I'm currently using Samsung Galaxy Mini GTS5570

I flash lots of custom roms to my device, even with the custom roms on, it still lags me out.

So I decided to make a move and change my device hoping it would not be as bad as this one.

Any suggestions what budget android phone with a not-so-bad processor or should I say speed??

Please do reply thanks :laugh:
[General Questions and Answers] divibyzero:
I find Galaxy S+ a budget Android phone with not bad speed and some serious customization capabilities. If you have more funds I'd go for SII as it has dual core processor and full cyanogenmod released.

you may want to add this

You may want to add this as step one if more people have this same problem. I was having a problem where I wasn't able to flash any recovery at all. You can one time boot into a recovery but it wouldn't flash. Since I had already renamed the original one and it had failed to flash CWM it just hung up at the google screen. After about a hour of trying.( uninstalling drivers, trying a different computer) I found this and it fixed it. If this turns out to be a widespread issue this is a pretty easy fix.

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

Browse to your SDK directory and futher into \extras\google\usb_driver

Open android_winusb.inf in your favorite text editor.

Find the appropriate section Google.NTx86 if your on 32bit or Google.NTamd64 if your on 64bit (doesnt matter that your using intel chip). Now find the ";Google Nexus 7" line inside that section and you'll see a series of settings below. Add the following lines at the end of that block.

Code:

%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_4E44&MI_01

%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_D001

These are the identifiers for the Nexus 7 recovery and bootloader usb connections.

Thanks for the info.

In the driver pack made by 1wayjonny (and the one used in the ToolKit) the first line is already included in the google nexus 7 section the inf. The second line is in the section for the samsung galaxy nexus.

Did you install your drivers through the ToolKit or via another method? Im just not sure if the second line can be added to the google nexus 7 section in the inf file which would mean both are included when drivers are installed.

The source you posted doesnt lead anywhere can you post where you found the info and if its good I can just add that extra line to install the driver.

Is there any way to use TWRP instead of CWM for recovery? Or would that have to be changed after the fact?

Edit: Yes, there is! Option is available during the install process.

I will give it a try and if all OK will donate.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] PROlific666:
I used the toolkit first and when I had tried everything I could think of I uninstalled the drivers and tried the manual method. I thought it may have been some interference caused by my Gnex since my tablet was showing up as a Samsung phone in the device manager so I switched to my other laptop installed the kit and used the install method included in the kit. When that didn't work I went to the Asus website and downloaded then drivers directly from there and still no luck. I found that post after almost giving up for the night and after I changed the line ( I only added the bottom one bc the other was already there) the recovery finally stuck.

I sent a pm to the op to see where he got the info I will post when he gets back to me.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jonnyg1097:
I was hoping you would show up with a tool kit like this for the N7! I have been using your toolkit for the Galaxy Nexus with great success and just had great success with yours on the N7

:D
[Nexus 7 Android Development] mskip:
It could be implemented just as easily into the ToolKit's drivers from 1wayjonny by just adding the bottom line into the Nexus7 section. That line is already in the Galaxy Nexus section but it wouldnt do any harm adding it to another section if the driver is required as you said.

Im tempted to just add it anyway lol.

Having another Nexus 7 shipped to me and returning my current one. What steps do I need to do before sending my current one back to Google? As far as my knowledge goes...

1. Flash stock ROM and recovery...option 9 and 6 respectively

2. Lock bootloader...option 3

3. Unroot...need help with this...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] kendallc123:
You can do numbers 9 and 3. That will flash the stock rom and recovery and lock your bootloader, which removes root.

EDIT: Nevermind, I got it working!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] shariqm:
I'm quite confused, all i want to do is root, nothing else. No new ROM flashing or anything of that sort.

Do i HAVE to unlock bootloaders? Or once I have my Nexus 7 hooked up (see the serial number in the program) can I simply root it without unlocking bootloaders?

Thanks
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Milamber33:
The trick is that in order to get root, you need to have permission to write to the system, which either requires root (which you don't have yet), or flashing something in either fastboot or recovery. In order to flash something in recovery, you need to be running a custom recovery, which can only be installed by flashing through fastboot or by writing to the system, which requires root, which you don't have yet. So ultimately you have to be able to flash or at least boot to a custom image through fastboot, and that requires an unlocked bootloader. So yes, to get root you need to unlock your bootloader, end of story.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] AlanB412:
What that post above me says is the truth of it. If you don't want custom recovery after you get root you can always flash the stock one back on through multiple methods. Technically you can also re-lock your bootloader after you get root as well, but if you ever need to use fastboot again you'll have to unlock it again and wipe your tablet all over. So it's honestly best to just leave the bootloader unlocked, and have a custom recovery installed just in case you screw your device up with some root app you can at least restore it to a previous backup file.

can't install drivers

I'm trying to use the toolkit to root my Nexus 7, but I can't get the drivers to install.

After selecting option 1, choosing my OS and processor (Vista and Intel 64-bit), I get an error message pop up that says "The image file C:\Google Nexus 7 ToolKit\devconia64.exe is valid, but is for a machine type other than the current machine." In the toolkit itself it says, "This version of C:\Google Nexus 7 ToolKit\devconia64.exe is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your computer's system information to see whether you need a x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the program, and then contact the software publisher."

I don't understand why I would be getting this error because I selected all the correct options.

I even tried installing the 32-bit version, but I got a different error in the toolkit that say, "devconi386 failed."

Is anyone else getting this error?

(As a side note, I get the same error when trying to use the Galaxy Nexus toolkit to install drivers.)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] danmanx:
Ok guys, I have a weird problem.

1. USB Drivers install.

2. I have my serial coming up under ADB.

3. Reboot tablet to "FASTBOOT".

4. Unlock Bootloader. (Of course, lose my data)

Now this is where I might have screwed things up... I thought the device was frozen. Saw Google text with an unlocked icon under it. Tried to turn it off. Then after 4-5 mins, the tablet booted and I *THOUGHT* it was rooted. No root at all and I literally reinstalled all apps without knowing properly or checking, for that matter...

Had to download an root check app that gave me the bad news.

Ok...so did I really do anything wrong? Did turning off the device make it unroot and just format & reboot? Or did I miss a step? If I did miss a step could somebody please enlighten my darkened brain??

Thanks!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] mvmacd:
I'm not sure.. but if you can boot into recovery, you can manually flash the superuser zip, and root that way. That is what I had to do in the end to get root.

in case you want to try that, here is the latest superuser zip:

ASUS NEXUS 7 TOOLKIT AUTO UPDATE V5.1.6 [07TH JUNE 2013] AVAILABLE!!

A big reason for this update was that goo.im has been very unstable lately and users have been unable to download model fiels and stock firmware images. I have therefore uploaded all the model files and stock firmware images to skipsoft.net and given the option to download those files from skipsoft.net or goo.im. This should keep everything running smoothly even if one site goes down. I have also replaced wget with cURL to download files from within the Toolkit and added auto resume to downloads to help users with slower unstable connections. I will be doing this to all the Nexus Toolkits over the next few days.

[Auto Updates are only accessible if you have donated to the Toolkit project, received an activation code and unlocked the professional features. Auto Updates are a much faster and easier way of pushing small updates that would otherwise not be worth doing. I can push a single textual change or add support for a new build without having to go through the whole process of building a full version and uploading a large file. IF you are not able to or do not want to donate to unlock the Auto Update feature (and other professional features) then all the smaller updates are collated and a full build made when I have time or if there are enough updates to warrant it. This is the easiest way to make sure all the Toolkits are as up to date as possible. IF you have any views about this please email me at toolkit.support@skipsoft.net about them and do not post in the open thread]

Hi

Have been trying to go back to stock using the Toolkit (Latest Version). Am currently running Cyanogenmod RC 5 with CWM. The toolkit is showing my serial number but also

the Nexus 7 as "offline" and I can therefore not make use of any of the options to revert to Stock Rom. Have tried switching from MTP to PTP but this does not work.

Reason for going back is that I am having major problems playing any streamed movies/clips from whatever source (Netflix, Youtube and BBC iPlayer). All stop/start

intermittently. I have an Huawei Mediapad 7" running ICS 4.0.3 and have no problems with streaming on any of the above. So I want to revert to The current stock Jellybean

JDQ39E to see if the problem lies with Cyanogenmod Rom or is it common to all JDQ39E iterations of JB.

Any info/resolution help greatly appreciated.

Stransky
[Nexus 7 Android Development] elwilson4:
This sounds like your ADB version is outdated. JB 4.2.2 brings added security to ADB. What version of the toolkit are you using?

If your toolkit version is older than the current free version either update your toolkit or update your ADB files to the latest version. There used to be a zip file in the op with the updated ADB files but I don't see it anymore. So the quickest way to fix your issue would be to update your tookit.

If your toolkit version is updated to the latest and greatest then I would recommend trying to manually start the ADB server. This should force the security prompt on your tablet. Once you accept the security prompt the toolkit should work.
