Hey guys. Just got my Nexus 16gb last night. Now I come from the Sprint GSIII section. This is my first tablet ever. So ill get straight to the point. I've tried both tool kits here on XDA and even manually to install the drivers on my Win8 machine. For the life of me they jsut simply won't install, which in turn. I can't root my Nexus. I've done every step (that I can at least think of). Even if I head into Device Manager, right click then select "update drivers", and manually select the folder that has the derives. My PC just simply won't install them. I've been at this since yesterday morning. So I figured it was time to ask for help lol. Thanks ks guys. Any suggestions would be awesome

install the sdk and platform tools and try manually rooting it? i used this guide (granted on linux) but the commands are still the same on windows. you might just need to install a driver for it. which i'm not sure how to do since i didn't have to do it. you have maybe 10gb and an hour to dedicate to installing ubuntu or something? it's always useful to have a bash shell handy especially for android stuff

Hi all,

I have an asus nexus 7 3g tab and want to install MultiROM. So i need to update bootloader at least to v4.13.

Can i use this one for my 3g pad?

I am a newbie and this is a new question but unless I am mistaken, it should still go within this special help thread. If I'm posting in the wrong place, please forgive me.

My device is a rooted Nexus 7 tablet running stock android 4.2.2.

I've made nandroid backups and also have TitaniumBackup pro installed which has made its own app and data backups. Now I wish to copy all this to my Windows 7 PC for safe-keeping.

I realize the nexus 7 does not have a real sdcard but it simulates one in its memory.

I connected the nexus to the laptop via usb cord and copied the contents of what nexus considers the sdcard to a folder on my pc. Got everything copied except for the TitaniumBackup folder on the nexus. Whenever i try to copy this folder (which contains about 1 G of files) I get a error message (see attachment). The second image shows some of the .folders on the nexus including the problem TitaniumBackup folder.

Is there something special about android folders that prevents me for copying them or is it the size of the folder that prevents the copyin? How else to copy this folder to my PC?

All I am trying to do is to have a separate backup on my PC should the nexus be stolen or lost.

Thank you.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clickboombang:
I don't know what the problem is either but I faced it too when I backed up my N7. The solution is quite simple: Use the Nexus Root Toolkitt. Under Advanced utilities there is a option "Pull files/folder" do this and insert "/storage/sdcard0/" or just the folder you want to copy. For my 10GB of data it took the toolkit 4 hours but it worked.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anderson2:
Thank you for replying.

Glad it's not just me. I will follow your suggestion but I sure would like to understand what the problem is. My pc has 8G of ram so I don't think it is a memory problem. That is why I wondered if there was something different about files in android.

Defective or Not?

I need help determining if my Nexus 7 is defective. I received a refurbished 8GB yesterday. After setting up my Google account and updating to 4.2.2, I used it for a while. Everything worked fine, with the occasional delay in the screen turning on from the power button. This was not frequent, so I chalked it up to normal lag. The entire time I was using it, I was using auto brightness. When I plugged in to charge and the screen immediately went off. The only way to wake it was to hold the power button for 30 seconds, most of the time resulting in a reboot. With the auto brightness setting enabled, the screen would constantly shut off while using the device since plugging it into the charger for the first time. The device could not be used on auto brightness and plugged in.

I did a factory reset and was able to use it for a while with the auto brightness enabled, but it was flaky. I finally turned off auto brightness on a hunch and it works fine. I just have not been able to use auto brightness.

Is my device defective or is this related to the auto brightness/screen flicker bug I have seen?

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poondog:
Try this

Using manual brightness, slide the slider all the way to the left to make it as dull as possible. Does the screen turn off? Keep your finger on the slider though so you can turn it back up :)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PearlMikeJam:
I will try this when I get home tonight. What will this tell me? If the screen turns off, it is it a calibration issue? It almost seems as though charging the device borked the light sensor.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poondog:
My first nexus 7 had a dud screen, every time it went below 10% brightness the backlight would switch off so I couldn't see the screen. Hardware issue as far as I know, I'm thinking that maybe this is ypoiur issue

The screen and everything is on, just the backlight is not so you can't see anything
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PearlMikeJam:
I bet that is it. At times when I am reading, the screen shuts off instead of first dimming and then eventually turning off. The strange part about charging is that as soon as the tablet is plugged in, the screen shuts off when on auto bright.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KingPrincess:
wait delete this
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PearlMikeJam:
You were right. Sliding the brightness to the lowest turned off the screen. I guess it is going back. Thanks for the help.

I am fimiliar with the backup process for SGS2 with CWM, but I just rooted my N7 and just starting to learn this beast. I flashed a few roms, using TWRP, I made a few nandroids. Before I go any further I would like to know, when I restore a nandroid on the N7, do I need to be on the kernel, or the rom I made the nan with, prior to restoring it? I have googled it,and searched this forum, but havent found an answer. Any help is much appreciated, Thank you

The nandroid restores system, boot, and data (unless you are using twrp and chose not to backup one of the above), so there's no need to do anything before restoring (besides possibly backing up your current setup).

Thank you both. I only restored after your response. Im using TWRP on my N7, and I restored the Nandroid sucessfully.

Hi guys,

Sorry to show up and be a di_k on the first day by asking a question without reading through the whole thread to see if it has been addressed. I have limited time atm or would be more thorough. :-/

My girlfriend has "the slow charge issue" that has appeared on many Nexus 7's after the 4.2.2 update.

I'm an SGT7 and Herc owner with a decent amount of Android knowledge but no background with this specific tablet.

Can I just get a yes/no on whether answers to the slow charge issue exist somewhere here on XDA (maybe even this thread)? A link would be super cool of you, but even just that simple yes/no would help me know if it is worth budgeting some more time this weekend to dig through posts.

Because the unit charged and performed stupendously prior to update, it seems likely a software issue. As such, I'm guessing some N7 fan has patched by now in some way?

Any help or pointers are greatly appreciated. I *promise* that in my native device forums I do my own searching and researching and don't ask for knowledge on a platter. Just in a time bind tonight, fellas. :)

Please help guys. I am stuck in a double trouble situation. I have wifi only nexus 7 running 4.2.2. I had a factory reset. Now my device hangs on welcome screen by saying setup has stopped.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] #define:
Which rom are you using currently?? Stock?? And since you've mentioned custom roms, i'm assuming u have an unlocked bootloader and a recovery..

If you're on stock, i suggest you try one of the custom roms, like cm or pa or something..

If you get verfication errors on all roms, try turning zip verification off in the recovery.. Digging thru the different menus in the recovery will help..

If you're already using a custom rom, i suggest a clean reflash of the rom, with gapps(preferably latest)...

This should hopefully sort it out..

Hi guys, I made a whoops.

I was moving from AOKP to SmoothROM 5.1, made all the necessary preps (except moving the actual ROM onto my N7), loaded into TWRP, wiped the whole kitchen, aaannndddd......now I'm stuck.

On my other devices this would be no issue - I'd simply mount USB storage from within recovery and move the files over from within the Windows environment. However, in TWRP, it is allowing me no such functionality.

I can access TWRP and Fastboot as of right now. I'm certain there is an easy fix to this I'm just missing.

Ok, I am coming back a humbled man. I haven't used ADB in forever and am on a new W8 machine, so I started from scratch.

I downloaded the ADT from Google, copied the 'platform-tools' to the root of my C:\, booted the N7 into recovery, opened a CMD prompt from within the new C:\Android_ADB folder, and typed "adb devices". It listed nothing...

So I went to Device Manager to check and this is what I'm seeing (attached).

I unlocked/rooted/etc this N7 using Wug's Nexus Toolkit on this W8 machine, so drivers should be installed, but my brain is just not functioning at peak right now and I'm stuck here, scratching my head.

EDIT: CMD "adb devices" picks up my phone and GTab just fine. It's just the N7 that won't pick up.

Also, for the record, I made a Nandroid. I have four Nandroids for the N7 sitting on my PC. I was talking on the phone to my GF in Malaysia while doing this and was just sloppy. I, for some reason, moved the Nandroid to my PC instead of copying it, and then forgot to copy the ROM over. Leaving me in the position I'm in now. I also don't mind reading an encyclopedia to fix my mistake. I just need a basic nudge in the right direction.

Thanks.

Hmmm.. Does the toolkit detect N7 at all??

I havent used it, so I dnt know whether it detects the device when it is in recovery or not...

Also, if right now, all you care about is getting a rom back on it, i suggest you use fastboot to flash a stock rom image(the toolkit can do this for you as well)... And then you can copy your nandroids and everything on the tab again..

Ps : just to have covered all the bases, have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the n7 drivers again?? That worked for a bunch of people who were having the adb issue...

If you get into trouble with your device and need to put it in fastboot or something, you will need to know how. What I am saying is that it is a good practice to know your way around fastboot and adb.

What if, you have no ROM on your sdcard and you accidentally wipe your system? You will have to get your ROM onto your device with adb if you can't take your sdcard out.

I am not having a go at anyone but I find it slightly disrespectful that you attack me based on advice that could save you one day
