Hi, I'm a bit of a noob but can someone help me out?

I've unlocked and rooted my Nexus 7, I now want to create a Nandroid... what boxes do I check on the system partition, data partition etc screen? There are so many and I don't know what they all mean....

It's fairly easy to enable DEVELOPER OPTIONS under JB 4.2:

1. As usual, goto Settings -> About Phone.

2. Goto “Build Number” at the end of the Scroll list.

3. Tap on “Build Number” for 7 times. While typing at the third times, you should see prompt message to indicate you that 4 more taps to go to developer options.

4. Continue 4 more taps.

5. You are now done and go back to the Setting page.

6. You should see Developer Option appear on your setting list now.

With Developer Option appeared, you can enable the USB debugging mode for future flashing and development work.

Thanks to theandroidrom.com for this.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Yeah, I actually saw a video on that a little while ago. I will include a dialog for that as soon as I release official support. Speaking of which, if someone could take a nandroid with CWM and send me the boot.img then I could release an update sooner.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Just check them all, you can restore them selectively. Basically the ones that matter are your data and system partition. I could do a write up on what they all really mean though if you want.

I am re-writing and adding to a lot of stuff on my website. I am also actually thinking of just doing a Wiki for NRT.

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 7 Android Development] akhan47:
Thank you, I will check them all this time round just to be on the safe side.

I think some sort of explanation on your website or a wiki would be a real help.

Nexus 10

As the new Nexus 10 is a SAMSUNG build, do you think they will have put their "flash counter" on the device ??

If so, is this going to cause problems with your toolkit ??

TIA.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
I don't think so. Google has some strict specifications on their Nexus program that they require manufacturer to adhere too to benefit from the co-branded initiative.

The device is manufactured by Samsung but remember it carries the Nexus brand. Google wants to keep that brand pure, consistent and restriction free.

Considering the Galaxy Nexus, which is also manufactured by Samsung, doesn't have a flash counter - I have a hard time believing the Nexus 10 will be any different.

All that said, I will tackle future obstacles on a case by case basis, and do my best to ensure the toolkits compatibility with all current and future Nexus devices.

i have a nexus running cyanogenmod 9 (i did not flash it, it came with it), and i want to go back to stock to get jellybean and the latest updates... does this program works for that?? i mean i just have to click in "flash stock+unroot" and everything will be ok ?? lol... im a total noob, please help !
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Mallikanth:
Yes. Ensure you've selected the correct Nexus model type and build and you're good to go.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Heisenberg420:
Love this tool kit. I assumed it couldn't root 4.2 because it wasn't updated today but then I saw someone else saying it worked with 4.2. (Remember to switch build to any). Thanks again!

great tool man, saved me many times! I'm trying to update my 4.1.2 rooted N7 to 4.2 and am getting the following error when installing the 4.2 zip "assert failed: apply_patch_check ("/system/app/GooglePinyinIME.apk)

I googled that apk and its something to do with a chinese keyboard? Had no problem when I updated from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2. What am I doing wrong now?

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: OK, was able to extract that apk back into the system/app folder and updated to 4.2! Then was able to root using the toolkit by choosing "any build". This software is incredible!

Windows 8 fastboot bootloader issue

Starting from an unlocked rooted 4.1.2, I updated N7 to 4.2 by downloading zip and installing in TWRP. N7 is working fine but lost root. Device is still unlocked.

I am running Windows 8 with WUGS 1.5.5 installed. Followed instructions to load new drivers and connected N7 to root. ADB works fine, but reboot in fastboot keeps failing.

WUGS goes through pushing root files and reboots the N7 in bootloader mode, but then fails saying fastboot device not found. At this point the N7 is showing the START option

Can anybody offer any suggestions on how to get past this? I have the model set to Any build.

Thanks in advance..
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Chewy11:
I seem to not be able to run the update script...from 1.5.4 to 1.5.5, after download- it hangs. Windows 7 32 bit. Thanks for the tool!!!, and any ideas before a reinstall.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] TheByteSmasher:
Hey Wug,

FYI superSU updated to 0.9.8 first release attempting to tackle the 4.2 multi-user ability.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] dirtyhamster73:
Just updated my N7 with the Google update to 4.2 and used the toolkit to root...all went well, although it had me do something I've never had to do, it had me select files for twrp to flash....I'm thinking it was because I selected "any build"? Anyway, all went fine :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ohmi_gaad:
Went into file manager on the N7. I can see the files in Ready to Flash folder. Cant get to them to install them however and not sure if I should even be install them.

---------- Post added at 08:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:44 PM ----------

I think I may have inadvertently moved the ready to flash folder also. Does anybody know where it should be located?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ALD3:
It was located on internal storage/sdcard. On 4.1.2, I had to go into recovery and flash the two zip folders manually as tool kit wouldn't finish the job. Just updated to 4.2 but haven't rerooted yet.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ohmi_gaad:
Can you post if it works for you how you got that done. I cant seem to get back root. The N7 however is still unlocked. TWRP sems to have been replaced and I cant root and flash it back on due to the fastboot issue.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] guinnes.s:
would be possible to convert the toolkit to run as a app on android to be able to root other similar devices on the go using a cable between the two??? just wondering
[Nexus 7 Android Development] agung_gitaris86:
i am using this tool to root my nexus 7 4.2 and its work..!!! yeayy!!!!!!!!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] iamelton:
same here win7 32-bit.. actually it finished downloading the update package, but just wouldnt extract and put the update files into place..

thus i simply manually extract the update package, and move the files to respective locations (overriding old versions if needed).. but doing so means that u have to study the directory hierarchy of this toolkit (which should not be too difficult if u r a little more than a casual windows user)..
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
I got a test tomorrow morning in engineering statistics so I am going to be MIA for tonight with questions and stuff.

Just use any build mode for 4.2, and yes I will support the N4 and N10 as soon as the factory image packages become available.

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Solange82200:
Im so not good at this. Im unlocked and rooted on 4.1.2, and I have the update available over OTA. Cant I do it that way, and just reroot after the update? Because when I try to do that, I get a startup screen with the little android guy and an exclamation point, and the update didnt take. I cant seem to find a simple answer to this, Im not saying its not out there, but all I can find is complicated guides for people who either arent getting the OTA, or people who have a custom kernel or whatever it's called... Help? :(

Edit: I ended up just flashing to a stock version of 4.2, screw it. Hopefully Ill be able to restore everything using Titanium, hope it works, never restored with it before...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] gogol:
I downloaded and installed WugFresh 1.5.5 and root my Nexus 7 (Android 4.2 official update, stock recovery).

The rooting process went fine, no error.

Then I started the "SuperSU", it prompted me to update the SuperSU binary "The SU binary needs to be updated. Continue?"

I pressed "Continue".

But, I got error "Installation failed !"

What should I do?

In the SuperSU setting, the version is v0.98.

Thanks.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Mallikanth:
Try this method...

Download the Factory image 4.2 (JOP40C) for the Nexus 7 from here

Save that download in the location where you installed WUGS Toolkit and in the 'data\Factory Images' sub directory.

I'm unsure if you need to do one level of unzipping at this stage. I did as well as leaving the original downloaded file alone.

Make a note of the MD5 Checksum as you'll need it later.

Within the Toolkit, and with your Nexus now connected, change the build to '*.*.* any build'

Now select 'Flash Stock + Unroot'

Select the Factory image you downloaded and when prompted enter the MD5 Checksum.

Let the Toolkit do it's thing

When It's finished go into settings on your Nexus 7 and tap the 'Build Number' 7 times to get Developer options back in Settings.

Turn Developer options On and then tick allow USB Debugging

Back in the Toolkit now select 'Root' and you might as well leave the 'Custom Recovery' tick box selected.

Once again let the Toolkit work it's magic!

Hope this walk through helped!

[Fake edit] Just noticed after writing this that you did a Stock 4.2 install anyway
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Just a quick clarification on your procedure, although I think it will work this way.. there is no need to do the unzipping manually - it might even confuse the toolkit the way I scripted it. If you wan't to flash a factory image package that isn't listed in the flash stock script, just use the "Other/Browse" feature, and the "I downloaded a factory image package myself that I would like to use instead." and then when the file open screen comes up, just select the tar or tgz file, and the toolkit will take care of all the unzipping and whatnot.

.. ok, now back to studying for me :crying:

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Mallikanth:
Personally, I installed the original 0.97 that comes with the Toolkit

First boot into 4.2 I refused the update to SuperSU.

I then started Busybox granting it SU rights when prompted.

Did a manual re-boot and then updated SuperSU to 0.98 and it worked.

Sorry I can't be of more help.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
My guess is that you didn't grant SuperSU superuser permissions, I know it may seem weird but you need to grant itself permissions. Check the logs in SuperSU to make sure it doesn't have a "don't allow" rule for SuperSU. If it does, switch it to allow, or make it prompt you again. If that is not the case, then I recommend just rooting again, then enabling a stable wifi connection before opening Superuser and trying to update.

Cheers.

ok.. now actually back to studying... :crying:

successfully updated to 4.2 via OTA using OTA RootKeeper and I didnt lose root! works like a charm.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ohmi_gaad:
Wug.. Good luck on the exams.. I have the same issue and cannot root as the fastboot fails. Any suggestions?:crying:
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Thank you. That is a different issue entirely.. by "fastboot fails" I am assuming you mean you get a message saying the toolkit can't see your device in fastboot mode. That same screen explains why. Its because you still haven't finished configuring your drivers. You only configured them while on and with usb debugging enabled, not while in fastboot mode. Follow the driver guide starting from the instructions that mention your device being in bootloader mode... Once your drivers are configured, then you can use the toolkit to perform tasks such as rooting.

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ohmi_gaad:
I think I found the problem Wugs, it's called "WIndows 8" I used a windows 7 machine and it ran ok except for the manual running of the ReadyToFlash items. I had to go search for the directory. I am now rooted and back to Wugs land... :laugh: Good luck with the exams

BIG PROBLEM.......need help with the root kit URGENT

I used root kit version 1.5.2 to unlock and root my nexus 7 tablet around the 5th of Oct.....everything went GREAT and I did it on TWO tablets.

Last night I had a notification of the google release for 4.2 and DIDN'T THINK before I did this but I clicked on the download and it updated my tablet! (crying now).

It took my ROOT away...I am still unlocked but NOT rooted. I went to the tool BUT when it wants you to pick the version it is NOT there. I selected NEXUS 7 TABLET but it told me that was not a correct selection.....

I no longer have CWM on the tablet either, if it is there I can't get in. I have a titanium backup but I have to be rooted to use it.

Can someone tell me what to do? Is there a newer version of this root kit?

Thanks

Donna aka gramme

My about now reads:

4.2

kernel version 3.1.10-g22b4fcd

build # JOP40C
[Nexus 7 Android Development] dirtyhamster73:
Just select "any build". I rerooted my N7 after the 4.2 ota no problem, and my GNex. 1.5.5 is the most recent build of this root tool kit.

Worked for me too! awesome
[Nexus 7 Android Development] SteveC485:
Quick question. Does restoring the android backup we did when we first used the toolkit have the same end result that using the option to restore factory and unroot? I was thinking I had done a twrp nandroid on the stock rooted ROM' but I didn't. Thinking about flashing a rooted stock 4.1.2 ROM to try ota root keeper when I thought abut this. I think I got the initial android backup in the tool kit wrong in my head and had it confused with a nandroid, which may explain why it is missing from my Twrp backups.

Once you download that app, you just select "protect root", and then do the OTA update? Thanks!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] IDtheTarget:
Wug, you need to check your files, ASAP.

I just downloaded from the link you put in the OP, and two files showed up in Webroot Anywhere as trojans:

nexwug_file_perm.exe

nexwug_dlnx.exe

I don't know what's going on, but you should check out if goo.im is adding malware to your toolkit.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
False Positives

Interesting, I can assure you they are false positives. I have already talk to Avira and Bitdefender about my program and they have both updated their virus databases to remove the false positives, but the only file they ever flaggeed was the updater. Thanks for letting me know though. I will contact Webroot Anywhere and I am sure they will follow suit and remove the false flags.

Here are reports from Avira:

https://analysis.avira.com/en/status?uniqueid=L1FSChKcKWkNkKkZLq51sgRCCwMFPHG2&incidentid=1307872

The dlnx file is very similar to that wug_updater, so I am guessing its getting flagged for the same reason (unfortunately non of this AV programs actually tell me why they flag it in the first place, so I have no way of correcting it.. just getting them to remove the false flag)

I have no idea (AT ALL) why they would flag the file_perm one though... maybe because of the name? I really don't know.

Eitherway, like I said I will contact them and then report back with the results. But until then, I give you my personal word as a developer, that all these files are entirely clean. As long as your hashvalue of the main installer matches the one I post on my site, then it is the genuine download that I put together.

If you have any further questions let me know.

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
Well if you had a full nandroid with CWM or TWRP or a stock rooted device, then yes, you could totally do it that way. But there is really no point. Since Google released the full 4.2 factory image package directly on their site, you can just update to 4.2 directly using "Flash Stock + Unroot" with the "Other/Browse", then just flash 4.2 directly. No ota needed.

Hi, WugFresh. Having trouble with Nexus 7 Root ToolKit today.

Tried to flash a Rom and it stalled with error Log shows caches were wiped and system wiped box shows zip pushed but is not there. E: failed to mount external storage using internal storage

unable to locate zip file..

Ended up having to restore a Nandroid. When I tried to use the last one I had made it also failed. I had to use an earlier one.

Finally got system back. Downloaded rom directly to phone and used TWRP to flash. Worked fine. It was a 4.2 rom. Then tried to use the toolkit to do a Nandroid backup. Failed. Got stuck during process. Something seems to be broken about the Wugfresh toolkit. Until it is fixed. I will have to find some other way to do a Nandroid I guess.

I have always been a big fan of the NRTK and would like to continue using it. But need to fix it.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] tjhana:
I accidently install 4.2 update on my rooted Nexus 16GB. Now the root is gone, and when i go to recovery mode, i only have red triangle without any option for the recovery....

any chance to restore the root & the recovery ?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WugFresh:
"Something seems to be broken" isn't helpful. Please elaborate on what you mean that something "fails". Sounds like the problem is with your device setup.. You might want to try restoring stock. Your issues may be related to a bad ROM flash. There is no point in doing a nandroid if your devices partitions are corrupted, you are much better off just backing up apps, and restoring them on a fresh stock setup. Considered the toolkit works for many people to perform the same operations, its more likely related to your device, than the toolkit... You can flash recovery manually with fastboot flash "name-of-recovery.img" while you are in bootloadrer mode, or flash it with the toolkit, or boot it.. and then try again in recovery yourself. The operation is fundamentally the same whether you use the toolkit or not.

Guys.....do anyone of you actually follow Wuggie's(yes in my mind I see you as Wuggie) how-to? I got lazy and didn't want to push everything with ADB again so I tried it out, followed all pointers in his root kit and it worked without a hiccup, even when rooting 4.2.

And for jebus sake make sure you have write permissions on the folder your trying to backup on if you are using a win vista+ machine. The majority of the problems people have, at least from what I gather, is on your side not the kit. So start reading those FAQs or you know follow the directions on your screen.
