One X on HBoot 1.36 - Restoring to Stock - RUU not available

Hi,
I have a HTC One X that I'm trying to restore to stock - it seems pretty borked at the moment, /sdcard won't mount in recovery (CWM), wifi/mobile aren't working etc.
I've also tried partitioning the SDCard through CWM, and I think I may have used the wrong options (1024 Mb, and 128Mb swap?). I have no idea how to restore partition layouts on HTC phones? (Do they use a .PIT file?).
Anyhow, on bootup, it shows the following:
Code:
*** UNLOCKED ***
ENDEAVORU PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.36.0000

My fastboot variables:

(bootloader) boot-mode: FASTBOOT
(bootloader) commitno-bootloader: None
(bootloader) hbootpreupdate: 2
(bootloader) gencheckpt: 0
all: Done!
If I'm reading the above correctly, it's on HBoot 1.36, with a Optus CID, so I tried looking for a RUU here
http://www.androidruu.com/index.php?developer=Endeavor
and unfortunately couldn't find anything matching it - the newest is 1.29 for Optus.
I'm then thought I'd try following the instructions here for restoring from Nandroid:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975140
I downloaded the Nandroid backup from here:
Nandroid Backup / Mirror 3.14.980.27 CID OPTUS001 thanks to mafia187
http://uploaded.net/file/bvcpzcgl
The RAR file from this download doesn't contain a zipfile, however, it does contain a folder with the following:
nandroid.md5
cache.ext4.tar
data.ext4.tar
system.ext4.tar
boot.img
recovery.img
I tried flashing this with adb restore as a folder, and also compressing it to a zipfile, and flashing it, and it didn't seem to do anything, but simply returned right away both times with:
Code:
192-168-1-102:platform-tools victorhooi$ ./adb restore ~/Downloads/Stock\ JB\ Optus\ Australia\ 3.14.980.27/2012-12-19.21.27.47

192-168-1-102:platform-tools victorhooi$ ./adb restore ~/Downloads/Stock\ JB\ Optus\ Australia\ 3.14.980.27/2012-12-19.21.27.47.zip
Now unlock your device and confirm the restore operation.
I then thought I'd try to erase/flash the partitions manually.
When I try to erase them I get a "remote: not allowed" error:
Code:
192-168-1-102:platform-tools victorhooi$ ./fastboot erase system
erasing 'system'...
FAILED (remote: not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.136s
When I try to flash, I get a "heap not enough" error:
Code:
192-168-1-102:platform-tools victorhooi$ ./fastboot flash system ~/Downloads/Stock\ JB\ Optus\ Australia\ 3.14.980.27/2012-12-19.21.27.47/system.ext4.tar
sending 'system' (1100991 KB)...
FAILED (remote: Heap not enough)
finished. total time: 0.098s
I thought maybe the bootloader was still locked (I was actually a bit confused, as it says UNLOCKED at the top, but it says S-ON for getvar?).
I tried to following the official unlock procedure on the HTCDev site.
Code:
192-168-1-102:platform-tools victorhooi$ ./fastboot flash unlocktoken ~/Downloads/Unlock_code.bin
sending 'unlocktoken' (0 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.141s]
writing 'unlocktoken'...
(bootloader) unlock token check successfully
OKAY [ 0.222s]
finished. total time: 0.364s
and I don't get the unlock screen, as they mention in the HTC instructions?
What are your thoughts on what to try next? Any help at all greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Victor

Hi,
@timmaaa - Aha, thanks for moving the post and sanitising the IMEI number =). Appreciate that.
Let me know if there's any other details you need me to provide.

1. Unlock bootloader using normal method (if not already unlocked)
2. Flash latest clockworkmod recovery
3. go to recovery -> mount usb storage
4.Place contents of RAR file inside sdcard/clockworkmod/backup folder,
5. go to recovery and restore from that folder you created.
btw, there ARE instructions on the nanodroid backup page, follow those and you'll be all good.
Hi,
@tomascus - When I try to mount USB storage, it doesn't seem to work - it can't seem to access /sdcard (see first post). When I get home, I can paste the exact error message.

Just try with Philz_Touch recovery ... http://d-h.st/users/philz_touch/?fld_id=16046#files
You have to wait about 3minutes for mounting USB storage.
Hi,
@virgolib - I was able to flash with PhilZ Touch Recovery 5.15.9-endeavoru, as suggested
I started it up in recovery mode, and selected "format /sdcard"
It then gave me a prompt asking to select the filesystem type (the or) - I chose vfat.
After this, I was able to ./adb push files onto /sdcard/clockworkmod/restore, and then do a Nandroid restore via PhilZ Touch recovery.
At this point I was returned to stock - I booted it up, and checked that it could boot, and wifi was working.
I then flashed a CM10.2 nightly based on the instructions here - http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_endeavoru
Basically - flash the image and Gapps via PhilZ touch recovery, then use flashboot to flash the boot.img (kernel) - I'm assuming that step is still needed these days?
Also - I'm curious though - what's the difference between ClockworkMod and PhilZ Touch recovery? As in, why was PhilZ Touch recovery able to format the /sdcard successfully? Should I flash back ClockworkMod or leave Philz Touch recovery? And why is PhilZ touch recovery not more commonly known about? (To be honest, this was the first I'd even heard of it, I only knew CWM and TWRP).
Also, I checked my partitions just now:
Code:
[email protected]:/ $ df
Filesystem Size Used Free Blksize
/dev 485.9M 64.0K 485.9M 4096
/mnt/secure 485.9M 0.0K 485.9M 4096

/mnt/obb 485.9M 0.0K 485.9M 4096
/mnt/fuse 485.9M 0.0K 485.9M 4096
/system 1.2G 473.6M 786.3M 4096
/cache 315.0M 5.2M 309.7M 4096
/rca 5.9M 4.2M 1.7M 4096
/rfs 5.9M 4.0M 1.9M 4096
/devlog 21.6M 10.9M 10.7M 4096
/data 2.1G 307.2M 1.8G 4096
/storage/sdcard0 25.2G 1.6G 23.7G 16384
/mnt/secure/asec: Permission denied
/mnt/asec/com.grofsoft.tripview-1 5.0M 4.0M 1.0M 4096
The /sdcard one seems to be 25.2 Gb - which I assume is the correct size. When I went in before via ClockworkMod, and chose to partition it as 1024 Mb - did that simply not take? Or did the subsequent Nandroid restore, or flashing CM10.2 change it?
Cheers,
Victor
You have to install cm10.2 & gapps via recovery then flash boot.img of cm10.2. I'm just a user only not expertise so cannot answers by specify, Philz recovery is the most compatible at the moment. You seemed to be OK now and do as you wish restore or install cm rom.

Need assistance....I did a bad, bad thing....

I have two Verizon HTC Ones (silver and blue) I recently was looking around and saw all the "convert your HTC one to developer/gpe edition" talk and thought, "why not." I figured everything was okay and didn't do as much reading as I normally do. I changed the MID (had SuperMID from java card s-off) to developer edition and, flashed GPE firmware then tried flashing RUUs and when that wouldn't work tried a ROM (Android Revolution HD 5.1). Well, obviously none of this is compatible with a Verizon HTC One and there are now.......issues. As, i said, both of the phones were s-off via java card. Now the silver is S-on, there is no hboot. I can flash recovery, flash roms, etc (they won't boot). But cant figure out how to flash firmware/hboot with s-on. I am using the Blue variant now with Insertcoin ROM and it is great. but the Blue suffers from a severe case of the "pink camera." whereas the silver does not. Is there anyway to fix this or is it bricked. Attached a few pics of the devastation.
RUU should fix it as long as you can get to bootloader.

I can get into RUU. I haven't found an exe so have been trying .zip (there is probably an exe staring me in the face but damned if I can find it). The problem is I changed my MID to developer edition and I'm not sure if that's affecting it or not. Been using both signed and not zips from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2485319 Just hangs at parsing index or errors out. I really hope I'm missing something obvious.

Are you unzipping the signed zips? There may be a .exe inside
If you are using the cmd window to flash you should be able to flash the decrypted RUU

Will download and attempt it but I'm pretty sure the sprint stuff will be incompatible too. When I tried to run the developer edition ruu.exe it said connection error, plug usb cable in, etc. (not sure of exact error code)
And after succesfully botting into RUU, after the failed attempts and hangs, I cannot fastboot reboot-bootloader, that just hangs too. I have to hold the power button down.

Yeah, I've tried both and it either hangs or errors out. Attached is shot of flashing firmware...just sits there at that point.

Give me a list of all the .img files that you see from the firmware zip
I think I have a solution maybe.. With the bootloader unlocked we can still us fastboot not RUU... We will just have to flash them from fastboot one at a time... give me a list I will work on it....

Well, I can't open the signed zips that are for the vzw (says windows cant, invalid) but I can open 1 of the developer edition ruus that i have...not sure if that really helps

What I mean is check your RUU and see if it's setup the same as Sprint not flash it
