Help please.. Can't access N4 if MTP is turned off or in Fastboot

Nexus 4 running 4.4.2. Bootloader version - MAKOZ30d

I was successful in running the toolkit and unlocking my bootloader but when the phone restarted in fastboot mode my computer doesn't recognize it. I've tried reloading drivers in Windows7 and tried in linux mint as well. When I plug in the phone in mint.. it recognizes the phone in MTP mode only, whether or not usb degugging is on... Windows drivers seem to be screwed up because it recognizes sometimes and not others. I have two different usb cables and have tried this on multiple machines running both os's.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

Solution for trouble with recognizing ADB

For anybody having trouble with your computer recognizing your tablet as ADB, I found a solution that worked for me. I switched the USB connection from MTP to camera (PTP). As soon as I did this, the prompt to allow access popped up. I allowd access and was able to proceed with unlocking the bootloader and then rooting.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] NLBeev:
When the Nexus restarts in fastboot mode you need an adb fastboot driver on the PC.

Leave the nexus connected.

Start the windows device manager, find the usb-device and update the driver.

Just curious how long the backup process lasts when run with the toolkit? I've been running mine close to 45 mins, and it seems to be stuck on backing up an app now for the past 15 mins. Haven't touched it since it started. Is it worth restarting it to make sure it runs properly? Thx in advance for the help!

Edit: Nvm, seems to be working fine now. The app that was taking forever, was a game. I noticed that that happens with game apk files.

Working on it now. Been really busy though with another project though; https://capsules.io/ks.html

Multiple recoveries installed!?

Wug Fresh I use your kit to root my N7 (2012) and my N5. But I like CWM instead of TWRP. I choose to only temporarily use TWRP for rooting and select CMW as my recovery of choice. Once my device is booted up and I'm in Rom Manager It tells me I have TWRP and[/I ]CMW installed and I don't know how to get rid of TWRP. Is that how it's supposed to work? I thought TWRP was only temporary. And why can't I get rid of it after? If you or anyone out there could help me out, that'd be amazing! Thanks﻿

Conflict with drivers with 2 Nexus devices

Hi,

I have a Nexus 7 and my wife a Nexus 10.

Each time I want to use this EXCELLENT tool I have to do the complete process of driver installation when I am connecting the other device.

Is there a way to drivers of the two tablets coexisting?

Thanks
[Nexus 7 Android Development] keneth_c:
Click "ClockworkMod Recovery" under "Install & Update" (see screenshot).

That should install CWM recovery for you.

Good Luck :)

I used to have the same problem with my n4 & n7, strangely , the problem has recently disappeared, no idea why
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Try using different USB ports for each device and sticking to those "dedicated" ports. Inconsistencies like that are related to windows being weird.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] b_hermon:
Keneth_c

Well immediately following the toolkit process I have CWMR installed. And I too have, at times, done what you suggested, but not matter what I do, it still always displays like the screenshot on the bottom. That I have two recoveries installed. I just want to get rid of TWRP
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
I am really curious about this. I know for certain that TWRP doesn't get flashed, but for whatever reason that app thinks its still there. I wonder where it looks to determine that. It must be some text file it sees, maybe a log. I will have to check it out.

Is CWM of Nexus 7 unstable?

does that problem fix in ver.1.5.3?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] nicksoph:
There is an issue with getting the recovery to boot using a power on key combination, and there was an issue with the backups in a hacked version of cwm but I think otherwise it all seems to work.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] danny8:
I wouldn't say it is unstable.

It seems to work properly, although I haven't tried restoring the one backup I've created with it.

It is difficult or impossible to enter CWM from a cold start. At least for some of us. Everyone AFAIK is able to start CWM from a running tablet.

Hi Danny

might I ask you to try something out?

Plug in a usb cable thats attached to a pc and go thru the same process.

yes - can get to cwm from fastboot screen and No dont have to start bootloader every time

thanks

nick
[Nexus 7 Android Development] danny8:
No, I want to be just like you if you can start CWM from cold. I don't mind the intermediate menu.

It goes black for one second and the fastboot screen cones back up. The next step where I select recovery is where you and I deviate.

OK, I'm getting out the laptop. I'll report back. Thanks for engaging.

(I was thinking about scanning backwards to see if you had done other stuff to get where you are. But I didn't think I'd missed much.

Still waiting for someone else to "eureka it worked" your fix.:)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] nicksoph:
what's the opposite of eureka? Having fiddled with mine Im now in a position where it will only [Vol-]On boot if its plugged in - which wasnt needed last night.

At the moment my N7 is only capable of booting into the Fastboot screen if a usb cable is attached to pc when the N7 is turned on - once its turned on and and showing the fastboot screen you can remove the usb cable (or not) and it works as expected.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] danny8:
Ha ha. It didn't occur to me to specify that the failure does not manifest when tethered to a computer. I should have specified that but I overlooked it. Let me know if you duplicate the untethered fix.

I did not get to the recovery question. I was about to re-read your steps when I saw your newest reply.

There are a lot of variables to consider, but the basic hangup (if I may speak for others) is that one will be SOL (insert appropriate euphemism) in the event of a failed ROM flash.

And the requisite repair cruft -- USB cable, computer, working fully-licensed copy of Windows, a rarified Linux distro that's not completely hosed, etc) is unavailable.

"Why undertake such delicate procedures (flashing a new ROM) without proper tools?" you ask.

I look you square in the eye and declaim "I want a simple life."

.... or simply use ROM Manager to do this ... then do a Nandroid backup. All good.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Salty Wagyu:
Thanks, all working good!

It hanged on checking ADB Status (probably because 1 of 3 drivers wasn't found, the "Nexus" driver). So I ended process on Nexus Root Toolkit then installed the missing driver from Naked drivers set, as the manual instructions were a bit discouraging when it mentioned Samsung stuff. Did however follow the rest of the instructions to check ADB status and Fastboot status - all good.

Unlocked Bootloader

Launched Advanced Utilities and booted into temp CWM to make a nandroid backup

Will OTA Rootkeeper be able to restore root if I did an OTA update from zip? The app is expecting Superuser to be installed, and this Toolkit uses SuperSU instead. Wondered if it matters.

Thanks for making this tool. I had to manual install nexus driver, but point to your tools worked fine.

I removed all others drivers that point to nexus from prior testing.

I have the SDK and three other tablets drivers too. Not rooted just did backup of apps and data.

Again thanks.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] caanda45:
Guys just taught myself the adb stuff (I am a really old man, not like you young pups) finally got it to see my N7. Can anyone be so kind as to give me the commands to get it into cwm recovery mode please and thanks. Just would like to be able to fix this with adb if I get into a bad flash to get into cwm....Do these question make any sense?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Gam3r 4 Life:
If your PC sees your device you can boot into recovery with the command "adb reboot recovery" minus the quotes. And once your booted you can also use the app quickboot to get into recovery. Or you can get there manually by having your nexus attached to your pc with a usb cable. Then power it on while holding volume up and volume down. Then once you see the "start" you press down on the volume down button twice until it says recovery, then press power. Hope that helps you out.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] keneth_c:
Ignore the ROM Manager app...

"Recoveries installed" doesn't actually tell u what recovery is installed. It basically is a question to you for ROM Manager to know what recovery is installed... (Atleast the page that u are talking about). Basically tells ROM Manager if you are using CWM or TWRP as your default recovery.

Yes it's sort of weird...!!

Try clicking TWRP on that page... And see what happens. Literally nothing will happen.

The main page of ROM Manager will tell u what recovery u actually have on ur phone....

Both Recoveries will not exist on ur device at the same time. So don't worry about it.

@WugFresh

I have the OTA zip to update to 4.4.3 from 4.4.2. However OTA zip (for tilapia / nakasig btw) failed on installing using TWRP.

Said SMSBasicReceiver.apk error.

I then disabled SMS tethering and disabled Xposed framework. And then I was getting some other error...

So basically I use use the toolkit to update to 4.4.3 without losing data. What can I do?

[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Oh.. Is that what he was talking about. When ROM manager asks you? Yeah, that's because that app wants to know what to do when flashing. Thanks.

Thanks Kenneth_C! Someone else on G+ said something similar so I'll take your word for it. But I think Koush needs to really re-word that screen. Frankly its misleading because what he has in the title on that screen doesn't at all describe what you're saying. Regardless, I still think you're right at this point. Thanks for the help!

---------- Post added at 03:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:47 PM ----------

Wug, I think Kenneth_C has clarified my confusion on the issue, however, even though you said that TWRP isn't flashed on my device, after the root kit is totally finished there's still a TWRP folder left behind on my virtual SD card. It has a single file in it " .twrp "
[Nexus 7 Android Development] keneth_c:
Definitely recommend keeping TWRP permanently though but it's up to you :)

[Nexus 7 Android Development] striker59:
First let me say with 420 pages its hard to read through them all to find a similar problem and solution. I installed the 4.4.3 update on my nexus 10 by using the toolkit. I decided to go back to 4.4.2, got my files and started to go back. Toolkit started:

Erasing boot okay

Erasing cache okay

Erasing recovery okay

Erasing system okay

Erasing user data okay

Sending boot loader

Writing boot loader finished

Rebooting into boot loader finished

Then the problem

Waiting for device..........

That's it, there is nothing after that, no recovery, no ADB

Help, thinking now I'll have to learn about developer tools.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Most likely a simple connectivity issue. Troubleshooting solutions are:

Alternate USB port (preferably a 2.0 port if available)

Alternate USB cord (preferably oem cable if available)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] striker59:
If its a connectivity issue why does it recognize Fastboot? I can reload bootloader and it restarts. What I see is Fastboot works and ADB doesn't.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] striker59:
No worries, I used Fastboot and command prompt to get running again. I think you have a good toolkit I just got myself in trouble.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Then its a driver issue. Adb and fastboot are configured separately.

Couple of Questions, If YOu Don't Mind...

to anybody here, i want to know:

Can i use this toolkit to sideload an OTA update manually to my Nexus 7 (Grouper) even when my bootloader is still locked and without losing data?

Any Nexus 7 Grouper user here? If you already have the OTA and somehow still have the OTA file, can you email it to me? really want to update mine.:D

On the utilities menu, on that option to sideload OTAs, can it be used to sideload factory image?

i may sound impatient..but yes, i am..hehe..:D i am from the Philippines (Asia), and updates are starting to roll out for the Tilapia version. i dunno if Groupers in other countries already recieved their updates. My N7 is not connected to any network (what's the term for that again? unbranded?)

tia.:)

EDIT: nevermind question !.:D Found the answer when i opened my copy of the toolkit and explored the menus.:

EDIT 2: Sorry for my number 2 question..esp to you Mr. [MENTION=3110798]WugFresh[/MENTION], i know this is not a toolkit related question.My apologies.:D
[Nexus 7 Android Development] GrillMouster:
This past Saturday this toolkit was unable to download the stock recovery for the N7 (2013 Wifi). Since my N7 had permanent TWRP, it needed the stock recovery to sideload adb the official OTA upgrade file I downloaded. The toolkit showed a successful download of stock recovery, but kept failing when it checked the hash. I tried this several times and it didnt' work. I then selected the option to manually download it using the link provided by the toolkit, but the file never completed a successful download; Chrome kept saying the file was corrupted. So, I extracted the stock recovery from the official Google Developers page, and flashed that.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] keneth_c:
Wonder if it was the same case for the N7 v1 (3G)... There seemed to be no recovery when I tried to flash stock recovery.

Also [MENTION=3110798]WugFresh[/MENTION]

Doesn't the stock recovery (4.4.3) for nakasig give u options for installing zip etc.?

After successful flash of stock + unroot (4.4.3), device would try to run recovery to finish the process... But I would end up with the stock recovery icon with red exclamation. Luckily... Hard booting the device... Would kick in the OS and device would start normally.

I tried rebooting into recovery (stock) again... And I would get the same stock recovery icon with red exclamation.

Was just wondering...

Either ways I'm on custom recovery TWRP v2.7.1.0 now...

Hey guys, speaking of flashing recovery, I actually had a question about that. I was double checking here I was going to “Restore Stock Recovery” but I also saw the "Flash (permanent) / Recovery" button in the Advanced options as well.

What's the difference between these two options?

Also, I'm all stock so I think this will work, but I do have Xposed installed. I know I need to uninstall it first but does anyone know, do I have to install each module first, then Xposed framework? or can I get by with only uninstalling Xposed? Thanks!

I have a quick question.

I have a Nexus 5 phone and use the tool kit all the time. Works 100%

My PC has Windows 8.1 Update installed and I had to do some work with the drivers to get things working but all is well.

My problem is this: I also own a Nexus 7 2013 model. Both the phone and the tablet have been updated to 4.4.3.

AS I said, the phone shows up in Explorer as either MTP or PTP. The tablet will only show up as a camera PTP so

I have no ability to connect to the tool kit and make needed changes to system files as I do with the N5.

I use BOX to upload the files and then download the files to the tablet and then flash them. PIA if you ask me :)

Does anyone have a simple trick to make the tablet work with the tool kit? (without loosing me N5 connection)

Many thanks

No luck I am afraid. Oh well, many thanks for your help. Wugs kit sees the N5 (MTP) as does the PC no problems at all.. The PC and Wugs Kit will only see the N7 as a camera (PTP) as does the Skipsoft Tool Kit, but both kits have access to ADB and Fastboot via PTP.

At least I can do what I need to do with both. The only thing I can not do with the N7 is to load files from/on it but am able to use Box to do that so all is well in my world. Unlocking, rooting and loading ROMS on both devices works, that's what I need to have.

Again, thanks for you help :):)
