Got an Australian Gnex running 4.04. The OTS jellybean update is months away according to Vodafone AU so ive been looking into manual solution that causes the least disruption possible. Very tough diciphering the language on here. My apologies but there doesnt seem to be a specific thread that can help.
From what i have read - I can open the Bootloader and somehow flash the factory image without rooting?
Was on the dev page at google to get the latest firmware? - ive DL'd yakju Android 4.1.1 (JRO03C)
I have already unlocked the bootloader with a toolkit for mac found here on XDA. i just dont know what to do next? The file is a .tgz which ive never heard of? dont you normally copy the whole zip file to the SD card then boot into recovery and somehow flash the new firmware? Help.

Yes. i dont know how use commands and directories. The thread is not clear for mac users.
The 'NEW!Install Stock Jelly Bean / Unroot to Stock Jelly Bean [Odin for Mac] ONLY GSM!' one click method didnt work.
Such a shame this has to be so complicated. Im stuck and now just have a wiped phone still on 4.04 and i cant ask any pertinent questions in the appropriate threads because im a new member.

Question remains - once the bootloader is unlocked - can you install the downloaded google factory image from recovery without any complex commands?

It is not complicated at all. If you don't know how to open a terminal window and type in commands, it has nothing to do with android or flashing. It has to do with knowing how to use your computer.
I already replied to you in the other thread: to switch directories in a terminal, you use the cd command, i.e., cd /this/is/where/my/files/are
Lack of knowledge on how to use your Mac should not be confused with anything Android... not related at all.

I genuinely appreciate the help, but realise that 95% of computer users will never open a terminal and type a command. Ive typed your commands in terminal but its not working and i dont understand directories. If i dont ask questions ill never learn will i? I cant see your reply anywhere??

Asking questions if you don't understand is perfectly fine... and I'm willing to help. But complaining that a procedure is complicated and lengthy when it actually is not, is not cool.
As for your issue (although I've never used MacOS): if you save the files in a directory call junk, and junk is located in myname, the the command to reach junk would be something like: cd /myname/junk. Or, find a way to open a terminal in the junk directory to begin with -- I'm sure if you search any Mac help site (with something like how to open a terminal) you can easily find that out, no?

The fact ive sat here for more than 4 hours reading through threads, searching forums, reading tech sites, asking friends, unlocking the bootloader, downloading firmware, trying desperately to make 'terminal' work with your method, and leaving posting in this forum as the last resort - is testmanet to how complicated this is to a new user - especially one on a mac system. Ive used one click root methods previously when i had access to windows - unfortunately i dont anymore. I think the guides are easy to follow as a PC user, not necessarily for a mac. Ive tried to use terminal to locate the files, i cant do it. dont understand the basic principals involved to understand the mistakes im making.

I think you are making it more complicated that it really is. When you open a terminal, in which directory does it open? In other words, what is the prompt that you see? THAT is the directory that you should download and extract all the files to.
That's the problem you need to fix. Read some basics about macosx. Get comfortable using it. Then proceed with flashing your gnex.
This looks like a good tutorial:

Another issue you are having is that you are trying too many different methods, and confusing them. There was no need to root if you are flashing a new rom.

You can still flash the stock jb as per my instructions. It's just that rooting made no difference - it was a wasted step.
And as I said before, you don't have to learn the commands, as I've written them out for you. You just need to find out how to save the files and open a terminal in the same folder, which doesn't seem like a difficult thing to do. Google should be able to tell you how to open a terminal in a specific folder. Or, as I mention before, save the files in the folder which you already have your terminal open.
The whole purpose of my guide was to learn -- and you are have a more difficult time than others because you have taken shortcuts (I.e. 1-click methods) in the past.
I agree, not everyone has that kind of time: I have 3 kids (with everything that comes along with that), work a high-stress, 70 hour a week job, and no IT/tech/linux/android background, but I managed.

I didnt find how to move the terminal command subject and i did try many different pages via google and many different ways of phrasing the query. So i just dumped all the files onto the desktop as that was where terminal seemed to be referringand it seems to be working. im waiting for the final reboot - its taking a long time. :fingers-crossed:

Hi,
I purchased my wife a google nexus 7 last christmas and it has android 4.4.2 on it.
Wifi version only
It is 100% unmolested in anyway. She simply uses it for web surfing
I purchased her a new 10.1" tablet that will be here shortly so I will take the nexus 7 from her LOL.
To preface the rest of this post, my phone is a samsung galaxy s3, probably close to 2 years old, and am quite famaliar with rooting and installing custom roms, etc all with help of xda of course.
Once my wife gets her new tablet, I would like to root the nexus 7 and install a clean, simple, basic new rom that is de-oxed and rooted. I'm a pretty basic user and like to keep a clean minimal os, etc.
#1 The nexus 7 shows that there is a system update, I assume it's an os update but she never bothered to install it? Should I before doing anything else? Will this have an impact on rooting and installing newer roms?
#2 I assume the wug's toolkit is what I should to root, etc
#3 What is latest version that I can install that meet my needs for a basic, clean, rooted and de-oxed android version. I don't need anything fancy. Just quick and clean and maybe something that aids with battery life? I assume custom recovery is similar to the phones and that one can still use titanium free version to uninstall unwanted programs.
#4 Since I never used her tablet, is flash an issue these days with android and tablets?
I will use the nexus 7 for basic web surfacing and things of that nature. I would love to eventually install ubuntu touch as I only use linux on my home laptops but that is a convo for another day.
Any suggestions and comments are appreciated.
If there is something you need to ask to give me some suggestions, please do ask.
Thanks
1.- Yes, it's a system update. It's a Nexus so installing it won't have any effect on your ability to flash a custom ROM in the future.
2.- NO! Never, never, NEVER use toolkits to do anything, ESPECIALLY on a Nexus device. More problems are caused by toolkits than any other reason, and relying solely on toolkits will hinder your ability to fix anything should something go wrong, simply because you just won't know how to fix anything. Nexus devices are the absolute easiest devices to root, and are the perfect devices to use to familiarize yourself with ADB, fastboot, and just the basic ins and outs of that side of Android. You will want to use fastboot to unlock your bootloader, and install a custom recovery. From there, rooting is as simple as flashing SU, and you will likely be prompted to do so after flashing recovery. The whole process only takes a few minutes and will provide an invaluable learning experience. Read the stickies, that's where you will find the guide and the bulk of the information you'll need.
edit- this thread should get you started- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2381698
3.-Read the OPs of all the ROM threads in development and flash whatever you think has the features you are looking for. The functionality of custom recoveries are near identical across devices, just make sure you flash one that is specific for your device. You will find the threads for recovery in the Dev section as well, possibly in original development. Yes, you can still use Titanium.
4.- No issues with flashing, as long as you flash the proper files for your device. Nexus devices are VERY difficult to brick, so don't be afraid to get your feet wet.
I hope this helps, and if you have any more questions, don't hesitate to ask. Happy flashing!
Edit: and just an FYI, Ubuntu Touch is absolutely horrible and isn't even close to being a viable mobile OS. You can use MultiROM to install and dual boot it so you can try it out very easily but trust me, you won't like it one bit.
Thanks for the info, anything I need to be aware of before I start having fun once I take hold of the tablet. I get the small one she gets the larger one, hahahaha. Happy wife happy life.
I keeping reading about the boatloader needing to be a certain version before going to the newest os? No?
And I will stay away from touch, since I am a purely linux guy for anything computer or laptop thought it would be worth asking.
Also, what's the deal with odin and tablets. I use it all the time for my phone.

The only caveat I can think of is to make sure you unlock your bootloader BEFORE you set up your device, as the unlocking process wipes everything.
I'd much rather have to deal with a smaller screen than an unhappy wife, you're making the right decision . And actually, I personally prefer smaller tablets as they are easier to manage and are better for gaming. With the exception of my Surface Pro 3, all my tablets are smaller sized. I have the 2013 Nexus 7, the iPad Mini Retina, and a Dell Venue 8 Pro which is an awesome 8" x86 Windows tablet that runs full Windows, not the dumb RT version.
I'm not the right guy to ask about the bootloader. I don't like Lollipop so all my Android devices are staying on KitKat. I haven't flashed any ROMs on the N7 in ages so I haven't done any research on bootloader compatibility. If you have a link to where you read about it, post it and I'll look into it for you.
Trust me, Ubuntu Touch is not worth your time. I flashed it on both my N5 and N7 just to mess around with it and promptly deleted it. It isn't worth the space it takes up on your device. It's that bad. But if you want to see for yourself, just install MultiROM, it has a built-in option to install Ubuntu Touch as a secondary ROM. You should install MultiROM anyway, as it gives you a painless method for trying out new ROMs without losing your current daily driver setup.
Odin is specifically for Samsung devices so it doesn't apply here. Familiarize yourself with ADB and fastboot, as that's how you'll be doing a lot of your mods.
When you say wipes the device, do you mean installed apps and date but nothing OS related right.
Since I don't do anything major with it (once I get it) and my wife didn't either I don't think wiping is an issue.

It just wipes all your user data, the OS is still there. It's basically a factory reset.
Nexus 7 2013 with 5.1.1 installed.
I've been reading about how to root it. Most of the instructions I've found are for Android 5.0. Since the rooting instructions involve flashing "patched kernels" for boot.img
( http://www.droidviews.com/root-nexus-5-nexus-7-2013-android-5-0-lollipop/) I am afraid to brick my nexus 7 by flashing the wrong boot.img.
Where do I find the correct files to root 5.1.1?
Is it the same boot.img as the one used to root 5.0?
Thanks.
Ok. Because nobody replied to my several requests for help, here's some useful information for others in my situation.
http://dottech.org/180387/how-to-root-nexus-7-2013-on-android-5-1-1-lollipop-lmy47v-guide/
http://wccftech.com/root-nexus-7-2013-lmy47v-android-5-1-1-and-install-cwm-recovery/
I know how scared of bricking my device I was and I know I'm not alone, so I hope this will help others avoid days of searching. Please note that the instructions are specific to the Android version and device.
**These are directions to install cmw recovery. I prefer twrp recovery. So if someone finds similar instructions for the nexus 7 2013 specifically for android 5.1.1 please let me know. I have not yet found it. Thanks.
I still have to do the same with my nexus 5, Android 5.1.1 ..... As some of us know, what is a no brainer to the experts is not so for many of us. So these helpful websites are very helpful - - once we find them
Did you look at Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2389107
I used this to root my tablet when I got it a year and a half ago, and it was so easy! You can install TWRP right from the program. You can also use it with the nexus 5.
Thanks for replying.
I know about Wug tool. I've used it and ran into trouble. I now prefer using adb and fastboot and know exactly what I'm doing.
Hello all. I am new to the N7. I look forward to trying out some of the awesome development in this forum. Before I begin I need to ask some things. I have spent ALL DAY today reading forums and researching this device b4 I begin. But to be honest, I can not spend days reading every post out there and still be a dad here. So I am trying to stream line this some. I am not a newbie in rooting / roming. Sorry if I have not seen a topic like this b4 posting. There are just so many in this forum now to go through. I will delete this one once helped if nessary. Also THANK YOU VERY MUCH in advance for any help I get here.
1. I have a Verizon note 2, Verizon PERMANENTLY locked the bootloaders on their phones so development has stoped/ slowed drastically. I know the N7 has a locked bootloader that can be unlocked. Is this still true on a stock 5.1.1 lollipop version? or Is there a step to reflash to an older rom I should do first?
2. I see the wugs toolkit out there and a nexus toolkit. Is there any reason to use one over the other? Are either of these working on my STOCK 5.1.1 rom still?
3. Can someone please run down the steps to achieve UNLOCK, ROOT, AND CUSTOM RECOVERY? I seen how wugs does all that in it's program. So if that is the way than a good link to use Please.
Once again. Thanks in advance for your help here. Please also feel free to add in here anything I need to be aware of b4 I begin making my N7 a beast of a tablet. I can not wait to try out some of the awesome roms and mods I have seen so far.
:thumbup::beer::thumbup::beer::thumbup::beer::thumbup::beer:
To root or not to root? That is the question.
1. It's unlockable
2. No need for a toolkit just use fastboot, unless you don't want to know what you're doing. It's in the platform-tools folder of the android sdk. There are many guides on xda about how to use it. Don't forget to install googles usb driver.
3. Very easy. Boot the tablet to the bootloader by holding volume down and power while turned off.
Plug into the computer and open a command prompt in whatever folder you have fastboot and type fastboot oem unlock and hit enter. Follow the steps on the tablet.
For recovery download the recovery .img you want and put it in the fastboot folder. Type fastboot flash recovery whatevername.img
To root just download the su zip from here and flash it through recovery.
You need to be careful you don't have a new Nexus 7 version which doesn't allow the mounting of any of the partitions in a custom recovery. I have one of these new Nexus 7s and no matter what I do I can't get the recovery to work, there's a thread about it.

Here's the thread on the issue. I bought my N7 yesterday and I'm affected by this. I can't resolve it and am stuck on stock at the moment which is annoying as I bought it to mess about with Roms and kernels. I'm not sure how you identify which tablets are affected but it seems the later manufactured ones are.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3064562
Hello all!
I am in dire need of assistance and unsure of what to do next
The tablet I have is a Samsung Galaxy Tab3 7.0<stands for 7 inches? Model number is: SM-T210 and the Android version is 4.2.2. I believe this is the 2013 version tablet.
Short Version: :
I need some help and understanding of what order to do these things.
I read that installing a custom ROM helps with the performance a lot
Do I install the custom ROM first? Or do I need a custom recovery ( TWRP being the popular on)
Also, does my device need to be rooted?
A little confused at the order, what I do/do not need, and where to download all this from
Any more enlightnemt about what I should do next will be really helpful.
Otherwise I will just have to purchase a tablet :? (will installing a custom rom, rooting etc actually make my painfully slow tab3 faster? Or shall I just buy a new tablet?)
Long Version
Just some background info this current tablet:
The other day I 'foraged and found' the Samsug Galaxy Tab3 that my father was given for free with the purchase of his Samsung phone back in 2013. The tablet was hardly used, no files (photos or documents), some apps on there, basic use from him at work. I have used it for a few days and it is quite slow/performance etc. This is after the factory reset, but not sure if I will keep it as its still a bit sluggish and driving me nuts!. I have performed the standard and basic 'how to make your tablet faster', by turning animations to 0.5, downloading a differnt launcher, moving apps to microSD card etc but it doesnt help a lot.
So I was going to purchase another cheap(ish) tablet, but some wandering research has allowed me to stumble upon info about 'installing custom ROM's, flashing, backing up using TWRP custom recovery'.
Now I am no noob when it comes to tech. as 'I am a 90's kid who grew up with it' . But I am also no expert, however I come with open arms when learning about new techie methods/techniques.
And this installing custom ROM's sounds interesting, especially as my tablet is not really usable everyday, so I dont have anything to lose by tweaking it!
So I thought, lets start by watching a video 'How to Install A Custom ROM On Any Android Device (2018)'> But then it mentions that I need a custom recovery, TWRP being the popular one> But then that video tutorial says that I need my device to be rooted! So thats 3 different video tutorials that I need to follow. But I read that it does not need to be rooted, then I read that you dont need a PC for custom ROM's but some videos use it..oh God! As you can probably tell, this is really confusing for someone approaching this new area of 'rooting/custom rom'.
I would really like some help/advice about where I should start, what tutorials to use (I do like videos), what to download, what devices I need, softwares etc!
Hopefully the information I have provided helps
Thank you!
This is not the right forum for your tablet. You have a Galaxy Tab 3, this forum is for the Galaxy Tab S3.

Might just have to buy a new tablet.
Was hoping I could experiment/test with this tablet I currently have
I m not familiar with your device, but steps are always the same: 1. Flash recovery with Odin (TWRP for example) 2. Copy Rom and Gapps to your device's SD 3. Boot to recovery 4. Follow ROM installation instructions. Happy Flashing, don't forget to enable USB debugging. Cheers A

Hey!
So I do not need to root my tablet? Many people say you have to? Maybe its best I do that?
Also, many different tutorials show different orders of installing and using different methods?
And, can I just do everything on my tablet or do I have to use my PC?
Do I need to install any apps or just to to certain websites on the tablet and install things?
Any specific links and order of doing them would help a bunch!
P.S What do you mean by "copy Gaps"? Do you mean apps?
