usb debugging

Unfortunately I do not have usb debugging enabled :(

And my tablet is soft bricked

Is there a way around this?

Please any help is appreciated

thanks

Try this from youtube. I have also softbrick my nexus when ota to kitkat. Use this methods and it works. Also before flash the factory image, unlock your bootloader first. I think this method did not required to enable usb debuging.

You don't need usb debugging enabled to flash images via fastboot -- you just need to be able to get into the bootloader screen.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] docians:
unlock bootloader

Thanks for the video

I have followed everything until it (the video) tells me that the process will only work if I unlock my bootloader

Now I can access my bootloader but it states Lock State- Locked

My difficulty is how do I unlock my bootloader as my nexus is stuck at boot loop

I have tried the unlock function on Rootkit, but it says I have to enable usb debugging

To summarise my understanding:

My nexus will get out of bootloop if I flash the ROM

To flash the ROM I have to unlock the bootloader (as per the video)

To unlock the bootloader I have to enable usb debugging (as per nexus root kit)

To enable usb debugging I have to get out of bootloop

To get out of bootloop I have to flash the ROM............

Any simple way of unlocking the bootloader on a soft bricked nexus?

Any help appreciated thanks
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dexviajiboy:
like jfmcbrayer said.. if you can access bootloader, you can flash via fastboot either you enabled or not usb debugging, the important thing fasboot can verify your device before start flashing..

bootloader locked

Absolutely agree

However when I try to follow your instructions

> fastboot devices

# the following output should be returned

<device serial number> fastboot

I do not get a device serial number

I suspect it is because the bootloader is locked, the device will not be recognised

Happy to be proven wrong because I need a means to get my nexus working

adb driver

Indeed! Perhaps because the first step in installing an adb driver in my pc is this:

1. Enable usb debugging on your device (found under Settings > Developer Options)

:o

As I have been saying from the start

My nexus is stuck in boot loop

I do not have usb debugging enabled

Is there anyone who can help me with unlocking my bootloader (on my soft bricked stock nexus) so I can flash rom

just to be absolutely sure were on the same page I've copied all the instructions from your link

Following the thread this is precisely where I get stuck

Driver Installation

This seems to be the most confusing part for many people. Be patient and thoroughly read all the instructions.

Huge thanks to [MENTION=5051515]tetakpatak[/MENTION] for taking the time to put together a video showing this process! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhA5C...yer_detailpage..

1.Enable usb debugging on your device (found under Settings > Developer Options)

NOTE: Since Android 4.2 the Developer Options are hidden by default.

To enable them, go to Settings > About Phone, and tap on build number around seven times. A small dialog will appear letting you know "You are now a developer!"

Will pm you with the same as I need your help in Driver Installation
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tetakpatak:
You're welcome, mate.... :)

Installing drivers is not difficult, you must read the post by comminus carefully.

I tought it is too a boring part to film it....

[MENTION=5645742]docians[/MENTION] take your time to read step by step mate, that guide can help you to unbrick.

Guys, just be aware, that the drivers will have to be instaled two times: once for normal boot mode in OS, another time in fastboot mode.

What might confuse you: the ADB drivers get installed within the SDK and not as usual with downloaded drivers from the website of the manufacturer.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deanomalino:
Did this end up being solved?

In the same situation where my Nexus 7 (2012) 4.4.4 is soft bricked and stuck in a bootloop.

Not sure how to go about installing the drivers. Just lost. :silly:
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tetakpatak:
Yes, solved :)

You will find them in google, search for "google USB drivers for Windows"

Download the zip, unzip it and run the install/setup.exe

After that, boot your N7 into the bootloader mode and connect your tab with the USB cable and wait for 1 minute until it gets installed.

After that you will can execute all fastboot commands. Then just follow the guide by comminus how to flash factory image with fastboot.

Have run into another problem now.

Got to the part "fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-grouper-4.23.img"

And I get a message in cmd saying "FAILED <remote: <Invalid State>>"

Then on the tablet it says "Signiture Mismatch".

I'm using the 4.4.4 (KTU84P) from the Factory Images website if that's any help....

Well that was the bootloader that was in the 4.4.4 download when I unzipped everything. :/

Should I maybe just try and flash a Jelly Bean image onto the tablet then?

Thanks again for your help.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riggerman0421:
The 4.23 bootloader.img was broken when it was released in the factory image and never fixed. Search this forum for that bootloader and you will find one that works and can be flashed from fastboot.

You are welcome :) if you find my posts helpful please feel free to hit the "thanks" button.

Back to your tab: well, it is possible that the KK factory image still uses the same bootloader like JB 4.3

OK, then in such case you might need the jwr66"y" instead of jwr66"v" bootloader version. Did you read the OP by comminus? The guide starts with that warning in red text I think and contains direct download link for the bootloader. I will attach now here a bootloader that should work, but I admit that I haven't tried it myself.

I have flashed factory image 4.3 on Nexus 7 (2012) nakasig few times and found it to be bit faster than KitKat on that device.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deanomalino:
Awesome. That did the trick. Classic case of not reading the instructions properly.

Although I did run into a problem where the "fastboot.exe" would stop working whenever I got to the last stage of flashing. Decided to download another "platform-tools" folder from a quick web search and it ended up working. :)

Basically know the fastboot stuff off by heart because I was doing it so many times. xD

tetakpatak,

I stumbled upon this post while looking for a remedy for my soft-bricked Nexus 7 (2013, Wifi). The recent OTA 6.0.1 bricked my tablet, and now I am stuck at the Google Screen. I did not have USB debugging enable before the device got bricked, and now I cannot get pass the google screen. How did you help Docians get pass this step?

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tetakpatak:
Dear Will,

oh, yes... OTA updates might go wrong sometimes.

all you need is to flash an entire stock image in bootloader mode. It will work regardless of your USB debugging setting. It is only important for Windows users to have connected the tablet at least once with the PC while USB debugging is enabled, just to install the ADB driver.

If Windows fails due to the missing driver, Linux will serve you. It needs no drivers.

Tetakpatak,

I installed google USB driver on my windows laptop. It sees the tablet in Device Manager (without the error exclamation mark), but when I type "adb devices" into a command prompt, it cannot see and devices. How do I proceed from there to erase the corrupted image and reflash a stock one? I did not install the driver with the USB debugging mode enabled on my tablet though.

I am going to try Linux. Do you have a suggestion/instruction to reflash the stock image using Linux? Thank you!

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hungupdown:
Working driver

Hi Will,

I just spent ages sorting the same problem, in my case with Windows7 64bit.

ADB connected when booted normally (into system), but not in recovery.

In one thread it said that the driver only works when it sees the device id(s) it's set for, and that on N7 the id is different when in (TWRP) recovery. That fits with ADB only connecting when the Nexus was booted normally.

The eventual driver that worked for me was Samsung.

Download SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.zip url(which I can't post yet) "developer.samsung.com/technical-doc/view.do?v=T000000117" and run the exe.

Once connected, under device manager should have: Samsung Phone – Android Composite ADB Interface	(Tablet must be in Recovery Mode, not bootloader mode).

To check you have the same driver I'm using, look at properties - driver & driver details:

Provider Google; DriverVersion 11.0.0.0; FileDate 28/08/2014; Signer: Google Inc.

The driver didn't work straight away for me (after running the exe). I'd been trying 5 or 6 others without success. This procedure got the Samsung one to eventually appear:

1) In device manager: Uninstall any other android (ADB) drivers, selecting "Delete the driver software ....."

2) (with tablet connected) do a legacy driver install (the add hardware wizard) found under Device manager – Action It may not appear there, but can still be run by CommandPrompt - hdwwiz.exe

Select "Search for and install ... automatically...." then All devices, confirming installation of any driver it finds.

Repeat these steps until the Samsung driver is found.

To confirm proper connection:

In command prompt type adb devices this should return a long hex id.

If ADB stops working after ROM change.

After trying a couple of modded ROMS, when trying to transfer a third one I found that ADB didn't work anymore. adb devices was returning {hex string} unauthorised (when booted normally) and adb push no longer worked work (booted normally or to TWRP). This changed without ever rebooting Windows, and TWRP was unchanged, though I had switched device to All-f2fs.

Windows devices still showing Samsung Phone – Android Composite ADB Interface, and now also Portable devices - Nexus 7, these both disappear if USB connection unplugged.

Under My Computer - Portable Devices - Nexus 7 had appeared, so allowing drag n drop access for file transfer. So ADB transfer not then needed.

Drag n drop though was a bit iffy, new files not showing up until refresh done, though I wonder if this could be a problem with Windows not having the right f2fs drivers.

The command to unlock the bootloader (for Google Nexus devices) is fastboot oem unlock Confirmation screen should appear on tablet.

Use the volume rocker to scroll and the Power button to highlight yes.

When finished, enter command: fastboot reboot

This should also work on a soft bricked stock nexus.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tetakpatak:
Well, it would be quite normal that there is no ADB connection as you said that the USB debugging was switched off.

But you will need fastboot and bootloader mode. Ser what happens when your tablet is in bootloader mode and there you try command "fastboot devices" in cmd (before that, you must "cd" into the folder where your fastboot.exe is saved)

Look, here is a great guide how to flash with fastboot:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1907796

Just use the proper factory image & file names.

Mind you that the commamd "fastboot oem unlock" will factory reset / erase all your data from the tablet.

So, I read all over the DraStic forums and even on google play that TEGRA 2

processors are not compatible whit the emulator... I can confirm this because

before I used to test both the demo version and the pirated full version from

aptoide on my P990 which has the TEGRA 2.

Both version always showed a black screen and force closed instantly no matter

what, So today after a few months I tested the demo again and... It worked...

The official forums still say that TEGRA 2 is not compatible and yet it works on

my P990, A bit fearful I bought the full version because I like auto updates and it

worked like a charm too!

Maybe it has something to do whit the kernel I'm using or something random...

Anyway, I'm using Tonyp's "The ROM" build 26 and "Kowalsky Kernel" 27 exp

alpha 14 (the 3.0 + one), For anyone who feels like trying his luck!

They added x86 and Tegra2 (+other non-Neon-ARM-CPU) - support a month ago!

Nice Christmas present! The app is technically well coded, the coders Exophase and Lordus are helpful/supportive and they fix bugs fast and implement features nicely/clean and fast.

It also dropped in price and is really worth it!

All those who bought the app can also participate/volunteer in beta-tests.
[LG Optimus 2x] NoDze:
Yeah, I've noticed that some time after posting. I was actually really thrilled because in te last couple of years, our Tegra 2 gets neglected too often, ranging from the fact that Vine and Instagram videos aren't supported, to some trivial facts like Twitter Image Upload.
[LG Optimus 2x] TnA.Plastic:
Being on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (1st-gen), I know exactly what you're talking about. :D

Would be interesting if a processor-instruction-set could be changed a.k.a. "flashed", but I guess there isn't a rewritable flash and probably NEON couldn't simply added with a Kernel - Module, could it?
[LG Optimus 2x] NoDze:
There was once a discussion about this and, as far as I remember, TonyP said that it was somewhat possible, in theory, because some people tried to do that by making Armv6 processors show up and work as armv7 processors, enabling them to use armv7 apps and stuff, basically the same thing we need because NEON isn't supported by our hardware and our only option is to emulate NEON. But, in all seriousness, it's impossible. We can only send requests to the app developers to fix that, as did the guys from the DraStic team do.
[LG Optimus 2x] TnA.Plastic:
So technically NEON-Calls have to be catched on a higher abstraction and then emulated, or executed by other calls, thus technically leading to a lot overhead and inefficiency... But atleast NEON-Only-Apps could be executed then... Would be interesting thought...

Really need some help here. Here's the scenario

I have 1 exchange 2003 SP2 server. No Frontend Server just 1 node. Currently i have SSL enabled and i can use OWA and OMA but not Activesync. I simply get a password prompt again and again.

If i untick require SSL and use port 80 my JasJar syncs over Activesync direct to the server over GPRS no worries, but cant do this as company policy requires SSL.

Questions

1. Has anyone got Activesync working on their Mobile 5 device with a single server setup (no frontend and Backend) with SSL enabled.

2. I dont really need OWA or OMA just activesync over web is their a way i can use SSL for Activesync if i am not worried about the others?

3. If i really need a frontend server is this a pain to do and do all my users internally still access the old (backend) or do they need to repoint to the frontend? In addition in this case would the frontend server also become the server with the internal to internet exchange smtp connector?

Really stuck. If anyone can help i would be very greatful.

Thanks
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] eagle 1:
Yes, I have exchange 2003 sp2 single server working over ssl. Did you have activesync working on your exchange server running sp1 using AUTD?

Is the name on your ssl certificate the same name as the server name you input into active sync on your device? It must match exactly.

Is your certificate publicly recognized by a authorized certificate reseller or did you export and enroll cert into your pda?

Does outlook activesync work over http connection setup on a desktop or laptop using ssl sync?

Can you use activesync using http connection on an outside network to connect to exchange with outlook?

I would guess it has something to do with the certificate name vs the name of the server on your pda...Just a guess tho.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] deluxe:
Didnt have running prior to SP2.

Certificates matches exactly and public signed /recognised.

Activesync over a desktop does not work over ssl.

I can use Activesync over http from the internet as well as oma and exchange OWA on standard port 80 http just not ssl.

I have followed the microsoft instructions to create another ExchDAV without SSL for single node scenario which is why oma started working.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Churchill:
I am running EXSP2 single server configuration with SSL enabled. I am using the CACERT free Certificate. You need to import the ROOT of your CA into the PDA.

Take a look at www.msexchange.org there you have to search for the apropriate article.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] deluxe:
Cert

Ok, when you used the freecert and imported to root how did you get your JasJar to ignore the fact that the certifcate is not from a trusted authority other than importing onto the device?

I did hear something about a Secure=0 entry in the registry?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] numanoids:
If you can save the root authority and server certificates to your PC as CRT files I think, then you can transfer these over to the jasjar and then just tap on them to import them

Thats what I did
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] V-Ger:
Check this:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=817379

Check if you can access OWA or OMA over SSL without Ceritifacte error.

If you get error you shoud copy the CA certificate (CRT file) to Universal, rename it to CER and import it.

Good luck!
