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

I updated about 7 files in SDK manager, everything it showed as having an update. I kind of gave up and had to go with another root method. I'll tell you guys, you get a whole new appreciation for wugs toolkit when you use others.... nothing like wug! Thanks for the tips, fmedrano!

---------- Post added at 06:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:44 PM ----------

I ended up going with another root method due to getting frustrated with updating files, drivers, blah blah blah. But I do think I uninstalled all USB drivers, whether I did that first I don't remember, I obviously was doing something wrong. Thanks for your help though.

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

So I'm reading that I can temporarily un root, update, root again (vodoo app) all without a computer.

I don't have access to one at moment so before I do this I'm confirming with you guys.

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

Had the same offline error but I didn't uninstall anything, just updated in sdk to rev 20.0 , closed the manager and checked for updates again rev 21.1 showed up. Updated to that, replace files in data folder with files provided in zip from earlier post and worked just as it did when rooting 4.2.1.

My connection problems in 4.2.2 were resolved by doing what was suggested in the official site (http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/).

"IMPORTANT NOTICE: Yes, I am aware that this isn’t working on 4.2.2 right now. This will be fixed in v1.6.3 which will be released ASAP (within a few days or sooner if possible). As a temporary fix you can replace the old adb/fastboot/dll files in the toolkits /data directory with the new ones: new_adb_and_fastboot.zip just download that zip and extract/unzip its contents into the toolkits /data directory and agree to overwrite those files, then proceed to use “Any Build” mode to perform subsequent operations like rooting. Again, this is just a temporary fix for those who are impatient. "

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

Yes and no! As long as your device is completely stock and only rooted then this method should work, anything changed, twrp etc. then probably not. Probably best if you wait till you have access to your computer before trying.

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

What I did was to go back to stock 4.1.2 using this toolkit, then updated the nexus 7 via OTA to 4.2.2 and then just root it using cf-auto-root from chainfire and that's it. Piece of cake! I'm now on stock 4.2.2 and rooted.

But I need to ask you guys one favor... Could please someone who has already updated their nexus 7 (grouper/wifi only) to 4.2.2 take a picture (with a phone or something handy) of the bootloader/fastboot screen and post it here? I need to check something if that is not so much trouble... :rolleyes:

Thanks a lot in advance!

The OTA update will fail if any of the files to be patched by the update has been modified. One such file is /system/bin/debuggerd which was modified purportedly by the Stickmount app, causing the update failure for many folks (myself included); see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2148889 for more info. In these situations, you'll have to restore the original copy of the modified file, or simply restore the N7 to stock, before taking the update.

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

I backed up apps and data with this before rooting. Can I just restore them now over a custom rom?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] LucentBirch:
Can't even connect through ADB

Whenever I uninstall the "Nexus 7" drivers, it always re-installs right after I delete it, but it never gets recognized as an adb device. Whenever I try updating the drivers my device always becomes Android Composite adb device, and is not recognized. Installing RAW drivers never works, it always labels it as a "Samsung" device. What do I need to do?

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

Hello, I need some help. I have to return my N10 today, as it's my last day to return it.

I'm trying to downgrade to the stock ROM with Wug's Root Toolkit. I chose the option, "Back to Stock" -> "Flash Stock + Unroot", "Device is on/normal".

Everything seems to be going well, until when I get to the part where it says, "Booting up your freshly flashed stock device". But nothing happened. The Nexus is still in the bootloader with the android's chest open and the box with the option to START.

The toolkit itself couldn't download the stock ROM because it doesn't exist on the site. So I downloaded it from another site and in the toolkit chose that ".tar" image file. The MD5 was a match, so I don't know why it's not working.

What can I do? Like I said, it has to go in today.

Thanks.

---------- Post added at 10:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:05 PM ----------

I should add that I'm not using a modified rom. I am on Android version 4.2.2, that I upgraded to with this Root Toolkit. Do I even have to downgrade my rom? Can I just unroot and OEM lock it? (I also want to wipe the data clean before taking it in.)

---------- Post added at 11:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:28 PM ----------

Actually I just found out it has to go back tomorrow. I thought it was two weeks, but a call to the store said 15 days. So hopefully I can get some help by tomorrow.

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

You dnt need to downgrade if you're using stock ROM..

Just unroot, flash stock recovery, wipe data, and lock bootloader and you're good to go...

Can i get some help please. I wont be able to read thru all these pages to get my answer. So i am unlocking my verizon galaxy nexus for the first. I installed the toolkit. I have my drivers, etc. When i choose unlock, i get a message saying no bootloader is installed. Did i miss a step? How can i install the bootloader? Should i download TWRP or CWM, then in NRT choose Launch, Boot/Flash Image, Flash, Bootloader and select the file (where do i get this file from?) and then after that step, what next? I think after this, i will be good enough to go on my own. Thanks for the help

EDIT. Yep, i answered my own question. Got it to install the bootloader. If i have more questions, i will come back.

Need a little help after 4.2.2

I had used this previously and my Nexus 7 (32GB Wifi) was unlocked and rooted stock without installing a custom recovery. I *thought* I had at least one app on here that would keep root, but I forgot anyway and updated to 4.2.2. So, now I'm still unlocked, but not rooted anymore.

I went and grabbed the new zip file and put it in the tools directory. Now, I'm thinking I can just go to the 'root' step in the toolkit. But I wanted to do a quick backup first. Now I run into issues. I decide to run the driver test and everything is cool right up until the part where it tries to reboot into the bootloader mode and fails.

And here I'm stuck. What is the step that I am missing? I set it to any build, but still nothing stuck in the same spot.

Any ideas?

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

The bootloader needs a different driver. You need to install 2 drivers. One for 'normal' connection and a driver for the bootloader.

If i chose 4.2.1 would that root if i am on 4.2.2
[Nexus 7 Android Development] fmedrano1977:
Worked for me. I didn't change anything from previous options when I used it to unlock and root 4.2.1. Just needed to update sdk and replaced the files with those of that zip provided in a previous post and proceeded to root as I did with 4.2.1.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] NiteTrekker:
I made the mistake of applying the 4.2.2 update to my rooted Nexus 7. Update went fine but I lost root so I tried using Wug's Root Toolkit to fix it.

I had a problem getting the drivers installed properly. I was using a USB cable from my Samsung Galaxy S III, didn't think it would matter. Once I switched to the Nexus 7 cable, it worked fine. For some reason I was also having a problem extracting the files to the toolkits/data directory and overwriting the old ones. I was using 7 zip and for some reason it wasn't working. I had to delete the originals and copy and paste the new ones.

Once I did that, it took just a few minutes to re-root without losing a thing. :o

No worries, I ended up figuring it out. I have a Gnex too so this was confusing me even more cause I was like "I dont wanna uninstall those drivers!" lol I think most people are having trouble with all that driver stuff. Just gotta explain more detailed about what exact folder we need to extract this toolkit to and make the whole uninstalling/installing driver process a little more clear. But regardless, great job and I appreciate it. I cant complain too much cause its my own fault for being "lazy"

thanks for your timely replies WugFresh. Too late now but looking forward to using your tool tomorrow morning :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] FiveOhFour:
Just for the suggestions box, is there an easy way to add a a prompt to the adb check similar to like there is later for fastbook checking, to where if it doesnt get a reply in 15 seconds or so it can give you a dialog box explaining that there is no connection found, the culprit is likely the driver installation but click "try again" to try again, instead of just hanging there, i think for some users if they have to hit ctrl+alt+delete then they are already out of their comfort zone, i realize many would say well then they shouldnt be doing this but what you are accomplishing with this tool is essentially just that, letting anyone root
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
There is a prompt for the adb check and it's coded almost the exact same way as the fastboot check. That is why I am going crazy. Try running the toolkit with your device completely disconnected and you will see what I am talking about.

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 7 Android Development] FiveOhFour:
I just ran the Unlock function from the toolkit with nothing plugged in, not even the cable and it stays with the Checking ADB status, maybe add a cancel, restart button? interesting though so the code is working for fastboot but not this huh?

My old lady jacked off my drivers.

Wug kit fixed it without my having to stay up all night trying to manually figure it out.

Thanks wug this kit is beyond great!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
That is weird. Thank you for the confirmation on that. I will investigate this tomorrow when I code v1.5.3. I am confident that I will come up with a fix.

As of now, the to-do list is as follows:

- Figure out what's going on with the adb check for some people and fix it

- Re-do the manual driver guide.

- Integrate both the 32bit and 64bit drivers into the guide but selectively point to the correct one based on the users system architecture.

- Go over the downloader again to make sure it works when the toolkit is installed to a path with spaces in it

- Add a reboot to recovery button in quick tools.

- Integrate the official CWM

- Use SuperSU 0.94 for rooting all the devices, and remove the old Superuser for ICS devices.

- Build an in-app toolkit updater and notification feature, governed by user choice in the options menu.

- Add code to prevent multiple instances of the toolkit running.

- list the new JRO03D build

- Minor fixes, a few other feature ideas I have if I get around to it in time, and any other innovations I think of as I am coding.

That's a pretty good sized plate for this next release I think.. so wish me luck. It's gonna be another coding bender for me. :D

Thanks wug just flashed the new cwm, a question here for wug or anybody else after flashing it seems that still the only way to get into cwm is through an app.

I go into the bootloader screen (I think it is the correct term, sorry if I`am using the wrong terminiolgy, green robot and then then the arrow in the top right which toggles to start, recovery, bootloader etc)

I use the volume keys to go to recovery and it gives me google with the lock which is unlocked and stays on that screen and never goes into cwm.

I then do a long press on the power button to reboot the N7. Only way I get into cwm is through rom manager or the tool. The tool gives me the cwm 5.8.0.2 as opposed to the new on I just flashed 6.0.0.6 which rom manager

boots into.

Sorry for the long post, just a little confused, cwm is an important tool so how can I get into it manually if I ever need to???? :o

I wish I could say the same, but I cannot get it to unlock. :crying: I get an error about adb not being there.

Here are my details.

Using Nexus Root Toolkit v1.6.3 freshly downloaded

PC is a Windows 7 64 bit i7

Nexus 7 wifi with 4.2.2

Set it for nexus 7 wifi and 4.2.2

It downloaded all the software it needed. I repeatedly gave it permission to download till it said all was uptodate.

My nexus 7 has usb debugging selected.

Connected with usb cable to laptop which recognized it and open the popup asking me what to do with it. I selected open to browse files and copied all to my laptop.

Clicked on "unlock".

a) It said I could get into the bootloader screen if with the nexus completely powered up I pressed and held the volume button with the power button. I did that but none of the options were what the instructions asked for. All I got is a choice between

- start

- restart bootloader

- recovery mode

- power off

So since it said it could get me into the boot loader screen if the Nexus was on, I powered up the nexus, made sure usb debugging was selected, and asked it to do it. But it could not and stopped with instructions.

I moved the usb to a different usb2 port: same thing.

Something about the adb missing or something like that.

I must be doing something wrong. Fortunately the nexus still works..... but I am scared!

I also carefully studied the instructions on http://www.androidnz.net/2012/07/how-to-root-your-nexus-7.html

I did not do these 2 (SDK) from that page because I do not know what they are and the instructions were about a early version of the toolkit and I was not sure:

Install the Android SDK from here. Please note if you are already an SDK user that the Google USB drivers in the SDK have updated with the release of the Nexus 7 and Jelly Bean and you should update your drivers from within the SDK itself

Install the universal drivers from this post at XDA-Developers, but please make note of how you will need to adjust fastboot commands if you are using these drivers​

Went back and this time clicked on Initial setup. Opened my device manager (the script could not do it) tried to update the driver for the nexus but windows could not find any. So I am stuck.

Would greatly appreciate advice on how to proceed next.

(Incidentally, before starting I clicked on the backup button on the toolkit, but that just hung so I rebooted the PC to get out of it.

Re: [Toolkit] Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit v1.6.3 [Updated 02/24/13]

Check the drivers. Connect the device while in fast boot mode and check device manager on your pc. It's not unusual to have to install the drivers separately for each mode.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] Anderson2:
Thank you so much for helping. I worked on this for 2.5 hours yesterday night and finally gave up around 1 am.

What is fastboot mode and how do I get to it? When I connected the nexus Windows tried to install drivers and failed.

The device manager on the Windows laptop does indeed show that the nexus device are not installed. But when I ask Windows to update the drivers it cannot find the drivers either online or on my computer. How do I get the proper drivers?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Leonhan:
You can get to fastboot mode by powering off your device and pressing volume down+power button.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Anderson2:
Restored my laptop to a earlier time.

Connected the nexus and on the second try the usb device drivers install was successful and Windows device Manager showed devices properly installed.

Installed the toolkit again, allowed it to do everything it wanted to download and got the message that all its files were uptodate.

Clicked on "unlock" -> checking ADB .> but got the error message that adb files not found which is what was the problem all along.

moved the usb connection to another usb2 port.

No improvement.

(My windows firewall is turned off).

Tried unlock several more times without success.

I obviously need to install the ADB files but don't know where to get them.
