Hi, this is my first time using your toolkit. I donated, and I'm trying to get to the main menu to enter the activation code. So I downloaded the files you provided in the link and copied them over, because I am now running 4.2.2. However, when it asks for my current version, it only goes up to 4.2.1. Can I just select 4.2.1 and it'll work even though it's 4.2.2, or do I have to wait for 4.2.2 to be listed there?

Edit, also:

What root option would be best for me? I am using CWM, and plan to use a custom rom for faster performance. I don't really understand any of these option as I'm a noob. See my attachment. Thank you!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] mahsmahs:
Hello mskip

1- How can i donate? after donate i should sent you transaction ID and you give me a New ToolKit?

2- i should donate for each version? or one time for always?

3- i am from Pakistan. i am poor. if i donate 1$ i can auto update my version? what's minimum of donate?

PLEASE ANSWER MY QUESTION.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] mahsmahs:
1- I cant find, how much is minimum of Donate?

2- whats is better way for donate? from your Toolkit or from your donate link at XDA forum?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] stephenw10:
Ha! That was so worth the donation.

Android 4.2.2 is not listed in V4.3.2 of the Toolkit, after you have auto updated. I selected 4.2.1 and it worked great.

Thanks. :)

It's such a pain to look for the latest update if you want it fast, but yeah, this is definitely worth the donate to activate auto-update.

This toolkit was the easiest way to root any device I ever had.. After rooting..OTA downloaded 4.2.2 I checked the keep ROOT after OTA in SU...well that didn't work.. luckily I had the su flash file on my device and was able to flash and get root back. Thankyou for creating this toolbox ...:)

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

Ok, I managed to get on 4.2.2 with near zero effort thanks this toolkit, CWM and the ROM manager app.

Heres what I had:

Wi-Fi model (nakasi )

JOB40D build (4.2.1) rooted with this toolkit + Francos nightly kernel

A post-rooting full NANDROID backup (I call this stockback).

Got the Nakasi JOB40D to JDQ39 update zip from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=37932794

Used ROM manager to boot into CWM and backup my current config.

Used advance restore from CWM to restore boot and system from my stockback.

Used install from zip feature of CWM to install the update zip. Installs without errors (especially since system was pure stock).

CWM detects your recovery will be flashed over and prompts you to prevent this from happening (choose YES here). It will also warn you about loss of root and prompts to prevent it (again, YES).

Wipe cache.

Reboot.

Welcome to 4.2.2 :)

What I now have:

Root intact

CWM recovery intact

My data intact

Build JDQ39 Android 4.2.2

Good time to take a full NANDROID backup and Mark it as my latest stockback, eh?

Sent from my Nexus 7

OTA update

For those with a rooted Stock 4.2.1 it is possible to apply the OTA without issue and retain root. With CMW, when the update shows as available just allow the update to be applied. Once the update has been applied CMW will display a menu to rename the recovery file and then a menu item to restore root.

[How To] Unlock and Root OEM Locked Nexus 7 On 4.2.2

For anyone who's having issues unlocking and rooting their Nexus 7 on 4.2.2, follow this guide. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2147413 The first solution might be a bit complex but it absolutely works. You can try the simple fix on page 3 which includes a patch for Wugfresh's Nexus Root Toolkit to support 4.2.2. I never tried that one so it may or may not work, but the files are supplied by Wugfresh so it's reliable. The first fix on page 1 worked fine for me.

For the most part I use it for the nandriod backup to the PC. I guess i could do it through recovery and copy it, but this is much easier. I manually flashes clockworks and SuperSU. But I donated for automatic updates, its worth it just for that.

NEXUS 7 TOOLKIT AUTO UPDATE V4.3.4 [17TH FEB 2013] AVAILABLE!!

Changelog:

+Added FULL support for yakju/takju 4.2.2 Jelly Bean builds [everything works perfectly]

+Added insecure boot image for 4.2.2 JDQ39 build for Nakasi and Nakasig for more stable operation

+Updated google adb + fastboot files so device can connect on 4.2.2

+Uploaded google stock images for 4.2.2 to goo.im and added links to Toolkit

+Fixed several parts of code and made improvements

+Completely restructured Toolkit code for future Toolkit integration

I tried to get this out as soon as possible for people who are facing problems with 4.2.2 after updating. This update should fix everything and I will be updating all the other Nexus Toolkits over the next day. I can then finally start building the next set of public versions.

[Auto Updates are only accessible if you have donated to the Toolkit project, received an activation code and unlocked the donator 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 donator 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]

Enjoy :)

Hi mskip, I have the assert fail when installing 4.2.2. update. When I use your toolkit to flash Google stock ROM, will it fix the problem?

I can't flash stock ROM.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] Jolest:
Running donation version of toolkit updated to latest version.

On Nexus 7, running Android 4.22 (ParanoidAndroid 3.00).

Issue: Bootloader is still 3.34. Booting the tablet can sometimes take 3-4 tries (it sticks at the unlocked-padlock screen). I don't see any option on the toolkit that says "Flash bootloader".

1. Why is this not an obvious option in the toolkit?

2. How do I update my bootloader to a more recent version (preferably the most current version)?

Based on feedback here ...

... as soon as I got my N7 -> upgraded to 4.2.2 -> went straight through the donation option, to get the right version of toolkit, ran the script, everything appeared ok - but no root after (supersu and my other root-apps (came from other rooted devices, so immediately tested my stuff) - none worked). Anybody else having experienced this?!?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Jolest:
That got it. I'm now running bootloader 4.18 on my Nexus 7.

Downloaded the bootloader image from that thread, double checked the MD5, and then tried to use the toolkit's option 11. "Boot or Flash .img Files to Device" which did not work. (It found the .img file and it looked like it was working, but the bootloader kept rebooting with the old version number.)

I then followed the step by step manual method in the OP of that thread and it worked.

I wish the toolkit could have handled it but I'm glad someone here was able to point me in the right direction.

Thanks! :good:
[Nexus 7 Android Development] netfortius:
Redid the process, including re-locking and unlokcing again - in the script the following is being stated: "...WHEN IT REACHES THE SETUP SCREEN YOU NEED TO COMPLETE IT (IF DONE AFTER UNLOCKING), THEN GOTO SETTINGS, DEVELOPER OPTIONS AND TICK USB DEBUGGING BEFORE CONTINUING THE PROCESS. THE DEVICE WILL THEN REBOOT INTO FASTBOOT MODE TO BOOT THE INSECURE BOOT IMAGE AND CARRY ON TO ROOT."

...well, after having conducted the "setup + settings -> enablement of the USB debugging" nothing happens. The script is is just apparently "Waiting for Device". First time when I ran the script, I thought it was taking too long, so I powered down the device, then forced it back into fastboot, to no availl. This second time I just let it sit, and still nothing. Any ideas?!?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] s33d1ing:
I was able to flash the boot loader using the toolkit. You were using the flash option and not the boot option after selecting the .img right?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] dulyang:
All with Status 7 error is most likely caused by integrating system app into the ROM (using Titanium Backup).

The update will check the integrity of the original ROM along with all the apps.

It will fail if the required version of the apps have changed.

At least that is what happens to mine.

The only resort is to restore the FULL stock 4.2.2 firmware.

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

Wrong. I assumed that flashing the bootloader qualified as a "boot" install, so that was the option I used. Did I misunderstand what those two options were for?

Dude, a question alternately with keeping your OTA update. Apart from the OTA Keeper, if you flash the stock framework-res.apk, will you be able to get an OTA?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ThurstonX:
Rooting requires that you unlock the bootloader, if it is not already unlocked. Unlocking the bootloader will wipe your device. Thus, you will want to back up apps + data, and any files stored BEFORE unlocking.

I STRONGLY recommend doing some googling & reading to understand the basics before you proceed. There are plenty of resources out there. No need to rush, and a little knowledge may save you some grief down the road. That's good advice for ALL noobs, and I speak from experience.

HTH.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] s33d1ing:
I believe boot just temporally flashes it to the device and then flash permanently flashes it. Although I haven't used boot before so i'm not quite sure how it works.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] mskip:
If you use the Toolkit you can only boot a kernel (boot image) or a Recovery Image. Booting an image will only keep it resident until your next reboot.

For a bootloader image you need to FLASH it to the BOOTLOADER partition. If you do it through the Toolkit then it will automatically reboot to fastboot after flashing the image so you can verify it on the fastboot screen.

Mark.

I must be doing something wrong. I've downloaded and installed v4.0.0 and downloaded the 4.2.2.zip and extracted it to the toolkit folder, but when I start toolkit it still doesn't list any 4.2.2 builds. I've looked through the entire thread but can't see anyone else with the same issue...guess I must be a unique kind of stupid!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] twics:
It does not list 4.2.2 build even after you extracted it, but when you connect your nexus the toolkit should say (device) instead of (offline) you can still use build 4.2.1 . to do what you want, I did.

Also make sure USB debugging is turned on, on your nexus.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Snyperx:
What a great toolkit!! I installed the Win 7 drivers as well as the 4.2.2 Toolkit files. I have USB debugging on. When I load the toolkit it shows my serial number under ADB and "offline" next to it. What am I doing wrong? I am at a loss here. Can't get my Nexus to respond to the toolkit at all. The driver under Device Manager shows the Nexus 7 ADB driver. I am on JB 4.2.2. Thanks!!!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ThurstonX:
I believe a couple suggestions are:

1. turn debugging on/off/on/off... etc., until you get the prompt on the N7 to recognize the connected PC.

2. unplug/plug/unplug/plug... etc., the USB cable until you get the prompt.

You should read back a few pages. It's been discussed. Maybe in the "other toolkit" thread, as well.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Leonhan:
That is because you need the new adb.exe for it to be recognized as not offline.

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

Do you already have SDK tools installed? Open up SDK manager it will tell you what files are available for updating(like adb). For 4.2.2, you need to be on latest versions.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] elwilson4:
Check out this link from the OP. It explains what is needed to fix the problem. Once you copy the files to the toolkit's folder you may need to double click both the adb-toolkit and fastboot-toolkit files to force the prompt on your tablet.

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

Thanks for the explanation.

Could you take a look at the text for that operation and maybe use different terms or add another paragraph to avoid someone thinking that the "boot" option is the right one to use for installing a "boot"loader? (I know it's obvious to you, but I'm not exactly a noob and I still got it wrong....)
