Download the Google Glass XE7 update and flash it to your unit using ADB
Yesterday, a new upgrade for Google Glass Explorer units rolled out. It is version XE7, and brought with it some very interesting features. Specifically, it brings the ability to browse the web, with full zooming and scrolling ability. There are also a few new chains in voice command, like the ability to tell Glass to read a message aloud, or answer a call.
The update took a while to propagate to all Explorer units, but if you haven’t been able to get it yet you’ll be happy to know that the factory image is now available for download. You’ll need to flash it using ADB after gaining root access, though. Use these commands to gain root:
$ adb reboot bootloader $ fastboot oem unlock $ fastboot flash boot boot.img $ fastboot reboot $ adb root
After that, you’re free to flash it just as you would any of the previous updates. Go ahead and give it a shot if you don’t already have it, and let us know how XE7 is treating you in the comments section below! Head to the source link for the downloads.
