On June 27, 2012, at the annual Google I / O conference, a new device from Google was announced together with Asus - the Asus Nexus 7 tablet. This is already a tradition. At this conference, Google presents its new gadget (sometimes more than one), and also presents new version Android. And of course, first of all, the updated droid is put on new tablet. In general, let's see what kind of tablet the global corporation actually came out with.

Appearance

Nexus 7. Front, back, side view

Nexus 7 immediately catches the eye when you see it in the store on the shelf among the tablets. And not because it is trendy, just in size it is more suitable for the type of smartphones. This will fit even in the spacious pocket of your pants. Otherwise, the nexus 7 tablet is not isolated in any way: Soft-touch plastic, IPS screen in 7 '(1200x800), one, front-camera etc.

Buttons, connectors and more

On such small device there is everything you need, but there is no slot for microSD, therefore, without a 32-gigabyte model, there is no way. In addition, they are also divided into versions with 3G and without 3G. Well, who needs a device with only Wi-Fi? So I will consider Nexus 7 at 32 gigabytes and with 3G.

In addition to the all-important SIM card, there are, of course, other controls. On the bottom side, there are 2 connectors (micro-USB and 3.5mm for headphones). On the right side, there are 2 friendly buttons - volume and power. Also, let's not forget about the speaker and the camera, we have them on different planes. The peephole is only 1.2MP, but the speaker is not bad when compared with other tablets.

Note: You will not find anything but a tablet, a couple of pieces of paper, a USB cable and a charger inside the Nexus 7 box.

Hardware data

The Asus Nexus 7 32gb tablet, you see, is small in size when compared with other similar gadgets. I think there is a certain line between what Google expects and what the technology is capable of today. So let's get down to the facts.

The foundation

Nvidia Tegra logo

Here, in the center, we have a quad-core Nvidia Tegra 3 processor (1.2 GHz). It comes with a graph by default. accelerator NVIDIA GeForce ULP, which is on a par with mali 400 and adreno 225. The tablet also has 1 gigabyte of RAM and 32 internal memory (now we are not considering the 16GB version). Of course, we take into account that Android 4.2 "eats" 4.5GB, while leaving about 27.5GB

Other

We have "soldered" to the board standard set modules and gadgets (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 3.0, 3G, light sensor, accelerometer), but, probably, the main thing after the foundation is the battery. The Asus Nexus 7 tablet has a charge for as much as 10 hours of active use. I don’t know how, but the speaker, microphone and camera, which we have already talked about, fit to the heap, but still.

Note: if you are interested in the parameters of the latest, recently released Nexus 7 model, see the end of the article.

Firmware

Today we are going to flash TWRP 2.6.0.0 touch recovery, but before that you will need to make a "Backup" and unlock the bootloader.

Menu for developers

Go to developer settings. If you do not have them, go to "About the tablet PC" and there click 7 times on "Build number", the menu will appear. In it, you need to check the box above "enable USB debugging mode".

• Connect your Nexus 7 tablet to your computer or laptop using a USB cable.
• Now you need to download and install the driver for the device so that Windows can recognize it (of course, if the driver was not installed automatically (works only on Windows persons)). We download at the office. Asus website: http://ru.asus.com/Tablet/Nexus/Nexus_7/#download . After downloading, you need to unzip. Now we go into the dispatcher, we find our device with an exclamation or question mark under the icon. Now double-click on the icon and follow this sequence Update driver => Search for drivers on this computer => Select drivers from the list installed drivers. => Install from disk, and now select our unzipped driver.
• We go to the command Windows line as shown in the picture. To do this, hold down Shift and click right click mice.

A way to quickly open a command prompt

• Next, enter the following: "adb backup" - the command itself, -noapk, -nosystem, -all - mode (preferably -all, but you can make several backups, respectively, select all modes (this is even better)) and -f followed by a space and destination and file name, for example C:\backup20111230.ab(.ab is required!).
• The Google Nexus 7 tablet will display a message. Enter the password and confirm the backup.

Back up ready! Recovery through it is almost the same as creation. Only the beginning needs to recover earlier installed applications through Google Play. And also, instead of the previous command in cmd.exe, put "adb restore c:\backup20111230.ab". The rest of the procedure is unchanged.

Unlock bootloader(s)

We will also need this for flashing.

Attention: all data on the tablet will be deleted. That's why we did Back up. But you don’t have everything you need on the .ab file, transfer it manually from the tablet in advance.

• Now we enter the most important command - "fastboot oem unlock". After it, the tablet will require confirmation of unlocking, select "yes" (using the control buttons in fastboot mode is the volume control and the power button).
• Now we can assume that we have successfully unlocked our tablet Google nexus 7.

Recovery

We will install TWRP 2.6.0.0 touch recovery, you can use any other available for Nexus 7, the technology does not change.

1. First of all, download the recovery we need. It must be placed in the tools folder, which in turn is located in the folder with fastboot (th).
2. Now we launch the command line and connect the tablet, as in paragraphs 2-4 of the chapter "Unlocking the bootloader (a)".
3. Enter the command "fastboot flash recovery" followed by the name of the recovery with ".img" at the end, for example "fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-tilapia.img"
4. In fastboot device mode, without turning it off or rebooting, go to recovery
5. Select the Reboot system item (after the firmware process is completed), confirm the choice.

All. So we put the Recovery we need.

Tip: experiment with firmware after the warranty expires, if you don't really need it

Root rights

Since the nexus 7 3g tablet has a TWRP recovery, we will root it accordingly. The procedure is also similar to other recovery.

1. Download the file for superuser rights: http://download.chainfire.eu/342/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.43.zip
2. We throw it in the root of the device.
3. We put the device into fastboot mode.
4. We go into the recovery and select "install zip from sdcard", and then "chooze zip from sdcard" and now our archive is "UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.43"
5. Click on the "on" button and the process begins. At the end of it, you need to reboot the tablet by selecting Reboot system.

That's it, you can check your asus nexus 7 3g tablet, it now has root rights.

3G setting

We are now considering a version with 3G, so we will not suffer with 3G modems. All that is needed is to set up Third Generation(3G).

Go to settings, "more", " mobile network” and in access points it will be necessary to create a new one, if it does not exist. And the settings for this point are in the upper right corner.

Name: MTC (instead of Beeline, depending on the operator: BeeLine Internet, gdata (Beeline and Megafon)).
APM: internet.mtc.ru(internet.beeline.ru, internet);
Password: mtc(beeline, gdata);
MCC: 250(For Belarus 257, for Ukraine 255);
MNC: 01 (or another 02, as well as a separate five-digit number for each operator);
APN protocol: .

We save these settings and use our 3G.
