[Q] New to Nexus family.. Have some doubts!!! - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

Adios!! I recently recieved N7 2013 as a gift from KITKAT. Though i not new to flashing roms and all i m confused between these build numbers.. Before KK update(kot49h) JSS15r was thr. The rooting guide shows the JSS15RQ so can someone expalin me how to install CWM on KK(kot49h).. Also is t possible to access USB OTG without rooting??

It's a nexus so flashing a custom recovery is the same no matter what build you're on.
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flash recovery [recovery name].img
Simple as that.
Not sure about OTG because I rooted the moment I got the tablet. I'm sure if you googled it you can answer that question yourself.

Yes, with TotalCommander and the USB Stick Plugin-TC it works flawlessly for me!

Back to Stock (yakjuvs) (Galaxy X Brazilian) without usb cable

Hello everybody!
I need a ****ing help here now! I searched in XDA and i didn't found any solution (maybe for my despair), but, here i go:
I have a Galaxy X (Galaxy Nexus in Brazil), it's had the ROM (yakjuvs), but i "transformed" in Galaxy Nexus Takju for recive atualization of the Google. Now i have a problem with Usb conector port (in the phone). It doesn't connect in PC.
- What I need?
Back to stock rom (yakjuvs), unroot, back to stock recovery, re-lock bootloader (I think that's it.), for send my phone to warranty for repair.
- What's my difficulty?
I don't have access via ubs/pc.
There is any way to make this?
Sorry if there is other post about this, but i really didin't found.
I need help as fast as possible.
So long, and thanks for all the fish! Thanks! Thanks!

Unique solution that i think possible if you can't flash in bootloader is using stock zip flashable file, passed with airdroid and flash stock but you can't flash stock recovery without bootloader, for lock bootloader i saw trickster mod ( root app ) option but is experimental
Are you sure that is Phone problem and not driver on PC/Usb port damaged on pc? it's strange :/

[Q] ARC - update kernel without fastboot?

Dear,
My Xperia ARC USB is bricked and it can not connect to PC or charge.
Already unlocked bootloader and rooted.
Can boot in recovery mode using x-parts.
Now I want to ask: is there any solution to update kernel without fastboot ? (like my case)
Thank you!!!
PS: I still can use this phone because I got 2 battery and a dock charger.

As far as I know, you need Fastboot to flash a kernel to your phone. Install Flashtool, along with the Fastboot drivers, if you haven't done so already. It SHOULD detect your phone. Then, use the Flashmode option to flash any stock firmware, which would unbrick your phone, and following that, use the Fastboot option to flash the kernel of your choice.

Thank you for your reply.
But I cannot use USB in my ARC now. My phone USB is damaged and broken (physical - my mistake above when type brick). I can not use USB cable to connect my phone to PC now.
I look for solution maybe like HTC Hboot or DUMLOCK.
Thank you.
No, not possible, SE phones have different partition layout.
Next time, use search. This has been discussed already. Also use search to find more information, how it actually is.

Root without micro-USB port

It's possible root my Xperia Arc without using the cable? My port don't work, the pins are broken.
I can connect to it by SSH, but idk if this helps...
Thanks.
Only if you have unlocked bootloader or a recovery(CWM) installed in the ROM's /system folder.
1st can not be done without micro-USB port, 2nd can be installed via Play Store.
Hmm, if the phone wasn't updated to latest gb or ics (no need to downgrade via flashtool) maybe it is possible to use wireless adb.

I have the last version of official ICS of Sony.
It's possible to connect with ADB wirelessly without root, but I need to pair it before, connecting it with USB, and that's not an option for me.

You don't need usb for wireless adb. But! You are updated so it won't help
[email protected] S
Just like they said, try wireless adb and execute script by bin4ry. With a little amount of luck you may succeed.
And BTW, thread moved to Q&A
Its possible do it with a non-rooted phone without conecting it before?? How can I do it? I didn't found a solution...
EDIT: See my next post.
I didn't found anithing about this. Its impossible connect with ADB by wireless if you are not root or you don't pair the device with the cable. I searched about this on Google hundreds of times, and there's no way!! If anyone another way, post it here pls.. But i repeat... i didn't found anything...

Well if you found nothing, no one else going to, so looks like the answer to your original question, is no.

I said before - you have updated phone so nothing to do without flashtool downgrade. I forgot that wireless adb need root - my mistake.
Another way - repair phone. Don't waste more time trying, someone will install new usb port in few minutes for few $.

Have you tried "z4root"?

[Q] Phone root using tablet

Hello everyone.
I was wondering if it would be possible to root my galaxy nexus using my tablet, which is 2013 version nexus 7, running none other than 4.3. I have an otg cable and keyboard and all the equipment I think I would need. Would I be able to root my phone or any other phones/ unlock them or unlock the bootloaders? I have a great terminal app that I would most likely need. Please tell me all that i would need to do different than on another computer including Fastboot and ADB, as well as drivers.

There was a way to setup adb and fastboot on Android devices a while back. Not sure if it was kept up to date and still works. But if it does then yes you can use a tablet to root your device.
Anyone know how to do this. Can i run ADB and Fastboot in any way on my nexus 7?

That one is out of date. I guess i should make a request on an updated version of that, since i am mostly just a noob compared to the rest of all you guys.

Updating my rooted phone without an A to C cable (safely)

Hey guys,
I want to update my 5X(7.0, NRD90M) to the September security patch(7.0, NRD90R). I'm currently rooted with TWRP installed. How do I go about doing this? I can't attach to my PC and use the android SDK thingamajig because I don't have an A to C cable. Is there any way to do this on my phone without a PC, or perhaps wirelessly with my PC?
Oh, and, updating and taking the OTA like I normally would does nothing. It tells me the update is downloaded, but when I try to install it, it boots into TWRP and does nothing
Thanks in advance!

Just buy the proper cable and flash a full stock rom (bootloader and radio, boot, system) in fastboot and reroot, afaik you need a non-modifed stock rom to flash an OTA fil.

I understand this is an option, but is there no other solution? I don't have a need whatsoever for an A to C cable currently. If I'd have to buy one it would be just for updating. If this is my only option I think I'll just stick with my current version of Android until I can loan a USB-C PC or something. I don't think I'll spend $15 on a cable I'll only use once a month :/
