Attempting to Backup Virtual SDcard informs you that your device must be UNLOCKED, doesn't this clear all the data?

restore not restoring

Im having a similar issue to a poster a couple of spots above me. Im hitting restore (for individual apps) it reboots the tablet then says restore is complete, but none of them actually restored. Im also not seeing an option to restore all so I could try that. if I can't get that stuff back its not a huge deal now that I'm rooted with titanium installed but it would be nice.

Android 4.2.2 released. Will this cause troubles with rooting, since 4.2.2 isn't implemented in the toolkit yet?

Re: [Toolkit] Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit v1.6.2 [Updated 12/29/12]

I updated my Nexus 10 to 4.2.2 via "flash zips" in root toolkit v1.6.2. Upgrade went smooth. I could not root it with root toolkit so I used rootkeeper. (Thankfully I previously ran it.)

Then I went to do a nandroid backup with root toolkit and it keeps telling me adb is connected but its offline. Not sure what to do now. Any ideas?

[Nexus 7 Android Development] tamanaco:
Don't know if this will solved your problem, but after updating my N7 to 4.2.2 I had issues with the adb commands. I updated the Android SDK to Rev 21.0.1 and Platform Tools 16.0.1 and that solved my problem. Btw, if you have issues updating using the SDK Manager because of a dependency on API 17... go to Packages and click Reload. Then try updating the packages again.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Spannaa:
This worked for me :)

I replaced the adb files & fastboot in the toolkit with the ones from the latest SDK and had no problem rooting 4.2.2 with v1.6.2 of the toolkit after setting the build to "NAKASI-GROUPER *.*.* - Any Build"

I'm sure others will tell you other ways to do it but what I did was unroot, root again, install "voodoo root keeper", set it to temp unroot, take the ota update, then in root keeper click "restore root". Boom. Done.

Didn't restore correctly

Hi,

I am on V1.6.2. I did a back up this morning. When I tried to restore from the backup (.ab file), the Tookits restored only one App, then rebooted. The Toolkits program still displayed the "restoring...." nessage, but didn't do anything further.

I tried this several times and the outcomes were the same.

How can I restore all my apps and data?:confused:

Thanks you.

Can I use the Flash Bootloader function to flash the new 4.18 bootloader?

Also, should this be done after I flash a 4.2.2 ROM, or before I flash the ROM?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] samCsc:
The free version didn't allow me to use that function, only the paid version does. Thanks for your suggestion. I may try the paid version later if nothing else works.

I later find out the ".ab" files are files created using ADB backup function (I didn't know this before). The ADB restore function reads these files. So I tried that. I got the same result - only one app was restored and quit. I tried a different .ab file - the same story.

It sort of tells me the .ab files created by the Root Tookit Backup function created the files incorrectly.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] knuckles1978:
Re: [Toolkit] Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit v1.6.2 [Updated 12/29/12]

The paid version is really worth it. I like being able to select all your favourite apps, then create an app+data 'update.zip' that you can just flash to restore them all after changing ROMs, same as what you were trying to do but its just a nicer way of doing it IMO... as well as other handy features. Its good to support the devs who make an app I use nearly every day like that :)

[Nexus 7 Android Development] NLBeev:
Wug's toolkit, and the latest adb.exe

Have some trouble with copying 'quotes' so forgive if this appears in the wrong place. I am only sharing how I rooted my Nexus 7 again after the OTA update to Android 4.2.2.

The first root of the Nexus 7 worked with a single click using Wug's Toolkit version 1.6.2.

Then the OTA update arrived on 14 feb. 2013. No problems, smooth updating to Android 4.2.2.

The OTA update wiped root permission, but the Nexus 7 stayed unlocked.

I could check the lock-status by starting the Nexus 7 in fastboot mode (volume buttons down at startup after a power off).

The main problem was that Nexus 7 was no longer recognized as ADB device.

Uninstalling and reinstalling usb drivers did not solve the problem.

Toggling debugging. When USB debugging is off Wug' s toolkit says ADB device is recognized but offline.

Rooting Nexus 7 again.

1. Update the adb files in Wug's toolkit v1.6.2. from now on called NRT.

Download the zip-file from Spaanna: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=37955981&postcount=2503

Copy these files to the 'data' directory of NRT.

2. Uninstall all unused USB drivers

Use in device manager the option Show hidden devices and uninstall all the greyed out drivers.

After a reboot I tried rooting the Nexus 7 with NRT. That did not work. Still the messages "adb device offline" or "adb device not found"

3. RAW usb drivers located in NRT

Windows 8 does not allow RAW drivers, but NRT shows clearly how to disable driver signature enforcement.

Change PC-setting - Advanced startup - Troubleshoot advanced options - Select: disable driver signature enforcement

Reboot and proceed to install RAW drivers.

Device manager shows Android ADB interface under Android Phone.

After toggling USB Debugging to on 'Nexus 7' shows up under Portable devices

3. Rooting again.

Reboot the PC and start NRT (so after updating the adb-files and installing RAW usb-drivers).

In NRT select the android build: NASAKI-GROUPER: Android*** - Any Build

Now NRT could connect to the Nexus 7 and send commands.

The Nexus 7 reboots and shows a menu. Follow the steps.

4. Voodoo OTA rootkeeper

Download this from Google Play and use it.

I hope it works when there is again an update that wipes the root persissions.

Special thanks to WugFresh and Spannaa.

I'm a little lost with this update to 4.2.2. I had 4.2.2. OTA update last night and I thought it would just install fine like the previous updates but this time it failed and I'm not sure how to update it manually now. I think it showed an error about TWRP? Its the nexus 7 with 4.2.1, unlocked and rooted via Wug's NRT a few months back and I have Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper v 2.0.3. I wanted stickmount to work so stumbled my way through months ago and everything had gone smoothly until now. I'm not sure what the correct and safest way is to update to 4.2.2 without loosing what I have now? Can I update to 4.2.2 without loosing apps/data/settings? Can anyone kindly provide direction on where I'm going wrong? TIA
[Nexus 7 Android Development] HawaiianJohn:
Titanium Backup is your friend! :D
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ThurstonX:
Unless I'm gravely mistaken, you need to have the stock recovery in order to get the OTA update to install.

*** PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong ***

That said, you should be able to flash the stock recovery and then, assuming no other system files have been altered, install the OTA via Google.

I ended up flashing the OTA zip file via TWRP, since it wasn't showing as available on my Nexus 7. Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper preserved root just fine, but I had to reflash TWRP after updating. Not sure why, but no biggie. See this thread NB: this is for the WiFi model, not the 3G. That may be available, too, if you need it.

A couple things to note:

1. after updating to 4.2.2, you will need to patch the .exe and .dll files for Wug's kit. See the OP and/or his web site for a link to the updated SDK files.

2. You should make backups before doing this, if you don't have recent ones done (NANDROID, apps + data, files), just in case.

HTH.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] wtek:
Thanks for replying. I have the wifi model also. I had already downloaded the zip file for 4.2.2 from the link you provided. The reason it wasn't installing was because of the "debuggerd" file in /system/bin file (after researching it supposed to related to stickmount - which I do have). I replaced debuggerd from this link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2145265 and needed to "install root browser lite" app from the playstore because ES Explorer wouldn't let me paste in /system/bin/....I was then was able to update to 4.2.2 via ClockworkMod Recovery? (via Power button and Volume Down) ....I'm really bad at this now...feel lost and clueless and I think fluked my way through again....not sure if I have any issues I need to fix. But I'll do the Wug's kit patching which I read earlier and kind of understand whats going on there. I seriously need to brush up and learn the terminology and how these various tools work! :confused:

With the Nexus Root Toolkit v1.6.2 I rooted my stock Nexus 7 with Android 4.1.2.

Since a few days here in the Netherlands an OTA update to Android 4.2.2. is available.

On my stock-rooted Nexus 7 I could install 4.2.2. without any problem.

I had a problem after the update, because root acces was no longer possible.

But apps and data were not touched. Everything works like before the update (accept superuser :confused:)

I recommend everyone with a rooted Nexus 7 to use Voodoo OTA rootkeeper BEFORE updating Android to version 4.2.2.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ThurstonX:
That's great, but were you running a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP? It's no problem applying an OTA on a rooted device, though as noted everywhere, it's a good idea to use Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper to save a lot of hassle after updating. I assume by "stock-rooted Nexus 7" you mean that recovery was also stock when you took the OTA update.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] NLBeev:
For me 'stock-rooted' means that the device is only rooted with the toolkit v1.6.2. No files or rom flashed.

When I start the rooted Nexus in fastboot mode the following is displayed:
