kitkat

If i install new kernel that u posted will it still boot up in kitkat?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Do NOT flash that if you are running KitKat, unless you want to spend time reflashing your device.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Freshtojeff:
Worked flawlessly to 5.0! Thanks for your work Wug. For anyone who's doing the process, I got a mismatch the first time around but retried it and got a match. I had to flash a good 4.23 boot img in order to get it to boot. First boot takes a while about 7 mins for me.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Scipizoa:
Android 5.0 ota and factory images now live :) now the waiting game xD
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Jump1ng:
Not sure if anyone else have the same problems but after successfully using the toolkit to upgrade my N7 to Lollipop I tried to use tool kit to do some backups of files etc but it keeps saying that can't do that with the device set to any build tried changing it several times and its keeps saying that even though its selected.

Might just be me doing some stupid but when I restart the app it says the correct build selected just when using some of the backup features it seems to lose this and wont allow them to be run.

Just thought I would see if any one else seen this or not.

Thanks for a great tool btw like using it for the N7!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Scipizoa:
If ur using the image that just came out the toolkit may need updating
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Danny1976:
I keep getting mismatch when trying to install Android 5.0 on my Nexus 7 2012. I downloaded the image from the Google site and cant seen to get it installed. I am running v1.93

Update: Change extension from .tar to .tgz worked for me and got to the file to match.

I didn't have problems flashing the rom itself it worked straight off the bat. Just some of the other functions in the toolkit doesn't seem to work for me on Lollipop
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ichigo_kurosaki:
Well, well, thank you bro! :D :thumbup: yeah, i was kinda surprised that it's in .tar format when it's supposed to be tgz. And the link was like official because it started with dl.googleblahblah..out of my desperation, i was almost tempted to "force flash".:D
[Nexus 7 Android Development] hazwheel:
Once again, a perfect grouper flash, thank you sir :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] salutcemoi:
Thank you thank you thank you .

Flashed the Lollipop factory image without any issue, too easy?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Danny1976:
I had the same issue and I solved it by downloading Nexus Root Toolkit v1.9.3 https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001603147 and installing it on top of the current one.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] secret.animal:
Kept having issues until I flashed 4.4.4 then 5.0. Crazy but it finally went.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ginobili1:
Thanks bro

Thanks for the amazing piece of software. You're THE MAN! I used your tool even for my GNex Unlock+Root. Thanks again! Love your work....
[Nexus 7 Android Development] :
1) Updated the Tablet to 4.1.1

2) Did the manual driver install using the PDANet drivers for 64 bit Windows 7

3) Successfully did the 'Unlock' command

4) Clicked the root button with permanent CWM enabled and it's now stuck on 'Setting file permissions...'

Any ideas?

screenshot:

http://i.imgur.com/HyQDF.png

EDIT 1: I have SuperSU installed. I just ran it and successfully updated it.

EDIT 2: Downloaded 'Root Checker' and ran it. SuperSU came up with a message saying it requested root access. I granted it. Root Checker came back and said I have root access. Guess I'm done then? Just a weird bug with the toolkit?

EDIT 3: Rebooted into recovery, tablet froze at the Google logo with the unlocked icon. Tablet still boots into Android fine.

EDIT 4: Tried to manually flash CWM Touch via the toolkit advanced utilities and got stuck at 'Rebooting into bootloader'. The dialogue stayed up while the device rebooted into the bootloader. Toolkit just stayed there.

EDIT 5: Tried flashing CWM touch again, the modaco nexus 7.img file that comes with the toolkit. It successfully flashed but now I get this picture when I reboot into recovery from bootloader: http://imgur.com/rXiOu The tablet still boots successfully.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] FiveOhFour:
Not sure what to tell you on that one, i dont have much experience in root, my instinct would be that it sounds like some image or something somewhere along the way was corrupt given the multiple anomalies that took place, i could be completely wrong, but I would say restore to stock and then try everything all over again and see if the process doesnt improve. Someone will likely come along with better input but i feel thats a valid strategy, even if its not the best one out there.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] :
I'm not sure that I need to restore to stock. I'm rooted and unlocked which is awesome. I just don't have a working recovery. Perhaps I should locate another img and verify the MD5 and flash it?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] FiveOhFour:
yea checksums are a necessity with these things, i guess return to flash may be drastic but when in doubt i feel like you cant go wrong starting with scratch. I didnt flash CWM because i want to use TWRP, i really like what TEAMWIN has done with TWRP 2.0, especially as far as CM9 and 10 and nightly build updates and all that kinda stuff, makes life much easier with my touchpad. They also made it much easier for people used to CWM because now it just flashes over CWM and takes its place which i think is cool. Anyway i would try reflashing that once you verify the image
[Nexus 7 Android Development] stewarta:
...sorry to cross-post ..... but install ROM Manager and update CWM ...then just do a Nandroid backup using ROM Manager.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] :
Thank you this worked perfectly. My nexus 7 is now unlocked, rooted, and CWM is installed and working perfectly. Thanks guys for the fast replies!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] FiveOhFour:
Ok so just for my edification, it was just an update to CWM that was needed right or am i missing a key component here? Im not stupid im just ignorant to the ins and outs of android and all of this, Mac/PC repair is my forte, ill get there though
[Nexus 7 Android Development] :
When I ran rom manager it showed no install of CWM even though I had flashed it twice with the root toolkit. I'm going to put my money on a bad recovery image. Rom manager app flashed it's own version of CWM successfully that works perfectly.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] FiveOhFour:
Cool, thanks for the update not trying to hijack this but anyone willing to just be a contact for me (as i said ive still got my training wheels on) who is on here often Shoot me a PM, would be nice to have a few contacts to bounce ideas/questions off of without having to start a thread, especially when they dont really necessitate a full thread being started by any stretch of the imagination. thanks
[Nexus 7 Android Development] R1150GSA:
Wow. Just, wow. :good:
[Nexus 7 Android Development] FiveOhFour:
For me booting with Vol- and Power brings me to the fastboot screen with the android on his back and the button that says start at the top, except i cant press start or do anything but shut the tablet off. Same if i hold down VOL+ and VoL- and power to boot. I have TWRP recovery not CWM, is that the same issue yall are having or mostly just stuck on the google screen. I cant seem to find any combination to get it to boot into anything but this fastboot start screen and kinda freeze there, unless like yall i boot into twrp recovery from inside the OS.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] caanda45:
You are about right a bug in cwm does not allow us to go from the fast boot screen to recovery mode.

You can do it from an app such as rom manager or quick boot etc or also the following will work using adb manually.....If your PC sees your device you can boot into recovery with the command "adb reboot recovery" minus the quotes. And once your booted you can also use the app quickboot to get into recovery.

Or you can get there manually by having your nexus attached to your pc with a usb cable. Then power it on while holding volume up and volume down. Then once you see the "start" you press down on the volume down button twice until it says recovery, then press power. Hope that helps you out. from another poster named Gam3r 4 Life...adb is a great tool to use and or learn.

I also used this website and video to help me understand it and show a couple of shortcuts to get the path right...http://team-nocturnal.com/Install-ADB-and-Fastboot-on-your-Windows-computer.html and this video...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTX5tq29xP8

Good luck, helped me finally understand adb!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] torontobc:
Thanks for the feedback. I know updates won't brick the tablet (I have Nexus 7) but I don't want to have to wipe out everything again if I loose root. I use OpenVPN which requires rooting and that is all I care about. Of course I want the Google Updates. I gotta admit I am not sure what CWM does. I thought it prevents Google updates from un-rooting the device.

Thanks
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Serial_Noob:
Try writing what you did in English, being as specific as possible. Then let your collaborator translate it to Bash or whatever scripting language he wants to use. That's pretty much how I write all my code - and leaving some of the original steps embedded as comments makes it MUCH easier to understand what I was thinking 3 years later.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] dominican2589:
What is the proper procedure. Do you unlock and then root or root and then unlock?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jetarpon:
Unlocking/Rooting with this toolkit wouldn't have any effect on how much storage space the OS thinks the device has, would it?

Let's suppose, hypothetically of course, the following occurred: I ordered an 8GB N7 that arrived on Friday. I then immediately used the toolkit to unlock and root it. The next day, for the first time, I went into System Settings->Storage, and it said I had 13.24G of total space.

In such a scenario is false information being reported by the OS (it's actually 8GB, but being reported as 16GB), or would it mean I was shipped the wrong device?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] torontobc:
I heard it's possible to over-clock Nexus 7. Is that true? Is that only done with mods like CYM? or can it be done after just rooting and using the stock?

Thanks
[Nexus 7 Android Development] raywaldo:
Yes. I did and it worked fine.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Please read the instructions in the OP.

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Yeah, there wasn't official support yet. :)

You posted that like a millisecond after Google released it.

Initiate a toolkit update, everything is added now for the newly released images. :)

Hehe thanks! Nice swift updates making this tool superb! To bad I need sleep and my N7 need a bit of power as all this flashing stuff have eaten all the juice :P

stuck trying to root

When trying to root it pushes root files then root kernel but when trying to boot gets stuck at google logo. any thoughts?

already re-downloaded root kernel.

Manually flashed stock root kernel no go. Manually flash franco and it worked. Guess I just keep getting bad download.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] gerardo87:
There's already a franco kernel version for nexus 7 2012 with lollipop?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ichigo_kurosaki:
still can't flash.:(

[MENTION=3110798]WugFresh[/MENTION]

i tried as you suggested. i changed the extension of the factory image to .tgz. i redownloaded again this time direct from google's site (extension was still .tar so i had to change). and the funny thing here is, after the toolkit analyzed the image from google, it didn't ask me to enter md5 for verification. it just went on and verified and i got a mismatch and the download category was imported. i changed options in the selection of factory image location and somehow i saw the android 5.0 LRX blablabla option and tried to select using it. my image file was named exactly as how the toolkit wanted it to be: nakasi-lrx21p-factory-93daa4d3. still, to no avail for me. i tried to extract the zip but couldn't do it. now my last resort was let the toolkit download the image itself. i'll just wait for this to finish and hope my internet here in the office cooperates with me.

EDIT: something weird. if i go to the google download link manually, the images are in .tar format. but if i go to the download link via NRT (see screenshot), the file is in tgz. lol. this factory image put me through hell but i know this hardship is all worth it.:D.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] gollyzila:
I got stuck at the Google logo too. I rebooted into flashboot mode, then flashboot flash boot.img from the Lollipop .tgz, rebooted, then used CF Auto Root.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] secret.animal:
Any one else notice storage is much lower then before. I used to have my apps and backup. Can't even use backup, no room.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Mr-Glass:
A factory data reset will get your storage size corrected.... also wipes however...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] deeznutz206:
OTA failed to update

I had originally used this toolkit to root and unlock the bootloader. Did not do any custom ROM or anything. That was when my N5 was on 4.4.2. I've had the 4.4.3 update notification for awhile and have not decided to update until now since 5.0 is just around the corner.

So I let the phone download the 4.4.3 update and when it finished it said it was going to reboot. Rebooted and the android robot appeared on the screen for about 30 seconds but then the red triangle appeared with a "Error" message underneath the robot. Phone didn't respond to any touches so I powered the phone down via the Power button. Turned it on and everything is fine.

The only "mod" that I have done on this phone is the Tether hack. See below steps I did.

a.	Download and install the SQLite Editor app ($2.99) from the Play Store. (The free abcDB app in the Play Store may also work.)

b.	Launch SQLite Editor.

c.	Scroll down and tap Settings Storage.

d.	Tap “settings.db” to display the list of tables in the database.

e.	Tap the “global” table.

f.	Add a new entry: "tether_dun_required" with a value of 0.

g. Changed APN settings to use IPv4/IPv6

Would the above have caused the error of the update to 4.4.3? Do I need to unroot and relock the bootloader using this toolkit before the OTA update will work? Or do i do a Factory reset, which will erase all my data (would not prefer this) and the update will work?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] luckana:
can i root the LRX21O nexus 5 with the current NRT or will have to wait for an update ?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:

[Nexus 7 Android Development] FormeriPhoney:
Hey wug.. I flashed the lollipop build into my son's 2012 Nexus 7. All went well.. Ran like a dream.. For some reason I can not get any movies to play through VLC player on this. On my 2013 N7 Im having no issue. MXplayer has not been updated yet either so im not sure what video player works on this build.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Remember that Lollipop is using ART runtime - devs need to update there apps. Some of my favorite apps are still not working.. its just the way it is. You have to look for alternatives and follow the app devs for updates.

Cheers.

Nevermind I used CF-Auto-Root. Thanks anyway!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Shinare:
Used NRT to flash 5.0 from 4.4.4 and man it took FOREVER at the spinning little dots on the initial boot up. I'm just posting this to make sure if anyone is "Stuck" there just let it sit for like 15-20 minutes. It will eventually get there. Heh

In my case this is the first place I came after it passed the 15 minute mark and it was still doing it. Was just just about to post "I may be stuck" when it finally made it past.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] iBolski:
You'll also need to get the latest beta version of TiBu. The one in Google Play doesn't work with Lollipop. Get beta TiBu here -> http://t.co/UWns8EkXQ9

---------- Post added at 04:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:58 PM ----------

I don't know how much of that is due to ART. ART, from what I understand, recompiles the apps when they are first installed. After that, no compiling is necessary.

But yes, I had the same thing happen to me. I think it was about 20 minutes like you stated.

I just reflashed it again (didn't wipe userdata the first time, this time I did) and it was much faster on the second flash.

I also had a problem installing Lollipop on my Nexus 7 2012 wifi ... it said it needed to be updated to bootloader 4.23... I tried to get the bootloader image and used the NRT to update and after it went through the process I checked the bootloader version and its still not updated to 4.23... How do i flash it via fastboot? and/or Can I force flash Lollipop with NRT? Thanks in advance!

**** I followed Hulkanator and the link he posted ... found the correct bootloader 4.23 and flashed it via NRT and it updated****

There is a test build of mx player that works with lollipop. Just search mx player here on xda and when you are given results choose the thread about mx player not compatible with L and on that thread a link to the test builds are posted. Got it myself and it works perfect.

TiBU Not Working

Has anyone else had a problem getting Titanium Backup working after updating to Lollipop? I keep getting a message from within TiBu that it could not be granted root access. All my other apps requiring root work great.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] mkiker2089:
I can't get root to work. I updated to 5.0 with no hitch and can run the root toolkit. After it finishes SuperSU is not on here anymore. I went to the play store thinking maybe the interface was all that is missing but when I open it it fails telling me I need the binaries installed. How do I do that?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jpcalhoun:
After you updated, did you use NRT to root and install custom recovery?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] mkiker2089:
I'm using the stock recovery. The root kit is using TWRP but after the reboot and success screen I'm still stock.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jpcalhoun:
I think you need to use NRT to root and if you want install a custom recovery.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] mkiker2089:
I'm trying to use NRT to root, and it tells me it's rooted each time. After it finishes however Super User isn't installed and the device isn't rooted. Wug's update for Lolipop just isn't working.

I don't want custom recovery. NRT uses a temporary recovery as part of the root that installs busybox. That part seems to work.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] secret.animal:
Here was WugFresh post of the root fix. It was on post 4560.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] mkiker2089:
Wugs update doesn't work either. I'm told that I simply need to move a file but without root access I can't do that. I guess I just need to give Wug a few days to work it out. I'm just surprised I haven't seen more about it. Then again I'm new here and get lost easy.

Busybox compatibility to android L?

hey [MENTION=3110798]WugFresh[/MENTION],

i just want to clarify something. For a while now i have known that your NRT includes installation of the busybox installer when the user performs "root". busybox is included in the root files ready to flash. but, i jus want to know, isStericson's busybox still compatible with Lollipop? and is it really necessary to install it? after rootiing i haven't installed busybox on mine. so far root works. in addition to that when i looked up busybox in the playstore i saw another busybox app called busybox X, which, according to the dev, is the onlly busybox compaible with Lollipop. so i just thought to let you know if you don't know already..:) for future updates of dependencies for your awesome toolkit.:D
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Rafosky:
Hi there, I've been using NRT with all my Nexus devices, Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 5, 7, 7(2013) and 10, but this is the first time that I need some help. Yesterday I tried to flash lollipop in my 7 (2012) but I get stock in the Google word, I can restart bootloader, but that is. If I try to start it will say in the left upper corner in tiny white letters: Booting Failed. I don't know if this have been talked before or is just me but I will appreciate any help. I even flash it manually but with the same result. Thanks in advance. I looked through most of the thread but I can't find anything.
