[Q] Sixaxis help - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I have a nexus 7, and I recently rooted my device using wugfresh's toolkit (Thanx btw)
I then downloaded the sixaxis compatibility checker, clicked start, and what not, plugged in my usb device, blah blah. I didnt use a pair tool, i just used an otg cable and used the ps3 controller via usb on the nexus. anyway, in the end, everything worked fine.
Because it was rooted, and everything was wiped clean, i kept gettin a notification to install a new update from google play or whatever. couldnt remember. anyway i installed it eventually...
and now, sixaxis doesnt work!
i re-installed both the compatibility checker and the actual app, but it doesnt work. When i click start, all it says is:
Attempting connection type 1...
Driver Starting...
and stays like that til i press stop. if i press start again, it comes up with the same thing, and theres no bluetooth address at the bottom. Before there was, now there isnt.
Could this be because of the update i installed? If so, could i just unroot, and then re-root my device, NOT install that update, and then try the sixaxis checker and app again??
Or if that wasnt the problem, what could be the problem?
Any ideas, would be awesome.
thanx in advance

May need to restart SuperSU to give the controller app rights

Rooting problem :(

Ok, I've rooted my phone before but had to reset the phone to all stock because I downloaded an impaled version of angry birds to get the ads off and make the game run smoother....never doin that again lol. Anyway, I tried using the one click root like I did the 1st time but its not findin my phone. I think it says something like it does not recognize adf internally or externally. I downloaded the right samsung driver, put the debugging on, and used the usb cord that came wit the phone and it still doesn't work. I already have CWM (I pushed it on the phone wit odin) and have the stock kernel. now I just need root again...

Wugs root toolkit for nexus 7 problem.

Hey guys, I am having a hard time making this program work for my n7. I have the n7 32gb wifi with 4.2.1 JOP40D and I put those settings into the program, went into developers mode in the device, put the device on usb debugging and put it in airplane mode. Anyhow, I am trying to back up all apps and I get a message saying "Rebooting your device" then a second later it changes to "Waiting for your device to finish booting back up.." Well my device isnt rebooting or anything. I try manually rebooting but that doesnt change anything. I even tried backup all apps System apps+data and it does the same thing. When I try to exit the program it wont even close, it just hangs so I have to go into task manager to end it. Anybody have any ideas on what I am doing wrong? I want to make sure I have a backup file as I don't want to brick my device.
Check your drivers. There is a thread here on how to do it.

Something similar happened when I rooted mine. First of all make sure you have unlocked it, its very obvious while booting if you have unlocked the boot loader because a big open lock will show at the bottom of the screen during start up. Secondly, and the thing that worked for me, is to change the toolkit to "Android *.*.*.* any" in the model selection menu. As soon as I did that everything worked perfectly.
Thanks for the help guys, it turned out to be my drivers.
Wug's root toolkit won't recognize recovery version??
Hello, I recently upgraded to Wug's v. 1.6.2 and every time I start to use it, it says I have an "old" version of TWRP, 2.3.blah, blah and it wants to install update to latest 2.3.blah, blah........only thing is, I am on the latest 2.4.1.0!!!! Why does it not correctly recognize my recovery??? Thanks in advance.
My buddy is having issues with wugs toolkit getting drivers installed. He installs them but then when he goes to unlock and root its as if drivers are not there. Any ideas? I have been trying to help him with this to no avail he is running windows vista.
Thanks in advance for any ideas

Return Ouya to stock?

I've had my Ouya for a few days and have rooted, installed Google Play etc
However I am finding it a little unstable and would like to start again from scratch and restore it to the stock ROM. A factory reset doesn't get rid of Google Play store or Settings.
Is there some way to restore to stock?
I restored mine last night by downloading the ota from the website, booted into cwm, did a factory reset from there, then flashed the ota

Thanks for the info. I was hoping to be able to do it without installing CWM but maybe its not possible.
I tried this method but can't find Windows recovery mode driver - if there is such a thing. I get the yellow triangle once the Ouya goes into recovery and can't adb.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2385485
Go here to get the driver.
If you're running Windows 8 make sure to turn off driver signature enforcement.
Once you have the driver working you can put the OUYA in recovery and go to sideload the stock image..which is here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2266629
Adb only sees OUYA in sideload mode with stock recovery. At least for me.

Thanks for the help lads, I now have it restored.
It took me forever, though . Nothing seemed to work i.e. CWM, sideloading in recovery etc etc
Turns out I didn't have the windows driver installed properly . Everything looked OK in device manager but it wasn't. I (eventually) uninstalled everything and installed the drivers from scratch. I then sideloaded the OTA at the first attempt.

[Q] Bootloader unlock help.

So, since the new root method is out, and motopocalypse works again, I thought it'd be good to unlock it while possible. So I got the drivers reinstalled, rooted, installed supersu, checked for root (verified), turned on USB debugging, and started the program. I hit enter and it says
*waiting for device
*starting daemon on port 5***
*daemon started successfully
It says nothing after that. Even after minutes. The driver are installed correctly, root works fine, I have my original cable but I just don't know what to do. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

ADB will send a prompt to your phone, you'll need to except it. Just use the apk instead, it's easier.

[Q] Cracked Screen Nexus 4 Screen, How to recover my data files?

Hi all,
I've got my old Nexus 4 Device out but the only issue is I dropped it face down on a concrete floor, The entire screen is smashed. The LCD works fine, but is unresponsive to touch. I've tried accessing it through my computer but because I have a lock on it, it won't let me access the files.
It is rooted, but I'm not 100% with as my friend did it for me. He's away at the moment so can't really help me.
I had titanium backup on it. Does this mean anything?
Also I've seen the method of people wiping the cache. However this doesn't work for me as I have a different screen appear TWRP, Team Win Recovery Project, which also requires a slide to unlock....
Is there any other possible methods of obtaining my data?
If there isn't thats not too much of a problem, and Im not too concerned about losing the data, so Im open to experimentation!
Cheers guys!
Few months back I had a similar problem with my nexus 7 . Easy way is to connect a USB hub and a mouse via OTG to unlock the device and then connect it to a computer .
Let me know if it works.

Okay, and this would work?
An OTG cable looks like this right?:

Cheers
Yes, that's the OTG cable.
In my case ,I have connected a keyboard and mouse then with the mouse I have unlocked the pattern lock.
You can then take a backup with PC or a flash drive

The N4 doesn't support OTG unless you're running a kernel that supports it (stock kernel doesn't have it).
When I cracked my screen, I used adb to send tap and swipe commands. Of course, you need to to have previously enabled USB debugging...

Since you have twrp installed you can pull files using adb
In a cmd prompt
adb pull /sdcard/
You might need to install adb and drivers first, koush universal drivers work well.

Sorry, I have no idea of what you are talking about. I'm a relative newbie when it comes to all this rooting and roms and stuff as my friend did this for me, but Im willing to learn?
Id be more than happy to continue this conversation through PM?
Cheers,

Boot into twrp, then on your pc run the commands drfred said. Before you do that Google 15 second adb install. Install that

Okay, so did the 15 second install, couldnt get past step 3 however. For some reason when I pressed y, it would just quit out of it.
1. Run it (Require administrator privileges)
2. Press Y/Yes to install ADB and Fastboot or N/No to skip
3. Press Y/Yes to install ADB system-wide or N/No for current user only
4. Press Y/Yes to install Drivers or N/No to skip
5. Continue Driver installation
6. 15 seconds passed - finished!
But Im assuming its done? I booted my phone into recovery mode, and it comes up with the TWRP screen. I've plugged it in. Now do I just go into cmd and literally type in 'adb pull /sdcard/'?
Or is there added extras in there?
Cheers,
So I tried it out, but I don't think anything happened. How do I tell?
I ran that command, and it just gave me a huge message, I read through a bit of it, and I recognised the device commands, but not sure what message I should be receiving?
Cheers,
If you get a big message with all the adb options then I think you must be typing the command slightly wrong. The output should be a list of your files as they transfer.
If you run the command right but the driver or something else is wrong you'll get an error message eg. no device or device offline.
