very interesting case

hey guys,

i've got a weird but also very interesting problem.

i was on slimkat and wanted to move to purity rom. flashed the rom and gapps over cwm and was on a bootloop. android booted up until i had to unlock the screen but then it restarted. nothing too troubling i thought and wanted to reflash over cwm. but there wasn't any cwm anymore. i couldn't access it. but i am able to access fastboot mode.

well, then i tried this root toolkit and pressed flash stock + unroot. it was very quick and i assumed already that something went wrong. and indeed, now when i want to boot up, nothing happens. there is the google logo for a few sec and at the same time there is the green start button (like in the fastboot mode). i can switch between start, restart bootloader, recovery mode and power off. again, like in the fastboot mode. when i hit start nothing happens except that the green start button disappears for half a sec. when i press recovery mode it says booting failed.

i discovered that adb devices doesn't give me the serial number of my n7 (but does give me the serial number of my nexus 5 once it is plugged in). but adb fastboot does give me the correct serial number of my n7.

nevertheless, when i press flash stock + unroot (soft-bricked/bootloop) the first thing which failes is writing bootloader. is gives me an ok that it is sent though (i attached a screenshot).

any help will be highly appreciated since i'm kinda desperate...

thanks!!

Looks like you need to update your bootloader to 4.23.

Same thing happened to me,once I updated the bootloader it worked great.

Unlock Image on boot screen

Thanks. with the help of this tool i rooted by N7 2012.

Q- Can i lock the bootloader back after flashing the recovery. Or is there a way to remove the unlock icon on booting.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] c0080900v:
I'll re-ask again since I didn't get any answers to my original post a few days back.

Android version: 4.4.2

Build: KOT49H

Nexus 7 2012 Wi-Fi (Non-data/Non-3G version)

Wug's Toolkit: 1.8.0

So I flashed all three of these files on the my ReadytoFlash! folder, excluding SuperSU 1.51 in which I didn't flash.

All my root check tests with apps like ES, SuperSU,and so on are failing.

Is there anything I did wrong here?

I haven't rooted my N7 2012 since 4.2.1/4.2.2

Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Make sure that you flash them in the order that the toolkit tells you to, more specifically - flash supersu after the perm recovery zip, not before, or if you correctly select your device and build in the toolkit, the flashing process will be fully automated.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] Berrydroidcafe:
Here's the latest SuperSU:

Right. I have been really busy this past week. I will update the masterlists with that new one tonight. Cheers.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] c0080900v:
It was actually a matter of flashing the correct SuperSU, but thank you for your help.

Thanks, flashing the correct SuperSU did the trick for me.

All rooted now.

Thank you for your help.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] havensed:
What is meant by "allow test drivers in windows options"??
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Glad you are rooted, and yes reflashing any supersu would surely fix your problem - because you are effectively flashing it after the perm recovery zip was flashed. The same would have worked for reflashing an earlier SuperSU version zip.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] legend221:
This did the trick, so glad there was a quick and easy to old to get my Nexus 7 optimized. Thank you soo much to all that made WugFresh possible.

I just got a nexus 7 2012 and I'm trying to unlock and root. I finally got past the took kit screen saying no adb device connected and now it's stuck on a screen that says no fast boot device connected. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong or how to fix it. Thanks for any help
[Nexus 7 Android Development] lambofgod13:
I had the same issue make sure you delete every thing that has to do with drivers, then keep trying to reinstal the drivers, it took me about an hour before my windows 8.1 would finally acknowledge drivers, i had to keep uninstalling and reinstalling, plus if your on windows 8 there's a tutorial in op on his to manually change "to allow unsigned drivers on windows 8".
[Nexus 7 Android Development] reaper420:
Thanks for replying, I just got it done like ten minutes ago. I had to do the same thing keep installing and uninstalling drivers. I guess win 8 is just picky with drivers
[Nexus 7 Android Development] lambofgod13:
Yes it's very picky, did you see if you had permanent twrp recovery? Because it didn't stick in mine i had to go on twrp site grab the grouper file and flash in goo, just a heads up incase your didn't stick either.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] reaper420:
It appears to have stuck I booted into it a couple of times and everything thing seems to be right. I haven't flashed anything yet but I suppose I'm good to go, other than the fact that there's so many Roms to flash I can't decide where to start.

I'm having some trouble with this. I got disconnected while trying to restore to stock. I can get to fastboot but when I run Wugs it gets stuck on formating userdata. I let it sit for 15 minutes and nothing happened. Any one have any ideas? I'm worried I bricked my daughters Nexus...

Edit - Solved - I tried 2 of my USB port, both got the same error. When I usb my USB port where my mouse is usually pugged in it worked.

A question about the folder !readytoflash. Can one delete this folder after unlocking and rooting, or has it to stay on the phone??

I can't fix the bootloop problem. So I went into bootloader, plugged it in, selected soft-bricked/bootloop option and pushed flash stock + unroot. After flashing 4.2.2, it still didn't get rid of the bootloop screen. I waited around 20 minutes.

Root Toolkit Won't Restart Nexus 7

Hi there, it's been a while since I've used this but I'm having trouble once again.

Just over a year ago I got my nexus 7 (2012 Wifi 32gb) and took days upon days to get unlocked and rooted. I did not expect that with a nexus considering my old droid x on verizon was so easy to root.

Well I was so fearful of taking root that I never even took 4.3. Well I finally did and now I'm having the same issue... When the Root Toolkit goes to restart the device... nothing happens. I wish I had more of the technical lingo and specifics down, but it's been over a year.

I'm still unlocked, running stock 4.3 (JWR66Y) and using clockwork recover. Also is there any way to retain clockwork so I don't lose my existing backups?

Any ideas?

EDIT: Tried from a laptop and this time it restarted (Into bootloader), but no Fastboot was found. I noticed windows is having trouble finding the drivers.

---------- Post added at 01:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:44 PM ----------

Seems like it's working. Any idea why my crappy netbook is able to boot the nexus 7 into recovery but my desktop is not. Drivers maybe? But at that point the ADB drivers are there. Maybe cause they are both Asus :P
[Nexus 7 Android Development] gbennett:
hello. I cracked my nexus 7 screen pretty badly. the LCD doesn't work anymore (is blacked out), but know the nexus 7 is on because when i plug it into the laptop, i hear the windows sound that it is recgonized. i run the toolkit, but it cant find adb. know it needs to have debugging enabled and possibly mtp off....my question....since i cant see anything on the screen, how can i accomplish these pre-requisites? i want to sell the device on ebay for parts, but need to wipe the data first. many thanks

Hello wugs thanks for this awesome toolkit. Took me two days to solve adb driver not found, but once it solved unlocking and rooting is just a piece of cake.

Hi Wug,

I was using the NRT 1.78 for my Nexus 3G, however when i recently upgraded to Kitkat 4.42, the TWRP recovery wouldn't stick with SU- so as read in forum tried to upgrade to NRT1.80, however on installation of the software i get this error

---------------------------

AutoIt Error

---------------------------

Line 18846 (File "C:\Program Files\WugFresh Development\NexusRootToolkit.exe"):

Error: Subscript used with non-Array variable.

---------------------------

OK

---------------------------

I must also mention that my office PC is running Windows XP sp3 also the connection to android file host and other mirrors are blocked. Pls help.

Also on reverting back to the old 1.78 NRT- no such error- however my push files got wiped out! thanks

Hi all,

Sorry in advance if this has been posted.

This is on nexus 7 2nd gen 32gb wifi 4.4.2 KOT49H

I am trying to flash stock + unroot using device is on/normal. The whole process runs fine until I get to the "writing system" command line and it just gets stuck and doesn't move. At first I thought I just didn't wait long enough but I have left it overnight and it hasn't moved. My Nexus shows the fastboot screen and the only way to get out of this is if I boot the device through my fastboot. After I boot the tablet,

flashstock.bat says "status read failed<too many files open in system>

If I start the tablet into normal boot mode the process finishes and the stock rom would have been loaded in but all my files are still there so that means the full wipe was not completed properly.... For this device I also cannot install TWRP properly because it always says matchsum mismatch... I tried going to options and doing the force flash option, but still the same results. I want to restore it to complete stock + unroot because I got this tablet rooted from someone else and I want it to be a fresh install.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Edit 1: I've been trying some things of my own after doing some research. I re-rooted and flashed custom recovery inside and then I did a factory reset/wipe cache+delvick cache because someone said that this helped them but still no dice. Any advice on what else I could try would be appreciated.

Edit 2: I changed the cord and used a different USB slot and now its working .....

[MENTION=3110798]WugFresh[/MENTION],

I am on Paranoid android $.1 Beta rom with M kernel a67 and TWRP 2.6.3.1 .I am trying to take nandroid backup but everytime it boots in to TWRP recovery but never starts backup process just stays in the twrp options screen.i was able to take nandroid back up of other roms like stock,Purity and AICP but with this ROM i am not able to do it.

so is this the problem of PA rom or the toolkit? can you please look in to it.

thank you.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
What build do you have selected in the toolkit? "Custom ROM"? If so, try setting it to the latest stock build available instead and see if that works. "Custom ROM" assumes that the boot.img is already modified in a way that will allow privileged commands to run - however this might not be the case on the latest PA.

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 7 Android Development] keneth_c:
Boot into recovery. And then use the recovery options (from the device itself) to take a nandroid.

Give that a try.

I've never tried to use NRT to take a nandroid when my device is on a custom rom. Hence the above suggestion.

NRT works gr8 taking nandroid of stock rom otherwise :)

[Nexus 7 Android Development] KingPrincess:
UPDATE: I found out how to update twrp but I still wanna know if the latest is buggy before I give it a shot

I was originally gonna ask if there's a way to use wugfresh to automatically update twrp but does the newest version have bugs again, or JUST problems with backups?

I thought maybe if I checked custom recovery and then clicked root it might take me to another screen to just update twrp but it ended up starting my device in recovery and gave me rooting instructions in a popup telling me to flash supersu and stuff- I simply rebooted my recovery back into system should I expect any upcoming problems or did all the toolkit do is just push those .zip's to my device?

Not sure if its related directly, but clearly things are messed up.. Which is why you really need a successful flash stock.

Could you try it on another computer and report back?

I have encountered similar errors before and it was often due to a connectivity issue. You can also try another cord.

Let me know.

Take a titanium backup of your apps and app data.

Save any folders from your device that u need to onto your computer.

Reset back into factory settings (from the device itself).

And take it from there...

(try flashing stock again if you have to)

Let us know how that goes.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Just clarifying.. You are saying the word "restore"... You mean " Flash Stock + Unroot" right?

If so.. Please do it with "Softbrick" mode. Also please confirm that you have specified the correct device in the toolkit. What device is it by the way?

Also, try flashing a different factory pack.. Like and older version one. There is a pull down menu in the flash stock interface, you can choose any of those.

Also try doing a factory reset. You can do so from recovery.

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 7 Android Development] broncop3t3:
Right, "Flash & Unroot" and I chose soft brick mode. Device is Nexus 7 WiFi. I tried a factory reset and this is the error that comes up-

That was trying to reset via bootloader.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] keneth_c:
Do this...

Install GCloud (from Play)...

Take a backup... specially your system settings! ... (this is a cloud backup btw).

Take a fresh titanium backup of apps + app data (user apps ONLY). Copy the Titanium folder from device to your computer.

Then, from your device (not custom recovery)...

Do a factory reset (make sure to erase everything).

Hopefully everything should go well and your device should reboot.

Then use the toolkit & follow steps given by Wugfresh.

If all goes well...

Install GCloud once again from Play...

You can restore your device settings from GCloud... (hassle free).

Install Titanium backup from Play again. Copy the Titanium folder back to the device.

Then you can also restore apps + app data using Titanium backup.

Good luck.
