No stock rooted 4.2.2 rom?

I see some custom 4.2.2 Roms out, just no stock Roms yet.
My question is why not? With so many of us trying to get 4.2.2.

This, a thousandfold. If you can't do this yourself - meaning you choose to not learn how to do it yourself, more often than not, and expect people to hold your hand and just fulfill the GIMME GIMME GIMME nature - then why bother, stick with stock and be done with it.
Took me what, 5 minutes to do a clean install of 4.2.1, root it, install CWM, use CWM to install the 4.2.2 update, and remained rooted.
Is it really so tough to learn how to do some things yourself? I wonder...

Where are you getting a clean 4.2.1 install?

I restored 4.2.1 factory image, and got the message to upgrade in minutes. After that I managed to root with the usual method. Same adb commands, recovery and SU is working as in 4.2.1
4.2.2 is nice, but nothing really new

AW: No stock rooted 4.2.2 rom?
Wow, I'm really unhappy to see this dumb answers here at xda.
I'm really ashamed of this behavior.
I think, we don't have a stock rooted odexed or deodexed rom here, because the Nexus 7 isn't the real developer device. On nexus 4 and Galaxy Nexus there are those roms.
I hope to have those rom here in a while.
Edit: seriously, guys, then giving bad ideas with stock 4.2.1 and updating this with ota.
Why nothing using the stock 4.2.2 directly? It is free to download.
Sorry, I'm really frustrated about those answers.

I don't use stock due to all the little hidden restrictions laying around it. I hate stock on any device :/

You can get the stock factory images directly from Google (search for "Factory Images for Nexus Devices" - xda won't let me post links), but they don't even have 4.2.1 anymore, just 4.2.2 . You *should* be able to install those directly.
I'm getting some odd "can't open /tmp/update.zip (bad)" messages on install though which I haven't gotten on prerooted roms.

Easy way to root the new stock 4.2.2 and install it full image.
To the OP there is a way to get the original full factory image for your nexus device. Here is the link.
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
You can find the nakasi image 4.2.2 and download the tar image.
Then I would download and install the google nexus 7 toolkit here,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1809195
Then install the sdk manager and update.
http://developer.android.com/tools/help/sdk-manager.html
Once all is installed then in the toolkit make sure you install the android usb drivers. I would then reboot your pc.
Then take the factory tar image and move it into a folder called "put factory image here" in the nexus 7 toolkit program files.
Then follow directions to flash it. You can then after it is flashed follow directions to root it.
Now you have a stock rooted version of 4.2.2. That is what I did and it worked for me. I am no expert by any means. I hope this helps.
I am not sure why I can't post links to help but if I have done something wrong please delete my links to the google factory image. If you google nexus 7 factory image you should find it.

These things take a little bit of time. 4.2.2 JUST rolled out, and the code was later dropped to AOSP. It will take a few days for the minds (who have other stuff to do, like jobs, families, etc.) to set everything up.
Also, Wugs root toolkit makes this process pretty idiot proof. I'm unsure if he has updated it to include 4.2.2, but you should definitely check it out.

It has nothing to do with the 7 not being "the real developer device." Nothing is further from the truth. ROMs available for the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 4 aren't here because the devs simply DONT HAVE A NEXUS 7. Why would a developer make a ROM for a device they don't own? It's the same reason there are ROMs for the Nexus 7 and not the others.
What I'm saying is you probably won't see those ROMs unless you take the time to port it yourself.
Developers on this site get really annoyed with those who have no idea how things work, and are also impatient for updates. This is a community, and we are given the opportunity to use free software these developers spend countless hours working on.
Learn to respect the developers and be as self reliant as you can. The tools are here at your disposal.

As the post above makes abundantly clear, 4.2.2 just rolled out yesterday and in roughly 24 hours Google posted the full factory images, and voila, now there's even a deodexed and and odexed and rooted too stock 4.2.2 ROM available - this stuff takes time, but it sure seems like some *cough*people*choke* are pretty damned impatient sometimes.
Kids... I tell ya.

omg why isn't cm11 out yet????

Yeah, where's those key lime pie custom roms ?

That's what I did last night, Factory image, rooted it, etc. Got the update notification, copied the update to my main sd card location and installed it through recovery. No issues, still getting some apps re-installed , etc.

Wow!!
I don't want to start off by being annoying but I was really saddened to read this. I'm new to Android. I got the N7 for Christmas. My first Android device. Love it!
I only had it a couple of days before I had it rooted (much easier than iPod). I wish I would have known not to update to 4.2.2 straight from the tablet. I had no idea it was going to unroot it doing it that way.
Any suggestions on weather I should do a clean install, re-root then use CWM (I'm guessing it stands for ClockWorkMod) to do the update or just wait to root the 4.2.2 .
Obviously I'm going to have to reinstall all my stuff if I do a clean install.
Any advice on the best way to do this would be great. I guess it shouldn't be that hard to learn how to do the updating using CWM
Thanks in advance.

[Q] Slimkat ROM 4.4.2 beta weekly

While discussing this custom rom in other roms' threads, I came across one for the MB886 with CN localization.
I was able to download it and flashed. But before doing so, looked at the archive and noticed it had a /data directory with suspicious apps in it. So I wouldn't really recommend anyone actually flashing it for use until someone with knowledge took a look at it.
Interestingly enough, it does flash and seems to be working, I cleared data/wiped before booting it.. Take note that it's is not officially supported by slimkat nor is it available on their site.
EDIT: We have a working rom now thanks to Technofreak, check it out here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49622265

I finished compiling it to see how it goes. Will post ROM if is good.

WAREZ/malware linked, DELETED.

Mobile Data is not even working for me. Yes it does have trojans and I woudnt download this rom. Did Data worked for you when you installed this crap? Ok I went Further guys this is actually a build for xt907 devices and NOT mb886.

Please delete the Links to this Chinese Rom from this forum and from the Cyan thread. THis Rom Contains Applications that require payments from the Google Play and its Developers. It contains apps like
Android Tweaker PRO
Root Explorer
NexMusic +/Plus
and others

Ok to my Fellow forum friend @clockcycle and others wanting this ROM I have made an Modified version out of this Chinese Rom which works 100% without any lag and is working great. I will make a thread for this one and there is also and right now is the one I use as it looks lots as Validus without much Clowns as @skeevydude like it. lol
Seen very solid to me and is my and will be my daily drive (For now) lol
Also there is one I compile together but since time limits I havent been able to test it. This one should have more options and few then other fixes to options that came after my Modified version
Will explain more at the Developers thread

Yea I was really surprised to how lite "SLIM" the CN version of the rom was. But didn't trust to install gapps, login or install any apps. I also wiped /data after first flash before the boot. Downloading your version right now.

Flashing future official ROMs after unlock -

Hey guys! My apologies if this is a redundant question, but I just wanted to be sure:
If ASUS decides to actually put out an official KitKat update for this thing eventually, would I still be able to try it out / install it normally *after* I've unlocked?
If so, what exactly would be my procedure? Will I be blocked from getting or installing the OTA, or would the process be no different?
There's been some great progress it seems on custom ROMs for this thing. I'm a bit gun shy admittedly, as running custom ROMs on previous devices led to a lot of instability. I guess I want to ensure I'll still have the option to try out a future official build if I choose. Thanks in advance!

Yes you will definitely be able to update to KitKat once released. However you won't be able to get the OTA update automatically sent to ur tab once u unlock it. But its pretty simple to get it. After Asus has pushed the ota to devices, the also upload the firmware to their website. U would simple download that and place it in the root of ur internal SD, and reboot. Tab will recognize the update, and give u notification for installing it. And u continue with that. Very simple.
And as for the Roms , the cromix ROM is by far very stable ROM. I have tried it for very long time, and has no issues at all, and the plus side is u can do a lot of customizations yet the ROM still runs faster than stock. I strongly recommend cromix ROM.

This is not 100% true. The current official ROM will only flash with the stock recovery installed and not a custom one, so I would assume the same for any update.
It's not an issue to flash the stock recovery back but it will be an extra step.
Also if and when an official KitKat comes out you will more than likely have to wait until a new recovery is made that is compatible for a custom ROM after that.

I never understand why people are pining for the stock rom - no matter which version or update....
I would feel helpless and lost with only the stock recovery! Lately I've been trying to help several people on stock firmware with corrupted data, no custom recovery, no root, locked bootloader.... You're toast!
All you can do is send it in to Asus and pay a bundle! Whereas unlocked you just fire up fastboot or custom recovery and start to fix it!
Besides - once Asus releases a KK version for this tablet you can bet your.... house that sbdags will have a custom version of it out in no time. And it's going to be better than Asus firmware, receive frequent updates, can be flashed with a custom recovery....
A no-brainer IMHO

[Q] Upgrading from CM9

I've got my Verizon SCH-1800 that I wanted to start using again.
Looking at it now, I'm on CM 9-20120511-NIGHTLY-p1c, which is 4.0.4
The kernel is 2.6.35.7-g8f42093, [email protected]#1
I've been reading around about new ROMs, etc but if I'm not mistaken, back when I rooted this processes were very particular about how to root this tablet and all I'm seeing is a lot of older threads. I guess I'm hoping someone can answer two simple questions for me:
- Is there a method of rooting that is the definitive way for this tablet?
- After so much time, is there a version of Android that is most stable for this aging tablet? ICS, JB?
Thank you if anyone can help, I appreciate it.

If you have CM9, then you have root access. As to stable or good rom's, you just have to read up on the different ones to see what sounds good to you. Then flash it. Don't like it? Try another.

Ok, so from now on it's just a question of installing zips via recovery? I never have to go back to stock again like you once used to?

Something more must be needed because I can't even flash this CM ROM without problems: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2032726
Recovery says it's a bad ZIP. But I got it from that link.

JB Kernel and KK bootloader??

Okay, I am trying to make sense of this....I downloaded Validus 6.0 ROM the other day with the KK bootloader and it didn't work. So I tried another ROM and got it to work...used it for 24 hours and did a NANDroid backup and tried Validus 6.0 with JB bootloader. The one with the JB Bootloader worked....but yet, its still Android 4.4.4 KitKat....So obviously, I have the JB Bootloader. Is this what is keeping me from using alot of ROMS? IF so, how would I upgrade to the KK Bootloader for my Atrix HD?
EDIT: That was supposed to say JB bootloader and KK bootloader.....my mistake

Until the OFFICIAL version of KitKat is released by Motorola for the Atrix HD, then your phone will always have the JB Bootloader. It is part of your phone and is not changed when you flash a Custom ROM, and you can't upgrade it on your own. Others have tried.
That being said, there are still some ROMs that you can flash to your phone, but only if the ROM developer/maintainer has built it specifically for use on a phone with a JB bootloader.
Personally, I'm using a branch of CyanogenMod built for JB phones like ours: https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=moto_msm8960_jbbl
So if you're just looking for any custom ROM, I'd give that a shot. It's probably the most stable, but lacks some of the advanced features of the other ROMs.
Hope that helped.
p.s. The reason it's so complicated was that on 7/1 is when the CM team decided to (temporarily) abandon the JB bootloader folks on our family of devices. Some other devs stepped up and started to maintain it, until the official version is released. Many ROMs are based on that "unified" base, so everything got messy after that date.

this answered my question in the other section. thanks.
