Will this work on other brands? Like HTC M9?
[Nexus 7 General] desev:
I finally find a solution, my problem was that after installing new ROMs, any of them didn't allow me to skip the initial wifi connection and when I connect to a network the verification step takes so much time and never ends. I realize that my problem was the gapps package that I used after I flashed the ROM, when I had the problem I used BaNkS-dynamic-gapps-5.x.x-8-12-15, but with tk_gapps-modular-mini-5.1.1-20150728-signed I can skip wifi connection step. I hope this can help people that have a similar problem.

PS. It doesn't work for me to skip initial configuration tapping the screen corners nor echoing build.prop (the first one showed the notification message but never took me out of the configuration, and the second one set my phone with problems, almost unusable).
[Nexus 7 General] ploebb:
change on the latest version of Android

On the latest version of Android (Nexus 7 2012 Wifi on 5.1.1 here, don't know since when it has changed ) the respective line in the build.prop changes from

ro.setupwizard.wifi_required=true

to

ro.setupwizard.network_required=true

So the command from the first post to skip wifi-setup solely changes to:

adb shell sed -i 's/ro.setupwizard.network_required=true/ro.setupwizard.network_required=false/g' /system/build.prop

This command searches for the line ro.setupwizard.network_required=true and replaces it with ro.setupwizard.network_required=false. So no harm is done trying, even if it doesn't work with your device.

Make sure the system-partition is mounted in your recovery before issuing this command.

Happy Wifi-skipping :good:

bypassing wifi setup

Please help an old newbie understand how to give commands to the N7 without usb debugging enabled.

My situation:

My daughter-in-laws N7 (2012) died. I believe that it was as a result of updating (OTA) to 5.0.2

It will boot up to the welcome screen- wifi setup (connected)- "WEBPAGE NOT AVAILABLE" at the top of the page with "net::ERR_ADDRESS_UNREACHABLE" at the bottom and only the back arrow available.

We have hard reset multiple times and tried two of the root toolkits to no avail.

The N7 will not respond to 'ADB DEVICES'

How can we access system settings to enable usb debugging?

Not minding the cough enforced WiFi setup as such... but, prytell why the heck did Google remove the WPS Button, for the duration of this Setup for.

I don't know what you done. But, in that case I would hold the Vol down, and press the Power till you got into the Fastboot mode. There you should be able to access your Device though #fastboot devices

At which point it might be advisable to restock yor Device again.
[Nexus 7 General] deadf1sh:
Thanks you very much, i confirm it works for me on 6.0.1
[Nexus 7 General] izk666:
Hi!

First of all, thanks for the patch. It worked fine, except for some inconvenience:

I couldn't mount system partition with either CWM or TWRP. Something like: "E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log" on the bottom when CWM starts and similar errors on TWRP.

After digging on the forum I found HERE the solution. After installing this CWM, I could mount the system partition.
[Nexus 7 General] lastusername:
Don't the adb shell commands in both branches of the instructions in the OP require adb access? And adb access is impossible without USB debugging mode which can't be turned on except in the settings on the device which can't be accessed without bypassing initial setup? Isn't this a catch-22 or am I missing something?

All I can get to is fastboot and no adb. Been at it a while and can't get past this. Some help please, anyone?
[Nexus 7 General] HighCommander4:
Before the instructions "branch", there are some steps to unlock the bootloader, install a recovery tool, and boot into the recovery tool. Those steps will give you adb access.

---------- Post added at 08:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:11 AM ----------

@organophosphate, do you have any advice for a Nexus 9? "fastboot oem unlock" doesn't work on a Nexus 9 without checking "Enable OEM unlock" in Developer Settings, which you can't get to until you get past the initial setup...
[Nexus 7 General] Apprriccott:

[Nexus 7 General] Endymion666:
Hey there, I know this topic is almost dead but anyways, I have a Nexus 7 2013 and I've got into the endless boot problem so I got into recovery and wiped data. It worked fine and the device booted. The thing is though that it needs wifi access, but since at this point I live in China where Google is banned the device connects to wifi but obviously fails to connect to Google services and it doesn't time out, it just spins there forever and that's it. For me at this point this is just a bricked device. Since I can't pass this screen I can't enable usb debugging. Is there anything at all that I could possibly do?
[Nexus 7 General] Rashad83:
Check my guide, you need to bypass the first boot setup by editing the build.prop using the code responsible for that. Also the reason you can't pass the Wifi setup page is because of the factory reset protection, next time before you do a factory reset sign out from your Google account on the device then do a factory reset. This way you can setup the device without a Google account or Wifi.

Your other option is to find a Wifi connection without censorship, like a WiFi router with built-in VPN. Or make a hotspot Wifi connection from a device that uses data connection+VPN not sure if this method will work for you but in theory it should.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shamreez:
Hi,

I have been a WP user for a very long time (A journey which started with HTC Artemis)

I had started using the custom ROM's provided by some amazing chef's over here compared to what MS was dishing out.

I am not having the WP7 from the first day it had launched (Started with the mozart and now on lumia 800)

I have not yet tried to root the mobile or install a custom ROM in this as for the first time I am loving what MS has given.

Since there are quite a lot of people here who are using custom ROM and also rooting their devices I was wondering what I am missing.

If you have rooted your device or installed a custom ROM please let me know the advantages of rooting and/or installing a custom ROM.

I had searched the threads and could not find an answer anywhere so if this was posted somewhere before apologies.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
This has definitely been asked (and answered) before, but the short version is that custom ROMs give deeper access to the system (ability to replace system files, which are locked in ROM, and ability to completely bypass the security system, for example). They also can include the best firmware features from multiple different OEMs. Current "rooting" ability gives less complete access than a custom ROM (for example, native EXEs aren't supported yet, although that's being worked on and should be available soon), but also maintains the OS's ability to receive official updates. Stock ROMs are also less likely to have bugs than custom ROMs, though they typically also offer fewer features.

Of course, part of it comes down to the model of phone you have. LGs can be rooted, but don't get custom ROMs. Lumia 710s (and a very lucky few Lumia 800s) can get custom ROMs, but we havent' been able to root their stock ROMs.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shamreez:
I had checked a few threads but did not find the complete list of benifits in one central place hence this thread.

I am giving below the benefits of rooting based on my little knowledge. It would be great if some one would be able to add to this very small list.

Pro's of rooting

1) Can install the best firmware for your phone regardless of your carrier and your location.

2) Can side load apps which are not approved by MS and not in the marketplace

3) SMS tones

4) Using the phone as mass storage (Not sure about this one)

5) Change the available fonts and metro theme colors

A very small list from me so it would be really great if someone could expand and also correct if the above list is wrong.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeuroXT:
I just really dont know if I should custom rom mine. I have so many sms and mms, couple of my games are finished, and final fantasy is still halfway through. Carbon isnt in the marketplace anymore but I still have it. Also messages in whatsapp viber and kik, risking all those for full unlock and homebrew apps that I need but lived without since I bought a titan. If it were possible to export messages, and game progress, and import them back, then I'd definitely custom rom mine, else I'll just have to get a lumia 920 and then do a custom rom.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GodlikePL:

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeuroXT:
Thanks sianto I really appreciate it, but I've read some posts around that backing up via cabsender and after installing a custom rom, you won't be able to use that backup anymore as the ID changes per rom install. Is this true? Is it not like in android where you perform a full nand backup and restore anytime?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sianto1997:
Well, it is unstable sometimes! But you just need to copy the folder xxxxx - xxxxx - xxxxx - xxxxx - xxxxx

x: is something random

from an temp folder called Windows Phone Update C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Phone Update

to an safe location, and (after flashing) place it back (with still an extra copy on a safe location) and just use R.

It "should" work!

4. Froze the camera using TB>rebooted> defroze camera using TB>tried camera>camera failed

5. tried replacing the stock e-mail.apk with the one I downloaded here in this forum..unfortunately, everytime I try renaming the e-mail apk for it to be replace with the apk I downloaded here, it just stays as it is- I used droid tweaker to do do this part.. still camera failed

6. restocked to 2.3.3 using ODIN and tried above method..camera fail

7. flashed it to ICS CM 9.1 again..camera failed..

8. restocked to 2.3.3..

This is certainly the safest way to do it. You can also use any root explorer (like, for example, rootexplorer) and start deleting things. Not any thing, mind you. Just apps, fonts or media files in their respective folders. And it's very risky if you don't know what you're deleting.

Also, you can move system apps to the sdcard by making them user apps (with Titanium or a similar tool). However, most system apps don't work correctly if you convert them to user apps, so be careful with this too.
