Has anyone successfully rooted this tablet? Can I just use Odin? Which boot loader should I use? Is there any tutorials or advice?
My goal is just to get the thing to charge while having a thumb drive hooked up to it like OTG

Hi there,
So I did something really stupid and I wiped my phone while in recover mode trying to install a new ROM. And now I'm stuck with a useless phone that can only go into TWRP and Firmware Update Mode.
I've tried every method to unbrick my phone, and have a previous thread on this forum trying to get help (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48914581#post48914581), but nothing is working.
My question now is I'm running TWRP 6.3.2.2, If I buy a USB OTG cable and put my rom files on a USB thumbdrive, can I then install the rom from the usb? If so, where in the filesystem does this usb storage show up?

I believe only TWRP 2.6.3.4 can support OTG (I've been happy with it).
I think you may have to ADB push the files from PC over while in recovery (may need to look around).
I have Nexus Model ME307T. The USB does not seem to work either to charge, or is recognized on a computer. I did try replacing the USB port, didn't seem to help. I can charge via the cradle. Is there a possible way to root, install TWRP, and install CM onto my Nexus?
Okay so i have a nexus 7 right? yes, but im fairly custom to rooting and all that stuff. Well im not a nub at this stuff but i need help once in a while XD, i just got the thing to turn on again i let it die completely and the charging bug decided that it wouldn't charge. I ended up jump starting the battery and now it turns on but now i plug it in it turns on right? yes it does but now i can get access to any data thats on it. (P.S there isnt any data on it since i had to wipe cyanogenmod 6.0.1 off it) and theres only twrp recovery on the tablet, i can access twrp and the boot loader (unlocked obviously) but i cant access fast boot or push files via adb. The charging port is still good on it i know that we had it tested on a friends tablet and it worked fine. OTG usb doesn't work either i cant seem to get data on the tablet but it turns on when i plug it in, it doesnt charge when plugged into a wall adapter or a pc it just turns on when plugged into a pc. Any and all info is appreciated. (sorry for my spelling errors if there is any, also i am on linux so i dont need drivers as far as i know, i also tried on windows and its a no go the device doesnt show up on either os)
nexus 7 2012 btw

Thanks for the help but sadly ive tried that...
As the device can go into fastboot and twrp with adb and otg without data transfer being possible I'd say most likely the port is broken.
Just to be sure no adb or fastboot commands work at all right? even those which don't transfer files. If they work then your partition layout is messed up which could be fixed

Did you try to charge the N7 via wall adpater or the pc? Did you use the genuine charger that comes with the device? What does it look like when you plug it into your pc? Did it show up as a mtp device (or any kind of device) ?
Try charging the N7 with genuine charger, or via pc. Make sure you install the driver for the N7 (go google it) before plugging in. Judging by your status, it appears that you're having a defective charging port or mainboard. Usually you'll end up sending it to the manufacturer to get them replaced (hope that it won't happen :3 ).
Have you used the push files and adb function on TWRP? To the best of my knowledge, these errors don't come about often in TWRP. If you don't know to use it, look it up on Google or the Xda threads. One more thing, losing fastboot is pretty rare with N7, so if you're not sure whether the fastboot is VANISHED, go to this link: http://forums.androidcentral.com/go...1477-guide-nexus-7-factory-image-restore.html

Glad that I could help.

I've been googling for a couple hours and every different guide uses different apps, files, bootloaders, kernels... I know for certain that some of these will brick it from past experience. I don't know what else to do. Does installing TWRP enable USB OTG or do I need TrapKernel from some thread I found? Should Odin recognize the phone in "adb download" mode with the Samsung drivers installed on Windows 7? It's not. Is "adb download" the way to install TWRP, the kernel, or some kind of order or combination of one or both? Is TrapKernel or TWRP confirmed working with USB OTG on this model?
I've been googling two hours and haven't gotten anywhere. Most of what I found about enabling USB OTG is written very badly.
Thanks for your help!
Hi, I won't have my pc back for some time and was curious if there was some way to root it without Odin?
I have another rooted phone so was curious if I could connect mini USB to mini USB and use some kind of odin like tool for flashing?
Thanks in advance
