I have a hisense Sero 7 Pro with a stock rom rooted it is encrypted but I broke the rom with Android L buttons hack. I tried wiping it both through clock work mod and in the settings menu and it refuses to wipe. My USB port is also bad I charge it using a wireless charger so I can't flash a rom using the USB port. Was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction to either reset the rom or flash another using clockwork mod

You implied you have flashed a stock rooted ROM, not rooted the stock ROM. In that case, just re-flash the stock rooted ROM. No amount of wiping will fix the issue. You modified system files, and they need to be replaced/restored to what they were.

not sue what relevance your usb port has on this, on most devices custom roms are flashed in custom recovery such as cwm you have.
try yo find a stock rooted rom for your device, download directly to the device, then flash in recovery.
if your device wont boot, put the stock rooted rom on your sd card using a pc, then put back in phone and flash.

You didn't give enough info. If you are completely stock, then no. But if you have previously flashed a custom recovery (CWR or TWRP), if you update TWRP it will root your phone.

If it's a rom that includes the SuperSU app, you can unroot it. Should work. Infact Stweaks also unroots....

Well if unrootin the secnd rom desnt work using superuser, then just remove /system/app/supersu.apk and /system/bin/su frm teh rm.zip before you flash it.

Sorry for the confusion. I think I'm writing it wrong I think, I know how to unroot, that works.
But Sky Go still detects it as a rooted rom
What I want to know is can I put a stock unrooted rom for secondary rom with siyah Dual Boot. Without affecting the first rom and root?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
You can only flash stock roms via odin which won't help you since you must use siyah recovery to flash 2nd rom.... so no...
There are only TWO elements to root which I have suggested you remove manually (follow link to sticky roll-up on signature for root basics).
If sky go still detects "root" after that, its nothing in the rom that its detecting....
So remove the files from the rom before you flash it.... if that doesn't work, nothing will
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 4
It detects root because the first ROM (the main) is rooted. You could try switching example swap primary and secondary roms

So I managed to S-OFF and root my droid dna along with getting clockwork mod installed and I wanted to get the nightlies CM 11 to get android 4.4. I was about to write a new thread because I thought I was stuck on recovery when rebooting, but I am currently restoring my phone from the backup I was told to make (thank god ) but I need to know how how to push the cm 11 file with adb into the internal storage. I need someone to help me with basic instructions on pushing the cm 11 into /sdcard so I can flash it.
You can either sideload the Rom from computer to your phone or you can download the Rom on your phone. Be sure to follow instructions. Download Rom and gapps. U can flash it through the recovery

I actually tried plugging my phone into my pc and put the .zip into the internal storage of the phone and I went to clockwork mod and found that .zip, attempted to flash that, and it didnt work. It gave me an error and I forgot the error code. If you want I can retrieve it again but if you know what to do without it, what now?

You have to use CWM 6.0.4.4 or higher to flash 4.4+ I'd say that's your issue. If you are rooted you will have to flash root after CM 11

Download the new version and flash it in fastboot.
Another few questions. One, from what I understand the highest version of cwm specifically for my droid DNA does not go up to 6.0.4.4, but rather 6.0.3.1. Is there a way to get this working or do I have to wait for a newer version. Also, how would I update my cwm to this version; what do I do to update it IF I get that 6.0.4.4 update. One more thing, you said I need to flash root after cyanogen mod 11. How do I do this?

The 4.4 threads should have a link to a compatible version of CWM. Flash it in fastboot just as you did with the prior version. As far as superuser, you shouldn't need to flash it in recovery since its already rooted and has superuser. I believe flashing superuser was required for the new Sense 5 update until developers released prerooted ROMs.

This tutorial is for people with A2 Bootloader only. If you are already on official KK with A3 bootloader, don't use this since it will fail.
A lot of people are wondering how to go back to JB roms from Kitkat. So here's a little guide of how to do that without downgrading back to MJ5.
Assuming you are already on Kitkat rom with root and Safestrap installed.
Please download this togetsafestrap first.
DOWNLOAD ME FIRST
Extract the togetsafestrap folder somewhere you can access easily. ( Credit to Drakey for togetsafestrap method)
**** First backup all the data especially your phone internal storage since everything will be deleted. *****
1. Download the JB rom of your choice and copy it to external SD card.
Skip step 2 & 3 if you are not on SafeStrap 3.7.2
2. Uninstall the SafeStrap recovery.
3. Delete/Uninstall the SafeStrap 3.7.2 apk.
4. Install the SafeStrap 3.71 and install the recovery. (please make sure it says installed.)
5. Put your phone into download mode by either press power, restart, download mode if your rom has 4 ways reboot OR power the phone down, load into download mode by holding volume down+Power+Home buttons for few secs.
6. Connect to the pc. (Make sure all the drivers and everything is configured correctly.)
7. Open Odin from the extracted togetsafestrap folder earlier. Your phone should show up as connected.
8. Put AP and BL from togetsafestrap and press start.
9. Once everything is done successfully, the phone will reboot.
10. Now you should see the Safestrap recovery splash screen and click recovery.
11. Now make sure you wipe everything. (Dalvik cache, cache, data, system under Advance)
12. Install the JB rom of your choice from your external SD card
13. Once the rom is successfully flashed, just reboot it normally and you will be back to JellyBean rom with fully working Safestrap.

Let me know if you have any questions.
All credit to Hash and Drakey.
Thanks to Conekiller for those who have trouble installing 3.71. Please try out the method he did and report back if it works same for you.
Conekiller2 said:
For those of you having the issue with safestrap 3.71 not installing the recovery here is the way i was able to do it.
Reinstall the 3.72 recovery
boot into safestrap recovery
wipe rom slot
flash (install) desired jb rom via safestrap
wipe cache/dalvik
go back to main menu
reboot and select download
odin files from op
reboot
setup as usual
install safestrap 3.71
it will show newer recovery
hit uninstall recovery
hit install recovery
done

So you're saying that I can use Odin to go from jellybean to KitKat and with the latest version of safestrap I can flash back to a jellybean Rom or restore a jellybean backup without the need of Odin?

You would still need the ap and bl file from jb to go from kk down to jb. So yes Odin is still needed. The guy above you is clueless lol

You can only do mods , flash and restore backups of the same android version, if you're in jb with safestrap then you use it to do all of those, if you're in KitKat now with the update for safestrap you can do the same, but you need the comingfromjb.zip to upgrade to KitKat, and this method to go back to jb. You can use Odin for any mods as long is the same android base.

Well that depends on the mod, if is made in zip format then you use recovery in safestrap no matter what version of android you're using, I think only tar and pit files are flashed in Odin.

Yes , the process is due to the fact that since we don't have an unlocked bootloader the different bootloader and files like modem and have to be done in Odin, that's why the two step process to go back and forth. But yes I just finally upgraded to kk, just setting up right now, to get safestrap added. I've had a bunch of previous devices and all got unlocked bootloaders so this was a learning process for myself too, but once you learn it, is easy going back and forth.

Ok cool thanks for the info and I agree about locked bootloader first phone that doesn't have a unlock for it so just wanna sure I know everything before I do it and since knoxraid thread is closed and probably won't be updated anytime soon think it's time to go back to jb and has anyone tried this yet?

you mean you rebooted and the SS doesn't even show up?
If not, then just start back from putting in download mode and odin back again. You should get back into safestrap.
