It will then prompt you with something like this: "Your device does not appear to be rooted. Install SuperSU now? This will root your device." Swipe to install and let it...

    Downgrading to 4.1.2 = Satisfaction :D

    Hi all, I've just downgraded my Nexus 7 from 4.2.2 to 4.1.2, and I'm very happy with it now. 4.2.2 has just caused so many problems for me, but downgrading to 4.1.2 has fixed ALL of them. So, if you ever find yourself having problems with your Nexus 7 while on 4.2.2 (fast battery drainage...

    CWM Recovery for Galaxy Y GT-S5360L?

    I'm wondering if there is any flashable CWM Recovery available for my device, the Samsung Galaxy Y GT-S5360L. This is something that should be noted: I tried rooting it with the 'update.zip' file for the GT-S5360, and it said "Installation Aborted". So, I then had to search for a different...

    Excess Data on Nexus 7?

    It's actually 1.8 gigs but yeah I guess you could say 2 gigs. I actually just found out that TWRP is using 623 mb of space, and I think it's for my NANDroid backup.

    Excess Data on Nexus 7?

    I'm trying to install a game called Modern Combat 4 (i'm rooted + unlocked), and before I moved the data files to my Nexus 7, it said that it had 0.95 gb used up. I moved the data files into my Nexus 7, but then I soon realized that I had moved them into the wrong directory. So, I deleted the...

    Questions about Rooting the Nexus 7

    Hi all, I've been contemplating whether or not I should root my brother's Nexus 7 using Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit. I have a few questions about the whole process too. 1) If I use the Toolkit, then do I still run the risk of hard bricking it? I really can't afford to brick it. 2) If I do brick...
