Didn't work for me...tried what you said but still getting same error as above...Does Mark read any of this? There are some other bugs in the new unified toolkit for Nexus 7...where do we report defects?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] KingPrincess:
My tablet's all pooped up too. I'm trying to go back to stock and getting "an error occured" etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc.

UPDATE: Wug's toolkit seems to have fixed everything. I shoulda donated to him!

hi mark,i donated to unlock the pro version of your toolkit and my activation code says its not correct..thanks..

Just wanted to thank you for making the nexus 7 [2012] tool kit. my device had a corrupted bootloader, but using your software i was able to flash the factory image back to the device and now it is working again.

your hardwork is greatly appreciated

Does this software still work/ does it cover Nexus 2013 LTE (UK) edition?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ameinild:
You need the Nexus 7 (2013) edition, which is included in the Unified Toolkit. And yes, it very much works, in some cases you might need to find updated files yourself (recovery for instance), but as an XDA user this shouldn't be far out of reach for any user of this toolkit.

Hi. I have the same problem .. how did you do it ?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] mskip:
Just select the Download section in the main menu then download the factory image and flash it via the toolkit. Everything is automatic and you are guided through each step so you know exactly what is going on.

Hi All,

I had the same problem than some of us : when trying to flash the KRT16S, I had an error : invalidState.

my tablet had some issue, and I would like to clean it, using the recovery mode, which was broken after the official update.

I found a trick to do the flash properly.

if you want to flash a 4.4.2 (KOT49H) android on Nexus 7 [2012], and have the "toolkit" script returning "invalidState" when flash starts

try to do the following :

1°) I used the latest tookit, downloaded today (15th April 2014) from here (forst post)

2°) I downloaded, from google itself, the : 4.4 (KRT16S)

https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#nakasijdq39

I got the "Factory Images "nakasi" for Nexus 7 (Wi-Fi)"

3°) after downloaded the file (.tgz) I put it in the subfolder C:\Unified_Android_ToolKit\backups

4°) I used the option 9 : download and extract ...

5°) I used the option 3 : Flash previously downloaded...

6°) I enter the file name, and followed the question after that step.

here, everything is properly installed, which is not the case, with the 4.4.2 (KOT49H)

7°) I setup properly the 4.4 android, entering my google account, setting my wifi etc... until I am on the main screen

8°) I rebooted in recovery mode :

swithc off the tablet

press power and volume down.

when the green android appear : press vol down, vol down : recovery mode is shown on red color.

press power and vol up.

you are in recovery mode.

now this is working fine.

9°)reboot the tablet,

go in :

Parameters, About, System update.

the 4.4.2 is proposed as an update and the download is started (you can see a blue line under the title : Android 4.4.2 Update)

10°) do the update.

it will restart itself the tablet, and install the update.

check that there is no error shown during the update.

11°) after the reboot, check in parameters, the android software number

you should have now a clean install of the latest android on your tablet.

hope this help

Root without wipe?

Ehm, this tool won't give me the chance to root my device without having to wipe it, will it?

Does the toolkit support 4.4.3? I was running it earlier and noticed it only had 4.4.2 listed.its been about a year and a half since I've had a nexus 7.

Yep, updated my Nexus 7 2012 yesterday to 4.4.3 (as OTA update won't instally properly after download and reboot to TWRP... at least in my case it didn't).

Hello,

Android 5 is coming, do you think there will be an update of this great soft?

thank you
[Nexus 7 Android Development] mskip:
This is probably the biggest update I have ever done as I had to update every supported device (19 and counting now) for the new Toolkit base.

Nexus 6 and Nexus 9 devices have been added to the UAT family and ALL devices have been updated to support the latest available builds and there is a new option for Pro users to root ANY build.

Loads of things have been tweaked, fine tuned or re-written to make them work better, I couldn’t possibly list everything that has been done on this version but I have been working til about 4am every night for the last week to get it finished as soon as possible.

A large amount of the procedures rely on TWRP openrecoveryscript to automatically flash zip files and I have decided (for now) to stick with TWRP 2.7 as there seem to be problems with adb on 2.8. When I know this is fully fixed I will start updating all devices to the latest TWRP versions.

As usual EVERYTHING has detailed instructions included so if you aren’t sure what an option does then just select it and read. New options in the Backups section and Rooting section, and more options added to the rooting procedure including using SuperSU Beta if desired.

It would take me 2 months to check absolutely everything (build options, model file downloads, recovery download) so if anyone spots ANYTHING please let me know as soon as possible so it can be fixed.

I would advise Pro users to download the full version from the link below as it will take me a few days to create the AutoUpdate files for every device. Existing codes will of course still work and if you install to the same folder as it was in before then pro features should automatically be activated at startup.

Now this is out I will start working on adding the Galaxy Note4, Galaxy Tab S (both sizes) and Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition. These should be done and added within a week hopefully as im busy with family commitments over christmas so will only be able to work nights for a few weeks.

Enjoy.

Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4

Been a while since visiting this thread. Testifies to how well the Toolkit works.

Picked up a Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 recently, and had to read for a while about rooting etc. Seems at some point Samsung built something called Knox into the system with a hardware "fuse" thing in a chip inside the GTP8.4. Not wanting to void warranty if at all possible, some searching came up with a somewhat manual but quite easy workaround for safely rooting this device.

After flashing earlier kernel, running TowelRoot, flashing original kernel back, rebooting, checking status etc., all is well with Knox, and GTP is happily rooted.

From what I've read, flashing custom recovery isn't a good idea, even though I miss the convenience.

Does the Toolkit support the GTP8.4, and if so, are there any advantages to using it with this device?

Cheers

[Nexus 7 Android Development] duckredbeard:
Skip: I know this is off topic, but the other thread seems to be dead. I used your toolkit to root and install TWRP on my wife's GS3. I would like to update the TWRP so I can do a backup (keeps failing) so I can update her ROM (Likewise). When I use the toolkit it only goes up to 4.3.0. She is running a 4.4.4 ROM. Will the 1.3.3 toolkit successfully update her recovery?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] gyuri_kiss:
no luck running the update

First of all apologies for doubling the post but no one seem to be active on the n4 part so I'm trying here now......

Hi,

Pro version user here. I have trouble running the update. I have not had any problem so far, but after updating to 1.3.3 the toolkit does not run. Starts the shell up and hanging there. I have now tried it on 2 different computers and got the same result. I might be missing something? both trial comps are windows 7 64 bit.

I have also tried compatibility mode but no luck there either. Is it just me who is having trouble?

All help would be appreciated.

I'm using Unified_Android_Toolkit_v1.3.3 and trying to flash the nakasi-lrx22g-factory-2291c36b.tgz (L 5.0.2?) on my nakasi device, somehow this error happens despite multiple tries. almost half a year ago i think i've used Google_Nexus_7_ToolKit_v5.0.0 or Unified_Android_Toolkit_v1.2.0 to flash 4.4.2 on the same device and it was successful.

Is the new toolkit of factory image the problem?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] mskip:
The google image on the google download site is faulty, flashing the bootloader causes your problem. I have repacked the 5.0.2 image with a fixed bootloader which works perfectly.

The latest device module for the Nexus 7 2012 model has full 5.0.2 support and can download/flash/root without any problems. Pro users can autoupdate to the latest version but if you want the fixed google image for 5.0.2 you can download it from http://www.skipsoft.net/?wpdmpro=nexus-7-wifi-2012-nakasi-android-5-0-2-lrx22g-fixed and flash it as normal via the Toolkit. IF you do not have the latest device module version you will get an unknown md5 check error but you can carry on and flash.

TOOLKIT UPDATE

-New functions added to the root section [new rooting options for root and unroot],

-More text added to various sections,

-Text added to the Factory Image Download/Flash section to help recovery from a bootloop/device not booting properly,

-Fixed apps backup routine not starting when selected,

-Fixed push/pull and sdcard backup routines for Lollipop as Android 5 has problems communicating with the sdcard without root,

-Fixed the unroot zip file and added stock recovery to the routine to make the device fully compatible with OTA updates,

-OTA Updates can be sideloaded via stock recovery using the Toolkit (unroot first though),

-Toolkit always updates to latest SuperSU version from Chainfire.

I will push AutoUpdates for all Nexus devices within the next few days to make it easier to update but for users without the Pro Version (I urge you to donate if you use it/like my work as I won't be able to keep it going much longer without your support) you can do the following:

In the Tools folder delete the tkmainNexus7.exe file (this will trigger new device files to be downloaded at startup)

Download the updated unroot zip file from http://skipsoft.net/download/fileupdates/Unroot-UninstallBusybox-CwmManager.zip and move it to the root folder (overwriting the original)

Start the Toolkit, select your device and enjoy.

I am currently working on adding a OnePlus One Toolkit device module. Once that is finished I will build a new Toolkit and you will be notified on startup that a new version is ready to download directly via the Toolkit (if using UAT base 1.3.3 or later).

If anything doesn't work properly please let me know in the thread or at toolkit.support@skipsoft.net so it can be fixed. I do test as much as I can on most devices but i'm not perfect

UPDATE TO DEVICE MODULE FILES

I have updated the device module to add new support and updates to the main toolkit, If you have installed the Toolkit in the last few days then you will already have these new files but if not you can easily update these new files:

Just go in to the tools folder and delete the config*.exe file (where * is your device name, eg nexus5, nexus6, nexus7, nexus10). Run the Toolkit and select the device from the list and new device module files will be downloaded.

You can go to http://www.skipsoft.net/?page_id=1203 to check what support is available for your device.

I am now working on adding 5.1 support (with automation for downloading/flashing the stock image to your device) and this should be available in the next 2 days.

AutoUpdate available for Nexus 7 [2012 edition] Toolkit module

+Added FULL support [including root] up to Android 5.1.0 LMY47D

+Added Android 5.1.0 LMY47D stock image to Download/Flash section

+Download, Flash and root up to 5.1.0 LMY47D directly from the Toolkit

+Fixed unroot zip file and added stock recovery to unroot routine for OTA updates

+Updated TWRP recovery to latest version [for booting/flashing to device]

+Separate [older] TWRP with working adb for sideload/openrecoveryscript use in Toolkit

+Updated Tar Creator procedure to Auto Detect image types and convert all at once

+Updated burrows apps Root Checker app [installed via Toolkit] to v3.73

+Updated mdroidapps Easy Backup/Restore app [installed via Toolkit] to v4.10

+Updated wanam efs backup/restore app [installed via Toolkit] to v1.40

+Updated Busybox free installer by Stephen Erickson to v27

The main change with this update is that I have separated TWRP that the Toolkit uses in to 2 versions. The version that can be booted to [temp] or flashed to [perm] the device will always be the latest version available. Another version of TWRP is used for any adb operations within the Toolkit. The Android Unified Toolkit needs working adb function in Recovery for the Auto Root scripts as well as adb sideloading and some newer versions of TWRP have problems with adb so an older version needed to be used. Splitting the 2 types means I can bring back regular updates of TWRP (when released by TeamWin) while knowing that all Recovery functions will still work.

You can download the Unified Android Toolkit from http://www.skipsoft.net/?p=1660

I will update the public modules as soon as possible (probably when the next full version is built).

Android M Apps&Data Restore Error

So true, this tool gets used regularly here and get better each revision.

Today I decided to backup my Nexus 7 Grouper which many different flavours of 5.x ruined so that I can install Marshmallow. Same procedure followed each previous occasion when installing a new ROM - create backup of apps & data, wipe according to Dev's instructions, restore, but this time when I went to restore my backup I received the following error

adb: unable to connect for restore: device unauthorized.

This adbd's $ADB_VENDOR_KEYS is not set; try 'adb kill-server' if that seems wrong.

Otherwise check for a confirmation dialog on your device.

No confirmation dialogue appeared on the device and I wasn't able to issue the adb kill-server command successfully.

I'm managing to work around it by manually installing each app, but that's rather tedious! :o

I know this error is my own making by attempting something the tool is not (yet) ready for but I hope this info can assist Mark in refining his awesome toolkit for those of us who still see value in this great little device.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ClintE1956:
You might try another USB cable or port on your PC; I've had many strange connection problems (files transfer fine, but certain commands won't work at all) and when I changed cable or port, everything worked again.

I think my grouper is bricked, but I can't seem to get a definitive answer about this. Running AICP 5.1.1 rom (you might want to give this a try, as I have not found any other rom that even comes close to features and performance for grouper and Sprint GS3) & TWRP, device went into bootloop, stopping and restarting at the point where the boot animation dims. Bootloader and TWRP run fine, but I can't seem to write to *any* partition, or erase or flash them either. Fastboot commands return successful, but nothing changes on the partitions no matter what I try. A couple of files won't stat in TWRP, so no nandroid backups since that started, but the tab worked fine for quite a while after that issue showed up.

I would sure love to see this N7 resurrected, as it's one of the best little tabs I've ever used. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] yrp888:
I learned yesterday that the ADB error is actually something to do with that particular ROM, so no need for Mark to investigate that further.

Not sure if this could help you but I ended up deleting the cache & data partitions and reformatting to EXT4 (previously F2FS). For some weird reason during attempting to install a ROM TWRP couldn't wipe the data partition because one folder was somehow "locked". Removing and repartitioning solved that for me. I discovered I could recopy the ROM install files while in Recovery using drag & drop as the tab remained connected as an MTP device, so that made it a simple decision to remove and reformat the partitions.

So far I've been less than happy with the few LP ROMs I've tried for their random sluggishness despite the various Dev Option tricks suggested. Installing KK has proved that the Nexus 7 still is a really good tablet!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ClintE1956:
How did you remove and repartition?

Yes, the N7 is a great little tab, I'm hoping this one isn't bricked. Works great for most games and excellent for reading, which has been the primary use for it. If I get some type of answer about this issue that proves it is, I can't see spending $50 to replace the motherboard; better to get something with at least 2GB RAM.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] yrp888:
In TWRP under Wipe, went into Advanced Wipe, tick which partition you want to work with then hit Repair or Change FS. In there you get the option to Change FS.

Be warned though, when you wipe the Data partition you will need to recopy the installation ZIP files from your PC back to the newly erased partition. So before you do the wipe, while in TWRP please do a test copy of some files using Windows Explorer with your Nx7 connected as MTP (that's how I did it) to satisfy yourself you can do the copy successfully after the wipe. Probably the push files command in this Toolkit will do the same. I can't remember now but I think I skipped that method because I was getting the ADB errors.

This isn't a plug, but can I say that SlimKat 4.4.4 has returned this tab back into the great little tab I remember before Google "upgraded" it to JB. No lags, really snappy, <50% RAM usage with 13 services, and it appears to have great battery life despite being the original 3YO battery.

I think my ROM search is over but I'll know for sure after a few months of testing. The only peculiarities were I flashed SuperSU manually (my fault for not RTFM), and the DPI setting wasn't correct (??) but I was able to easily reset that with a free app from the Play Store. Once that was done, all good! I also disabled journaling in Ext4, read somewhere that helps too.

My usage for that tab is even more basic - I read Play Newsstand, check stockmarket apps, look at weather forecasts, and check my emails. That's all. You'd think that JB and M could handle that but no.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ClintE1956:
I've tried everything I can find using TWRP and fastboot, including changing partition type and formatting /data. I just can't seem to get anyone to respond as to whether there is anything else that can be done for this device. None of the partitions can be wiped, formatted, or change filesystem. Also, files can be copied from the device using MTP and copying to it results in reported success but nothing is actually written. :(

Battery life is still great, buttons work, screen is flawless, always been in leather case, not a scratch on it, looks brand new. It's just not worth putting $50 or so into a new motherboard kit. Anyone need a 2012 wifi N7 for parts?
