Thanks for the reply, but if I hold down the power button I don´t even have the reboot option...I´m on stock but rooted, maybe that is the problem.

I have one problem now...before unlocking and rooting, when I plugged my N7 to the PC, it was detected by the pc and I was able to browse the N7 sdcard content without having usb debbug turned on.

Now that I unlocked and rooted it, when I connect the N7 to the Pc nothing happens, I mean, on "my PC" the nexus 7 is not detected, but if I turn on usb debbug under develpment settings my n7 is detected and I can transfer files to it from my PC. Is this normal??

Should I always leave USB debbug mode ON from now on???

Thanks in advance for the help!!!

You can't just download superSu from the play store and get rooted. You have to flash the zip file. NRT does all this very well. If you want to do it on your own, you need to download the zip file from Chainfire's XDA page and flash it in recovery. Feel free to P.M. me with any questions.

1. The ability to select a reboot option from the power menu is not stock android, it's a mod. I believe what the other person was saying was if you hold down the power button the unit will reboot...it's a fail safe. To get into recovery from boot, hold the volume down button while turning on the N7 to get to the bootloader, then volume up twice until the recovery option is listed in the upper right and press power to select.

2. That isn't normal but sometimes rooted causes the pc to fail to recognize the N7. Uninstall the drivers, reboot pc, (reboot nexus for good measure) reinstall drivers and it should work again without having to have USB debugging selected.

Looks like I'm booted and rooted just fine. Sorry for my previous ignorance. Thank you very much for the easy boot/root method too. :good:
[Nexus 7 Android Development] FiveOhFour:
I think, and its just a hunch, im not a programmer or nearly as skilled as many of you so take this with a grain but that its mostly user error thats not the fault of the user, its more just variations in windows handling of drivers and recognizing usb devices. For instance Wug if you install the manual PDAnet drivers then you can skip a couple steps, especially if you arent using a samsung device, and depending on how windows treated your drivers you might be fine, or you may need to restart once to get the windows update driver as well, which for me installed just about nstantly after installing the manual drivers. To reiterate the 32 bit manual driver worked fine for me, but it could have tricked me into thinking it failed momentarily because the second check in the guide, fastboot or bootlaoder i think failed to detect a device at first, i closed out the program and restarted it and it worked fine, it for some reason wasnt detecting drivers changes that occured while that current instance was open. Fool around and try a few things before you give up on the PDANet drivers because i feel like those seem to be key here. I havent tried those naked drivers you linked to above, assuming it would help ill try to uninstall the working drivers and see if those work as well on my 32 bit system, i also want to see how it handles my bootcamp partition, which always suprised me how well the bootcamp drivers for windows are written, especially USB device support.

I haven't seen this mentioned yet but I am having an issue just trying to install the toolkit. On either US or UK link from Softpedia. After I download the toolkit and click the .exe it opens the installer and extracting then I get:

CRC failed in data\drivers\Verizon_Wireless_I515_Galaxy_Nexus_USB_Driver_v1.4.6.0.exe

The installer then tells me to redownload a fresh copy. This has happened 5 times now, both links.

This is a Win 7 64 bit machine. The odd thing is the installer ran to completion on my Win 8 preview copy earlier today.

Any help? I've had my N7 for half a day now and I have to start blocking ads, they drive me crazy.

Worked beautifully with no issues. Take the time to get the drivers right and you'll be pleased.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Have you hashchecked the download? The hashvalues are posted in the OP and also my favorite hashcheck utility. You may want to try using a download manager/accelerator, like the addon DownloadThemAll for firefox, or some equivalent. And don't use ie ever, because it's a horrible browser. The file size is kinda large so if your download is getting interrupted, it would explain the problem. Hashchecking the download would ensure you had the exact file that I posted.

OK I was finally able to get the drivers you supplied in the toolkit to work after messing around a bit but I'm still not sure why they decided to start working. I tried the driver from the post above and had the same problem with ADB not working so uninstalled them and tried the driver you supplied and it worked. I was able to unlock and root my Nexus 7.

JRO03D Root ?

Does this tool work for build JRO03D ?

I lost root when applying OTA update and unable to re- root using the tool.

during the process everything looks fine no error, however once the tablet boot back there is no root.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Well... I can't account for or help with your connectivity issues. If the file you have downloaded doesn't match the hash values I provided then it's incomplete. That said, although I really doubt that softpedias links would go dead, I can try to post another mirror. I will look into finding another file host.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] AuxiliaryPie:
on the Nex7 tablet, im running JRO03D but the toolkit says JRO03C is supported but i tried it anyway. After following the driver instructions i get stuck at "Checking ADB Status" so i removed the drivers, installed the 64bit PDA Net drivers and still stuck at Checking ADB Drivers when trying to unlock. What could the problem be?

edit- strange fix. I used Task Manager to end the adb task, it auto-restarted and continued to reboot to bootloader. It hung at "rebooting to bootloader" so i ended abd again in task manager, it auto-restarted (the same way) and continued and successfully unlock the bootloader. hope that helps someone else!

edit2- did the same thing to get it to root w/ permanent CWM (use task manager to end adb to get passed ADB status and Bootloader)

edit3- Now im stuck at "Remounting your device with root permissions..." and force ending did not help it..suggestion?

edit4- fixed edit3, had to force close the Toolkit, restarted it and clicked Root with Perm. CWM..worked without a hitch.

thanks dev!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] caanda45:
Well put on permanent cwm, so at the moment is the only way to get into it (cwm) is through a app? I used rom manager, any others? Also can I easily replace i t with twrp if I choose?

I am also on JRO03D and cant get this to work. Is anyone on JRO03D having luck? Also is it me or is this toolkit not Nexus 7 friendly? lol Everything is labeled Samsung this and Samsung that...which I "get" but we're working with ASUS stuff and drivers over here. This just confuses me.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Yes. It works on JRO03D, just select the JRO03C. My fault about all the samsung stuff.. I have a Gnex, and I really didn't think about revising the driver information to not include that anymore, my bad. I will make it more friendly in the next release. Basically, just follow the manual guide.

Sorry for the confusions. I am trying my best to update this thing as rapidly as I can in response to user feedback. I worked out a solution for having and in-built toolkit updater, so it will be easiser for me to support this program in future releases.

Short answer: No. But when you startup the toolkit, it will update itself with the latest files so is a good idea to have internet to do that, but usually if you've done it in the past 2 weeks or so, you won't need to do it again.

I rooted my N4 recently and since then it seems no apps can write the SDCard, I can still download files and install apps but Line can not download stickers, Whatsapp can not download attachments and the final clue that pointed me in the right direction the camera can not store the pictures I take.

After some deubugging I found that camera is trying to write to /storage/legacy/0/DCIM but I have not that pseudo symlink ( I only have /storage/legacy/DCIM )

I am not sure how this happened and how ti fix it, what I did is a adb pull /sdcard to backup all my data before unlocking,

then used Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit v1.6.2 to back up apps and apps data,

unlocked,

rooted,

installed TWRP,

restored everything (including adb push /sdcard)

and finally installed Franco's kernel

I am not sure if the problem is with the adb push or what but I really want to fix this, I will provide logs or test whatever you want, I am open to reinstall everything, but having an unusable SD for apps is a big problem.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] TheByteSmasher:
Did you select the correct build of your N4 for backup and for root/flash etc? Also if you went from 4.1.2 to 4.2.1 with your data restore, did you restore it to the correct place?

TWRP ?

Hi guys!

Sorry for the noob question, I think...

Well, I unlocked and rooted my Nexus 7 3g with this great tool. Now, I would like to flash CM10, but there is a warning in thread:

"PSA: Install the Tilapia Recovery first in order to flash this rom"

I dunno if I have this kind of tool, because I just know to use CWM in my old milestone 2.

Can I just flash CM10 or I have to flash TWRP first ?

Can we have in upcoming releases support for ADB via WLAN?

For any reason, pushing content via ADB USB to my Nexus 7 is slow as hell. I think, it could be a lot faster for me doing that via WLAN.

Well, I´m worried about this warning: "I have seen most of the guides recommend flashing the 'grouper' recovery image. Don't do this. This is why your OTAs and update.zips are failing with 'Status 7'. Those zips have an assert check that ensures you are flashing your zips to the correct device. This is failing if you have a recovery image that was made for a different device", at this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2022270.

Is there a problem?

Thanks so much for your patience !
[Nexus 7 Android Development] MajorMonodon:
What I gather from your posts is this:

You're not sure what recovery to get for your device to flash CM10.

The mistake is obvious, you're talking about your nexus7 3g, which is actually named "Tilapia", while "Grouper" represents the Wi-Fi only version. If you want to install TWRP, which I recommend, on your device, or any other Recovery in fact, you have to get the Tilapia version, not the Gouper one. The annoying thing is that it is possible that there isn't one yet for your device, and when you install the Grouper version, as you mentioned in the quoted post, the recovery would think it's not a 3G model, therefore not allowing you to install Tilapia Roms.

Anyone correct me if I'm wrong on any of this.

Edit:

http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/tilapia/openrecovery-twrp-2.3.3.0-tilapia.img

Here's the one you would want. Flash it with the toolkit, in the advanced menu, and you should be good to go. The link came from the official TWRP page.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] rthisp:
I thought the nexus wifi version was called "nakasi", while the 3g version "tilapia".

But the wifi version is also called "grouper / nakasi", while 3 g version is called "tilapia / nakasi".

Now, the things starting to get some sense...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] MajorMonodon:
Almost correct:

Nakasi = Grouper = Nexus 7 Wi-Fi

Nakasig = Tilapia = Nexus 7 3G

Edit:

I figure it by this page:

Re: [Toolkit] Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit v1.6.2 [Updated 12/29/12]

If you select the 3g nexus 7 in the toolkit, it will download the official tilapia twrp/cwm recovery when rooting. You can just run the root again with custom recovery checked. You can do that or flash it with flash to recovery in advanced utilities.

Re: [Toolkit] Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit v1.6.2 [Updated 12/29/12]

@Wug please I need your help!

I used this awesome toolkit to unlock and root my Nexus 7 (wifi only) with no problem at all, I followed every step on it and I have successfully unlocked and rooted it.

The problem is that before installing the toolkit and all the stuff on my pc running windows 8 pro, when my N7 was on stock 4.2.1 and I plugged it to my pc it was recognized as an mtp device so I could transfer files between my pc and n7 with no problems at all, after installing the toolkit, unlocked and root it, when I connect my n7 to the pc it is recognized as you can see on the picture attached, but under my pc the n7 is not there unless I turn on us debugging on the n7. As soon as I activate use debugging on the n7 my pc recognize it as an mtp device.

Is this normal or something is wrong with the drivers and stuff??

Should I always leave usb debugging option enabled on my N7 so my pc can recognize it?? Even if I'm not going to flash it or do anything that really need us debugging mode to be on??

Thanks a lot in advance for the help!

You have to keep USB debugging enabled. You may even have to restore the developer options so you can switch it on when you flash a different ROM.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Re: [Toolkit] Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit v1.6.2 [Updated 12/29/12]

That's a little weird. So to be clear, you are saying that without usb debugging enabled on your device your computer doesn't show it as anything? Not even a "mass storage" device? Like you can't access the sdcard?

If that's the case that is strange.. Not really the biggest problem though since there's no real drawback to having usb debugging enabled.

I have it enabled all the time, but if it's disabled I can still see the sdcard. If it really bugs you can try reinstalling the drivers using an alternate solution like solution #3, just be sure to start at step 1 again, uninstalling everything first.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] CrazyIvan:
I also used your tool to unlock/root an N7 3G.

After being unable to mount the rooted N7 3G's file system in Windows7, trying all combinations of USB/debug modes, I eventually had to uninstall the ADB device for my N7 in Windows7 device manager and also uninstall the driver. As soon as I did that the Nexus 7 appeared as a mass storage device. That is with MTP and USB debug on. So something to do with the ADB driver.

Strangely, before I uninstalled the driver, if I used PTP mode vs. MTP I could see the DCIM folder on the N7 but it wasn't writeable. I was using the driver that the toolkit recommended.

Thanks for the great toolkit!
