[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dekan54:
Thank you for the reply. I have tried the "adb sideload" option in TWRP and it fails. I get the error - "error - device not found"

I welcome anyone who might have some idea's for me to try.

Thanks
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blackdragon77:
Thy to see my edit upon how to run sideload.

You must not use the tookit, but you must install android sdk and use the true adb
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dekan54:
I will load the true adb sdk toolkit and give that a shot. Thank you for your help.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blackdragon77:
No problem! Tell me if that's the solution!

I was having the same problem also. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe in Fastboot mode (Android laying on it's back - chest open), you cannot use adb. Here you can use Fastboot. Adb is use when in Recovery mode. Have you tried using fastboot.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] escalhavardo:
Do you connect your N7 with adb ? if yes, try the clockworkmod recovery v6.0.1.9 , it has a fuction very good to push rooms, it is the "instal zip from sideload"

it worked for me
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scott_doyland:
You are correct, the OP needs to go into recovery (TWRP recovery is fine) and use adb to push files to the device- you can't use adb from fastboot.

I have used exactly the same method myself as I was in exactly the same situation myself.

Of course the OP needs adb on his PC from the SDK as mentioned earlier in the thread.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dekan54:
Still having the same error after installing adb from the sdk on my Win7 computer. I also made sure I installed JAVA and downloader the updates for the adb sdk.

The error is still - "error - device not found"

When I use TWRP to look at the files on my Nex7 the following folders are present

cache

data

dev

proc

res

root

sbin

sdcard

sys

system

tmp

usb-otg

default.prop

fstab.grouper

fstab.qcom

init

init.rc

ueventd.goldfish.rc

ueventd.grouper.rc

uevent.rc

The folder "sdcard is empty except for a twrp folder....

Any other things I should try?

Thanks

Hello, this is my first time posting in XDA- Developers so i might be getting it wrong.

2 months ago i broke my iPhone 3G and a needed a new phone, so i decided getting a Samsung galaxy captivate for 100 dollars. when it came it was already rooted and unlocked on 2.1 Eclair so i went ahead and put my T-Mobile sim in it. I updated it to 2.3.5 Gingerbread via kies and i lost root access.

I know this question may already be asked, but how do i re-root it. i have tried all possible things:

Odin

OneClick

Galaxy Root for All Galaxy Models

My question is if it can't be rooted, how do i downgrade to something rootable.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
This... [Utility] KK4 Easy Root

Or simply Odin flash the KK4 Corn Kernel version 7.0A , afterwards reboot into the cwm recovery. Option is there to gain Root access.

Since u r new here, Welcome ! Take a look at the forum rules and other stickied threads in the captivate forums when u got time. This phone has been around 2 1/2 yrs...so there is a lot of helpful info already posted.

Enjoy and happy flashin! :thumbup:

I have a question on safe strap 3 . since I have been out of the loop for a while and do not have permission to post in the safestrap thread. My question is does the size of the partition matter when you make a rom slot does it affect performance if you only make it 1 gig?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] sfcascooter:
It affects the allocation for apps

It doesn't affect performance -- but you are limiting the space where you can install applications to use while running that ROM slot. I usually made it 1GB, then tested it out. If I liked it (I love Icarus as I need working BT for call audio) then I re-did it with the larger size (3GB).

It should cost $392.94 for tax and shipping from Google. Then you add shipping fees to Mexico onto that. The wait time says 5-6 weeks at the moment.

So I accidentally broke the NFC pin the other day and decided not to solder it back as I might get the device into an even worse state(and I don't use NFC).

The question is, is it safe not to put it back? Do I get any side effects for not putting it back?

Thanks.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
There is 1 obvious side effect. Nfc won't work lol, you might have settings force close or a kernel error as well, with the hardware missing. That's just speculation on my part as i don't know for sure.

That soldering job looks doable, albeit a bit precise. I say try it without abs if you have issues, calm down get you hands steady and attempt the repair with tons of patience.

Btw... Wtf were you doing in the first place to break it off?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] virtualstefan13:
Well, i was repairing the screen lift issue that i was having. Then when i was about to check the screen, something (maybe a string of cloth) tangled and broke it. I know i am clumsy at those times and have learned my lesson..

I am not really using NFC at all( the Philippines is behind when it comes to NFC implementation) so i am considering leaving it that way since i am not having any FC (for now)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Yeah it's still pretty much a gimmick here in the states. I say if isn't causing any issues then it should be ok with out it.

I would still keep it in an anti static bag in a safe place in case of either future issues or desire for Nfc.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] virtualstefan13:
Thanks for the input studacris. I'm keeping my fingrers crossed for this broken NFC thing.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mach3.2:
It's just a connection to the NFC antenna, no other side effects other than NFC not working.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nadreo:
Hi, I just got a Sprint Galaxy Nexus off ebay. It came rooted with team win recovery and a custom rom based on jelly bean 4.1.1. It worked fine. It had goo manager, so I downloaded two different roms to flash before I activated the phone. I wiped the system, factory reset, casce and Dalvik Cache, then flashed the rom. It failed. I hit wipe cache/dalvik, it said successful. Like a dumbass, I rebooted even though it said there was no os installed. Now, neither rom will flash, it will only boot into win recovery and it won't mount to my pc. Is there anyway I can fix this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shaun.fronk@hotmai.com:
Did you do a backup before you flashed? If so, have you tried using the backup? If you did not, maybe the person before you who rooted the phone did a backup.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nadreo:
no, I did not make a backup. I unwisely assumed the person before me did. they did not.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sanyokt4j:
I'm not sure where the guide is but you should search on how to push files to the phone via ADB, once you have the file on your phone I think you should be able to flash a new rom and be back to normal.

Since you now own a nexus, you should learn how to use fastboot and adb. I'd restore every thing to stock by flashing the factory images for your phone. See my post below:

thanks for your help by the way, really appreciate it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
It should say Android ADB Interface under ADB Interface in Device Manager. Mine says Samsung Android ADB Interface. The waiting for device is a driver issue. I've usually had to install drivers for it to recognize the phone in fastboot, even if it is already recognized by adb.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nadreo:
Praise baby jesus and yourself kind sir! I finally got the ****ing thing to work. It was the drivers all along. Had to go into the registry and edit the string for portable devices and fix the port numbers. After that everything worked just fine, Thanks again for your help!

Thank You very much for the provided image razmattaz!

If I may ask... where did You get a later build number than the one provided my Pipo on their website.

We are discussing the Pipo wifi coverage over at slatedroid.

I for one have abysmal coverage only 15 feet and a wooden room door away from my AP.

While my mobile phone is still showing me 6-7 APs in my vicinity, the Pipo U2 won't find more than my own and hardly establish a reliable connection with it.

Do You have the feeling the reception really improved after using Your rom since yesterday?

(Sorry for my english btw...)

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miami_Son:
This. While you may not need it today, there may be a situation when you will. I fly a lot and being able to store lots of music and movies internally was worth the extra $50 for a 32gb model. I also use my N7 to fly my AR Drone and I like being able to record its video direct to the tablet.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jetguy35:
To be honest, for a tablet I would almost always recommend a 32gb or bigger version. First thing is that the 16gb nexus 7 is 199.99. The 32gb is 249.99. But, I have seen deals very often online selling the 32gb for 229.99. So, for 29.99 more, you can double your storage.

My biggest thing is, why not future proof yourself a little. 16gb is fine if you are going to use your tablet for internet browsing and streaming music. But if you want to download lots of new games (legit games like ea) then they will take up large chunks of storage. Also, if you plan to put music and movies, they will also eat up that storage. Especially movies. At least with a 32gb, you don't have to worry about swapping files in and out of the storage. Just my 2 cents.

I bought my 32gb nexus 7 for $229.99 no tax and free shipping from a power seller on ebay. Great shopping experience!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erica_renee:
I have 32 gb version . I did upgrade from 16..And can tell you its awesome.. I have the multi rom recovery with multi booting .. Stock 4.2.1 Ubuntu . Cm 10 and sometimes a 4th rom if im bored..

Still have lots of space and do not have to worry about checking or moving things around to make room

So get the 32 if you can afford it .. but 16 can work..

good luck
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
I agree with the 32gb. 16 would probably suffice right now but this is a nexus device so it will have a long life. Granted I had a few bigger games on my 16gb but I was having to manage those regularly. I didn't even have media stored on the unit, just a few games.

In a year, apps and games are just going to be bigger. Plus the fact you are even on here should tell you to get the bigger version.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EvoYas:
If you are planning on using this for a long time, get 32GB. I gave my 16GB to my sister and got a 32GB, I will always go fir the highest I can get.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saturny:

I think you made the best choice its not to much more and some of the apps are quite big, its always good to have space just incase. I thougth 16 would be enough for me but man I was wrong. But than again when I had mine I only had the option of 16gb
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmagruder:
I have the 16 and it's basically fine unless you put movies or games with giant data files on it. If you can swing it, 32gb is even better. But another option is to get 16 and wait for next year's Nexus tablet rollouts. I thought about upgrading to 32gb but decided at this point it is better to wait and see what Google has for us in May.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blackdragon77:
16 GB Is for my opinion too much little to be used as a true tablet.

It's true that you can expand the storage memory via stickmount, but it isn't so confortable tu be used with games or music or other stuff that you need to be in the tablet.

32 gb is for me the best choice
