Does motherboard replacement require fresh OS install.

If I replace the MOBO with one from iFixit, do I have to install an OS from scratch? Or is there a version of Android pre-installed?

I've looked everywhere, but have yet to find an answer to this question on the web.

Since this is still flagged as unanswered and since your last name sounds vaguely familiar...

Reflashing the device is nothing to be hesitant about I've done mine myself a couple of times. Here is a guide for the process if your device is still having a problem....

A+ for effort... but that doesn't answer the question. Let me re-ask it in a more direct fashion.

Do new motherboards (for the device associated with this question) come with the OS preinstalled (any version).

FYI, I run CyanogenMod on most of my devices. I know how to flash an OS. I was looking for 'other' information that didn't appear to be available online already.

Also, are you a Cagel that hails from the Michigan area. That spelling was very popular in that area during the early 1900s.

I have no experience with the ifixit nexus 7 motherboard so I can't tell you if they clear them or send them out with old images intact or what exactly. If I was running the show they would be cleared at the very least. You should ask them the question directly here I expect... http://help.ifixit.com/article/136-email... or call during business hours ... http://help.ifixit.com/article/135-conta... . My ancestors landed in Philadelphia in 18th century and migrated south to Georgia over a few early generations and then two generations back my grandfather migrated to Oklahoma and eventually to Texas in the early 20th century. So no, no known Michigan connections other than a younger sister who moved to Frankenmuth in the 1980's. I love to visit up there too! Good luck with the device.
