Need help. Cannot recovery after ICS update attemp. - LG Optimus 2x

Hi guys,
I tried to update my 2x from 20e to ICS today but it was unsuccessful (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1959545). I tried to do recovery from the CMW as recommended but it fails. Error/ mounting system. When I reboot its stuck on LG logo. I have tried do recovery using NVflash but not successful either (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975274&page=5).
My previous setting: v20e. CWM 5.0.2.7.
Its been months since my last update for the 20e. I am not sure I am on the right driver. CMW version etc. and I have just use win7 from vista last two months. I am not sure if that affect too.
Any help are much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Do you click on the batch file, or on the nvflash .exe file? You should use the batch file, not the .exe. Also, open command prompt first, and run the batch file from there -- you will see all the errors and other messages. (I should probably put this in my signature, as I already mentioned it probably half a dozen times in different topics...)

It's the backup that you create in CWM.

Thanks for the feedback..how do I run batch file from command prompt?
Isit goto window-->cmd-->type: c:\nvflash\nvflash? I have created the "nvflash: folder in C.
Back to the source, I tried to follow as the instruction:
-Download the attached file and unzip it. The pack includes the APX driver (folder driver)
1.- Remove the battery to the phone.
2.- Press and hold Vol- and Vol+ and without releasing the 2 keys connect the USB cable to the PC
3.- Go to the NVFlash folder and run:
3a.- Windows should detect a new device APK, cancel the installation and install the driver which includes the ROM.
3b.- On Linux not ago missing driver.
4.- Browse to the folder where you unzipped the RAR and typing CMD in the breadcrumb bar, Linux opens the console.
- Type:
Windows
Code:
flash.bat
When I extract the file, the driver folder amd64 folder, i386 folder and nvidiausb file. I didn't see APX folder/file.
I am not clear abot step #3 open nvflash & run: (I am not sure what to run)
# How to go about in step 4? This is what I have tried. Go to the folder, type cmd, then type "flash.bat"
I see this:
c:\nvflasf>echo "flashendo lg optimus 2x" flashendo lg optimus 2x......
c:\nvflasf>nvflash.exe --bct star.bct --bct -- configfile android_fastboot_emm
c_ful.cfg - create -- bl.fastboot. bin -- go
Nvflash started
rcm version 0x20001
command send failed (usb write failed)
c:nvflash\ scho "listo!" listo!
Need help, I am sure where I do wrong.
Update: Somehow I made the recovery, same procedure as above. (Big thanks to Homero2 for the tools)
I wanna ask some question:
1-I have redo the ICS update (ICS extended by TonyP and Harsh). I encounter same problem as before (error 7). Any tips where might go wrong or what I should check before flashing.
2-Where I can flash from here (from Homero2 ROM)? GB only or I can flash to ICS or JB?
3-I try update the ROM manager via google play..but I think its only 5.2.0.7 version. Does higher version (v6) for ICS and do I need to do recovery before flashing via ROM manager?
Thanks in advance.

[GUIDE] Return to stock using FXZ for Linux/OS X

Here's a guide on how to restore to stock using the FXZ for OS X/Linux users.
1. Download one of the following fastboot binaries: fastboot-OSX or fastboot-linux and rename it to just "fastboot"
2. Download the FXZ and untar it anywhere.
3. Plug in your phone to your computer (preferably a back USB port if you're on a desktop, don't use a front USB port if possible) and shut it down (leave it plugged in).
4. Hold down the vol-down button on the rocker and boot the phone up, it should boot into AP Fastboot Flash Mode and it should say "OK to Program".
5. Run the following commands in terminal
Code:
./path/to/fastboot flash system /path/to/system.img
./path/to/fastboot flash boot /path/to/boot.img
./path/to/fastboot flash recovery /path/to/recovery.img
./path/to/fastboot -w
6. Shut off the phone by pressing the power button.
7. Boot back up and you should be back to stock!
Thanks for posting this for us linux users. Hopefully I won't have to use it any time soon haha

I am doing it right now. There are some issues. Without sudo, you'll get permission denied. With sudo, you'll get "./fastboot: command not found". After changing fastboot to be executable without sudo, you'll get "./fastboot: cannot execute binary file". With sudo, you'll get "./fastboot: 3: Syntax error: "(" unexpected"...so short story, this does not work properly yet

Bionic Restorer for Linux/Mac
OK, I'm finished with the new MotoRooter for Mac/Linux - naming it BionicRestorer because it's completely different. Right now it's in my Dropbox Folder, still no where to put it - lol.
Here's the link to BionicRestorer.zip
For Mac and Linux people - it's BionicRestorer v1.0
A way to flashboot restore your Bionic to 5.5.893
Download it, unzip it, cd into the BionicRestorer directory and type ./BionicRestorer.sh to run it. Mac folks can double click on the Mac-BionicRestorer.command file in that directory.
Linux People - this is solid, I've run it on LinuxMint (Ubuntu) and Scientific Linux (Redhat) and it worked everytime without a glitch.
Mac People - This is tempermental on the Mac, I've tried it on 3 different
Mac's and it worked sporadically on a Macbook Air running 10.7.2, didn't work on the iMac at all running 10.7.2,
and worked consistently on a Macbook running 10.6.8. Use at your OWN RISK!!!! If it hangs, all I
can is - try it again, or, run Linux, or, use RSDlite on Windows.
I can say that it worked consistently on a Macbook running 10.6.8
Option 3 (restore system, boot, recovery seems to work well on a Mac, but,
NOTE that these files are from v5.5.893! If you select option 3 you had better have flashed or updated to that version perviously, or, it will most likely bootloop when it finishes.
Note - This does NOT contain the actual files needed for flashing,
just the brains to flash them. You will need to download the zipfile
VRZ_XT875_5.5.893.XT875.Verizon.en.US_CFC_01.xml.zip from
http://rootzwiki.com...893-fxz-leaked/
then unzip it into the BionicRestorer directory.
Once it is extracted there should be a directory named:
VRZ_XT875_5.5.893.XT875.Verizon.en.US_CFC_01.xml
which contains all the files needed to do a flash restore.
And the menu looks like this:
BionicRestorer.sh (1.0) by crpeck
1. Restore a Bionic to 5.5.893 - NOT FOR 5.9.901 BIONICS!
-restores EVERYTHING to official 5.5.893
-wipes data
2. Restore a 5.9.901 Bionic to 5.5.893
-restores EVERYTHING EXCEPT for the cdt.bin to 5.5.893
-cdt.bin is restored using the 5.9.901 file
-wipes data
** YOU SHOULD ONLY USE THIS IF YOU ARE OR HAVE BEEN ON 5.9.901 **
3. Minimal Restore of system, boot, and recovery only
-restores ONLY the system,boot and recovery to official 5.5.893,
4. Root and ForeverRoot a non-rooted Bionic
-roots and installs the ForeverRoot hack
5. Copy 5.9.901 update file to sdcard
-this copies the unoffical 5.9.901 update file to your sdcard
chances are, your Bionic will bug you to do an update when it see's it
there, you can usually force it via the 'Check for Updates' screen.
6. Verify MD5sums of the flash image files (you should do this at least once)
7. Help - More detailed Information
q. Quit
NOTE: Selections 1-3 do NOT root the phone! Run 4 after running them.
By Your Command (1-7,q):
I took the .xml file from the VRZ_XT875_5.5.893.XT875.Verizon.en.US_CFC_01.xml.zip and re-wrote it into shell scripts (i also took out the piece in there that erases the internal sdcard - who wants to lose that - lol). There is a considerably amount of error-checking as well, but, I'm sure I missed something (which will result in v 1.1).
I encourage you to look through the scripts, feel free to modify and make it better! This may be the last release of this from me, as work is replacing my Bionic with a gnex in the near future - gonna miss the Bionic, it's been a fun learning tool.
Enjoy....
Oh - look at the 00_README_1ST.txt file - it's similar to this writeup, and, select the help option for more detailed information.
I've have to give this a try. I keep forgetting I have Ubuntu(dual-boot) on this thing. Heh

Help O2x bricked nvflash not working

Hi i recently tried to install a recovery from rom manager, but it installed one for g2x so then nothing could mount in recovery and when i tried to flash, something failed and now my device is bricked. I then found this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1229407&page=5 which i was able to recognise my device as a NVIDIA usb boot recovery drive but every time i press flash-recovery.bat and chose the partition, it says nvflash is not recognised as a command.... and whenever i press nvflash.exe itself, the cmd window appears for one second and it disappears. The package has all the drivers for nvflash but it doesnt friggin work. HELP
You need to flash an entire rom with nvflash, because you messed up the partition table (p990 and p999 have different partitions). With this guide you'll flash only the recovery...
After that you need to flash a proper baseband
Have you a g2x or an o2x?

I have the same problem as him. Anyhelp?
I think you may try to reflash your device with the original firmware (KDZ file) which you can download from LG. Whole process is described in here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18946763
Please note that recently LG has changed something in their tools and now you have to "fool" them to do what you want them to. Please see this thread for details:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1473781
Hope this will help you.
if it says that nvflash is not a recognised command, then edit the .bat to point to your nvflash.exe instead of just saying nvflash. (C:\path\to\your\nvflash.exe)

Complete Installation Guide for JB or ICS on a Nexus One (Updated 12/29/12)

I initially looked for a complete update guide on here and eventually found all the information I needed, but it was in multiple places and sometimes hard to find. After getting everything installed on my N1 I thought I would write a guide for other noobs like me that want to try out ICS or JB but would like a step-by-step guide. I hope that it is helpful. SpazeDog ROMs (both ICS and JB) are working wonderfully on my N1 - its a very nice update from CM7 with only minor issues so far.
Note: this was initially written specifically for SpazeDog roms, but as they have not been updated in a while I have provided links to other popular roms as well. If you would like to try a different ICS or JB rom this guide should work, just substitute with the appropriate rom and depending on the one you choose, you may also need to install Google apps.
If you looking at this guide and don't know the basics yet, check out the Newbie Friendly thread first.
Links to popular roms that will work using this guide:
Evervolv JB 4.2
Evervolv JB 4.1
CM 10, JB 4.1.2 by vijendrahs
CM 10, JB 4.2.1 by vijendrahs
Spazedog ICS/JB
Disclaimer: This guide involves making changes to your phone that potentially could brick your phone leaving it unusable. I am not liable for any changes you make or problems you may have with your phone. You should at least be familiar with entering commands using command prompt. This procedure will erase ALL the data on your phone. Make sure you have a backup of everything. A nandroid backup is highly recommended. Proceed at your own risk.
Before we get started make sure you have the following: a rooted Nexus One, a USB cable to attach your phone to a computer, and the Android SDK. If you are just now installing the Android SDK, open the SDK manager and make sure to install the "Tools" and in "Extras" the "Google USB Driver" are checked off and download them. Alternatively, you just download ADB and Fastboot (search this forum or google). If you have a Mac see this thread to get started with ADB and Fastboot.
If you Nexus One is NOT already rooted, then follow this guide from Cyanogenmod to root your phone. If you plan to use the adb commands below (they are optional) make sure you have usb debugging enabled: go to "Settings" → "Applications" → "Development" → enable "USB debugging."
Step 1 - Download everything you will need:
4EXTRecovery Updater - the first link will download the .apk to your computer or phone.
BlackRose - go down to bottom of the first post to "Attached Files" and download the latest BlackRose zip file. If you don't want to do it yourself, check out this thread to flash a pre-made partition scheme. Often the developers (Evervolv) will also have a partition schemes that you can flash via Fastboot from your PC as well.
Your rom of choice - go to the downloads section and choose which rom you would like to try. Download the zip installation file.
Since you will be decreasing the size of your partition that apps can be stored on consider something like Mounts2SD or AD2SDX to move apps to your SD card.
Step 2 - Install and use 4EXTRecovery Updater on your phone:
The easiest thing to do is go to the 4ext link above, download and install it, directly from your nexus one. You can also install it by copying the APK file to your SD card, then using a file manager to find it and install it or you can use command prompt by opening command prompt, cd to the location of the Android SDK tools, and then type in the following command (replacing "path" with the path to where the APK is located on your computer):
Code:
adb install /path/4EXTRecoveryUpdater.apk
After you have installed 4ext open the 4EXT Recovery Updater. Tap "Settings" → "Allow" superuser request → "Yes" to connect to 4ext to get new data. Now select "Online install/upgrade" → "Yes" assuming it detects your nexus one correctly → select and install the latest 4ext recovery (at the top of the list).
After 4ext has installed, it will have placed a recovery image on your SD card - find it (its called recover.img) and it should be located in SD/Download/4EXT_Recovery_Touch/ folder. Copy this to your computer in case something goes wrong later and you need to re-flash the recovery image!
After installation of the 4ext recovery turn off your phone and boot into recovery by turning off your phone, turning it on again while holding the trackball down. This will boot into the bootloader, then press the power button once, use Volume Down to select "recovery" and press the trackball to select. Alternatively you can use the command prompt:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
Your phone should now boot into the 4ext recovery menu. Before moving on make sure you have any important stuff backed up because you are about to erase your entire SD card! Select "tools" →“partition sd card” → “remove all partitions and start from scratch.” Then for the 1st partition select “1024″ for a 1GB partition (this will be where ICS will be able to put your applications & data). Select "skip" for the 2nd partition and for the swap partition. Finally select the system “ext4″.
Step 3 - Copy the Evervolv, SpazeDog, or whatever zip installation file you have chosen to your phone's SD card
Download the ICS or JB zip file above and copy it to the root of your newly formatted SD card.
Step 4 - Installing and using BlackRose to resize the system partition:
Download the BlackRose application and install it on your computer. (Alternatively people have made flash-able partition schemes that you can just flash from your PC - usually links and instructions are provided in the installation rom's thread, Evervolv's here. If you do have access to a computer you can check out this thread).
Make sure your nexus one is attached via USB to your computer.
Open the BlackRose application - it will install and reboot your phone. Then follow along as shown in this video to resize your partitions for a JB ROM.
If you plan to install the ICS rom then use the video above as a guide but use the numbers (sizes) for the different partitions as indicated below.
After BlackRose has installed you will need to restart the application. After it has started up and recognized your device select "apply stock/custom blackrose" by typing in 1 and enter.
Then select "custom blackrose" by typing in 2.
Then type "resize" when prompted.
Now you will need to change the sizes of the system partition to 220 for ICS or 260 for JB.
Change the cache size to 8.
Finally name the new system partition, either "ICS" or "JB" depending on what you plan to install.
Note: some people have reported having problems getting into recovery at this point (if not move on to step 5). If that happens, luckily for you, 4ext put a recovery image in the downloads folder of your SD card and if you did what I said in step 2 you saved it. Try reflashing that recovery image using fastboot (remember the one that was in SD/Download/4EXT_Recovery_Touch/ and was named "recovery.img"). Put your phone into the bootloader by turning off your phone, turning it on again while holding the trackball down. To reflash the recovery open command prompt and cd to the location of the Android SDK tools. Then type in the following command (replacing "path" with the path to where the recovery image is located on your computer):
Code:
fastboot flash recovery /path/recovery.img
If that does not solve your problems (inability to get into recovery) then I would recommend going back to the cyanogenmod wiki and installing Amon_Ra's recovery. Then you can use it to flash your installation zip.
Step 5 - Install JB or ICS:
Now turn your phone off and boot into recovery as you did in step 2.
4ext will load. Select "wipe/format" → "format all partitions (except sdcard)" and then also "wipe data/factory reset."
Now go back and select "install from sdcard" → "choose zip from sdcard" → and then select the ICS or JB zip you copied to the SD card in step 3.
Now either the ICS/JB installer will load or it will just install in one step. Just follow the prompts to install and enjoy.
Depending on the ROM you chose you may need to install Google apps (see the specific ROM thread for details) and will also likely want to flash an apps-to-SD script as mentioned above so you do not run out of space.
This method worked perfectly for me, hopefully it will work well for you as well. Enjoy.
Great work, your guide is amazing!!! I followeed it and ended with an infinite bootanimation , I'm trying to discover what I did wrong :fingers-crossed:, but the guide was superb!

I am sorry to hear that. Can you boot into recovery or is that broken as well? If you can boot into ext recovery try selecting "wipe/restore" → "wipe data/factory reset" and then try to install BCM again. I probably should have added that above, I will do that now.
If your recovery is broken but you can get into the bootloader (holding down trackball while starting up), you should be ok. You will probably need to flash Amon_Ra's Recovery using Hboot as was described in the guide from cyanogenmod link above. If there is a way to directly hboot flash 4ext recovery I don't know how to do it. Then you can try installing BCM again from the Amon_Ra's recovery and re-install 4ext after you get everything working.
I tried the Texasice ROM and it worked, but I didn't like it! Later I tried again BCM and It worked! I dont know, maybe I did something wrong... Anyway thanks again for the guide!!

I am not sure which part you are referring to, but, yes, a few of the above instructions could be replaced with fastboot commands.
The adb commands, instead using adb I can use fastboot commands right. That's what I used to root my n1 kinda familiar with fastboot. Thx

I used the adb commands above because you can use adb to reboot directly into recovery (fastboot you can only reboot normally or into the bootloader) and you can also use adb to directly install apk files - fastboot cannot do those two things - it is more for flashing images (recovery, roms, etc). In order for adb to work make sure you have usb debugging enabled: go to "Settings" → "Applications" → "Development" → enable "USB debugging."
Note that adb commands are not required - you can reboot into recovery and install the 4ext manually.
It won't let me post a link right now, but just google "adb commands" to find a list of all the commands you can use.
Hope that helps.
Thx. All I need it was to install black rose and partition it. Put zip on SD card wipe and flash. Installation was easier than I thought it would be lol
Also on ur guide you forgot to put 200 for the data part. You only had 220 and 16
Thx again got ics installed on my n1 smoother than cm 7.2

Yeah, its not bad - glad you got it working! ICS has been smoother than cm 7.2 for me as well.
Blackrose didn't ask me about userdata - it just assumed that automatically after putting in 220 system and 16 cache... I'll make note of that in the guide so its clearer. Thanks.
Got the issue with not being able to get into recovery after step 4, but I don't have the recovery image to flash. Once the SD card was formatted in step 2 I don't have a download folder. I attached what is in my SD card right now. Help please.
Look for "recovery.img"

Try to find if there is a "recovery.img" anywhere on your SD card, perhaps in the 4ext folder?
If you can't find it, do not worry, you can just go to the first page of this thread, click on the link labeled "follow this guide from Cyanogenmod" and then go to the section on how to download and install Amon_Ra's Recovery. Once you get Amon_Ra's recovery flashed you will be able to install any ROM of your choice.
You can reinstall the 4ext recovery later if you want.

OK I'm stuck on what the path name is suppose to be. I tried it every way I can think of. Can you take a look at my screen shot, and tell me where I'm going wrong? The recovery image is on my desktop, so I'm not sure what exactly I should be replacing "path" with. I tried it from the link, and how you have it in your note. You don't have the "/to/" after path as in the CM link.
Well I tried a couple more times, and I can get it to seemingly do it, but it just hangs on this: (see screen shot) I get no error, and if I try to enter recovery on the phone I still get the reboot to the android and triangle with the ! in it.
place the recovery under the folder which contains fastboot.exe and rename it to recovery.img
now use the command
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img from platform-tools directory

And right-click this folder while pressing the SHIFT key on your keyboard. Then choose "Open command window here".

WOW Thank you both. I spent literally hours yesterday trying to get it to work. Tried your suggestions, and in five minutes it was up and running!
---------- Post added at 12:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:33 AM ----------
I may have spoke too soon. I followed the instructions to the end. Installed the ROM, and rebooted, but now after the X I get the Spazdog splash screen with the big Z in the middle and green dots moving, but it stays there forever. I waited 20 minutes one time. Tried reflashing, but I get the same thing.
---------- Post added at 01:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:31 PM ----------
Just giving an update on progress (in case someone else is in my boat too) Flashed back to stock GB. Reinstalled recovery, and reflashed Spaz. Got past the X, and the splash screen, but now it's stuck on the Android logo that looks like the night rider beam that goes across the word. Been there now for about 10 minutes.
You do have Blackrose, right?
Yep. Installed everything according to OP. I think it may be the partition sizes as I think flashing back to GB messed with them. It says 220 and 10, but after checking some threads, it looks like there is one missing (userdata). I tried flashing a custom GB from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1214543&page=98 and I was able to install everything. Got it up and running, so I'm going to start over for ICS, or do you think I can flash one of these for ICS http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1637166 , and then just flash the ROM after?
220/10 means that you have 220MB for system and 10MB for cache, everything that's left will be userdata, so it doesn't ask (total is ~436MB, so userdata will be ~206MB in that case).
In HBOOT you can check how large your partitions are, or you could use the FreeSpace app for example. Always make sure your system partition is large enough before flashing a ROM.

Boot loop problem

Hello,
I tried installing a custom ROM on my 7310 and it had issues. I have tried installing the original ICS from the sammyfirmware site using ODIN. Now I have a boot loop. I think I need to repartition, but when I click the repartition checkbox in ODIN I get an error.
Do I need to repartition? If so, how do I do it? If not, how do I fix this error?
Thanks.
A few questions:

What did you try to flash and how did you try doing it (CWM, ODIN, ...)?

How far into the boot sequence does it get?
Are you able to get into recovery?
If so, what recovery do you have (Stock vs CWM)?
Have you tried seeing what is causing the boot-loop using adb?

I used CWM to flash AOSP 4.1.2. It seemed to work fine for a day or two, but then it needed charging (as normal). I let it charge over night and in the morning it had less battery. I figured the charger or cable were flaky so I tried another set on another outlet and same thing. Then it finally ran out of battery. I let it charge again over night and when I tried to turn it on it was really slow. The boot animation was only 1 frame every couple seconds. It would eventually boot all the way up, but it was still REALLY slow. So I went into CWM and reflashed the same ROM. Then I got a boot loop of the boot animation. I couldn't get into CWM any more, so then I went into download mode and flashed the official firmware and flashed it with ODIN.

Now when I turn it on it just says, "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
I can flash again with ODIN and it will get to the Samsung boot animation and just pulse SAMSUNG.

If I hold power and volume down I can get into download mode or Samsung recovery, not CWM, and power with volume up doesn't do anything.

This worked for me with similar problem
Hi Spazlon,
Sorry I'm not allowed to post links yet as I am also very fresh. But I've underlined the addresses so you should be able to find them
I just spent the best of 2 days trying to solve a similar issue - my 8.9 P7300 kept running in boot loop. It had been running ICS stable for several weeks, then suddenly started to loop boot for no good reason. Anyway - you need two programs installed on your computer as well as USB drivers for your tablet. The two programs are Odin and SDK developer package. Odin3 v 1,87 and 1.85 are found here: filecrop.com/Odin-1.87 - try some of the links, one of them should work without having to type a password. The SDK is found here: developer.android.com/sdk You can find more about how to use the developer package on that site as well, but I installed as support for Android 2.1 through to 4.1
Also install the USB driver files for your tablet on your PC. For example from here: xpdrivers.com/usb/_1_24.cfm?gclid=CL2iDs7MCFWF7cAodxFYANQ
You also need the following recovery files which you can find by searching the developer forum for galaxy tab 8.9:
ClockworkMod_Recovery_v5.5.0.4.tar
P73xx_Stock_Recovery.tar
Clockwork_Recovery_6.0.0.8_GT-P7300.zip
and finally a ROM of your choice, for example the ICS rom cm-9-20121028-NIGHTLY-p5.zip that I just used. You can find the latest official ICS ROM's here get.cm/?device=p5
Now - hold down the volume down button on one of the boot cycles. You should now get into a menu with two choices - Download and Recovery. Default is "Download" - if you press volume down you switch between the two choices. Press volume up to select the choice you want.
First you want to select the "Download" option. Then connect your tablet to your PC. The drivers should now install and your tablet should read that you are connected.
Now start Odin3. Click the PDA button and select your P73xx_Stock_Recovery.tar file. Then press Start.
Once finished the tablet will reboot, and you now need to once again get into the recovery menu. Now select the recovery option, not the download menu. You get into the stock recovery menu where you navigate with the volume buttons and select choices with the power button. Do a full factory reset and wipe the cache. WARNING - you will loose ALL your data, but it'either that or stick to a bricked tablet so.... You will also loose your root access,m which is why the next step is needed.
Now that everything is wiped clean you can use Odin again in "download mode" to install ClockworkMod_Recovery_v5.5.0.4.tar with the same procedure as before. You now have root access.
Reboot again and once again into the recovery mode (not download mode). Once you get into the CWM recovery menu you are ready for the final step, which is to install your new operating system.
Go to your SDK installation folder and find the folder named "platform-tools".
First you want to copy two files into this folder (provided you want to install Cynaogen Mod 9):
Clockwork_Recovery_6.0.0.8_GT-P7300.zip
and
Your ROM file of choice
Press shift and right-click in that folder and select "Open command window here". In the command prompt write
adb shell
Note - I had some problems here which was caused by lack of permissions. On your tablet in the CWM menu there should be a choice under the advanced menu for fixing permissions. Use that and you should be able to get into the terminal shell afterwards with the adb shell command
Now write the following command sequence:
• mount /data (don't worry if you get an error message - it means the folder is already mounted)
• cd /data
• mkdir media (if you get an error message saying the folder already exists, that's also OK!)
• exit
• adb push Clockwork_Recovery_6.0.0.8_GT-P7300.zip /data/media
Now you may have to wait a little while until your command prompt is back confirming that the file was uploaded.
Now on your tablet go to the menu point "install zip from sdcard" and find your CWM file that you just uploaded and run that.
Reboot once again into the "recovery mode" - we are now nearly finished.
Run the above push command again from the computer terminal window, this time to upload the ROM file you want to install. (the command is adb push [filename].zip /data/media)
Now on your CWM recovery menu once again run the zip file you just uploaded from the "install zip from sdcard" menu
When completed and you now reboot you should have a completely fresh android installation. Hope this helps.
Remember to mark this thread with solved if it works!
Thanks to kallt_kaffe and all the others who helped me through their various posts (hope that coffee isn't getting too cold again), as well as the following web sites that indirectly helped me resolve this issue googleymind.com/2011/11/guide-so-you-think-you-bricked-your.html#.UJUNN8XAd8G and galaxytabhacks.com/galaxy-tab-10-1-hacks/how-to-root-galaxy-tab-10-1-the-easy-way/
Good luck.
Thanks! I'll give this a try when I get home. I'll let you know how it works out.
Don't ever try to 'repartion unless you really know what you're doing. You're soft bricked. Repartion and you'll hard brick.
I'd go back and get hc from sammobile and flash that with Odin. Ics has had some problems.

Agreed - my procedure avoids manual repartitioning - I tried lots of other procedures but none worked. I think my data partition had become corrupt because I kept getting error messages. My first try was to recover with my cwm recovery file I made originally but I kept getting back to the boot loop .

I followed the steps outlined by mobjunky and was able to get an official Honeycomb ROM installed, boot the official and copy my custom ROM and CWM 6.0.0.8 on it. Then install CWM 5.4.0.4 followed by 6.0.0.8.
Now my problem is that any custom ROM I put on there just does a boot screen loop. I tried CM10 and the latest AOSP. To install the ROMs I just booted into CWM, installed the ROM from zip, then installed the gapps. I've tried with and without formatting the cache, user data, and Dalkiv, same results.
What am I doing wrong? I have loaded tons of ROMs on this before without any issues, then all of a sudden I can't get anything except official loaded.

did a format /system before installing the custom roms? This is an important step.

This fixed it. Never had to do it with any of my other devices. CM10 loaded quickly after that. Loving how fast JB is!

Android 4.2.1 (JOP40D) for Nexus 7

Android 4.2.1 (JOP40D) for Nexus 7 Wifi and 3G+
Manual Update Available [Updated]​
Install:
Those with a custom recovery can just download the zip below, move it to their device, and flash away. If you're running stock recovery, substituting only the zip file name in Step 2.
Just after users began reporting that your Google Nexus N7 device were receiving an update to Android 4.2 Jelly Bean (build JOP40C, to be precise), it looks like the manual update package is available for download. As could be expected, this coincides almost perfectly with the launch of Google's newest additions to the Nexus family – the Nexus 4 and 10.
For those ready to download and install manually, the process is easy. If you have a custom recovery, just download the zip (linked below), move it to your device, and flash as usual. Those with stock recovery should keep the file on their computer, and just follow a few easy instructions:
Disclaimer: I'm not responsible in case of brick of your device - proceed at your own risk.​
Step 1.
- Reboot your Google Nexus 7, holding the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons while it boots up. Once you see the fastboot menu and "Start," press Volume Up to navigate to "Recovery" and press the power button. Once you see an Android with a red exclamation point icon, press Volume Up and the Power button together, which will bring you to a new menu. Navigate to "apply update from adb."
Step 2.
- Connect your Google N7 to your computer with a USB cable.
- Make sure you have a recent version of adb that supports the sideload command (if you don't, download the latest Android SDK to ensure your adb is up-to-date).
- Open up a command prompt (cmd in Windows, regular shell in Linux and Mac) in the same directory as the JOP40C zip file you've downloaded.
Type in the following:
For the Nexus 7 "NAKASI"
Code:
adb sideload 659e6288b87d.signed_nakasi_JOP40D_from_JOP40C.659e6288.zip
For the Nexus7 3G+ "NAKASIG
Code:
adb sideload 65880f56b1c0.signed-nakasig-JOP40D-from-JOP40C.65880f56.zip
You should see a progress bar, which will eventually hit 100%. At this point, your device is installing the update.
Step 3.
- Reboot and enjoy! You are now running Android 4.2.1 on your Nexus
I modified my OP and put online the updates for both versions of Nexus 7
Hello
The link for the wifi N7 is broken I think
My N7 is rooted, stock rom, cwm recovery, voodoo ota rootkeeper, supersu. I d/l the update from Droid Life and copied it from my computer to the N7 internal storage. Booted into cwm recovery, chose to install zip from sdcard, chose the d/l'd file from the /0 folder (filename 659e6288b....zip), chose to reboot system, answered 'Yes' to preventing flashing stock recovery, answered 'Yes' to keeping root. All is good. Still have root and cwm recovery.

And if you think about the new users , they can read a lot of guide which explain how use the command lines. It's one of the basic of installations under Android
and it's not the usefulness of this post !!!

And if you click to "DOWNLOAD LINK" you will see that you can download the files
With a lot of pleasure
The download link for the Nexus 7 wifi aka "NAKASI" is repaired
Downloaded update from official Google link, flashed in CWM Recovery, kept bootloader, kept root. All is well.
Help Help PLEASE
OK I did everything and the update worked for JOP40C. I`m running stock so no rooting.
Then I wanted to upgrade to JOP40D.
I got to just after the little green android with the exclamation mark on it. I then held the Power button and the Up button. Instead of getting the next menu it just died on me. :crying:
So what now?
I went through this project step by step and was just about to flash manually when the OTA symbol magically appeared in my bar.
Oh well... I guess I'll take the easy way this time.

- If you're running stock recovery, substituting only the zip file name in Step 2.
Step 2.
- Connect your Google N7 to your computer with a USB cable.
- Make sure you have a recent version of adb that supports the sideload command (if you don't, download the latest Android SDK to ensure your adb is up-to-date).
- Open up a command prompt (cmd in Windows, regular shell in Linux and Mac) in the same directory as the JOP40C zip file you've downloaded.
type this line command for N7 3G:
Code:
adb sideload 65880f56b1c0.signed-nakasig-JOP40D-from-JOP40C.65880f56.zip
for N7 wifi only go to OP..
You should see a progress bar, which will eventually hit 100%. At this point, your device is installing the update
and reboot for finish

Use the update by OTA...let's go
Running 4.2, rooted, CWM latest recovery (forget version). I had previously done the clear data from one of the Google apps and succesfully got my 4.2 from 4.1.2 OTA - CWM handled it just fine. I didn't want to take any chances doing that again, I downloaded this file, flashed in CWM, rebooted and all seems fine. Still have root, still have swype, still have cerberus.
Thanks OP!
Edit: Due to the new /0/ emulated sdcard for multiple users, I copied the zip file to my sdcard through windows - but CWM couldn't see it. I had to navigate to /0/ and then CWM could see it. Just a heads up.
