Guest rferrett Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 It is hold voume down on my NX7. How do you unlock the bootloader? I don't seem to have that option, or maybe I am just being thick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rferrett Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 When I am trying to connect the NX7 to my computer it says "device drives not installed properly". When I do into device manager on other devices I have got "Nexus" appearing but it has the yellow exclamation triangle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rferrett Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 Must resist the temptation to fling my NX7 against the wall in frustration and anger. Tell you what, whatever oyu think about Samsung they at least make this s*** easy. Rooting my S2 and S3 were walk in the park compared to this bloody Nexus 7.....

Try manually updating the drivers for the device with the yellow triangle - this was the only way I could get it to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Phil Lee Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 I installed the 64-bit version of PDANet to get my Nexus 7 to connect correctly. I was then able to to unlock and root it with no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dbbloke Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Is the link broken or is there something wrong with my browser. Just keep getting ilivid.exe, female websites, music downloads etc.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alexbate Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Thanks for the great tool! Unfortunately lost root when doing the 4.1.2 OTA (although some people on XDA seemed to keep root), would someone braver than me be kind enough to check that this works with Android 4.1.2?

Guest PaulOBrien Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 I've never seen that before, best bet is to download and reflash the stock images from here - https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest andybarker Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 (edited) I've just tried Paul's routine on my Nexus 7. Got the reboot loop :( Downloading the stock images now - hope that fixes it. I did the unlock procedure first, then the de-rooting after. It then rebooted itself once, and then went around in the loop. Edit: Redoing the image from the stock image solved the problem.

Guest ezablade Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 How did you ix it??? Help! Ignoring my dodgy spelling.. fixed it... somehow. I re-locked the bootloader, still asking for password, re-unlocked it, and it sprang to life. Not sure if it was doing that, or trying putting it into recovery before re-unlocking, but, I now have a rooted Nexus 7... now I have to hand it back and act surprised on Christmas morning.

Guest AggressorUK Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 I used described method (Superboot) to root my Nexus 7 HSPA+. Everything was just fine. Unfortunately suddenly my device started to produce very distorted sound (at 40% of volume and above). It seems that I need to send it back to Asus. What should I do to reverse "Superboot"? Is it enough if I just reflash it with the stock image? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bbawden Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Oh, this is odd. It doesn't seem to have a recovery image installed. Is that right? How do I get one, so I can backup/restore and flash custom ROMs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
