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

Yes, that's exactly the problem.

If usb debugging is off, the pc recognize the n7 but it doesn't show it under "my pc", so I cannot access anything on it, not the sdcard not nothing.

If I turn usb debugging on, the nexus 7 is shown under "my pc" and I can access the sdcard.

So... How can I make a clean installation of the toolkit again?

When I installed it the first time I didn't have any problem at all with the drivers, I followed every single step of the toolkit guide and I was able to unlock and root my n7...so what could went wrong?

I have also installed on my pc the drivers for my s3 (kies and samsung drivers) so I can flash it using Odin.. could that mess the things up a little bit?

Thanks for the help!

EDIT:

@Wug

Ok, I uninstalled every single driver using the full driver installation guide of the toolkit from step one to the latest and reinstall them again and also made the full driver test and everything went fine, but the problem persist. If I turn off usb debugging on the nexus 7 my pc recognizes it as an mtp device but under "my pc" the nexus isn't there, but if I turn usb debugging on, it is automatically detected but the folders on the sdcard aren't the right size if I click on properties .. I don't know what's wrong but it's driving me crazy! Now I'm afraid that if I ever want to restore my nexus 7 to the stock state something goes wrong and I cannot do it.

Wug please, I need your help!

Hello guys

Just rooted my nexus 7 8GB last night with this awesome tool.

One question though.

I rooted it without flashing a custom recovery.

If in future i want to have a custom recovery (for flashing a custom rom) do i have to root again but this time check the box for custom recovery?

Or is there a different procedure?

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

Ok, I finally fixed the problem myself about the nexus not being recognized by the PC with usb debugging mode on.

I uninstalled every single driver from Google and android on my PC, rebooted, then connected the nexus with usb debugging OFF so the PC automatically installed the drivers for it. Then I opened wug's toolkit and installed the drivers solution #3 but without uninstalling every driver before like the toolkit suggests, and finally after doing so, my nexus is recognized with usb debugging mode ON, and also OFF and still the adb and fastboot commands works according to the toolkit drivers test. So now everything seems to be fine!

Just sharing this here in case someone has the same problem I had.

Cheers!

Corrupted App Backup??

For various reasons I had to return to stock so I decided to give your tool a try, so I did the following :-

o set a Desktop Backup Password

o Backed up my apps including shared data

o Backed up my apps excluding shared data

o Backed up data/media

o Flashed Stock + Unroot

The unrooting and flashing stock has worked wonderfully and I now have a stock Nexus 7 (Grouper)

However when I try and restore my apps it doesn't work

In the stock image I have set the same password as in my rooted imaged but the restore doesn't go anywhere, in the logcat I have :-

W/BackupManagerService( 481): Archive is encrypted but no password given

W/BackupManagerService( 481): Invalid restore data; aborting.

I/BackupManagerService( 481): Full restore processing complete.

D/BackupManagerService( 481): Full restore pass complete.

Any help, anyone, please? I'm sure I didn't encrypt either of my backups with a password either!!

I guess I could restore my TWRP backup of my rooted image and try the backup again, will that work??

I have restored the same base as my rooted ROM
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Konstigt:
Hello!

Did a Android Backup File including system apps + data + Shared data.

Wasn't really clear if this includes the "sd-card" or not?

Does it backup SMS, call logs, contacts, APN?

When doing a Virtual SDcard backup it says I needed to be unlocked, I though you meant the phone should be unlocked (the PIN). I suspected that you might mean unlocked bootloader and I guess that was it because it failed.

My phone went to recovery and the program was just waiting..

Started the phone and the process completed without any error. But no files were copied.

So, If I want to go from completely stock to rooted + unlocked bootloader but I don't want to loose ANYTHING on my phone, can I do that using Backup Utilities?

Edit: One more thing.. if you do Unlock from this tool. It suggest that you backup first, including data/media. But, to do a backup of data/media, the text says later that "On Android 4.2.1 your device must be unlocked". Catch 22..

Someone please help me!

guys im sort of new to this. i rooted my nexus 7 a couple of minutes ago using this toolkit which is great btw, had the twrp recovery working it was all fine until i tried to flash cwm recovery. all i did was flash, im guessing that was the wrong way to do it. i rebooted into recovery and twrp is now asking me for a password to decrypt my storage, never did i set a password or encrypt my data so i was completely stuck. i kept wiping the phone so that the encryption will go away after about a couple of times it did. but now i cannot mount to my computer at all. it will not mount through the recovery and adb cant find it. there is no rom to boot into since i erased everything. i am stuck in the recovery and cannot do anything someone please please help me. i dont know what i can do. please
[Nexus 7 Android Development] MajorMonodon:
Reboot into fastboot, do this by shutting the tablet down completely, then holding the volume down, and powering it op, releasing the power button when you get in the bootloader menu, it may take some tries, but that's mainly how you have to do it.

Once you re in fastboot, use the toolkit's advanced mode to flash over a clean twrp, get it here: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/103

Make sure you tell the toolkit you are in fastboot mode, so it doesn't think you have adb enabled and throws errors. If you're not sure you're in fastboot, it's a black screen with some info, an android logo an an arrow with text, you can change it with the volume keys and with the power key boot your selection, but for flashing, just keep the screen open, don't boot into anything.

When you flashed a clean recovery, use the fastboot menu to get into recovery and flash over a clean rom.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] papisky226:
Please help me

thank you i am in fastboot mode and the toolkit is able to reboot it into bootlader and reboot but i do have fastboot checked in the toolkit but everytime i try to flash the recovery image or anything for that matter it checks for adb and cannot find the device how do i get the device to flash anything ? it keeps looking for adb and cannot connect.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] MajorMonodon:
Ok, try this, might be a dirty fix, but it should work: click "launch CMD prompt"

You will get a cmd window, notice the folder it points to, move the recovery image there. I suspect you have a nexus 7 wifi, so it's called openrecovery-twrp-2.3.3.0-grouper.img, but if you have a 3g, it should end in tilapia.

If you put the .img file in the data folder of the toolkit, type into the cmd window:

fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.3.3.0-grouper.img

or whatever the name of your .img file is.

It should be able to flash it over correctly.

If there is an error, make sure your device is recognized, by checking with:

fastboot devices

It should give you a list of connected devices in fastboot mode.

Edit: This shouldn't be the case, but make sure there aren't any other devices in fastboot mode connected to your computer. Just saying.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] papisky226:
Someone please help ...

I tried that about 10 times and i keep getting the same prompt cannot load openrecovery-twrp-2.3.3.0-grouper.img -__- i do not know what to do. nothing seems to be working for me at the moment. i tried to flash it many times through fastboot but it would not work.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] MajorMonodon:
Well, does the .img file exist? Did you type the name correctly and are you using the righ file?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ThurstonX:
I had a similar problem recently when I wiped everything and had no ROM to boot into, and drivers weren't being recognized. Ultimately I deleted all drivers and devices Google & Asus related. After reinstalling the drivers I went back to completely stock via the toolkit, and eventually restored a TWRP backup. It was a total PITA, and while I thought I'd bricked it, I was worrying unnecessarily.

Just something to consider, if you can't get into TWRP Recovery temporarily to restore the backup. You can name the img file anything, if I'm not mistaken, so make it something really simple that you can't typo.

Good luck!

im on the phone with my bro and im trying to help him root where is usb debugging.. he cant find it.. he cant find usb debugging anywhere yes he a noob..
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Mr-Glass:
Go to settings.. then phone details.. tap on build number 7 times... Then you will have developer options on the settings menu.. usb debugging is in there...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] P.Mobile:
thanks so much for getting back bro! one more question.. when it asks u to pick your device then it asks to pick what build does he need to pick android 4.2.1 JOP40D?? is that the rite one?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Mr-Glass:
Yes, if he has the N7 (Wifi) running the latest Jelly Bean - It should tell him on About Tablet
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ThurstonX:
In 4.2.x it's hidden. Go into Settings, About tablet, then tap repeatedly on "Build number." After a few taps there will be a countdown until Developer Options are unlocked. Then go back up a level, and "{ } Developer options" should be visible. Turn ON Developer options at the top, then check USB debugging.

Hi everyone.

Today I used this toolkit to unlock/root/flash custom recovery in my N7 3G updated to the last version 4.1.2

I made an .ab backup to my hard disk (+9GB) with all apps and started the unlocking process.

Everything worked fine, but now the restore gets stuck at "sts.al", and I've waited more than 4 hours... no reads from disk in my computer for nexusrootkit.exe, any of the adb.exe ... I guess it was completely stuck.

I tried to restore the backup again and got stuck at the same place...

Any idea ?

Cheers!

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

If you only have the one backup and it keeps getting stuck, you can grab the app "Titanium Backup" and use it to extract the contents of your android backup file so you can selectivity restore its contents. I tried creating a similar extraction mechanism but haven't been entirely successful yet.

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

Hey everyone, I am back at school now and I am ahead of my work so far so hopefully I should have enough time to finish the next update (v1.6.3) as soon as possible. My apologies for the delays I just have been super busy.

I have decided to populate all the hash values for every toolkit file to the masterlist so they will be stored locally and read in; therefore the toolkit will no longer have to fetch those values via goo.im's json api which caused complications for some end users.

Other changes and feature additions are being made to improve performance as well. Stay tuned, and thanks again for your patience.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Happy that you didn't lose anything important. The ADB backup usually works however its still not the best backup solution. Hopefully google will enhance this feature in future android releases. The best backup solutions that exist are still only available for root users, like nandroids and TiBackup - however those backup solution don't help users who haven't unlocked and rooted yet and need to preserve data. An android backup file with no options checked and a data/media backup is whats recommended with this toolkit. I am going to include that info more clearly in the next release. I am guessing you included shared or system data? Thats a pretty big backup file.

I personally exercise a combination of root backup solutions and cloud storage. If you can back all your stuff up and sync it with a free storage account or ftp, that's really the best situation; then everything is accessible as long as you can access an internet connection, regardless of what happens to your device or local storage.

Cheers.

Sounds like an incomplete download. Try downloading it again over a stable connection and use a good browser like chrome/firefox, and/or use a download manager. Hashcheck your downloaded installer to make sure its complete.

Hello

During the initial process with your utility, it did not give me the option to select what my device is running ( 4.2.1 JOP40D ) It WAS NOT there like it is in your image in the first post of this thread. The option 4.2.0 was there but not 4.2.1. Using the latest release of your utility. Should i just use the 4.2.0. option?

Thank You
[Nexus 7 Android Development] murph5525:
Tried the utility again and 4.2.1 was available now so maybe your utility should update immediately upon first run and then close and re-open so that all updated options are there.

Now my next problem: Has anyone successfully used this utility on WinXP Pro SP3??? I can't stop windows from automatically installing drivers every time i plug in my Nexus. If i uninstall the drivers, my nexus is no longer showing in the device manager to allow me to update the drivers as per the utility driver installation instructions.

- I can't use option #2 of the driver guide as it recommends not to use on WinXP.

- Trying option #3, when i attempt to update Nexus drivers ( the ones that WinXP installs without my consent :( ), XP Pro DOES NOT give the option to "include sub folders" when trying to set the path to the updated drivers. Therefore, this does not work for me either :rolleyes:

Any help would be appreciated!

Hey Wugfresh

Hi I have used your tool to successfully finally root my Nexus 7 and I am now trying to install CM10. I have managed to push the zip to the device ( I think) but I cannot find it in the file structure at all. Can you tell me where it goes as when I am in TWRP I select "Use internal storage" but then no sign of the zip to flash . I cannot browse the device to find the zip as I seem to be in a boot loop with the glowing cross if I try to boot normally. If I boot into CWM I only have the choice of Sideload or SD card, I have no idea what sideload is and the device does not have an SD card. Thanks in advance.:laugh:

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

I just want to make sure I'm understanding this correctly- I need to uninstall any and ALL drivers pertaining to abd, android, Samsung, etc before installing the N7 drivers? If so, will I then need to reinstall said drivers before I can go back to using adb with my phone (Samsung epic touch 4g)?? Thanks!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] MajorMonodon:
I think these are universal drivers, so you can use them with your phone too, but it is recommended to install them from scratch so you have the newest ones. Normally the adb drivers should recognize your phone too.
