Bypassing inital setup screen with adb !!!! - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I've jst dropped my nexus 7 and the digitiger is broken. In addition to that, I was dumb enough to factory reset my device. Now i'm stuck on the language selection screen without usb debugging. The only way I can get adb access is through the recovery.
Is there any solution to skip the initial wizard using adb/fastboot ?
Thanks a lot and Don't drop your n7 !!!!

USB mouse + OTG cable?

[Q] HELP: How to flash Google factory image without USB debugging?

Hey,
i've got a huge problem with my Nexus 7 32 GB 3G. I've had root and i made an update many times without any problem, but once i was making some update of 4.2.2 the device didn't want to turn on and it freezed on Google logo. I tried to do plenty of ways to repair it; unroot, factory reset, wipe... Then i tried to do a flash via Nexus 7 Toolkit, but... there is the problem! How can i do the flash without enabled USB debugging? Is there any way to evade it? Or can I enable USB debugging from my PC for example? HOW??? PLEASE!
Is there anyone who can help me with solving this problem?
Any ideas, recommendations..?
Thank you for all of your responds.:good:
flash a factory image using fastboot...
USB debugging doesn't have anything to do with fast boot mode. Fast boot is the proper way to flash the images.
USB debugging only matters within the booted OS.
You should spend some time learning the right way to do things instead of relying on toolkits.

Hi, BerryRide...
You don't need USB Debugging enabled (as far I'm aware, it's not possible anyway, in FASTBOOT/BOOTLOADER mode)...
Download the factory stock image for your device, from here...
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images.
Shutdown your tablet... and reboot into FASTBOOT/BOOTLOADER mode (Vol Down BUTTON + PowerOn BUTTON)...
Hook your tablet up to your computer, via a USB cable (preferably the USB cable that originally shipped with your tablet)...
And run...
Code:
fastboot devices
This should return a SERIAL NUMBER, indicating you have a FASTBOOT connection, and you can then run whatever FASTBOOT commands you like... including what is in the FLASH-ALL script in the FACTORY STOCK image for your specific device.
Rgrds,
Ged.
Bumping this thread because it just really helped me!!! Thanks @GedBlake!!!!
For the longest time I could never get fastboot or flash-all to work without first enabling USB debugging and much swearing and dealing with permissions. Wound up that my device wasn't getting recognized by Windows at the bootloader. It finally worked after a manual update Device Manager -> Update Drivers using the SDK Manager directory (I subsequently read about in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1583801).
Updating my three Nexii 7 to MRA58V was a breeze this time. Wow- thanks again for the direction.

[Q] Nexus 7 Hard Bricked- Is this hopeless?

I have been searching for hours/days, can not find a solution. I recently unrooted my Nexus 7, 2012 WIFI to download and try the new stock Lollipop 5.0 . I found out the the 5.0 was too buggy and kept freezing up my Nexus. I decided to revert back to 4.4 using the nexus toolkit (as I have many times in the past) and in the process lost my recovery option while in bootloader mode (was on a friends pc and had loose USB cable). Because I can not access the system to enable USB debugging. I am now on my own PC using a good USB cable I cant get ADB to recognize the Nexus. I have tried many drivers. I am thinking this is considered a hard brick scenario. When I do a reboot in bootloader mode, I get gray screen. When I try using recovery, I get dead droid with upside down triangle. Any help would be appreciated. I am not a rookie at this but also not a pro so I need help.
Remember, I do not have USB debugging enabled, nor can I boot up to access dev options. I can go into bootloader and adb modes but can not get adb or nexus toolkit to recognize. Thanks
Anyone?

Help with a stuck Onda W975V

Hello, I bought a tablet that had a broken windows. It just boots up to a screen asking for recovery media. Unfortunately when I plugged in a usb keyboard to access bios I decided to fiddle with the usb settings, and result, now usb devices are not recognized I was trying to find a way to make a usb hub to work in order to have a keyboard attached simultaneously with a usb stick, to install windows.
Now I am stuck with this, since I cant find a way to reset the bios, is there anything that can be done since no key combination will reset this and no reset button exists on this tab?
can anybody help out on this matter or is the device a lost cause? Somehow I can't believe, only things I need is a bios reset and a usb hub that allows me to use a bootable usb stick and keyboard for install?

nexus 4 - broken screen and usb debugging turned off

Hi
I have a nexus4 that has a broken screen, it is, it doesnt react to the finger touch, and doesnt have usb debug enabled
What could i do to extract the files from there?
I have seen that connecting a mouse via usb is not an option as this device is not compatible with that, so i think the only option i have is to flash the device to have usb debugging enabled
Is there any other option i can explore?
Thanks
I am sure that you can enter your recovery assuming that your power + vol button is still functioning.
Try to connect your device using Wug Tool and use the tool to back up all the files.
Give it a try and let us know.

Yes, i can get in recovery, but, i assume i would need to unlock the bootloader first, isnt it? If i do it, i will erase all the documents inside
Hi
I have tried getting into recovery, but, as expected, as usb debugging is not enabled, i cant see the device from adb
So, the key question is... how can i enable usb debug in a device with the screen broken and with bootloader locked, without wiping the data?
Thanks
It is possible to turn on usb debugging?
I have clean phone - after factory reset.

Dead screen and UPS mode

Basically, my SGS5 got electrocuted. There was a bit of water in port and it got shocked form charger. I quickly switched to UPS mode so I had 2 additional days of calls while I was searching for a replacement smartphone.
Then the battery died. A moment ago I have replaced port correctly and battery is back to life ... sadly middle of my screen is unresponsive. Left Right and top are working but middle and middle bottom doesn't. I don't know why that happens as it's in good condition on both sides.
The main problem is that I cannot unlock a phone with the pattern ... and I cannot factory reset him no matter what as I need the data and access to apps it has inside.
Is there a way to reset pattern lock? Bypass it or remove trough adb? UPS mode has disabled USB debugging by default if im correct. Or anything that would let me emulate him on my PC.
Phone is rooted running PhoeniX rom.
Thanks for any bits of advice.
You can try to connect a mouse via USB OTG cable.

no because UPS mode has usb debugging off ... all OTG features are disabled

Sorry to mislead you.
Then try this variant:
1. Flash TWRP with Odin.
2. Boot to TWRP.
3. Connect to ADB. Run "adb shell".
4. Remove lock pattern: "rm /data/system/gatekeeper.pattern.key".
5. Reboot the phone: "reboot".
No screen touching is needed at all
But it will work if you don't have /data encrypted and Reactivation Lock turned ON.
