Just double checked, there is only 4D and 3C.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] noneabove:
Fair enough, better safe than sorry! Thanks so much, because of you my warranty replacement tablet will be identical to the one I have within minutes haha ;P Backing my tablet up will probably take longer than it will to root my new one haha!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] snipe2nite:
Good call I just picked 4.1.1 and all went good... I was not talking down to you I was just looking out for you... Good looking out on the details I respect that! Maybe Wug can chime in on the details.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] slight22:
So if i run this unlocker and root system, but only use the stock rom, I will still get future OTA updates correct?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] erick0423:
Yes flash stock and unroot options, I downloaded JROO3D which I'm on right now, this will wipe Twrp too right? thank you will donate when I get my check this Friday!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] cyr0s:
It's cool bro, I'll just wait until Wug chimes in.

EDIT: Just looked through the thread again, and found this. Judging by the sucess of both yourself and this guy, I imagine that 3C works.

Rom help

Alright, I unlocked the N7 and rooted, but I'm confused on how to open up CWM to install the zip rom file. I hold the power and volume down and get a Google screen with an unlocked padlock at the bottom, anyone else get this?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] mmegalodon:
You need to be plugged into a USB power source, like your computer. Someone said it worked on their XBOX, but not the PS3.

You can use an app as well. I use Terminal Emulator; launch terminal > su *enter* > reboot recovery *enter* > profit?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] mikemol:
Before I rooted the tablet using the toolkit my tablet downloaded the system update. I didn't install it thinking it might prevent the root. I rooted the tablet, installed root keeper and after that it stopped offering me to install the update. I tried to check for system update but now it doesn't find any. How can I update it to 4.1.1?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] porkus:
i aint no expert but: download and flash a 4.1.1 rom?? maybe
[Nexus 7 Android Development] mikemol:
I can sure flash a custom rom that's already updated to 4.1.1 but I don't want to change the rom at the moment. I just want to be able to update it to the latest version but when I check for an update it now says that my system is up to date. Rooting shouldn't stop me from getting OTA updates, right?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Elting:
After rooting with 1.5.2 I got root permissions, but I cannot boot into CWM!? If I do so, I stuck in the Google Logo! Any suggestions?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] caanda45:
Yup a bug in the system by google, has not been fixed yet. So going into cwm in the fastboot screen is not possible @ this time. To get into recovery either use the toolkit, rom manager or quick boot. The last two can be downloaded from the play store.

Also for guys looking for the right update in the toolkit the JRO03C labeled software works just fine if you have the JRO3D. It has been mentioned many times here in this thread....root away!!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] mmegalodon:
Provided recovery was permanently installed, have you tried booting into recovery when plugged in via USB? Or use one of the various apps that can boot into recovery?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Elting:
Thx man! You safed my day! With Quick Boot I can boot into CWM. I think a hint in the first post would be helpful!?

Never heard about this bug...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] leelaa:
Download the factory image. And then flash it using the toolkit.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] tnyankee:
That's what I had to do. In my haste upon receiving the N7, I rooted it (with another method)), then realized I had to go back to stock (with the tool kit), wait a short bit for the update notice to come in again, apply that, then back to root (with this toolkit).
[Nexus 7 Android Development] stewarta:
... sorry to repeat myself ... Use ROM Manager and boot into CWM Recovery, or do a Nandorid Backup from ROM Manager. Yes, you can later rename your backup files using Root Explorer if you need to.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] leelaa:
I use reboot recovery from play store.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] mmegalodon:
Yeah, a plethora of options. I've always looked for additional methods, especially when my Evo power button started to loosen, so it's not a big deal for me.

I always have Terminal Emulator installed too, so a little extra fun. XD
[Nexus 7 Android Development] stewarta:
+1 to TE.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Elting:
Yeah, but the 'problem' is, if you cannot boot normaly in your ROM to use Quick Boot or what ever to boot into CWM (you know there are situations like that :D) then you are not able to start CWM via fastboot! I would call this a soft brick... The only way that would help in this case is to flash a factory image via fastboot because you cannot boot into CWM anymore...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] DataHawg:
Yes this is a problem but we all have the problem and until the smart devs figure out a workaround or change the bootloader so we can cold boot into CWM we just have to live with it.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Elting:
OK! I just wanted to clarify it for me that this is not merely a Toolkit issue, but rather a general issue!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] DataHawg:
No problem. No doubt it's being worked on but until a solution is found we'll just have to be careful not to do anything that might cause a bootloop unless you have a device to plug into.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] caanda45:
It is not an issue that is from the toolkit or any or the cwm`s, it is a issue with the base code and only google can fix it. They will as they will have issues with stock tablets that for some reason need a recovery and they will not be able to fix remotely by the user. Wug did mention it here in this thread that it is a major google issue....as long as we can get into fastboot the fail safe as I see it we can`t get out of stuff is flash the stock factory image as a last resort. If not they adb commands to get to recovery!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Multisaft7:
I can boot in recovery from bootloader....
[Nexus 7 Android Development] caanda45:
You are one of the lucky ones!!!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Multisaft7:
Maybe it works with your devices....

I boot in bootloader without USB plugged.... it doesn't work....

But when USB IS PLUG....it works....

Feedback?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
You are experiencing normal behavior from the feedback I have received. Other developers in the community have confirmed that exact behavior for them; developers who know a lot more than me. Hopefully Google releases an updated bootloader soon or another developer comes up with a fix. I personally do not know how to tackle the problem.

That said. As long as you have bootloader access you can always boot into an alternate recovery by using fastboot boot %customRecoveryImgNamed% or the toolkits temp boot button. Or you can use the USB trick you described.

Rooting unsuccesfull - Verizon GNEX stock 4.04

So I followed the great instructions in v 1.5.2. It says "to finish the process...Open SuperUser ...and tap to check for updates." It shows a current version 3.0.3 with a newer version of 3.1.1 available, it downloads new binaries then fails at "gaining root access". I "Try Again" a few times but it continues to fail.

Any ideas?

(I did post over at GalaxyNexusForum bt see this is the official support site?.)

Thanks
[Nexus 7 Android Development] iamhcg:
HI, I haven't got my Nexus 7 yet. Still waiting for FedEx to come. It'll be in my hand tomorrow, but I have a question already.

After I flash CWM and root it, if in the future there is a OTA update, Can I apply OTA update directily? Or I need to do something first, such as flashing back to stock ROM, before I apply the updates?

Thanks.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] caanda45:
Re-boot and I bet it will all be okay...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Try flashing the latest jelly bean factory images posted on Google's Factory Image Download Site with the flash stock + unroot button, then root with the toolkit.

Google Code - Factory Image Packages

[Nexus 7 Android Development] camphill:
Thanks. I did reboot in hopes that would fix it but it didn't.

Thx

And this will wipe everything? It took me HOURS to reinstall everything and get things back to my liking. Am I missing some terribly easy backup-restore functionality?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] clago87:
So I want to go back to stock but root again afterwards dont want to ROM out just yet. Could I download that .img 4.1.1 from google and flash it through the tool kit? When I try unrooting thgrough the toolkit alone I only get 1% and the hashtag says its mismatch
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Azimuth0r:
Hey guys, I got my tablet yesterday and after charging it, I tested everything, looked for bad pixels, checked audio jack, tested for all the weird defects that everyone has been reporting. Everything looked great. so late yesterday I decided to run the Nexus Root Toolkit, I installed the 64bit alternative drivers, I ran a backup and performed boot unlock and root.

After this process I noticed my tablet storage capacity was detected as 8GB instead of 16GB, I double checked the serial numbers and everything matches the box which is marked as 16GB (which is what I ordered.)

I have found posts in which people have successfully resolved this issue by Flashing the factory firmware; i.e. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1776860

I performed the fast boot re-image but it has not resolved my situation.

I'm hoping someone else who performed the toolkit unlock and root has some experience in resolving this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] cyr0s:
This indicates that the bootloader is unlocked. I believe that you get into the recovery by holding down power, volume up and volume down from your tablet being off.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Typically devices don't lie about storage capacity. One would have to do a lot of tricky things to truly hide storage space. When you connect your device via USB, how much storage space does your computer suggest that your device has? If it says 8gb, my guess is that it has 8gb. That would suck if Google gave you a mislabeled device, but maybe that's what happened for some reason.. Idk.

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Yes. You are probably experiencing the failed download because the toolkit is trying to download an old link. Since Google updated their factory image site, the latest build is 4.1.1, not the 4.1.0 that the toolkit is trying to grab. This will be updated in the next toolkit release. That said, in the Flash Stock + Unroot script there is an option to flash your own factory image package that you downloaded. Just do that and use the one on google's Site. The toolkit will ask you for its hash value (md5sum) to ensure that your package is complete First and then it will flash it.

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
I just read that thread that you linked to.. Maybe it is possible to fix it by Flashing stock. Have you tried using the toolkit to flash stock?

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 7 Android Development] stonebear:
Thank you! :)

That was very easy.

Just checked my backup folder on the PC and it is there with the date and time but it is empty, lol.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Azimuth0r:
Yes, I have tried flashing stock via the toolkit, via the new dev images posted by google(jro03d) and via the old dev images (jrn84d)

every time the device boots I see the same 5.92GB in settings--> storage and via the PC. df also shows:

Filesystem Size Used Free Blksize

/dev 487M 32K 487M 4096

/mnt/asec 487M 0K 487M 4096

/storage/sdcard0 5G 176M 5G 4096

How Bizarre!

Not sure If I should just re-lock and Warranty it out, or wait for more input from XDA contributors.

-Azi
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Did you ever confirmed it was 16GB prior to unlocking and modding your device? Like do you even have a reference point to know for sure something is wrong?

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Azimuth0r:
No I did not think to check before unlocking.

The serial number does match the tag on the box which does state 16GB.

Also, I purchased it via a retailer that does not even sell the 8GB model. -They are out of stock or i'd just exchange it right away.

It seems far more likely that I screwed it up when flashing, Not sure if there are additional fastboot commands to wipe/resize partitions.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] giodelgado:
can I backup, unlock, root and then restore everything like it was before I rooted? can't seem to find this answer...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Landara:
Hey guys I just got my new device(didn't root the old one because i knew from minute one it was going back, screen problems). I was so happy to get the new one and after checking to make sure there were no BS problems this time, I used this toolkit which did seem to work insofar as my device was unlocked and rooted. However, I believe these tablets may have been locked for a very good reason! Soon after complting my unlock and root, my tablet just shut down suddenly. Nothing worked it wouldn't even respond to anything, or turn on. After appearing to be "bricked" for several hours, my tablet woke up of it's own accord and has since been trying everything in it's power(in every way a tablet can) to eat my brains. It never sleeps anymore, it doesn't do as much Google Now as before either. I asked it for a forecast and it told me(albeit politely since I chose UK English for my TTS engine)"There is a 100% chance that I will eat your brains!". Anyone else having this problem?

I will add that the toolkit seemed to work FLAWLESSLY aside from making my tablet act a little funny and attempt to consume me(which I'm forced admit WugFresh NEVER said it wouldn't do). I've already donated, and wanted to say thanks a lot Wug! Now would anyone care to work on a version that's a little less lively?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] rlanza1054:
I did not read your whole message. I got to the part where you said as soon as you rooted your device went blank.

It reminded me of what happened to me. I just could not figure how to reboot.

For me, it turned out to be the 'auto brightness setting' was turning off the screen.

My solution was to do a hard rest, or forced reboot.

I held the power button down for about 20 seconds, a real long time.

All I had to do after that was to turn off auto brightness.

Not sure if this can help, but thought I should mention it.

Will this also install cwm recovery? Or I have to flash it manually?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] caanda45:
Either or can be done...an option to flash it permanently or temporarily or manual can all be done by the toolkit..check out the options on the first page or the toolkit and under the advanced utilities area.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] camphill:
So I've been trying to figure out how to best back this thing up (otherwise it takes many hours restoring everything). I tried "Make Full Backups w/Temp CWM". It says it needs root to perform this. I tried it anyways, even after SU fails to install new binaries and various root checkers says it's not rooted, and the CWM full back up worked!

Is this thing rooted or not? How do I really tell?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] cyr0s:
Why? Just download androidSDK and platform-tools and use the original guide posted by FadedLite here
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Sure. You could certainly do that. I was responding to the question directly. This thread is for support of the NRT, the user asked if there was a Linux version and I told them they could run it through wine. Doing it manually is always an option on any platform.

Trying to download stock for Nexus 7 from within toolkit 1.5.2 fails (automatic) / leads to a broken link (manual).

I worked around it by going to https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#nakasi

Also, USBDview is worth linking to in the original post under external links: http://nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html
[Nexus 7 Android Development] PROlific666:
Ford Denny You may want to try this. I was having a problem flashing cwm in anyway through adb commands or toolkits. I was able to do a one time boot though. This may work for you its worth a try. I only added the second line since the first one was already there and it worked for me after that. Before I added this it would recognize my n7 in adb and fastboot. I could also push apks just fine but it would not flash cwm and since I had changed the name of the original one it would just hang up at the Google screen like it was looking for the recovery IMG.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Capt.PP:
I see in the snapshot, unlock and root are 2 separate buttons. I only need root but it's not possible without unlocked first. :( Finally caught up to the latest post in 3 days, updated drivers, downloaded rootkit and ready to install then find out the hard truth. Anyways, goodjob dev. for this thread.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] iamhcg:
OK. I followed the instruction. Stuck at "FOR ADB CHECK" for a while, then come back and followed other instructions. Now my Nexus 7 is successfully rooted.

Thanks for the good work. It won't be that easy without you guys. :)

By the way, I didn't flash CWM. Only unlock and rooted. When OTA comes, I don't need to adjust anything. Just apply the OTA update and it will be okey, right?

thanks.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
There hasn't been a true root exploit in a while. It's a testament to the security of Android. Unlocking the bootloader is the only way to gain root access on these devices (as far as I know); unless someone can find a new exploit. You can relock afterwards though if you want to... Not sure why you would though.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] bennor3814:
Ran into this same subscript error as well while trying to flash back to stock. The downloader doesn't work because as Google removed the file the downloader tries to link to. Downloaded the Nexus 4.1.1 firmware from this link: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#nakasi and on my Windows 7 x64 machine the firmware file saved as a ".tar" file. Kept getting this error until I moved the file from it's downloaded location to the "C:\Wugs_NexusRootToolkit.v1.5.2\data\Factory_Images" folder and changed the downloaded firmware file extension to ".tgz". Then the flashing program would start the unpacking. Note the unpacking, for some reason, froze twice before the third try proceeded past the unpacking to flashing the Nexus 7.

I've read conflicting answers to this... If I have 4.1.1 and root but don't install another boot loader, will I be able to get 4.1.2 over the air (whenever it comes out)? Or will I have to Flash to Stock + Unroot, wait for the OTA update, then do the unlock + root again?

Or perhaps I would be able to download and install the 4.1.2 update directly without unrooting?
