Odin is a samsung-only application but yeh, there should be ways to attain root without adb (most likely via recovery).

What about hiemdell??? The other version for ppl who can't use Odin ..idk to much about it tho

Same with Heimdall I believe as it was meant to be an implementation of Odin. I'm not too sure as to whether the Nexus 7 has a 'Download Mode', if it does, somebody might write an equivalent tool to use it.
Why bother with Odin or Heimdall when there's fastboot anyway ? I find fastboot to be much easier to use and it hasn't got that much of a learning curve.

The tool in that thread actually uses the ADB to perform all of it's actions, I would suggest install ADB, get the drivers working and test with "adb devices" that the drivers are working and the devices is visible and then run that tool to streamline the rest of the process for you.
I would always recommend having the ability to use ADB, especially when you're tinkering, it's always best to make sure ADB works in-case you need to perform any other tasks for the case that something goes wrong.

A fastboot only method is available on modaco complete with a batch file to do all the hard work. Think you will still need to unlock the boot loader first though.

[Q]Can we use ClockworkMod Recovery instead of TWRP?

Just was wondering. I'm more used to what clockworkmod has so I figured it would be easier to install that instead. But I wanted to make sure it was supported before I went ahead and installed it. Anyone know?
Yes. ClockworkMod works just fine on the Kindle Fiya. there is no looking back now.

awesome. so i'm ok with installing it straight from rom manager right?
i'm a little paranoid bc a lot of people seem to be posting about bricking their fires.
Unknown. But if you follow the "bricked fire" threads, you'll see that most people find ways to get them back. So I think a lot of folks are at times stuck, but not truly bricked. I think the most common problem, and the one that bit me too - is being stuck in fastboot and therefore having the device not accessible by adb. And they, like me, panic a bit and think they've bricked it. Granted, I'm sure there are ways of truly bricking it, but as long as you're patient, I think KFU and the fastboot command can get you out of most problems.

Agreed. Doomlord's CWM recovery port is awesome. It's touch based and I've tried most every feature and it seems very solid. I installed it in a much easier fashion than most... I just copied it to my SD area and used the dd command to put a copy into the recovery partition. I did this during normal operation of the Kindle.... No fastboot necessary in using that method. Neall.

That method is sketch. Fastboot is the proper way to flash a recovery. Any other way you risk trouble. Wear your rubbers and use the fastboot binary.

its not sketch, just no room for error.
put recovery.img on the root of ur SD card, than open mobile terminal, than type these commands.
su (enter)
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/by-name/recovery (enter)
just don't mistype it, all it does is make a copy directly to the /dev folder.
this is how, rom manager actually puts cwm on ur device.

[Q] Which rooting method?

I see a couple of different tools here to unlock and root my Nexus 7. What are the differences between them?
I do not want to flash ROMs; just unlock, root and install cwm recovery.

Don't use tools for rooting with the Nexus devices, it's useless in my opinion. Try to understand the basics behind rooting, recovery and fastboot, do it manually and you will be able to help yourself even if something is not working as expected.

Even though I know how fastboot, recovery and rooting works, I still use this tool without any of those commands. And it serve the purpose for me quickly. Of course using such tools will not stop you from learning more afterwards.

then you should br helping out all the people that mess up their devices afyer using toolkits and dont know how to fix it. i havent seen you help out, yet you are still recommending toolkits. why is that?
I used the steps outlined at http://rootzwiki.com/topic/28544-guide-nexus-7-bootloadersrecoveriesrootback-to-stock/ to guide me.
I must say it might not be trivial for the non-software-developer types.
I was a Java developer for many years, so I didn't have much problems setting up Java,
Android-sdk, etc.
My N7 was recognized by adb when booted normally, but after I flashed cwm, I could not do 'adb shell' to mount the /system partition and rename the recovery-from-boot.p file to prevent the recovery from getting reset to stock each time.
I ended up installing the ROM Manager app to enable me to boot into cwm recovery.
I have done the obligatory cwm backup. I believe this is the nandroid backup?
Edit:
I used my Linux box to re-flash the bootloader and cwm recovery images to the Nexus 7, and I could 'adb shell' and rename the recovery-from-boot.p file. So I'm all set now.
I just needed to run 'adb start-server' and 'fastboot' using sudo, so it might have been a permissions issue on my Windows box.

I rooted my N7 with this, and had no issues to date.

Looks like I'm not all set, after all Today, right before I plan to take the JB 4.1.2 OTA update, I notice my tablet won't boot into CWM, like it did a couple of days ago. I did rename the one file and things looked normal. What could have happened to my CWM?
Edit:
So there are 2 files that need to be renamed, not 1?
/system/recovery-from-boot.p
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh
And there was a bug in JB 4.1.1 that prevented booting into cwm recovery unless the device was plugged into USB??

In the early days, automatic transmissions were more problematic and much more expensive. Today they are pretty efficient, even though a manual transmission gives you better control over the car, which most people don't really need for everyday driving.
If you frequently get stuck in stop-and-go traffic, you'll wish you had an automatic transmission.
Look at these lazy people..

Yes there was a bootloader bug on the nexus 7 and most people could not boot into CWM recovery without plugging it into their computer.
I however used TWRP back then [have since switched back to CWM touch, now that the bug is fixed] and had no issues. Now I have no issues with CWM touch, I can boot it directly from fastboot menu, or "reboot -> recovery" when booted.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. They both have their ups and downs. If you're willing to learn a little about how Android works and learn some adb and fast boot commands then you should definitely do it manually.
If you just want to be a "1337 Haxorz" and aren't willing to learn then just use a toolkit.
OK, just one sub-question on rooting. I see no real reason to root except maybe to get more tablet interface than nexus has. Kinda like when the wifi indicator is at the bottom, since there are those !$#$$ back/home buttons already and a lot of wasted space Anyways, the question.
I bougth N7 16Gb and upgraded via forced OTA to 4.1.2. Do all these root methods work with 4.1.2?
Thanx,

My nexus won't root!

I've tried eveything, the Nexus toolbox, ADB, and even Chainfire's auto root. I've managed to unlock my bootloader, but whenever it comes to rooting (depending on which way I try to root) the command prompt will stay at "Downloading boot.img" or "Sending Recovery (7806 kb)" until i either reboot my Nexus or close cmd. How can i root this damn device? I'm going insane! Thank you!

Try doing the whole process again from step one using the toolkit and install that will guide you step by step in installing the proper drivers and such. I usually do everything manually but I went into lazy mode and did everything just fine and with little time as well. :good:

It's a long process but i ended up having to use a Linux virtual machine (luckily i had one for work anyway).
No matter what toolkit or manual step to install drivers, i couldn't get Win7 to detect the phone, however, attaching it in VmWare to an Ubuntu guest system worked straight away. I got the adb/fastboot files by following instructions in a thread here on XDA and was rooted in minutes
May be worth a shot
Toolkits are a waste of space. Do it manually, it's only like four steps and you will see exactly what is happening and where (if anywhere) you're going wrong.

Soft brick but with no adb connection on bootloader

Ok, tired of waiting for the OTA KitKat update for my Nexus 7 2012 tablet, I downloaded the OTA update and sideloaded it with adb. Got a status 7 error and now it's stuck on a bootloop. Thing is, my Windows 8 laptop won't recognize the device anymore (code 43 error on device manager) when on recovery or bootloader. There's even no way to instal google's usb drivers or anything because it says the device malfunctioned. I downloaded the factory image but, obviously, can't sideload it or do anything with it.
Please give me a hand with this, I'm really desperate.
More detail would be nice. What did the bootloop go between? Had you installed any custom recovery like CWM?
Are you still able to access fastboot mode?

Sorry, wasn't sure what you needed. The bootloop esentially goes from recovery to off and then to recovery again. I am able to go to fastboot normally (power and volume down when off).
Wanting to root the device a while ago, I unlocked it and rooted it whitout issues. Since the 4.3 update though, it was a little more difficult to root so having no time to research I just left it at that. That's all that was done to the Nexus 7. No Custom Recovery, no ROM, no nothing. Now, waiting for 3 weeks for KitKat, decided to sideload the OTA update (I did check the version was my device's version) the status 7 error appeared and all hell broke loose with the computer not recognizing the device.
Well, since you still have access to your fastboot menu, there isn't anything to worry about. Once you resolve the driver issue, you must be able to re flash the image.

Yeah, that's what relaxes me a bit, but I can't seem to fix it for 20 hours straight. I use this for studying.
Well, I suggest using another computer (a friend's or relatives') or installing a Linux distro like ubuntu. Oses other than Windows usually don't have such problems. I suggest you download something called adb gui which as I recall did a pretty fine job of 're installing the drivers for me.
But then, please do correct me if I'm wrong... I think that you must first use the device on adb and get the drivers installed and then only can you use it by the fastboot interface.

I used Wug nexus root toolkit to install drivers (windows 8.1) there are clear instructions (if you click manual or something similar) how to get drivers to work.
Yeah, actually I did use the toolkit when I was trying to update to KitKat. Thing is, it doesn't work since the bricking occurred.
Yeah, I'll try on another pc, and I'll keep you posted.

I'm having a very similar issue. Mine will try and bootup but just stays on the boot animation for as long as I could wait, 10 minutes or more. bootloader is working just fine and I should be able to use fastboot commands to resolve the issue. I'm not able to get to recovery for one reason or another, but it is updated to the latest CWM.
The trouble I am having is the same though. I cannot for the life of me get the drivers to work. I have tried it on one win8 pc, and one win7 pc. I haven't tried any of the toolkits to help with driver installation on the win8 pc yet. I also have another pc that I am going to try also has win8 on it as well. If you can get the drivers installed, please post a reply as to what you did here, and I will do the same, from what I have been able to find you and I aren't the only ones that are having this issue.
If the windows route doesn't work, I have a copy of Ubuntu that will be going on the computer to see if that resolves my issues. Also, may want to try another cord, I have a couple that are charge cords only. Once getting the drivers working it should be a very simple job.

If I did have any driver issues, the first thing I'd do is reinstall drivers, and if necessary, Windows itself, because I like everything to be working perfectly.
But supposing that that was not an option and I needed my phone or tab real bad, ubuntu would be my first choice. Especially because the concept of installing 'drivers' doesn't exist in ubuntu.
No, that should be fine. As long as you have used terminal before and you know the basics.

I appreciate the advice, I will give it a shot this evening, and let you know if this works. I'm sure that it will.
Alright, so I got SDK up and running on Linux! It was a little bit of a pain, but it installed just fine. Once I got it all installed I was able to see the nexus 7 through fastboot! From there I was able to reinstall the bootloader. Then was able to get to recovery to do an adb push to get a rom of 4.4 on to it. 4.4 installed just fine. All problems are fixed Good suggestions guys!

Help Extracting Data

I don't know how, but my S4's screen broke internally (Through pressure, according to AT&T saying they are "pressure cracks").
Beyond that
I upgraded to the S5 (Knowing if I get a replacement S4, it's likely to be upgraded which I don't want so might as well get the S5), and I would love to get my pictures and stuff back without having to repair the S4 screen. The only problem is that it has a pattern lock on it. I do not think it had USB debugging on it, but it was rooted with SS. Kies and Windows don't completely recognize the device, only that it's plugged in. Need help on getting the stuff off. Please help!!
If usb debugging is off there's not much you can do. You could try to boot into recovery and the use adb to pull files off. Try "adb devices" and see if it regonizes your device. If it does then use "adb pull/sdcard/ c:\sdcard"

Boot to stock recovery or SS recovery? Also, can you use the volume keys on SS? I haven't tried it, so if you can I could use screenshots so I can guide myself through and mount USB. Or do that through the stock recovery but I don't know if it has that option. Other than that, just booting into either recoveries doesn't detect the device....

You could probably send it off to mobiletechvideos who could probably pull the data off.
Brain fact! What about using Heimdall to do a partial flash. You might be able to get past that lockscreen then.

Heimdall? Sorry for being a noob, I only had the S4 from September xD
Heimdall is an open source alternative to Odin. The MAC guys are forced to use it since Odin will not run on a MAC.
The part I was curious about is why your device does not mount as a hard drive when you plug it into your PC. Is that because of the lockscreen? I never use once personally.
It sounds like you may just have driver issues. You could even try downloading the Ubuntu LiveCD, booting to that, and then plug in your phone to see if it appears.

Well, it does mount. The problem is that no files are shown since it has a lockscreen... And alright I think http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2374441 that's it right?
