Android Lollipop is the new major version of the system Google’s mobile OS. It comes installed on the new Nexus Nexus 6 and 9 and will arrive in the coming months in the form of upgrading to a number of devices from all manufacturers. Before Google will launch in early November OTA the update for terminals with “pure” Google Android Nexus Edition and above, from the Nexus 4 and up.
Among them , includes his latest medium format tablet sold in 2013 to which we will devote this article Lollipop installing Android Nexus 7 based on the developer version Android 5.0 SDK Lollipop and images with the system ( Nexus 5 and Nexus 7), published by Google in the announcement of the new version of Android.
The standard installation requires installing on PC development tools necessary setting the ADB + Variable Path, enabling the development & debugging options on the Nexus and other actions. Difficult for the user to walk but if you dare, you can check complete guides in Spanish as offered by friends HTCMania.
We have used another technique that facilitates the task but in any case is not trivial, requires some knowledge, you end up with a brick on the device and it does not is covered by the warranty. If you do not want complications just wait for the OTA update. If you want to perform ( UNDER YOUR RESPONSIBILITY ) to try and test or just curious, below:
The first is to download the ROM you will use based on the latest public that corresponds to the above 5.0 for developers but this time perfectly ready to flash. This is flashable Android 5.0 Lollipop lpx13d pack and how could it be otherwise downloaded from the great global cuisine that is xda-developers.
Then download and install the Nexus Root Toolkit application, a great tool that works for all devices Nexus that allows your PC to unlock the bootloader, become root and flash custom rom. Also install applications, restore stock versions or kernels, or simply make or restore backups.
The application works great and is so powerful as you see in the picture but need a number of preliminary steps to be made one. These include the activation of the hidden options of USB development and debugging, plus the installation and configuration of drivers that allow us to connect to the Nexus 7 via USB. Deserve an tutorial but not the subject of the article. I leave you with a video tutorial guide that although English is very intuitive:
Once connected and not without having done the required backup your device, press the ‘unlock’ button to unlock the bootloader. Of course, with the Nexus not have any problem to unlock your bootloader. Something that may be more complicated if other manufacturers as it seems the charger block measures seguroidad this Android 5.0 impede their release.
The next step is to activate ‘root’ with ‘Custom Recovery’ option to install one of the best recovery environments to be used in the Nexus, TWRP. The terminal reboots and and so we prepared to flash the ROM from the same recovery, and other features that you will know if you used custom ROMs on any Android device.
