Hello all,
I haven't really seen any options for restoring our Nexus 7's using Linux and terminal commands....
SO I made one!
This guide is the simplest I could make it and it only uses a few commands to get your Nexus 7 back up and running in the event of a brick or loss of data.
AS long as you have access to the Bootloader option of the device, this tool should work.
INSTRUCTIONS
1.Make sure that you have ADB and Fastboot installed
Open Terminal (CTRL+ALT+T)
Just type what's in the quotation marks, do not include the marks
Type "sudo apt-get update"
Type "sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot"
2. While in Terminal, browse to location of downloaded files (boot.img , system.img)
ex. Type something like "cd ~/Downloads/NexusRestore"
3. Connect your Nexus 7 to your computer with USB cable and make sure that the device is in bootloader mode
HINT: type "fastboot devices" and it should show a set of random characters and then the word "Fastboot" to the right
4. Type these commands to restore your device to a stock rooted Jellybean ROM
fastboot devices
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (ONLY use this if you DO NOT want to kep your original recovery or if you lost it due to your situation)
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot -w
fastboot reboot
5. Profit
You may now go back to recovery and flash the ROM of your choice or do whatever your heart desires

Happy Restoring!! Let me know if you have any questions or need more Help :laugh:
Not to be nit picky but the instructions you gave are for Debian based distros (most likely Ubuntu/Mint- since android-tools are a backport in Debian Wheezy), IMHO it would be better to specify that this is a Ubuntu/Mint (Debian) Guide, since other distros use different package managers.
Once you have android tools installed there is an easier method.
Download factory image, extract the tar archive, run flash-all.sh
(optionally edit flash-all and remove the -w switch to preserve user data)

I appreciate the info, I've only ever used Ubuntu Linux and every method that I had found so far was super in depth and not exactly simple. I've been doing this stuff for a while, so it's no big deal for me, but I wanted to provide something for people who don't do this kind of stuff every day. Just trying to contribute to the "cause" i guess. lol
Good tutorial

I think you forgot to mention that this is only for Windows. So it does not work for Linux or Mac.
Quick, fast, no frills, just the necessary files itself. Hopefully this thread gets updated whenever a new release comes up
thanks, nice share bro :good:
how to use those files
I thank you for the files but... how are we supposed to use them. I ask since I'm new to adb. And need this vision of adb to sideload to my fire hd6

open a command window and change directory to the folder where adb.exe is installed. Then you can use adb commands. Commands syntax is as follow:
Code:
adb [target] <command>
You only need to specify the [target] if you have more than 1 android device or emulator connected simultaneously, otherwise the command will be directed to the only connected device, so the syntax will be:
Code:
adb <command>
So if you want to sideload a rom to your device, boot in your custom recovery and start the "sideload" mode.
In the command window:
Code:
adb sideload my_rom.zip
Don't forget that the rom.zip must be in the same folder where adb.exe is
If you want to use "adb push" instead of "adb sideload" then boot in custom recovery (not in sideload mode) and use the following command:
Code:
adb push my_rom.zip /sdcard
You can read more about adb commands here: http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html#issuingcommands
adb sideload explained here: http://android-revolution-hd.blogspot.in/2013/12/ow-to-use-adb-sideload.html
If you have more question about what file to sideload or push a rom to your device, you should ask in the correct forum, Amazon Fire HD 6 forum is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-hd
thank u
save my day
How do you install the new adb 1.0.32 over the old version and will it work with the moto X 2014?

go to this website: https://fl1.androidfilehost.com/dl/...803384/minimal_adb_fastboot_v1.3.1_setup.exe?
download and install it to your computer, then try to sideload it through there.
if that doesn't work just download the stand alone SDK from the android studio website and after its downloaded, open the .rar file and extract it to a new folder to your desktop. after that open it and search for a folder that says platform tools and look for the ADB .exe file and copy it, then go to your C drive and go to programs and try to find the android studio folder, when you have located it open it and look for a folder named platform tools, then delete the adb.exe in that folder and paste the new one in there or you can probably just copy the whole platform tools folder and replace the other one in the C drive.
I hope this helps, if it doesnt just message me and im sorry for the late reply.

this usually means the phone is not communicating with your PC.
- either your phone is corrupt
- the connection is corrupt
- or the cable is bad
Tip: add the path of ADB.exe to your system Environment Variables, so you can call it w/out first navigating to it.
- Right click Computer > Properties > Advanced system settings
- Environment Variables ... > edit "Path" by adding the path to ADB.exe.
ie.
Windows 10 x64, i simply add: D:\PortableApps\ADB
for other Windows, you may have to add to the end of "Path", click edit > scroll to the end > add ;D:\PortableApps\ADB;
(don't forget to add the semicolon at the end)
Now you can simply launch Command Prompt and enter: ADB sideload *file*
Updated ADB and Fastboot from Androiod SDK (Pkg.Revision=24.0) dd 11/07/2016
ADB - version 1.0.36
Revision fd9e4d07b0f5-android
Download: fastboot_adb(1.0.36)_110716_r24.0.rar
Not working on Android 6.0
This and older versions will not work on Samsung S7E for system backup and restore.
It accepts the commands, but the confirmation popup supposed to open on the device never does. For a few 6.0 users on other devices, it opened up but the backups were not really completed.
thanks bro. nice share :good:
Thanks, you save me too much time!!
my adb was working fine for my Note 4. I followed the instructions to upgrade bootloader
https://forum.xda-developers.com/no...t/howto-bootloader-unlock-upgrade-to-t3398144
Now, I keep getting device offline when used adb devices command. Do you think, upgrading ADB will solve this? thank you
This is simply ADB/Fastboot, with a Graphical User Interface.

In the future, I might make other changes and fixes,
but they may not be that big to include in separate updates,
so, if you're interested in the latest releases,
feel free to compile the code yourself.
In Debian, there are "android tools" packages and adb and fastboot are simply there. Otherwise, the executable may come with any of Android API packages.
So this runs on Linux. Install adb does nothing. Own command has no command input to use. Need a on-phone file-browser for file to pull. Need option to save logcat to a file. Small things.
I run adb CLI without much ado.

ANNOUNCEMENT:
one year & half ago I've created this tool, the main idea was not new, it has been implemented so many times, but I believe that majority of implementations has just covered the most basic and direct commands of ADB/Fastboot,
So, this revive shall FIX WHATEVER PROBLEM YOU FACED WITH THE OLD TOOL. make sure to check the changelog [2nd post].
INSTALLATION :
(make sure you have java installed on your PC)
• first you have to install ADB Installer tool, it will install ADB to your System directly, so no need for any additional files (make sure to give @Snoop05 a Thanks :good .
• then run Simple ADB.jar and that's it!
GUIDE :
• select from "ADB", "Fastboot" or "Your own command" buttons :
- if "ADB" is selected the combobox will contain lots of adb commands :
Check if Device connected properly (adb devices).
Android Logcat.
Install a specific APK file(Android Application).
Uninstall apk <package> .
pull a file from your Android Device to your PC.
push a file from your PC to your Android Device.
View tasks running in your Android device.
Check your Android Device Memory usage.
Check your Android Device storage usage.
Kill all background processes.
Normal Reboot.
Reboot to recovery mode
Reboot to download mode (for Samsung Devices).
Reboot to bootloader mode.
Unlock Patterns/passwords [first method]
Unlock Patterns/passwords [formatting phone method]
- if "Fastboot" is selected the combobox will contain lots of Fastboot commands :
Reboot to Fastboot mode.
Flash Update.zip.
Flash recovery.img.
Flash boot.img.
Wipe (System,data & cache) before restoring nandroid backup.
Flash system.img.
Flash data.img.
Flash cache.img.
- if "Your own command" is selected the combobox will be disabled , and you can write your (still one line) command in the red area.
• Hit Activate to (well, activate the command :cyclops: ).
• Hit Abort to stop the currently running operation ( please think twice before aborting a command).
• You have the Options menu that contains :
-Donate : to support my development and studying (first year college :cyclops: )
- Main thread : to visit this thread.
- ADB Installer : to visit ADB Installer thread.
- Reset : to set the frame as you first opened it.
COMPATIBILITY:
windows (till now)
•the first issue preventing it from being compatible with other OS's is that the way java is executing commands, it's tricky to keep the same simple functionality with the mass compatibility, so i'm still working on that.
•also in other OS's you need to install adb system-wide, and i didn't find any adb-installer-like tool for Linux or Mac os.
I hope i'll get help from the community
Code:
*** Disclaimer
there are some commands I've never tested (like password commands),
because I don't have a spare phone to test on, please use the tool at your own risk.

This seems like a really nice tool to users new to ADB, nice work man!
FYI, there is an Ubuntu package called android-tools-adb that includes ADB & Fastboot.
It also appears to be in Debian repositories, so it likely works with all Debian derivatives.
I'd be happy to help test your linux based tool if/when you get to that point.
I'm no programmer, but i've been running all linux at home for a couple years, so I might have some good ideas :highfive:

@Mohamed Hashem i belive i can tweak the UI to get close to the window's metro ui which is attractive, stunning and simple if you make it's source open. It's already a good program. And with some furnishings on the UI, it can be the de facto adb for a few years. What say?

well, after seeing the initial poll answers, I think I'm taking the Open-source option seriously so whenever I publish it, You're free to do so
Also, I'm about to take a look at JavaFx to polish the ui, thus, We will have multiple good user interfaces, and this is definitely always better

I know about JavaFX and CSS stuff quite well from my self learning of 1 and a half years. I have some good metro like stylesheets ready to go with built in accent and base theme changing support. I look forward to the aforementioned happening.

Will always get io-exceptions when hitting abort.
Other exceptions may be due to the Process.start()

The described solves the second problem (adb installation) but the second problem still needs testing\investigation
Thanks for testing and information
I have the original OnePlus One, I threw touch on it ages ago and have since tried revert back to android but cannot seem to figure out how.
I run windows 10, and the only script I found was for linux.
I can create a live CD and fumble through it if needed, but I was hoping someone had instructions to do this through windows 10
Thanks

I have the original OnePlus One, I threw touch on it ages ago and have since tried revert back to android but cannot seem to figure out how.
I run windows 10, and the only script I found was for linux.
I can create a live CD and fumble through it if needed, but I was hoping someone had instructions to do this through windows 10
Thanks

Try via the windows subsystem for linux setup. It should work like a nativley running linux install.

it doesnt have full usb support *yet*
Download adb and fastboot, you can find them on the Chocolatey Package Manager for Windows for easy installation, or install them using the Android SDK, or by downloading the platform-tools package from Google's Developer Center. And then, reading the script you have, translate those commands over to Windows. So for instance
Code:
#!/bin/sh
adb reboot-bootloader
fastboot -w
fastboot flash system system.img
would still work under Windows, but you'd need to use command prompt, and you need to have your current working directory set to the path where you've got the ROM at (so CD to it, ALSO: if you are using ADB/fastboot binaries and opted not to install them using chocolately, you will need to make sure those binaries are ALSO in that path.)
You can also open the .sh file, and instead, remove any shell script directives (I wouldn't think that a flash-all script would have things like conditionals though), and then save it as a .cmd or .bat file in your ROM (or ROM & platform-tool) folder, then double click it. For instance, the above would become:
Code:
REM This is an example batch script
adb reboot-bootloader
fastboot -w
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash somepart somepart.img
and so forth. I hope that helps.
