Hi guys, I hope you can help me. I searched this in google but can't find any solution.
My tablet is running on Revolver ROM with guevor's kernel and TWRP recovery. I want to go back to stock to send my tab for repair. Is there any way I can go back to stock that does not include nvflash? I downloaded the firmware from the Asus site, and I'm thinking of flashing it in recovery but I'm afraid it's gonna brick it.
Thanks in advance!
You can flash the firmware from Asus, make sure to unzip first and get the 2nd zip file from inside. Full wipe recommended (data, cache and dalvik cache).
Your other option is to use the Easy Flasher and the firmware you download.
Thanks. There's a zip inside the zip. Is that the one I flash in recovery?
Yes flash the zip inside the zip
Thanks for your help. It went pretty well. I'm fully stock now.

Hey guys, I installed cwm through ODIN and it looked like this http://static.masterjason.com/images/xda/cwm-herc-4-0-0-2.png
I then flashed my ROM from stock GB to stock ICS(xxq7)
But the look of my CWM has changed from http://static.masterjason.com/images/xda/cwm-herc-4-0-0-2.png to *WILL UPLOAD*
Home button DOES NOT WORK I have to select thing by pressing the power button.
And inorder to go back I need to navigate to the "..." and select "..."
Kindly help asap as I want to flash ardadat's kernel.
Also enlighten me on HOW TO FLASH A KERNEL!
Thanks.
And MAZEL II dl links aren't working, kindly look into it
First of all this type questions belongs to Q'nA board. As now we are having Q'nA board kindly use it for posting any questions.
As u said u have flashed stock ICS upon ur stock GB. Stock roms (odin flashable packages) comes with stock recovery software. When u flash whole stock rom package it also replace ur recovery and I think that's y after flash u see different recovery software. Simply just flash any CWM package using odin. (U can find collection of adam in dev section).
About flashing kernels. Most of all kernels available for our device are provided in CWM flashable zips by their devs. Simply place zip on ur sd card. Boot in recovery and select install zip. Navigate to zip file and flash it. Kernel will be flashed.

Okay, So I flashed the kernel
Thanks!
Hi. Sometimes after flashing some really cool roms i have enough and want to go back to stock. But because i don't like to relock bootloader and run the ruu.exe i want to make a flashable zip for my recovery. I know i get the rom.zip but i want to know if there is any solution to create a flashable zip for cwm or twrp. Of course without flashing the recovery_singed. so is there any solution to flash it via custom recovery
This might be a repeat, Buttttttttt, Im trying to flash a stock rom onto my gt n8013 and i cant find a .tar or md5 file of a custom rom. I downloaded android revolution which is what i really want to try and it even has md5 in the file name yet it is still a .zip Do i have to just download the stock rom....?
Im stuck in a boot loop and i have no sd card at the moment hence the use of odin, plus i never used it before and wanted to give er a shot. :good:
Thanks :cyclops:
So I have a j700p on boost, rooted it thanks to messi, installed xposed (credits to him too) and I'm using flashfire to flash zips. The problem is I want to install a custom rom and experiment with more risky things, which I'm too afraid to do because I can't backup and restore easily without a custom recovery.
Now I was doing some reading looking for guaranteed compatible roms for my phone, and a couple posts said that you don't need cr too install a custom rom since we have flashfire, however, that still doesn't cover backing up the phone and restoring without cr available. Should I brick my device or get it stuck in a boot loop I don't want to have to wipe and start with stock rom then reroot and install all my stuff again and again.
That leaves me stuck wondering what I should do. Should I just wait patiently while someone develops a cr for it (which I haven't seen anyone post about doing)? Or man up and hope some of these work? I really want to try to create a compatible twrp, but I know nothing about coding with xda, or with any language for that matter. I wouldn't know where to begin with it anyways.
Sorry if it seems like this isn't really a question but the above paragraph contains the questions I have.
Thx for reading!
What id do since its a custom rom and a custom roms dont require the userdata partition with the custom system. Stock roms require a userdata partition with the stock system to be flashed in a tar. id make a backup of the custom roms system, boot, and custom recovery in img format and then use unified toolkits basic toolkit to make the system and boot and custom recovery img a single odin flashable tar with the auto detect partitions option before it builds it.. test it just to make sure it flashes.
Partitions backup and restore..

Unifed toolkit
http://www.skipsoft.net/download/uat-v152/
Toolkit instructions.. download it.. extract it to c:... copy youre custom recovery and boot image and custom system imgs to unified toolkits input folder... go into unified toolkit run it the first time download some files then press 99 for basic tookit.. press 8 for make odin flashable tar... pick make single image of multiple images.... pick auto detect images.... let it build... exit once its done then go to unified toolkits output folder and there is you're odin flashable tar.

Thx for the fast reply like always coffee! That's the thing though, I'm on stock rom rooted and xposed, but I'm trying to get custom rom, but there's no custom recovery for boost mobile j7. I'm not worried about actually installing without the custom recovery (thank you once again chainfire) my issue is I can't restore any rooted backups on a bricked or bootlooping phone WITH that same bricked or bootlooping phone because because the recovery is stock, so the only option is to flash a stock rom back on, root it again, xpose it, then try again. The solution to this would be to make an Odin, adb, or fastboot flashable back up of the rooted stock rom I have now, but I can't make a flashable backup like that because there's no custom recovery to make one, do you see my dilemma?

You could make a stock tar rooted with stock recovery but youd have to include youre userdata partition since its on stock and you could do that with the toolkit and it would be odin flashable..
So do i have to use partitions backup and restore to get the partitions? because boot and recovery dont show up in the list, also my J7 isnt showing up on toolkit either with drivers installed and updated.
edit: Wont show up in windows explorer but shows in devices, tried switching to ptp mode and still no luck, trying to unistall driver and reinstall it but it looks like its also having trouble doing that
edit2: Got my phone to show up, and all is good with pc to phone connection, but the app still cant detect boot or recovery for some reason. I tried searching and so far i cant find anyone else who had the same problem, nor do any search results for that even exist. Ill keep trying though.
