Oh, ok. So how about this. I make something in the options menu to allow you to choose your devices. Then when you use the pull down menu next time, it only shows the devices you have. And when performing the update check, it does't just do it for the device selected, but any devices you own. That works?

nexus s 4g

I had to get my nexus s 4g replaced so I rooted it but I'm unable to flash any roms. I am unlocked and rooted but every rom I try to flash gives me a status 7 error......assert failed: get prop("ro.product.device").

I have searched the error alot and found one workaround that involves opening the rom and deleting 3 lines of code that look for the "ro.product.device" but its really a pain and can cause errors when downloading some things from store because device not found.

I will add that I rooted my original phone with version 1.5.? without any issues
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
You should try reflashing stock with the toolkit, then reroot and try flashing roms again.. My guess is that it will work. Backup your important data first.

That was happening on my nexus 4, it did it at 19%, 36%, and 48%, that's 3 different times, not in the same process. I just kept starting over and eventually it all went fine.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Thank you for the info. My guess is that it is just a really high traffic file. Now the toolkit has a manual download interface/importer thing so even if it fails the end-user can get a link to download it from their browser and then the toolkit will import the file into the proper directory. :)

[Nexus 7 Android Development] TheByteSmasher:
So where does the stock mako image come from if Google pulled it?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
I have all legacy factory images packages hosted on my goo.im account (thats how I have all the builds listed in flash stock), and the toolkit only grabs the latest builds directly from googles servers. So as of this moment, the toolkit would try to grab the 4.2.1 from Google's servers. I wasn't aware that they pulled it.. do you know why? Either way, have no fear... I will update the masterlist momentarily so that it grabs it from goo.im instead. Thank you for the info.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] makatram:
I've tried that. Seems the problem is when it goes to push files to my device I'm still rebooting and it says I'm fully rebooted even though I'm not. When it temporarily boots into twrp and says waiting for your device to reboot my phones just sits there in twrp. I can flash supersu and busybox but dont I need to flash something else???? I think that is why I get the status 7 ro.product error. I feel like if i could manually download what I'm missing maybe I could flash it and correct this.

---------- Post added at 07:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:55 AM ----------

I tried it under anybuild once and it actually pushed supersu, busybox, and perm-recovery-signed.zip......... should I flash perm-recovery-signed.zip

when I root and flash custom recovery it doesnt push the files because my phone is rebooting when the toolkit says its pushing the files.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
This issue doesn't sound toolkit related. You are rooted. I am guessing the issue is with the updater script of the rom you are trying to flash. You can't flash any rom? or just one rom..?

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 7 Android Development] makatram:
I've tried multiple roms.... flashed stock and unrooted twice and rerooted. the toolkits doesnt push files to the ready to flash folder because the phone is still rebooting when it saysits pushing the files. the reason I have the files in the ready to flash folder is because I tried once with any build selected and it actually pushed them. I feel like if i could flash whatever the toolkit was wanting to push I would be good.

---------- Post added at 07:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:16 AM ----------

the toolkit says rooting while in twrp and does but none of the files are pushed (supersu, busybox) I have to do that manually myself

There's a lot of conjecture as to why it was pulled. Most common belief is because you can access LTE on the 1900mhz band on the phone. Since the FCC didn't approve the phone for LTE it could be a mess for Google.

I unlocked, rooted and installed TWRP recovery on my N7 running 4.2.1 build JOP40D using the Toolkit 1.6.1. I just updated the Toolkit from 1.6.1 to 1.6.2 and noticed that during the update it downloaded the latest TWRP 2.3.3.0 and modified_boot_nakasi_4.2.1_JOP40D.img. A few days back I had "manually" updated the recovery on my N7 to TWRP 2.3.3.0 so I don't need to update the recovery in my N7. It's not clear to me if I need to also update/push the modified_boot_nakasi_4.2.1_JOP40D.img to my N7 and if so, what option in the Toolkit do I need to use? Is there anything new/improved in this .img file?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Mallikanth:
You need do nothing.

The updated Toolkit was updating the files it can use (but doesn't need too in your case).

Backup waaay to long

Hi, I clicked backup and only selected shared data... So it went ahead and started to back up.... I saw the setup and it backed up everything but now it shows "shared storage" in the place where it shows what its backing up. I dont know but this backup is taking hella long and its already taken 2.5 gb and keeps going on and on... Does anyone know what to do or if this is normal?

---------- Post added at 09:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:39 AM ----------

Sigh... It took real long but the backup finally finished!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
I found the adb shared backup to not do as complete of a job as a data/media backup, so I perform a backup without either option checked and then do a data/media backup afterwards. Your shared partition contains things like picture, music, videos etc, so it makes sense for it to take a long time. More information on backups can be found in the help file, via about > help.

relock boot = original boot?

[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Yeah but there is no point in doing that. If you ever needed to restore stock then you would have to unlock the bootloader again. An unlocked device is safer in my opinion because it gives you more options if there is a problem.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] N@th_OC:
Yeah it's definitly dangerous to keep your device lock.

Google isn't a carrier though. Some people, like myself, like to have the official update from Google and unroot/root to receive it. Of course people can always go on the Google website and flash it. I would agree with your statement "nothing is gained from getting an update ota from a carrier" when it comes to T-Mobile or a "carrier" updates.

Hey Wug, thanks for the awesome toolkit. I had zero issues on my old computer running XP, but ran into a wall with getting drivers/adb/fastboot to work on my new computer running Windows 8. After going through every nuance and going grey in the process, I stumbled upon this thread with a fantastic simple win8 driver download/install method from a member: graffixnyc. Figured I'd post the thread link here for others that may be having driver issues as-well.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1989675
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
If you are running v1.6.2 and use the recommended driver solution for win8 the toolkit provides instructions for disabling driver signature enforcement in a message box.

I also have the cmd line solution in the FAQs here:

[Nexus 7 Android Development] SteveC485:
OK, so I misspoke, your're right Google isn't a carrier. But it is the (as you put it) "official" upgrade source for the nexus 7, just as Verizon or whoever is the official "source"for the upgrades for the smartphones of the world (non nexus ones anyway). But you really just make my point for me. Just what is it you gain from an "official" upgrade from Google? Nothing from my standpoint, unless you are staying stock, in which case neither one of us are going to be here :).

As soon as you re-root and flash a custom ROM, you are no more "official" than I am, where I just flashed a 4.2.1 custom ROM over my rooted 4.1.2 ROM.

Un-rooting, re-rooting, etc is good practice for using the tool kit, nothing more.

I rooted from version 1.5.4. I keep everything updated, but as far as I'm concerned the tool kit is now just on hand as an insurance policy against the (hopefully unlikely) event I bork something and need a do-over.

Just used this to get back to factory image. I noticed my drive space was being used up and think it had something to do with the /0 folder. Might have been because I flashed a 4.1 rom and then back to 4.2. Anyways, went back to factory image, unlocked, and rooted very easily. Nice job WUG!:good:

TWRP, is NOT installed. You can try to use the toolkit to install recovery or you can get goo manager from the play store (free) and install it that way. (Or fastboot) pm me for questions.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] SteveC485:
At the top of the screen you should see an arrow banner that says start. Below that will be two smaller arrows, on up, one down. Control the selections for up and down with the volume up and down keys . When you get to recovery in the arrow banner select that with the power button.

That assumes you got to the fast boot screen holding both the power and volume keys simultaneously.

Or TWRP is not installed.

When trying to root and flash custom recovery NRT said it was waiting for system to boot back up but it was still on the TWRP screen for quite a while, so I pressed Reboot from TWRP.

NRT informed me to open SuperSU and Busybox but only SuperSU is installed. Will I need Busybox?

I can confirm the correct model is selected - Wi-Fi Tablet Android 4.2.1

/!ReadyToFlash/Root_Files folder on the device has CWM-SuperSU-v0.99.zip and perm-recovery-signed.zip

E:\NRT\data\Root_Files has the same 2 files as well as openrecoveryscript. Busybox is nowhere in either sources, not in the zips either.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Well then you are missing some files. Grab the full installer again and install it to the same directory.

I have the Nexus7 WiFi device on 4.2.1 and I can confirm that it works on that. Maybe try enabling Airplane mode and trying again after reinstalling the toolkit.

This is actually for a friend and he uses a different language and I'd like to remove the stuff I played with and get it back to the initial setup screen, but keep it unlocked/rooted. If I do a Settings->Backup & Reset->Factory Data Reset, will that keep it unlocked and rooted but put it back to the initial setup screen? If not, what's the best way forward?

Really really really an awesome work!!!!! I´ll be donating to you as soon as I can!!! :victory:

I need to ask you some stupid questions since this is my first time with a Nexus device...

Is it normal that after unlocking and rooting my Nexus 7 every time I turn it on under the Google Logo there is a new white lock simbol on the bottom center of the screen? is this right?? Is it normal??

Also I wanted to ask, how can I enter TWRP recovery?? I know that I can use the quickboot app, but isn´t there a way when the N7 is off to directly enter TWPR recovery? (I mean, on my galaxy S3 if the phone is off, I press home+pwer+volume up at the same time and it goes directly to recovery, but I read that this device has some kind of bug about entering recoevry mode...is it right??

And the last one, I followed the installation instructions to the letter, now are the drivers for my Galaxy S3 removed on the process of installing the Nexus 7 drivers?? should I unninstall kies and reinstall it in order to have my S3 fully working with kies and Odin again? Can this interfere with the Nexus 7 drivers (adb, fastboot,etc) if I reinstall my S3 drivers??

Thanks a lot in advance for the help and sorry for this noob questions!

And once again, really awesome work with this toolkit, I´m really glad I found it on the web!!!!!!
