I have read posts related to attaching pendrive in nexus 7 w/o root. I have also read posts related to running usb dongle modem in nexus 7 with root by PPT Widget. Wanna know any way i can run any usb dongle modem in nexus 7 without rooting?
Thank You.
First, a question....
Is there any reason to not root?
Just wondering.
And to answer your question, I think it may not be possible, because some system files may have to be modified to install drivers/required files.
My opinion, feel free to prove me wrong.
Peace,

Hi everyone,
I have recently bought myself a Nexus 7 3g(not opened yet) and i want to know what i need to know about before i root it (using Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit v1.6.2). I know to check the usual thing like making sure everything works. But when i root do i need to know such as know the baseband version/ril version (matching pair)? If there is any issues using this method of rooting with recovery installed?
Or is it as easy as Unlock>Root>(Custom Recovery box checked) and to store back to factory default Flash Stock+Unroot>OEM Lock
I saw this in teh forum "When I drop to the command prompt in TWRP, it says "insufficient space" or something similar, and is trying to backup to the /sdcard/media/TWRP directory instead of to the PC. I have an 8GB model w/ about 6GB in use." Is this still an issue? should i be concerned?
Should i grab a copy of this? 4.2.1 (JOP40D) - md5: e5d22e0791ab2f5d470bba77fbd6771d - size: 277.7MB. Should this be matching to mine?
Many Thanks!!!
***Another question is, how to i tell which one i got? a Nakasig or Tilapia
I wouldn't use a kit to root. Its easy to do manually just follow this thread

Thanks for the above post but will any one be able to answer my other questions? Like the difference between Nakasig and Tilapia? Are they the same? I want to install openrecovery-twrp-2.3.3.0-tilapia.img but what happens if my device is the Nakasig model? I havent opened my device yet since i'm waiting for my screen protector.
I want to root root this device but with limited knowledge i'm worried i might brick it.
Its real easy. Its mostly an automated process. Follow the on screen directions. Make sure u have USB debugging checked on in developer settings. Click on the about>build a bunch of times if your developer tab isn't open. YouTube this if needed. Don't know about the other questions

Ok, so samething. Many thanks guys. I feel a lot better now.
Ok, So i got my 3G version! rooted and had busybox installed! everything else is stock!
I can't connect my USB flash (Fat 32) with is used to work on my Galaxy Nexus before, simply nothing happens when i connect it!
I tried installing Stick-mount and other OTG Helper but nothing worked! changing the cable(OTG) didn't help either!
Is this a common issue on this 4.2.1 specific version ?
anybody can confirm that it works or not?
Any Ideas?
Thanks in advance!
OTG is working fine on my Nexus 7 wifi running paranoid android 2.99
I'm on 4.2.1 and can say otg working good. Not only flash drive, i can connect to my logitech wireless gamepad, my dslr, and mw modem.

Thanks all for replying.
@ucubz
Are you on STOCK rom?
Is there any app installed that allows you to use the OTG functionality or is it out of the box feature on 4.2.1?
I can't figure out what makes my nexus 7 3G Un-OTG-able!
Download StickMount from the Playstore.
Works verry nice!

Yes, right now I'm using stock with motley kernel. For mounting hdd or flash disk just download stick mount by chainfire. It will automatically mount your drive when you connect it.
As for logitech gamepad, its worked just fine, no need for additional apps.

i just flashed SmoothROM (4.2.1) the other day, and my OTG cable wasn't working until i installed StickMount. thanks!
Stock rom, stock kernel, rooted, OTG-usb cable, stickmount. Works great for read/write access and streaming media from external storage. Not all OTG-usb cables work. Try and find another or try your cable with another otg supported device.
Thank you guys! i guess I'll flash a custom kernel !!!
If it doesn't work for you on the stock kernel, I don't think installing a custom kernel will make any difference. Many, many people use OTG successfully with the stock kernel, including me. Before you go that route, try plugging in a usb mouse to see if it works. If not, I would suspect the cable itself. Any option to try the cable on someone else's device? Is Stickmount in your list of root allowed apps in your Supersu or Superuser app? Are you using the latest Stickmount? Do you have USB debugging on and are you connecting as an MTP device?
Hi all,
I couldn't find any topic on the subject (though I may not have looked well enough).
Is it possible to save a file from the Nexus 7 to a USB stick with a USB OTG cable and a rooted Nexus 7 using stickmount and a file explorer?
Yes, as discussed in numerous threads. Check the Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum where questions should be asked.
Look for threads with OTG in the title. What you want can only be done with certain ROMs and definitely not on stock.

I missed something here. I do it all the time using ES File Explorer. Stock ROM, rooted, with Stickmount.

If you are rooted you are no longer stock. You might be on the stock ROM, but stock means the way the phone came from AT$T.
The OP stated he has a rooted N7. That is sufficient to use stickmount and an OTG-usb cable for read/write access to external storage. Many people refer to stock, rooted as meaning the stock rom that has been rooted and not all N7's are from AT&T. The poster you replied to also stated he has a stock rom, rooted.
Is there any way to root my nexus 7 through WiFi? I am asking because my tablet's USB port is broken. My tablet's boot loader is already unlocked. Thanks in advance.
How many threads asking much the same thing can you possibly create? Stick to one freaking thread

Hello,
I found a way to enable USB OTG feature in Nexus 4 without being needed to root.
I can't attach any link because I'm a new user, so please search in google "how to enable usb otg on nexus 4" - this is the second result - wonderhowto
There is an app that suppose to allow it.
I am afraid that this app is malicious because there are no responses for the guide.
What do you say? will it be safe to install it on my Nexus 4?
Unfortunately, flashing kernel is not relevant for me and I have to get the OTG feature.
Thanks.
