ASUS NEXUS 7 TOOLKIT AUTO UPDATE V4.3.9 [24TH MARCH 2013] AVAILABLE!!

Changelog:

+Added MD5 hash checks before flashing for ALL stock images to avoid flashing a bad download

+Added selection to flash Radio images in the Flash Image section (for gsm models)

+Added text to reboot to fastboot option to enable usb debugging in 4.2+ builds

For people who do not want or cannot get the Auto Update versions you can download 4.2.2 from http://goo.im/devs/mskip/stock and flash it via the Toolkit. You can download TWRP 2.4.4.0 from http://goo.im/devs/mskip/recovery/google_nexus7 and flash it via the Toolkit. You can also update the adb/fastboot files for 4.2.2 by downloading http://goo.im/devs/mskip/toolkit/adb_fastboot_files_for_4.2.2.zip and overwriting the files. SuperSU can be updated to the latest version from the app.

[Auto Updates are only accessible if you have donated to the Toolkit project, received an activation code and unlocked the professional features. Auto Updates are a much faster and easier way of pushing small updates that would otherwise not be worth doing. I can push a single textual change or add support for a new build without having to go through the whole process of building a full version and uploading a large file. IF you are not able to or do not want to donate to unlock the Auto Update feature (and other professional features) then all the smaller updates are collated and a full build made when I have time or if there are enough updates to warrant it. This is the easiest way to make sure all the Toolkits are as up to date as possible. IF you have any views about this please pm me about them and do not post in the open thread]

Re: [Google Nexus 7 TOOLKIT V4.0.0] Drivers, Backup, Unlock, Root, CWM, Flash + MUCH

If you look in the sdk platform-tools folder you'll see adb.exe, holding shift then right click open command prompt in that folder. Type adb devices while your tablet is plugged in and debug is on in tablet settings it should show if your connected to debugging software. Then the toolkit should detect it also. If only says offline then toggle the debug setting on the tablet and try it again.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] :
Thanks djdarkknight96, I'll give this a shot!

So I have done this and there are no devices in command prompt. What else can I try?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] haha123:
I'm having a hard time making a backup of the sdcard with this program. The backup starts OK, but after it "finishes", i find it has only pulled a few random folders from the Android/data folder on the sdcard. Does anyone else have this problem? Thanks
[Nexus 7 Android Development] :
Got it working. I set up the driver in sdk folder using help from http://visualgdb.com/tutorials/android/usbdebug/

Are you rooted and did the toolkit reboot your device with an insecure boot image (if not then what version of the toolkit are you using)?

Mark,

didn't want to bug you, but since you posted the update, I've tried multiple times to get it. Every attempt starts with very slow speeds (15 KBps), which quickly drops to 7 KBps or so, and finally stalls. I think the most I got was 22% or so, and that took over an hour.

Anything to be done to speed it up? All previous updates through the toolkit have been quite fast... a matter of seconds; certainly no more than a minute or two. I haven't changed anything on my end, at least nothing of which I'm aware.

Thanks.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] mskip:
I really dont know why downloads slow down like that I have 1 or 2 a day saying the same thing, the only thing I can think of is the server is being hammered. I will call my hoster to see if I can get the bandwidth increased or if they have any suggestions. All I can advise right now is either keep trying and you may get a good connection eventually or email toolkit.support@skipsoft.net and I will send you the link to download the update manually.

Mark.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ThurstonX:
Thanks, Mark.

Just wanted you to be aware of it, in case you weren't. It's not urgent, so I'll try again over the next day or two, and if it's still not coming in, I'll email you.

Cheers.

driver & toolkit code issues

any suggestions very appreciated. I am having some issues here. I cannot get the proper drivers installed to get this whole party started. I donated yesterday, and am waiting for the N7 update code, since my device is running 4.2.2 I believe this to be the reason that the other drivers aren't working, but I am not certain. I was trying to wait until I received the code, so I could update the toolkit & do everything all at once, however I wanna get going with this! I wanna play with my new toy!!! Any suggestions will be extremely helpful. Thanks!

Mark got me the code that I needed, and a short 13.468s later.......GAME ON!!!!!

Thanks, this tool ROCKS!!!! Sure makes life easy. I really appreciate all the time and hard work that you put into thisMark. ThankYou!!!

CHEERS, I'm goin to play! LOL!!!!

Re: [Google Nexus 7 TOOLKIT V4.0.0] Drivers, Backup, Unlock, Root, CWM, Flash + MUCH

Mark, seems to be partial normalized, i just did the update to 4.3.9 at my full speed but sometimes the speed drops for a half, but back to the top speed a few seconds later.

But a few days ago when you released v4.3.5 i had a very slow speed, like 6-7 kbs
[Nexus 7 Android Development] rydog66:
Anybody got any ideas??

As of now I AM unlocked and seem rooted...super su icon is available in my app drawer, TWRPS did not install eventhough it was selected in the installation, ......I'm gonna sleep on it and hit it fresh tomorrow....hopefully with some feedback from y'all.

Thanks again!!

Whenever I have a problem getting a custom recovery to flash correctly, I always do Option 5 (Rename Recovery Restore Files) first, and then it takes. Did you try that?

Good luck!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] NYLimited:
Hey Mark,

Apologies for the redundant question - I have been looking for this info and my brain is finally hurting. :)

Could you kindly point me someplace where I can find out the difference between the Asus Nexus 7 and the Google version? I note you have different toolkits for them but for the life of me I cannot spot the differences.. :crying:

You can install twrp using goo manager instead.:)

Re: [Google Nexus 7 TOOLKIT V4.0.0] Drivers, Backup, Unlock, Root, CWM, Flash + MUCH

That would explain why I couldn't find anything. Didn't Mark release two different versions fir the Asus & Google Nexus 7?

So I see 4.0 available in OP and also on goo.im but also see there is a newer version and the script checks and tells me there is one. I am not a donator so I go to the site to check manually and only see 4.0.

Can't donate using paypal

Hi Mark,

Thanks for all your great work over the years, I have always been an admirer. I wanted to ask if there was anyway to root on 4.2.2 without donating as Paypal does not support my country. If there are any other avenues for donating I would be happy to utilise those also. Thanks.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] mskip:
You can still root using the latest public version just make sure to update the adb/fastboot files using the zip file from post#1 and select the latest build available in the list. The latest version is only available to professional versions of the Toolkit but I will be updating all the public versions soon to bring them up to date.

Mark.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] mskip:
See my above post on how to use the public version with 4.2.2.

I am making some google checkout links for people who cannot use paypal. If you keep checking http://www.skipsoft.net/?page_id=703 I will add the new links to that page when they are made available.

got a problem with my nexus 7. i was running a custom rom but fully wiped when updating but somehow completly wiped all internal sd so when i tried to flash rom i noticed my sd card was completely empty and if i tried rebooting it informed me there was no OS installed. i can access my touch recovery but having issues with my nexus 7 being recognized by my laptop even though i installed drivers it keeps getting the pop ups saying new hardware detected. i have installed the asus usb drivers and drivers thru the toolkit and when in menu it shows my serial.

I had similar experience just 2 days ago...thought I bricked my device, but all is cool. Ithe drivers at this link got me squared away....

[Nexus 7 Android Development] CheopsChefren:
How can I root my Nexus 7 with Android 4.2.2 with this tool, as there is no option in the startmenu of the toolkit for Android 4.2.2

Any advice would be welcome.

Also, when I start the toolkit, it tells me there is a new version, which can only be automatically downloaded if you have the pro-version. But if i look for the "newer" version on this site, all i see is the version i downloaded. How comes? Or is the new version only for pro-users?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Reptilez_DK:
Re: [Google Nexus 7 TOOLKIT V4.0.0] Drivers, Backup, Unlock, Root, CWM, Flash + MUCH

The newer versions require donation. :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] daddyscooltv:
question returning to stock

If I follow these steps :

1. Download, install and run the Google Nexus 7 Toolkit.

2. Install adb/fastboot drivers (if you havent already done so)

3. Option 9 to download a Google Factory Image.

4. After it finishes downloading you will be given the option to flash the image to your tablet. Do this.

4. Let the phone reboot, then shut the tablet down and reenter fastboot mode (or boot to fastboot mode via the Reboot Screen in the ToolKit).

5. Option3, 2 to relock the bootloader.

Your internal storage will be formatted and data and cache wiped. Your tablet will now be back to an out-of-the-box FULLY STOCK state and ready to send back.

Since I don't see 4.2.2 listed in the toolkit for a factory image If I follow the above steps will my Nexus 7 take the OTA to 4.2.2 if I flash the 4.2.1 factory image using the toolkit?

I am going to give my tablet to my daughter and I want it to be just stock..

Thanks in advance

[Nexus 7 Android Development] rydog66:
Re: [Google Nexus 7 TOOLKIT V4.0.0] Drivers, Backup, Unlock, Root, CWM, Flash + MUCH

Yes, 4.2.2 will only show up in the toolbox in pro version, ie donation. Use 4.1.1 after the fast boot update that you did. Ur on the right path. :D
[Nexus 7 Android Development] pav_87:
work fine on windows 8?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] thebozzer:
Gotta drop a note to the developer. Donation sent. Code sent immediatley, updated, unlocked and rooted in 30min on 4.2.2.

Frekkin awesome, thanks!!!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] papaschtroumpf:
I feel like I'm being lied to. The tool says the latest version is 4.3.9 but I can only find downloads for 4.0.0.

It promises I can manually update, but that info is well hidden.

If all really need is 4.0.0, then why constantly do autoupdates?

And I took the OTA to 4.2.2, which doesn't appear in the "select your device version and build" section, so obviously 4.0.0 ia not up to date.

The author is welcome to do whatever, give away or not any version, but please be clear about what you can and can't do with the free version,
[Nexus 7 Android Development] hunnymonster:
He is. You can do everything you need to with the free version plus some (free) manual adjustments (particularly to the version of ADB to make it 4.2.2 compatible) or donate and you're able to do it all without the manual adjustments.

In reality the whole process can be done without the toolkit so you don't even have to use it (free or donate)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] rydog66:
he is correct, it can be done without this toolkit, but this is an amazing collection of things ur gonna need for your N7anyway. I was more than happy to pony up some cheddar and support a dev that took the time to put this together for us to use. The free version gives you EVERYTHING that you need to unlock & root your device. The donation I made gives me access to other features and first crack at the updates (which will ALL be released FOR FREE at some point) It might be a bit confusing, but it does everything it promises, and more.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] skeeterfood:
So, I have a N7 running 4.2.2 that I've never rooted. Got lots of stuff I'd hate to lose, but I'd really like to root it.

Donated and got the pro version all set up, backed up the apps, and then tried to back up the Internal Storage [virtual SD card] and ran into a problem. It seems that on 4.2.2 backing up Internal Storage [virtual SD card] needs to unlock the device before it can back it up. If I'm not mistaken, unlocking the bootloader will wipe the device. So, is there an alternate method to back up my Internal Storage, or am I screwed?

-John
[Nexus 7 Android Development] rydog66:

Any suggestions?? I have also tried to boot or flash .img files with no luck. Please advise!

Thanks!

edit:

Nevermind, I FINALLY got it, I rebooted my computer & that did the trick. I was then able to successfully perform the same operation that I kept getting errors on. Option 11 in the toolkit, perminant .IMG flash of the modified TWRP 2.5.0.0 for Multi-ROM.

I keep having wierd driver issues (the ones thru pda.net site) They work most of the time, because they ARE the correct drivers, but they give me problems, more often than I'm comfortable with. The tablet is recognized in both modes, when booted in Android & when in Bootloader. The serial number is shown in the correct places in the Toolkita, respectively. The issue is that it's like I just described like 90% - 95% or so. The other times, it either doesn't doo anything when I plug in my device. Or an error pops up, down in the bottom right corner of my PC telling me theres some driver issues and reinstall drivers. I don't know what the issue is, It works then it doesn't with NOTHING changing (from what I can tell)!!! If anybody has any advice in reguards to this, PLEASE fill me in, it's drivin me coo coo!!!

you can only update with the donate/pro version, but the free toolkit works just fine & has everything included that you need to unlock ur bootloader & root ur N7. Read the op & some of the postings in this thread & every question that you have has already been addressed here. Welcome!!! This is a fantastic tool & a real helpful thread. Drivers are the part that seems to be tricky for a lot of ppl. I use the ones from the pda.net site.....links in the op. Those drivers work perfectly. Choose the most recent build available in the toolkit....closest to what you are runninig....& follow the instructions. I went ahead and donated, since it's such a bad ass tool. Then you can unlock all the features. I recommend that, but you don't have to. Good luck. It's simple with this tool.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] rnclock:
Located in OP - PLEASE READ THE *FAQ* IN POST#2 BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS --

Located in FAQ (follow link) -

Q. When I try to open the ToolKit I get a box pop up for a split second and then it goes away. My AntiVirus program says the file may be harmful.

The exe files I compiled are not digitally signed with a Microsoft certificate (as they cost money) so certain AntiVirus programs (mainly Norton) will pick it up as potentially harmful when it is not. They will pick up ANY file that doesnt contain a purchased Microsoft certificate in the same way. Restore the deleted file and exclude it from further scans and it will be fine.

FAQ has some good information if your new to this. Hope this helps.
