Hi guys! So earlier today, I dropped my Nexus 7 32Gb Wifi, and it cracked. Right now I am trying to find out warranty info, but for right now, I would like to find out how to back up my Nexus 7 without using the device (the screen no longer works). If it helps, I have used carbon backup before and it is on my device.
Go to XDA develpers and go to the nexus 7 section ask the question there more people will respond and there is a guarantee card that comes with your nexus 7 unless you threw it away.
Had the same thing happen to me a few days ago. The only way I found to backup your stuff without using the screen would be to use one of the toolkits for the Nexus 7 and create a Nandroid backup (and complete backup of your ROM). You need to be rooted, obviously. Even then, you need Android debugging to be enabled on the device beforehand. Otherwise the toolkit won't recognize the device. Another way is for you to try and hook up your Nexus 7 to a display through an OTG cable, though I'm not sure how well that would work. Never tried it myself. Only used a controller through an OTG cable...
Hey maybe he still need an answer after 3 years. He was last seen in 2013 :p all that time he was starring @ the screen for that one answer...and he died behind his desk :( rest in peace @LemonsOfFury ! rest in peace! sorry we couldn't provide answers in time XD
I dont know if after 4 days this is still necessary but @Eden take my sacrifice and banish this undead thread! (if its not worth it to lock it just ignore my request lol)
