Hmm.. I was I was either on PAC ROM or cm 10.1, not sure, wanting to flash the 4.3 stock image . wanted to get into recovery through the fastboot menu, but had mistimed the button presses and the phone was rebooting, the boot animation had appeared so I tried to press the buttons to get back to fastboot menu and it appeared. Worried me in case something had gone wrong so I immediately hit the power button to power down. been trying to reproduce it, but no go. It may be related to one of those two ROMs I suppose, I'm on stock 4.3 now. Frustrating

Mskip nexus 7 toolkit mentions Odin flash tool and states must be in download mode! Don't know if this is relevant though. His OP also states that you can reboot into download mode from adb mode

If you have a N7 3G, you will need to download and flash the radio update manually using fastboot, otherwise the system flash will fail.

this may have been asked already my apologies for being lazy to read posts....but can anybody enlighten me or direct me why i get an error after flashing OTA 4.3 from stock rooted 4.2.2 which was unlocked and rooted then with tool 164...though i have read some posts to flash stock recovery so i did flashed replacing cwm then download OTA again but to no avail got the error still with red trianngle over dead android...tnx in advance
[Nexus 7 Android Development] digixmax:
Many of us ran into the same problem, but no one knows why -- we only know that in order to update to 4.3 one has to do a "flash stock & un-root" using NRT (it will wipe the device so you should back up current apps and their data (using e.g., Titanium Backup)).
[Nexus 7 Android Development] TadeoNYC:
I suggest taking the additional step of formatting the partitions before upgrading. I updated via OTA and lost 9GB of storage, I factory reset and flashed via tool kit and was still missing the space until I formatted everything in CWM. I manually downloaded and selected the current versions of SuperSU and CWM touch to flash, I'm not sure if the tool kit is using the very newest.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ocariee:
Thanks for your advice:), but flashing stock will wipe all the things won't it? How can I backup my apps+data without root? It seems the backup function in the toolkit doesn't work on my nexus7... Is it ok if i go to TWRP recovery and use that backup, then restore after re-root by going to recovery mode again? I have never used that function, does that work perfectly?:confused:
[Nexus 7 Android Development] TadeoNYC:
You need root to do apk and data backups. Go to chainfire's website and download the SuperSU zip, copy it on to your SD card and flash it with TWRP. then back everything up with the toolkit or Titanium Backup.

stuck at

Can anyone help me? I have searched but the answers I find are "above my pay level". I had trouble and got stuck at "checking adb staus" but I solved that by using a different computer. I was away a few days and forget all I did but here's where I am now:

From power off, if I just turn my N7 tablet on, I get the word "google" and an unlock icon.

From power off, if I hold power and volume (both or down), the google page shows then it jumps to the android on his back with the door open

If I play around enough I can get to the android on his back with the red triangle as well

When I run NRT "Flash Stock and Unroot" Soft Brick/Bootloop from the android with the door open page then the computer runs for a while with black screen and eventually the screen hangs at sending 'system' (529061 KB).

What do I do now?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] AlexM555:
I just received my new Asus Google Nexus 7 v2, and was trying to root it, but apparently the tablet is not allowing ADB connections. I've put it into USB Debug mode (I learned this from rooting my Nexus 7 v1 tablet). I see the tablet's ADB connection in the Device Manager so I know the driver is working (no conflict), but the toolkit 1.6.8 is not seeing the tablet. When I clicked on USB Debugging, it merely asked me if I wanted to allow it, and I said yes... (it did not show me any other option like "Always allow") . I have changed USB ports to no avail, so I'm starting to think there is something else that needs to be configured to get ADB to work. Any ideas?

[Nexus 7 Android Development] DirkBelig:
"Fix" for ADB status failure

Something about the Google USB drivers prevents it from working with ADB when it's in Media Device (MTP) mode; you have to switch it to Camera (PTP) Mode to get it to work. Go Settings>Storage>[three dots in upper right]>USB computer connection and select Camera (PTP). It should work after that. I've seen suggestions that getting manufacturers' drivers from LG (Nexus 4) or ASUS (N7) will resolve this, but I haven't tried it.

I had to return my first Nexus 7 tonight and was unable to restore the stock recovery. Wug's 1.6.8 said there's no factory images available and I'd seen a story about it yesterday about Qualcomm being a-holes about drivers. I posted a remark about this at Android Central and sfhub (the man who made my GS2 happy) posted this link to the JSS15J image: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#razor

Too late for me now, but it would be helpful for the next update of Wug's IMO.

success!

I was stuck at "checking adb status" for a very long time and I used NRT to install drivers again and again every way with no luck. I did so many ways that I am not sure how I got passed that point but I think it was by disabling windows auto install drivers. There is a button in the toolkit for that under driver installation - help - "Disable auto driver config". When I pressed that, nothing happened though (maybe it'll work for you). I had to do it another way: type "change device installation settings" into the windows 7 start search box. Either way, then check NO, never install drivers from windows update. After that, start again with NRT driver install and I hope that works for you. (I think I ended up with success using #4 but I am not sure about which one I used).

Unfortunately, even though I got past the "checking adb status" I got stuck when using the "Flash Stock and Unroot" - it started going very nicely then just stopped at "sending system". I FINALLY got to the welcome screen and it looks like all is well - I just stopped to write this. Here's what I did (among other things... but I believe this is what worked): I went to NRT, Options - Flash Stock - Enable force flash mode. WARNING: there are warnings here that this might brick your device -- I was desperate -- so use at your own risk, I guess. Anyway, that didn't work right away but I tried again and I think on my third try it went past "sending system" and finished.

I AM ONE HAPPY CAMPER. Wug - I'll be sending a donation after I set up my tablet.

I solve that prob with just booting temp into TWRP and flashing the SuperSu .zip with the file on my PC

Root now is OK

I try to make a new nandroid backup and although the process finishes with a backup file of ~960 MB only 20 MB transfers to my PC !!!

I tried to paste it manually also but that fails also..!!

I can not take it to my pc for storage.....

You need to change the permissions. I've been using this command:

adb shell
su
chmod -R 777 /data/media/0/TWRP

then just type exit a few times to kill the session and the command prompt window.

NB: that's run from my laptop, with the Nexus 7 connected. I run it from the Android SDK, but I'm pretty sure you can run it from wherever adb.exe is installed on your PC. Quick tip: if you SHIFT+Right-Click on the folder where adb.exe is, you can choose "Open command window here". Makes things a bit easier.

After chmod'ing, you should be able to copy to the files. Not sure if you'll need to disconnect/reconnect the Nexus (i.e., the MTP Device). Try just copying first, if it fails, disconnect and reconnect. Oh, one thing I've found on my laptop after running adb, you'll need to kill it in Task Manager's Processes tab before the Nexus will safely eject. YMMV.

HTH.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] xhepera:
Quite true; and if I thought anyone was willing to, or capable of, figuring it out I'd type it all out (no screen shot available in that mode of course). As it is, I can't even fit the damned msg in a single camera shot using my phone to try and take a pic of it. It's a long-ass bla-bla-bla. :p
[Nexus 7 Android Development] nemesi54:
Did what you said above with no luck....

Also when i run the adb shell SuperSu on the nexus asked for root permission (adb shell) which i granted

C:\Program Files\WugFresh Development\data>adb shell
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
shell@maguro:/ $ su
su
root@maguro:/ # chmod -R 777 /data/media/0/TWRP
chmod -R 777 /data/media/0/TWRP
Bad mode
10|root@maguro:/ #

Another thing is that the path that you specify for the TWRP in not existing on my nexus
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ThurstonX:
Did you try adjusting the path for the chmod command? Everywhere I've read about this problem, it's simply a matter of changing the permissions. I guess the first question is, can you see the TWRP backup in ES File Explorer or whatever? I assume the answer is Yes, since you knew the size. Anyway, that should help with the correct path.

Good luck!

Did you try changing the usb mode from MTP to PTP, as suggested earlier? It seems illogical (to me anyway) but it worked.

Edited to add: note that

when you do that you'll need to uninstall the driver under camera in Device Manager.

If changing MTP to PTP doesn't work, try disabling the automatic driver install (button in help file of NRT full driver install) and if that doesn't work, try a different computer. Good luck.

I didn't run into this issue of "missing storage space" when I did 4.3 OTA update following the "flash stock & un-root", so it's a case of YMMV. Hence it would be prudent to just do the OTA update and see how it goes, before fiddling with reformatting.

FWIW I had problems a year ago getting the driver set up on XP for my N7 v1, but through trial-n-error was able to get one of the NRT-supplied driver options (I believe it was PDAnet) to work which I eventually replaced with the Asus-supplied driver.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ThurstonX:
What I found with using TWRP between versions of Android, esp. moving from single-user to multi-user (even if you've only defined one account), was that the old backups were not visible, as the path had changed (adding the '0', IIRC). Then, after doing a new backup, the new path, as you noted, is created. Old backups can be moved there, as needed.

But still, the new backups on the new path were either not visible from Windows Explorer or not fully copiable (copy-able). Only chmod'ing them worked. I don't want you to beat a dead horse, but did you run the chmod command after you noticed that /data/media/0/TWRP now exists?

Lastly, and this may have no bearing on it, I have SuperSU set to "Grant" as the default action, so I never saw that message you saw. May be worth setting that, at least temporarily. And after chmod'ing, just ls -la /data/media/0/TWRP to be sure everything rwx across the board.

NRT's "flash stock & unroot" should bring your N7 directly to stock 4.3.

But if you aim to flash Paranoid at the end, why bother with going back to stock first?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] helloterence:
:good:

Sorry, I am new to this. Wasn't sure whether it made a difference or not. I assumed since I am currently on 4.1.2, I would have needed to be on 4.3 before I am able to flash Paranoid. If that isn't the case, how do I go about flashing Paranoid using NRT?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] digixmax:
[MENTION=3110798]WugFresh[/MENTION]:

Given some folks (myself included) run into difficulties trying to copy or move the backup data to our PC, would it be possible for NRT to provide the option of automatically copying or moving the backup data to the corresponding dated backup folder (that is created whenever a backup operation is performed)?

---------- Post added at 01:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 PM ----------

You can use NRT to make a backup of your current device software/config, and to install a custom recovery (CWM or TWRP). You need to research elsewhere on XDA or YouTube for info on how to flash/install Paranoid using custom recovery.

Well, I finally figured it out. I couldn't get the ota.zip to install, either traditionally or via sideload. The issue was with the Xposed Installer. I went in and told it to "Clean up" (complete removal of the framework), and, voila! Was able to sideload and root. I was only using it for the donate version of Greenify, so no big loss. I understand there's an alpha-stage replacement but need to go check that out before deciding to reinstall.
