My friend, If I flash that official ICS ROM (going to flash 4.0.4 - 4.1.B.0.431 (North America)) could I lose the Root and the Unlocked Bootloader?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] evilbarcode:
You will loose root but you wont loose your unlocked bootloader. To get root back once you have flashed stock 4.0.4, flash a custom kernel, which should be pre-rooted and have cwm installed. Boot to cwm and flash the custom rom you want.

Cheers,

Evil.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaywoo:
Hey guys,

I've been noticing something unusual with my tablet. The stock hard-reset recovery(as well as CWM) only works with USB plugged in. When it is not plugged on the computer, it hangs on the black screen with the Google logo(when it is oem locked, there's a lock on the bottom). I am also a Galaxy S2 user so I know that I didn't need the USB plugged in, in order to enter the recovery mode.

Is this normal for the N7 tablet? or is there something wrong with it?

Thank you
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheami:
I have the same issue, and I always thought it was just me. Going to try a different recovery when I'm back home.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaywoo:
Yeah it's weird. Even after coming back to stock, unrooted, the hard-reset via stock recovery doesn't work unless USB is plugged in. Maybe some files are missing :(
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mogul345:
Wow, I'm glad I stumbled on this thread, I was going nuts trying to figure out why I couldn't boot back into CWM after going back to the stock image and applying the OTA .zips.

Confirmed, I can get it to boot into CWM from fastboot only if I have the USB cable plugged in. Otherwise it just hangs on the Google splash screen.

Weird.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasoraso:
I've been able to boot into recovery using the app "quickboot" which had an option to reboot into recovery. My usb cable isn't plugged in.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kboya:
This sounds a bit like my Nexus S i9020. It will only go into bootloader without the usb, and only go into download mode with USB attached (although it doesn't have to be powering it). This is the same on both handsets I've used. Maybe not a 'flaw' and more a nod to using fast boot/adb?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gfish4573:
I am currently having the same problem. Did anybody come up with a fix for this?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] genghiskav:
I'm having the same issue with the nexus 7. I've found out that you can boot into recovery if you have ROM Manager installed and select reboot into recovery.

Does anyone know if this is an OS issue or recovery issue?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] static416:
Interesting. Was wondering why I couldn't get into Recovery from the Bootloader.

Another bug for me is that if I boot into Bootloader with the USB connected, I cannot make any selection using the volume keys. Only works if I boot in first without USB connected, then connect once I'm booted.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djkinetic:
Its a bug, guys learn to search in the Development threads, I'm sure its being worked on,personally I've been able to get into recovery without have to connect via USB, if all else fails you can enter recovery via USB and ADB, by issuing the command adb reboot recovery in terminal/cmd
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Philosophy757:
I had the same issue last week. Not sure what changed but now I'm able to get into recovery using the reboot menu or good mngr/rom mgr. No need for usb. I'm on modaco rom and used both clockwork and twrp.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miracle.vl63:
I have one more problem...

When I connect USB, the keys don't work in bootloader so can't try recovery with USB cable on.

Any solution for this?

There are two different versions of CWM- one uses the power and vol-up/down buttons for keys- the other used the tablets touchscreen for button press functions.

You may have installed the touch(screen) version of CWM- try using the touchscreen for controls.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegajester:
Same issue here. I can get to recover either connected or via rom manager.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trikkenut:
I too can get into recovery via ROM Manager. I read somewhere that pulling the battery might help. I know that's a bit of a pain on the Nexus 7, but I'm going to try that when I get home later to see if that helps.

Nope, disconnecting the battery didn't change anything. Wug Fresh (Nexus Root Toolkit developer) informed me on Google + that it's a Google issue and it should be fixed in a future update. For now i'll be either plugging in USB to computer or ROM Manager.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krelvinaz:
Try Quick Boot

Free, easy to use, will boot to bootloader, recovery, reboot etc... requires root of course, you already have that.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] askho:
i dont't have root because it was screwed up right fromt he get go

If you find flashing roms difficult you shouldnt be on this site. Installing Overcome rom is simple, follow the PDF guide.

Also, simply backup your data, whats hard about that?

Have you tried just install overcome kernel 4.0 via Odin?

It will convert your file system to ext4 without wiping, but you need to have some free space, I don't know how much, it was mentioned before.

Yes it will wipe your internal memory but all you need to do is backup your data before you re-stock.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Judas111:
Hello! I've read mixed reports online with regard to the latest Gingerbread update (B528) from Huawei.

Some users have reported a break in WiFi and BluTooth connectivity after the update. It could be isolated incidents and many are old internet posts, but a forum search about this also brings up mixed results. I'm looking to get this phone in the next week, but want to know how to proceed once I have it in my hands. The information about the WiFi problems may be outdated.

Is sticking with Froyo the best option at the moment, or from your own experience, should I take my chance with the new update? (I don't plan to do any modding just yet)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Qqqxxxzzz:
if you don't want custom rom, use froyo. Official GB is full of bugs.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Judas111:
Thank you!

I'll hang on a bit longer for the full official release (if it ever comes). I hope I'm not missing out on too many improvements!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] inculto:
you really are missing them.,. lol
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Judas111:
Hahaha. Are they worth the risk?

When I receive my handset, it will still be under warranty for 2 years. I considered the upgrade, but hearing stories about WiFi breaking, IMEI numbers disappearing and BluTooth breaking just put me off. Maybe they really are isolated incidents and the 17th Feb update has the correct fixes?

Please elaborate ;)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] VuDuCuRSe:
I've used the B517, B518, B522 and B526 when they were release but didn't last much time before moving back to Aurora, not because of the bugs but because of the android version.

Now that I have to take the phone to repair I've been using it for a couple of days on stock B528 without root.

So far it's doing great: no reboots and stable wifi. Haven't used the phone much, so I can't confirm or deny the old missing calls problem, but I know that if using Aurora or CM7 for this long I would already been presented with at least a reboot or Wifi "crashing" with a grey icon instead of switching to mobile data.

I'll keep using the stock B528 unrooted and report back. ;)
[Nexus 7 Accessories] iamsupreme:
After trying several cases for my Nexus 7, knowing there aren't any specifically for the Nexus 7 at any retail stores, this was the best one I've come across. It will hold me over until an official case comes out (I've kept the receipt so I can return it). I just can't have such an awesome piece of tech sitting around without a case and without the ability to use it as a stand for viewing. The leather is genuine and the case is simply gorgeous. I love the way if holds the tablet without the clamps/rubberized holding mechanism actually rubbing or touching the bezel. All ports are accessible while it is in the case and the power/volume buttons are very easily accessible.

Found it at Fry's this morning on the way to work but it will set you back $59.99. One of the best portfolio stand cases I've ever owned for any of my devices. High end.

http://www.frys.com/product/7190052?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG

Here are some pictures I just took of it from various angles.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] brianbrain:
Nice! Any negatives that you can tell aside from price?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] iamsupreme:
None, which is hard to say about most cases. I've always had something I've disliked about a case but have dealt with it. I've also always went for the cheaper the better in the past. This case is truly a "you get what you pay for" case. The way it holds the very edges of the tablet is my favorite part. It looks like it is floating in the case and the parts that hold the tablet in place never really become part of the view. The access to all buttons and inputs as well as the quality of the leather are great. The actual stand aspect allows for infinite viewing angles and never feels cheap, like the stand portion is going to collapse at any moment.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] ppp38:
This case looks really nice. I personally want a colored case though and not the standard brown/black. Also, I'd rather pay a bit more for a case that I really like and thats going to last me a while then buy a cheap case that I'm not that into, deciding that Im not satisfied with it and having to buy more. So if I see something that I fall in love with then I don't mind pulling the trigger as long as its not 100+
[Nexus 7 Accessories] brianbrain:
Nice. It fits perfectly? Usually cases with the plastic clips are pretty picky about what they'll work with. If so, I'm thinking about buying one of these gtab 2 7.0 cases and adding a "smart cover" magnet to it.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] iamsupreme:
Here's how well it fits :) Very securely! I'm actually shaking the case while I hold it upside down. Talk about making your heart jump a bit!
[Nexus 7 Accessories] darthchilli:
are you sure? I tried the same case and it doesn't fit too well, but its the best one

the corners are still lodged
[Nexus 7 Accessories] brianbrain:
haha, very nice. I may have to see how some of the gtab 2 7.0 cases fit myself. Nice to see you also brought your new baby to work with you today :good:
[Nexus 7 Accessories] iamsupreme:
I just pulled the edges on the 4 rubber ends out slightly, if that makes sense, and when the tablet was in place, they wrapped perfectly around each corner of the tablet. It takes a tiny bit of "fitting", but once it's on, it's all good.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] iamsupreme:
I had to bring it to work! It definitely is my new baby. Tethered 4G connection from my Galaxy Nexus :) Streaming music while getting my work on.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] clockcycle:
Sexy! The case too!

Thanks for sharing, that case looks made to order on the Nexus 7. :good:
[Nexus 7 Accessories] TahrirSquare:
How about the speaker in the back, is it covered or are there holes for it?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] iamsupreme:
There are no holes for the speaker. I did a test at max volume and I have no idea why but it sounds louder with it in the case then out of the case. It could be the way it's configured with the speaker near flush but with a decimeter or so gap. I know with my phones and tablets that they tend to sound louder when they are angled near a wall and I seem to get the same effect with this case.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] mewantnexus7:
A decimeter is 10 centimeters...
[Nexus 7 Accessories] iamsupreme:
Okay. My point is that it's less than a centimeter. Maybe a millimeter or so. Enough tiny space to actually amplify the sound :-)
[Nexus 7 Accessories] qpqpqp:
rediculous price! that's 25% of the tablet. I've seen much better looking case off amazon.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] ppp38:
Link? Cause I haven't seen any. All those cheap amazon cases look cheap and tacky IMO.

[Nexus 7 Accessories] masterofmayhem:
This case is very similar to the one you bought, but is significantly cheaper.

http://www.yourpoetic.com/p/157/hardback-samsung-galaxy-black

The company has a case specifically for the N7, but no pictures of the N7 in a case. I'm guessing their N7 is waiting to be delivered too. Haha. Anyway, I really like the floating look, and will probably be getting this one.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] xthaox:
People on other threads have been linking to Cases listed on Amazon and Ebay with that very similar look (they probably all use the same stock photos) with prices ranging from $10 to $20. Even cheaper.

http://www.amazon.com/MoKo-Slim-fit...?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1342489646&sr=1-12

http://www.amazon.com/i-Blason-Google-Tablet-Leather-Orange/dp/B008H3PAP2/ref=reg_hu-rd_add_1_dp

http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-HardBa...turer/dp/B008IEGS9W/ref=sr_1_24?s=electronics

I don't know, may be not the same quality but it's hard to judge from photos, or even the prizes.

Only way to judge is hand-on experience like the OP's case, his case looks good also because when the back holds on to four corners only, whereas these ones are a bit 'uneven' (when viewed in portrait mode) : p

I would perfer something that holds on to the edges of Nexus 7 only, like the Official Case or this:

http://www.amazon.com/MoKo-Folding-...ction/dp/B007SA0F7S/ref=sr_1_22?s=electronics
[Nexus 7 Accessories] masterofmayhem:
On second look, that case says the N7 is a "7.7" tablet...maybe i won't be getting this one...
[Nexus 7 Accessories] BuddhaTB:
Good looking case but a bit on the pricey side for my tastes.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] iamsupreme:
After receiving the "official case" from Google, I've decided to just keep the orginal Belkin one I posted here in the OP. It's infinitely superior. The rubber case isn't very good quality (of the official case), the buttons are hard to press for the volume rocker and the lid doesn't stay closed very well. Also, the stand aspect is flimsy and it at many angles it seems like the case is going to tip or fall shut/closed (again, for the official case).

The Belkin case in the OP, though pricey, is much preferred to the $19.99 case that Google or whomever made the official case created. Not a fan.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Valerianus:
Off-topic, but how did you get the UI to look like that? The dock arranged on the side like that?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] iamsupreme:
Nova Launcher. Stock Launcher doesn't compare. Get it. Love it.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Compusmurf:
Same case, 39.99 at Best buy.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] jotei66:
Expensive but nice looking case
[Nexus 7 Accessories] IamPro:
link?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] iamsupreme:
I'd like to see a link as well as I'd gladly return mine to Fry's and save some money. There are several cases for $39.99 that are "sort of" similar but not quite the same.

Ex: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Belkin+...84.p?id=1218621236822&skuId=5176584&st=Belkin Case&cp=1&lp=1
[Nexus 7 Accessories] yeahmon:
That Poetic looks as good as any I've seen so far, and for $9.99 on Amazon, that's hard to beat. I just bought one.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] just lou:

[Nexus 7 Accessories] yeahmon:
Or on Amazon for $37 shipped

I have the Poetic case on my Asus Transformer. It's a very good case.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] ejkeebler:
this Belkin is more inline with what my wife would want, anyone know if they have more colors?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] The Admiral:
The only thing holding me back from ordering this Belkin case is the folds on the case: looks like this case was designed to stand the tablet landscape, but not to hold in your hand. With a flap twice as long as the tablet, how does it fold back behind the case? Is it comfortable to hold the N7 one-handed (or even two-handed) in portrait orientation? Or is it just that the picture makes the flap look longer than the tablet?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] newarkhiphop:
I have the 10inch version of this case from the HP Touchpad and its top notch, got the 7inch kindle version fro the NEX7

[Nexus 7 Accessories] Cybore:
I bit on the poetic one as well. Slim, smartcover, looks decent enough, and its well priced.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] ricktat:
I have a Poetic on a Kindle fire. It is made of super cheap materials...Not my favorite at all.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] yeahmon:
Yeah, but who cares. I only need something temporary until I get a more durable case like a Rock or Ballistic case. I'm not a fan of the book style cases. $10 is best spent on something to protect it until those companies get their cases out.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Mike Fitz:
I have the Navitech Black Bycast Leather Carry Case Cover With Adjustable Stand that I got before the tablet, glad it was cheap cause it was obviously designed for something else and they just decided to sell it for the N7 too. The Belkin looks much nicer and although it wasn't designed for the N7 either at least the buttons aren't covered., I ordered one from Amazon so we'll see how it works out until something nicer with smart functionality comes out.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Compusmurf:
Folds flat like any book jacket type case. Has elastic band you can secure it with (open or closed). The cover is NOT longer, etc. That's an optical illusion.

Stand really only works landscape. IE: movie watching, etc.

Case DOES fit the N7, the last clip you really gotta tug a bit on to get it to snap over the corner. Once it's ON, it's definitely NOT going to fall out.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] flathead031:
I tried this at Best Buy and I did not trust it holding Nexus 7 strongly enough.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] dietanson:
I think I'm going to get this because of the 360 swivel design on the case. Had something similar for the Kindle Fire and loved the ability to swivel to stand it in portrait mode!

[Nexus 7 Accessories] b0n3:
^^

This is the one I keep going back to. Hopefully it's well made.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] live4nyy:
I found a very similar case at

Office Depot

. They're on clearance so it came to $29.99. I couldn't find it on their website but here's a link from Amazon of the same case.

http://www.amazon.com/KF-3010BK-Cyb...WBWG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1342982432&sr=8-1

It uses the same "4 point" bumpers to secure it on the corners. Since it's made for the Kindle Fire it fits the N7 much better than the Galaxy Tab case considering the dimensions are closer.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] TahrirSquare:
The Poetic case doesn't appear to have a cut out for the speaker so I assume that the sound would be muffled. I only see the Moko slim fit as having a cut-out for the speaker.
