[Nexus 7 General] erica_renee:
There is a conversation about the new android update the boot-loader update and A Power management chip on the nexus 7.. It seems this chip is being changed out. The new chip functions the same as they have been using but Its not compatible with the old boot-loader . The above is the reason for the boot-loader change.. Google is aware of the troubles everyone in this thread is having . I would be looking for a new very tiny update in the near days. Just a guess im wondering if the truth is they are gearing up for the 3g version of nexus .maybe the pm chip being changed has a issue with the added radios. They did say ITS NOT A Chip upgrade but will not say why they are making the switch .

sorry i do not have a link . but everyone knows how to get to google groups ..

Happy Reading..

I just got another N7 in the mail today, gonna unlock n root it when i get off work. hopefully i end up in your situation so i can attempt to assist in resolving this. why the old bootloader works for you, and never worked for the rest of the world is beyond me. they updated it for a reason lol, i even called google the first week i got mine in july to tell them about the bootloader and they "said" they would forward that info to the development team. it took almost 3 months for them to fix it.

if the old one works for you, then use the old one. the only difference really is the fact that reboot to recovery thru bootloader actually works. if it works for you, don't upgrade.

mine on the other hand, couldn't get into recovery via bootloader. i was dieing for that upgrade, and when it came i was beyond relieved. i did a RMA this week because my first one had screen lift since the 2nd day i owned it lol, so i'll report back when i get home in an hour or so on my results.
[Nexus 7 General] phonic:
Just to clarify, going from bootloader->recovery never worked for me either. Whenever I needed to get into recovery mode, I just opened up a terminal, su'd to root and then ran "reboot recovery", or occasionally doing it via adb. However, those methods always worked for me until I upgraded to the latest bootloader. Then, no custom recoveries would load via any method.

My Nexus7 was first generation. I actually picked it up in Sams Club the day before they were officially released. So if Google made any HW changes in the different revisions, that might explain the difference in results on 4.1.2. Though I imagine most people on XDA also picked theirs up out of the first batch, so I don't think that could be the case. What seems more likely is that there are minor hardware differences that are causing some people's to fail with the 3.41 bootloader, while most don't have that issue. It will be interesting to see if you experience the same issue on your new one though.
[Nexus 7 General] vitorfrost:
It didn't worked for me. I've tried Rootkeeper apk, but it was useless.

This was driving me crazy until I've found this topic! I've tried resetting it to original settings, using rootkeeper and traditional methods, nothing, zero!

At last, phonic saved my life, and finally I a could root my Nexus 7!
[Nexus 7 General] smirkis:
I never responded but my RMA worked as it should. but the issue has been resolved with recovery updates from the developers. the rest of the world who had issues should be good to go. I ended up selling my 16gb unit and got a 32 and it works as it should as well. are we all happy campers now?
[Nexus 7 General] HumanCaviar:
I've had similar experiences where the way certain kernels install zips are packaged, the wipe custom recoveries at install. In that situation, I've never wiped anything from system, but rebooted into bootloader and fastboot boot recovery "recovery.img". Then from there install the recovery.zip. The worst is when this happens when you get flash happy away from home and the kernel doesn't work. No way to fix without a comp w/SDK. Glad you're back up and running.

(I cannot be held responsible if the aforementioned damages your device; do the research and own the process.)

[General Questions and Answers] derik123derik123:
Alright, So I recently started messing with tasker and I had a couple of questions...

Pretty much I have two profiles: one when plugged into any source(ac/usb) and the second inverted.

Tasks as follows

I want to make sure that my bt(A2DP) volume is set to max.

As well as normal audio incase I am using AUX.

Next I want BT to be turned on.

Wifi Off.

And launch Pandora.

Now the issue is, when I go to bed, I don't want it to do as above.

So I want after 12am(Midnight) I don't want it to touch wifi, BT, or launch Pandora.

I was thinking for 3-4 do "If %TIME > 12:00"

but that didn't work.

Any ideas?

I feel as though I'm taking a long route for this, but who knows.

Thanks all!
[General Questions and Answers] joshuajones:
Best way would be to add a time context for the profile.

You can add a time-based "if" statement in your task, though.. but I find it better to do it as a context.

---------- Post added at 11:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:33 PM ----------

Specifically, long-press your context (ac/sub charger state) and select add context. There you can add the timeframe you want your profile to be active (?-12am).
[Windows Phone 7 General] guilhermedsx:
Hey guys. I'm having an issue with WP 7.5 (a Lumia 710 with the Tango Update).

You know when you install a lot of apps the "sorting by initial" will appear, to help you "jump" to apps that start with that letter. The problem is: I have like... 2 apps installed, besides the system ones.

And it's still showing.

Seriously I would be able to fit all my apps into half-screen scroll if it wasn't those ugly initials showing up.

Is it forced now, with Tango? Or once it appears because I installed a lot of apps, it won't go away anymore?

[Windows Phone 7 General] drupad2drupad:
Did you have more than 45 installed at some point and then got rid of most of them?

All I can see is a hard reset. This isn't a stock OS behaviour and there isnt any stock OS bug of this kind. Other than a bad flash/update, there can't be an explanation as you've hardly touched the registry.
[Windows Phone 7 General] guilhermedsx:
Exactly.

Never flashed anything, just did the Tango update via Zune... oh well. Not worth a factory reset.

Thanks for the help guys!

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alex240188:
It is safe unless you do something wrong.

As long as you keep the stock recovery and are only rooting the stock Rom. You will still get the ota updates while rooted.

However it is possible that applying the update will remove root, but then you can just root it again anyway
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] playya:
Why not just apply a rooted version of the update and save time and problems. Sometimes updates half further rooting capabilities
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sniperfox47:
Don't need stock recovery

Not true. You don't need stock recovery. Clockworkmod can apply updates as long as signature verification is disabled. It will patch completely normally but on your next boot will overwrite clockworkmod with stock recovery. You can avoid this by telling it to prevent itself from being modified when it asks when you hit reboot.

Rooting does not prevent updates in any way shape or form. The only things that prevent OTAs are modified fastboot (modified bootloader partition), modified gsm/cdma radio drivers (radio partition, does not apply to nexus 7), modified kernels or boot files (modified boot partition), icon packs, deodexing or other system apk mods (modified system partition), or some very specific changes to the data partition. All of those only include modifying existing files, not adding new files.

Google has a list of checks in their update and what's checked depends on the update so all of those things CAN prevent updating but not all of them will break any one update. If you root it just adds a small binary file onto the filesystem so you're fine. If you use that root to replace the calculator app with the one from gingerbread or something though it will change that file and may prevent updating.
