hi guys,

just got my new n7 yesterday. it performed OTA updates to 4.2.2. question now is how can i root from this version?
*
You can use Nexus7 toolkit but choose 4.2.1 as software is not updated yet. Guaranteed it will work without any issues

That time I have triple confirmed with you that aokp can update without wiping data,only cache and dalvik,after that I got this error: unfortunately,keyboard(aosp) has stopped working,luckily I did a backup
*
I never faced such issues in my previous aokp or custom ROMs
It is a standard rule not necessary to wipe data if upgrading from same developer in any android phone
However presence of crack pirated apps often caused strange issues. Check your apps n don't put blame on straightforward proven procedures

weird.. i'm not receiving any update after i flash my n7 to stock.

How did you flash to stock
Kernel n recovery must remain stock too n if rooted is still ok
No delete or disable any system app
If everything in order just be patient n wait
If your phone rooted n have cwm/or twrp recovery you can flash the update zip a small file about 50mb only

Or try clear data in settings/app locate Google services framework n try again

Uncle can i flash this stock image with Nexus 7 Tookit to update to 4.2.2? Thx
*
YES. Use Nexus7 toolkit
Copy this tgz file into the subfolder " put your google stock image here" in the nexus 7 toolkit folder in your PC
Launch N7 toolkit and just select option to flash google stock image

Midway you have option not to wipe your internal memory - choose NO if you want to keep your stuffs
But your apps will be deleted = restore these from titanium backup
Root will be removed
Use the N7 toolkit to root again / reinstall CWM - select 4.2.1 as software not updated yet

I'm using carbon rom, just found out that I can't switch on my bluetooth. From the Off sign I slide across to On but it just does not light up and the button goes back to Off. Any carbon rom uses with the same issue?

send my N7 to Asus center at lowyat yday, to fix my speaker buzzing problem

the catch here is my unit is rooted, i specifically told the lady that my unit is rooted, do u guys still accept for service? she said yes, as long as u didnt touch the hardware..

i tot they dont service rooted devices, just like Apple void warranty for jailbreak devices..
*
My first Nexus 7 was rooted n install with CWM and motherboard replace FOC. However tech screwup while changing it and I got a new unit as replacement instead
I send in to Skudai ( Johor) center

For sure they need to give u new unit. If i were u, i will never take the thing at the 1st place, if he dont want to change, then i will not give the money, go to he*l with open seal, cannot change policy. I had been searchng for option for so long, compared N7 with galaxies tablet and ipad mini. At last choose N7 because of the review from users, although got downside no rear camera, which i really need.
Any ways to upgrade the speaker? i need it to watch movies sometimes. what if used with earphones? better?
*
I use this free app to have some improvement on speaker sound : Noozxoide EIZO-rewire™ PRO Series
There are some mods too at forum XDA ( but you need root) to flash these - tested and I find not much improvement and the free app is equally if not better

is it necessary charge 8 hours for newly bought unit? or charge until 100% is good enough
*
8 hours charge is "old grandmother fallacy". Just charge it to full or any level you want ; and you can charge it anytime and any number of times without worries

paid app is it? if there were no improvement, i guess other option is external speaker or earphone only la. the biggest reason why i choose N7 over other tablet is because the support it will get from google since it is a flagship device, hopefully mine will come with zero defect.  smile.gif

It is a free app. I already said is free

when my nexus goes into sleep mode, the only way to wake it up is to press the power button?

You can try this paid app Wake Up Screen
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?...up.screen&hl=en

I am using a covered flip case. When I open the flip , the tablet wakes up automatically

I suppose a lot of people is worried about warranty issue but the fact is Nexus 7 carries international warranty and our Asus Malaysia SC do honor that warranty. Even those units that came through Newegg and another international channels
*
Exactly correct. My first set from Google USA n even rooted with CWM warranty process free with motherboard change. However tech eventually give me a new unit as replacement

Tried it, nothing appeared on the screen.

Press the 3 buttons n wait for few seconds . You will see bootup splash screen n than fastboot menu. If still fail high probability your motherboard is screwed which is strange for a brand new unit
