how do i trasnfer files to nexus from pc - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i have unlocked and rooted nex 7 and now try install cyanogen mod i have zip for lasted version and latest version of gapps but cant put them on sd card on nexus because i get an error how can i do it?
thanks!

You could transfer them using Airdroid: http://airdroid.com/

Same here,that is awesome App。or via OTG function

Airdroid is good. I'd also suggest Software Data Cable since it allows you to drag and drop files between the device and your computer right from Windows Explorer.

What error do you get? That would be helpful for figuring out what the problem is.

can't install FLASH on 4.1.1 ?

Just bought our 2 nexus 7 tablets today....We want to root them but haven't yet. I was trying to update the FLASH to the latest as one of my websites and one game wanted me to do that. I was taken to the google paly and there was a message that the lastest FLASH can NOT be installed on this device and I read that it is NOT support for OS over Ice Cream 4.0? Can some one tell me what I can do? Do I have to root to do this?
Thanks

No, you don't have to root to install flash. You have to download the apk and install it, that's all.

I did root my nexus 7 and I did install flash by sideloading...but I get a blue box sometimes and other times I get the message that I need to upgrade flash...I used Dolphin HD browser on the nextus and chrome and the same thing happens in both.
Somewhere I read something about renaming two files...don't remember where I read that or what two file. I do know I didn't do it because 1. I wasn't able at the time to find the files 2. it didn't say what to rename them????
Any suggestions on what I have to do...my nexus 7 is now updated to 4.1.2
Thanks
Tried this doesn't work either...

Error on upgrade to Jellybean

Can anyone help me with the error message I receive when I try to install 4.1.2?
My Nexus7 is rooted and I have changed the build properties file to get the tablet ui. Both are downloaded zip file and the pushed zip come up with the same fault. Please check screen photo for error details.

You must disable "signature verification" if you want to flash ota update on any recovery but stock.
I see you have clockworkmod, so that's why it's failing. It might be in " advanced," Or "install zip from sdcard"
if not look through each menu till you find "toggle signature verification"

No, the error states that the build.prop isn't as expected, I.e. he's done some modifications and due to that the update fails.
-> he needs to flash the full update manually, probably leaving out the /data partition to keep the apps and their data or at least he needs to revert the build.prop modifications.

Will the upgrade work if I put the original build.prop file back in the system directory? If so can someone post a vanilla file so I can compare and then replace to try it?

If you didn't change anything else, it should work, otherwise you will stick at a different point. About the build.prop: Didn't you make a backup? Every time you modify something of the system, you should make a backup before. Unfortunately I don't have the original one, but probably you can extract it from the stock image.

Here's the build.prop from JRO03D https://www.dropbox.com/s/j5d396wnc8fqnc1/build.prop. If restoring that does not work, follow AndDiSa's advice and flash the full update manually except for /data.
Yep that fixed it. Think there's a crc type check done on the upgrade. Changed the res back to get the tablet ui and all is joyous in the world. Thanks for everyone's help.

Did you tried different versions? Which type of installation you're trying to do? (with a new number, titanium back up, etc..)?
I can upload the version that i've succeed to install, if you want to give a try

I also had trouble with whatsapp on my N7, Titanium backup worked for me. (Uninstall whatsapp from the phone before you install it on your N7!)

I used TI backup to take a data backup from working whatsapp plus on my phone, and transplanted it over, and eventually managed to get whatsapp plus working on my nexus. I can't really give a guide though because i just screwed about with it until it worked. Sorry.
I also used an app called appguard, to remove the permission for whatsapp plus to read the phone model info. If you Google 'whatsapp appguard nexus 7' you'll find instructions for that part.

[Q] [URGENT] Need help accessing files on my Nexus 4!

Im in dire need of help here. I sold my phone through ebay today and have been rushing round to restore the phone to default. In the process I have wiped my phone of everything up to installing the factory 4.3 rom onto the phone.
Unfortunately, I cant access the phone via my computer! Ive tried installing drivers but I cant access the storage to put the rom onto the phone for me to install it and I'm tearing my hair out over this.
Please tell me theres a way to do this!
Thanks in advance!
PS. Windows 8.1, TWRP recovery.

You don't copy anything onto the phone... You flash it in fastboot. Plenty of threads about this.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
To restore the phone to stock you need to use fastboot, not flash through custom recovery, otherwise the phone still isn't stock and they won't receive updates.
Just follow these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34552123
For Windows 8 to install the driver you need to reboot into advance mode and press F7 at the menu to disable driver signature, adb/fastboot and driver link in my signature.

I used the fastboot guide and it worked. Thanks for your help everyone!

4.4.4 update won't install

I've gotten the notification for the 4.4.4 OTA twice and when I tap to install, it reboots into TWRP and nothing else happens.
I've included a screenshot of the error it gives me. 4.4.3 installed flawlessly without a hiccup. I don't understand what is happening now.
BTW, phone is on stock, rooted and as you can see, I've got TWRP.
I think the /system verify check is failing due to modified contents. Flash stock 4.4.3 /system partition through fastboot and try to apply the ota again.

You're cloudprint2 apk is either a non-system app (missing?) or has been modified somehow
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
Just did a search for the apk/app and I don't seem to have it on my system. My guess is I need to install the Cloud Print app from Play?
Yup, you can try that. If you still get errors, instead of hunting down every problem present, it would be a lot easier to return system to stock.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Free mobile app
Well, I've installed the Google Cloud Print app. Now I have to wait a few days to get the OTA update notification again and see if it goes through.
What is a bit puzzling is the fact that I had no issues updating to 4.4.3
You could just download the 4.4.4 ota zip from here and flash it through TWRP. Much faster and the same thing.

That's the problem. It's looking for that app and it's not there. Put the attached in /system/app. Make sure the permissions are rw,r,r

OK, I think I might have to go this route because after stubbornly getting the apk to change permissions and to move the file to the system>app folder, I ran the zip file and got yet another error... I really do not understand.
I have done nothing to my phone aside from adding an app or two since the 4.4.3 OTA....
Yup, much easier to flash the system image than to hunt down every error present.
