In toolkit options menu, under flash stock settings > enable 'force flash mode', then use the "Flash Stock + Unroot" button and select android 5.0.0 preview build in the pulldown.

WOW...................not only a very quick response but from the dev himself :):)

Tons of thanks !!!!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] crisout:
just thanks...

Thanks man, this is soooo easy, thanks! :D
[Nexus 7 Android Development] lennydude:
FYI.............................My N7 (2013) is now running 5.0.0 Android L version. It seems very stable. A few apps are not playing well but other than that it is pretty neat indeed :)

Thanks for the support and help !
[Nexus 7 Android Development] FormeriPhoney:
I'm following DroidModderX YouTube on flashing my 2013 N7 to lollipop using the latest toolkit.

I am running DJ's Aosp 4.4.4 build currently.

When I go to flash the 5.0 lollipop update in the drop down menu this is the message I get every time.

I will add that when u try to use the "auto detect" after selecting my device it comes up blank so I chose "any android" bc my specific rom isn't listed.

What am I doing wrong here?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
This is my fault. I am pushing am update shortly
[Nexus 7 Android Development] FormeriPhoney:
Ah OK chief. Thought it was odd Bc I have used your toolkits of tons of my devices and never had a single issue before. Thanks!

Ability to flash Android Lollipop?

Hey [MENTION=3110798]WugFresh[/MENTION], mind if i ask? :D

well now that the cat's out of the bag, on your next update of the toolkit, to fix that issue (that post you replied to telling the guy that it's your fault and you will push update to fix it), will you be including the ability to flash android L? :D i dunno if you know but Nexus 7 2012 and nexus 4 will not retire this year and are gonna get the Lollipop flavored Android..and, with that being said, rumor has it (i dunno if this is confirmed by google) that our update will be this November 3 (maybe November 4 here in the Philippines (Southeast Asia) ). and also, we do not know how the update woould come to us, whether by OTA or factory image (i am betting big that it will be factory images and OTA would arrive later as i have experienced with Kitkat 4.4.3 and 4.4.4 a few months back).. and since i have expriened using your toolkit to flash factory images/unroot, i really do hope i can use the next version of your awesome toolkit to have my devices updated to L.:D:fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 7 Android Development] starfighter1948:


Hi WugFresh is there anything I can do to help you identify the problem?

[Nexus 7 Android Development] FormeriPhoney:
The current toolkit gives you the ability to flash lollipop. There is just a little bug when flashing it, that's what he was referring to
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Anders1:
I noticed SuperSU 2.14 was added to the toolkit and that it is possible to run the 'Root' routine, however it does not seem to root the device. After flashing SuperSU & busybox it still says that 'There is No SU binary installed'.

Any ideas?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
v1.9.1 is up now. All should be well.

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Anders1:
Yep, you nailed it once again :)

Many thanks!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] lennydude:
Just curious..........

I have the Android L 5.0.0 running on my Nexus 7 (2013). Thanks to you!

I can not seem to root the device. Can it be rooted and if so can you provide a blow by blow?

[Nexus 7 Android Development] FormeriPhoney:
OK. Update worked great wug. Thanks for for the quick fix. Running ? in less than 5 min.

I'm actually not with my tablet now but did flashing it through the toolkit flash a prerooted 5.0?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] starfighter1948:
After updating to Toolkit v1.9.1 flashing back to stock worked fine. Thanks a lot Wug - much appreciated.

starfighter1948
[Nexus 7 Android Development] FormeriPhoney:
Just a quick question. I flashed a stock build then went to 5.0 with zero issues. I'm under the assumption this wiped your device as stated in the directions but for some reason I'm missing a ton of storage. Should have any 24gb of free space after a clean flash. I don't have Google+ photos synced or anything.

Anyone else see that?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Nabraham:
Hey Wug,

Just wanted to say thanks for the awesome software. I do have a quick question for you.

My wife's 2012 nexus 7 just recently went into a bootloop out of nowhere. Stock software and not rooted. I downloaded your lovely program and am running the "Back to stock - Soft bricked..." option. The prompt has been sitting at "Writing 'recovery'.... "

for about an hour now. How long should something like this take?

Thanks!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Perform a factory reset. The toolkit mentions this in a message box after flashing stock that probably just gets disregarded. I will add it to the FAQs instead.

Basically, it is a known issue that after flashing stock, the internal storage can display incorrectly. The fix is a factory reset: https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/4596836?hl=en

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Shouldn't take that long. Its stalled. Force close fastboot.exe, the toolkit, and use NRT again to flash stock + unroot with "softbrick/bootloop mode" - then follow the instructions.

The device needs to be unlocked first. Try an alternate USB port or cable this time.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Flashing stock with NRT always flashes official Google images.

When rooting lollipop with NRT, it will take care of the extra step of flashing a special root enabled kernel before flashing SuperSU.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Nabraham:
Thank you, sir. The device is unlocked...ill try the methods you listed when i get home. And toss you some cash. This program is impressive.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] FormeriPhoney:
Root and recovery went beyond quick. Great work.

Can you good recommend an easy way to reboot into recovery? I used to use Quickboot but it doesn't work on lollipop.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Nice. Thanks for the info. Didn't realize quickboot didn't work on lollipop yet. I will see if I can contact that Dev. Its gonna take a moment before we can get all our favorite root apps working properly. I am looking into, and checking out different solutions.

You can use NRT quick tools in advanced utilities to boot into recovery.. But I am guessing you want something on the device.

I will report back when I know/have-more-info.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ichigo_kurosaki:
I tthink not. Preview image of L is just like an officially released factory umage. Completely stock.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] FormeriPhoney:
Eh.. It's fine for now. I just did power + down volume then jumped into twrp from there.

Just wanted to make a clean nandroid. No biggie.

I downloaded the 4.4.4 tar file from this software for my device. I've selected the right device. But i get Hashcheck error everytime. I even manually downloaded the file. Same error. Any ideas?

Also, since the search isnt working, I have to ask. How do I flash the OTA zips using this tool? I plan to go to KOT49H from JWR66Y and I have the file. How do I flash?

Any help would be really appreciated.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Which file specifically. You downloaded it from Google?

For your second question: advanced utilities> sideload ota zip.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] incognitonk:
Thank you for that tip.

And yes, I did download it from google, from the link within the tool itself.

Titanium Backup thinks my device is not rooted

I used V1.9.1 to move my 2013 Nexus 7 (wifi) to 5.0.0 LPX13D - root checker thinks it is rooted and I have tried a few of the other apps that require root and they work fine, but Titanuim Backup complains that the device is not rooted - it says:

"Sorry, I could not acquire root privledges. This application will *not* work! Please verify that your ROM is rooted, and try again.

This attempt was made using the "/system/xbin/su" command."

"/system/xbin/su" is present...

My process was flashing back a version (because the AOSB version, KTU84Q, was not listed) then I unlocked the bootloader and flashed 5.0.0 then I rooted 5.0.0...

Suggestions?

Thanks,

Tom

Hi. I just wanted to mention this - I've been having issues actually getting my Nexus 7 recognized by the app for a long time now. Tried out the different drivers with no luck. Last night I decided to back up my Nexus 7 with Helium and that had some drivers I could use for my Nexus - I was able to get Helium to recognize my tablet and just now checked the toolkit - working there now too. Probably should use those drivers as well?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:

[Nexus 7 Android Development] DJeneral2:
Apologies in advance if this isn't the best thread to post this inquiry to, but I'm having issues with file management (via either Root Explorer or ES File Explorer) after doing a full cleanse, unlock, and rooting of my Nexus 7 (2012).

While it certainly appears I have root and don't have issues most of the time, whenever I try to copy/move an APK from /sdcard/Downloads (or any of the emulated SD card proxies) to /system/app I get a failure. I get this same failure when attempting to move files from TWRP Recovery (via Advanced > File Manager).

From what I've been able to gather on the forums thus far is that KitKat 4.4.x made some changes to how SD cards can be used. And although the Nexus 7 doesn't have an external SD card it appears it has emulated the internal storage that way (presumably for the multiple user options).

Any thoughts on how to fix this? I want to be able to download APKs, framework .jars, etc. and be able to move them about the storage.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] DJeneral2:
Hey Wug. I was able to figure out a solution to my issue (I think) by copying "su" from system/xbin to system/bin. This has at least enabled me to copy items to /system and /system/app without issue thus far. However I still cannot copy anything to system/priv-app for some odd reason.

When we root our Nexus 7 devices shouldn't su be in both bin/xbin?

lollipop preview

I thought I might try the 5.0 preview, but it's not there for me as an option pull down on flash stock and unroot. Has it been removed or was it never there?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Google only released it for the Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 (2013) WIFI Edition. Maybe you selected/have a different device.

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 7 Android Development] dimbo33:
Okay that explains it then. I have a 2012 wifi grouper.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] FormeriPhoney:
Yea. That device didn't get the dev preview of L. Only the 2013 N7, for now. I'd be surprised to see the 2012 get an official build.

But the n7 2012 WILL get official lollipop. Google said so. Even the n4. Ota rollout starts november 3.:D

What's the best way to update the bootloader. I tried using fastboot from the computer,and from the app but always comes invalid state.

Thx for the help.

root troubles!

Hey, im using version 1.9.3 of this rad toolkit and i appear to be stuck on "waiting for your devce" during the root/recovery process. The phone is in bootloader with the start button and fallen down android. My bootloader is definetly unlocked. Does anyone know what might be happening?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Try again, make sure you have selected the correct device.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Did you get this resolved? I think I remember something like that causing an issue for me on my N7 once. You can use advanced utilities flash bootloader button, to flash a newer/working booloader directly.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Hulkanator:
Yes I did get it to work,I had to download version KRT16S and pull the hboot img from that and flash it in fast boot.then have your tool kit flash KRT16S back to stock and take ota to update to latest version.I would include this in your instructions in original post. This would have saved a lot time. Thank you for your work.

I wonder if pulling the hboot from an older version that works and installing it in the newest version would work, I didn't know if there was a signature problem so I did it the way I had it above
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Glad you got it resolved. This is a rare circumstance where google released a bad file. When you get a chance could you please detail what your problem was more clearly and the exact steps you took to fix it. I am not quite following you or understanding why you did all that.. Nor does it seem necessary. Seems like all that mattered was flashing the correct IMG file and avoiding the bad one.

Wug's toolkint with Nexus 9?

What about having an HTC Nexus 9? I literally just had my "box opening" and the VERY first thing I did was coming here to see if there was any news regarding your toolkit being Nexus 9 friendly.. I-CAN'T-WAIT!!!!!! (I'm not rushing, it's pure curiosity when I ask you if you have any estimate on when this will happen?) You rule by the way! :good:
[Nexus 7 Android Development] salutcemoi:
I have a Grouper, rooted with the toolkit.

Stock 4.4.4, unlocked.

Every root app says my recovery is TWRP, but when I reboot into recovery I get a "dead Android" logo and it says "no command".

Then when I press and hold volume down+power it takes me to what seems the stock recovery.

So I'm confused. Did the toolkit install a temporary TWRP?

Also can I flash CWM straight from the ROM Manager app ?

Thanks admin.

I will post my question in the right thread
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jocke_lulle:
I have a question. Every time I try to flash a stock firmware I have to use force flash because I get an error massage about my bootloader. It says that my bootloader is 3.41.3 and that the required bootloader is 4.23. Why is my bootloader not the required one? Should I try to change it to 4.23 and how do I do it?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Google released one bad bootloader for N7, I forget off the top of my head if that is the one. Probably is. You can flash the newest bootloader directly by using advanced utilities Flash 'Bootloader' button.

Unzip the factory package to get just bootloader:

Google Code - Factory Image Packages

Try flashing an older bootloader first, then the newest one (latest factory pack), that should fix it.

Cheers.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
You have to explicitly check the box under the root button to install TWRP, or use advanced utilities flash Recovery button.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] raddison:
I just want to add my thanks for your great toolkit. I used it to root my N7 2012 when I couldn't get adb to see it (probably bad drivers but I couldn't make it work with many retries). Since then I've used it to update TWRP a couple times, and make backups when I switched/upgraded custom ROMs.

Thanks for making it so easy!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jocke_lulle:
Hi

Thanks for your answer. I managed to flash bootloader 4.18 but everytime I try to flash 4.23 I got an error message "signature mismatch". Do you have any suggestion? Because of the bootloader isn´t 4.23 I have to use "force flash" everytime I want to flash a google image.

Just fastboot flash that (or use NRT Advanced utilities > Flash (permanent) to 'Boot' button)

Then use NRT 'Root' button. (set your device to "any build" mode")

bro, with all due respect..i tried flashing the factory image via your toolkit (device is on stock 4.4.4,) but when the checking for md5 something, it says that md5 mismatch and the operation is cancelled even though the md5 i fed it was the one i got from the file with the link. md5 was E68948C23C918436680BD28FC6AAF983 (letters capitalized by the md5sum checker program that i have downloaded ages ago. if i let that app check for integrity, md5 is match. but on the NRT, it says mismatch.:(
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Just tried it, both lowercase and caps. And get a match. Tried it 3 times on multiple computers, plus other users have confirmed success. Maybe reinstall the toolkit, or make sure you paste in the hash correctly.

EDIT 2: I i restarted my laptop, re-installed toolkit. i still get the same error. looks like the toolkit doesn't allow imported files. screenshots on attachment.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
I figured out why its messing up for you.

Change the extension of the file from .tar to google's proper default extension '.tgz'

I thought I fixed this already long ago, but apparently not. The toolkit is suppose to recognize the non default .tar extension and rename it automagically in the background, but for some reason it didn't. That is why its working for others and not you.

Will fix in the next release.

i can get them to show up if i select PTP and not MTP, but thats not what i want as i cant load video where i want to.
