[Q] Is theer a way to revert to stock without a USB port?

This has not happened to me but was wondering if you can re-lock the phone and return it to stock if you have a broken usb port.
Lets assume everything else works, the phone is unlocked and rooted, running a custom rom, and CWR custom recovery is installed.
I assume we can use a terminal on the phone and wifi file explorer, right? This would have been easier with a removable SD card but we don't have that. A step by step may help a poor soul in the future.

You could download efs file explorer and map a network drive through WiFi and copy over the official stock zip file. This will do it all except relock the boot-loader. I did that on a Nexus S where the port was bad and I got it back to stock minus the boot-loader getting re-locked.

[Q] unroot nexus 7 without PC?

My nexus7 (2013) has a non functioning USB and I need to send it in for warranty repair. I cannot connect it to a PC and the otg cable no longer works
I used towel root to root, and then lock the bootloader today (originally used wugfresh to root, but after updating to 4.4.4 I lost root access) but am having trouble unrooting
Using super su the software hangs at the "uninstalling, please wait" message when trying to unroot
Is there a way to unroot the nexus 7 without a PC or the USB cable?

You can use OTA Rootkeeper to unroot, but what you're talking about is relocking the bootloader, which is related but different.
You could try this. I never have and so can't tell you if it works, but it's supposed to on the second-gen N7s.

The bootloader is locked, so that's not what I'm trying to do
I downloaded the ota rootkeeper (thanks for that, haven't dl that one yet) and it shows the device isn't rooted, root permission IS granted and system supports root protection
When I run root checker it shows device is rooted
Any idea how I can unroot so I can send back to asus and but appear to have rooted already?

Strange, OTA Rootkeeper should do the job. You clicked the button to delete su backup, right?
But as long as the bootloader is locked, don't worry about it. Put on a password so any repair techs can't boot into full Android. Odds are they wouldn't need to boot fully anyway, and if they did, when confronted with a password they'd just flash back to stock. They might do it anyway to ensure no problems from software. For this reason it's always advised to make backups before sending devices in.

[Q] How to root (or downgrade) NJ2 without USB connection?

I mistakenly allowed Sprint to update my phone. Towelroot was the solution to rooting without a USB connection before, but this new version is not supported.
Is there anything I can do? I assume Towelroot has no plans to update its S3 exploit, considering the age of the phone.
Thanks for any help.
(The USB port is completely destroyed - including the contacts on the PCB.)

downgrade = brick....you need to fix your USB port in order to root

Phone auto fct. reset after many tries.

Hi everyone. Happy New Year.
Today morning, I told my wife she can't unlock my phone, and so she tries unlocking the pattern many times, and then all of sudden the phone auto factory reset.
I have a unrooted verizon VS98535B LG G3 phone.
I managed to recover the sd card files through my pc, but i can't recover the one in the droid phone. Tried many software and they can't seem to detect the phone. I think it must be because there isn't a drive letter in the PC for it to read.
So, i have a couple of questions before i root.
1. What software should i use to root once to recover files and then unroot it?
2. The reason i would want it unroot is so that i could receive the OTA updates later on.
3. I would also want to sell my phone in the future.
4. What recover software works best for internal memory too?
Thanks!

I tried stump & towelroot, it did not work for me. Am going to try ioroot next. Cross finger.
It seems that ioroot cannot find matching phone model.
and when it goes into the stock recovery mode, there's a sleeping android with exclamation mark saying no command.
Tried LG One Click Root, and it got stuck at 90% with my phone showing 0%. Sigh.
