thanks pal...

guys i just bought a new unit of Nexus 7 32gb 3G from the garage sales..i have a issue with the screen being abit yellowish..i ask the seller to change to another unit but he said to go to asus centre to get a replacement..very disappointed with the unit just bought today and have this problem

Didn't test on spot doing cod? pity you bro

For me,as long as you can live with it,its no big deal,I got dead pixel on the 2nd day of purchase,I didn't sent for warranty because I can live with it

hello all.. just bought Nexus 7 32GB 3G 2 days ago.. contented with the unit just confirming... is the steps below correct?

To root:
1 - Use Nexus 7 Toolkit to Root and Install Custom Recovery (using 1-click option)
2 - After Rooted and Installed Custom Recovery, i can do a Nandroid backup.
3 - Can Flash to Custom ROM and KERNEL using Custom Recovery?
4 - Unroot/ Flash back to Normal again using Nexus 7 Toolkit.
5 - IF anything happens, can factory reset.

Am i right that i can do all using Nexus 7 toolkit? First time gonna flash an android device.. Scared will have problems..

As for Custom ROM and Custom KERNEL, can recommend me some with good customization options and a good battery life?

Thanks.

EDIT:
I noticed that there isn't root option available for 4.2.2.. I am still on 4.2.1... Should i Root the 4.2.1, then temporarily unroot it using OTARootKeeper, update to 4.2.2 and root back using OTARootKeeper? Does this work?

Thanks.

D/load the latest Nexus 7 Tookit v4.0. Flash 4.2.2 factory image & root. All with Nexus 7 Toolkit.

my bad.. so i can get the 4.2.2 option in the toolkit by inserting thisinto the toolkit folder rite?

Thanks for the advice sifu

EDIT: guess i misunderstood the advice.. so i download Nexus toolkit V4 > Download 4.2.2 image > flash stock image > root.. am i right?

Get the latest version of nexus 7 toolkit which contains 4.2.2 option here (if you can read chinese then it should be no problem for you, if you don't understand chinese, you have to find the download logo to get the file)

Thank you so much!

That why i rather got my N7 from senq.

I want to buy a N7 32GB wifi only, it's for my son, he doesn't need 3G. What is senq, is it in KL and is it a good place to get this model ?

Cheers.

SenQ, or Seng Hen. I not sure they selling 32G onli one.

http://www.senq.com.my/storelocator.asp
this is their website. This link shows where their stores are located.

Senq is electronic shop in malaysia

AFAIK, Malaysia is only launched with 16GB and 32GB 3G model

As for 32GB Wifi only, you can get from Lowyat sellers or newegg or shops that import them

correct me if im wrong

Thanks for the replies. I have been on their website and they stock 2 models of Nexus 7 but don't give any details of what they are, 16GB & 32GB, or wifi only or wifi & 3G.

I will have to take a look around when I am in KL next time.

Cheers.

OK thanks I will check in Lowyat.

I live in Thailand and only the 16GB unit is available on the rare occasion they actually have any stock.

I encourage you to get from a trusted Lowyat forum seller or online store such as Newegg or iPMart

We never know if those seller from Lowyat Plaza imports fakes / look alikes

For Newegg, please refer the first page

iPMart: http://www.ipmart.com.my/main/product/Goog...php?prod=368234

It seems that my unit draining the battery faster than normal after upgraded to 4.2.2. I am still on stock android., 32G Wifi version. Anyone has similar experience?

I have been looking through the Lowyat forum sellers and only one appears to carry the model I want but doesn't have stock.

The problem with buying from an online store is getting it past Thai customs, tax rates on imports are crazy here.

Maybe the best option is to buy from an authorized dealer, even if that means spending more and getting the 3G model.

Thanks again for all the help.
