[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sagar Khanapurkar:
Hello guys,

As you know the "ORIGINAL USB OTG" can only read pen-drive which are having a file format of FAT32, but is it possible to make it read the pen-drive having NTFS format ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] umair241995:
There are some apps which are for mounting pendrives with ntfs format. ..though I had tried once with a 1TB hdd... But it didn't work. ..

Its mostly coz there was shortage of power....

Theres usb mass storage watcher, stickmount etc (you'll find it in play store)... They say that they can mount ntfs ones...

If you want to mount ntfs formatted sd card...theres ntfs2sd ..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sun90:
U can, as long as the Kerenl supports NTFS, try siyah kernel with stick mount app and see:)

Since i cant seem to make a flashable zip right now im just going to tell how to install it using Fastboot

But if i ever do find a way to make it flashable i will post it here right away

1. Download The ADB and Fastboot Tools: HERE

2. Download The 4.23 Image File: HERE

2a. Rename The File To "4.23.img" so take off a .img

2b. Put The IMG File In Where Your Fastboot Files Are

3. Reboot To Your Bootloader On You Nexus 7 (Power off power button and volume down until you see bootloader screen)

4. Connect Your Nexus 7 To Your Computer

5. Open Up Command Prompt

6. CD to where your fastboot tools were downloaded

maybe: C:\Users\Alex\Downloads\platform-tools

7. Then type:

fastboot devices (to see if its connected correctly)

fastboot flash bootloader 4.23.img

fastboot reboot

8. Then Reboot Back To Your Bootloader And See If It Installed Correctly

FLASHABLE ZIP HERE 4.23 Bootloader- DOWNLOAD DOESNT WORK.....

Dont Forgot To Press Thanks! Enjoy!

IF FASTBOOT DIDNT WORK FOR YOU DOWNLOAD THESE FILES: HERE

THEN FOLLOW THESE INSTUCTIONS: HERE

ok uploaded new one, changed file name, and when it finishes downloading, open up terminal emulator, cd to where your file is located so maybe

cd sdcard

cd goomanager

then type in:

then reboot to recovery wipe cache and dalvik

then flash file 2 or 3 times

then reboot up to system

then reboot back to bootloader and see if that works

Good question. I'll think on it because it didn't work at first but then just worked and I definitely did something that made sense after. I'll go look into it.

FAILED (remote: (InvalidState))

If someone gets the error FAILED (remote: (InvalidState)) when trying to flash 4.23 bootloader, I was getting the same error when I was trying to flash the bootloader from the Google's 4.4.2 factory image package. It looks like that bootloader file in it is corrupted. I didn't check md5sum, but the point is, the bootloader from the factory image for 4.4 worked. So if you are getting the error extract the bootloader from previous 4.4 archive, and not the last one (4.4.2.)

I know I'm bringing this thread back from the dead, but I need help. The adb fastboot tools won't install. It says this file isn't compatible with the version of windows you're running. I'm not PC illiterate. I know what that means. The PC I'm doing this on is a little old and is 32bit. I guess the question I'm asking is does this really require a 64bit OS? That sucks if it does as at the current moment I do not have access to a 64bit PC.

i flash bootloader 4.23 for my N7

its successfully

when i reboot into bootloader then its version 3.34

why ?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] webdroidmt:
Looking at your pic, it shows that the flash has failed. I believe you're using a bootloader image that is known to be a mismatch (bad).

Use the bootloader image from KitKat ktu84p, or you can also use JellyBean jwr66v and you should be good to go. :) If you don't have either of those factory images, download it for your device from here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images and extract the bootloader image 4.23.
