Yea! Thank you for taking the time to clear this up. You have a soooo much patience.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] DataHawg:
I have been using the same pc for a couple years now and have always been able to use one of my front usb ports to root several phones with adb and to run Odin on my E4GT. Using the toolkit, I was able to unlock my Nexus 7 using a front port but rooting was a no go. Tried it 3 times and thought I was doing something wrong. Plugged into a rear port and gained root on the first try. Lesson learned. I'll only use a rear port from now on. I had a good quality 3 foot usb extension cable and now leave it plugged into a rear port. If anyone gets stuck using a front port, try a rear one and it may solve your issues like it did mine. Great tool and great support, Wugs. Thanks and happy holidays

Beginner question--How do I know what recovery I have on my N7? The help page shows the option to root with or without CWM, but when I rooted I wasn't given the option. And honestly now I'm not sure if I have the stock recovery or CWM.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Logan_M:
Okay, question here.

The tool kit must have ADB to be able to root and unlock. Am I able to access that without downloading the entire Android SDK? If I could I would just download the SDK to get ADB but I'm a little low on bandwidth right now.

Thanks.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
The toolkit has everything it needs included.

thankyou wug for everything, happy thanxgiving to you and your family,,steve
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Logan_M:
Yes, but it isn't working for me on 4.2, I was able to unlock my Nexus 7 with the toolkit (Worked perfectly for that) but my Nexus won't boot up TWRP, I've tried permanently flashing it and temporarily, neither worked.

So I was wondering if I'm able to access ADB and to do it manually, or if I will have to download the whole Android SDK.

Maybe I'll just wait for the next toolkit version.

Awesome kit though, I think the problem must be that I'm on 4.2.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] crnHR:
Just yesterday I unlocked and rooted my Nexus7 using this toolkit. I had 4.1 then use OTA to update to 4.2 then use toolkit to install drivers > unlock > root. Took few minutes and all went fine...

I set my build to 'Any Build' and did not flash Custom Recovery

HTH
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Try rooting again with "Any Build" mode with the "Flash Custom Recovery" button selected. The reason its not sticking when you flashed it is because there are system files that need renaming. The perm_recovery.zip takes care of that.

But to answer your question about adb. I made it very simple to do manual stuff without the full SDK. Just go to advanced utilities "Launch CMD Prompt,". It will start a cmd window in the path with adb and fastboot.

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Thanks man. You too.

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 7 Android Development] n7of9:
easiest way: power off, then volume down + power to get into fastboot, and use volume keys to select 'recovery'...if it lets you in and you see blue text, it's CMW...if it gets stuck it's stock recovery

if the latter, hold power button (or power + volume keys) until it restarts

Just got my new Nexus 7 32GB today as well. 16GB isn't simply enough. So had to purchase another unit. And what a great day knowing tomorrow we might be getting a new version of this toolkit. :victory:

I'll unlock and root it tomorrow then. :silly:

Thanks WugFresh!

Yeah, but you were on 4.1.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] k5mitch:
I rooted mine a few days back on 4.2, installed custom recovery thru goo manager.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] crnHR:
not sure what you mean :confused: when I bought N7 it was on 4.1 and I use OTA to update to 4.2. Then days later I used this toolkit to unlock and root 4.2
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bizz2012:
Hi guys,

I have tried to root my Nexus 7 and it is stuck in TWRP with "Waiting for your device to finish booting back up..." on my PC.

What have I done wrong?

Thanks
[Nexus 7 Android Development] dsmenzies:
If you are on 4.2... Select Nexus 7 Android *.*.* any build --> then unlock your device --> then root.

Also for those wanting to know how to get the developer settings menu back and enable USB Debugging in Android 4.2... go to Settings --> About phone --> and tap on the build number 7 times. I know it sounds stupid, but that is the new magic key to access the developers settings! :)

Just a question, i used this tool to unlock, root and install cwm on my n7. Can i remove cwm touch and replace with twrp?

[Nexus 7 Android Development] T41NT:

[Nexus 7 Android Development] n7of9:

[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Ok, so my coding is going really well today. I really think I will be done tonight. Yay!

A word to the wise though; The program now uses Goo.im as the backend for everything because my host just couldn't handle it. They were nice enough to allocate me a large quantity of direct downloads (more than enough) through the program, but there is a daily cap; 30 per day per unique IP. That said, triggering a check for update, will register as a download because it downloads a small text file. So I recommend against checking for updates repeatedly today because your IP will get blocked and when the update is actually out later tonight you won't be able to use the updater, and will have to download the full version.

That said, the full version is going to be SIGNIFICANTLY smaller. The toolkit will now be entirely backed by an automated file list on the web. This means, the toolkit will only grab the files it needs. So if you only have a Gnex, it won't come with all the files for every single nexus device, but rather.. it will download them when you select that in the toolkit (if it doesn't detect them already in the local directory).

The device and build lists will now be populated from a text file that the toolkit can grab from the web. That means, in the future when a new build comes out, I can make it so the toolkit self updates within 20 minutes with everything it needs, and that build will be listed. Same goes for autoupdating CWM, TWRP, and SuperSU. The toolkit will therefore will always be up to date with the latest files. And I wont have to go crazy hard coding all of this like I have been.

Ok.. Back to coding for me. Thank you all for your patience. The slight delays in this release will ultimately speed up all future updates forever. ^_^

Now that i think about it how do I fix this?

I realize now I didn't select 8gb in anyway so why did the Toolkit only partition 8 of the 16gb?

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
The toolkit makes no assumptions about your partitions. My guess is that you did something else. I would recommend a full re-flash of stock. Something is wrong with your current setup.

I reflashed Userdata which did not help, and did factory reset inside of the OS, which also did not help. Still show only ~6gb free space.

EDIT update: I wiped everything I could in recovery and re-flashed system. OK now it seems. Weird though isnt it? What makes it decide to only partition 8gb?

So you mean i just have to run root process again and pick twrp? Am I right?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] n7of9:
you are already rooted, you don't need to do it again... I don't have the tool installed right now, but from memory there is an advanced section that allows you to flash a recovery you have already downloaded

if you can't find it or are unsure of what you're doing, rerooting again and choosing twrp isn't going to cause any issues, so go ahead and do that

[Nexus 7 Android Development] techspecs:
The easiest way to update twrp is to download goomanager from the play store and pick 'Install OpenRecovery Script' from the menu at the top right. Advance through the prompts and it will download and install itself. Profit.

Great tool for rooting and unlocking but absolutely dreadful for unrooting, each time it gets stuck on "sending system"
[Nexus 7 Android Development] freakshow999:
Put the new TWRP file on your desktop. Open Wug's tool and click on the advanced tab. In the middle column you will see the fast boot options select permanent connect your phone in fastboot mode. In Wug's click on recovery it will come up with a dialog box asking where the file is you would like to install. Point it to the file on your desktop....

Ya you've got to remember the N7 is a 2.1amp device compared to phones which are usually 1 amp devices. If you have a powered usb hub made for high power devices you may be able to pull it off but it's always recommended to use the rear usb ports.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] 266K:
Hi all, I m now on 4.2( rooted) from 4.1.2, prior sys update, I did a Nandroid backup to TWRP folder. Now I would like to go back 4.1.2 but when I select N7 any build, it wouldn't allow me to proceed. I tried select my device as 4.1.2 but was not able to see contents in TWRP backup folder during recovery.

Any help for me to go back 4.1.2 is highly appreciated.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Mallikanth:
The folder structure has changed with 4.2

Connect your N7 to your pc (or use something like es explorer on your Nexus) to find out where your saves are and move / copy them
[Nexus 7 Android Development] rodem77:
Did you rooted with this tool? Did you flash also TWRP? If yes, poweroff your device and then power on by pressing both power+volume up, select recovery with volume keys and push power to confirm. And android with red triangle appear, push power and then volume up to enter in recovery mode. Now you can see if you are in stock recovery or in touch twrp.

If you are in touch twrp you can see and restore your nandroid.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] 266K:
Indeed I have flashed TWRP recovery. but I seem to stuck at "Select Package to Restore". It is blank, nothing for me to select. I m able to see all backup files in a folder using File Manager.:crying:

What boggles my mind is sometimes someone will ask a question and the answer is in the post right above them. :/ due to someone asking the same question 1 minute earlier.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] SteveC485:
The multi-user feature of 4.2 rearranges the storage in the N 7. It creates a folder in memory that will be listed as storage 0 or just 0. When you open this 0 folder it will look just like the normal storage card, which will still be present as well. The normal folder is where recovery looks, but the backup is in 0. You will need to copy the required nandroid in "0" and move it to the backup folder in the recovery folder in the regular SD folder.

Just general observations on the thread.

Do a complete wipe with factory reset before you restore the 4.1.2 backup from the 4.2 ROM.

Both this storage arrangement and the fact that yes you can use the tool to root 4.2 has been covered multiple times, +1 on my part to the two posts above.

Another thing that seems not to have registered is that there can be some serious issues regarding charging/rooting/usb 2.0/usb 3.0/and the quality/compatability of the data cable. If you have problems

1-change usb ports, try a 2.0 port

2-change computers

3-change cable

4-be sure you have the Nexus 7 selected from the list

5-use any build if you are having problems

6-be sure your Nexus is fully charged first

I personally had some recurring foul ups that were related to several of the above.

For those of you who have 1.5.5 already, the 1.6.0 update package is officially live now. I am updating my site right now with new information and the full version.

I was able to do everything I set out to do in this release. Support for the Nexus 10, 4, new 3G Nexus 7. 4.2.0 support, and what I spent the most time on - a fully web backed system, that autograbs the latest files the toolkit needs, and populates everything from text files I maintain on the web, making keeping the toolkit updated with the latest files nearly instantaneous.

Lots more info coming. Enjoy ^_^

My understanding is that Original Development is development that is not based on anyone else's work. That's the explanation I saw.

---------- Post added at 04:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:39 PM ----------

Trying to go from 1.5.4 to 1.5.5 and I'm getting a hashtag mismatch after 1% download. And the updater just keeps cycling. I'm running the the toolkit as administrator so that should not be a problem. Maybe too many people trying to download?

I tried a search and looked back over the last couple of pages but didn't see anything for my situation (running the updater).

I just noticed the current version is 1.6.0. Im guessing the old update files are not available. New install? Or some other way to get past this.

Update: Tried to get a newer version of the updater but the link was down. (from the FAQ page)

Update2: Problem solved - downloaded the 1.6 package and 'stole' the updater out of that. Connected and verified via 'list devices'

Thanks for the hard work. I haven't needed to use this for a long time but it's peace of mind to know it's there and configured.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Glad you got it resolved. The 1% download and mismatch is indicative of reaching your download cap for the day. Goo.im has given me special permissions to let the toolkit pull files directly from their servers, however they put a limit of 30 per day per unique ip. Normally this should be way more than enough (especially considering once you download the toolkit files once for your device, you won't need to again), however my guess is that you tried to check for an update a bunch of times prior, so you preemptively reached your cap.

Thank you for reminding about the updater. I forgot that I crashed that server and need to re-upload that somewhere. I am going to revise my FAQs now.. It could be way cleaner. I don't like the way they look now.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] Mallikanth:
Wugfresh, Just to stop "my 1.5 won't update!" comments is it possible for the 1,5 auto updater to advise there is an update in some way?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
The old Wug_Updater.exe (prior to 1.5.5), will forever just be an annoyance until it gets phased out. Total catch22, I can't update the updater :( I was hoping by now people were on 1.5.5 so they could seamlessly update to 1.6.0. But there is no way I can just prompt the user with some message like that if they are using the older updater. That said, it might be a really good idea to put a feature in the next release that just checks for "General announcement" updates, that will get populated into a one-time msgbox in the toolkit. Then I could syndicate text base announcements to everyone using the toolkit in a simple yet practical way. That would be really simple to integrate the way the toolkit is now built. Basically, I would make it rely on the same master lists the toolkit now uses.. and if it noticed a new update message was out, it would grab the raw text and then populate it into a message box. I wish you suggested this sooner..Lol! Oh well. :)

The good thing though is the full version is now less than 50MB, and you can install it over the previous version and it will do the same stuff (it will know to remove legacy files on first run), so I am hoping that even if people have that issue, they will just resort to downloading the full version.

The main reason I built that updater before in the first place is because the file size was getting massive.. but with this release I realized that I needed to rethink the whole thing, because at the rate the file size was increasing, adding two more device would have just become ridiculous. It would only be a short matter of time before the download exceeded half a GB (which is just silly). Now the full version is light weight and will only grab what it needs when it needs it. No more redundant files for all the Nexus devices when the end user only has one or two. And no more worrying about me releasing a whole new toolkit update for small things like new CWM/TWRP/SuperSU.. just notify me and I will upload the new files, update the master lists, and tell people to use Help > About.. to re-download the master lists.

Thanks for all your help in this thread by the way.. seriously... most appreciated. Especially while I was busy coding. I really appreciate those people who have actively been helping out here, it makes it much easier for me to stay somewhat sane :D
