On Linux, gonna try this later today when my replacement arrives
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jewnersey:
loaded bootloader but never asked to unlock
[Nexus 7 Android Development] shawn.ferris:
Looking at the script, it doesn't look like it does a wipe, but i wanted to confirm..This leaves everything intact, correct?

---------- Post added at 08:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:42 PM ----------

Nm.. question withdrawn.. looks like by virtue of unlocking, it does a wipe.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Attictron:
Same thing happened to me. It restarted and went into the bootloader screen but it just stayed there.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ianonavy:
You must run the script as root on your Linux machine.

sudo sh n7root.sh
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ant_thomas:
I've run the script as root but nothing happens on the Nexus 7.

It says...

./n7root.sh: 18: ./n7root.sh: ./files/adb: not found

But the file is there.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Attictron:
Thanks, this worked for me.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] steevp:
You may also get that error if you are on a 64-Bit system without 32-Bit compatibility libs installed.

Use:

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

to install them on Ubuntu amd64
[Nexus 7 Android Development] cyr0s:
Thanks for posting this, I completely overlooked the fact that this could be an issue.

Updated original post.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] brando56894:
Hey I expanded upon your script to check for root rights, check to see if adb and fast boot are installed (if not it uses the included binaries), give the user the choice on whether or not they want to unlock their device, and to give them the choice of flashing the version of CWM that you installed or TWRP v2.1.2.15. Here's the link: http://www.mediafire.com/?yqt2du8uv3am1dp
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Utkarsh.bhatt12:
Rooting the device is pretty simple, you don't need to use all this stuff, it can be really tough for beginners..!

Check this out!

Just found this website using Google. Pretty nice toolkit to Root and Install Recovery.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ferossan:
Looks like this solution ONLY works on windows. Lots of linux users wants something simple and easy to use like the one in this thread.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Utkarsh.bhatt12:
Yeah, that's right!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] cyr0s:
The script has been updated to incorporate brando's improvements, and also a few other things.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] cyr0s:
Download link updated, script slightly improved.

Also released n7ui, check it out in my signature.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Guilden_NL:
THANK YOU!!!!

Didn't work for me, hung up on looking for the device. After attempting 5-6 times, I did it the good old fashioned way - manually using adb. It was a heck of a lot faster than trying this over and over.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Sharpe351:
I believe you have to run as root for it to work.

sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Nexus 7 Android Development] :
Yep, all of the Linux rooting exploits require SU privilege, which I ran it under. Just didn't work for me.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] cyr0s:
Could you please run again and send the output to me via PM or michael.cowell3@gmail.com?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Sharpe351:
I've noticed on some scripts that you have to use chmod to make them run as a program.

example:

$ sudo chmod a+x /path/to/file <enter>

then run the file using the sudo command. It's a stretch, but that may be the case here. -- found the glitch, not the problem in this case... It's in the script.

cyr0s (Guilden_NL also),

Just looked at the script again. I need to let you know that my adb is located in /usr/local/bin (not /usr/bin)... In the OP, you should make sure to let people know that adb also needs to be installed in your $PATH so that it will function properly (I googled it to understand as I'm still a little new to Linux/Ubuntu -- but I'll never go back to Windoze :) ). That was where I installed adb when I started putting all the files in place after I installed the sdk on my Ubuntu 11.04 laptop. I may have to change the file locale in the script for adb commands to work. It was the suggested place to install adb in my laptop for development purposes (http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html). Your script, however, is well written and easy to follow, cudos for that.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] :
All good info for others, as both points would cause problems. However, you should likely get an app error and it wouldn't run at all if executable permissions were not present.

I've been running Linux since '94, so ran chmod as habit.

Sorry, but now that it is rooted, I don't want to mess around with it and re-root as it is a gift to my wife.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] cyr0s:
Well it should default to the adb and fastboot binaries in ./files/, and chmod them properly. /usr/bin/ was a change done by brando
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Sharpe351:
OK. Just figured that may be an issue.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] crazyscow:
interesting...thanks!

can i use this to unbrick it?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Sharpe351:
If you can get into fast boot, you can restore the tab that way.

sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Nexus 7 Android Development] cyr0s:
If you cd into /files/, run "adb reboot recovery" to throw you into recovery, or of course use the power + vol. down method.

Okay, I'll push a new version to git today and post here asking the user for a custom adb and fastboot dir. Thanks for the feedback.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] cyr0s:
Version 1.4 released

-Added custom adb/fastboot paths (recommended by Sharpe351)​

-Added build.sh build script to build from git repo​
[Nexus 7 Android Development] cyr0s:
Version 1.5 released

-Minor changes to adb/fastboot selection code​
[Nexus 7 Android Development] brando56894:
A few things I noticed with v1.5:

1. You're missing the SuperSU zip file in the latest release.

Pushing SuperSU onto device...
cannot stat './files/SuperSU.zip': No such file or directory
Pushed SuperSU onto device!

[bran@ra ~/downloads/files]$ ls
adb clockworkmod.img fastboot twrp.img

2. You're missing spaces between you INFO outputs and the text following it, I'd just recommend getting rid of the INFO words in general it looks cleaner IMO.

... INFOerasing userdata...
INFOerasing userdata done
INFOerasing cache...
INFOerasing cache done
INFOunlocking...
INFOBootloader is unlocked now.

3. TWRP is out of date. You include v2.2.2.0 when v2.3.1.1 is the latest version

Also I'd recommend putting the whole program inside of a containing folder so when people do an "extract here" it doesnt just dump the shell script into your download location and a folder called files in your download folder ;)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] yankele:
I noticed the missing SuperSU zip when running it, now where can I find the zip to flash it in TWRP, i found a zip but its for CWM so dont want to risk it.

/*Edit

Actually what I did was to run the script again, select no to unlock and then flashed CWM, then loaded recovery and flashed the CWM SuperSU zip and that took care of it.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] GlemSom:
I've submittet a pull-request to the repository... This includes the latest TWRP.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] cyr0s:
I've merged, thanks for the help man :)

Version 1.6 released

-Fixed image check (thanks to glemsom)​
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jacobfogg:
If the user has the latest version of android installed, developer tools are no longer visible. It might be useful to give the user the instructions to goto Settings -> About tablet and start tapping on "Build number" until it tells you that you are now a developer. Then the developer section will appear.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] flashedmytiltblind:
Your bash just totally hosed me. I now can't get into recovery mode. There's an error "No Command" and the android bot with a red warning sign over his lifeless body.

Can anyone help me get this thing back?

^Thanks for that. I noticed it and couldn't figure how to get it back.

Update: managed to fix it
[Nexus 7 Android Development] DonP:
a-ok

Just to report I've used ver 1.5 on a nakasig (N7/3G) successfully.

I had to run it twice, though - the first time the process wiped my device and and supersu.zip was missing from TWRP.

A second run without requesting an unlock worked fine.

Thanks for all the hard work.

PS one more thing - when running the script it insisted on using its own adb rather than the one I had already installed and running, claiming the existing one was an old version - it wasn't - existing was 1.0.31, n7root has 1.0.29. wasn't a problem though.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] sdnick484:

weird reboot

when i run the script, it prompts for custom adb location- i enter it, accepted. then it asks for fastboot location- i enter, accepted. then i get a VERY brief glimpse of what appears to be a Y/N question but my computer reboots. im on ubuntu 12.04 and the files are in my download folder, given full permissions. any idea why the force reboot?

thanks for giving the opensource users some love

Any thoughts as to whether rooting works with 4.2.2 ota?

Waiting for Wugfreshes update to the utility, (cant get the work around downloaded).
[Nexus 7 Android Development] lfwake08:
since i was having trouble with the utilities, plus most dont seem to work on 4.2.2 yet, i just rooted manually via adb flashing recovery image. worked just fine, just a little bit more technical. if youve got the SDK set up already it shouldnt be a big deal.

Once I actually noticed what auto correct had done, every bit of that anger turned into laughter.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d00dr:
I just dropped my Dinc and shattered the screen. I am beyond bummed out. I know I can buy a replacement screen and replace it myself relatively inexpensively but I also have insurance on the phone. I went to Asurion's website and started a claim, going as far as entering in my credit card info, but they won't tell me what phone they're going to send me. I'd really rather not pay the $99 deductible not knowing what I'm going to be getting. Anybody else have a similar situation that may know what the replacement phone is? I don't think its very fair for them to just send whatever they want, undisclosed, for a higher deductible than what they had originally told me. HELP!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d00dr:
Just got off the phone with an Asurion agent and she informed me I would be getting another Droid Incredible. For a $99 deductable, I think I would rather just find a replacement screen and fix the one I have. Anyone replace a screen on their Dinc before?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adreaver:
I had this same problem until I discovered that my Inc happened to be covered under extended warranty (this was about a month ago)

Assurion offered me the Inc2 for the 99 deductible, altough this may have been just because the Inc1 was out of stock. Id call a local Verizon retailer (NOT an official VZW store, one of the authorized resellers like Wireless Zone or similar) and see what options they have available.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d00dr:
They probably rebuilt your old one and are trying to unload it on me for that $99 deductible!

[Asus Transformer TF700] wolfman87:
Does anyone else have the problem where sometimes you can trace (swipe) the letters to type within the keyboard but other times you have to tap? For example in Supernote I can swipe but in my browser (chrome) I have to tap each key individually. I'm pretty sure I'm using the Asus KB all the time unless somehow it's application dependent..

I'm really happy with the Asus version and tried Swype but I'm not interested.

Thumb keyboard all the way.
[Asus Transformer TF700] legendary1022:
Fully agree. Thumb keyboard is the only option for tablets IMO. I can't imagine you swiping on a 10 in device. 7 inch swype is pushing it (I use thumb keyboard on my kindle fire as well).
[Asus Transformer TF700] nadram:
It's not a glitch bro.

The Asus swiping thingy is only compatible with certain apps or in certain situations.

I have the same thing with the Samsung GS3 - although the swiping functionality was slightly expanded in the latest FW update here.

I'm sure the same will happen with Asus; they will eventually make it work in more apps.

I THINK, if you want it to work any and every where, you're better off downloading a separate keyboard app.

Just wanted to share that MX Player using the Codec for Tegra 2 is able to play videos on ICS Roms. It uses S/W decoding as opposed to H/W because well we don't have hardware acceleration. But the S/W decoding has just as good quality as the H/W decoding. So if you want to watch videos on your ICS Rom you can try Mx Player. I have tested it on PanaroidAndroid build 5 and it works nicely.

That's weird are you sure you are using the right codec and on the top right when you open the player is says either s/w or s/w fast and not h/w? Because for me H/W works but it is massively laggy because that needs hardware acceleration but S/W fast work fine.

Forgive my ignorance, but I seem to be having the problems of not having consistent 4G. And slow 4G/3G transitions, as well as poor battery as a result.

I have also gotten the No mobile network, no sim, and roaming network notifications.

It seems like many are having these problems, yet people who report them seem to say it occured after flashing some ROM/Kernel (idk).

My phone is stock. Im wondering if its happening to other users who have not done any funny business.

Ironically I was holding off on rooting and rom'ing to avoid these little initial bugs :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Kreeker:
I was in same boat as you. I was holding off rooting and flashing roms to make sure my device was functioning correctly in stock form. Unfortunately it was not, and I was experiencing all of the issues you are facing on my SECOND gs3. I had replaced the first one for a loose home button, and ended up receiving a new device with more issues than the previous one.

I called up tech support last night, and listed all of the issues you just listed and the tech said those are all hardware issues so I'll have to send you another. I obviously haven't received the third phone yet, but I can tell you I was not experiencing these issues on my first one.
