I'm already rooted
Thanks

As far as I know there is no way to install a recovery without unlocking the Bootloader and you will need CWM or TWRP to install this fix.

I have twrp installed would it hurt if I tried installing the zip?

How did you install TWRP if your phone is not unlocked?
If you have a working recovery it would not hurt to install the fix, as it seems to be the only installation method
Of course I can not garuantee for anything.
Because you do not need to unlock to install recovery....
Just flash the zip in either cmw or twrp recovery
Or just extract the build.prop from the zip and push it manually.
But to be honest, why does barclays need a build.prop tweak to work. I wouldn't trust my bank in this case

I know is slightly OT, but how would I do that? I thought you would have to flash some custom kernel to get a working recovery. The dual recovery for locked BL is still work in progress isn't it?
Thanks in advance!
It works fine for 40 seconds then reboots. That's more than enough to flash a small zip like that. It just is not write long enough for a backup or restore.
Also you do not flash a partition for recovery as Sony devices do not have a recovery partition. Recovery on Sony devices hijacks the chargemon file to boot up into it.
I am not 100% sure about all the technicalities so don't shoot me if I am wrong on that, but the recovery for locked bootloaders will work for small flashes.

Sadly the barclays banking app doesn't work on a rooted phone, and this is a fix for it to work.

Are you sure? What part of rooting affects the build.prop? None that I am aware of.

Only way with a locked Bootloader is described here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2455959
But it is still in development and I would not advise it if you're not 100% sure what you're doing.
You could also unlock your phone and flash the Advanced Stock, Doom or any other kernel containing a recovery, but you will loose your Sony DRM Keys (Camera, X-Reality,...). They can be backed up (Backup TA partition) and restored, but the procedure is not that easy either.
Is this banking app really that important?

It's convenient for me to have it, but suppose I could always use the mobile Web version
I shall wait until there's a fix for the unlock bootloader, not worth losing your camera for

I understand that bit, but rooting does not affect the build.prop, so why would modding it let the app think your phone is not rooted? Please can you send me a link to the thread you posted a picture of so I can look inside the zip and see what it is trying to do
Sent from my C6903 using Tapatalk now Free
bumping this thread as it's related to my post since that's my Cwm zip in op, barclays checks the build prop for the debug keys and if it's successful says Device is rooted, barclays latest versions have much more advanced detection methods

Does it wipe whole data, including user data?
Right now I use stock 4.3 only with root and custom TWRP recovery. It would be the best for me to flash .ZIP file with rooted 4.4 trough recovery
At the beginning you have to choose if you want to format the user data. But ur right, the easiest way for those with custom recovery is a flashable ZIP.

For a Wi-Fi tablet, you really generally only have to push /system and maybe /boot through fastboot. It's two terminal commands, which is rather faster much of the time. That said, that presumes familiarity and comfort with the fastboot tool.

Especially that I don't want to backup all my aps with TB. And I don't even know it there's root already for N7's kitkat so I could restore all apps with Titanium Backup
Going back to stock and flashing the OTA using TWRP was the easiest method for me, now I got 4.4 rooted with OC and perfectly running.

All y'all are overcomplicating this. There is nothing magical about the google script and download. Its just 4 partition images (boot, system, data and recovery) and batch file that runs a simple script to flash them. We already have the data we want and the recovery we want. So pull the images out of the file (they are buried under three compressions...its ridiculous). Pull boot.img and system.img. Then boot to recovery and factory reset. Then boot to bootloader. Then in a terminal on your PC, fastboot flash boot boot.img then fastboot flash system system.img. The reboot to recovery and flash the latest supersu.zip. The reboot, setup and restore with Titanium. Done. No need to ditch your recovery or blow away the media section of data.
Caveat...this assumes you are already on bootloader 4.23. There is no new bootloader for KK.
Can someone post power.grouper.so from /system/lib/hw 4.3 version? can't flash 4.4 because custom kernel and that file is unexpected contents... flashing stock kernel didn't help
Waiting patiently, I know it'll be out eventually and I'm in no rush. My tablet's usb connection hasn't worked in a long time, it charges fine but lsusb never registers anything. It's a hardware problem, I replaced the screen last month and I noticed the plug was slightly damaged.
TL;DR Some of us can only upgrade from a flashable zip, no usb connection means no fastboot
Thanks

That sucks, sorry to hear that. My USB is getting rickety. I use a wireless charger on my S4 to try to keep down the wear and tear.

Hmm seems as though no one has been able to make a flashable zip for any nexus 7 bootloaders... I suppose I should try to get back onto the stock version of android that matches my current bootloader without loosing custom recovery, get rooted, temp disable root, get back to stock recovery, get the OTA, restore root, get twrp back

Thanks dude :good:
Your bootloader must be unlocked to use this. If your bootloader is not already unlocked, unlocking it will wipe your data and this method is not recommended.
This is a modified factory image that will not erase your user data or custom recovery. This can be used even if you’re rooted and with modified system files, xposed framework, or custom recovery. Once installed you will lose root, just flash supersu in your custom recovery. Xposed should still be on your device so just go into the app and re-install it. For any modified system files, you will have to re-modify those.
This is intended for those on the stock rom, rooted, and with a custom recovery. It’ll work if you have a custom rom but will put the stock system on.
I am not responsible for anything you do to your device so flash at your own risk. Always backup before doing any significant changes to your device. I would recommend off your device in case something happens
.
To use, download the modified factory image here http://d-h.st/mYI Use 7-zip or winrar to extract the files.
Supersu by chainfire can be found here, CWM / TWRP / MobileODIN installable ZIP: http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
Boot into the bootloader. From a cmd window opened where the flash-all file is just type flash-all. You can use shift, right click on the occam-ktu85l-Modified folder to open a command window in the correct folder. ADB/FASTBOOT must be intalled on your PC.
You can also just double click on the flash-all.bat
This is tested on a windows machine; however it should work on a Mac too, flash the flash-all.sh.
work like a charm on Mac
Man, you guys are fast! :good:
Could someone please tell me if this can be flashed through Wug toolkit?

Awesome! Will try now and report back ( on 4.4.3, xposed, cwm, root)

working flawlesly. also no problems with hellscore karnel

Aw damn, I didn't see this and I used the stock factory image...oh well :/ 4.4.4 is good for me so far....except wifi tethering. Anyone else having that issue, as well? It started with 4.4.3 for me.

Try factory reset, maybe it will fix your issue?

First of all, sorry my poor English.
I have Custom Rom (Slimkat 4.4.3) with root and twrp. Can I flash this file? Do I lost my datas (download, photos, etc) ?
¿Do I have to put the 4.4.4 baseband ?.
Thank you very much and sorry by my poor english.
You have to wait for slimkat, this is the stock image
Worked perfectly on a rooted Nexus 4 with 4.4.2. All data was kept

Thanks, that was one suggestion I've found. Unfortunately nothing has worked for me. It apparently is a bigger issue than I knew. There's already a ticket for it here: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=62516 Hopefully they fix it soon, because with 4.4 and 4.4.2 I got a lot of random reboots, and with 4.4.3/.4 I can't enable the wifi hotspot.

This flashes all the images contained in the factory image except for userdata and recovery. It's just the factory image with some modifications made to it. You could flash all those same images in fastboot if you wanted to

In that case, the proper reply to my question is : "I don't know".
Anyway, I will try with Wug and report later with results.

So, after trying myself with Wug toolkit, I can confirm that after a few clicks at my pc and flashing only boot, bootloader and system img files, I managed to upgrade from 4.4.3 to 4.4.4 with no problems.
Unleashed by my Nexus 4
Worked flawlessly. Of course you can manually fastboot flash system, boot, and radio and not the data from the occam zip package so as not to lose your data
OK so I flashed CM12 and it encrypted my device again. I attempted to flash Pure Shamu and realized It would not run once it asked for a password during the boot process because encryption was active. Here's the main question If I install a ROM that requires encryption to be off Like Pure Shamu, could I format my data partition after flashing the ROM so it could boot properly??
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You can unencrypted by wiping data (and storage) if your ROM / kernel doesn't enforce encryption. This will mean losing all your /decade data though
wiping data/storage won't unencrypt if you are using an unecrypted kernel. formatting data will do it though.

Agreed, by default in TWRP formats when wiping. But if you have set the "use RM -Rf instead of format" option, you'll need to unset it or use the format options.
Yea basically, I'm going to install a ROM that uses a unencrypted kernel, then format my user data before I boot the ROM, should do the trick right ? I'm also using TWRP recovery. Ive been flashing ROMS since my gnex, but this encryption stuff has made it a pain .

I haven't set anything other than what is set by default in TWRP. So I it should properly format the partition and allow a ROM with a unencrypted kernel to boot up right?

flash the rom/kernel/gapps/su first. because after formatting your data, you will lose all your storage.
Yes for sure, My process would be to wipe factory reset, install unencrypted Kernel/ROM, install gapps, install SU then format user data, then boot ROM . one last question, when should I be unmounting the storage ?

Just leave it encrypted, you won't notice the difference

As I mentioned above I was previously unencrypted and I can tell a major difference. This may be a matter of opinion, but I prefer to be unencrypted.

This is exactly my experience. I observe no difference in battery or performance either way.
Is it possible to move applications to the SD card without root on the T713? If so is there anything special to do to make that work? I put in an SD card, but none of the apps I've been moved on my old asus tablet are showing any way to move them. Given that the device only has 32G of internal memory, I'm really hoping there is a way to do this.
Thanks,
Craig

The answer as of now is no, this cannot be done. But, with 32GB of internal storage, why would you need to?
A few large games can burn through that space pretty quickly. I have used FolderMount with root before to help do similar, but I was reading about some issues with DRM video after rooting, so I don't know if I want to root or not.
