I don't see my build number in the choices. Any ideas? The Nexus upgraded itself to 4.1.2 when I start it. I want to unlock and root and add my backup if possible. I get a fast boot error when I hook her up. Here we go again. Rookie time. Lol

Ok figured it out. Used another build number and everything went smoothly. I am updated and rooted with TWRP. I was wondering how to reinstall my apps like a mirror image. I have titanium but couldn't figure out how to restore a new device to specs of a different device. When I would try and access my backups on Dropbox thru Titanium it would try and make me upload each file individually. That would take forever. I didn't see a batch type option. I have never used Titanium to restore before. I just use it to backup.
I had the idea that I was going to flash one of my Nandroid backups but then it dawned on me that I would probably have problems because of the different size drives. So I am stuck reinstalling everything by hand. It is time consuming but I love getting to know my bigger new friend.

Note if you are running 4.1.2 and you want to root your Nexus 7 select "Any Build" from the Nexus 7 device list in NRT.

I tried that and I kept getting caught up with a quick boot error. I read somewhere in Wugfreshs thread about changing the build to one of the others in the list. It's not in front of me now. As soon as I changed it I was fine. I hope it doesn't cause any problems.

Let me know which one you used, the NRT topic on XDA says to use "Any Build.

I came across a similar issue. I had to unplug the N7, go into settings> developer options, then plug it back in. After that it recognized fastboot mode. I didn't change a thing, but it worked after a couple times of unplugging it.

I used 4.1.1 JRO03D I don't know why the afro is there but that is a O 0

I suspect that the 32 GB model is not recognized as an adb device initially, I would suggest checking device manager to make sure that the 32GB shows up as an Android phone. I don't have a 32GB model to verify but it could be verified with the adb devices command.
-
The adb commands worked, but the fastboot commands initially did not, so 'adb reboot bootloader' worked, while 'fastboot oem unlock' would not.
-
Interesting, but that is one that the NRT developer is reportedly working on.

First impressions. Love the extra space. It unbelievable, but I have that same bit of screen lift where I can grab it with my fingernail in the same spot. Nothing major. I also noticed the screen lightning issue once or twice today. Both are issues I learned to live with on my other one and didn't ruin the experience for me. I just put 10 gig of Karaoke on here and have like 15gigs of free space. I am happy.
Oh. I put the 16 on CL and blew it out for $150 to help cover the cost of this one.

Don't mean to hijack the thread, but where'd you get the Karaoke bjs?
radio

A buddy of mine was a KJ and I bought his rig a long time ago.
