[4.3][grouper & tilapia] STOCK ROOTED 4.3 (JWR66V) [Flashable Zip]

Hey guys, here is a flashable zip for the new Android 4.3 update.
Features
Still odexed to keep performance optimal
Rooted (Chainfire's special 4.3 SuperSU)
Busybox & Toolbox installed & symlinked
Added some useful tools such as vim, nano, openvpn, cpustats and more
Changed the boring nexus bootanimation to the Google Play edition devices animation

TILAPIA
Direct Download: http://goo.im/devs/Androguide/Nexus7/Stock-Rooted-4.3/AOSP-4.3-JWR66V-tilapia-rooted_Androguide.zip
Instructions
Wipe /data, /cache & dalvik-cache (wiping /system is recommended, but not mandatory I guess)
Flash the ROM
If the recovery says the stock recovery might be flashed over and asks you to disable it, answer NO.
Reboot & Enjoy
Updating Bootloader/Radio
This is not mandatory.
If you want to update your bootloader or radio (radio is for tilapia only, obviously), here are the images:
Grouper:
bootloader: http://d-h.st/QFd
Tilapia
bootloader: http://d-h.st/4Gr
radio: http://d-h.st/XCW
You'll also need fastboot for your platform (just search on google or xda, or install the Android SDK).
I will not provide flashable zips for these as I do not believe it is safe to flash a bootloader via recovery (be it by using dd or by copying the raw image directly).
To update bootloader (replace XXX with grouper or tilapia depending on your model):
Code:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-[COLOR="DarkRed"]XXX[/COLOR]-4.23.img
To update radio
Code:
fastboot flash radio radio-tilapia-1231_0.18.0_0409.img
Tips
Titanium Backup users: Point TBU to /storage/emulated/legacy instead of /storage/emulated/0
If enough people request it I'll do the same for the 3G model.
Enjoy

First!!
Thank you!!!
EDIT:
I confirm the room is running very well and smooth

Great!
Will try it out now!
Thank you! :good:

Oh wow, not only are you amazing for putting this .zip together for us too lazy to figure out how to install the image itself, but if this keeps root, you are officially the best person in the world today. Many thanks.

What about new Bootloader version ? will this update the bootloader by itself ?

What were to happen if I flashed this on my 3G version ?

Nope, if you want to update your bootloader you'll need to fastboot it, I attached the new bootloader to this post if you need it.
The fastboot command is
Code:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-grouper-4.23.img

It probably wouldn't boot until you flash a compatible rom
EDIT: actually, the updater-script wouldn't let you install it, it checks in your current build.prop if ro.product.board is set to grouper

Awesome, thanks!

How is this for grouper when Google doesn't call it grouper anymore? You sure this is the right ROM then?

Here is an excerpt from the 4.3 build.prop:
Code:
ro.product.name=nakasi
ro.product.device=grouper
The nakasi/grouper thing isn't new, it's always been this way.
And obviously I tested it before uploading --'
However, I made a mistake by using ChainsDD's superuser binary & apk, I just saw that Chainfire created a special version of SuperSU that works on 4.3 as it apparently has some new restrictions to get root access working.
So I am currently re-uploading the rom with working root courtesy of Chainfire. Sorry about that guys.

I seriously doubt he would have posted a 3g (mobile) build for the grouper (wifi) .. I also wouldn't second guess someone nice enough to go out of their way to put this new flashable build out there for us either.. Make a backup, if it doesn't work, restore..

So flash the zip first then the bootloader in fastboot mode?

Link still says Uploading? Is it ready now?

Could you please post your checksums, I have downloaded with three different machines on two different networks and I got the same checksums different from the website one, nakasig 4.4

Works great! If you have nexus 7 toolkit it's a piece of cake to load. Now rooting next step ?

You have to install this apk. You don't need to install it as system app or to delete the old launcher, just to have this normally installed near your Launcher.

Hi,
just flashed factory image onto tilapia.
I'm missing the wlan-tethering option in the settings.
Does anybody have a clue where it has gone?

Please could you post the steps taken and which toolkit used please?! thanks (e.g. mskip's? unified or n7? version?)
Did you lose your data on the internal storage in the process? Thanks in advance

Flashed with n7 toolkit. Downloaded .tar to PC and placed it in the n7 toolkit backup folder. Started the toolkit chose "99", then option to flash factory image - unsure of option number at the moment. Used wildcard input for image then followed prompting. Yes it did a full format of data. No problems aware of.

It's not part of the factory image. It was the same case with JB. You need to wait for rom developers to enable it in custom roms.

Hey guys.
I made a small batch file that will flash the 2nd Bootloader and TWRP recovery to the 2012 Kindle Fire HD 7".
I also included adb and fastboot executables so that it can be used without Android SDK.
But I need someone to have a look at this thing to make sure that it works. I don't want to brick anyone's device.
Please PM me if you want to test it.
Thanks.

Awesome tool and im sure it has taken a while to do it! so you have a Go from me. maybe someone with stock can try Option 2, I was looking at the tool in notepad++ and all seems to be correct so i don't think there would be a problem doing the backup.! :good:

I have ported roms in the past to Kindle Fire HD from the Nexus tabs. It's way easier to port than to build a rom from scratch. The tricky part is finding the easiest roms to work with.

Well I can't do either.
Wouldn't we want to get something on here other than stock?
I'll take a port! Lol

Well I would think that you would need a working custom recovery with external SD card support first. Though the big feature I am looking forward to is a kernel that supports Roehsoft Ram Expander (swap) which while it works fine on my S3 does not work at all on the Tab 4 7.0.

There is a fully working recovery with SDcard read/write support as mentioned in THIS post.
What I did was downloaded the TWRP 2.8.0.1 .img for t230 then flashed it over the older non-working TWRP using #Rashr. It works for me on SM-T230NU and wipe works. Dalvik/Cache, everything.

I resstored the device in odin to the latest factory firmware then flashed the twrp in odin, rebooted directly to recovery and flashed supersu. Rebooted to system, set up all my stuff and flashed the new twrp over the old twrp using rashr. I had to reboot once to set up rashr before i could flash but, it all worked perfectly for me

cant start over if it wont turn on at all and i believe the battery is dead and it wont charge.

[XL]Multirom! Anyone up? Test 1

I recently ported MultiROM to Xperia M and I have the sources up and I am willing not to waste them.
Disclaimer : I am not responsible for anything that happens to you or your device after flashing this mod. Though, nothing generally happens when you do it right. Make backup, always.
I have ported it xperia M
Here are some files for testing
You need CM-12.1 installed to test this.
Links removed
RECOVERY.IMG - To be flashed on fota partition
XL_CM-kexec-xx-xx-xxxx.zip - To be flashed in recovery
multirom-xxxxxxxx-v31x-UNOFFICIAL-taoshan.zip - To be flashed in recovery
Next boot should come up with multirom menu
If it does, post screens, if doesn't , post last_kmsg.
Due to lack of my knowledge, I have dismissed this project.

I used sources and device tree from CM's repo
Doesn't matter, because I had removed assert from updater-script and no ROM flashing is required in here.
So all files must be good and compatible.

Hey, great job in compiling this. I want to try this out but what are the risks? Can I get hardbricked?

The recovery included in the recovery.img is Cyanogen Recovery.
So cannot able to flash those zips.
I heard MultiROM uses modded TWRP.
Please check

The common cm device tree is not able to build a twrp properly... Im building with omnirom and a "changed" varun tree

Ohk I did not know about invalid recovery in fota partition would result in loading recovery from boot partition.
And its really a nice idea of you compiling modded TWRP, as soon as you are done, feel free to share as I am ready with other zips

i did have a look at this recovery.img ... its definitly a TWRP build... but its damn wrong.... wrong qcom.fstab and recovery.fstab ... NO twrp.fstab ... healthhd seems to have wrong size (ok im not 100% with that but experience says it must be bigger) ... the Size of theme images is wrong.... AND the ramdisk size is totally above the size the kernel will load... thats why it leads to a "broken" recovery-load .... that will lead to a emergency load of kernel-inbuild recovery....
@ OP didnt you got make errors? after seeing this im sure you have build with -i -k

ok without any kind of warranty that this will work... i have manipulated this recovery.img (NOT BUILD FROM SOURCE! MANUALLY REPAIR! ) ... maybe this works maybe not....
like you know my device is gone atm.... so maybe if my device is back i will have a deeper look into this...

I recently ported MultiROM to Xperia M and I have the sources up and I am willing not to waste them.

By making blind builds, you do "waste" the source code.

I used sources and device tree from CM's repo

And you seriously expect a working build?

No, definitely not. He just used my sources (XperiaMultiROM) to compile it, which is a piece of cake. Honestly, if porting MultiROM was just a matter of compiling, monkeys could do it too.
OP: Blind builds are not encouraged on XDA. Especially when they're untested and broken.
And no, this shouldn't hardbrick your phone. You'll need to reflash your kernel and the system partition in the worst case.

BTW maybe you let a word down on cm12.1 thread? Its a while ago now as varun said you will maintain our device... It would be nice to have a word from yourself about if its true or not

Thank You.
Please apply for closure of the thread

To everyone:
I am sorry for doing it all wrong and blindly. I just had ported to a similar device and had it working perfectly.
Never knew CM sources wouldn't work for XL. Basically I trusted on CM people for device tree and kernel, which I shouldn't have definitely.
If anyone feels to, can apply for closing down the thread. I have other devices, I'll try getting it to work on them.
Thank you
