Worked for me thanks.

As I have CWM, CWM asked if I want to flash untrusted update - I said yes. After isntall, I rebooted back to Recovery (as it said something about restoring stock recovery while installing update). CWM was still there. I told CWM to reboot and it said 'you may have lost root'. I selected yes to fix root and it rebooted. all seems fine now.

actually works with doing airplane mode, there was other instructions the same way but without airplane mode and it didnt work ... thanks :good:
[Nexus 4 General] smirkis:
this actually worked! thanks
[Nexus 4 General] Luxferro:
That was just coincidence. I've been doing this for all my nexus devices (4 total) for the last couple years. It's no secret.

Glad to see this little trick is working out nicely (as expected) for so many of us 'round the world. Once again, enjoy! :)
[Nexus 4 General] hondarider525:
I did this and received an update. It wasn't android 4.2.1. Still on 4.2.
[Nexus 4 General] skillllllz:
Ah yes, that was the first update that went out after the device shipped to end users. You just got that one now? When did you start using your N4? Try this method again, you should get 4.2.1 next.
[Nexus 4 General] Oggy512:
i become the update, but it fails on installation, when the phone reboots into "install mode(?)"

i'm rootet and have the % battery mod and custom stat bar. can this be the reason?
[Nexus 4 General] Ballastatuz:
Worked instantly

Clearing google services framework and the above did it for me :) thanks
[Nexus 4 General] jaulomero:
But with this method, you need to backup and reload? or the upgrade process leave data intact.
[Nexus 4 General] berryc:
Worked for me first time
[Nexus 4 General] wmjt22:
Thanks

Just clearing google services framework then searching for an update worked for me first time.

Thanks for this, was curious when the update would come on it own!
[Nexus 4 General] rudedog1979:
Workkkkkkkks!

Thanks a lot, the force checking worked 1st time! thanks.

4.2.1!
[Nexus 4 General] GreekboyD:
No luck at all for me. I've had the phone since Sunday and still no OTA install prompt.

Is it because I need a micro sim? Can't think of anything else.

Thanks.
[Nexus 4 General] GreekboyD:
Hi guys. I got my micro sim LTE card yesterday and I still haven't been prompted for the OTA 4.2.1 update.

Any suggestions?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jozkam:
Since upgrading to Windows 8 the toolkit for android and pretty much the drivers are impossible to get working.

It seems that the device has nothing on it, zip, zero. No matter how I try to recover it what ROM it tried to install it didn't work and when I try to access anything via command prompt it can not find the device.

I look at the devices on system manager and there is one listed as unknown device but I do have android phone listed as a device.

It plugs in, makes a sound knowing there is something but its unknown. Tried using the Samsung drivers, no luck there.

I need to do a complete reboot, get the original folders back on but don't know how to get it to recognise and get things going again.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manasgirdhar:
You need to disable driver signing in windows 8 to be able to install drivers for the Nexus.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jozkam:
Done this already, for some strange reason the device listed in Device manager now knows its a adb interface but still listed as a unknown device.

Try getting to look at the Samsung drivers but still no luck.

When you go into the device properties it states the following;-

Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMarkwald:
Windows 8 doesn't seem to work very well with adb/fastboot etc...

Do you have access to another computer that has Windows 7 (or XP, Linux?)?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jozkam:
Thanks for you help guys so far.

I do have a Vista 32bit laptop that I can use. Going to install the Toolkit, drivers etc on there and see how far it goes.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMarkwald:
I've read where people who are using Win8 and fastboot flashing .img files to get back to stock, it stops/locks up in varying spots...after three hours of messing with it they try another OS (Win7, Linux) and it works within minutes.

Hopefully, Vista works...and I'm sorry you have to resort to Vista! :p
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jozkam:
Well I seen to be getting somewhere but still with strange issues in Device Manager.

It shows Android device with the following devices below.

- Android Composite ADB Interface (yellow exclamation mark)

- Google Nexus 7 ADB Interface (yellow exclamation mark)

- Google Nexus 7 ADB Interface (yellow exclamation mark)

- Google Nexus 7 ADB Interface (yellow exclamation mark)

- Google Nexus 7 ADB Interface (yellow exclamation mark)

- Google Nexus 7 ADB Interface (working properly)

- Google Nexus 7 BootLoader Interface (yellow exclamation mark)

Further down I have Portable Devices with MTP Device listed (yellow exclamation mark).

I have Google Nexus Toolkit installed.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMarkwald:
Is this from your Vista machine or Win8 machine now?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jozkam:
Vista machine.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMarkwald:
Strange. Did you install the USB drivers? Maybe download them from Asus, extract them to your Desktop, right click on your N7 in Device Manager and unistall the drivers for your device, then connect your N7 and browse to the location of the downloaded USB drivers....?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jozkam:
Okay following God knows how many windows updates, following restart I can see that the MTP device is now showing as working properly.

When running the toolkit (version 3.2) it shows the device number at the top under ADB mode but not under Fastboot mode.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jozkam:
Remind me which USB drivers?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jozkam:
Okay, puzzling but it appears to be getting somewhere.

In device manager there is one instance of Google Nexus 7 ADB Interface under Android Device and MTP Device under Portable Devices even though it seems to reinstall the same instance of MTP device every 1 minute or so.

I am installing the Samsung drivers however, the same as before when it comes to the Toolkit. The ADB mode list of devices shows correctly, nothing underneath fastboot mode.

What would be the next stage?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMarkwald:
I would boot into fastboot, change directory to your Android SDK - Platform Tools directory, and if you type: fastboot devices

does anything show up?

Well, I would reflash stock images completely. Hopefully you have a backup of whatever is/was on your internal sd card because doing this will erase it.

You can get the image from here (note, I am assuming you have the N7 Wifi Only): https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#nakasi

Then, you can revert to stock by following this post: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/28544-guide-nexus-7-bootloadersrecoveriesrootback-to-stock/#entry764332

NOTE: Step 10 the file name will be different than shown.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jozkam:
Ok so I have managed to get into the ClockworkMod recovery v6.0.1.9, going with the 'install zip from sideload', used the command adb sideload nakasi-jop40c-factory-6aabb391.tar.

The screen on nexus says:

Restarting adbd...

Finding update package...

E: Cant open /tmp/update.zip

(bad)

Installation aborted.

Sorry about this I am a complete amateur when it comes to this stuff, thanks for the help so far.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jozkam:
UPDATE: - I used the CLEANROM 2.5 zip file and it has now gone back to its original state, YES, thank you so much.

This may have happened when I started to use Paranoid Android, they brought out a beta 5 version, which originally worked but I can't see to get it updated via the 'update recovery' step.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1800268

Thanks once again.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jozkam:
Steps done, back to stock which is great, thanks a lot.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jozkam:
Oh man just when I thought my problems were finished.

One thing I forgot to do was run the superuser zip file to give permissions on the clockworkmod recovery. Even trying to do something with Rom Manager within jellybean itself but it says I need permissions.

How can I reverse back and get the superuser.zip from working? At the moment I can not access recovery, tried using command prompts and Rom Manager but to no avail.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMarkwald:
You can boot back into fastboot, and download the latest TWRP Recovery from here: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/103

They even give you instructions on the command to run type in: fastboot flash recovery <name of recovery file>

Put the .img file in your Android SDK - Platform Tools folder as well.

Type in the flash recovery command, then reboot to recovery.

From there, you can flash the Superuser.zip (I assume you have it?). If not, here it is: http://download.chainfire.eu/282/SuperSU/CWM-SuperSU-v0.98.zip

You'll also want to make sure that the following files are deleted/removed:

/system/etc/install-recovery.sh

/system/recovery-from-boot.p

The reason being is that if they are there, it will reload the stock Android recovery at reboot, which will remove TWRP or CWM if you have flashed those. I would just rename them by putting a .bak on the end of the file names. But to do this, you'll need root first. You may have to: fastboot flash recovery, flash SuperSU zip, reboot, browse to those two locations to verify if those files exist/rename them, fastboot flash recovery again...reboot, and recovery may stick. When I went back to stock and fastboot flashed TWRP, I checked for those files and they weren't there, and recovery stuck just fine.

You're learning the manual way, congratulations! Not too bad is it?!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jozkam:
Wouldn't have got this far without you, really appreciate your help, now its stable with 2.54 Paranoid Android.

[Nexus 10 General] wryun:
So I got the Nexus 10 (sold iPad 3 to get it) and I am impressed with it. The screen is amazing, I have good battery life, and excellent performance.

However, streaming Netflix is not as crisp, the lack of tablet optimized apps is annoying, and reading is kind of awkward. I don't like landscape reading and portrait mode is too tall.

It seems like the huge resolution is ahead of it's time and I am sure it's just a matter of waiting for apps to catch up.

These are a few things that have been bothering me lately with this tablet.

Anyone else have these thoughts or know how to get passed the early adoption period? I am debating whether or not to sell it and get the Nexus 7. Seems like a reasonable (more universal) screen resolution with plenty of power. Also, seems like a good size for reading and web surfing.

Thanks.

UPDATE: Thanks for all of the feedback.

After writing this post, I found some awesome review videos from YouTuber "oode". After watching those, I spent some time tweaking and getting my n10 set up. It helped me realize what a rad tablet we have in the n10.

I still have a few annoyances to figure out with movies (best player to use and rip settings), HD Netflix streaming, and better battery life tips. I am sure more Googling and XDA searching will help answer these.
[Nexus 10 General] Ravenbf:
Before you sell it and get a Nexus 7, see if anyone you know has one and try it out. It would suck for you to sell the 10, get a 7 and find out you regret it. This is my second 10 inch tab, and at first it can see overwhelming, especially with the 10's resolution, but just keep playing with it. It will grow on you. Before long you will have no issues reading in portrait mode. For me its like reading a hard cover book without the weight and thickness. I hope you grow to like, and as for apps, I dealt with that with my last tablet.....not to many tablet optimized apps, and now I am seeing it again. Not a deal breaker for me. I would rather have apps playing catch up then my tablet be out dated in a month. Just my opinions.
[Nexus 10 General] Tomatoes8:
Don't get a Nexus 7. The screen isn't very good and screen lift.
[Nexus 10 General] nalrodriguez:
I just got mine today and well i can say i am really impressed with it , and i love it. I know there are not many apps optimized for the tab but yeah its not that bad for me. Also My netflix streaming is awesome, whats happening to yours ?
[Nexus 10 General] Gaugerer:
If you feel the screen is too big try using a 15 inch laptop for a while which will put the Nexus 10 inch screen with it's higher screen resolution in/to perspecive.

I have not touched my laptop since getting the Nexus 10 which was not the case with my Galaxy tab 7.7 inch screen which I have sold.

I find, just like my laptop, that I don't need any apps for using the Web and there are plenty of stand alone apps for navigation, music, office, games etc.

I hold the Nexus 10 in landscape like a laptop for viewing videos and web sites with a lot of full width detail so that I don't need to zoom, otherwise I use portrait.

Think twice before selling the Nexus 10 for it is the only tablet which gives a high definition Netbook performance in an even more portable format.

Try the Ocean browser too for it makes Web browsing on the Nexus 10 very fast and it supports Flash too.
[Nexus 10 General] leyvatron:
I feel the same way OP. I had a nexus 7 and I loved it. Netflix and video media on the nexus 10 is a turn down. The screen is amazing but I sold my nexus 7 for a better media viewing experiece. The watching of media or movies isn't good at all on the Nexus 10.

I'm also debating of keeping or returning.
[Nexus 10 General] Croak:
I don't see the problem with Netflix. Seriously. Plays fine and looks as good as it can considering Netflix streams at 720p at best.

Don't see the issue with any other media either. There are issues with codecs but that's a problem with the Nexus7 as well, just comes with the AOSP territory.
[Nexus 10 General] nalrodriguez:
Same here i cant find the problem with netflix, mine looks great. As good as it gets i can say.
[Nexus 10 General] leyvatron:
Netflix video and audio don't match on my tablet. Also, Frames skips after a while.

Is my tablet defective??

Can you guys try a few movies and let me know.

Thanks.
[Nexus 10 General] nagle3092:
I feel the same way OP. I'm on my second one after returning the first for light bleed, go figure this ones worse. I like the size it just doesn't have the performance I was expecting. Yeah its got a huge rez, but my N4 feels 10x more fluid than the N10. Even just basic stuff like swiping to another screen feels better on the N4. IMO the android experience is just a lot better on the N4, which I find myself using even when I have the N10 sitting next to me.
[Nexus 10 General] leyvatron:
I did a factory restore a few hours ago wanting to return the Nexus, I reinstalled Netflix right now and it is running good. That's strange. I'm also not getting any WiFi drops like I was getting before. I'm going to keep an eye on this.
[Nexus 10 General] abhele:

[Nexus 10 General] ezas:
Did you get tired typing so much information about your conclusion? And you must be very well placed in the tech community to pass judgement on a device that SOLD, not shipped, sold, one million units last month alone. Screen lift? Seriously? that is so last month's news.

But thanks for your 8 word review of the N7.

Apples to Apples the N10 is the better hardware platform. No question. It has both a front and rear facing camera. Has a display that might rival the retina display on the iPad, etc.

Get the N7 if you want a tab that will fit in a jacket or back pocket, can be held in one hand and can be bought for under $300. It really comes down to size, and your intended use. The N7 is not for bragging rights. It's for having a pure Google device in the same price you can get a Kindle or Nook for.

I'm here to read about how the new 10's see what problems they might be having, etc. But I am VERY happy with my N7 and take it everywhere with me. When I get the N10 I'll be keeping the N7.
[Nexus 10 General] impulse101:
Im not bummed out, this tab is 100x better than the ipad

---------- Post added at 11:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:21 AM ----------

Whats wrong with checking that?
[Nexus 10 General] Croak:
Well, my own anecdotal Nexus 7 experience is that I account for FIVE of the devices. 4 16gb units and 1 32gb. Every single one of them had a major defect, including my current 32gb.

First one had a bad USB connector as well as major light bleed, but never had time to develop the screen lift issue because it was on the way back to Asus in a matter of hours.

Second one had astoundingly bad light bleed in 8 places, once again sent back before the screen had time to lift.

Third one had modest light bleed, but creaked, and within a week the screen lifted an epic amount. I was worried I might slice my hand.

The fourth also had bad light bleed, came shipped with a broken tab on the back cover so there was always a gap on the left side, and (wait for it) the screen was doing an epic lift. Still waiting on its replacement to come back from Asus.

And my final and current model is an October production 32gb that seemed pretty good at first, almost no light bleed and the least washed-out looking display of the bunch. And within two days the screen was lifting.

Now, I only purchased 2, my first 16gb and my current 32gb, both at retail stores. I should also note that it cost me $80 so far in RMA shipping.

I like the form factor for some things, mostly books and surfing on the throne. I'm satisfied with the performance, and not unhappy with the purchase price. It does what it does pretty well. But it's built like a 80's Hyundai.
[Nexus 10 General] Gunthermic:
Love the N10, playing full encoded BD 720p movies with no problems. Haven't tested the 1080p BD encodes yet.

Netflix runs great, Slingplayer runs good.

My N7 goes everywhere with me. It has no issues and was a first run batch.. light bleed? who knows, i dont put mine in a pure black enviorment with max brightness just to find a problem. IMO once it's reported a few times, some poeple go out of thier way to find fault.

I agree the N10 gonna take some time to get used to to read on. But playing games on is fun....

Both great products and excellant build IMO
[Nexus 10 General] espionage724:
It either increases performance or causes stuff to break (well, I guess it could also do both :p). It's worth checking out if you haven't though.

As for being bummed out; meh, I sold my Nexus 7 for a Nexus 10 because of the specs. A15 ARM processor, Mali-T604 GPU, 2560x1600 resolution, that just destroyed the Nexus 7's specs. It seems the Nexus 10 can run hot enough after a long enough period of load to throttle the CPU frequency lower, which is a slight concern. Nexus 4 also does this, but I'm not entirely sure if such a thing occurs on the Nexus 7 or not.

My main interest in getting a Nexus 10 was gaming. However, when playing DEAD TRIGGER and SHADOWGUN: DeadZone, I feel that the N10's size is a bit... too much. Getting a controller should easily solve this little problem though :)

But in any case, the Nexus 10 also has HDMI-out, rear-facing camera, 5GHz WiFi support, LED light notification, better front-facing camera, and front-facing speakers. Nexus 7 doesn't have any of that (unless something changed with the newer models).
[Nexus 10 General] ender255:
No issues with Netflix for newer videos, older stuff doesn't look great on anything. Videos I'm streaming from PC look awesome and I just use a Nook touch for my reading, need eink for that. Yea some apps don't look as great as they could, but nothing as bad as an iPhone app on the iPad.
[Nexus 10 General] wryun:
I think a lot of my thoughts and feelings stem from just coming from an iPad with thousands of tablet optimized apps, down to less than 100 on the n10. When it comes down to it, I use my tablet primarily for reading, web browsing, videos (YouTube, Netflix and Movies), taking notes, and very light gaming. I don't use that many apps on my tablet. However, I have a lot of apps on my gNexus since it has an internet connection 24/7. The only reason I use my laptop is when I want to do some real PC gaming.

After writing this post, I found some awesome review videos from YouTuber "oode". After watching those, I spent some time tweaking and getting my n10 set up. It helped me realize what a rad tablet we have in the n10.

I still have a few annoyances to figure out with movies (best player to use and rip settings), HD Netflix streaming, and better battery life tips. I am sure more Googling and XDA searching will help answer these.

[Nexus 10 General] Stylus_XL:
Oode's reviews are the main reason why I bought my Nexus 10! After seeing his enthusiasm for the tablet I was sold. Google need to cut that dude a cheque.
[Nexus 10 General] Tomatoes8:
It's a great and helpful review considering the screen is pretty important and it not lifting is pretty important too.
[Nexus 10 General] Semantics:
Or karma could be paying you back for something. I have a first batch N7 and it's completely flawless to this day. The people on XDA represent a huge minority of the user base, and to go through that many devices, you either have the worst luck in the world, or are exaggerating. I think it's the latter, personally.

If its red leds and your battery has absolutely no charge. Take a SPARE micro usb cable and cut off the end with the micro usb. Take your battery out of the device and connect the red and black wires from your SPARE micro usb and connect the black wire to negative terminal on the battery and red wire to positive terminal on battery. Use sticky tape or similar so u dont have to hold in place for hours:p leave it for couple of hours and the battery should be fully charged.
