I have a question regarding flashing stock recovery. I didn't use this tool kit to get permanent CWM, so will this restore it regardless of CWM installation method? I deleted the recovery-from-boot-p file and after using this the file still isn't there but I tried to get into recovery mode and I got the stock one(android with red exclamation, right?).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
Did you delete the other file aswell?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bfitz26:
so installed the programs and everything and now it's the what model and build do you have in the video he says pick item 11 which is a verizon version which i have the sprint version is this something specific to the root and everything that i need to pick this item or do i pick item 16 or 17
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
Dont have a clue sorry try uninstalling/reinstalling it.

MArk.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
You need to pick the number that is relevant to your phone and not the one in the video as that was his phones build.

If you have a Sprint phone then choose 16 if you have 4.0.4 build or 17 for 4.1 build on your phone.

well i ended up doing the qbking77 method in the root method and got bootloader unlocked and when i type fastboot devices i get a non reconized command or somethng.. so how would i fix that or can i still run this method even though i alrady have a unlocked bootloader using the oem unlock bootloader command in adroid sdk??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alen02:
yes i try google it, but nothing, when i click on ToolKit.exe black screen pops and immediately disappears. then i try in cmd. start up ToolKit.exe, then i see that error

I'm trying to install the drivers, but I can not: ToolKit and PdaNet. Where is the problem? I have tried to install on Windows 7 and 8.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] corkie1:
Hi guys I wonder if ye could answer a few questions for me.

I'm running 4.0.4 on my nexus rooted using the gnex toolkit. I rooted using the toolkit from maybe last Jan/Feb. The ota update message has now come up on my phone. I guess because I'm rooted I can't just run this ota so just wondering what I should do.

Second thing is when I do get updated does all of my apps/settings/tweaks all stay the same or would I end up with a clean install effectively?

Last thing is I read somewhere that jelly bean removes the search option is this true and if so is there an app that can be downloaded to do the same?

Many thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
Windows 8 uses different settings for drivers so standard drivers wont work. You may however be able to install them in compatability mode. Have you read the manual instructions and also read the FAQ on looking in the Device Manager with the phone plugged in and setting the driver manually to the ToolKit\drivers folder?

You could also try enabling USB debugging in settings, developer options before installing the drivers.

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
An OTA will always fail if a Custom Recovery has been flashed so before starting the OTA update make sure that you have the Stock Recovery on your phone either by booting to it or flashing it from the ToolKit. The OTA should then go through fine but you will lose root. Your data shouldnt be lost but you will have to run the root procedure again if you want to regain root.

Im not sure about your last question maybe someone else can chip in with an answer to that.

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] corkie1:
Great thanks Mark. I'm not too familiar with rooting etc but is it as simple so as loading up the toolkit and there is an option there to flash stock recovery, do this, run the ota, go back to toolkit and root again?

Thanks heaps!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
Yep I would assume so I have not had alot of dealings with flashing OTA updates but that sounds right. Let me know how it goes.

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wwjoshdew:
oh man... You have a LOT of downloads on dev host! That's just crazy.

As soon as I can afford a Sprint SGS3, I'll do a video on that.

Plus, I'll try to redo this version since it roots Jelly Bean!

Only problem is, this version of Jelly Bean is already rooted! lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
LOL well I guess since toroplus isnt officially supported by google they wont receive

any OTA updates to 4.1 but I had to add 4.1 support in the ToolKit for all the functions that require insecure kernel. You do some great informational videos you should do one for the GNex ToolKit after the 7.5 update with the new Auto Update function added (for donators) ;).

13500 downloads in 4 days isnt too bad I guess there are more Nexus owners than I thought :)

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wwjoshdew:
Hmmmmm. That sounds like a PLAN! I've learned a bit since the video I made on v6.0, and how to maximize screen space to make the video of the phone bigger. Plus the audio will be better, as I'm getting better at syncing two video sources with two audio sources. :)

Oh, and thanks for the kind (positive) feedback! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Goat1202:
My Verizon GNex is currently unlocked, unrooted, and on 4.04 ICS. Do I have to root my device in order to flash Jelly Bean 4.1.1 to it with the toolkit? Also, do I have to get the necessary images from somewhere myself or are they part of the toolkit? I would like to remain unrooted if possible.

Backup Non-Rooted Vz GNex for post-root restore

Is there a way that I can backup my Verizon Nexus so I can install 4.1 and restore all my apps and data. I found this toolkit by WugFresh but im not sure if the system apps + data/shared data will restore correctly after I unlock the bootloader and root. Thanks

You're in the Sprint section too! :eek: Try your question here: http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1455
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
Just select option 2,1 to backup your installed apps. Make sure you have installed the drivers before you attempt anything and check the serial numbers show at the top in the relevant mode. I would recommend backing up your Internal Storage seperately using option 2, 3 which will pull all the data to a viewable format rather than putting it all in 1 file which you cant check.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] netbuzz:
Hi Mark and the rest,

I am expecting to receive my GNex GSM early next week. I plan on rooting it the second it arrives, but the last few posts confused me. I know this is a Sprint forum, but can't I use the Toolkit to root the GSM version?

Also, I understand that the GSM version comes with Google Wallet and there are some possible issues with going through the root process (which erases all data) that might affect Google Wallet in a future if I don't uninstall it manually before rooting. Did I get that right?

Thanks for all your work and help!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
The GNex ToolKit works for Sprint, Verizon and GSM models the only reason for the seperate threads is to differentiate device specific questions.

If yo uare getting the googleplay gnex then it will come with google wallet included. Unlocking the bootloader it what erases userdata but most if not all googleplay models dont wipe the phone on unlocking, maybe because of the google wallet issue. You should be able to unlock and root without any problems to wallet.

7.5 Bug?

Is there is a small bug with pushing files? The toolkit is looking for the path:

C:\Galaxy Nexus ToolKit\put_files_to_push_here\put_files_to_push_h ere

The problem is easily solved by creating your own "put_files_to_push_here" directory inside the existing "put_files_to_push_here" directory.

Files push fine when you create the subdirectory. If you do not create such a folder, you'll get the error you see in the attached screenshot.

Did JB change the /sdcard/ file structure?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jaydoc79:
Hi

Read through the thread, especially the post by netbuzz and the reply to it. My phone is from the play store, and already has 4.1.1 via an OTA update. So, I can root/unlock the bootloader without the risk of wiping wallet data. Do I understand that right, or no? Don't care about other data as I have had the phone for only 2 days and it has nothing of value on it at this time.

Thanks. Needed to make sure before i do something foolish.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
Thats correct im pretty sure all google play models do not wipe userdata on unlocking the bootloader so wallet data should be fine.

Dont quote me though ;)

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
Can anyone else verify this bug? I just dont get this double folder name at all when I try it everything looks as it should..

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jaydoc79:
So I took the plunge and rooted, unlocked the bootloader, installed CWM and then busybox for my takju nexus from google store with 4.1.1 on it. I am not sure if it was the rooting or the unlocking that did it - but my device did get wiped and though I lost my wallet info too, I was able to redo all my settings on it, so I am back to where I was with all the goodness of a rooted device.

Thanks mksip - great tool.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] billykxda:
Mark,

I've had a challenging journey trying to root my GNex. The biggest challenge is actually finding the time to stick with the process and troubleshooting it. I've tried a number of rooting tools/guides - none get me past the drivers.

When I use your 7.5 toolkit, your app indicates that all drivers have installed correctly (YEA!), but in the next step, my PC never recognizes my phone.

I have a VZW Gnex, bone stock, a Dell laptop running Vista, virus protection turned off. Old, related drivers uninstalled prior to running 7.5.

In your "manual" instructions, you suggest trying PDANet next. Is there anything else I should try prior to PDAnet, since your app does indicate that everything installed correctly.

Thanks much in advance for your help!

Doesn't work since 4.1.1

I used this before to root my galaxy nexus 4.0.4, but since I got the OTA for 4.1.1 it will no longer work...it just sits there saying "waiting for usb debugging to be enabled".

Running windows 7

android sdk installed

driver installed

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

I will release a full version today that asks if you want to check for updates rather than just going straight ahead with it. That way people who are having trouble connecting can bypass it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
Well this is a stupid question but have you reenabled usb debugging? I thought I better ask since you didnt say lol. Also you might want to double check your drivers are ok and maybe try a different port on your pc as they can be a bit temperamental sometimes.

You may be running a stock rom with the recovery restore files present. If you are rooted try running the 'Rename Recovery Restore Files' option (you need root for this) and then flash a custom recovery to see if it sticks.

Nexus Toolkit 7.5

Hi Mskip

I am not that good with all this obviously :)

I used the toolkit to do a backup of the sdcard and then formatted the sdcard...

Then i used the toolkit to get the backup back on the phone....but i think everyting got kinda write protected or something....cause when downloading a file i get an error not able to download...so i formatted the card again and without restoring the backup i can download to sdcard....what have i missed?

And i must really say that you made an easy to use toolkit for all of us not all that read up on all the stuff....Really great program :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Thatgrass:
I solved it by waiting, but hrres the problem:

I rooted my gnex perfectly with this, as well as unlocking booyloader.

Then I flashed cwm touch, and I booted in recovery ; and I only saw a dead android.. with a triangle, and nothing happened, only after waiting it disappeared and it booted as normal, after that I flashed cwm again and it worked, what should I do when I see the android with triangle on it?

I thought had read somewhere about it...

UPDATE FOR GALAXY NEXUS TOOLKIT TO V7.6

ChangeLog:

ToolKit v7.6 (29th July 2012)

+Added Stock Recovery image for Jelly Bean builds

+Added option to check for Updates at startup or bypass Update check and go straight to the Model Selection Screen

+Updated uninversal drivers to 0.7

+Updated driver commands for Windows XP 32bit

+Updated CWM Touch Recovery to 6.0.1.0

+Updated TWRP Recovery to 2.2.0

+Added google stock image links to 4.1.1 for yakju and takju models in the Downloads Screen

+Added option to flash google image after it has been downloaded via the ToolKit

+Minor edits and fixes

This version now makes it easier than ever to download and flash a 4.1.1 google stock image to your phone. Yakju and Takju images are only available but if toro is released by google I will update the ToolKit ASAP.

More info and Download links in the first post as usual.

Enjoy :)

Mark.

NOTE: The server that is hosting my files has gone down and is taking a few days to get everything up and running again. Unfortunately my files have not been restored yet so the update checker file cannot be downloaded and I cannot upload the latest Auto Update as my password isnt being recognised by the ftp server. If it has not been resolved by today I will look into alternative hosting as I am getting ALOT of people asking this question.

As soon as everything is up again I can upload the Auto Update file and will post in the threads. If you want to update to v7.6 right now then the full download is available in the first post.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dabeaner:
I didn't see this mentioned yet, but I installed v7.6 of the toolkit. Looks like there's a small issue where it tries to look for CWM Touch Recovery 6.0.0.5 rather than 6.0.1.0 when you try to flash it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
Did you select option 1 or 2 in the Model Selection Screen? I just looked and forgot to change those 2 models to the 6.0.1.0 version. If you just want to flash cwm touch then select 3 and it will flash fine. I will make a small fix and reupload 7.6 this morning.

1708 downloads in just under 8 hours (from 2:15am - 10am) I think we have a pretty strong user base now :)

UPDATE TOOLKIT TO V7.7 (31ST JULY 2012)

ChangeLog:

ToolKit v7.7 (31st July 2012)

+Fixed Auto Updates not installing from V7.6

+Enabled 'Quick Pick' option in Main Menu and added some info

+Enabled non English OS support to open Internet Explorer for people who want to donate

+Updater will now only update from the last released version to cut download size (this may mean you get a few incremental updates if you have a very old version

+Installer will automatically clean folders before installing (will not delete folders that may contain roms or user files) so no need to uninstall between builds

This release is mainly to fix an edit I made which meant Auto Updates could not be installed however I didnt want to post just that so I thought I would add some more things while I was at it lol.

Make sure to read the info page on the 'Quick Pick' feature and let me know if it sounds ok.
