I live in queens and go to school in midtown(Baruch) I could do it for ya. But I'd have to charge ya something(you actually would be my first client of the IT consulting company I started today)

You don't have to fiddle with Fastboot if you didn't apply to 2.2.2 update, FYI. You can simply use SuperOneClick, and then flash CWM and DJ_Steve's StreakDroid7 ROM.

So how much am I looking @?

You still have to have a pc to do SOC. My only pc is a laptop that runs vista and SOC wont run on it for me.

I used Vista to get CWM, then rooted rom. Just use drivers pre-loaded on
The sdcard.

When I try to use my laptop it says I need some Java JDK stuff and I have downloaded all the java JDK files I could and it still won't work. I was also told that SOC does not work on Vista so I gave up.

Not much man,, whatever you think is fair is cool with me. I can do it for you in just 5 minutes. I would do it for free but I'm trying to get my business off the ground and I have to start having that business mentality

SOC will only work if the DS7 isn't updated to 2.2.2, if it is flashing CWM recovery and a rooted Rom is the only option you have at the moment. I'm in DFW now, otherwise i'd say meet up at Austin Java Co or something ;b

I work at Georgetown airport mon thru fri, I am totally down for meeting anytime you want. Drop me a pm.

If you wanna put it in the mail ill do it for you. With a return label. But might I suggest holding out for a few weeks. Things may change with cwr.
sent from a tower

I'm in no hurry. So what could change with cwr that would help you root without fastboot?
Sent from my Dell Streak 7 using XDA App

no it would still be fastbooted but we may have to rewrite cwr not sure yet though. stay tuned. but im serious if you want too send it to me with a return label ill be more then happy too do it for you.

I may take you up on that. Pm me your address and I may ship it out to you next week.

[Q] need help rooting!!

okay heres the problem i have windows 7 ultimate on my computer and for some reason super one click wont work on there so i was just wondering is there another way to root it and i would love some rom suggestions i have no idea where to start!! thank you

I think I may have gotten it to worm by right-click, run as admin. Maybe.

Right click on it run as admin also if i remember correctly you may have to go to properties switch something to windows xp

Right click on the super one click icon go on compatibility mode and click windows xp then run as admin

Another dev Nexus 7 -- this time a 32gb one

http://imgur.com/a/motAI
Coworkers bought his 32gb unit from Office Deport which was delivered today. It has ICS 4.0.3 and a bunch of test apps loaded. Also the screen DPI made it think it was a normal 10" tablet. He was really confused by the strange interface of it and lack of setup wizard and everything.
I would have just loaded the new firmware onto it but this unit has the screen lift issue pretty badly on the right side -- so he's going to return it. Can't believe they haven't sorted that issue out already.....

ICS,Tablet mode..
You have dev tablet
Try make Backup and send to forum

Those apps could be fun to play with.. Possibly the binaries too for anyone who wants to get all retro and downgrade Android.

Sadly he wants a working tablet so is returning it -- meaning I didn't get any time with it. If I had more time I would have tried rooting it and TiBacking up all the various test apps. Funny they let stuff like this get released to the world.

They probably just "accidentally" install it on very few tablets, in hopes a developer gets a hold of it and does some cool stuff
Reminds me of how a person got a CR-48 test Chromebook with a BIOS on it (CR-48's had EFI on them), and that person uploaded the BIOS somewhere, and then anyone with a CR-48 could flash that BIOS, and then install any OS they wanted

Haha, ya, you would think. Of course, since the N7 is so open already, nothing really needs to be leaked. (Look at the recent full Ubuntu for N7)

those test apps are available. i have them all on my acer a500. There also is a version for jelly bean . but i cant find them They are on my computer here somewhere . grrr i need to do a fall cleaning .

Funny to see that there has been a 32GB with ICS from the beginning!

Where are these test apps available at? My accelerometer is off a bit and would like to try and re-calibrate it.

I had a set that worked with i think most or all ics devices.For some reason i cant find it. This might work im not sure. I have not tried installing this on 4.1 . USE AT YOUR OWN RISK...
If i remember where the others are i will post them. I have only installed on a500 and on my old ics phone. no longer have .
Have fun ..

Couple of things. First, Win8 RT relies pretty heavily on the UEFI BIOS API set. While not absolutely required, it would make writing the shim a pain. Secondly, trust me when I say that Google did not "accidentally" release the CR-48 UEFI BIOS into the wild. Things happen on the assembly line.

No dice. Put it /system/app, rebooted, and it didn't show in the app drawer.

Set the permissions right?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

I think to install that ..
Connect your computer to tablet thru usb..
cmd to the directory you unzipped the run the install.xxxx xxx x x ? .bat..
The above is from memory only. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.. if i had the tab here i could be sure my son has my a500 right now.. Gonna have to confiscate it back i think he is trying to take ownership . Kids go figure.. ..

Yea no doubt. If a 32gb was just updated recently it wouldn't of had ICS. So this suggests that Asus had 32gbs back during original production of the 8s and 16s.
O relly!

They've gotta get rid of all them old 8gb chips lying around somehow!

Ubuntu on N7 - Post your program experiences here (?)

As the title suggests. I'm interested to hear what people have installed and got successfully running the Ubuntu install on the Nexus 7. Is there a spreadsheet anywhere that outlines compatible and experiences?
Ideally, wanting to know if anyone's been using Eclipse with any other plugins (specifically anyone tried FDT would be cool)
Cheers

Keep in mind you can't run x_86 applications on an ARM device... so I don't know if eclipse will work at all, me being oblivious to whether or not they'd have an ARM version.

I see that there's an armhf Raring compile of Eclipse > https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/raring/armhf/eclipse
I suppose if you want to get even more pedantic and specific, I was ultimately wondering if you could also hook up another Android phone via OTG usb, then with Eclipse and FDT you could compile out Captive runtime Air?
I know I'll probably get shot down in flames with a "why don't you just get a laptop", and I am contemplating that too, but ideally I want/need to get a a tablet so the N7 is looking more likely. Tbh, I'll probably use Android more, but potential dual booting with Ubuntu functionality would be the icing the cake.

Been testing ubuntu using multirom. It's nice to have but I still feel that it needs to be more tab friendly and a few bugs ironed out. Boots quick and looks nice. I have also tested bohdi linux and that works well too. In time ubuntu will be a winner on the nexus 7 I think.

Is anyone working on an alternative root

Is anyone working on a way to root from windows ?
Sent from my MB886 using Tapatalk 2

I'm afraid not, my friend. Cause I heard that the way to retrieve root access now is based on something that only Linux has, so an alternative way to root on Windows means that it will be a brand new exploit.

You can boot Ubuntu from a USB drive or CDROM without even installing it

Unfortunate guess I'm stuck the computer isn't mine they are not comfortable with the Ubuntu way hopefully someone will figure out a way
Sent from my MB886 using Tapatalk 2

Yea dude just give Ubuntu a try I was a little skeptical at first but the good thing is you don't have to install Ubuntu just follow root instructions you should be good.

If you install ubuntu on a USB drive it will boot off it without touching the windows install or the hard drive.
I use ubuntu on USB for DEV work as my primary machine is also used as a windows gaming box.
** I'm not a fan of windows, it's a necessary evil however.

actually i wanted to Make a script like one Click i hope ill work on it and ill make it but im not sure might be need help

3 things man
1.i would listen to everything mattlegroff has to say or at least listen to his perspective..(hes usually right when it come to this.)
2.usb with ubuntu 12.10 has a try button when you first turn it on so you dont actually istall it(as soon as you remove the usb ubuntu is no more on that computer.)
3.your coming to this site for answers and these people are all telling you how to do this without affecting your friends computer or the way it runs but this also gives them a chance to give it a test run and come to the conclusion that ubuntu is the best rigt now(at least thats what i did)
but either way man we cant twist your arm you are the only one that can root your phone so why not give it a try
running Fuzion Atrix Hd (nice)

Haha you can send me your phone and pay for return shipping and I will do it, unfortunately thats not worth the wait lmao. Simple to do just boot from usb. Read the directions and if you need help mattlgroff has a thing to help you just pm him for it.

Eh I'll wait it out it's a great phone I just wanted to under clock and switch roms for better performance
