You know any old USB mini B will fit ?
Thanks I didn't know that, I'll search for my house for one. I think I can use the "cp" command in terminal emulator. I remembered the command after I posted this.

There are also some wireless syncing apps on the market.
Playstation 3 controller cords work. If all else fails, you can probably pick up a short cheap one at Walmart for a few bucks. I've been pretty lucky with these cords, I seem to have a million laying around the house, ranging from 4 foot to about 6 inches.

I recently bought my mother a Motorola Bravo and I found that phone can connect to the PC wirelessly for file transfer. Also the Motoblur software is useful. Does anyone know if there is an app or setting to allow wireless connection to a PC? My laptop does not have bluetooth or I would use that. I am also not talking about tethering, just for file transfer.

There ya go...have not checked it out yet myself but I did find it in the market, has free and paid $2. Not sure what all the restrictions are on free though file size is one.
Also, the search here on xda is somewhat lacking...you are better off using google and including a reference to xda in many cases.
Try Swiftp ftp server.

Did you turn on usb storage? Plug your phone in, pull down the notification tray, should have a usb connected ongoing notification. Tap it. Then turn your storage on.

Quick Question, Did You Go To Settings/Connect To Computer & Select Disk Drive? Soon As You Plug Into The Phone Usually There's A Beep Sound From The Computer, Do You Hear The Noise?
If Not, Then You Might Have The

Hi, guys
I think that it's great to have the ability to root your N7 without USB cable and perhaps without PC (like the transformer prime) :laughf course after unlocking your boot loader (unfortunately using PC) there got to be away. I'm 99.9% sure that it's possible but nobody cares to find it .
Any thoughts? Ideas?
Thanks for your input.

Well, there's an 'exploit' that will ROOT the Nexus 7 without unlocking the BOOTLOADER... but, unfortunately, it still requires a PC and USB cable.
---------------------
I remember, several years ago, running something called z4ROOT (which uses the rageagainstthecage exploit) on my Advent Vega..
z4ROOT was an app (an apk, sideloaded) that acquired root by 'exploit'... no cables or PC required. Just run the app, and upon reboot, you're rooted.
So I suspect that what you propose is entirely possible for the Nexus 7... given an 'exploit' is already available.
The 'exploit' runs with the Nexus 7 fully powered up (as normal), cabled to a PC, and with ADB debugging on.... so maybe it's just a case of 'encapsulating' the exploit into an APK, in much the same way as z4ROOT, which ran successfully on my Vega a few years ago.
Of course, I'm just speculating here, as I simply don't have the required level of technical knowledge...
But, I agree... there's got be a way....
Rgrds,
Ged.
All I did was unlock the boot loader using pc, twrp roots the device if its not already rooted.

Yeah... straightforward and the standard way of ROOTING (roughly)...
I think what the OP is getting at, is ROOTING without the need for a PC or other cabled encumbrances... just ROOT via app (or maybe some command line in Android Terminal Emulator).

Ged.

I found the app of course it didn't work however it might be a good idea to contact the Dev
I'm pretty sure that app only worked on old devices. Like froyo and down.

I'm pretty sure you're right... but my point wasn't to suggest it could be used on the N7 (in fact, I'm pretty certain it wouldn't work at all), but to highlight it as an example of how 'root by exploit' could be (indeed, has been) encapsulated within an app.
And given an exploit for the N7 already exists... how difficult can it be to turn that exploit also into an app.
Maybe it's not possible at all; maybe I'm talking out of my hat (it wouldn't be the first time)... but it's the only way I can see how the N7 can be rooted without a PC... which is the OPs desired intent.
Rgrds,
Ged.
Some exploits need to run on a PC. The device is "open" when connected to a PC through debugging. The exploits take advantage of that. That's why it is done the way it is.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
almost done !
OK I found a way but there is one BIG problem .
i successfully connected the device to my PC using wireless adb but it's listed as offline because of the RSA whitelist so is there anyway to overcome the RSA checksum .
Please help
I really want to root my device and play with custom ROMs. I'm not exactly skilled with modding phones but I'm proficient enough. What I can't figure out is WHY. Why is it so tough to crack this sucker?
Locked boot loader is the first difficulty second is nobody has done it yet it's under a relatively new os and it will take a while to find exploits. My razrm took a year.

Ok so i did the HTC-Dev Bootloader unlock and root. ok so i have tried firewaters S-Off method and it looks like im not gonna have any problems Except for when i connect my device and open cmd and Type (ADB Devices) usually you get the rsa prompt on your screen asking to approve what you are doing. Theres my issue! i cannot get that prompt at all no matter what i do ive tried diffrent ports ive swapped roms i always have USB Debugging enabled . i have never had this problem before. my note 2 had no problems with its root when i typed ADB devices in cmd. but i do realise i am messing with an htc device.
all drivers are installed. because weird thing is when i type adb devices in cmd it shows my device but does not pop up on my screen!
Any help would be greatly appreciated
