Hey guys, my N7 is arriving to me this Sunday..

I have a question that I'd like to ask..

Is it possible to root the tablet without losing the OTA updates??

Could I boot into a recovery, instead of flashing it, and flash the SU zip from the booted recovery??

Nexus 7 3G - Mobile network connection broken

I found another post on this issue but they just did a factory reset, I really don't want to have to do that if there's a better solution. So it's a Nexus 7 32GB 3G model I bought maybe just over 2 weeks ago, and unlocked (bootloader) and rooted about 1 week ago. It's been working fine until today where it unexpectedly reboot itself and then the signal strength indicator in status bar became just an outline, not blue or grey (ie, not connected to the network). Going into Settings > More.. > Mobile Networks just crashes the Settings app. I do have the mms.apk and custom framework-res.apk that enables tethering installed, but considering someone else (above) had the same problem without root I don't think it's related.

Added information: I've checked the SIM card in my iPhone and it works there, so I'm still thinking it's the modem gotten dodgy somehow.

Any idea how to go about debugging the cause of the issue? Or any other ideas?

Thanks,

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr_Nacho:
I've had my nexus pretty much since launch and have been rooted since day one. The problem I've been coming across is that my battery drops from 85%-83% and 70-68% and a few more (probably about 3 more "couples") as the duration of the battery goes on.

I ran a variety of roms on 4.1.X such as AOKP, paranoid android, and kaos droid. I also used a few different kernels such as faux and motely.

The battery problem has been happening for a while. I just flashed the latest version of AOKP with the stock kernel(4.2.1 mr1 build 2) and thought the battery problem might go away. It didn't.

And when the battery drops, I wouldn't say the battery percent stalls on the percentage before it drops. Meaning it's just a normal drop, if that makes since. lol.

This problem has proven to be annoying and I lose probably about 10% each battery cycle. Is there anything I can do?

I updated the SDK, ADB, and the drivers but my N7 doesn't show up under ADB. Windows says only 2 of the 3 drivers are installed the last one it couldn't / didn't have anything to install. Now what? I thought it was supported out of the box? Yes, I have android Debug on too.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poondog:
Nightly= probably has problems. I would have a look in the "official" CM thread and see if there are any reported issues (use search)

There is no 4G version (I think?)

Google is your friend

https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#nakasig

Make sure you are using the stock charger, and go through a few battery cycles on the stock rom/kernel. If its still a problem, either its a glitch in the system (admittedly I don't have it) or a hardware issue. My phone kind of does this on certain roms so try stock.

Uninstall them all, then use a toolkit to re install; easiest way :D

My Nexus 7 is rooted. I'm not sure if my problem started afterwards or before, but when I power down, it takes me holding the power button upwards of 20 seconds to get it to power back on.

Any ideas or suggestions?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poondog:
Hi, if you don't know what you're doing with roms and kernels, I don't think you could be messing with them. It's easy to screw up your device if you don't know what you're doing.

Thus is what I do:

- turn off autobrightness and keep brightness low

- keep autosync down

- uninstall apps you don't use often

Obviously your battery life depends on usage. A processor intensive task like playing a high graphics game will take a lot of battery compared to reading an ebook.

Once you've learnt what a Rom and Kernel are, you can start playing around with them, clock speeds, governors etc. I just don't want you to wreck your device, so learn more first :)

Awesome :) If its a cm issue no one has reported you might wanna report it to their bug tracker

Custom Rom or kernel? I have this problem sometimes on a certain Kernel

Another thing.. Some roms allow widgets in nav bar. This is essential for me, because I can have widgetsoid in the navbar with all the toggles. Really useful with fullscreen apps.

Rooted Nexus 7 Problems

Hi, HELP PLEASE !!! I am all of one week into learning about the rooting process. I started with the Nexus 7, followed a couple YouTube videos on rooting and gave it a shot. Also followed with doing the same on my Nexus 4.

I found the WugFresh tool kit, unlocked and rooted with no problems. I then learned a little about flashing custom roms. I proceded, again with the help of YouTube to install Paranoid Android. So with just a few clicks ( I know this is not the perfered method of people with advanced programing degrees ) and finding and moving files I was able to complete the process on both phone and tablet.

Yesterday I heard they were releasing 4.2.2, I also had heard I may not receive the OTA update because I was rooted. I found a link to download and install the update onto my internal storage, ( I believe) . Well it did not work and I got a few error messages. I was not able to boot into recovery and it went into a boot loop with the words ANDROID as the logo. I have never seen this before.

Well I found another video on how to do a hard reset back to factory specs which I did. So I now have a tablet that boots up with the strange ANDROID logo but everything is gone. All the Google apps including Play Store are gone!

All I have are Browser, Calculator,Calandar,Clock,Downloads,Email,Gallery,Movie Studio, Music, People,Search, and Settings.

About tablet says Model number, Full Android on Grouper

Version 4.1.1 ( I had 4.2.1 ) ??????

When I try to boot into recovery I get the robot on his back with the red triangle error icon.

Is there help for me? Sould I retire from rooting? I am real nervous about screwing up the phone now. No update and I dare not try. When booting up the padlock is unlocked but am I still rooted? I am thinking of starting the process all over from the start.

Thanks Dominick
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolloser:
It sounds to me like you installed the stock 4.1.1 instead of 4.2.2 which would have not gone well, thus the bootloop. Your bootloader is still unlocked so no worries there. I would suggest you use the toolkit to install a custom recovery ( CWM) and root the rom you currently have. Then install this http://android.clients.google.com/p....signed-nakasi-JDQ39-from-JOP40D.6ece895e.zip through CWM. CWM will tell you that the update will try to install a different recovery and break root...pretty self-explanatory to not let it.

This is the zip I used to upgrade mine, it is for the Wifi version so if you have a 3G Nexus 7 you shouldn't use it. Good luck!

N7 Boot Loop with no adb drivers installed

Ok, so all of a sudden my N7 started boot looping yesterday (I believe it was 4.2.1). After various attempts to get it to boot, nothing seemed to work. When I get it into the Fastboot mode (Power, Vol+, Vol-) and choose Recovery Mode it says "no command" and starts boot looping again.

So I looked for ways to reset it back to factory defaults and came upon some great tools. However, in order to use the Nexus 7 Toolkit or Nexus Root Toolkit, it assumes you have the device drivers installed on your PC. Well I didn't have it installed before this issue, and during any driver install, it asks to put device in debug mode and connect to PC. I cannot put the N7 in debug when it is soft bricked and when I connect it to the PC in any mode (boot looping or fastboot mode) it is never recognized.

So what are my options? How can I get the device drivers installed and recognized from this point? I am stumbled and could not find this exact situation as most others already had the drivers installed with the device recognized. Android SDK is already installed, and adb devices returns nothing. Any help would be appreciated.
