Re: [ODIN][VRALJB] Restore to Stock

My internal shows 2 gb free. Figured would lock and root again to wipe it all clean. And learn to restore from odin.used to my nexus was alot easier.

Re: [ODIN][VRALJB] Restore to Stock

Since you can't over write the bootloader if you are on VRALL update, will your bootloader remain unlocked? I want to get back to completely stock VRALL locked bootloader for warranty replacement.

If your bootloader is unlocked you can overwrite it. So if you flash the completely stock jb image you will be locked and just as stated let it take the ota.

I did the alternate restore, but I am not getting any OTA notifications. Am I supposed to? I am on VRALJB with an unlocked bootloader (I guess).

Edit: Nevermind, I just got the OTA notification. After the update, will the bootloader be locked again?

I have tried downloading both restore files with bootloader still unlocked. Neither want to be extracted with 7zip? Seen several others post in the thread the same issue, but haven't seen anyone respond to why this error might be occurring?

I had to go to my laptop and I downloaded 7zip from C-net since 7zip site wasn't working. The version that their site had worked with the tz file with unlocked bootloader...finally. On my desktop was right clicking and trying to use 7zip that way vs. the program which was the way I was successful on laptop.

Not sure if that helps or not.

Thanks to imnuts for the files!!! I was able to restore my soft-bricked device. :)

Re: [ODIN][VRALJB] Restore to Stock

"Stock Rom" links are not zipped, "keeping the recovery" links are zipped. You could download any stock rom links (no zipped) and flash with Odin. If you download "keeping recovery rom" you need to unzip it first before you can flash.
