Step 3 - Please make sure Fastboot is configured and properly installed on your computer. How? See here: How to Set Up ADB and Fastboot with Android SDK. Step 4 - Turn OFF your tablet. Step 5 - Get into the Fastboot/Bootloader Mode on your device. Turn ON the tablet while pressing and holding the Volume Up + Power buttons till you see the Fastboot menu and START on top. Step 6 - Now extract the downloaded file anywhere in your computer. Go to the folder razor-LPX13D and then copy/paste all the files to your Fastboot directory. Note: If you followed our tutorial on setting up Fastboot on your computer, there is a 99% chance your Fastboot directory will be the platform-tools folder in your Android SDK directory. Step 7 - From the factory image files in your Fastboot directory, do the following depending which OS you are on: On Windows: Run the file “flash-all.bat”. On Mac: Run the file “flash-all.sh” using Terminal. On Linux: Run the file “flash-all.sh”. Step 8 - That’s pretty much that you had to do for flashing the stock factory image on your Nexus 7. Now wait and watch as the process is completed — or follow the on-screen instructions on your tablet if in case you have to unlock the bootloader. Step 9 - After the installation completes, your tablet will boot now and it might take about 5 minutes to boot on your first time. So, please wait with patience! That’s it! Your Nexus 7 should now have the official Android 5.0 LPX13D Developer Preview installed on your tablet! Go to Settings >About tablet to verify. |
