Press and hold the power button and the volume up and down buttons. After a second or two the Fastboot menu appears. Don't select anything, but plug the device into your PC using a USB cable. Then select appropriate options to permanently install a recovery under "Advance Utilities' Under the 2nd column you'll see Boot Flash.... Click Flash Permanent then select recovery and it should install latest TWRP and boot into recovery where you can flash the ROM of your choice or restore a backup.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] madLyfe:
well i mean i used this tool and it put busybox on my tablet..
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Berrydroidcafe:
That's because BusyBox is required when you root, it's not needed when you are running stock.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] Vyom:
Thanks Anderson2. With the help of your post I was able to restore the MTP functionality. As it turned out the driver for "Portable Devices" appears when you manually try to update driver software through "Google Nexus 7 ADB Interface". Here are the steps in more refinement:

1. Open Device Manager

2. Under "Android Phone", right click "Google Nexus 7 ADB Interface", and select "Update Driver Software..."

3. Now click "Browse my computer for driver software"

4. There browse "C:\Windows" and click "Let me pick from a device drivers on my computer "

5. In the next screen that shows a list of "compatible hardware", select USB option. (As with me too, after this step, USB option doesn't appear anymore).

6. An entry for "Portable Devices" will pop up under Device Manager, and Nexus 7 will be listed under the tree.

There you go. Check My Computer now, and your device should be visible ready to copy and move files. :)

BUT, what is more exciting is that now I can use the Nexus 7 with BOTH: ADB shell as well as MTP device. This is amazing! :svetius:

Please help me... I have a Nexus 7 wifi edition (old version).

I installed wugfresh toolkit and tried to install factory 4.4

After about 15 minutes nothing was happening so I tried to reboot my Nexus 7. Now it is stock in bootloader mode. It does not want to start. I tried reflashing stock again but it says USB debugging needs to be enabled, but I can't boot my device... how do I revive it please.. thank you

Edit:

Forgot to mention, my device was already bootloader unlocked, and running 4.2 grouper JDQ39

Hi Wug , Can you or anyone please confirm whether 4.4.1 update gonna roll on our Nexus 7 2012 Model or not , If no then i can go for it & unlock my BL, OR if its yes then i will wait for your 4.4.1 Update on it as i suppose i will not receive any OTA after flashing recovery also with your tool as its modifies, Thanks

Glad to have been of help. Appreciate the refinement. I didn't want to risk repeating the steps in case something went wrong and I lost mtp again.

Hi guys I tried using the toolkit to flash stock and unroot my nexus 7 2012 wifi but I think its soft bricked now as it will stay stuck on the google screen and just go into the bootloader. I tried flashing stock 4.4 krt16s however I kept getting the error that boot.sig and recovery.sig is not recognised or something so now im trying to flash it using force flash mode but its now been stuck on sending 'system' for about ten minutes now. Can anyone help me please. Thank.you

i unlocked and rooted my N5 and i dont have busybox installed on it(didnt use this toolkit)..
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Berrydroidcafe:
The binary may not be named BusyBox, but it does serve the same purpose. What I believe is that Superuser usually comes with BusyBox, while SuperSu binary comes built-in. Now if I'm totally off base,I'm sure someone will be along shortly to correct me.:D:cool:

Hey there, trying to restore root on my 2012 nexus 7 after kitkat autoinstall. installed this toolkit, but cannot unlock. it goes through 'checking fastboot status', 'device connected', then very briefly flashes a larger dialogue box on screen - tiny fraction of a second. I can just make out the words "YES" and "POWER" displayed, but it's too quick to seen anything else. It then says it's rebooting the device (which it does), but device is not wiped, nor does the 'root' option do anything either. I did manage to get the TWM boot recovery installed.

Thoughts?

---------- Post added at 02:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:15 PM ----------

so i just ran the 'fastboot-toolkit.exe oem unlock' and it says i'm unlocked already. ran 'root' again, it boots into twm, but the 'logfile' portion of twm just shows "Updating partition details...". and that's it. no further progress beyond that.

If i were to manually factory reset the device - since the 'unlock' step isn't doing it - might that help?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Your device is/was unlocked already based on what you described.

If tasks are not being automated in TWRP you most likely selected the wrong device or build in the toolkit. If the build you are trying to root is not available in the toolkit yet then select 'Any Build'.

There are multiple N7 devices to chose from in the toolkit.. Be sure to select the correct one.

Also you can try alternate USB ports.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] Berrydroidcafe:
Ain't that the truth! :)

Bought my Nexus 7 the other day and after two ota's, it was time to root. 6 hours later, I found out that I was trying to flash the 2012 system onto the 2013 Nexus 7. :eek:

The reason for the confusion, I was under the impression that the one I bought was the 2012 version, mainly due to the price, but it turned out to be the 2013 and cheaper than the Google Play price. :D:cool:

KitKat or Almond Joy?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] anastrophe:
Thanks WugFresh. I've confirmed that I'm on 4.4, build KRT16S, which is what I chose in the toolkit. It's a weird issue. I went through all the steps to remove all other android drivers, clean things up, etc.. Any idea what that dialogue box is that pops up too quickly to see?

---------- Post added at 05:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:40 PM ----------

woot - never mind - i went to the old reliable manual driver install, and that got everything working. donation on its way, thanks!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Glad you got it worked out. :)

The popup is instructions for unlocking the bootloader - at that point in the script it issues a "fastboot oem unlock" command and is waiting for the command to complete - since you were already unlocked - the command completes instantly - returning an "already unlocked" status - so that is why the popup just flashed for you.

Backup?

By backup... i guess you mean Titanium for user apps + app data ?

Apart from that I also always take a Nandroid & save a copy to my laptop as well :)

Anyway of saving ur Settings / Android settings? That seems to be another pain in the butt !!!

[Nexus 7 Android Development] tevil:
Just did this. Does this block OTA updates or will it still install and need to be rerooted?

If it does block are rooted OTA updates put up on the N7 dev area. I literally just started coming over here.

Anyone notice a but more battery drain after rooting their Nexus? Not tons just a smidge enough to notice
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Berrydroidcafe:
From my observations/understanding, as long as you did not make any changes/mods, the OTA would work, but most usually return to full stock, update with the OTA, then root again. That would also mean you have to have the stock recovery as well.

There are OTA .zip about xda, but the only suggestion would be to search for it

[Nexus 7 Android Development] PLmorpheuz:
THX :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] JovieBrett:
Just a newbie here, it's my first time to try this toolkit :)

Anyway I have some clarifications about flashing back to stock:

-Assuming that I wanted to flash back to stock KRT16O (4.4) on my Grouper, will ALL of my personal data in internal memory like Photos, Music files etc. be wiped? or only my apps will be wiped? (factory reset only)

-Will future OTA updates work if I'm on a custom recovery (CWM or TWRP) and rooted? If yes on a custom recovery, is unrooting needed before proceeding OTA update?

So far, this is the only solution I found to update to 4.4.2 because I have made some modification changes to the System like installing xpo framework & rooting and that's why I cannot install the OTA zip update through CWM recovery, it always ends up in status 7, installation aborted with a log of: /system/priv-app/googleservicesframework.apk has unexpected contents

Sorry for posting here like this :( I hope you can forgive me, thank you in advance!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] keneth_c:
Flashing back to stock will factory reset your device. Hence make a NanDroid backup and save on local machine (laptop). Also do Titanium backup of apps + data. Plus backup of personal folders & /data & /obb folders (for game and game data).

I was able to get OTA update once though I was rooted and had custom recovery installed. However my bootloader was locked then. From the last couple of times, I didn't get OTA updates but I remember my bootloader being unlocked. But don't take my word for it... As I am unsure.

I did not unroot before installing OTA zip file from CWM recovery. I however did install SuperSU zip via CWM recovery right after installing the OTA zip file (and before rebooting). Only after installing the 2 zip's... Did I reboot my device.

All went well.

Back to stock

Hello, I have a galaxy nexus GSM and want to return to stock to send it to repair and use the garantee.

I think that what I have to do is to "Flash Stock + Unroot" and then "OEM Lock", but I have heard that some phones have a control that count the number of full wipes and ROM flashes. Does Galaxy nexus have this control? If so, How can I reset it to 0?

Thanks in advance.

KOT49H

Hi

Just did the OTA update to KOT49H on my Nexus 7 (2012) Wifi, and as is usual lost Root.

Just re-rooted using Wug's Toolkit 1.7.9 without any problems. Although KOT49H is not listed

if you use the last listed item "any build" then it will work.

Great application and well worth donating for.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
No. No worries on Gnex.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] demandarin:
That sounds like a great idea to include the option to choose what custom recovery you want. The increase in file size is not really an issue since its installed on a pc. Just hope it doesn't get ridiculously large like over a gigabyte. Lol Great idea also to include incremental updates for the program. It all sounds good to me. Do what you see is the best option for yourself and within the time you allot to developing this. I do like the idea of adding option to choose recovery. But if means you have to do alot of work to add everything for it, then I'd be fine with how it is now. Then I can just do like you recommended in earlier post. No biggie. Looking forward to your new version.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] danny8:
Yes, I too think it's unrelated.

One thing I read and just now verified: you CAN use the "manual" method to get into CWM when the tablet is tethered to a PC via USB. What that means (and how that is helpful) is beyond me.

I don't know if ADB server must be running to make it work. It was when I tested -- I had just used NRT to restore my apps.

Fabulous kit, saved me lots of time already. Thanks!

PS: The way you juggle the different subjects (even in this one thread) is fairly amazing. Must get tiring.

The flood of forum activity on this Nexus 7 is overwhelming. I'm used to the smaller clubhouse that is the Exhibit II. Just a dozen or so regulars. There's NEVER any bickering! {Rolls eyes.}

Definitely appreciated! PayPal donation sent, conf. 7MX93320NM635735F.

Worked a treat once I got the drivers installed - for some reason they didn't install until I was connected to computer while in bootloader mode.

<I know the Nexus 7 is really new, so I imagine you will eventually update instructions so references are not just to Samsung devices and drivers>
[Nexus 7 Android Development] danny8:
I wondered about that too, but then I thought maybe Asus built the device with a Samsung chipset.

But I don't know, I'm only speculating.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
It means the cmd "adb reboot recovery" will work, which is why I am including a Reboot to Recovery button in the next release. Thank you. I am happy you like it. :-) Yes, it can get tiring, but I consider answering questions part of the development process; it motivates me to code new features and simplify processes. If a bunch of users end up asking me the same questions, I interpret that as weakness in my scripts, and as an opportunity to redesign something to hopefully make it more intuitive next time around. Ultimately the best tech support is better code. Hopefully as I work towards making this program better, it will become more self explanatory. Until then, I will just try my best to keep up. :-)

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Yes. This is my bad. I have a Gnex, and I totally overlooked all the Samsung stuff in the driver guide when making this compatible for the Nexus 7. The driver files included in the toolkits /data/driver directory are not samsung drivers though; they should work on all the nexus devices. In the next release I plan on removing the Samsung driver exe file, and all the samsung stuff, and just redesign the whole driver guide around the raw PDA net drivers. Which I will strip from the 32bit and 64bit installers.

Oddly enough.. Asus doesn't provide drivers for the Nexus 7; which to me.. seem like their responsibility.. Right?

[Nexus 7 Android Development] theoneofgod:
You can boot into recovery using fastboot.

You are correct, meant to say using the manual method (abd) as opposed to the fastboot mode from the android robot screen after using the power/volume button combo is still not working.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] TahrirSquare:
Download the ROM to your PC, transfer to your Nexus using USB connection to the folder you want, Get into recovery (adb reboot recovery or using ROM manager rebooter) make a backup of your current stock ROM, Wipe Cache and Dalvik, then install ROM using recovery.

Edit: To install a custom ROM you have to have an unlocked bootloader and recovery installed.

There are a few apps on the Play Store that would backup your apps, but as far as I know, you have to be rooted to backup your data. There might be another way, but I'm not sure so maybe someone else will pipe in.
