i had to factory reset to get it to boot coming from cookies and cream rom, also needed to install busybox to get full root - thanks for your work on this !

I must say that android 4.2 is very fast stock and I can't wait for some custom Roms and kernels to make it even faster
[Nexus 7 Android Development] markbo2000:
I also cleared data and am stuck on google start screen!! Damn. Ok, now I need drivers to mount to recovery...it is not showing up when trying to mount to sd.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] cdrom1028:
:good: Very Nice.. Actually I had my Nexus 7 on the stock 4.2 yesterday, however i installed the CWM you included and flashed the SuperSu.zip you included and my nice pristine stock install is now rooted with SuperSu and all is good in my world. Thanks for the speedy effort!!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] havi007:
what do you mean by solved does it take more than ten minutes because right now i am sitting on the x too

nvm i figured it out i had to wipe data
[Nexus 7 Android Development] markbo2000:
Mine did not sit on the X that long. But I had some issues on the Google screen. I ended up having to send img files by fastboot.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Rody2k6:
This worked perfectly for me, I had the red exclamation mark problem and etc, and this worked amazing.

Thanks
[Nexus 7 Android Development] killedbyaguitar:
Guess you should'nt try this in windows 8, I am able to acces bootloader and recovery put now I'm screwing around in ubuntu to actually get it work, still a thanks so for the effort, nice work. :D
[Nexus 7 Android Development] thehumble1:
It isn't an impossible task to do manually, but it would be nice to know if it runs in Win8. It seems that if the proper drivers install from the Nexus 7 Toolkit, then fastboot should work and it might be a go. Or just run it by hand, it's only a few steps: move the SuperSu, delete boot and system, push boot and system, wipe cache and data, reboot, boot into CWM and flash SuperSu. the only trick is to get CWM back on which requires another fastboot push.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Guys, if you're stuck at boot animation just use the mskip tool to flash factory stock image and come right back here when it boots. Sometimes a complete clean start is best. Worked great for me after I used the method I mentioned but that was when there was only one runme option

Edit...the "0" partition is something new and supposed to be that way. Koush and devs have to solve working with it. You can move (rather merge) folders with Root Explorer and things like music and games work just fine

B4 pulling the trigger

Hi y'all:

I just received a virgin N7 32GB (charging up right now). Just need to confirm before rooting/addCWM.

* It probably has 4.1.2 right now. Upgrading OTA to 4.2 (before rooting) or not shouldn't make any different ?!

* My PC (win7 64bit) should be ready since I've been running it with another N7 16GB (currently on TeamEOS 4.1.2).

* Just follow the readme file --> flash away.

Does it sound right ?

Thanks.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] yuvi_r:
what's that supposed to mean?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] zevengfx:
can i use this if i have unlock bootloader and no root?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Ryan_Shea:
followed instructions and everything went perfect. thanks man. is there a way to donate?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] xpure:
Please help me i'm desperate i'm stuck in fastboot screen the only thing i've managed to do is to unlock bootloader..

Cant get off of here it looks i can use fastboot commands is there a way to do this trough those commands?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] N@th_OC:
FIRST PART: (Unbricked your device)

First of it don't be afraid your device is not dead.

use this for unbricking your Nexus man: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1781250

But don't go after the step 6.

SECOND PART: (Root your device)

After that your device will be unbricked.

So reboot and activate usb debugging.

Download SuperSu: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1538053

Download latest TWRP here: http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/grouper/openrecovery-twrp-2.3.2.1-grouper.img

From cmd (assuming you have fastboot/adb and you know how it work) type:

adb push path-to-zip/CWM-SuperSU-v0.98.zip /sdcard

Then reboot into bootloader and:

fastboot flash recovery path-to-img/openrecovery-twrp-2.3.2.1-grouper.img

after that go to your recovery then install Supersu.

And if i'm not wrong or forgetting anything, reboot and you'll have a rooted 4.2 Nexus 7

Please before doing anything of it wait for somebody to approved what i wrote. (I think there is all you need but in case i forget something.)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] zevengfx:
please :(
[Nexus 7 Android Development] N@th_OC:
I think so, but if i were you i'll test to root my device with fastboot.

Because if one day you have a problem with fastboot/adb you will be able to fix it yourself

Cause this tool cannot help you when your device is bricked
[Nexus 7 Android Development] mcdermott1:
Has anyone on here got this to work on Windows 8, if so what did you do or where did you get the drivers from.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] sk8trix:
Okay so I have successfully flashed 4.2 onto my device using your utility.Everything took like ten minutes.

I did not erase data but there seem to be no force closes or anything really wrong up to this point.

I hear battery life is crap on the new software but then again maybe it has to cycle once or twice until battery life is good again maybe it user error.

So far I'm okay except I'm hating that new clock on the lockscreen its the worst thing ever but you win some you lose some.

Thank you for helping us out and now I just got to figure out the 4.2 720p camera issue.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ezas:
Good question. Most of the flashable ROMS/utilities are assuming 4.1.2

But I can also see the case for taking the OTA.

I did a data reset so I could play with stock 4.2 before the custom ROMS come.

I think it just depends on what you want.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] danbst:
Worked flawlessly first time and in under 5 mins from start to end.

Nice one.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] tjengo:
Wow. That was easy. Thank you very much.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] N@th_OC:
Use Wugs root toolkit for that.

Some drivers which already are on Windows 8 block the installation of fastboot/adb driver on Winodws8.

Withe the Wug's toolkit you can delete those drivers first and after that you can install the new one.

Takes two minutes and it's working great.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] andrewdroid:
Thanks for the great tool. I had updated it OTA, but lost root. I figured I should probably just have used your app from the start. Anyway, it worked great. Now I'm on stock 4.2 with root and cwm. Hooray.

(It'll be interesting to see what the rom devs bring to this later)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] hyperxguy:
So.. my new 32GB N7 is a C90 (JRQ03S, 4.1.1). I decided to stay with 4.1.2 until all is clear on 4.2 with the apps. I used the toolkit + CWM6.0.1.5 (taken from here) + flashed 3.41 bootloader + customed 4.1.2ROM + battery-saver kernel --> everything is going so well, not a single issue. I already brought it down to 13GB left and not done yet.

By the way, the unit is perfect, not a single flaw (same as my other 16GB N7 C60). The new Poetic case is awesome, fits great and thin, will see how long it lasts.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] claptnei:
Help please?

Mine is stuck on erasing cache..................

Wait for the black screen to clear and the bootloader to load then

Press any key to continue . . .

I went to several Sprint locations, and none of them had the body glove case. I was also hoping to get something with a belt clip.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] EVOIXGSR:
The only case I found locally in stock for my Note 2 was at the AT&T store and it was a white/grey CaseMate with a built in kickstand I think it cost $38 and did not come with a screen protector. Wish Otterbox made a Commuter style with built in kickstand for the Note 2.

Case

I bought the Ringke SLIM Soft Feeling Premium Hard Case. It's slim. adds very little bulk while protecting at the same time and got it off of amazon for 10.99 on sale from 25.00. I added the Spigen SGP Ultra Oloephobic screen protector and it's totally protected. I love them both.......

$5 Ionic Position folio-style case off of Amazon. Offers good protection, looks good, and doesn't have a magnetic closure (huge!).

I just purchased a Seidio Active-like case off of Amazon to use until the Seidio Active combo either comes down in price or shows up at Best Buy for 2/3rds of what it costs now.

I also just returned an Amzer Shellster because it was a piece of crap that broke three days in. Spending $6 to return an item that I'll get $14 back for, after spending $5 initially to have it shipped. Really thrilled about Amzer's customer service policies.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Egypt1337:

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] knimrod:
Bought this case on Ebay.. Very nice armored case for $10 shipped from the US.. A tad heavy but good protection with a built in kickstand. Feels like hard rubber over a plastic shell. Available in different color combinations as well. I'm very happy with it.

The picture from the seller shows some misalignment of the holes over the phone but the alignment in the case I received is perfect. My only complaint would be that the stylus is a little hard to get out if you have extremely short fingernails because the case is nice and thick around the corners.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] cyrano821:
Honestly i think the silicone soft shells for $1.50 provide adequate protection.

They are excellent when holding as the silicone provides the best grip. I noticed that it protects the trim very well. I bought an ionic from Amazon and i prefer the cheaper case.

Not bulky at all. Really like the grip i get as it allows my small hands one handed operation. It's a little difficult but manageable
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mr mystery:
Ditto, TPU I got at Pacific Mall for $6. Fits great, looks great, protects great. The trifecta :)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] F123D:
Also bought the Body Glove case from Sprint. Love how thin it is yet protects the sides of the phone and has a small lip. Will continue keeping an eye out for cases but this will be pretty hard to top.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] volumnus:
I ordered one a few days ago. It's enroute. I will let you know my opinion of it in a few days. It looks good, and it has good reviews from Note 2 users. I didn't buy it from this dealer. I got it for a little under ten bucks from another vendor.

Update: I received this, and it's just as advertised. It's easy on and off, and it seems solid. It fits snug. It sometimes pushes up my screen guard, but that's not the fault of the case. The kick stand wouldn't stay closed, so I sanded one side just a tad, and now it's snug as a bug.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] angryphoton:
+1 , the guy at Sprint was actually trying to disuade me from buying the bodyglove case, trying to sell me the samsung flip cover instead. it was the last bodyglove cover and i had a feeling he wanted it for himself or a friend of his... :D
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Dr. Evo:
I went to a mall Sprint Store and a Sprint kiosk. Neither had this phantom body glove. I don't understand why it's so friggin difficult to find cases for these popular Samsung phones. I've also went to a Best Buy Mobile store and an actual Best Buy store, and no luck. It makes no sense. So now I'm on Amazon trying to find a cover that's not going to be ridiculously ugly or non-functional. This phone is so sleek that I feel adding some bulky cover will make it gargantuan and really unattractive. But I don't want to risk dropping this like I did my Note I.

I'm leaning towards these covers...

nice solution if you want a slim and non-plastic feeling one.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] MaStA819:
Nothing too extreme on mine as far as being stretched. On some of the edges I can push it in a tiny bit, but I imagine it has to be slightly looser than perfect fit so you can get it onto the phone. Overall I don't mind it, but eventually I will get something else. I am considering maybe getting a case with a clip for your belt since it may work better for work that way, but it fits fine in my pockets as well though.

Either way, for the five dollars or so this case was it is working fine and a plus was it was able to be shipped prime at the time and arrive with my phone. I also have the ultra oleophobic spigen protector on it. :)

Cases as well as the phones themselves are in short supply around here..No one has any to speak of...

I've had this style case on my Captivates from the start...and prefer it over anything else I have used..If it's anything like that one...it won't add a lot of bulk..should offer pretty good protection and grip-ability..and should still slide in and out of pockets easy..but...we will see how it does when it gets here...
