Unlock Google Nexus 7 Email Lock




Nexus 7 is a perfect android tablet at perfect price, the thing that made me cry in anger is that , when my nexus 7 went on email login process , after someone made wrong entries, unfortunately my wifi was turned off and , I couldn't login to my tablet.  

There is a solution to it but you have to lose all your data , but you can get you apps back if you register using same email again



First Step 

DOWNLOAD Nexus 7 Tool Kit



The first thing you need to do is to install the adb/fastboot drivers. These are needed so that you can unlock your bootloader, root your phone and flash CWM (ClockworkMod) Recovery. 



THE DRIVERS CAN NOW BE INSTALLED DIRECTLY VIA THE TOOLKIT. OPTION 1 IN THE MAIN MENU. 
IF YOU HAVE ANY TROUBLE WITH THE TOOLKIT INSTALLING THE DRIVERS PLEASE POST IN THIS THREAD WITH YOUR OPERATING SYSTEM VERSION AND ERROR MESSAGE.



a. If you dont want to use the ToolKit to install the drivers then the best best drivers to try are PdaNet for Android, download and run the 32-bit Windows 7/Vista/XP or 64-bit Windows 7/Vista and follow the instructions to install (selecting Samsung as your device manufacturer if asked). 



You can remove pdanet for Android from your phone and pc at a later time without removing the drivers. 



b. After the drivers have been installed disconnect the usb cable and shut down your phone. Keep holding the 'Volume Up' and 'Volume Down' buttons and press the 'Power' button to boot the phone into FastBoot Mode.



c. Goto your Control Panel on your PC and open the Device Manager. You want this open so you can see the FastBoot driver is installed or so you can install it manually.



d. Connect the usb cable. In the Device Manager a new item called 'Android 1.0' should pop up and then the driver should install automatically. Once it is installed you will have a new section in the Device Manager called Android Phone without an "!" meaning its installed correctly.


MAKE SURE YOU ENABLE USB DEBUGGING IN SETTINGS, DEVELOPER OPTIONS BEFORE CONNECTING THE USB CABLE IN ADB MODE SO THAT THE PC CAN DETECT THE PHONE PROPERLY.



After  installing drivers and software, open nexus 7 toolkit 

Press 3.


Press 1

Then there will be a set of informations, after doing that press "YES" and you Nexus 7 gets unlocked , register use the previous email , you all apps get restored.
