Hi All
I've been trying to update to JB 4.2, I used the auto update feature in the nexus but it kept failing to install! I then resorted to using ADB/SDK (only started using it yesterday so an extreme novice) to try and flash to JB 4.2, still it did not work.
Something went wrong when trying to flash as my nexus gets stuck on GOOGLE writing when booting up!! I'm using adb sideload with a factory image.tgz but it loads sideload to 100% in the command window (my nexus is in adb mode at this point) my nexus receives the files then says it's verifying update package, then says installation aborted!!!
Not sure what to do, really stuck, any help appreciated...:crying:
Hi,
I've been trying to root my nexus 7 all day. I saw a few posts on this, but I had one additional wrinkle: My nexus was encrypted. My company put in a Google Device Policy that made us encrypt the devices to get email. Encryption wasn't working properly, but I was able to use the device. When I tried to root + flash a new recovery, I had all kinds of issues. Was running 4.2.2.
The device never came up on the top half of the Toolkit tabs. It did appear under ADB devices though. When I tried some of the toolkit's fastboot options, like #8, it just hung on < waiting for device >.
Fastboot would not work. It just refused. I was trying on a Windows 7 box as admin, in all the different USB ports, with Camera mode USB debugging, and everything suggested.
Here's how I finally got it to work:
- Used Windows XP. Pathetic that we still have to go back to a 12 year old OS, right?
- Erased everything, boot loader, cache, recovery, user data, everything, using ADB and these very thorough instructions:
AndroidCentral > Forum > Google Branded Android Devices > Google Nexus 7 Tablet >Nexus 7 Rooting, ROMs, & Hacks > [GUIDE] Nexus 7 - Factory Image Restore
(Sorry I'm new to this forum and can't post links yet)
That set it back to factory stock. I'd used Helium (formerly known as Carbon) to backup my apps so wasn't worried about losing my data.
After going back to stock, I was able to get the fastboot prompts working.
Hope this helps somebody. When the device gets encrypted, I think it locks up /data and makes it quite difficult to flash over it. Gluck.
I rooted my nexus 4 on 4.2 with no problems.
I then upgraded to 4.2.2 while temporary unrooting with voodoo OTA rootkeeper then restored root and everything worked ok.
Now recently my Nexus 4 does not show up anywhere on my laptop but charges ok.
I have downloaded the latest toolkit V2.0.0 and installed the drivers (option 1) and it says they install.
In device manager I have an exclamation mark next to both google nexus 4 ADB interface and also both BootLoader Interface tabs.
Im totally stuck and dont know what to do.
Usb debugging is on, MTP is checked
If i do a factory reset on my phone, will it take it back to 4.2 unrooted like when i bought it and give me no problems?
I would be grateful for any help
Doing factory reset doesn't erase root.

Click to expand...

Even I had similar problem in my N4.
Try re-installing the drivers of N4. :good:
I also did that when my phone stops recognizing after flashing rom.
I have tried this but its still not working.
Can I roll back to 4.2 without connecting to PC?
Hi. I root a lot of different devices and have rooted an unrooted nexus 4's multiple times. A few weeks ago I had a nexus 4 with a broken screen, so I ordered a new one and fixed it. However the device was bootlooping so I restored it using a toolkit. The phone randomly started bootlooping again today. I've tried restoring it with Nexus Root Toolkit, NCRY, ResoreME and manually wit adb commands. However it's still bootlooping. Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do to fix it?
Flash the factory image with fastboot. Skip the tool kits. After flashing boot into the stock recovery and do a factory reset.

Hello,
Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere - I've searched extensively and can't find the answer.
My 2012 Nexus 7 wifi has been rooted and unlocked and I have played about with various OS's such as CyanoGenMod to try to get it to run smoothly without lag. The last one I tried was a fairly standard build of 7 (I Think), but after 18 months or so it slowed enough that I decided to take the nuclear option of reverting back to 4.4.4.
I downloaded a build of 4.4.4 called omni on my mac, transferred it to the Nexus 7 via USB and also included a package of Gapps.
When I'd flashed from clockworkmod the system kept rebooting, wouldn't let me turn on wifi and wouldn't show up when connected to the mac. I downloaded a factory 4.4.4. image but couldn't transfer this to the Nexus, so had to install and use ADB. I installed ADB via homebrew, which works, but I can't find the installation folder by browsing to it.
I got the Nexus 7 to reboot, but couldn't transfer the new stock image (nikasi) across. Now the Nexus 7 won't boot into recovery mode - I get a message saying that the boot failed.
All the guides I've read have advised me to reinstall the rootkit using a software package for windows (which I don't have) or to enable USB debugging on the device, which I can't access.
Any ideas? There's nothing urgent about this - I don't need the Nexus 7 for work or anything, but I would like it to work. It was great when I first got it, but lollipop ruined it and it's never been satisfactory since
Thanks
