Thank you for the rapid reply. And again for the great application and for the continual support.

The device is seen just fine by the toolkit. Weird I know. Everything proceeds as normal, with updating, temporary this, permanent that, reboots as required, etc.

The drivers work properly. No problems with communication and with my computer seeing the internal drive of the Nexus 7.

I have not tried another cable, as I only have the one. If I obtain another cable I will test and feedback when possible.

Very weird situation. But the device is working fine!

Thanks as always

UPDATE: I tried flashing the recovery again and this time I am able to boot into recovery from the Nexus. I did not do anything differently, but I suspect there may be a memory problem with my device.

UPDATE: My device has lost root once again after flashing the recovery. Now I have no idea what is going on!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Gloftking:
thats no help unfortunately

Guys I have erased the bootloader and tried to flash another one in and there was an error in fastboot cmd screen once I turned it of it entered the SOD and I haven't managed to turn it back on since

there is no way this could be a charging issue I even re-plugged the charge socket inside it and no avail

how come busybox is still installed when rooting?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
? Have you utilized the " Root options" in the toolkits options menu?

[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Backup data to comp. Reflash stock. Root + custom recovery (checked) with Any Build mode. Follow directions to a T.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] madLyfe:
im not sure if i pay full attention when im doing these things lol i remember when i tested L on my N7 it actually took my back in to root it after it flashed. but on my 4.4.4 flashes i think i always have to go back in and hit the 'root' button after the flash even though it says 'flash stock + unroot'. either way ive just been going in and uninstalling busybox after i see the supersu icon.

hah, now i get what youre saying.. im dumb. anyways, i just unticked that setting. ty

the other thing i answered is still a thing.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] nivlac978:
The program won't open. It keeps saying can't start because of missing MSVCR110.dll
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
I don't understand. Yeah "Flash Stock + Unroot", does exactly that... Hence the need to root again if you want to. I am not understanding you.

ya i dunno. next time i go through the process ill report back. :P

Info

Having some issues when trying to run this on Nexus 10 4.4 via windows 8.1. Device isn't showing up to browse files, and only way I can get success on test is by unchecking MTP. Can I still use this tool to flash back to stock if my nexus 10 isn't showing up on windows 8.1 and it is safe to run NRT with MTP unchecked ?

I used NRT on my nexus 7 without any issues but that was on 4.4.2 not 4.4.4.

Thanks in advance [MENTION=3110798]WugFresh[/MENTION]
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Yes, its safe - the kit just needs adb, MTP s for you, for easy drag-n-drop via explorer. You just have some driver weirdness. Sometimes its good to use alternate USB ports per device you have. You could try using an alt port and trying to reconfigure the drivers again, starting from step 1 (uninstalling stuff), followed by step 2 (mtp toggle), then step 3 (pick a driver solution) to get your MTP working. Also don't forget trying the simple things like restarting your comp (that could fix it).

You can go ahead and flash stock now though no problems. Cheers.

hello there!

its been awhile since I used my N7....

just wanted to ask, Im currently on SmoothROM 5.2 and coming under a rock for so long. it was dead on the water months ago.

now if I wanted to revert back to stock using WUGS. Can i use flash images from google? will that be alright?!

or will WUGS Tool help me find one for my device?

Thank you so much

Wow, amazing app. This made unrooting and relocking such a breeze. Thank you for your amazing program.

I'm old. I'm female. First smartphone. The toolkit was perfect for my new, shiny red N5. Thanks!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] :
I have a problem , when checking software update Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit crashes me the message "can not access the update server" I have a good internet connection and the firewall does not block the program I do not know what to do .I have windows 7 x64bit .Please help :crying:
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Are you certain your firewall is not blocking wug_updater.exe ? That's the file responsible for interacting with the androidfilehost.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jurrasstoil:
Hey,

I bought a Nexus 7 (2012) as a gift for my mother and am currently in the process of bringing it up to date (4.4.4 is installed by now).

I plan to root it so i can install AdFree for her, but that's the only thing that needs root really.

She isn't a tech geek, so I'd like to make it (nearly) impossible for her to screw around with root or even allow other apps to get root.

Is it possible to set the superuser app (that comes with this toolkit) to silent, ie. that it doesn't even show a prompt when an app wants root access and that you have to manually add the app in the superuser app for example (like a whitelist)?

Thanks a lot in advance.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Yeah. Did you look in SuperSU settings?

SuperSU > Settings... Access..

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 7 Android Development] :
I'm sure that a firewall is not blocking wug_updater.exe. :crying:

I uninstalled the firewall and I still have "can not access the update server"
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jurrasstoil:
I haven't rooted it yet. Just wanted to make sure that "hiding" the superuser app or at least its prompts is possible. If it wasn't I'd have to weigh the gains of the convinience of AdFree against the possibility that my mom gives an app root that shouldn't have root.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jake0125:
Had a fresh unupdated nexus 7. It was still running 4.2.2 and was not updated to 4.4. In fact, it was one of the first times it was turned on since new.

My intentions was to install a custom rom and found wug's via some searching etc to root and unlock. I was able to get the drivers and whatnot loaded and had successfully unlocked the device.

After successfully unlocking the device, I clicked on the root button on the toolkit with the check box for Custom Recovery selected. All seemed to go well until the tool kit pop up said, to my memory, something about temp booting to recovery. That's where it froze. I let it sit for about 10 mins with no movement or changes to either the tool kit or the device.

At this point I can get the device into the screen where it has the android with with its "hood" open and where it tells product name, Variant, HW_Version, etc. If I select start, the device screen switches to a screen with GOOGLE on it and the unlocked padlock at the bottom of the screen. It does nothing else. If I select recovery mode, the screen goes blank for a moment then the aforementioned screen comes up(robot with hood open). It does the same when I select restart bootloader. If I select off, the device turns off but the only way to turn it on again is to hit volume down and power.

I think I managed to somehow wipe the device and recovery off the phone. HELP! =)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] norwoodesteel:
Try flashing returned to stock in semi brick mode but flash version 4.2. 2
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jake0125:
Thank you for the idea but I think now that its in the bootloader the drivers are not responding. When I try your idea the toolbox errors out saying no adb found then no fastboot present.

Is there something else I can try like odin?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] norwoodesteel:
Do you have the bootloop / soft boot box checked? And are you in fastboot mode when you start?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Valsorim:
have u tried rerunning wugs toolkit to flash a recovery? it sounds like ur device has been wiped and does not have custom recovery.

u can try latest factory image from here https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?hl=FR

Bricked N7 - Bringing it back to life

[MENTION=5243679]valsor[/MENTION]ium - I used your method and it worked!! The only issue is, I received this device as a gift and wasn't really sure what version of the N7 is was. I ended up googling the boatloader version, flo-3.15, and found the correct files via that route which is the 2013 version. I was thinking it was the 2012v. I have never dipped my toes into these waters but its been fun learning. So now I can say I;ve used SDK lol.

If anyone has this issue in the future, I used blog.laptopmag.com-how-to-hard-reset-a-bricked-nexus-7-with-your-pc as a step by step process. Just be sure to change the file names listed within the tutorial to the appropriate file names downloaded.

I looked for this information for H03:M22:S36,8457,;) such a loooooong time,

thank you KitDev! You answerred it all! ♥❤♥<-----Some nice Unciode Hearts by ME!:D;)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] zedorda:
You can set SuperSU to always deny root requests and if needed go back into SuperSU and reset the denial in case you need to accept. That way your mum won't have problems and you can fix things later without her losing use of the device.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jurrasstoil:
Hey,

I've rooted it using the NRT by now, but SuperSU won't recognize the settings for some reason.

I've set it to not show the permission prompt and set the default action to Deny, but if an app wants root it still displays the permission prompt.

Screenshots:

List of the currently allowed apps

Settings of SuperSU (Standard-Zugriff = Default action, set to Verweigern = Deny; Benachrichtigungen anzeigen = Show prompts, no check.)

Still a prompt
[Nexus 7 Android Development] zedorda:
Only other suggestion I have is to get the N7 fully setup for her then in recovery back it up then fully unroot it. You can later restore the backup to get back root if its even needed.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] canadianrider:

[Nexus 7 Android Development] Merlin2000:
I have to ship one of my rooted phones back to Motorola and I want to remove all roots/hacks.

Do I do the Flash Stock + Unroot, and then "OEM Lock" to get it back to absolute factory condition? What about CWM? Can that be removed? I have no idea how it was installed.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] TahrirSquare:
Once you do the process you just said CWM will be gone
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jt.one:
great toolkit, much thanks wug! :good::good:

quick question,

after unlocking/rooting, about few hours later google play market notified me to update SUPERSU? should i update it from market?

in other device devs, updating superuser or supersu from the market often caused problems and such so i was wondering if the same applies for the nex7.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Merlin2000:
- I'm asking if it will be gone, or if there is something else I may need to do... I just want to make sure whenever Verizon plugs it in, it shows up with no modifications. Even after I flashed back to stock, the phone still had issues, I don't want them to try and blame it on the fact it was rooted.

I rooted the new phone that came in and it worked just fine, so clearly the root wasn't the problem.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Salty Wagyu:
I got that notification too, updated and did not see any problems. I tested by forgetting permissions on one of the apps that asks for root, opened said app and granted permissions - worked fine.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] torontobc:
I don't need to put new mods or themes. Should I still select "Do not flash CWM"?

I know that Google pushed two updates since last week. Should I be worried that Google updates brick the device if I don't want to flash CWM?

Thanks
[Nexus 7 Android Development] cammykool:
^it did that to me multiple times

had to manually flash the update in cwm if you do brick use the restore to stock/unroot option under cant boot up
[Nexus 7 Android Development] torontobc:
Sorry, I am not getting. Are you saying that updates broke the rooting? and should I simply permanently flash CWM?

If I do that, can I still go back to un-root method again if need be?

Thanks
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Updates usually break root unless you use an app to try and keep it from happening. You can always re-root after an update. Flashing cwm or not is just a choice, depends if you plan on using it or not; either way, you are rooted. You can always flash stock, regardless if you have flashed cwm. I strongly advise to try just pressing the buttons first... All utilities in the toolkit start with an explanatory message box. The questions you just asked are already preemptively answered in the toolkit. Just select an option and press a button. The rest is explained.

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
I really don't understand your question. Google updates don't brick your device .. They upgrade it. You need the stock recovery to accept an OTA. If you have CWM flashed, the update won't flash. In that case you can restore the stock recovery first using the button in advanced utilities.

Again, flashing CWM is you choice.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] player911:
ZOMG! I've been at this for hours on 2 PC's. I can't get any stupid drivers to work. I'm literally about to chew through my desk. I have a netbook with Windows 7 32-bit and a Windows 8 64-bit desktop.

Neither one will install the stupid drivers. I've found a Windows 8 link talking about disabling driver integrity or something but Windows 8 is god aweful OS and BSOD every reset.

The 32-bit Windows 7 install should be a cake walk. But no driver I install, either via Auto or manual or the Driver(x32).exe crap either. Just fails saying the driver isn't compatible. I have Debugging on and I see the device in Device Manager, but just no driver I have found is working. WTH!

My PC, I had my Galaxy Nexus, so I used that USBDeview (I've used many times before) to uninstall any of the old conflicting drivers... but Win8 sucks and still won't work. The Win7 netbook isn't even mine... it's my GF's and I know there aren't any crazy stupid drivers on there.

Can someone simply post the damn drivers outside of stupid exe's and flashers? Win7 x32. Should be plain and simple.

Trying a 3rd PC now....... it's Win8 but behaving itself... disabled the driver check.... holy crap. Third time is the charm.

Sorry to all the women and children, and sissy men, who I have offended during my rampage of trying to unlock a Nexus with a bunk OS.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] danny8:
It's all been said before but I wrote it up anyway to help me understand my Nexus 7. Step six is the Reader's Digest version.

I've never done an OTA upgrade, so I could have made mistakes. Holler at me and I'll correct this if I see a complaint.

OS Upgrade Notifications

When you're running one of the Google Android versions, such as what was shipped with your phone or an upgraded Google Android version delivered OTA, you may receive a future notification about performing an OTA version upgrade. This will be the same notification received by everyone.

Doing an OS Upgrade / CWM Implications

(1) If you never changed your phone (it is not rooted) go ahead and do the upgrade. Skip to the end.​

(2) If you simply rooted your phone but left your stock recovery system alone, skip to step (4) below.​

(3) When you've substituted an alternate recovery system such as CWM for the "stock" recovery system:

(a) Should you desire to skip upgrading your OS, skip to the end.​

(b) You'll need to return the "factory" or "stock" recovery image to your phone or tablet before you can perform the update. Use Nexus Root Toolkit to replace your current recovery image with the stock image. Continue with the next step.​

Doing an OS Upgrade / Rooted User Implications

(4) When you reach this step you have returned the stock recovery image to your device (or never messed with it). Also, you only reach this step when you have a rooted device. Replacing your device's OS will "break root", that is make it so your phone or tablet is no longer rooted. Skip to the end if you don't want to upgrade your device. You will not upgrade, you will not break root.​

(5) Use a software tool like OTA Rootkeeper to preserve the files needed for rooting.​

Doing an OS Upgrade

(6) Prerequisites: One, your device has its stock or factory recovery system in place. Two, you're prepared to cope with effects of breaking root.

Follow the instructions for upgrading your device OTA (over the air) just like a normal non-hacker person does it.​

Housekeeping after the OS Upgrade

Unlike a normal non-hacker person, you probably want to return your phone to its former glory:

(7) Do the necessary steps to return ROOT USER access.​

(8) Replace the stock recovery image with the system of your choosing. The discerning hacker chooses CWM. :p​

"If it ain't broken, it's a good time to look under the hood."

(A)[QUESTION](About)Remaining Data

1.Your WugFrésh > SkipSoft

2.When you do the BEST POSSIBLE BACKUP with an Unrooted and Bootloader.-Locked Nexus 7 2012 Only Wifi 32GB Android $hîtcràp 4.4.2 KOT49H (Because Blue (and Gréén )is Cuter than Grey and Jélly bean is better than KitKat)

WHICH DATA (or Unused Sectoins, Lost files of/in the File System, ?(*)[.* and everything esle) is ACTUALLY excluded from the best possible Backup (that is ) available for Basic Users (i'm Professional but i mean the UnRooted Locked users), what is NOT INCLUDED in the Backup, that gets lost, when you unlocck the Bootloader????T?

I mean that:

Is there something that satisfies all of thoes both two condition terms?

CONDITIONS:

1.Excluded from best possible (most inclûsive) Backup for Non-Rooted or Unlocked users

2.Gets Wiped while Locking/Unlocking the Bootloader

I hope not.....

But...

Thanks, if you're able to answer.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Sounds like a question better directed for Chainfire. The developer of SuperSU.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Its a bit difficult to understand your question, but I will try my best.

To get the most complete & best backup possible with a locked device, you should do the following:

1. Backup > 'Backup All Apps' > 'Create Android Backup File' (leave both include options unchecked)

2. Backup SMS (if you want)

3. Without the toolkit, backup everything you want to keep thats on your devices sdcard, like any pictures, videos, music, or any game folders. If you aren't sure, just backup everything from your sdcard. To do this, just use your computer to copy paste items from your device.

4. Unlock your device

5. You will have to setup your home screen again and go through initial setup, meaning logging in to your accounts (gmail, etc).

6. Let Google auto restore your apps. Then use the toolkit to restore your android backup file. Restore SMS. Then copy paste the sdcard stuff over.

That's it. You will have everything back. The only thing you will lose is system settings, like your home screen, etc. But you can just set it up again.

I am assuming you asked your parents for permission. I also assume no liability for what you do with you device. Just answering your question.

Sidenote: you don't need to use CAPS, bold, and underline so much. Its something you will eventually learn... But they are for emphasis, and are meant to be used sparingly. They lose meaning and usefulness when you bold and underline an entire paragraph. And try to avoid CAPS all together, it is the equivalent of screaming at someone.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Hannah Stern:
I see.... sorry, but i tried to phrase my question as easy as it's been possible for me...

It is the same question.

·

Now i try to write as easily as possible, hope you understand my question this time:

Is there something that is not possible to backup

anyway

with a locked and unrrooted device that even gets wiped, when the bootloader('s) status changes between locker or/and unlocked?

I just want to avoid data loss in

any

case! Read some of my other posts to see, what did go on with my 10,68 GB of data loss, i (and my heart too), we hate data loss!

·

However, you('ve) got the best Nexus Toolkit ever, with your toolkit in combination to the factory images [https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?hl=de#nakasijzo54k] and other factory images like „TouchWiz for Nexus" and Windows XP, 95, 98, etc. a nexus device is a BIG FUN!

Too bad: Google Exclûded the Factory images of Android 4.2.1, 4.2(.0) and 4.4.1 for all nexus devices on their download pages, i'd like to try 4.4.1.

And the Galaxy S2 Android 2.3.6 on Nexus 7, that will be a LOT of fun,

your easy-to-use toolkit makes it so easy to have fun with a nexus device!

Like VirtualPC and VirtualBOX, experimenting with 95 and 98 and XP by deleting System files and loading virusses on the Virtual Machines etc. ! Soooo much fun!

Thank you for developing such a good program, thank you!
