Morning! My Nexus 7's screen has inexplicably broken, so I'm prepping it for a warranty replacement. So far I've wiped all the user data off of it, but it's still unlocked. I'm using Wugfresh's toolkit to bring everything back to factory defaults, but the tool is asking me for my Android build number. Problem is, I can't look up the build number because the screen is broken and noninteractive.
Any thoughts on this? Thank you.
Just use "any Android version" I think that's what it says. It is last on list

Anyone else having this problem? I setup the Q with my nexus 7, no problem at all, can stream everything perfectly and can access all the settings. Once i install the Q app on my GNEX running jellybean i lose owner access on both devices. Only way to get it back is to do a factory reset on the Q and only set it up on the nexus 7 ONLY.

I had exactly this issue the first time I tried to pair both the 7 and the Galaxy Nexus to the Q. After a reset of the Q, I was able to pair both without losing ownership from the 7.
Thanks for your reply, I've tried countless times but still have the issue. Right now I have the nexus 7 paired up with it. I removed the gnex until Google support gets back to me.

I had the exact same problem. I had to reset the device so I set it up first on my GNex and then on the Nexus 7. Well now it's doing the same thing again telling me I'm not the owner on both devices but it still plays fine.
I just reset my Q , uninstalled from both my 7 and gnex. Installed the latest version which was updated today and everything works great now. I am owner on both devices

Installed Cerberus having seen many folks on here rave about bit, but got to say since installing it, coincidentally or otherwise, my N7 has become very sluggish and unresponsive at times.. not yet uninstalled Cerberus to see if this is the answer as I'm not convinced yet...
Anybody with similar, or other suggestions?
Running Stock is un-rooted as per out the box.

Have Cerberus installed without issue. Rooted, stock though I don't think that is an issue.

One of the first apps I installed on mine. It is still stock, not rooted.
I have not noticed any issues.
Rooted with stock. NO issues with Cerberus for me.
OK thanks for the feedback, will see what else could be the cause then... may be a lack of storage space now I'm down to under 1GB... my do a a factory reset and re-load my apps, especially as Asphelt7 will tonight no longer load properly.. stuck a Gameloft splash-screen

My tablet seems to reboot quick a lot even when reading emails. I had it stock for a while but as you all know stocks firmware sucked. I move to a unofficial AOKP ROM which was okay but still reboots. Them I try one of the stock rooted ROMs with optimized scripts same issue..now I'm on Cm9 stable realise and I still get them. I am ready to sell it or just throw it on the trash ..

Had the same issue......reboots every 10 minutes on stokck rom as well on custom.
Brought it back to the store and got a new one.........this one had some dead pixels CRAP!!
Again back to the store and had another one wich i tested there...
Got it now for a week and runs just fine, yesterday rooted the device but i will stay on stock firmware for now.
Can't find a good custom rom yet......
Well that sucks for me cuz I been rooted for a while and I don't think Asus is going to swap me for a new tablet since warranty is voided

Only unlocking the bootloader voids the warranty (and this because they keep your serial number in a special database). If you're rooted you should still have warranty.

I thought once you unlock it..they keep the serial number on the database...but no worries this morning I forgot I left my tablet on the floor and I step on it and crack the screen ..now I'm debating whether to fix it or just sell it for parts..

Ive used titanium backup to back it up then moved it over to n7.

You can use them both with the same number already (I guess)
I use whatsapp on my Nexus 7 with the same number from my old android phone (But it died 1 week before I bought the N7).

Hope this helps
EDIT: This doesn't work, sry. (Just found it out this morning)

No, doesn't work..
Here's the idea:
1) Backed up whatsapp from my gnex
2) move it to my N7, restored it, working great
3) Open Whatsapp on my gnex
4) Go figure
I found having the one account on multiple devices didn't work well. Messages don't get sent to all devices, so it can be random which device the message comes through to
Hi there. I've had my Nexus 7 for 1 1/2 month and I want to get more out of it. I'm currently running stock 4.2.1. I'm a little nervous because this is my first tablet, although I'm running cm10 on my phone. Is rooting worth it or should I wait a while?:highfive:
haven't you already waited for a while?
I had mine for Christmas just make sure u have a suitable recovery eg clockwork mod and use the right tools there is tons like nexus 7 toolkit I used it is simple even for first timers plus Google make it solo easy. Do it then get stick mount and expand our memory.
PS many people say it affects performance.
Bull sh**

Yeah I rooted mine right away, but honestly I should of waited, I've tried a lot custom ROMs out there and all of them had give me bad performance/battery life maybe it could be my nexus 7 its self or 4.2.1 but I feel that i should of just waited wait till the nexus 7 development community gets better, not to take away from any developer here!

i find no probs with using the stock rom plus CM10 seems to stay in a bootloop so did try that but reflashed back to stock ROM

I think it's about time you unlock the bootloader (beware: a data wipe is then imminent), and then root it and give it a taste of some lovely CM10.1!
I recently got an N7 myself and I thought the stock rom was snappy. Then I unlocked the bootloader, rooted it, flashed latest CWM and flashed CM10.1 and it's amazing!
Got mine after boxing day before it was fully charged boot loader was unlocked and rooted. Am sticking to stock at the mo with bricked kernel

Wait you have a rooted phone and you're asking if you should root your N7? Surely you jest lol.

NEVER NEVER NEVER root your device.
Thanks!
I used the toolkit last night and it worked very good. Flashed cm10.1 and all but I didn't like it. Now i'm back on stock 4.2.1. Maybe i'll install a custom rom later on. Thanks for you're answer and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!:highfive:
Like the OP, I've already got a rooted phone (Nexus S 4G running CM10.1). But I've come to doubt the benefit of rooting/flashing. My wife's stock Nexus S seems to run better than mine. That said, she barely uses the thing and has installed maybe 5 apps in 18 months of ownership, so it's not apples to apples.
I got my Nexus 7 last week and I haven't encountered a compelling reason to root it yet. Since it's a Nexus, the bloatware argument is moot. I do wish I could install some Polytonic Greek fonts, but that's hardly a reason to void the warranty. So for me, it's staying stock (for now...)
I've had my nexus for about 3 months now and I don't think I'll be rooting it. I just want my tablet to work and not have to screw with flashing, updating, etc. I'll stick to that stuff on my sgs3. I play games on my nexus and don't want to have to worry about losing data. I know there are backup apps but it's still a hassle and I've had trouble before.

I rooted mine the same day I got it, you can always lock it back up if you need to but I have no regrets rooting ad away is reason enough to root in my book

Rooting and unlocking your device will not do any harm. I have rooted all of my devices and through the years never had a single problem. And if you are afraid you should know that any time you can relock the boot loader, unroot your phone and return back to stock so give it a shot
