Cool, I just checked it out briefly.. looks like a legit exploit. Not sure why you would want to root without unlocking, but I will check it out and ask the dev if he minds me including it in a future release, assuming this isn't a race condition hack and will be patched quickly... Also, I want all scripts to work on all the Nexus devices as this is a universal script.. so if that is not the case, I may not include that script. It's simple enough to run separately for now if you want to go that route, plus all credit for that method goes to the original dev.

It's not a big deal. :)

When you can make a toolkit for us why we can't just give a little work to make it working....??

Best of luck.

tablet wont start without resetting

Hello guys,

I rooted with this a few days ago, thanks, was relatively easy.

If I leave my tablet running/charging with the screen off, some hours later I come back and the tablet will not switch on. Pressing the power button for two or three seconds does nothing. I have to press and hold it for over 10 seconds, which I guess is a hardware reboot...

I searched but could not find this as a known issue, is it, and is there anything I can do now to fix it?

Thanks,

Mark.

Probably been asked before, but I couldn't find it in this thread.

If I want to go back to stock rom, but unlocked/rooted, how should I do that using your excellent toolkit? I have been able to unlock/root my Nexus 7 wifi with no problems using your tool, but now it seems o be very sluggish with paranoidandroid 3.5, so I want to go back to stock and see if its faster.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] androidfr33k:
Soft brick/boot loop feature. Does soft brick versus hard bricked mean that you need the fastboot bootloader intact? I can't find much information on how to unbrick a nexus 7 that has a bricked fastboot bootloader , other than nvflash in apx mode but the nvflash floating around does not seem too work with our nexus 7 because of the encryption key (SBK) for the bootloader

think this toolkit has a virus in it, its running in task manager and keeps trying to restart itself, iv got the busy icon on my mouse pointer and it keeps spinning very quickly cant even end the process
[Nexus 7 Android Development] sherlock5545:
There's no virus.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] slybunda:
something deffo wrong with this, its doing the same thing again, keeps spinning mouse busy icon really fast and hogging cpu usage. im running this in a limited user account. good thing too wont be using this, I advise others to be weary too something not right with it.

heads up to anyone else, if it happens to you just log out of the account and back in, no need to restart the whole system.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Rhian:
Watch this on how to go back.... It uses an older version, but the principles remain the same.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ashik992:
There is no Virus. If it keeps running in the task manager than just force close it. And it doesn't always keeps running on the task manager. I faced the problem once or twice when the toolkit fails to start. It's not a very big deal. I think you should be more careful when you use the word "Virus" about any software without being sure, it may discourse people from using an awesome toolkit like this.

I am gonna use this method to root as i do not wants to unlock my bootloader : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2233852

Can you tell me will i able to Unroot with your toolkit if i root from above method ? As i do not wants to unlock bootloader & wipe my data ? Please reply.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Having a locked bootloader prevents you from flashing IMG files in bootloader which is how flashing stock works. Google does not include special signature files that allow those files to be flashed with a locked bootloader, as these are nexus devices and are meant to be unlocked easily.

That said, most superuser apps have an in-app feature for completely unrooting, i.e. removing superuser. If you were to make any root level modifications to your device however, those would not be reverted. The best way to ensure you are back to stock is to flash Google's factory image packages, which this does (just need to unlock first).

I personally don't understand why you would root without unlocking, but regardless - you could always do that, and then if you needed to - you could unlock later when you need to flash stock.

This toolkit is not dependent on what other mods or methods you used, its operations should work regardless. That said, a unlock bootloader is needed to flash stock.

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 7 Android Development] H4CK_H0PP3R:
I do not wants to unlock the bootloader because i just wants to use some root apps for eg. Titanium backup etc & do not wants to wipe my any data as my nexus 7 will go for RMA by tomarro or sooner as its messed with speaker & battery, i know i can do lots of things by unlocking bootloader which voids warranty but rooting alone does not,

Currently just wants to root & unroot it again without unloacking bootloader after i complete my backup & certain things & when it again comes in my hand from RMA i will use your full pleadged method of rooting,unlocking & etc. :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ThurstonX:
Sorry to butt in, but I think you're missing the point. In order to root your device, you must first unlock the bootloader. Unfortunately, that will wipe your device. But then you can root it. I think the point is, once you've unlocked the bootloader, why would you want to RE-lock it? While that's possible, it serves no purpose, and worse, you would have to unlock it again should the need arise (use your imagination), which would, of course, wipe the device.

If you're going to RMA your device (I did my original 16GB Nexus 7), you should reinstall the stock image, then unroot (as needed), and finally lock the bootloader. There are plenty of guides on how to do that. And lastly, you say you do not want to wipe your data BECAUSE you're going to RMA it. But that's precisely WHY you need to wipe the data/restore it to stock. Why on earth would you send back a device with ANY data on it???

If you want to back up data BEFORE RMAing it, you'll have to use methods that don't employ root.

Good luck.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] skeeterfood:
I think you missed the point. The root method he linked to DOES NOT require unlocking the boot loader. Therefore he can back it up with Titanium, unroot, and finally wipe user data.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ThurstonX:
My bad. Didn't read back far enough.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] pmgreen:
I'm stuck on the "no command" screen. No matter what I do can't get into recovery mode. The screen slightly flickers when power + volume is held but the 4 boot options never comes us. Is there a way to use this tool in this situation or is this now a paperweight?

Is this now a paper weight?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Rhian:
Edit: I misunderstood what you were seeing. It is the no command with the Android on his back, right?

If not power off with the "hold power for 30 seconds" method, otherwise try below.

No, it isn't a paperweight at all. You only need to flash the recovery image again. You can either use the "soft-brick/bootloop" option of the toolkit or if you're comfortable enough, download TWRP 2.5.0 and hold power + vol. down but don't activate anything.

Then type on your pc:

fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-grouper.img

You should see something like this:

sending 'recovery' (7446 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.885s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.510s]
finished. total time: 1.399s

After that type:

fastboot reboot-bootloader

Your Nexus will reboot and awaiting your commands again, use the volume button to go to the recovery.

Fastboot and adb can be found in the data directory of your WUG installation, e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\WugFresh Development\data
[Nexus 7 Android Development] pmgreen:
Yes that is the dead droid, but no matter how I try power+ volume up/down the recovery screen never comes up. I don't have the ability to use fastboot since adb returns no devices
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Rhian:
adb won't return any devices, unless you're inside a recovery that supports it or android with USB debugging enabled. In this case you'd be looking for fastboot devices.

Just for clarity: when you switch on the tablet you see the Google logo with the opened padlock, then it goes straight into the dead android?

Have you tried pressing power + vol up + vol down while seeing the dead android?

It is quite clear you do need to flash a recovery, but the question is if we can get into the bootloader, rather than being stuck in some loop.

I'm currently without my PC, so I can't check anything else. The fact that you are seeing a dead android means you're somehow in apx/bootloader or even factory recovery or at least passed through the first into the latter.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] mkintop:
Where do I download this toolkit? The OP links don't appear to be working.

Edit: just tried another link in the thread and found the downloads. Hopefully this is as easy as it looks....
[Nexus 7 Android Development] pmgreen:
That's correct, have tried power + volume up, power + volume down and power + both buttons. Occasionally the screen will flicker but that's it. It's unlocked but on the stock ROM.

The computer doesn't see the device at all. Greatly appreciate your help
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Rhian:
What happens when you turn it off, wait one minute, hold power + vol. down?

Do you see the Google logo passing by? Anything else?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] pmgreen:
From power on, see the black screen with Google and the unlocked lock. Never see the multi color X or other screens.

The unit was working fine a few days ago. My wife thinks she failed to charge it and the battery may have emptied. We've charged it several times but that didn't change anything.

Tried using abd while on the google lock screen with my fingers crossed but no luck.

Thank you so much
[Nexus 7 Android Development] canestim:
Awesome work, thanks! Worked great for un-bricking my Nexus 7. It was running great for the last few months on the same ROM and then all of the sudden it would hang up on boot at the Google screen. Not sure what happened but it wouldn't even boot into recovery. It would go to the screen to select recover but would not load. Flashed stock and unlock with this and I am back up and running great. Thank you!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] smarty2322:
if i use this toolkit will i be able to install custom roms
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Rhian:
That you see the Google Logo and the padlock means it's booting the first part.

The only way to get to use fastboot/adb is getting into the bootloader first. This can only be done pressing power + volume down when the Nexus is

off

. This should turn it on and show an Android on its back without the red triangle a start pointing at the power button and two arrows leading from the power rocker.

Once on that screen you can use "fastboot devices", do not choose Recovery at this point as it's not installed yet. If you do see your device listed you can proceed. adb will not work unless you are inside an OS or compatible recovery.

Yes, you can install ROMs if you use this toolkit to unlock and install a recovery program like TWRP. (There are separate threads on that).

The advanced utilities button leads you to a window where you can boot into recovery (this should install the recovery of your choice set in the options).

Once you have your recovery program working make a backup through it (it's called a Nandroid backup)!

Then follow the instructions for the ROM. Usually: wipe everything (except internal storage) and flash rom, often gapps as well.

Also search Youtube for how-to videos, it is all well covered.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] pmgreen:
That's the problem nothing comes up with volume up or down. I've used ABD and fastboot before with no issues.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Rhian:
I can't think of anything else to try, expect perhaps for letting it run empty and trying this: http://www.droid-life.com/2012/12/27/fix-nexus-7-refusing-to-charge-try-this-trick/ and you already tried the factory reset (vol. up + power) when seeing the dead android.

Good luck!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ashik992:
On the Google logo connect the device to your PC and in toolkit try Advance Utilities-> Reboot Bootloader and see if anything happens.

If does try Flash Stock + Unroot (Soft-bricked/ Boot loop)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] pmgreen:
The G unlock screen doesn't stay long enough for it to connect.

Since it's unlocked G said the warranty is voided
[Nexus 7 Android Development] xolanir:
Try pressing the volume button in the middle (both up and down) + power at the same time when your tablet is completely off until you see Google and the unlocked padlock. That should go into your bootloader. From my understanding, volume down + powers triggers screen capture.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] pmgreen:
Nothing happens except for the dead droid with No Command. Never get the bootloader screen. It looks like it dims but nothing happens

Any chance it's a battery issue? * frustrated*
[Nexus 7 Android Development] xolanir:
Out of curiosity, what recovery is your device using? Stock/Custom recovery? Read this: http://forums.androidcentral.com/ve...acks/145501-red-triangle-reboot-recovery.html, it may have the answer you're looking for if you're on stock recovery. Hope this helps!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] pmgreen:
Pretty sure it has a custom recovery but I can't flash or even connect to be able sideload anything.

Never had a droid go dead like this on me before.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] DigitaL BlisS:
Just wanted to say thanks for this WugFresh.

Never thought rooting (and well pretty much anything else) could ever get this easy.

A very professional toolkit you've put together. It saved me a lot of time this morning.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] xolanir:
From what I've read, stock recovery usually presents with the symptoms your device is presenting, and the instructions from the link I threw in the last message worked for some. Can you retrace as to what you were doing prior the droid dying?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] --unkown--:
Hi ! I have a question !

If Iam running stck rom..twrp custom recovery and Franco kernel and wnat to update via OTA I need to first flash stock recovery and kernel right ? Thats all ? Nothing will be wiped right ?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] pmgreen:
Unless I'm reading it wrong, the instructions all involve being able to connect and check recovery, busybox etc. None of which I can do since it won't connect at all.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Rapture Veteran:
can someone help, ive searched but im a bit stressed out since this is my girlfriends tab.

i have the nexus 7 of course and i tried flashing an audio mod that just got stuck on "android is upgrading" and nothing ever happened. so i pulled the battery cable to turn it off and enter recovery mode but every time i do that i get the damn red triangle and regardless if the phone is off or stuck in the "upgrading" part, the wug tool doesnt find the phone. i cant figure out how to just do a nanroid or reset the phone

i need to clarify, i cant start the phone up past the "android is upgrading" so there is no possibility of that"
[Nexus 7 Android Development] landstander:
Have you tried accessing the bootloader manually? With the device powered off, press and hold both the up and down volume followed by the power button... keep them pressed until the bootloader screen (android with an opened hatch) appears. Once there you should be able to reflash your recovery of choice, using either this toolkit or directly via fastboot.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Toronadian:
Awesome toolkit you've made Wug. First time ever I've unlocked the bootloader and rooted a phone so thanks for that. Quick question, the "restore stock kernel" option, does that do enough to override Franco Kernel? The reason I ask is because apparently Franco Kernel will change a bit more than just a kernel, including system files to help things run better or something. With 4.3 coming out soon, I wanna be able to get everything back to stock (which would include a stock kernel) so that I can either get the OTA update or at least download the OTA zip file to flash in TWRP recovery.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
The flash stock kernel button will only fastboot flash the stock boot.img to the boot partition. If Franco Kernel makes system mods then those will not be changed unless you use the full "Flash Stock + Unroot" button instead or the advanced utilities button for flashing to the system partition, to flash the stock system.img file.

Not all system mods prevent OTAs, so you may only need to flash the stock kernel.. That being said, the easiest method would be to just "Flash Stock + Unroot" to get back to stock.
