If you did Soft-Brick your new Nexus 7 2013 and you cannot access your Nexus 7 from your computer or a Factory Reset does not help please follow this guide. :crying:

(This is way different than the 0 Internal Storage bug. Go here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2380913 )

Step 1: Download and install Wugs toolkit from here: http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/

Step 2: Let it download the files it needs and choose what device your have EXACTLY what you have.

Step 3: Install the universal drivers by finding the Initial Setup part which is the big bar at the top. Go to the Step 2 tab and install the Universal Drivers and then let that install. It installs ADB so you can access ADB even in recovery if you could not before.

Step 4: Launch the Advanced Utilities in the bottom left and you will need a new ROM. Go here to get one: http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2411

gApps: http://goo.im/gapps

Step 5: Once you have those two things go to Flash Zips at the top right and tell it that the file is on the computer. Go to add files and add the ROM then GAPPS and enable to the left that it is a ROM but disable the nandroid backup because you really don't need it at the moment. Also have Wipe Dalvik, Cache, and Data on at the bottom.

Step 6: Confirm it and let it flash. Done! It will take about 5 minutes. Go eat or do something while waiting. It might take less but if you want to be on the safe side just let it run until your device powers on. :victory: :cool:

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT YOU DO WRONG.

If you have any questions or comments please leave some.:good:
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] khaytsus:
So, use a toolkit to install a ROM. How is this some magical fix?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] WeRSpecialPeople:
I never meant for it to be a "magical" fix. It is just a fix for a soft-bricked Nexus which had a rogue ROM and a Factory Reset would not fix nor was ADB working. Maybe someone has this happen and if you have a Backup from lets say Titanium Backup you kind of don't want to Format Data. So if you could just appreciate if I made a tutorial for the less fortunate in Android I am sorry. Skip the thread next time please ;)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] bananagranola:
You say here to wipe data.

And here not to format data. Though wipe and format are not the same, the end result to the user is still that the data is gone. So I'm not sure whether you mean for the data gone or not.

1. Usually, the better option is to find the most similar ROM to the one that the data partition was populated with, so there will be a smaller likelihood of problems. For example, an older working nightly of the same ROM. Dirty flashing a random ROM is less likely to be problem-free.

2. Out of curiosity, why a toolkit, especially when flashing a ROM zip from recovery (not even ADB or fastboot) would work just as well?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] WeRSpecialPeople:
Alright Formatting Data wipes the whole device usually. Wiping the data gets rid of the users apps. Lets say you have a backup in storage/emulated/legacy. It will still be there after you wipe the data.

1. Yes but that is the users choice. I couldn't find a definite stock ROM to the device so I will just let them pick.

2. If you want me too I could make a tutorial using ADB if you really want me too. This was just a 5 minute tutorial on a toolkit and I understand that most people here do not like toolkits but it is a really easy way. Just tell me if you do want me to add ADB tutorial as well and I will. :silly:
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] bananagranola:
I don't think formatting data wipes the whole device...just the data partition. Same as wiping data. The kernel and ROM in the boot and system partitions respectively stay. Wiping data wipes all user data as well, not just apps. In either case, I don't think sdcard gets wiped.

Since I won't be using it, I personally don't mind what you do with the toolkit, but users need to be aware that it's not the most problem-free method.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] khaytsus:
Sdcard is on /data so if you wipe data (including factory reset) the sdcard is 'formatted'.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] bananagranola:
Does it now...how odd. Has it always worked like that on every device? On my Galaxy Nexus, TWRP specifically ignores the sdcard mount point.

EDIT: okay, I think I understand the confusion. I meant that wiping data/factory resetting from recovery doesn't wipe sdcard. I know that doing so from Android does.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jac16101971:
All is said.

People who have this phone watch know that it's wifi is weak and don't have ad hoc mode.

Another thing its bluetooth profile is poor it have only DUN server profile for sharinf it 2G/internet access with other device.

Like this way:

(Z1 phone watch 2G/EDGE/GPRS/internet server)====(Bluetooth DUN)=====> (device with bluetooh DUN client profile).

No 3rd programme or root (min is rooted) are working beacause in the phonewatch the device RFCOMM (for DUN client) or Bnep (for PAN client) seems not existing.

So if there is someone more clever than me for developing .apk pakage for implement the DUN and PAN cleint profile it would lbe nice

because old phone with DUN or PAN can give internet access to the watch. For me it is my old N900.

(N900 3G/intenet via bluetooth sever blue tooth PAN/DUN)=====(Bluetooth PAN/DUN)====> (Z1 bluetooth PAN/DUN client)

Hi everyone,

I've got a big question for you : How can I backup apps data from one tablet (old Nexus 7) and restore it to the new one ?

Actually I have some datas of application that I want to transfer on my new tablet.

I tried with Helium but with no success.

I don't want to root my tablet.

Can you help me please ?

Thank you.

The best way is to Root tablet, do backup or restore then unroot.

The best app for backup and restore is Titanium Backup.

If you want to only restore apps then you dont need to root a tablet but if you want to restore apps + data os those apps

Hi, I have been watching with keen interest the development of the Universal. I had the original XDA and the XDA2 but have been waiting for this 3G device before I upgrade.

I have one on back order, but not with Expansys. I have been watching Expansys wondering if I should get one through them instead of waiting however when I phoned them for some technical info about 3G networks the sales individual did not know anything about the "UK networks"!!!

So, does anyone know if you can take an unlocked, uncofigured, JasJar (such as those being sold on Expansys) and just configure the settings for 3G, or is it far more complicated than that.

I am sure I read somewhere that 3G settings need to be configured by the network, unlike GPRS which I have easily configured for my voda sim card in my xdas.

Well if it can be configured, anyone know the settings for the JasJar to use vodafone 3G ??

Cheers, Numb
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sgordon:
jasjar on vodafone

just got my jasjar today, put in my normal sim which was purchased already on the normal 2g network and it not only came up ok but came up on vodafones 3g network with no problems what so ever.

talking to vodafone they also told me that for instance my 3g sim from my datacard which is not even on a voice contract would work though of course as i have no free minutes i would get charged at normal network rates for voice calls.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Numb:
re

n1, thats good to hear. But did u have to configure any settings for 3G ? or was the phone already configured, and if it was already configured it who by, Expansys ?

If they are unlocked presumably you have to configure it to your chosen network ?

Thx fer the reply tho, can't wait to get mine now, you lucky devil.

Cheers, Numb
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] lutzh:
to make a long stiry short: settings for gprs and umts/3g are the same, no need to change anything, if you have your vodafone gprs set you are ready to use 3g as well.

Hey guys!

I have a Transcend StoreJet 500gb external HDD that I want to connect to my Nexus 7 (2012). Flash based usb sticks work fine, but this hard disk with the actual spinning platter doesn't. I found out that you need to "power the hard drive with a usb hub".

I don't have a usb hub, so I thought of this. Since my External HDD has a usb cable with two usb connectors, can I plug one of them into the Nexus 7 battery charger and the other one into my nexus 7 with a OTG cable?

Can I power it properly like that?

Or is it dangerous?

If I only connect it to my nexus 7 it makes beeping sounds and doesn't get detected. Not much power output on the Nexus 7....

Please help!

Thanks in advance.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Groid:
Yes you can do that, it is not dangerous. I power my external WD Passport HD by plugging one usb connector into the pc for power and the other into the OTG usb cable. My drive won't spin unless supplied with the additional power. I have also tried it by plugging the connector into an a/c adapter instead of the pc usb port, which also worked fine.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kusie:
Hi all,

I have a similar problem with my N7 attaching a small USB powered HDD to watch HD movies stored on that drive. Thing is, when I attach the HDD on my USB OTG cable, all i hear is a repeated "clack..clack" and nothing happens, the HDD doesn´t start. So the other day I got my Nexus 5 and for fun I tried to use the SAME HDD with the same cable and same adapter on the N5 and it worked flawlessly! Starts up, Stickount mounts it and boom!

Now how can it be that one device can work with the HDD and one not? I´mm guessing it may be related to AC voltage levels, but shouldn´t the Nexus 7 be able to deliver the same or even more power to the HDD than the Nexus 5?I don´t get it....

Thanks,

[Android Apps and Games] mochat9:
Hi all, I have developed a breakthrough in Android apps.

One day when I was jogging, a little girl that looked scared and confused approached me. She couldn't find her mother and she asked if she could use my phone to call her. I thought to myself 'Sure, I'm helpful.' When I was waiting for her to finish her phone call, I noticed that she was swiping her finger on the screen. I was thinking to myself, 'Why does she need to scroll during a phone call?' I took my phone back and lo and behold, she was going through my pictures. I reprimanded her, telling her that she shouldn't be going through other's phones like that. I felt real bad that I had to take my phone back before she could find her mother, but what else was I supposed to do? It's not like there's an app that can do that.

From that moment, Avanos was born.

It's a guest mode app that can act as a stealth mode when you need it to. When you use it, it locks the user into the app so that your other apps cannot be accessed, your recent apps cannot be seen, and the notification bar is hidden. It's helpful for a lot of things, such as when your girlfriend wants to go through your phone to read your messages. Just open Avanos and everything is hidden. It was designed to be a guest mode so that when others use your phone in an emergency nothing can be accessed. When they end their call it opens a password dialog. Enter your password and your phone goes back to normal. It's helpful when you're a coach, a parent or just a helpful person. Here's the free version of it: bit(.)ly/17NVKpz. Tell me what you think of it and send me a message if you're interested in getting a demo version of it.

Guest Mode in All Phones

Hi,

I have used your app and I must say that it works like a normal app locker. You can simply select an app that you want to lock and it remains locked till a password is entered. There are a lot of apps in Google Play that do exactly that.

However, the challenge that I faced with app lockers (similar to yours) is that when I want to use a locked app (such as WhatsApp), there are two steps of authentication that are involved. First, I need to unlock the home screen of my phone (all of us lock our home screens for any unintended usage), then I need to input the password again to unlock an app. This becomes quite a tedious process for any user.

Therefore, we have developed an app that is a combination of screen lock as well as an app lock. The procedure is that, once you install the app, you get to select all the apps that you want to mark as private and locked. The application then asks you to set a master password (which can be either a PIN based or Pattern based password). The application then asks you to set a guest password as well.

Once you lock your phone (or it gets automatically locked on screen off), the application is active. When you want to unlock the phone and use your master password to unlock, the screen gets unlocked along with all the locked apps that you had selected. Therefore, when you unlock the phone screen, you do not have to enter the password again to use the protected app. However, when you lend the phone to someone, just use the guest password to unlock the screen and the screen gets unlocked. However, all the selected apps continue to be locked. Thus protecting your privacy!

We have a patent pending on this feature and shall be adding more features to the app. You can download it from Google Play (just search for 'Guest Mode' and our app is the second one - developed by Pluggdd India). We would love to hear your feedback on this.
[Android Apps and Games] alamtabrez:
Guest Mode for All Android Phones (App)

Even I was waiting very eagerly for this version of Android and the Guest Mode feature. There are a lot of times when my kid uses the phone or some one borrows the phone to make a call. With the battery life of smartphones being so small these days, people borrowing phones is common.

However, I was always worried what all they may see on my phone once I loan it to them. The same was when my kid was using the phone. Once he clicked a picture of mine and sent to a random whatsapp group.

However, I must say that the new Guest Mode feature does not meet my expectations. There are a few reasons why:

1) The switch from Normal Mode to Guest Mode is not seamless. You need to get to Settings (which is a two step procedure), then go to 'Users' and from there switch on the Guest Mode. This easily takes a few seconds.

2) The switching of user takes more than 2-3 seconds.

3) Anyone can easily find that they are in Guest Mode (because the phone is completely empty, no history of calls, no phone numbers, virtually nothing). As a result of which apart from a kid, anyone can tell that you have switched modes of the phone. With the kind of friends and colleagues that I have, that would raise more suspicion and leg pulling than giving them the phone in full access.

I was always looking forward to this solution. However, I think I will continue to use the app that I have been using. The app locks all my applications that I deem need to be protected. It gives me two passwords to unlock the screen. When I open the lock screen with a master password, the screen gets unlocked as well as all the locked applications get unlocked too. When I lend my phone to someone, I open the screen using a guest password and only the screen and unprotected apps get unlocked. All the protected apps, such as my emails, chats, facebook; continue to be locked. This is so much of a relief, as the no one comes to know that they do not have full access to the phone. What I have read on their page is that they are also coming up with a fake crash in Guest Mode, that would be lovely.

In case you are interested, you can get the app for free from Google Play (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pluggdd.SmartAppLocker).

I feel like a bit of a wally as I have spent about 6 hours trying to unlock the boot-loader, unlock the networks and root my X8.

I should have just checked a company I used before called 'Fast GSM' to see how much it cost for the unlock from them.

Well to unlock the boot-loader (that flash-tool says wasn't possible) and the networks and to root it cost me a mere £6.60 or $9.99!

As long as you can manage to double click the 'X Unlock Tool' setup icon that you download then the jobs done!

Just to point out I am in no way connected to that company, just impressed with how easy it was. I include the log-file generated by the X Unlock Tool software for your reference. Hope this save someone else all the time I wasted!
