[Nexus 7 Android Development] anirudh15891:
This worked well actually. I did both the options. 2 worked really well and I got the drivers installed. So after that i went directly in to root but now i hit another snag. When i clicked root and all that. the device rebooted and is now in fast boot mode. but the information given in my computer says waiting for your device to finish booting back up it is just stuck there. the device wont reboot by itself. it is still in that mode and I haven't touched it yet. should i manually press the button to reboot it? I am not sure what is going on here... thanks again .

Update: I just pressed it and after it went through everything I had to press it again. neither of times it went to fastboot mode did it ever reboot it itself. and when it was done completely I checked whether it is rooted and it is not. :(

btw: I have the 32gig Nexus 7. I am not sure what went wrong. It just wont reboot itself. I waited for a while and nothing happened. it still showed bootloader locked and nothing else was going on on the fastboot screen.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] anirudh15891:
do you mean installing the older nexus 7 bootloader ? Sorry for my ignorance.

If so then I have already it and still not working.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Use Any Build mode then for now, v1.5.5 will resolve these issues.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] n7of9:
WugFresh, I had the same issues as anirudh15891 with Win8 not running the Samsung Driver installation when selecting "signed drivers" from within the toolkit, with UAC already turned off

it worked for me using these instructions, and it ran in WinXP SP3 compatibility mode

Right click the exe > "Troubleshoot compatibility" > "Try recommended settings" > "Test the program..."

you said you have Win8 installed and it works for you - do you have Win8 Consumer Preview installed? I am on the official Win8 UPGRADE from Win7 - maybe that has something to do with it?

...

edit: your 'please donate' link within the toolkit doesn't work, says "...://www.paypal[etc] - class not registered"

Unlocked my bootloader, however when I go to the root step, it'll go through the process, but looks like the root fails as BusyBox and SuperSU are not installed. Running off 4.1.2. Any ideas? Have been Googling for the past hour

EDIT: Nevermind, followed Wug's instructions, flashed the older bootloader and the root is successful. Thanks :)

Hi, I'm looking at selling my 16GB, so want to restore to root, and am getting the 32Gb.

Do you know if this works with the new 32GB version?

And this will put my 16 back to stock and remove CWM etc? Do I need to download a stock image like the other method on this forum, if so where from?

TIA
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Thank you for the heads up. Well my classes are canceled tomorrow so I will work as hard as I can to get 1.5.5 done.

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 7 Android Development] TheBronze:
Capital!

Installed updated 1.5.4 and used the old bootloaders (guppy?) and it worked a treat! Rooted! Thanks for your hard work and passion!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Yes, the "Flash Stock + Unroot" feature is designed for doing just that. The toolkit can actually automatically download the factory image for you directly from googles servers, extract and flash it - or you can download the factory image package yourself from google and use the "Other" option in the flash stock gui.

Google keeps all factory images packages here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images

And I also am maintaining of ALL (including legacy versions) factory image packages here: http://goo.im/devs/WugFresh/stock

More info on flashing stock with the toolkit can be found here:

http://wugfresh.com/Help/scr/Flash_Stock_+_Unroot.htm

Here is also a good video guide:

http://youtu.be/_uMdtjUh6Co

Hope that helps. Cheers. I know that all of this information could be better organized, I am just trying to get the toolkit updated first and then use whatever time I have left to really clean up all the support information.

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Cool thank you for the information. I will figure out how to run it in compatibility mode by default if the end user is on Win8 to avoid this problem in the next release. I can easily have the program detect the OS so that shouldn't be too difficult. I just got my full Pro version of Win8 in the mail, so I will test it on that. Yes, on a few machines I am just running the latest consumer preview - but I could have done other windows tweaks that I am forgetting on those machines.. so they are probably not a good reference point.

Thanks for the info on the link not working as well.. that is really strange. I have yet to encounter that error on any machine I have tested this on. Can you email me a screen shot or something? That is really weird. Thanks!

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 7 Android Development] wilx:
Thanks, and is it OK to use on a 32GB unit to root again?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Yeah, your internal storage size is entirely irrelevant. No worries.

I have just unlocked it, no probs, it went through the motion to root it, but no super user icon installed.... any ideas? I tried downloading it from the market but says no super user binary installed ...

---------- Post added at 10:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:37 PM ----------

Tried several times, still no luck, tried with and without the custom recovery option

---------- Post added at 10:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:49 PM ----------

If I manually go into recovery, I get an android on his back with a red alert triangle too, is that wrong too? I hope I haven't screwed my new nexus!

[Nexus 7 Android Development] nextelbuddy:
is it not possible to just unroot my device with out wiping and flashing stock image?

i have already installed the stock recovery and just want to unroot with out reflashing the stock image losing everything but it looks like i have to choose flash to stock and unroot which forces me to choose a stock image which will wipe my device.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
If you haven't made any system modifications you can just unroot through the SuperSU app.

SuperSU > Settings > Full unroot

That won't wipe anything. Please note.. if you are returning your device for warranty reasons you should re-lock. If you want to be sure that your device is completely stock, then you should use the flash stock + unroot. If you just rooted to run a few root apps, then you can just unroot with SuperSU.

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 7 Android Development] nextelbuddy:
just preparing for the 4.2 update.

i love your kit it is so much more scalable than the others.

i went ahead and backed up all my apps and then performed a flash to stock and unroot for good measure and i wanted to make a backup of my JZO54K Recovery and boot loader so next time i can flash the proper recovery as I think your tool v1.5.4 is only flashing the jro03d recovery and i swear i saw somewhere in your program the ability to do that but now can't seem to find it anywhere. are my eyes playing tricks on me?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
I am pretty sure I updated that but I will make sure to check up on that to ensure all the correct/latest stock recoveries get flashed (per android version), but yes - you can easily flash any recovery with the toolkit using advanced utilities "flash to recovery" button - then just select whatever img file you want to flash. More information on flashing to the partitions can be found here: http://www.wugfresh.com/dev/nexus-root-toolkit/flash-to-partition/

The amount of devices this program now supports and will soon support (now that I am going to extend it to Q, Nexus10 and 4) is make it more and more difficult for me to organize all my variables the way I had previously coded it - so I am revising a lot of the code now to make it easier for me to add support for future devices and push updates out quicker (hopefully). My guess is that I am going to spend all this time on v1.5.5 today and tomorrow and then right when I release it, 4.2 will come out (LOL) and I will have to push out some other update - so I too am trying to set myself up for 4.2 as best as I can so I can be ready to release a quick update for that if need be. :)

Thank you for comments on my program, they are really appreciated!

ok i got my old N7 changed and this new one is build number jr003s android version 4.1.1

i got it rooted using the "any build" but im trying to install a custom rom using the flash zip and it asks for a version

i dont see mine, suggestions?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Use the corresponding 4.1.1 build (JRO03D) - the update to JRO03S was minor and that D build should work no problems.

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 7 Android Development] corumuk:
Just unlocked and rooted my 32gb N7 without a hitch, build number JZ054K. Only time I hit a snag was doing a nandroid backup and that was my fault due to plugging the N7 into the pc via a usb extension cable, rather than directly into the pc using the N7 cable.

When the 4.2 update comes out next month, will it still be possible to do it OTA after unlocking and rooting?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Kaangaas:
Hi!

My device is soft-bricked so I'm trying to return it to stock using your toolkit (which I love btw).

But I'm having an issue running the script with the "can't boot" option. When transfering userdata it gets an BadParameter error.

The cmd looks like this:

I guess it got something to do with the size of the filesystem and 0KB userdata but i'm not sure.

I've tried with all three of the factory images at your website and I'm getting the same error.

When I'm using the factory image from google it fails at another point namly:

I've also tried to flash each of the boot, recovery, system, userdata and bootlader images individually

from the toolkit but that doesn't work either.

I've tried different usb-ports, and re-installed the drivers for the N7.

Do you have any idea of what might be wrong?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] TheByteSmasher:
If you don't change your system files, you can usually flash the OTA but your device may not download it so you'll have to grab it off somewhere else. Usually you can find them here: http://tinyurl.com/cx35tdf
[Nexus 7 Android Development] A.VOID:
Used your tool to unlock and root.

Windows 8... I only could install 3rd driver option, and it didn't completely work like the walk through screen shots.

I had the bootloader issue too when trying to install recovery and root.

All complete now. Thanks for the tool.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] wr8_utd:
Okay using this to root my tablet. I unlocked it all right and now I clicked on root and it's been stuck for 10 mins on the "booing downloaded image" screen and the dialog box on the PC says "Waiting for your device to finish booting back up.."

Is this normal?

---------- Post added at 11:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:34 PM ----------

I flashed the older bootloader and it's still not rooted for me. It says rooting procedure successful and it still doesn't root! Busy box not working.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] w84mike:
Easy as pie!

Wow, this makes rooting super easy to do. Followed your nice clear instructions throughout the process and rooted my new Nexus 7 (4.1.2 JZ054K build) without a problem. Thanks very much for this great tool! :)

Re-Root

Hello all,

i rooted the device when it was a "Galaxy Nexus - GSM/HSPA+ - Android 4.1.1 JRO03C".

I received an update via OTA recently, and now my nexus is "JZO54K" but is not rooted anymore. How can i regain the root?

Can i just change the setting in the NRTK from JRO03C to JZO54K (it's already supported in list?) and use "ROOT" button without re-flashing, re-unlock (when i turn on my nexus i already have the open padlock icon so i think i'm still unlocked) or re-wipe nothing?

Thank you very much.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Neo3D:
Mine does this too. I just bought my Nexus 7 today and it is listed as a valid device?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Try the fix in the OP. Also try "Any Build" in the device list if that doesn't work. I am working on a v1.5.5 now, I will get it out asap and it will resolve these issues. :)

[Nexus 7 Android Development] Neo3D:
Hi, I've tried the instructions in the link about 6-7x already but I still get the same result, stuck in fastboot? Bootloader version 3.34

Any ideas?

Looks like tenth time's a charm! I'm rooted! Great tool!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
I am not sure what's causing that "Bad Parameter" error, I haven't seen that and I haven't found much info on that.. seems like such a generic error message.. not very helpful. Are you saying that you have tried all three factory image packages, and doing it with all three using the individual files? Because that's what I would try.. I would try flashing each boot.img until one goes through, and then doing the rest of the files from that package over and over until hopefully you get all them to flash.

Another thing you could try is flashing a ROM.zip, hit me up on gchat if you need more troubleshooting options with this. Unfortunately there is no ODIN or equivalent on the N7 (samsung devices only). I really think that they should have included something like that as an alternative restoration method.

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
When you say stuck in fastboot.. are you saying that it says booting download image? And gets stuck, or are you getting a message about fastboot not connecting?

You could try downloading the latest TWRP and replacing the file in the toolkit with it (you will have to rename it to match the name of the older version which is included in the toolkit). Here is the download link: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/103

The file resides here in the toolkit:

\data\Recovery_Custom\TWRP

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Ahh.. Yay! I just saw you updated your post. Happy to hear you got it working. :)

It may have been related to USB ports. If you are on a desktop, it seems back ports (2.0) may be better.. For some reason people have reported some problems with front 3.0 ports (I am not sure why).

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 7 Android Development] le0.br4zuc4:
I am having the same issue. I downloaded the latest version of TWRP, placed in the folder you mentioned above but when the toolkit tries to flash/reboot recovery the tablet just stays in bootloader until you manually reboot.

If I try to reboot recovery I get the stock recovery.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Did you rename it? It needs to match the name of previous version, the way v1.5.4 was coded. Regardless I am hoping to finish this update today, I have been coding for like 14+ hours straight.. Lol. I am making great progress though so I have high hopes I will get this out today.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] Kaangaas:
I've now gotten it to actually flash all of the images but it's just bootlooping anyway.

How would I flash a ROM.zip when I'm not able to boot up, don't you have to have debugging enabled?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Daws72:
Wow, I'm really surprised how easy that was. Worked perfectly first time. Unlocked and rooted my 32gb in about five minutes. I recommend watching the step by step guide on YouTube by Reverendkjr, it really is idiot proof. Many thanks for Wug for a superb tool.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ZuperMario:
UP....
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Yes.. just root again...

No flashing, wiping.. etc is necessary

Consider flashing the older bootloader first per the instructions in the OP if you get stuck at "Boot download image" when rooting.

Bought a 32gb N7 yesterday.... fired up the toolkit after getting the 4.1.2 ota, which came within minutes of turning it on. All went fabulous! You're a genius Wug, a genius I tell ya! Thank you!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] middle_road:
Same as the others above said - Thanks Wug! :good:

Spent two hours with the 'other' one and it was a waste of my time. seems a person has to donate to get a version that works with 4.1.2

I have a 16GB that I can exchange at Staples for a 32BG model, but I wanted to wipe this one first.

Thank you so much for your time and effort, the end result is a great utility.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] Mallikanth:
Yes indeed - great software with fantastic support.

I hope you and all the others who have used this donate a little something to Wug and spread the word (love?) :cool: I know I do.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Yeah, I finished coding the majority of it last night/this morning at like 4am. I figured I should sleep on it and test everything once more before I compiled the final release. Sometime later today I should have it ready.

I also fixed the problem with the updater not working if it was in a path with spaces.. So I guess what I will do is release the full version as usual, and I will also provide a link to just download the updated updater (lol).

I am much happier with the way I revised my code for this release because it will make it much easier for me to release updates in the future.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] CBers:
Hi Wug.

Jumping the gun a bit, but I assume your toolkit will support the rooting of Nexus 10?

TIA.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Yes it will, and the N4 as well. As soon as the factory images for those devices become available on Google I will push an update out asap for those builds, probably the same day. I am working on the Nexus Q as well right now but I need to get a hold of one of those or get someone who has one to beta test it for me - I have to do things slightly differently on that device, but I really don't want to fork my program, I really like the idea of it being a universal tool for the Nexus line.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Version 1.5.5 is now up in the OP. :)

If you just want the updated Wug_Updater.exe (which will work in a path with spaces in it), then you can grab it here

- Then just replace the older Wug_Updater.exe in the toolkit directory, and get the update to 1.5.5 by going to Help > About...

The main enhancement to this version besides the needed updates for better 4.1.2 compatibility is a revision to the "Flash Stock + Unroot" inteface. Now when you are in that interface, you can select any stock build you want with the 'auto download, extract and flash' feature. Special thanks to S0up at Goo.im for setting up some special permissions to enable the toolkit to work with their servers (for all the legacy factory image builds that google no longer hosts).

This version supports all the latest stock builds, including the most recent SOJUK Nexus S 4.1.2 build.

Let me know how you like it. I will work on mirrors and the changelog now, and now actually spend some time getting together a much needed (and long promised) FAQ section on my website.

Cheers.

Thinking about rooting my N7. If so I will probably use this method.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] TheByteSmasher:
Never mind.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] SteveC485:
Thanks again for your work on this. IMO it is one of the few really good root aids I have ever seen or used for any device.

This leads to a (probably entirely non original) thought that I wonder how far off we are from being able to install and use this tool kit on say, a Nexus 7 to apply the actions in the kit to rooting another android device, IOW use an android device as the development machine. Would do away with the need for a computer in the process. Probably not any feasible way or we'd have it by now I suppose. A Google search just gets every post ever made on rooting android.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] dirtyhamster73:
I just unrooted, locked, unlocked, and rooted again my 16gb and 32 gb N7 (both 4.1.2 ota) just to test out the new update....everything went perfect! It seemed like it took a little longer than usual but that's nothing. Thank you Wug! :)
