Wow, that's a relief! 

All fixed, using the Wugfresh toolkit.
Thanks to everyone who responded to my calls for help!

It would seem I have a problem.

Super SU reports 'There is no SU binary installed and SuperSU cannot installl it'

I've obviously done something wrong during the root process, but I can't see why.
Using the toolkit was a step by step process?

Thanks

After suffering some hopeless support from Asus here in Australia, the unit is on it's way back to the dealer for replacement, at my cost of course!

1. The dealer, Wireless 1 in Sydney, advises I have to deal with Asus on warranty matters.
2. Asus advise me to return the unit to my local Asus Service Center.
3. I drive 100km to the Melbourne Asus Service Center.
4. They only do laptops! 'Please contact the Sydney Service Center'
5. 1st guy at Asus in Sydney gets all my details then the call drops out.
6. 2nd guy at Asus in Sydney says ' all you've been told is BS'
7. As the unit was purchased less than 30 days ago, I have to negotiate with the dealer!
8. I'm given a DOA number by Asus, for reference by the dealer.
9. I drive 100km home, in a bit of bad mood!
10. Call the dealer in Sydney, OK, return it to us, at my expense!
11. Pay $20 for insured delivery.
12. Wait for G#d knows how long for a new unit.

Next step, a carefully composed letter to the head of Asus here in Australia! 

Cheers

Brand new N7, charged for 5 hours
Battery status in Settings: 0% - Unknown
 
I've tried the power and volume button trick without success.

What intrigues me is that I've kept the N7 powered on, without the charge cable in, for 3 hours with 0% battery!

I'm waiting on the retailer to advise me what to do.

How can the thing keep going for 3 hours without any battery.
Seems to me the battery status report is just plain wrong!

I confess I'm starting to regret spending so much money for problems like this!

Any advice?

Thanks

Chris

Hello mate,

I have a thread on my astronomy-optimized Nexus 7 somewhere on this site. I have red navigation bar buttons & a red keyboard to use with Sky Safari. I run it on my 8gb N7.

I've done some southern sky astronomy in SA, NSW, & Peru.

I'm not the lowest of the low, but I am the slowest of the slow (49.6 mpg over 38k miles in  Scion xB)

Hello, I've been following your thread on CloudyNights, I'll get the N7 rooted then I'll try some of your tricks!

Cheers

Chris

Hi,
My N7 32GB is in the mail so I'm learning as much as I can in advance of receiving it!
I'm primarily aiming to use my N7 for astronomy, specifically with Sky Safari and Skyeye for  'push to' guidance of my telescope; hopefully it will be successful and therefore save a lot of money on commercial systems.
I also do a lot of walking so the GPS feature with Google maps (offline) and other mapping apps will be useful.
I'm anticipating that I will learn an awful lot form everyone on this forum.
Here's hoping we all have a very productive 2013 !
Cheers
Chris
