I used 1.5.5 to unroot 4.1.2. Now when the system pops up telling me to update to 4.2, after reboot, and doing what seem like an installation, it starts back up with the system still showing 4.1.2. I tried using twrp to install it manually, 094f6629314a.signed-nakasi-JOP40C-from-JZO54K.094f6629.zip, but it failed.

Can anyone please provide the correct procedure to upgrade? TIA.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Eddie Dickens:
Thank you for the Toolkit, WugFresh!!

I've one question:

Does the Toolkit update 1.6 work with the Android update 4.2.1 ??

Best regards ....
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Gigabitex2:
I'm sure it's been discussed but when I try to temp use twrp to create a nandroid it fails on android secure. I'm using v1.6.0 with stock ROM JZO54K. I was able to back up titanium, just can't do a full nandroid for some reason. Any suggestions?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Mallikanth:
From the OP "The biggest change in this release is the fully web backed system which intelligently and selectively downloads the files it needs and always makes sure you are using the latest files available"

And from the Changelog... " This means, the second a new android build comes out, within a minutes I will upload new master lists and tell everyone to grab them user (Help > About..) and then they will see the new build supported in the list!"

So I'd say yes, as soon as the files are available on Goo.im the Toolkit will have them.

---------- Post added at 07:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:00 PM ----------

I suspect the short answer is "yes" as each device, when selected, will pull down the relevant files if your PC doesn't have them already. Perhaps test out the drivers before doing anything when you swap devices just for peace of mind.

---------- Post added at 07:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:04 PM ----------

Personally I'd not use the OTA update or try this manually.

Ensure the toolkit has the current N7 build as 4.1.2 then use 'Flash Stock + Unroot' and browse to 4.2, flash that then re-root - all using the toolkit.

Then remember to enable USB debugging again and change the toolkit build to 4.2 if it hasn't changed by itself (I haven't used 1.6 in anger yet so I don't know if the build changes by itself when the program knows what's just changed - I don't expect it too but you never know Wug's Genius :D).

[Nexus 7 Android Development] emylia777:
guys, how do i backup all of my apps + data from the toolkit? I couldnt do a titanium backup for all of em because my 16GB N7 has only 2GB worth of space left and obviously it isnt enough. Using the toolkit's backup feature however, gave me a strange size of only 400MB+ for all of my apps.. I dont wanna redownload the date for big games like The Bard's Tale etc. :crying:

What other options do I have? I'm on a stock recovery btw, and dont plan to flash a custom one due to wanting to have OTA update goes smoothly..
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Mallikanth:
Under 'Backup + Restore' select 'Backup' and 'Create Nandroid Backup'. The snag here though is that the backup is made on your N7 before it's moved to your PC.

Another option is to just backup your apps from within the Toolkit and manually copy over the data folders for your large games - assuming you don't have enough room on your N7 for the above step to work.

4.2.1

Hi guys I'm new here. Just got the Nexus 7 32gb. I Just have one question before rooting my device. Should I take the 4.2.1 update first then root? And am I good to go with the recent Nexus tool kit update?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
I will add it to the list once I can get the files. I have Nexus 7 now but I haven't received the OTA yet. Hopefully google just publishes it on their factory image site shortly. Then I can update it with ease. I am pretty sure though that if you keep the build as 4.2 in the toolkit it will work no problems for everything. If not, you can use 'any build' mode until I get the files. I wonder why I am not getting the OTA yet :(

I have a root 4.2 version, if i update to 4.2.1... can i use this soft for make root again?

sorry for my poor english

.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Yes. Just keep the build as 4.2 and it should work. The 4.2.1 build will become officially listed once I can grab the file.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
That shouldn't happen. What build? Hopefully we didn't swamp goo.im's servers too badly...

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ch0mch0m:
Thanks for the directions. I was hoping for an easier way than just keep flashing back to stock for every upgrade and just upgrade incrementally like the OTA ones. Until then, I guess this will do, thanks again, and thanks Wug for the Toolkit.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Update then root with 4.2.0 build or any build mode, either will work. I will have 4.2.1 in the list as soon as I receive the OTA.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] wilsons618:
4.2 (: I'll try again in a bit and get back to you

Edit: Any build works fine! Just not 4.2

[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
I will see if goo.im will increase the download cap per day, I am guessing you reached your cap. I know the program works... It's worked for me and many other people. What do mean "still get nothing"? Please elaborate.

Found a little bug!

When trying to root my Nexus S with 4.1.2 it seems to get stuck on TWRP with "Waiting for your device to finish booting back up".

The problem was that the procedure didn't wait the device to upload the root applications (SuperSU and BusyBox).

I've manually uploaded these files to /sdcard and went into another root procedure which completed successfully.

Apart from that great app!! Thanks Wug :good:

Its trying to download the recovery for tilapia......shouldnt it be grouper?

Edit: I'm an idiot, selected 3G tablet by accident
[Nexus 7 Android Development] starfighter1948:
Another alternative would be to use TB to backup to the cloud e.g. Dropbox, which wouldn't take up space on your N7.

Well, great and very easy tool to root your tablet...it went easy with no problem...accidently I flashed custom recovery and i dont like it...where can I find "stock" recovery
[Nexus 7 Android Development] kingCV:
You can find the stock img here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images

Then recover using the toolkit. :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] mazinya:
plz dont flame me for my question, but how do i root using this tool? do i need to put the file on my nexus device first, or leave it on the desktop?

what do i click first? the drivers or just straight to unlock?

any chance for a small step by step guide?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Mallikanth:
Well to start with you need to understand why you want to use it - for what purpose.

Then you need to understand what you need to do (as you've started by asking here) and look for walk-through like this one perhaps (a little outdated but it's sufficient).

Read through other web pages or sections of this Thread and try to figure out whats going on and what to do.

Lastly, be fairly confident you know what you're doing before you do it.:cool:

Having said all that, the toolkit is very easy to use and straightforward. Help is always available here but you need to help yourself first.

Have fun!

Unable to root Nexus 7 3g- No tilapia file

I am trying to root the Nexus 7 3g Android 4.2 but same problem as the guy above.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] Mallikanth:
The latest Soju for the Nexus S is here Version 4.1.2

The latest Nakasig for Nexus 7 3G is here Version 4.2

I suspect you've somehow reached a limit on the number of attempts from the Goo Server which hosts the files you need, hence the 'error' you're both getting

---------- Post added at 11:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:19 AM ----------

There is a button that says 'Flash Stock + unroot'. Under that is a radio button that says 'Soft Bricked / Bootloop'

I suggest you try that.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] uansari1:
Slightly off topic...but is there a simple way to use this toolkit to sideload the latest OTA's on unrooted and locked stock devices?

Edit: Nevermind...just did it manually by copying the OTA file to the Wugfresh directory and using command prompt.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Mallikanth:
While I'm fairly sure it could be done I'm not convinced it's 'simple'. I would hazard a guess that a fair majority of the toolkit installation would be pointless as you'd only be using the ADB shell, I presume.

Drivers are now downloaded dependent upon the selected device.

Wugs the man to give you the whole answer though.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
I just checked and its up. So it should work. That file is actually the twrp 2.3.2.1 grouper image, but I renamed it tilapia to go along with my device specific syntax the toolkit uses for everything; but the grouper one is what works is actually what that file is.

I am certain that file is up though. Let me know if you still get that error today. I have a feeling that maybe we all swamped goo.im. I suppose I could make all the files the toolkit downloads viable on goo.im, so people could grab the files if they needed. But I kind of liked it going through the toolkit because it lets me keep track of how many downloads are happening.

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Just use the "Flash Stock Recovery" button in advanced utilities, the toolkit will grab the stock recovery for your build from the servers and flash it. :) Or you could download the full factory image package yourself from google, unzip that package and inside there is a recovery image, which you can flash with the toolkits Flash recovery button.

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
I just re-read this comment; "nexwug_dl_nrtfiles.exe" is a core file from the Toolkit itself that is used for downloading all the files. My guess is that you had an incomplete download of the toolkit, or maybe your AV program false flagged this file, or your firewall blocked its activity. Yeah, without that file the toolkit won't be able to download anything. If it turns out your AV program did flag it, please submit them a report so they can analyze it and remove the false flag, or tell me your AV provider so I can contact them and tell them to remove the flag.

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
I have never produced this error if I have selected the correct build and device. If you get a chance, try "Flash Stock + Unroot", then root again and see if you can reproduce this error. My guess is that is an anomaly due to device connectivity, maybe you are using a front USB port, which sometimes (for whatever reason) doesn't always play nicely.

There are numerous Nexus S devices - make sure you select the right one. < Selecting the device is truly an imperative step towards making the toolkit work, and this "Waiting for device to finish booting back up" "bug" is indicative that the user selected the wrong device.

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Thats actually a good question. I just had an idea that would be slick if it worked. I bet you could temp fastboot boot the stock recovery and then adb sideload OTA's on rooted devices with custom recovery. That would be a nice alternative way to update, assuming it all worked well. I will try it out and if it does I will integrate that feature into the next release.. like an OTA button. That would be sweet.

Hello, i have a question, i could not find and answear to it so i am asking it here:

Will HTC one X ever get better benchmark then galaxy s 3 or the new meizu, i mean, will it be possible through driver updates and tegra 3 optimization ?

does galaxy s 3 have a better cpu in the hardware side or it is just better optimized on the software side ?

Lost my root virginity with my E4GT (I are big noob at this stuff) and had some questions.

How do you go back to Sprint's stock EL29 with no CWM or root?

I have rooted EL29 with CWM on my E4GT.

How would the soon to be incoming OTA affect my phone? How would any OTA (possible stability fixes to FF18 and maybe JB) affect root and CWM?

If possible, would I be able to flash official FF18 with root over my EL29 root + CWM providing I wait for ODIN One-Click to be updated with official FF18?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GiantJay:
Watch qbking77's how to unroot//unbrick video. Make sure its the latest one and he has links and step by step of what to do. It is very helpful as I am new too. I did this last night.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
You could just apply sfhub's FF18 + root instead of waiting for OTA if you want. It is linked in the first post of the Official ICS OTA thread in General.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AoARanger:
Wouldn't there some differences between sfhubs release and the official OTA like battery life, bugs, and stuff? I kinda wanna see the differences first =d
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Unlikely IMO - changes would be minor if any. One example mentioned in another thread was a different modem. In either case I'm certain we'll get another repack when OTA drops.

For my wife, she won't know the difference - hence I already did the update. I'll probably do mine again once OTA is pulled and repacked with root.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
Even if there is, you will not be able to root the OTA. When you take the OTA, OTA it unroots the phone. With there being no root exploit you then have to flash a rooted FF18 tar since your no longer on a firmware with CWM to flash a zip with.

If the FF18 that is OTA happens to be a slightly different revision of FF18 then to get root you will have to wait maybe 24 to 48 hours for someone to come up with a rooted tar or the tar for that revision to leak so you can flash it with mobile odin on a rooted phone.

If the OTA is the same as the leak then to get a rooted FF18 you have to either flash a cwm zip version from whatever rom your on, or flash a rooted tar/one click.

Eitherway all paths to a rooted FF18 do not involve taking the OTA. If you take the OTA the method you will use to get root is one of the methods you would use if you do not OTA.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] geolemon:
This is all really good to consider, for anyone who is currently rooted, (like me) looking to go back to pure-stock (like me) to try out the OEM update.

However, I suspect not a big deal, because the purpose for going back to stock to check out the stock ICS update would be to run it for a few days to see how it is, what it's all about, at any rate. I have faith that there will be a rooted FF18 - in fact, isn't there already (sfhub's FF18 + root)?

True story - this is all my fault, the long delay for stock ICS to be released...

I waited months and months and months - since I got the phone, for the stock ICS update to happen. Rumors in March (and even some official press) were that it was just around the corner. Then the GSIII launched. Then some coworkers got the GSIII. Then my buddy got the GSIII. Then Google launches Jellybean... and still no ICS for us. Then my buddy flashes JB on his GSIII, and I'm still running GB... wtf.

So, two nights ago I finally said screw it - wiped my phone, rooted it, and installed the AOKP version of ICS.

So naturally, the very next day, they announce the stock ICS update.

I should have rooted my phone and installed an ICS ROM months ago. Sorry. :laugh:

---------- Post added at 01:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:01 PM ----------

One reason that I want to go back stock, and try stock ICS, is for some Exchange account properties that may/must be Sprint exclusive...

You can set a peak/off peak sync schedule - important for me since I get an Email every 2-3 minutes at work when I'm in the office. I can set it to not check Email at all between 8am and 6pm, and then check every 15 minutes during "off peak" hours when I actually want to be notified of Email.

With these custom ROMs (or at least AOKP) you can't - all you can pick is a static frequency - every 15 minutes... all day.

So I'll be happy running the OTA update for a while, I'll root it in a few days, install a custom launcher (why haven't I seen anyone using Go Launcher? I like that one a lot on my GB, I'd use it on ICS if it works), and maybe some day a custom ROM if I can port or use the stock Email settings.

Has anyone else flashed a custom ROM and missed this particular feature?

---------- Post added at 01:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:06 PM ----------

Couldn't I just use the CWM5 recovery to flash a new ZIP version of the stock kernel?

As it was, I personally went from ICS back to GB by flashing back to the EL26 kernel with CWM5, then restoring my most recent GB nandroid backup prior to upgrading.

I'd think I could use this CWM5 to just flash the stock kernel back without an issue. I think the general rule of thumb

Is there a link to this unrooting video? I'm not finding it, I've clicked through several of the links from the wiki on rooting, "how not to brick", etc.

Video would be helpful to watch, thanks.

I'd also think I could use the one click tool at this point. I used option C to flash CWM to my phone after getting root, option B is designed to remove root access.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Manar Aleryani:
I have a rooted stock Motorola photon. I have done millions of mods over the past year. I'm planning to give this phone to someone else.

Question is: Will I lose root or any of the mods if I perform a factory reset?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Shad0wguy:
Short answer, yes
[Motorola Photon 4G] Manar Aleryani:
Is there a way then I can remove all apps and Google account without factory reset?
[Motorola Photon 4G] lroy:
If youre giving the phone to someone else, save them and yourself the headaches and wipe the device and bring back to stock. If they want custom stuff on it, let them learn how to do it or they will keep coming back to you for assistance and support.

Teach them how to catch their own fish, not give them the fish.
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Bad answer. :-)

The right answer is no.

But if he deleted some off apps, needed for first boot, it won't boot or many FCs will come.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Manar Aleryani:
You were right. It worked. Thanks a lot. I was really hesitant to factory reset.

I did not loose my root or any of the mods I made. I was lucky I had the latest CWM. I used it for a full nandroid backup before factory resetting.

No force closes till now or any problems. But I have a full backup just in case ;-)

Thanks again.
