[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] shane1:
Haven't used ROM manager in a long time but there should be a ROM manager folder downloads should be there. Also fastboot either cwm or twrp and you can make a back up.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] C5Longhorn:
Thanks Shane. I will check for the files. I basically flashed Kitkat and now just want to make a Nandroid backup. I assume since the device is unlocked that means I'm rooted.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] shane1:
In order to root you have to flash supersu in recovery.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] C5Longhorn:
Thanks, I now think I may not be rooted but rather just unlocked which was required to flash Kirkpatrick from a command line.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] shane1:
After you flash a recovery, http://download.chainfire.eu/365/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.69.zip flash that in recovery and you'll be rooted.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] C5Longhorn:
Thanks, it makes sense now. All I did really was unlock, and flash in the bootloader and then the 4.4 image file. So, I'm not rooted, but just unlocked.

Is it necessary to root the device to take a Nandroid backup?

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] shane1:
I just read your new to android make sure you read directions of anything you plan on flashing. Also its good to read entire threads if you have any issues cause your probably not the first to have an issue. Enjoy.

Not necessary to root but you do need to flash a recovery IMO tarp is the easiest
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] meekrawb:
No, you do not need to root to make a nandroid.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] C5Longhorn:
It seems like most of the custom recoveries like Clockworkmod recovery and TWRP require you to be rooted.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] meekrawb:
Nope. You need a custom recovery to root. And to make backups. You do not need to be rooted to make backups. That is how it is on the devices I own, anyways.

---------- Post added at 10:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:35 AM ----------

You might want to double check this.

It was my understanding that if you fastboot flashed only PARTS of the LEAKED Pre-Release ATT or T-Mobile ROM you possibly cold flash back to 4.2.2, BUT after taking the OTA Kit Kat update, Verizon users with locked boot loader are not able to flash back to 4.2.2.
[Moto X General] Sinderan:
It's speculated its because the ATT leak is a nonfinal build. It needs to be necessary to flash back in case of build problems
[Moto X General] ClippinWings:
Hoping the AT&T Soak works like VZW.... Release the update to everyone... then send Soak surveys to Soak Testers. LOL
[Moto X General] jayrod88:
Hopefully. Just wondering if I should RSD back to 4.2 to then take the update. I'm on the ATT leak.
[Moto X General] Steve-x:
Based on the build numbers of the official 4.4 that Verizon and Tmobile have received the updated AT&T leak may be the identical version that gets officially released - the build numbers match.
[Moto X General] theraffman:
I'm debating whether I want to go back to 4.2.2 just to take a soak test of, presumably, the same build I'm already running.

I basically run my business from my phone and without titanium backup, the pain of backing up (what can be backed up) and then flashing back then restoring sounds like far too much hassle... But I do want to help moto in vetting the latest build, I can't at this time justify the time and energy of doing so...

[Moto X General] theraffman:
The NDA pertains to the details of the soak test and not to the existence of, additionally, unless I am mistaken, I haven't agreed to an NDA yet. Furthermore, there has been threads for every soak test released and with the exception of the latest Verizon (which someone had linked to the official forums from) they have mostly gone on as scheduled.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Feyerman:
So I got a Nexus 7 refurb off of woot and booted it up with no GAPPS. So I unlocked the bootloader. At some point during my efforts to push a true stock image to my 7 the stock img was delted... yay. I am now fastbooting an image using the Dead_Nexus_7 bak. Problem is it has been pushing system now for over 30 minutes. I wouldnt think it would take that long to push. Can anyone who has pehaps had to do this before confirm that it takes this long or longer?

Of course if you have experience with this and have an easier method I am all ears. I am stuck in bootloader currently.

Thanks!!

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] xdhall:
If you're going to root, it's better to do it as soon as you get your device. Root requires unlocking your bootloader and thus wipes your device.

---------- Post added at 12:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:09 AM ----------

Interesting. There is no root guide for deb (the LTE version of N7 2013). I see the root guide for flo, which bizarrely recommends using autoroot instead of just installing the superuser binaries (why? [MENTION=2608699]philos64[/MENTION] ). I'm tempted to write one for deb myself, despite not having deb on hand (which is generally bad form).

If you want me to write a root guide for deb, thank this post and I'll write it. Alternately, a user with deb on hand and a good understanding of the two required fastboot commands and TWRP could do it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] thejmannnc:
That would be great! Thank you again so much!
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] xdhall:
Spoiler alert. Rooting deb is the same as flo, but I'm itching to create a root guide that doesn't create unnecessary steps or involve a root kit. So yes, I'll do it.

I am trying to create a screen mirroring application where the "server" phone captures an app as it is running and sends that image to the "client" phone via wifi direct. I am trying to use the new ImageReader class in 4.4, but I can't find enough information about it to figure out exactly how to get it to work. My initial idea was to just stream whatever is on the "server" screen once the stream is connected, but it seems like that won't be possible?

[HTC One S] mikenewell:
Unlocked, rooted but still S-On

cid: H3G__001

HBOOT-2.13.000

Hi, first of all i'm new to modding phones so some of the terminology may be going over my head, but I have searched through the forums and tried various solutions suggested in similar threads without luck

I have a HTC one S (S4) on the 3 network in the UK, I successfully went through the steps on the guide to unlock the bootloader and root the phone. I installed TWRP on my phone and transferred the ROM zip file onto the phone, then loaded into TWRP, backed up and tried to flash the ROM. However this didn't work, so I tried another ROM also without success. I read through various threads and they suggested wiping the cache, etc and trying again. I did this and again it didn't work, this is the point I messed up as I ended up wiping everything on the phone including the backup.

At this point I was getting the unable to mount internal SD card error, so I again checked the threads and was able to flash the stock recovery onto the phone, run the factory restore and this did fix the error in that when after I reflashed TWRP or CWM they were able to recognise the mount the internal memory. However I haven't been able to mount it to my PC, nor can I flash roms using ADB commands as it can't find the device. Only fastboot commands seem to work.

I tried using roms off a usb drive and and an otg cable, again without success. I found and tried 2 RUU's for my network also without success. So i'm stuck with a phone which can't be recognised on my computer, can't be recognised through adb in command prompt, can't flash roms and RUU's don't work. The only thing I can do is flash the various recovery versions.

Any help or suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Is there anyway to S-OFF with no operating system and this HBOOT version?

Though would be happy just to get it back to stock.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericdabbs:
I don't have that issue. My Google Play Services only takes up 2% of my battery. But its a known issue that if you have an AT&T phone, chances are you accepted everything when you first setup the phone and opted into CarrierIQ.

For the OP, his screenshots don't see Google Play Services as a battery drainer. I am pretty sure it is CarrierIQ draining his battery especially if he has GPS enabled all the time.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marleyinoc:
Battery usage was included in screenshots.

Carrier IQ uses that much battery? User has to opt in to it?

Guess an FDR is in order to opt out this time. Save you stuff to your PC or cloud first.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericdabbs:
User opts in when they have a pop up window asking if they can collect locations statistics and send it back to Google or whatever for assisting in resolving issues. I don't have AT&T so I don't have the exact popup handy. I just know that Tmobile has an setting in Options to disable CarrierIQ.
