I'm looking for some help back leveling my Nexus 7 from version 5.1.1 to 4.4.4 as I've hit a roadblock and can't figure out what I need to do next.
I downloaded and installed the Android tookkit, and the required java toolkit.
I downloaded the 4.4.4 version Nakasi for Nexus 7 wifi OS files
I was able to plug my Nexus into my PC and my PC recognized it as a Nexus 7 under portable Portable device in Device Manager
I successfully went into settings on my Nexus 7 and set it up for debugging and authorized it for my PC
I was able to run ADB DEVICES command and it successfully found my device
I was able to run the ADB REBOOT BOOTLOADER command and my Nexus showed the Bootloader settings and it said that the device was locked.
According to the instructions I have the next command I'm supposed to run with the Nexus connected to my PC is FASTBOOT OEM UNLOCK. but when I execute this command the program displays < waiting for any device >.and all it does is patiently wait but nothing happens. I have left the device plugged in and nothing happens and I tried restarted the bootloader from my nexus and nothing happens
I subsequently downloaded the Nexus Root Toolkit v2.1.5 and installed it and when I attempt to unlock the device from that tool it indicated that it cannot find the device to unlock.
So, at this point, I don't know what is going wrong and what I need to do to get the PC to recognize the device once it's in Bootloader mode. Can anyone help me?
