frustrated

okay so i've tried a couple of different root methods and none are working, I get hung on the google splash screen when I'm trying to actually root the phone... on the google slash screen it shows the unlocked icon and to the left in the bottom corner it says "fastboot status - okay" and then toolkit just says waiting for device.. (yes i have all my drivers installed, i even tried manually on linux and still a no go) When I tried another root method I'd get hung on this screen while trying to push a recovery IMG to flash my SU binaries.... Idk if that matters or not but i thought I'd give as much info as possible..

now I also just bought the phone off craigslist, is there any possibility that i can root because of some kind of damage that was done to the phone or something?

What operating system is your pc running?

Are you seeing the serial number at the top of the Main Menu when in fastboot mode and adb Mode? Have you double checked in the Device Manager that your drivers have installed properly when connected in both modes?

Also are you selecting the correct device type and build in the Model Selection screen so the ToolKit can boot the correct insecure boot image for rooting?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
So if your vol down button is stuck im assuming you can still get into fastboot mode on your phone which still gives us of flashing back to stock. Im not sure if having that button permanently down affects drivers or flashing operation but I wouldnt think so.

If you open the Device Manager when your phone is in fastboot mode and plug/unplug the usb cable 3 or 4 times to make sure which is the correct device to work with then right click on it and manually point to the ToolKit/drivers folder just to double check.

Also have you thought about getting a can of compressed air (such as is used to clean keyboard) and spraying it around the edge of the volume button just to see if it can dislodge whatever is making it stick?

If nothing at all is working then you may have to just bite the bullet and send it in as it is and pay to get it fixed.

BIG UPDATE FOR THE GALAXY NEXUS TOOLKIT!!

When I first started this project I wanted to be able to backup a system directly to the PC so as many backups could be taken as needed and they wouldnt take up any valuable space on your Internal Storage. That function has now finally been added :)

ChangeLog:

ToolKit v7.0 (31st May 2012) BIG UPDATE!

+Added ability to perform a FULL NANDROID Backup of your system (Boot img, Cache tar, Data tar excluding Virtual SD Card, Recovery img and System tar) via adb and save in Custom Recovery format on your PC which can be Restored via CWM Recovery

+ Added /data and /system folders backup, compress to a .tar file and save to your PC

+ Added Backup/Restore of your /efs partition

+ Added Dump of selected Phone Partitions, compress to a .zip file with md5 and save to your PC

+ Added Install BusyBox binary on your phone

+ Moved backup/restore options to a single screen

+ Tidied up alot of text on screens

As usual download links can be found on the first post and if you find the ToolKit useful ALL donations are still going to my wifes Cancer Research charity as we are trying to raise as much as possible for them :)

Windows 7, to answer all your questions yes my drivers are installed properly, and if it was something to do with drivers then when I tried to manually push it through Linux it wouldn't get stuck in the same place. And of course I am picking the right device, #13, the only one to pick for sprint
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmj12345:
Thanks Mark. When my phone is in Android, the toolkit can see it just fine in ADB mode and send commands to it to reboot into fastboot mode, etc. When I reboot into the bootloader and then connect the phone though, it comes up as "unknown device". When I point it manually at the toolkit/drivers folder, it says "the best driver for this device is already installed etc etc". Lots of stuff I've read says that it should come up as "Android 1.0" and from there pointing it to the drivers folder should work. I have no idea why I'm having so much trouble getting the drivers working when in fastboot mode.

Is having the computer able to send commands to the phone while in bootloader the only possible way to flash back to stock? I'm willing to try anything at this point. Also, the button isn't physically stuck down or anything, the phone just thinks it is. I tried the canned air already though just in case.

DAMN IT. I wish I could by you another beer, but I can't. To many bills due today! It's payday, but I'll be broke when the wife gets up and starts paying bills. DAMN BILLS.

Anyways, I have the EVO 4G LTE and I'm probably gonna end up giving it to the wife, and using her Sprint Galaxy Nexus. I truly love the openness of it, and being able to access anything and everything, then just re-lock it if it's messing up, and get a new one! :)

Well that is unless THIS or THIS is CM9 for this beautiful Evo 4G LTE! :)

STOP making me update the links in my description! lol

Mark....

I minor "bug" if you will. Until you manually create the "Backups" sub-folder, any attempt to dump logfiles will fail. Not sure this really a bug per-se, but I still figured I'd mention it.

EDIT*** If you do a data/system backup, the script creates the backups folder for you (obviously, as you designed it) and you're good-to-go. It's only if the backups folder doesn't exist AND you first attempt the log dump that fails.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
The backups folder is automatically created when you install the ToolKit (a script is included in the install package) so that should never be a problem.

Did you not have a backups folder when you installed the ToolKit? I just tested it by installing to a fresh location and all folders were created without problem.

Mark.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cyaiphone:
Is there a reason why this isn't included in the instructions?

I believe a good teacher gives detailed step by step instructions that even someone who just purchased their first ever smart phone would be able to understand and follow. A lot of the guides on XDA make assumptions that everyone reading them knows what they're doing. And at one point you didn't know what you were doing so don't say they should know, because that's what they're here for is to learn. But its hard for them to learn when Guides are made with assumptions.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dougxd:
You know what????....I've been simply extracting the archive and running it that way. Old habit of avoiding exe's that might be contaminated. Not saying yours is, just an old habit. Running the exe works like you said.....backup folder is there. I'll do that from now on :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
Are you actually being serious?

Im not proclaiming to be a teacher but teachers expect that their students will have at least enough intelligence to ask a question if something comes along that they arent sure about. You are correct when I first started out in xda I had absolutely no clue what I was doing and back then in Windows Mobile even the simplest of procedures consisted of 'browsing to a thread, reading the thread, clicking on a link to another thread and repeat about 10 times'. By the time I had enough information to flash hardspl to my first phone I had at least 10-15 pages all linking to different parts of the same procedure which is why I decided to collate all the required information and write my first flashing tutorial for the HTC Hermes (very old phone now). I have written flashing guides and other tutorials now for about 5 or 6 different phones and always try to make everything as easy as possible for even the newbiest newb and the ToolKit is the next evolution of simplicity for phone users.

What I am trying to get at is that even I (and im probably one of the most easy going guys you will find on here) expect my users to search for an answer if they have a problem and if they cant find one then they are more than welcome to ask and I will give my time and knowledge to helping them as I have done for thousands of people. Problems start when people 'expect' all their questions to be answered for them without making any effort to find the answer first.

If you had just asked for some information to be added to the ToolKit I wouldnt have had to write all that but then having a go at me for not automatically including it when I have spent 5 months trying to make Nexus users lives as easy as possible isnt the best way to go about things :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
Oops haha yeah I had to add some post installation commands to create empty folders for the various fucntions of the ToolKit. Also to run a batch file to clean some files left over from a previous installation so the latest version doesnt inherit any incorrect settings. There is nothing malicious in the installation and its the best way to go ;)

Glad you sorted out why you had no backups folder though lol.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Feenx888:
Hey mskip,

First let me thank you for this great toolkit you made. The Gnex is my first smartphone and I used your toolkit for unlocking, rooting, CWM, making my first nandroid, push bootanimations.

Now I had a quick question, knowing that the nandroid is pushed to the pc once its done I noticed that a nandroid.md5 file is kept on the phone. I do believe this file must stay there if I wanna reinstall my nandroid back?

And I was about to flash a new radio and wanted to use your tool, for the fun of it instead of using the fastboot flash radio radiofilename.img. I was just wondering if when selecting flashing, if at some point I have to put in the radio par of the line command. I know there is RADIO, RECOVERY and HBOOT.

Again thanks for the toolkit, helped to understand how things worked on my Gnex. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
Nope I just forgot to add the command to delete the md5 file from the phone after the procedure finished lol I have updated it for the next version and its quite safe to delete without affecting any backup/restore :)

If you want to flash an image via the ToolKit then it will first ask you if you want to boot the image (only on your phone until the next boot and for boot and recovery images mainly) or flash the image (permanently flashes it to your phone). If you select flash you will then be asked which partition you want to flash the image to. You can select the Radio or Radio-CDMA (for lte devices only) partition from that list.

I can confirm that everything on this toolkit works as far as rooting, unlocking, flashing radios, nandroid, backing up everything.

So no worry for anybody to use this toolkit.

SD Card Restore - Can't delete from standard sdcard directory

I had to update my LTE GNex from 4.0.4 <Build IMM30B> to 4.0.4 <Build IMM76K>. I wanted to load the stock Google image, so I did a full backup, Titanium, Nandroid, & SD Card backup... ALL from your toolkit. Much easier than the OG droid days.

After a successful install, and restore of all my apps & data, I noticed that I couldn't delete anything from the sdcard folder. (using es File Explorer). Newly added files could be deleted, but all of the restored files could not. I then used Root Explorer to check permissions / ownership and everything seemed correct. Then I remembered that the virtual sd card was actually located in the data/media directory. From this location I could delete files.

My question is this, How do I fix it so that I can delete files from the standard sdcard location, as opposed to drilling into the data/media directory?

Thanks for the great piece of software, and keep up the good work!

Try rebooting the phone a few times that should fix it. I dont know why that happens on a few phones but not others so its not something I can debug very easily.

I assume there is no way to unlock the bootloader and root my GSM galaxy nexus 4.0.4 (purchased from google play) without having admin rights on my PC. I just wanted to check. I am unable to install drivers without admin rights. Anyone know of a workaround? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rally187:
thanks for the toolkit everything seems to work very good but i am having an issue with my CWM sticking. i flashing it through the flash.img option and after it flashed i was able to boot into it just fine but when i restarted my phone and tried to get back into it i just get an android with a red triangle. any ideas?

UPDATE: I figured it out... actually i just read ur instruction at the top of the screen. sorry for the post but ill leave it just in case someone else has this issue...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
To do anything via adb/fastboot you need the drivers installed on your pc and for that you need to be logged in with an admin account so unless you can do that theres not much you can do.

Can you get access to another pc?

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
Yes its always good to read the instructions before you do anything lol ;)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wwjoshdew:
Much easier said than done... wait... lol

I'm guilty of this myself, I think a lot of people are!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
Pretty much a waste of time writing instructions then lol I should just put a load of blank buttons on the screen and let users press whatever they want (and hope they hit the right one) :D

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wwjoshdew:
They're not a waste of time... Because once you've done something wrong, you frantically read over it hoping that you didn't brick your device! lol

Then you figure out what you did wrong! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
Haha yeah you figure out that if you had read the instructions in the first place your device wouldnt now be sitting on the floor in pieces from your frustration at bricking it :p

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TooSlo:
I've had a bit of an odd thing happen with the ToolKit.

When trying to back up my new phone, regardless if I select option 4 (NANDROID) or 7 (Backup EFS Partition), after selecting "Yes" I'm immediately popped back to the main ToolKit screen with no notification that the backup was successful/failed.

I'm concerned, as it's recommended that I backup my EFS partition, and I didn't see an option in TWRP to back up just that partition.

Am I missing something obvious by chance? I've uninstalled and reinstalled the tool, and this still hasn't helped in allowing me to backup through the tool. I have Root/BB installed and working properly through the tool, I just can't get this backup figured out.

Thanks for the hard work, it's great to have a community such as XDA available to us.

Update: Installed the ToolKit to another directory and it's working as expected now. /boggle

Hi guys!

I FOUND THE SOLUTION! I plugged the phone into a different usb socket and it worked! Weird... i think it was the usb hub that was causing the issue.... possibly due to a faulty/lack of power port? not sure... but now i get

I want to learn how could I make a CRT off for my own SII roms

sometimes I use official stock roms or deodexed stock roms by wanam.

also may use different versions of GB or ICS stock roms.

Sounds like the mount point issue. The mount points for the internal/external SD cards on your rom & the build of Siyah you're using differ.

Try Siyah V3.1rc6. That should solve the problem (yes Gokhan has fixed the issue which caused several people's phones to brick yesterday).

The ROM itself will not matter as much as how you set up the rest of the system, but I'd recommend CM7 as well. Education can be very powerful as well, my four year old knows her way around android tablets and phones better than most people. But do make sure you do the following:

*Titanium Backup ==> Backup and Restore ==> Dialer ==> Uninstall ==> Ignore Error ==> Reboot phone. This will also disable cell radio and give more battery life.

*Play Store ==> Settings ==> User Controls ==> Set or change PIN ==> Use PIN for purchases. This should prevent any app purchases. Alternatively give her a new google account without access to a credit card.
