Wow man! 3 gb in 3 weeks, Next time, buy unlocked then buy a sim card.
[General Topics] Hemidroids:
1GB a month seems reasonable. Get a life outside your phones screen. There is a whole world out there. I bet you're one of those people who cross the street while texting.
[General Topics] nikzDHD:
It's easy enough to consume large amounts of data on a monthly basis just because OP has used 3.5gb doesn't mean he hasn't got a life.

I consume loads of data as I stream my music to and from work, Spotify makes up most my data usage. Watch videos at work when on my breaks now and then via YouTube.

Anyway to answer your question, Three provide unlimited data and GiffGaff also. Three are good but depends if signal is good in your area.

If your in a contract then nothing you can do and do not continue to exceed the usage, you'll either get charged for it or lead to a ban.
[General Topics] _Variable:
OP, also, Get a wifi in your house!
[General Topics] nikzDHD:
He does have wifi see post 5. :good:
[General Topics] 95Z28:
Really people are still using the old "use more wifi" bullcrap!?! How about phone companies stop spewing crap about "unlimited data" when its not really. Who are they to tell me that I cant use a service that I pay for as I damn well please.

Why should I need home wifi when Im paying 90 bucks a month for my cell service and I use my phone as its meant to be, a mini convenient replacement for my computer.

Its all about technology and cell providers need to catch up instead of slowing us down.
[General Topics] Genjinaro:
Sprint user here, yeah. 1GB of data was gone in a few days & hell, that was just the phone doing background syncing & photo uploads.

Haha. That is funny. I consistently use upwards of fifteen gigabytes a month. This is with going out with friends everynight, bmxing, designing and writing, and other lifey stuff. Technology is meant to intergrate with your life; not to take you away from it.
[General Topics] Shouren:
All depends on the tarriff and the language of the contract.

From personal experience, I agree with the others. 3 is probably the best network for you if you honestly don't want danger of throttling / warnings and are prepared to pay the price.

Long story short - due to the ASA bringing in new guidance, people can't say unlimited and then limit you in any volume related way without making that clear in terms and offer description.
[General Topics] GR36:
I wasn't even aware o2 offered unlimited data
[General Topics] xaccers:
They used to, then dropped it for 500MB for £6 a month.

I guess for the new phones they're doing unlimited again.

I don't think I could manage to hit 1GB a month what with work and wifi hotspots (not that I can get on many of the ones that should be available to me, damn you BT openzone!).

Don't even think my wife uses that much and she watches stuff on Netflix while on the bus to and from work.

I travel a lot, either driving or on the train/tube so any music or films I want I download at home and transfer to my phone.

What the hell is there on YouTube that is so compelling you have to view so much?
[General Topics] Meaple:
Get yourself on 3. They upgraded their whole network a while back so everything is a lot better than what it was. You might not get signal everywhere but we all have to make compromises sometimes.
[General Topics] GuyInTheCorner:
I agree with @MISSDIVA get Three's unlimited data plan (I've got it and I use8-9 GB a month). IMO they're the best network for coverage and data (5 Mbps speed!)
[General Topics] AlexDeGruven:
Geesh, even that would be wildly preferable to the incredibly ****tastic 1GB for $50 you get from Verizon right now.
[General Topics] Shouren:
@Alex - one of the few benefits we have as a small island. Infrastructure should be theoretically cheaper to maintain over a small area, meaning cheaper prices.

In theory...:)
[General Topics] ladyhaly:
You have to suck it up and budget your data. If it's possible, terminate contract and get yourself on Three. I also believe an unlocked phone is best for you. Then you can just ninja to and fro between networks and grab the offer that is best for you.

And updates are quicker on unlocked (or unbranded) phones too.
[General Topics] xaccers:
I know, your price plans are somewhat shocking.

We also get consumer protection by law, so any item sold must be fit for purpose and last a reasonable amount of time, so warranties don't really matter here, a £250-400 phone should last 2 years, so if something goes wrong within that time it's up to the retailer (not the manufacturer) to put it right, either by giving you a refund (pro rata depending on how long you've had it), repairing the device or replacing it with one of the same or better condition. You also shouldn't be overly inconvenienced while they resolve the issue.

Then there's OfCom (Office of Communications) which is like our FCC, but it is weighted towards consumers helping improve service and reduce prices.

Not to mention the EU which helps push Europe wide roaming and data costs down.

Come to this side of the pond, it's not all black pudding and warm beer :)

[Nexus 7 General] FadedLite:
I found less detailed guide on rootzwiki created by birdman, but i decided to repost it here in more detail.

* Disclaimer: I do not take any responsibility for anything you do to your phone, whether be brick, break, or somehow mess it up.

Requirements

1. You must have the sdk installed and you are able to access, and use adb and fastboot.

2. You must have debugging enabled on your Nexus 7.

3. Download Su here (Chainfire's thread for supersu) (Thanks Eric_Eric_Eric)

4. Download CWM here. Scroll down to Nexus 7 and choose whether touch or regular.

Pre-Steps

To make this easier, you should put the su zip on the sdcard for later.

1. In terminal, cd to the directory you have your sdk in. Then cd into platform-tools.

2. Type adb push path-to-zip/JB-SuperSU.zip /sdcard

Unlocking Your Nexus 7

To unlock your device

1. cd to platform-tools

2. Reboot to the bootloader - adb reboot bootloader

3. Unlock your device* -

fastboot oem unlock ​

*You will have to accept and erase all the user data on the tablet.

*You must run this as sudo in Linux

Flash Clockwork Mod Recovery

(You're still inside the bootloader)

4. Flash CWM -

fastboot flash recovery path-to-img/CWM-grouper-recovery.img​

5. Make CWM Permanent -

1. Boot into recovery​

2. Go to Mounts and Storage​

3. Mount /System​

4. Type in Terminal*​

adb shell

cd /system

mv recovery-from-boot.p recovery-from-boot.bak​

If your having trouble gaining shell, try "adb kill-server" then "abd start-server". Couple of my friends had this problem, and this should hopefully fix it.

* For some people, it has been reported that you don't have to replace recovery-from-boot.bak. The flash is enough to make the recovery stick.

Flash Su

1. Go back by pressing power button​

2. Install the zip in the sdcard​

Reboot and your device is now rooted!!

For anybody having trouble trying to use fastboot and come up with a no-permissions error or adb ????????? problem, I created a guide to fix the problem here: [GUIDE]Fix Fastboot and USB

Any ugly splash screens indicating it has been unlocked?

No SD Card!

Not to be a jackass or anything, but this tablet has no SD Card slot...might that require slightly different steps than what you outlined?
[Nexus 7 General] cesjr02:
I'm sure he meant internal storage.
[Nexus 7 General] movieaddict:
Is there a way to do this without adb? I'm sort of new to adb....any help would be greatly appreciated. Ty
[Nexus 7 General] paddycr:
What he wrote about pushing SU to /sdcard is correct. I have a Transformer Prime and ASUS called the internal storage /sdcard, which is a little counter intuitive. I presume the same situation exists with the Nexus 7.
[Nexus 7 General] FadedLite:
This is correct. There is no emmc internal storage. Its just called sdcard
[Nexus 7 General] FadedLite:
Umm, this no way to do this without adb. I'm working on a one click script which i will be posting later. I am currently in IO Sessions and should have it in the next couple of days.

But an answer, again, no, there isn't. You need to download the sdk, and install the tools. then just cd to platform-tools, and use adb like i said. If your in windows, use adb.exe then the arguments, but if your in linux, just use ./adb. Same thing with fastboot.
[Nexus 7 General] FadedLite:
Ya, there is, its the Google logo with the unlocked sign at the bottom, just like the galaxy nexus.
[Nexus 7 General] movieaddict:
TY very much faded, looking forward to ur one click script!
[Nexus 7 General] smirkis:
what exactly does he fastboot OEM unlock do? just curious
[Nexus 7 General] matt30:
It tells fastboot to oem unlock the device.
[Nexus 7 General] jorge_culv:
I stand corrected, thanks and +1 for setting me straight!
[Nexus 7 General] Oddjobguy:
stickmount?

Can someone rooted please test if stickmount works.

Thanks
[Nexus 7 General] mintaeroboy:

[Nexus 7 General] FadedLite:
Ya, that's me trying to write it while trying to take notes during a seminar at IO haha

But ya, I'm working on it right now.
[Nexus 7 General] Launchpad McQuack:
I'm new to the tablet, so this maybe a silly question, but is it possible to use 4ext for recovery instead of CWM? I like the 4ext a lot more for my HTC Glacier.
[Nexus 7 General] r0mmel:
what would unlocking do? isnt that for phones so you can put other simcards??
[Nexus 7 General] FadedLite:
It is technically "unlocking the boot loader" but unlocking was short and sweet for the title.

I reflahsed the factory rom using fastboot but now I can't flash any rom/zip using either twrp or cwm.
[Nexus 7 General] Saint Wacko:
Android refers to the internal storage as sdcard. An actual external SD card would be referred to as emmc or ext-sd. What I had to do was adb push to "/data/media", then when you hit "flash zip from sdcard" the file you pushed will be in the root of the sdcard.
[Nexus 7 General] cwoggon:
Pushing to /sdcard/ should work as well.

---------- Post added at 08:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:15 PM ----------

Also, is anyone else having trouble entering CWM recovery when using PWR + Vol Dn to enter the bootloader?
[Nexus 7 General] Evo_Shift:
CWM will not let me mount the sdcard like the person above. How do we fix that? I can push the SU file whereever I want but my CWM will not let me mount /sdcard to flash it (or anything else for that matter)

I get the message

E:Can't mount /sdcard/

Is anyone else's backlight effectively off in CWM and parts of the boot? For a while I thought that the device was just shutting off, but when I flash a bright light at it, I can see that it is in fact in CWM.
[Nexus 7 General] WibblyW:
Newbie question: I want to be able to run apps requiring root access...

Does JUST rooting (stock recovery etc) - so I can run apps that require root, prevent updates from Google?

Or isn't it possible to root and retain the ability to receive Google ROM updates?
[Nexus 7 General] bradwdx:
Here are my notes from applying CWM and root last night:

*Upon unlocking, /sdcard was erased, though this may have been from launching stock recovery before unlocking and waiting 15minutes. Had to hold power for 10+ sec to get back to OS

*For Android ADB to work, i had to manually set the driver in windows to the one that comes with adb

*For CWM ADB to work, i had to install the Universal Naked Driver found on xda

*Ended up using the official cwm, not the one from this thread

*Upon launching CWMrecovery, it did not mount sdcard and refused to manually mount sdcard, had to boot into android at least once after unlocking and applying custom recovery, then CWMrecovery automounted sdcard upon launch

*The only way i was able to enter CWMrecovery was to have the usb connected to the computer before launching recovery,and keeping it connected while in recovery

*I was unable to flash the su zips from this thread, ended up grabbing the offical supersu found on xda
[Nexus 7 General] Eric_Eric_Eric:
Absolutely right! Yeah, the "SD card" is wiped after unlocking the bootloader, so it makes no sense to put the su.zip on the "SD card" before unlocking. That needs to be corrected, OP. Also, yeah, go find the latest su.zip (I used superSUV0.94.zip.). I can't believe these issues have not been corrected yet.:silly:
[Nexus 7 General] Saint Wacko:
I tried that, and it didn't work for me. I eventually found the right location by running the adb shell and lsing and cding til I found the right place.

---------- Post added at 10:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:24 AM ----------

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that you will still be able to receive updates from Google, provided you are on the stock rom. However, unless you have something to preserve root (SuperSU Pro can do it, and there's a Voodoo app on the market for it), you will lose root if you apply an OTA update from Google.
[Nexus 7 General] masully84:
Thank you so much for the instructions! Unlocking and rooting was very easy and straightforward with your help. This was actually my first time using ADB and you made it simple.

Anybody? Should I get this exchanged by google?
[Nexus 7 General] Psipherious:
So after I do this whole process, if I relock my bootloader (for security purposes) with CWM installed/flashed:

Does relocking the bootloader only prevent flashing externally?

Once CWM is installed will it still able to flash custom ROMS with the bootloader relocked?

Also, if I ever wish to update CWM will I need to unlock it again or can it flash a newer CWM internally somehow?
[Nexus 7 General] Saint Wacko:
I've been wondering this myself.
[Nexus 7 General] WiseManWhite:
Downloading the official CWMrecovery from the clockworkmod site worked for me too so hat I could actually see a mount/remount menu.
[Nexus 7 General] masully84:
Here's what I did, unlocked and flashed the CWM grouper recovery from the OP, then grabbed the Supersu .94 zip also . Booted up once and put the Supersu zip on the sdcard, flashed it, rebooted after that and updated the binaries for Supersu. After that I used ROM Manager to flash CWM 6.0.0.6 and that was that. I used these instructions to install the SDK http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Howto:_Install_the_Android_SDK#Windows. From start to finish took at most an hour, more or less reading everything a couple times to make sure I understand it, with a few typos trying to use ADB lol. I was lucky I had no issues with drivers, did it all on my laptop, Win 7 64 bit.

Video Tutorial To Root Nexus 7

I myself had some issues with this version of ClockworkMod Recovery mentioned here in the post. It wasn't all the time. (I rooted my Nexus and 7 other friends/families) and 4 of them had issues, I couldn't isolate why, but hopefully someone can. I was able to just install a recovery after rooted. I've been making videos for the Xoom for a while and just got my hands on a Nexus 7 and want to make video for it as well. So I put together a step by step video tutorial on how to Root the Nexus 7. Its a tad long, but it shows all the nitty gritty of installing the android SDK(fastboot & ADB), manually installing the Google Drivers, unlocking the bootloader, and finally installing ClockworkMod Recovery to root the Nexus 7. I hope the video can fill in the gaps where plain instructions just do not have the ability to convey (at least for those not familiar with rooting). Let me know what you think.

[Nexus 7 General] Pondy:
If I use this guide, will it wipe my user data? If I simply want to unlock and root my nexus?
[Nexus 7 General] Saint Wacko:
You have to wipe your user data to unlock the bootloader. If it's already unlocked, you can root it without wiping data.
[Nexus 7 General] malaeum:
I'm having some random issues trying to flash CWM and booting into it. I was able to unlock alright, but when I tried to reboot into CWM it just hung at the google screen for several minutes. I have tried reflashing CWM a few times and was able to get it to boot into it once. I do have some odd output from fastboot that I think might be related

Note how it can't seem to find the device ID most of the time? Its VERY odd that when I ran "devices" twice in a row after flashing the first time it found the device ID and the second time it didn't. I thought it might be my USB cable but that doesn't seem to be an issue as I swapped it out for another one and I get the same behavior.

I'm kinda stuck here. FWIW before I flashed CWM I was unable to get it to boot into the stock recovery either. I tried that maybe three times and it hung all three. I've tried to boot into CWM about six times after reflashing, it only worked once and I haven't been able to get it to boot back there.

I'm sort of lost here. I've been flashing nexus devices since the first one so I am pretty comfortable with the process, just dumbfounded here at the moment. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!

This should fix your issue....

http://ptspts.blogspot.com/2011/10/how-to-fix-adb-no-permissions-error-on.html
[Nexus 7 General] david279:
It should apply to fastboot as well.
[Nexus 7 General] malaeum:
I appreciate the suggestion, however this did not help. I don't think its a udev issue as I can plug the device in, run "fastboot devices" 10 times in a row and maybe once out of those ten times it gets correctly identified. udev should only mess something up when its plugged in, so it should either always or never work (or at least thats my understanding).

I have tried running "fastboot devices" with my GNex here and it properly ID's every single time. I am guessing that my N7 is defective somehow. I'm trying to work around the issue for now by just trying to get into CWM one more time to install CM10 and gapps. I'm hoping once I get into CM10 I can move the reinstall stock recovery script and just keep CWM permanent and not worry about the issue.
[Nexus 7 General] khaytsus:
If the op doesn't mind, I have some suggestions for changes. This is the OP, plus a few changes I've marked in BLUE, and renumbered a bit to make it more consistent. Modified OP text below:

---------------------

I found less detailed guide on rootzwiki created by birdman, but i decided to repost it here in more detail.

* Disclaimer: I do not take any responsibility for anything you do to your phone, whether be brick, break, or somehow mess it up.

Requirements

1. You must have the sdk installed and you are able to access, and use adb and fastboot.

2. You must have debugging enabled on your Nexus 7.

3. Download Su here (Chainfire's thread for supersu) (Thanks Eric_Eric_Eric)

4. Download CWM here or if you prefer to use TWRP Recovery. (Direct URL here. Note you'll have to modify the "flash cwm" instructions appropriately)

Pre-Steps

To make this easier, you should put the su zip on the sdcard for later.

1. In terminal, cd to the directory you have your sdk in. Then cd into platform-tools.

2. Type adb push path-to-zip/JB-SuperSU.zip /sdcard

Unlocking Your Nexus 7

To unlock your device

1. cd to platform-tools

2. Reboot to the bootloader - adb reboot bootloader

3. Unlock your device* -

fastboot oem unlock ​

*You will have to accept and erase all the user data on the tablet.

*You must run this as sudo in Linux

4. Now reboot back into recovery, otherwise the flash might not always work

fastboot reboot-bootloader​

Flash Clockwork Mod Recovery

(You're still inside the bootloader)

1. Flash CWM -

fastboot flash recovery path-to-img/CWM-grouper-recovery.img​

2. Make CWM Permanent -

1. Boot into recovery by using the volume and power buttons on the recovery screen​

2. Go to Mounts and Storage​

3. Mount /System​

4. Type in Terminal​

adb shell

cd /system

mv recovery-from-boot.p recovery-from-boot.bak​

If your having trouble gaining shell, try "adb kill-server" then "abd start-server". Couple of my friends had this problem, and this should hopefully fix it.

Flash Su

1. Go back by pressing power button​

2. Install the zip in the sdcard​

Reboot and your device is now rooted!!
