I bought a refurbished Nexus 7 and it came already rooted. I started it and it tried to fetch some update but as soon as it reboots to load it says:

E: failed to verify whole-file signature

E: signature verification failed

Installation aborted.

I'm using CWM v5.8.0.2 and I've tried manually installing the 4.2.1 but it also aborts the install after saying status 7 error in SD card.

What can I do?

Thanks.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
You can't do the OTA because you have CWM...

What file are you trying to manually install? If you are referring to the factory image provided by Google, you need to flash that in fastboot. There is a sticky for flashing stock images.

Any particular reason you don't want to flash gapps?

You could always flash gapps and just remove those apps which you don't want. I know it's not ideal but it's a workaround.

The best thing to do is simply try some for yourself.

I say this because we all have different favourites and we all have different usage.

For example, I'm on stock 4.2.1 with M-Kernel and I get around 9 hours usage. I'm normally constantly floating around XDA during all that time and playing games like Vice City, Most Wanted, Shadow gun, Modern Combat etc. for about 5 hours, so that battery life is pretty good.

4.2 update - Bricked my N7?

I did not root my N7, and now wishing I did. I have experience rooting other android devices. ?Bricked?

After the update to 4.2, the tablet has been restarting randomly. Last night, I have a new error, "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped" is in front of the lock screen, and stopping me from unlocking the phone. It keeps restarting every few minutes.

I tried going into the recovery menu, but when I choose the recovery, it says "unknown command"

I called Asus, and they said I need to send it in for repair.

does anyone have any advice for me to do so I don't have to send it in?

This is one of the first units available, I purchased it the date it was released at an Office Max.

Just unlocked and rooted Nexus 7.

I have two accounts on my Nexus 7. What I have found is the bootloader remains unlocked across multiple users however the first account is rooted but when adding a second account it is not.

So you cannot install ANY recovery. So also not TWRP? :D And If I want to keep doing OTA updates, I can do anything except installing a recovery?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
I would unlock the bootloader and flash a custom recovery, and once in recovery you can do one of two things. You could simply do a factory reset, or you could use ADB to remove the password lock; allowing you to simply bypass the password lock.

Why are you afraid? It seems to be your only option if you want to fix it. Although returning would probably be the best idea even though you are opposed to it.

Just found this. As of now, it seems that only the main user gets root access until the app is updated to properly handle it.

You can't use ANY custom recovery for OTAs, but that doesn't mean you can't/shouldn't install a custom recovery. You could always flash back to the stock recovery before doing the OTA. Or you could download the update manually and flash it through fastboot, which is what I will probably end up doing.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poondog:
Your ROM is rooted already. It doesn't matter what you do, root and boot loader will be the same

Iirc you can't have root permissions on the second account. See the latest supersu app

Lol no idea

Once you do any of that you'll lose ota updates. Basically most things that include flashing will make ota not work

I'm relatively new to rooting devices and what not. I just rooted my N7 32gb and it worked just fine. I was just trying to try out some different roms and I was loading my GAPPS file into my tab. I loaded the first file from CWM and then before reboot i saw i had two sets of GAPPS on the tab and and the 2nd was more "up to date". so i loaded the second before the reboot and now everything has failed on me. gapps will not load, setup wizard isnt working and I cant get into any of my tab settings to select allow debugging so I can connect ADB and restore the system. I attempted to reload the first GAPPS again and still I get the same warning message. someone please help!!

I seem to be having a charging problem. I don't want to start a new thread or anything stupid just yet since I don't know if it's a known issue or not.

My Nexus 7 went to about 7% battery yesterday and ever since it hasn't been able to charge well. It is charging, just very slowly. The screen flashes from time to time so I thought it was the charging cable being lose but it's not. I plug it into my PC and it lets me load things onto it just fine. Whether my device is on or off it just charges weirdly.

Is this a known issue? The device has got back up to 56% charge as of 1 hour ago. I turned it off since and it's charging still. The screen flashed once (And again right this very second!!) with the battery logo coming up then the screen going black.

Is there anything I can do? Thanks. I'm unrooted and completely stock.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poondog:
Yeah thats a problem of the old bootloader iirc. You need to be connected to a computer in order to boot it through there for some reason

Stock AC adapter and cable too? You could download betterbatterystats to see if there's a problem with an app, or use the android battery info screen to see whats using your battery. A rogue app kept my device awake the other day and it drained from 50% to 2% while I was out.

n7 stuck on screen after installing a rom

Okay guys, I bought this nexus already rooted and it has superuser on it. I really don't know much about rooting but after doing some research I learned that installing a new Rom can customize how my UI looks and that's what I attempted to do using Rom manager. I went on download new Rom and selected the google one and installed it. So after it rebooted I didn't see much change so I went to a different selection this time (don't exactly remember the name) and I installed it.

Bluetooth Headset Profile and the Nexus 7

Since this is my first post Hello and thank you for the vast resources of this wonderful site and all it's talented members.:good:

I purchased the Nexus 7 3G to install as the radio in my vehicle. I stream all media from the tablet via Bluetooth to my factory head unit however I have two main issues to solve before this becomes a feasible replacement.

1) I can not set the microphone on the Bluetooth unit to work with the tablet. The tablet ends up using the built in mic and since that is located behind the dash it doesn't work so well. :( I have been researching on Google and XDA for months trying to find a solution and from what I have read this is my current assumption: Tablets in the USA are not built with phone functionality on purpose to deter people from buying a tablet and using it as their primary phone. So, seems no big deal just learn how to hack to enable phone functions and that would activate the proper Bluetooth headset profiles to work with the external mic on a Bluetooth unit. So after a ton of research I have successfully unlocked, rooted and installed TWRP as well as edited the bool.xml in framework-res.apk to make the Nexus 7 voice capable. But still I have no external Bluetooth mic support. Is this a problem with android in general? or jelly bean in general? or all tablets? At this point I have exhausted all that I can do on my own without asking for help. Does anyone know how to use an external Bluetooth mic on the Nexus 7 3g 4.2.1?

2) My second problem is the tablet will not consistently reconnect with the Bluetooth head unit every time the vehicle starts. Sometimes it connects properly with phone and media profiles sometimes just one of the two and sometimes none at all. I have used the Tasker app as well as the Bluetooth auto connect plugin but it still is very flaky at best.I have never owned an android device before this tablet, always apple stuff that to be honest just worked right out of the box. But I love the customization available on android especially for a in car install. So again is this an android issue, Nexus issue, or a tablet issue? It seems from the research I have done that most android phones will auto connect but these tablets seem to be missing certain Bluetooth settings or profiles that cause them not to work. So any ideas on how to solve this issue?

At this point if I can not resolve these two issues I am going to return the Nexus 7 3G and get a Samsung galaxy tab 2 7.0 3G P3100 as from what I can tell this tablet is a fully functioning phone right out of the box so hopefully would solve my two issues above. But since this Nexus has MUCH better specs and is cheaper I am hoping to find an answer to my Bluetooth problems.

Thank You everyone for your help!!

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
