So can anyone help me out so I can root this again I lost root some how plus looks like my recovery is good, what can I do?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Just root again

[Nexus 7 Android Development] alpine101:
Thanks Wugfresh, this has worked well on my O2 LTE Nexus 7. After I removed all the multitude of other adb usb drivers that I'd ended up with over the years on my laptop. I hadn't come across the USBDeview application before, very useful!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Yeah, that application is nice. Nirsoft makes a lot of my favorite freeware, great lightweight portable utilities; http://www.nirsoft.net/

soft brick..

Went to use this kit to flash stock and unroot, everything was going well, the drivers were fully set up. i flashed the stock rom using the toolkit and it said something like verifying bootloader...failed.

i was previously on a 4.3 custom rom.

how should i proceed?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] devra1:
Lost root

Hi Wug. Thanks for a great Toolkit, to which I donated and have used many times on 3 different Nexus 7s.

I currently have a Nexus 7 2013 WiFi model with JSS15Q.

Today I started the toolkit and it automatically downloaded a new SuperSU 1.60.

I saw that latest TWRP downloaded was 2.6.2 but that 2.6.3 was available from TWRP site, so I manually downloaded openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-flo.img.

I used the toolkit to flash TWRP 2.6.3 and everything was fine.

After it was finished, I used "Root Checker" to test if I still had root, and I was no longer rooted.

I used the toolkit to re-root, but at the end when I start SuperSU I get the message "There is no SU binary installed".

In the toolkit directory data/Root_Files there is a file UPDATE-Super-v1.60.zip.

Can you please help me get root back?

EDIT:

I found that UPDATE-Super-v1.60.zip had been copied to Nexus folder !ReadyToFlash\Root_Files so I manually flashed it from TWRP.

I got a message that some other superuser App was also present and that this could cause problems. After confirming that SuperSU could remove the other App, it completed and afterwards I had root back.

I do not know why rooting worked when I got the Nexus 7 two weeks ago, but did not now.

Could it be that the Toolkit stumbled over this warning message, because I never saw any errors while trying to root with the toolkit?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bobd2754:
updateI'm trying to flash back to stock. I get all the drivers loaded and the tool is updated. I had to put it into Force install in options after I get a boot loader failed message. After several attempts with different ports, etc. It goes through what looks like it's installing and erasing things, it gets to:

sending system (471804 kb) then sits there. I've done this a couple of times, once even leaving for a couple of hours. I came back and found bootloader errors.

What can I do?

Ok know it won't even give me the Google logo let alone the bootloader screen. It's been charging all night. Not happy. Is it toast?

Problem

When i wont to root it stuck in recovery mode and on my computer says Waiting for your device
[Nexus 7 Android Development] icethegreat:
I've rooted but my question is: is root permanent or do I have to Flash supersu every time I flash roms? I ask because I lose root occasionally
[Nexus 7 Android Development] aDVnatgae:
Problem please help

so using the Nexus Root Toolkit v1.7.2 i first unlocked the device and then root (also flash: custom recovery). After all that

I opened SuperSU just liked it told me too and i fought the error saying 'There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it.

This is a problem! If you just upgraded to Android 4.3 you need to manually re-root'

I have no idea wht that means. I went to update the app in play store but gave me the same errror.

Please help me
[Nexus 7 Android Development] devra1:
[MENTION=4266178]aDVnatgae[/MENTION] - see my message 5 posts up. This is exactly what I had.

- Check the folder !ReadyToFlash\Root_Files on your device, to see if the file UPDATE-Super-v1.60.zip is there.

- Go to TWRP recovery and flash this ZIP file.

- It should give you a message something about some other superuser App also present and that this could cause problems.

- Confirm that SuperSU can remove the other App.

- It will complete and afterwards root will be back (I used Root Checker to check).

I am hoping WugFresh can tell me why this happened.

I suspect there may possibly be some interaction between SuperSU and Superuser on this new Nexus 7 2013 which rooted without problem when I received it 2 weeks ago.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] irishobo:
I'm having the same problem. My says invalid state when trying to flash the boot loader during the return to stock script. After that error everything else seems to flash fine, but still stuck on boot animation.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] cammel:
Hi, I'm running stock android 4.3 on my brand new Nexus 4 and rooted it using this toolkit without any problems so far, but I'm about to flash a custom rom and the thing is that I'm a little scared of doing this cause I read that some users are having problems returning to stock android images using the toolkit after using a custom rom... Is this true? Does anyone here had problems returning to stock android 4.3 on the nexus 4 in particular using the toolkit?

Thanks in advance for the help!

[Nexus 7 Android Development] NaabKing:
Hey all,

I just have a quick question as i wanna root my Nexus 7 (2013):

1) How do i check if my bootloader is locked? I live in Europe and it's buyed in Europe, so maybe my bootloader is not locked? Or maybe bootloader is locked on ALL Nexus 7 devices?

2) What are those "Driver Installation" for? I've watched some YouTube videos on how to root the device and noone mentioned this or even clicked on it.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] devra1:
All Nexus 7 devices are locked when new.

You can unlock it with the toolkit and then you will see an unlocked padlock when you boot, or in the bootloader (fastboot mode) at the bottom you will see "LOCK STATE - unlocked".

The process of unlocking wipes the device so do it before you put too much on it, or do a backup/restore.

If you are using a Windows PC then you need to install drivers so that ADB and Fastboot can see the Nexus.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] NaabKing:
So if my PC recognizes the Nexus when i plug it into the USB, then i'm good to go? And i dont have to install anything else? (Windows downloaded drivers itself when i pluged the Nexus in the PC for the first time)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] devra1:
No, that is not the correct driver.

Read the very helpful "Full Driver Installation Guide - Automatic + Manual" in the "Initial Setup" section.

When you press the button it shows the help, without actually changing anything.

Info about new factory images

Hello, I am currently away from my main development workstation and will be until sept.23rd. Once I get back I will get the work done quickly to provide full support to the new recently released factory images. I may be able to get it up before then if the internet access where I am remains cooperative and will allow me to get stable remote desktop access. Either way, within the next 3-4 days full support will be added... hopefully sooner rather than later. Cheers.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] Real_JESRadio:
Got through the whole process, successfully unlocked but not rooted. Tried rooting again and nothing. No errors come up when in the process. Click on SuperSU and it gives me the "update binaries" message and it says SuperSU cannot perform the action. Click on the busybox app and get an error message. Not sure what to do now. Is there a manual root method?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] rhodareyes:
APX now

tried to move to 4.3 using 172 toolkit flash stock + unroot.......process was perfect at first till fastboot....start flashing .....and then while waiting says interrupted....hangs in there...shutdowns itself....unable to power on all sort of combo press nothing.....connected again and KABOOM the dreaded APX mode...what the hell happened was it the toolkit or i...read somewhere not to use toolkits so my bad.... and never again.....i dont blame the toolkit it was a risk i took and read people happy with it but not me
[Nexus 7 Android Development] angry.scapula:
this is works for me! thanks a lot!

I had 2 problems during rooting

1. is stuck at waiting device on TWRP screen(fastboot not connected)...I simply reboot and just re-root again (fastboot somehow connected)

2. is the No SU binary...but devra1 tips works for me
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ALD3:
For some reason, my Nexus 7 has never automatically entered fastboot or restarted. I will wait till I get notice that fastboot not found and then manually enter fastboot mode, then click OK and it will work. Then when waiting for device to bootup, I will have to also manually boot. Also flashed Ready to Flash folder. This has always been how mine has worked, thru all the software updates. No matter if rooting or unrooting.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] cammel:
I just don't get one thing... A few months ago I unlocked, rooted and flashed my Nexus 7 (2012) using this awesome toolkit for the first time. I installed the drivers the toolkit suggested and everything went Ok.

Now a few days ago I bought a Nexus 4, so I choose it from the list of devices on the top left option of the toolkit, I connected it with USB Debugging on and it wasn't detected, no matter what I did, so the only way to unlock it and root it was to install the drivers all over again.. So everything went fine again.

Now, today I wanted to connect my Nexus 7 again, and it wasn't detected... So, the question is, how I'm I suppose to use 2 different nexus on the same computer?? Do I have to reinstall all the drivers every time I connect one or the other device to the pc?? Isn't a way that I can use this toolkit for both the devices without having to uninstall and then reinstall all the drivers every time I connect the nexus 4 or the nexus 7?? [MENTION=587264]wug[/MENTION], can you please enlight me with this??

Thanks in advance for the help!

I'm with 4.2.2, root, unlooked bootloader and with recovery.

I tried to flash 4.3 (V or Y), but process seems to flash bootloader 4.23 and then stop.

If I try to boot the system i receved a "booting fail" message.

The only thing I can do is to flash 4.2.2 again and then root....

There is step by step guide for this great tool for update to 4.3?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] TadeoNYC:
My recommendation is to take one step at a time. Create backup, flash stock recovery, remove root, then flash 4.3, then flash recovery of choice, and then SuperSU. I prefer to copy all the files to my SD and use the toolbox to install them. Sometimes the toolbox is a version behind so check the websites for chainfire's SuperSU and clockworkmod touch recovery to double check.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Last night I got everything updated. If you have autoupdates enabled just restart the toolkit and it will grab the new masterlists, or you can initiate an update in the toolkit via Ctrl+U. All the latest builds are now supported and all the latest files are now utilized again (for supersu, twrp, cwm, etc.)

Cheers.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
You may want to try using alternate USB ports for each device. Yes, you should be able to use multiple nexus devices without complications. You definitely shouldn't have to reconfigure the drivers each time. I use NRT for my gnex and N7.

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Maybe try flashing an older/different-version factory image pack. Unfortunately flashing stock is the only solution. You may want to try NRT using a different usb port or computer.

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 7 Android Development] cammel:
Ok, thanks for your answer WugFresh! :D

So, If I want to start fresh again with all the drivers and my 2 nexus devices to fix this mess, what is the best way for doing it?

I'm running cm10.2 on both of them by the way (maybe it has something to do with the problem I have..)

Should I first uninstall all the drivers from the pc related to both my devices, then plug in one of them to one of the USB ports, follow all the toolkit steps to install the drivers, and then do the same thing with the other device but on a different usb port?

Is it recommended to plug in the phone to the pc (the normal way, without turning on usb Debugging) to let windows automatically install the basic drivers (to use file transfers, etc) before installing any driver using the toolkit in order to use adb and fastboot?

Thanks a lot in advance for the help!

[Nexus 7 Android Development] bobd2754:
Thanks, I tried different versions and computers and USB cables, it will be seen (sometimes) as APX (?), I can change the drivers to ADB Composite, but it's never detected. I've contacted ASUS and they told me to send it back for repair. Thanks for all the help guys. :good:
[Nexus 7 Android Development] cammel:
[MENTION=3110798]WugFresh[/MENTION] I think I found out a little bug or problem since today's update, but maybe I'm wrong, so I'm just letting you know so you can check it out...

Today I uninstalled and re installed all the drivers again so I can finally use my Nexus 4 and 7 on the same pc without having to install the drivers every time I connect one or the other device like I told you earlier today (that's the problem I was having)

Everything went just fine, I can connect both devices without any problem now, but if you try to use the #1 solution which installs the universal adb installer tool (by Koush's) since you updated it to version 7 lately, it seems that the script still looks for number 6 file when trying to install it, so it ends up giving you an error message.

Please if you have the time, give this a look, cause I could be wrong.

Thanks in advance for all your help!

Nexus 7 (2013), ROM "JSS15R"
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Dude360:
Hi, thought Id give my tilapia a do over and start from scratch using the NRT.

Unrooting, factory image and re-locking all went fine and its all back on stock.

Unlocked and went to re-root and ran into an issue.

When it gets to the temporally booting into TWRP to flash the pushed root files, the bootloader freezes and TWRP isnt booted. NRT carries on to the rooting stage and doesnt respond until the device is hard powered off, which then of course isnt rooted and NRT finishes.

Tried temporally booting to TWRP to flash the zips manually and same happens, bootloader freezes on 'booting downloaded image'. Hard power to get back.

adb is unresponsive at this point as well (no devices)

Got round it by manually flashing TWRP and flashing the root files.

Anyway, just thought Id let you/all know in case it happens to someone else :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:

[Nexus 7 Android Development] cinco312:
Yes it did.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Dude360:
1.7.2 with the updates that it pulled down shortly before I posted.

Everythings fine with the N7 though, it was just the freezing during the rooting part. Could easily be specific to my device though if noone else has reported it :)

I had a look for any logs but may have overlooked them?

Id had a few issues with external storage, not being able to copy to certain folders or extract zips so decided on a full reset.

Id rooted with a manual kit before but used NRT after using it on my N4 recently.

Everything went smoothly with both and dont seem to have any storage problems anymore :)

Had a proper look through the toolkit last night, never really played with the AIO kits before but its really well put together so good work with it.

Sent it my mate for his N4 as well and he said all went well and really well explained info for a semi-androidian user :)

SuperSU error

I just bought the device and have updated to 4.3 later I unlocked my nexus 7 and then clicked the root option,later after everything is done I am getting the below issue. What I am suppose to do.

"There is no SU binary installed,and SuperSU cannot install it.

This is a problem!

If you just upgraded to Android 4.3,you need to manually re-root -consult the relevant forum for your device!"

Now that there is some root issue Can I root my device using KINGOAPP?? Or is there any alternative using Wug's toolkit.

thanks
[Nexus 7 Android Development] lowao:
[MENTION=2630360]bigbonly2u[/MENTION] I would recommend reading through this thread [or at least some of it] and reading the main post again or a three time. My post which is exactly one post above your post explains that root failed for me as well and that I had to re-root the device for it to succeed. Don't take rooting, unlocking, custom recoveries, and installing custom roms so lightly. You can and will brick your device if you don't understand everything single aspect of the process. I am not being trying to be rude, but understanding EVERYTHING can and will save you from a **** load of headaches.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] danvee:
If you have a custom recovery installed, you can flash SuperSU through it.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] namdiablo:
help please, after I wiped my memory data and reboot, I can't access to the recovery mode. It turns to black screen. I am using nexus 4 ?!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Snoman002:
Well, not to be rude, but it was actually quite rude...:p

I likely just finished getting through the same issue as bigbonly2u had and there is NO indication that there is a driver problem causing root to fail. The devices connects just fine, apparently flashes just fine, but doesn't get full root access. The end result was SuperSU was only in /system/xbin and not also in system/bin. Flashing the SuperSU zip file through TWRP worked just fine to get root, but man was it a hassle figuring it out. I'm no expert at rooting, but this isn't my first rodeo either, and this was a game of cat and mouse. Now I don't know if it was a driver problem, but if it was everything except putting SuperSU in /bin worked, it isn't exactly something that leads you to believe that there is/was a driver issue.

In the end, root checker pro identified that SU wasn't in /bin but was in /xbin so thanks to that app for helping me out.

And a big thanks to the dev's of the toolkit. I have done the manual process of downloading all the drivers, SDK's, ADB etc before and this was an excellent way to go about it.

Now, hopefully after loading CM I can get the darn keyboard to work with Gapps... This has been the WORST rom flash I have ever had, one thing after another. (*derp, just figured out downloaded the latest stable, thinking it was 4.3, which I got the gapps package for, except the latest stable is 4.2...mark that one up for stupidity!)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bobd2754:
Just finished rooting the repaired N7 that Asus was kind enough to cover under warranty!! :)

I had issues with drivers, but that was because I didn't turn off the "look for updated drivers" thing. SU didn't install, but I remembered seeing something here and flashed them. Running CleanRom 4..

Thanks for the great work.
