Newbie question

I'm just about ready to "One Click Root".

My only question is once the root process is complete do I need to flash a custom/stock ROM or will the stock Sprint Rom already be installed?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blankit:
first link is not working just putting it out there

---------- Post added at 03:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:32 AM ----------

it will already be installed it just roots your phone....so you can put a custom rom..it will not wipe the rom unless you do that yourself through a custom recovery
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chilump:
Thanks blankit!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scarmon25:
Seriously great ToolKit. It will remain on my PC forever. I just got my gnex the other day. Looked through the threads to see what all was available. Came to stickies first and saw it. Within about five minutes unlocked, rooted, and booted. Could not be happier. Gonna keep an eye out for update. Once I get a decent job I will have to donate.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 4lph4num3r1c:
I'm having the same problems as jurassic98 but my bootloader is unlocked. Every ROM i load and every backup i try just bootloops. Halfway through the boot animation and goes back to the Google screen. Will this toolkit help?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AnthonyAldrete:
I'm trying to unlock the boot loader on my sprint galaxy nexus and when i select to reboot into fastboot it does and then hangs on "waiting for device" and the phone remains in fastboot ? shouldnt it jump straight to the screen to select "yes" to unlock the bootloader?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] airtime82:
I think maybe its just not recognizing your phone. Try a different USB port or cable. Also try restarting your PC then trying.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jurassic98:
This is jurassic98. Lucky you .. Your bootloader is unlocked...Yes. you can pull your files/photos.

Check this thread that I created. Page 2 step 6,7

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1856188&page=2

Pay attention to

6) Type: fastboot boot recovery.img

7) Type: adb pull /sdcard

Unlucky me.. I am not sure what to do... I do not want to lose my baby photos

The closest article that I almost thought that could help me is

"BootUnlocker for Galaxy Nexus -- version 1.1"

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1731993

But it said my phone must be root it! (root mean you have already unlock then relock bootloader)

Any ideas?

Please help
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tolisan:
i have problems to backup my phone, at adb mode i can see a attached device.

at backup, when normaly the confirm prompt pops up to start the backup on my gnex, nothing happens.

a few weeks ago i had no problems to backup with ure tool.

i tried to backup via "cmd" "adb backup -all -noshared etc..", not working too.

the rom i currently use is: androidme 1.9.0

maybe its a problem with the rom?

anyways thanks for this great tool!

*** EDIT: i flahes another rom and now its working ***
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TonyTurboII:
This is a absolutely fantastic tool. I plan on maximizing it over the next few days as well as sending some beer/hooker money your way.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PsychoHazard:
I just got the official OTA update to Jelly Bean on my Sprint GNex, and it brought me up to Android 4.1.1 (Build JRO03U), currently the tool only lists Android 4.1 (Build JRN84D) on the Sprint model. Will that still work for unlocking/rooting, or should I wait until a new version comes out that supports Android 4.1.1 (Build JRO03U)?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neuroval:
I re-rooted with option 17 just fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TrusterX:
Backup virutal SD Card won't work on 4.1.1 because /data/media doen't exist. it's /storage/sdcard0 or /sdcard on my system - 100% stock with open bootloader
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PsychoHazard:
Thanks! I'm now rooted and beginning to customize my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bfitz26:
i actually had the same question lol.. after option 17 did you unlock it one by one for example unlock bootloader then flash the img for recovery then flash the su zip?

---------- Post added at 04:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:47 PM ----------

so in the nexus toolkit 7.80 it mentions choose your model and build and my jellybean build is not in there mine is jr003u and the build on the tool in jrn84d is this going to make a difference is the rooting proccess i don't think so just wanted to make sure..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simontahiti:

This is great! Got my Galaxy Nexus today...Kogan purchase in Australia. Now running Jelly Bean and loving it. I just donated 3 pounds via PayPal. I hope it's enough to buy you a beer.

It shouldnt make any difference to the procedure and the image is only booted (not flashed permanently) so if anything does hang just pull the battery and reboot and everything will be working again.

NEW AUTO UPDATE AVAILABLE VIA TOOLKIT [V8.0.0 - 12TH SEPT 2012]

+Added NEW 'Quick Picks' Donators Feature [10 available Slots, 6 programmable Tasks to choose from]

+Improved Flash/Boot .img file stability

+Re-wrote lots of procedures to incorporate the 'Quick Picks' Feature

+Fixed lots of minor parts to improve the ToolKit operation

I have also moved to a new Web Hosting Site which should improved Auto Updates and end the site not being found problem faced by certain users.

I will be uploading V8.0.0 as a full download in a few days once I get feedback and know everything is working properly. There have been ALOT of additions and improvements since the last public release so it will be a good one.

For users who still cannot access the Auto Update from the ToolKit I will post the link in the google+ circle.

P.S. Please let me know what you think of the Quick Picks Feature as I have worked on it constantly for a week to get everything working and re-written half the ToolKit to incorporate it into the various Tasks. If I have missed one that is worth adding to the Tasks then let me know.

Thank you.

You happily got my cash.

Where do I get the toolkit unlock code? I would guess you will email it to me in response to my paypal?

Also, when I tell 7.8 to check for an update, it finds it, but does not update. Am I missing something? Is that a donate only feature?

I also noticed you make this tool for the S3. Had a couple of coworkers of mine asking me to root their S3s. I told em $10 a pop, with the funds going straight to you. No takers yet, lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vhgomez36:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wwjoshdew:
My wife will be using my Evo 4G LTE (after the end of this week), so I'll make an updated video of this toolkit, as you requested! :)

I need to make an unroot (flash stock) videos, and more. This time around, it'll be better than my old video based around 6.0.

It'll be very similar to my SGS3 Root video, as I've learned to place the windows better, so that my overlay can be bigger. (Overlay being the video of the phone). Like how the phone is narrow, and I cropped the sides of the overlay, to fit it in the video better.

Yeah... It's going to much better than that video! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
Nice one mate I will have to talk to you about the key areas that would be good to cover (in more detail) such as the Quick Unroot (flashing zip via cwm) which is a good way of unrooting quickly without having to flash a Stock Rom and wiping.

I am pushing an Auto Update to v8.1.0 this morning as I uploaded all the older Google Stock images back to goo.im and added them back into the ToolKit and also fixed a problem (my fault) with the tar creator skipping to drivers install before creating the file.

You can use that version for your video :D

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wwjoshdew:
I will do my best to get to it next week. Tethering my laptop to my SGS3 FAR FAR away from home. Things will go back to normal after this week. So I take it you like the videos? lol. I work hard on them and do my best to make high quality content. The camera and screen recording software together make a pretty good video. Plus I've learned from previous experiences how to do things better. I'm always trying to improve. Pointing my camera at my laptop was so 2011! lol. Those wavy lines are killer and are distracting to me. Hit me up on gtalk if you want. My gmail shouldn't be to hard to figure out! :)

Your videos are very high quality and well thought out. Im always asked to make some walkthrough videos about each function in the toolkits such as ones not covered in reviews but really dont have the time to make and edit that number of videos right now lol.

I think you need to check your server for the auto updater. I have the donation version and the updater keeps stalling. Its sitting on 9 hours ETA right now. I have a very good cable connection.

What version are you updating from?

I just tested the latest Auto Update and it downloaded at full speed but havent checked the V7.8 - V8.0 update file in a while so I will check it now and report back.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] georgiapi:
Here is a screen shot as it sits. Been doing this for days.

It starts and stops.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
Hmm I have had a couple of people messaging me about slow (to non existent) download speed for Auto Updates. I really don't know what I can do as everyone else seems to be downloading the file normally without any problems and I double checked it this morning and went from 7.8 to 8.0 and from 8.0 to 8.2 within a minute. The Auto Update files are stored with a Europe wide Hosting Site (1and1) so im quite confused as to why these few people cannot complete the Auto Update.

The only thing I can suggest is to check the toolkits Google+ circle where I will post direct links to the files needed to go from 7.8 to 8.2 and if you cannot download those I will put them somewhere else like mediafire.

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] georgiapi:
Just read you're reply and then tried again and its like night and day. Updated in the time same as you. Go figure. I have been trying to update since I got my replacement GN on Tuesday. I had to use another kit. But kept after trying to update this one.

buddy bricked his nexus s i can get to bootloader mode and stock recovery but when i try to boot it starts the flipping tiles then stops shows "google" then tries again. any advice would be great

TIA
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] georgiapi:
Then Gnex Toolkit may be your ticket.

Install it and connect the USB and try to flash a stock image.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xanmanz31:
is this a reply to my post not sure since you didnt quote? if so would i flash the stock img through odin? i cant mount storage. i guess i could flash through fastboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] georgiapi:
Yes, That tool saved my bacon a few times when I could not flash Jb from ics. I was experimenting and soft bricked several times.

If you can get it to communicate with the device you may be able to flash it back to stock and save it.

My device never took JB. Not even the OTA. Verizon replaced it. I was doing all kind of stuff and between those tools I managed to get back to my ics somehow.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xanmanz31:
where can i get the stock img for sprint all the toolkit has is verizon last time i tried chosing option 11 with no luck

---------- Post added at 03:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:21 AM ----------

so i tried to flash custom recovery with tool kit and it said completed but when i try to boot recovery it just sits at google with unlocked pad lock i assume thats unlocked bootloader i got last time i ran tool kit. i have a feeling partitions are jacked any way to reset them?

so when i try to flash stock rom via fastboot it says failed "unknown partition" it fails at writing img
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
What exactly have you tried to do with the Toolkit? You do realise that this Toolkit is for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus and NOT the Nexus S? They are 2 completely different phones that use different images.

However the stock google images are the same as I helped someone else with a Nexus S unbrick his phone using the ToolKit. If you go to https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images and download the stock image for the model of phone, then copy the file (unzipped) to the 'put_google_factory_image_here' folder, boot the phone into fastboot mode and select the flash stock image option then it will flash the stock image and unbrick the device.

If fastboot mode isnt showing a serial number then make sure the drivers are installed.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
If your partitions are screwed then look for the Odin image which is somewhere in the development forum. Ideally you would need the pit file to reset the partitions but it may work without them.

No you cannot root without unlocking as you have to unlock the bootloader in order to boot/flash the images needed to root.

For an OTA to work you will need to unroot and make sure stock recovery is on your device.

I sure hope people throw you some bones! I donated a while back, but not through the toolkit. I emailed you a few weeks ago, but never got a reply, I know you're busy and dealing with a lot. Do I need to donate again through the toolkit, or is there a way to get the auto updates? I do plan on donating again, I'm just broke!

Hey, I'm getting the Note 2 on Sprint in a few days when it launches (I get paid like the day before it comes out). Is there any change you'll make a toolkit for that as well? You're an amazing person, and I'd love to do some Note 2 videos using your toolkit! My Wife will be using my SGS3 (she HATED the Evo 4G LTE. She quickly went back to her Nexus), so I WILL be doing videos of this 9.0.0 toolkit soon! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
Hey mate sorry I didnt reply I have been losing some emails (or paypal not forwarding to my email properly) so I will pm you right after finishing this with an activation code for the GNex Toolkit.

I already have the Note2 Toolkit out and im pretty sure hardware is staying the same across the world this time so as soon as I can get a firmware image for the various versions I will add them to the Toolkit right away. I always try to support as many of the carriers as I can within each Toolkit.

My wife has my S3 now when I moved up to the Note2. When I got the GNex out the other night to test the update it felt tiny in comparison lol you soon get used to the larger size ;)
