Umm not trying to be a total **** but really? There is a sticky at the top that is literally the second item on the page that says Flashing a factory image with fastboot/return to stock. Not to mention the 100 other threads asking the same question

Sounds like the time for upgrading. PA 3.94 was just released so download it and flash away. It is 4.3 and runs great and also has Halo and Pie toolbars! Much better than AOSP 4.3! Check it out in the forums for directions.

It really doesn't matter what forum you frequent. If you are an XDA user you have agreed to search before starting threads. You would also know how the forum works and what happens when you ask a question that's covered 150, 000 times in the forum.
Please don't try and use some weak 'noob' excuse. You have been an xda member long enough to know better.

It can flash stock 4.2.2, unroot, relock the bootloader, whatever...

Short on time? Seriously? It took me 15 seconds to find an answer for you. It probably took longer than that for you to create this thread. They have a search bar for a reason.

Just my 2 cents, yes people are here to help. But there are already 5000 threads about the update
I just downloaded the new 4.1.2 stock images for nexus7 that Google released on the googles developers site where you download all the images to whatever device you have.

If this is an old topic sorry but I do not have time for read all related treads.
This is what's happened,
Rooted ATT S4, installed twrp 2.5.0.2,
Installed Sho 1.5, used Loki doki
I was getting the costum screen with the padlock warning when booting. All was well.
Decided to try beta 4.3 rooted, now the padlock screen is gone and I get regular boot screen. Download screen says Samsung official.
I'm still rooted and booting OK.
Uninstalled and installed clean rom ,
Flashed lokidoki, still rooted and boot screen still stock.
Is this normal?
If this is in the wrong place pls move it and if this s old news delete it.

If you don't have time to read, then we don't have time to answer your questions. Even if we did answer your question that has been brought up many times before, would you have the time to read the answers?
Don't be lazy and read through the information on here. Or else no one will help you, and rightfully so.

So everytime you search for something you find it right? And you also read thru the thousands of pages right?
The reason I posted is because I believed I had something to contribute in the development side.

[Q] 4.4.2 Root without unlock

I've poured through the threads and have not been able to find anyone who has given *explicit* instructions on how to root the Nexus 10 running 4.4.2 without unlocking the bootloader. I found methods for 4.3* and 4.2*, but nothing for 4.4.2 yet.
I'm sure I'm being an idiot and not digging deep enough, but in an effort to save myself some time I'm asking you good folks if you might help a desperate soul.
Thanks in advance.
Edited to add: I run Mac OS X and Ubuntu (13.04). I do not currently have access to a Windows License nor do I want to pay for one. This is relevant because I did come across Wugfresh's toolkit, which, while awesome looking, is Windows only.
If this is the only solution, for those who have experience, how does it run via Wine?
Why do you not want to unlock the bootloader?

Part because it isn't necessary for my purposes and part because I don't really want to deal with backing up, wiping and restoring (aka laziness). I just want SU access to my file system.
Admitting to laziness is not something you should be doing. Anyways, try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2003938

You're obviously a better technologist than I am... But are you a better philosopher?
Let's start with a question: why is admitting to laziness not something I should be doing?
And two more:
1. Would it have been better for me to bs a response to get what I wanted from you without the scolding?
2. Did I ask for your opinion on my values?
I'm not here to argue about philosophy, I said what I said based on the rules of the forums, I found that link in two searches, you've made your account to ask this one question, did the link help or is there still an issue?

The link did not help. I had found that thread before. Last page you can see that it is outdated beyond 4.3, and there's no indication that it is suitable for 4.4 let alone 4.4.2.
No I don't think there's a way. Ncry toolkit used to be able to but he stopped updating so it won't work in KitKat. You'll have to unlock I'd you want to do it unless there away I'm unaware of

Sometimes when you flash ROMs the tablet gets confused as to how much memory is available I've heard of it plenty times when going back to stock usually a factory reset or if that doesn't work reflashing the ROM. You need to get the tablet to reevaluate how much storage it has. It currently thinks it a 16gb version.

Might I suggest that future inquiries for your device should be directed to the 2013 forums so that you don't get the wrong information considering the 2 devices are so different from each other

So you would be OK if this person took some advice from you specific to the 2012 and applied it to their 2013 model? And if it bricked it?

Considering that this person only asked about how to free up space on his Nexus, I doubt that would have happened. Of course I would have offered direction to the proper forum if it was something critical. I didn't find it surprising at all that after a few members jumped in to help, your post had be the one letting him know that he shouldn't be in this thread, nevermind any advice on his issue. But it seems that every time I run into one of your posts, it is almost never helpful yet very terse and usually rude. Most of your answers are either about the member being in the wrong sub forum or that they didn't read the changelog. It's almost like spam being posted over and over.

I made a thead about this in the general section I think we need to change the forum title. Not much danger in this case but a 2012 ROM or kernel on a 2013 device would be a pain in the a$$ to fix.

My point exactly.
If we were to wait to inform the op that he was in the wrong forum until after he had done something like that, it would have been irresponsible of us to not head him off at the pass and try to prevent such a thing.
There was nothing rude in this thread until someone wanted to play keyboard cowboy because they had a grudge against me.

Let's just try and be polite to each other @Pirateghost is correct I should have pointed out he was in the wrong forum before giving advice.

Surely our devs will begin to experiment with Android L. The Beta just came out yesterday for the Nexus 5 and 7. So please be patient

I knew it was only a matter of time before someone was to post this kind of question in the wrong thread again
But yes, hopefully we will see something pop up from the great devs we have for mako, just give it a week or so.
Life is sh!t.
Wow, pretty tame reaction for once, normally on XDA a question in the wrong section warrants the Wrath of Wolverines ripping the OP a fresh one.
C'mon folks, his head's still hanging from his shoulders by the edges!!!!!!!!
