Hi, Philip134... This is a known problem that's been hanging around the Nexus 7 like a bad smell since August of last year and that resolutely refuses to go away:(. For reasons which remain inexplicable, some Google Factory Stock images for the Nexus 7 ship with a version of the v4.23...

I've been using Gmail for as long as I've been using Android... 4 years and counting... and I didn't know you could do this; I guess you learn something new everyday:). Hi, Groid... Excellent tip:)... it prompted me to do a bit of Googling around, and it seems there's a whole bunch of...

Hi, Debbie Ferrante... See my attached screenshots for a visual clarification of eldersun41's post, prior to yours. In the PlayStore app, go to My Apps, and scroll horizontally from the INSTALLED tab to the ALL tab. Note the ALL tab... and the faint cross(x) symbol at the upper right hand...

Hi, ohmslaw... I feel such an idi0t right now... because you're right, it doesn't work. Not on the regular standard version of Chrome anyway. I've just tested it on both my Samsung Galaxy and my Nexus 7... which I really should have done before I hit the submit button. It only works on Chrome...

Hi, ohmslaw..., B. Diddy... Try the following... In Chrome, open a new tab. In the URL address bar, where you normally see a web address, type... chrome://flags/ This should open a special page, where many features of Chrome can be enabled, disabled or otherwise 'tweaked'. You should see a...

*** Try changing to a different USB port on your PC. *** Hi, Phill Evans... I've had similar problems myself when fastboot flashing back to factory stock... although not with the bootloader... for me, it's almost always "sending system", where everything grinds to a halt :). The solution...

Hi, dlhanna... No... not if your current bootloader is dead. YOU NEED A WORKING BOOTLOADER, TO FLASH A BOOTLOADER. The device is HARDBRICKED, and you can not enter FASTBOOT mode without one... nor will the device boot. See my more extensive reply to your question...

Hi, dlhanna... (Dave)... I really do hate writing posts like like this... I prefer questions where somebody asks "How I do...?". And I respond with "Well, go to settings, and do this..." ...or I redirect them to some other thread or website... and they respond with "Yay!.. that worked...

Hi, cerebrotecnologico... There maybe a way of getting your Nexus 7 up and running again. Your device is 'bootlooping'... which, as the name suggests, means it's stuck in an endless cycle of booting. I assume you don't have anything as exotic as a Custom Recovery, such as TWRP or CWM...

Hi, wahesc... Yes... it should be possible. Indeed, I've just recently installed it on my own Nexus 7. Tap on the following link, on your Nexus 7. It should redirect you accordingly, via the PlayStore app...

Re: Removing Roots and SU Binary?! WTF? Hi, dogday007... You should tap on the "CHECK" button at the upper right hand corner of the ROOT INFO tab of the Root Checker app you have installed. This will then give details about the root status of your device. If you're Nexus 7 is rooted with...

Re: Stuck at sending system... Hi, VSFe... 'sending system' seems to be a common problem... and one I've had myself many times. Try changing to a different USB port on your PC... this usually fixes the problem for me. If not, try another USB cable. Rgrds, Ged.

Hi, Ben Ayres... A couple of posts back in this thread, and in answer to a similar question to yours, I have explained in some detail the likely cause of the <Remote: <InvaildState> error message. It appears that the v4.23 bootloader that ships with some factory images of Android is either...

Hi, Grant Ziebell... Yes. There are known problems fastboot flashing **some** versions of the v4.23 bootloader... and that result in the error message you quote. This came to light some months ago, in this XDA thread, here... [Q] JWR66Y nakasi factory image bootloader problem -...

Hi, litfoo... The problem could be the bootloader... as seems to be the case from your output... sending 'bootloader' (3911 KB)... OKAY [ 0.484s] writing 'bootloader'... FAILED (remote: (InvalidState)) finished. total time: 0.688s rebooting into bootloader... As far back as Jellybean 4.3...
