Re: [Toolkit] Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit v1.6.3 [Updated 02/24/13]

It looks like it wants you to have a particular baseband to update. You should grab that radio.img from the extracted factory image package from 4.2.1 and flash it with the toolkits advanced utilities - Flash to radio/baseband button.

If you still can't figure it out, I could repackage you a modified factory image package that doesn't do that check.

Re: [Toolkit] Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit v1.6.3 [Updated 02/24/13]

Your best un rooted backup solutions are; creating an android backup file with neither system/shared options checked, and then also doing a data/media backup (which will effectively backup all your sdcard contents and will probably take a really long time). Please read the tooltips, which explain all this.

You can of course also take additional backup measures outside of the toolkit like using apps to sync/backup your data onto your computer or cloud storage.

Regarding things like pictures, storing them in the cloud is always the best option in my opinion. Grab yourself an app like Google drive or Dropbox or photobucket, or whatever.

The best backup solutions are unfortunately unavailable without root, but doing those recommendations should do a pretty good job.

Re: [Toolkit] Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit v1.6.3 [Updated 02/24/13]

Within SuperSU options there is a button for full unroot. Why you would ever want to do this when running a custom ROM is unknown to me, but yes its technically possible.. However if your custom kernel had settings to do things like load custom governors or cpu frequencies on boot, that would require root access and would fail.. And if the ROM had any other scripts which required writing to your system, they would also fail.

Unrooting is actually a security risk in my opinion, because you lose having explicit control over which apps can get superuser permissions; therefore if you accidentally installed a malicious app that effectively exploited a security vulnerability in android, then you would be completely screwed - you wouldn't have a superuser app in place to effectively block the unauthorized system level access and therefore prevent the virulent from fully compromising your system and/or sensitive information.

I did not find this image so I tried to selected 4.2.1 using Flash Stock + Unroot and this worked perfect.

After a few minutes using WLAN connection and a reboot I got the message that 4.2.2 update is available. So I did the update in this way.

After that, the device was still unlocked and has only to be rooted again, what - of course - also worked.

Thanks!

I am really sorry for bothering you again! When I try to initiate the suggested data/media backup it says I can't use in on Android 4.2.2 (which is the version I am running) without having bootloader unlocked. That's kind of a "chicken-egg problem" to me. So I'm stuck... if you could give me any other hint it would help a lot. Sorry again for being noob.

Hey everyone. I've sucessfully unlocked and rooted both my galaxy nexus and my nexus 7. Just got a nexus 10 today but no matter what I do I can't get windows 8 to recognize it. Any help would be appreciated.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Leonhan:
Please help me! I did not have this problem before so I don't know why it just happened. Anyway, I recently reformatted my machine due to an infection, and I went on to install nexus adb and fastboot drivers. I used the google_usb drivers via the device manager; but every time I update driver, it says "The best drivers are already installed", and its Android Composite Adb interface and not ADB interface. So I checked via adb devices to see if it was indeed installed correctly, but to my dismay, no adb devices were found. I tried using wugs toolkit(1.6.3) and did the pdanet and raw driver installations, and still the outcome is the same. I uninstalled, used usbdeview to delete usb drivers. reinstalled again, and still the same. Please help.T_T

Re: [Toolkit] Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit v1.6.3 [Updated 02/24/13]

Did you remember the step of fully rebooting your machine after the step where you use usbdeview to uninstall the drivers? Have you gone into control panel and uninstalled any driver installation, like maybe the Samsung drivers?

Rebooting your machine is key. Also try alternate usb ports, preferably 2.0 ports.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Re: [Toolkit] Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit v1.6.3 [Updated 02/24/13]

Factory reset:

1. From a completely powered off state manually boot your device into booloader mode: Press and hold all three buttons to boot up (Volume UP+DOWN+Power)

2. Once in bootloader mode, use the volume keys to switch the display option to "Recovery" and press the power button to enter that mode.

3. If you have TWRP, then use Wipe>Data/Factory reset, then back, and "Reboot System"

.. If you get an android on its back with a red exclamation point instead, then you just have stock recovery: short press all three buttons at the same time or tap them all to bring up the stock recovery menu. Then use the volume button to highlight "Wipe data/factory reset" and select it with the power button, then "reboot system"

If all that doesn't work, then use the toolkit on a Windows machine to flash stock. Or search for a manual guide via adb, or with the flash-all.sh script included in those factory image packages.

Hi all. I'm using Wug's Toolkit to root my brand spankin new Nexus 7. I'm following the directions in the driver guide and get up to the step where I update the Nexus 7 drivers and browse to the Wug folder. I'm on Windows 7, and for step 1 I went into the control panel, right clicked on the Nexus 7 and clicked "uninstall." There was no check box for "Delete the driver software for this device." I then went ahead and got rid of any drivers using USBDeview. Following a reboot, I plugged my Nexus 7 back in, right clicked and hit update driver. I browsed to the correct Wug folder, hit next and got the following error: "Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it."

I tried different USB ports, reboots and all. My Nexus 7 is in debugging mode.

After about the 5th try it finally installed the driver successfully, but I couldn't find my device in the device manager. The list kept refreshing, and the Nexus would sometimes show up under "other devices" the the yellow exclamation point. Any clue what's going on here?

Thanks for the help!

Re: [Toolkit] Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit v1.6.3 [Updated 02/24/13]

Sounds like faulty hardware. Try alternate driver solutions, making sure to start back at step 1 (that being, uninstalling any/all non working drivers), and if that still doesn't work, if you can access another computer, try that. If still no go and similar malfunctioning behavior, chances are your devices usb port is faulty. If its still under warranty look to get a replacement or if not, look to fix it.

@Wug

I have a strange issue with my Gnex (4.2.2, takju). I rooted it a while ago as I was on 4.1 and I tried to keep the root with OTA Rootkeeper when updating to 4.2.2. But as you know, Superuser stopped working then and I had to switch to SuperSU. I used your toolkit in order to root it again (without unrooting first, I just cleaned up). The process worked fine, but in the end, I don't get any notification about updating binary when starting SuperSU and moreover, I can't install Busybox cause my device seems to be "not properly rooted". Any ideas on fixing this? Awesome work btw :good:

EDIT:Binary Update suceeded. But I still can't install Busybox, it just doesn't ask for root access.

Cannot Update to 1.6.3

Hi Wug,

I cannot update to 1.6.3. I get a hascheck mismatch error. Tried to update TWRP and Supersu and it said there was an error with goo.im.

I rooted using your toolkit, and now want to update to 4.2.2. Already downloaded the JDQ39 image for my nakasig.

Any thoughts? Should I try again later? Also, read a comment here and one on your website saying the modified bootloader is not available on goo.im? Do I need this for "Flash stock + unroot" function. I'm guessing I do.

Hi Wug,

So I tried again today, and managed to update to 1.6.3 using the update feature. I'm almost all set to use your "Flash Stock + Unroot" feature to upgrade to 4.2.2. I already downloaded the JDQ39 factory image.

I wanted to use this feature as it seems to be more convenient than going back to stock and then the OTA.

My question was, does flashing the factory image also update the radio and bootloader?

I'm not sure if that happens as well. Please let me know, or anyone else who knows this.

Thank you.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Neo3369:
I tried using the "Flash Stock + Unroot" feature, but it looks like it updated only my bootloader, and not the radio. During the flashing process, I remember seeing the line "Could not find recovery.sig" in the archive and "Could not find baseband.sig" in the archive. For the second one, I'm not exactly sure if it was baseband.sig. Sorry, about that, it happened quite fast, I couldnt even take a screenshot.

It then went to the terminal sreen where it said "waiting for your device to reboot, please be patient.." etc etc. The thing is, I remained in the bootloader, and when I rebooted I went bak to the custom rom. I definately updated my bootloader though.

Perhaps the problem is the custom recovery was not flashed in order to flash the radio. I thought this would be part of the "Flash Stock + Unroot" feature, but I think I have to restore custome recovery for

4.2.2

(Correct?) from Advanced utilities, and then run the "Flash Stock + Unroot" Feature? Can someone tell me if this is correct?

Also, once I have flashed the factory image after ding the above, I DON'T want to relock the bootloader. I just want to stay rooted and go bak to my preferred custom recovery/ROM. SO for this, I'll have to do a permanent flash of the custom recovery from Advanced Utilities, right?

Would be obliged if someone could confirm/correct me. Thank you.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] j0bb13:
Hey Neo3369,

I had the same problem. It turns out there is a little bug in 1.6.3, which makes returning to stock impossible.

It took me a while before I figured out what the program was doing wrong, but it appears to be just one little typo in a .bat file ;)

How to fix it:

1. Go to the folder where you installed Nexus Root Toolkit 1.6.3

2. Go to the folder data

3. Right click on flashstock.bat, click edit

4. On line 8 it says call "%~dp0Stored\WhatToFlash.bat"

5. You should add a backslash between de 0 and the S. So it should become: call "%~dp0\Stored\WhatToFlash.bat

6. Save the file and start Nexus Root Toolkit normally. It should work fine now.

I hope this helps!

Please click the thanks button if it did. I don't know what the thanks button does, but I'm keen to find out :p

Hi all,

I just did a fresh install of jdq39 with the toolkit (1.6.3). I want to root (without installing custom recocery) but there is a problem.

During the root process, there is a step where nexus 7 is in the twrp recovery and the toolkit is showing "rooting" message. After that, the message changes to "waiting device to reboot", but nexus 7 never reboots and just stays in the twrp recovery menu.

Any ideas? My driver is set up correctly, because I've rooted the same way before on a different nexus 7 (albeit it was for Android 4.1.2, and I checked "install custom recovery" option that time).

I'm currently using CM 10.1 and I wanted to go back to stock. So, I went to the toolkit and used the Back to Stock option, everything goes well until it opens the command prompt and does its things.

Re: [Toolkit] Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit v1.6.3 [Updated 02/24/13]

Sounds like you didn't switch the toolkit to specify your device as 4.2.2 now, but rather left it as 4.2.1. Your problem is consistent with setting the incorrect device/build. You can also use "any build" mode for rooting whenever you want for any build if you are having trouble.

Not sure why you are doing this.

%~dp0 includes a trailing backslash so my syntax is correct.

By making that edit you are actually issuing this command:

SomePath\\Stored\WhatToFlash.bat

I guess this is still working for you though. I will look into more I guess, but I have been using the same syntax for this particular script since v1.0. Where do you have the toolkit installed too? What path?

I have experience with several other devices like my captivate, captivate glide, intercept, and moto milestone, but this is the first I've owned that has had bootloaders locked so its a bit weird for me, but since I rooted my nexus 7 32gb WiFi it has been rebooting every half hour or so, I'm using stock 4.2.2 and am confused why it would keep rebooting like this since all I have done is recovery cwm and root... Any ideas or is it that there kernel is having problems like my captivate did and had to flash non stock kernel to it to fix the issues it was having of not being full root?

Re: [Toolkit] Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit v1.6.3 [Updated 02/24/13]

Based on what you explained you should not have this problem. My guess is that it's related to some root app, maybe you are overclocking or something? Either way, if you are having unexplained anomalies the best course of action would simply be to reflash stock. Then you can be sure that you are fully stock again before proceeding to reroot your device. Be sure to test your unrooted stock device for a little to be sure the same problem you are facing doesn't persist. If it does then it may be hardware related. Use the "Flash Stock +Unroot" button. No, unlocking/relocking shouldn't matter. Cheers.
