a shortcut in made to the desktop during installation isn't it?? Anyway, on ur c drive toolkit folder. Inside you find toolkit icon. You can either go there everytime (which I do cuz I don't like a cluttered desktop) or create a shortcut from there to where ever your little heart desires. Do yourself a favor and play with your new toolkit! Check out all the features, personalize it ie, how it starts, font color, etc. and read all you can about it, so you can learn just how much this awesome and powerful tool can do for your N7! Goodluck!!

CHEERS,

Is anyone able to tell me what am I missing here ? I've downloaded the Nexus 7 toolkit, and it tells me that there is an update available

"Current ToolKit [V4.0.0], Latest Available [V4.3.9]"

I've looked high and low but just not finding a link to download the update ?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] slebit:
You need the donate version to be able to update.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] nigeldr:
Thanks
[Nexus 7 Android Development] snapcrackpop:
Are you talking about "22. Device Mods + Special Requests"? Or a custom ROM?

Is there a Youtube video that shows these features?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] rydog66:
option "28" for starters. The op has real great info & the rest of the thread has quite a bit to offer. I have seen some stuff on you tube, but not a ton. I find most info my either hands on experience & messin around with stuff or by reading what ever I can about what ever I'm trying to learn about right then. Have fun & good luck!

Cheers,

Edit: errors
[Nexus 7 Android Development] snapcrackpop:
27. is refresh menu.????

So you must mean "22. Device Mods + Special Requests"? Or a custom ROM?

And you mean YouTube, not ebay, right?

And I did thoroughly try to read the OP, but maybe didn't comprehend or missed something regarding customization .
[Nexus 7 Android Development] rydog66:
Yeah I edited my post sorry
[Nexus 7 Android Development] DoRiLoN:
What does that mean?

EDIT: I managed to boot to fastboot mode locked my bootloader but the second part didnt happen or at least a think so. All my information is on the tablet, when I try to restart to recovery I get an android with exclamation mark?!

Oh yeah and I still have root permissions.

What should I do to et rid of my Super SU?

Yes, just use the option to flash the factory image, which will wipe everything and reset your device.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Warren_Orange:
Can I just use this tool to root and unlock and install a custom recovery even though I have stock 4.2.2. and don't have the donate version?

Will it be safe?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] rydog66:
yes!! just use the most current version available in the free version & you will have no issues. Make sure you have the right drivers installed. That is where everyone has problems. Good luck bud.

Cheers,
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Warren_Orange:
I already have some drivers installed from pdanet for use with my Nexus S. Will these work with my Nexus 7?

So when I use the toolkit and choose 4.1.2. it will unlock and root my device and wipe it to 4.1.2.? I can then use CWM to install a 4.2.2. rom?

Cheers.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] rydog66:
Yes & yes. The pdanet drivers are the ones I use & have had the best luck with. And yeah, most current version in toolkit will let you do your thing homie! Just please do yourself a favor & read the op a couple times. It will help you out a bunch.

Cheers
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Tuckycv:
Yeah, thanks for the answer, I do not use AV.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] slumberlust:
I've installed the drivers via tookit (win 7 64bit) and enabled debug usb, but I still get stuck 'waiting for adb mode' when trying to unlock the bootloader. I've switched to camera (PTP) per the FAQ suggestion. What else should I try?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] rydog66:
I initially had driver issues as well. I switched to camera mode then back. If it still won't cooperate what I did was install the drivers from pda.net. Those drivers did the trick. Everything works great, problem solved. BTW I have windows 7 64 & 32 gig N7 I hope this helps you.

Cheers,
[Nexus 7 Android Development] slumberlust:
Trying that now. For some reason teh drivers won't install. They get close and say failed to load and then uninstall themselves. Researching why.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] rydog66:
try restarting your computer
[Nexus 7 Android Development] slumberlust:
I've been trying a few things. Now it gets stuck 'intsalling pdanet to your phone.'
[Nexus 7 Android Development] rydog66:
If you experience an issue, the drivers are the issue that seems to be the most common. The pda.net drivers I can personally say work very well because that's what I have used with this toolkit all along, so once you get them installed, you're home free. The rest is just following the screen prompts. They will install, just don't get discouraged. Good luck!!

Cheers,
[Nexus 7 Android Development] slumberlust:
I was able to get pdanet installed, rebooted, same issue.

I do notice that this pops up at the start of the toolkit: http://imgur.com/6eS6c9Y

Would that impact anything as well?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] rydog66:
That looks right, yes let it check for update
[Nexus 7 Android Development] slumberlust:
I believe that requires the paid version to go through.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] rydog66:
Ur probably right. I did donate, so I could enjoy all those features

Feature request (it saved my *ss),

how to restore stock system without loosing data (when stuck on X logo):

Go download the full image at https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#nakasi (works much better than goo.im!)

use 7zip to extract nakasi-jdq39-factory-c317339e.tgz -> image-nakasi-jdq39.zip -> system.img

then

fastboot flash system system.img

What about adding this choice to the Toolkit?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] hewlett777:
Wait so, I have to donate to get the ability to root 4.2.2? hmm.

ASUS NEXUS 7 TOOLKIT AUTO UPDATE V5.0.0 [01ST MAY 2013] AVAILABLE!!

Changelog:

+Added Universal driver pack from koush for adb/fastboot drivers [including Win8]

+Updated CWM Touch Recovery to latest version [6.0.3.1]

+Updated TWRP Touch Recovery to latest version [2.5.0.0]

+Updated initialisation and improved some procedures

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 CWM 6.0.3.1 and TWRP 2.5.0.0 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.

The full public build of V5.0.0 will follow tomorrow or Friday at the latest.

[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 email me at toolkit.support@skipsoft.net about them and do not post in the open thread]

Hello Mark,

Been using the grouper for over 2 months now and everything is customized as I'd like. Not rooted though. Getting the feeling I'd love to see CM on this device now.

Is there a way to root the device with ur toolkit without losing the data and customization?

Thanks.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] elwilson4:
You have to unlock your bootloader to root your device. Unlocking the bootloader will wipe your device. If you are already unlocked then rooting will not delete your data.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] thechints:
Sadly, the device ain't unlocked. Guess will install Helium by Koush and get on to rooting sometime soon then....

I've heard good things about Helium but I haven't used it personally. Good luck. Let us know if you need anything else.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] rydog66:
Unlocking your bootloader does erase everything. But rooting doesn't.

Cheers
[Nexus 7 Android Development] shoaib30:
Thanx=) any clue abt the backup process???

Sent from my Nexus 7
[Nexus 7 Android Development] rydog66:
If you can't get the toolkit to cooperate for some reason (I love it but had issues with backup too, but he has fixed it since then) you can do it the old fashioned way. Drag n drop or copy files to your computer. Save what you want. Unlock, root, flash recovery img. Install rom sign into your accounts then drag those files you saved back. It's a little more work for you, but might save some frustration. Just my little 2cents. Good Luck!

Cheers
[Nexus 7 Android Development] shoaib30:

[Nexus 7 Android Development] Sloth:
Hi everyone,

I got my Nexus 7(grouper) yesterday.

I used this toolkit to unlock,flash twrp,and install SuperSU (sucessful)

I had to use PTP mode for the device to be recognized while going through the process.

Now when in MTP mode my PC does not recognize the device (adb devices) lists nothing, while in PTP mode it will list the device offline.

I have tried to uninstall drivers/reboot my PC/then re-install driver to no avail.

I would really like to get a rom installed but have no way to copy it to the sdcard(never used sideload or adb push before so not really familiar on how to do that).

Sorry for the long winded post just feel like a

noob

again haha any help would be greatly appreciated.

TIA BD619
[Nexus 7 Android Development] rydog66:
Drivers.... it's ALWAYS the drivers! pda.net drivers are the ones that work for me. Mskip just updated driver install and verification in his latest build, but haven't needed to mess with that since my drivers have been installed. I have been using this toolkit for months now and it's awesome! I have also been following this thread for several months & the problem is the same..... It's ALWAYS the drivers. I know you think they are right, but they are tricky, especially if you have another device that you hook up to your computer. Try the ones I suggest, or reinstall if that's the case, because I'm positive those work.

Good luck!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Sloth:
I tried the PdaNet drivers and also some CWM drivers I even tried to install/update them manually but it kept saying I have the best drivers available and would discontinue the search for others

Update: got it going :D

What was the issue? I'm glad you got it up n running! Now it's off to the races. Lol Enjoy it.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] Kenif1983:
My computer (windows 8) recognised the device in fastboot mode but is not detecting it in adb mode.

This means, I was able to unlock my bootloader but unable to root (+busybox)

times out... hangs a lot....

trying to use it to reflash everything on my N7, but it hangs, fails to download, and plain old sucks...

trying to relock and it tells me its already unlocked; well, DUH!!, and it fails to flash recovery... tries to setup root, but when i enable pic for superSU, i can enter a different pin each time and it accepts it...

tries to do too much, imo...

im not meaning to put down this toolkit, but maybe it would be wise to split up different parts of it... one exe for bootloader unlock and root... one exe for recover and os flash... one exe for relock and flash stock...

hmm... let the flaming begin??
[Nexus 7 Android Development] rydog66:
The toolkit works just fine. It's a clear case of operator error! I guarantee if you calm yourself down and properly install the drivers you could use this amazing tool to do everything it has been made to do..... after all, how many thousands of people have successfully used it? So again I'm sure the problem isn't in the toolkit.

[HTC One X] UKseagull:
The phone came from America brand new but it's an international model? (CID- 11111111), It has a Gyro - rotation sensor fault (screen doesn't rotate, compass doesn't work etc)that needs a HTC warranty repair.

I decided to restart and do a factory reset from the boot menu and I was quite alarmed to see that although the device is locked, it has S-OFF! I've no idea why it would be S-OFF from new? I'm somewhat concerned that it might effect my warranty claim.

I've only had the phone for 2-3 days and it's all the standard HTC software, OTA to the 0.11 version.
[HTC One X] Rusty!:
It happens, sometimes they slip through the net.
[HTC One X] godutch:
You are very lucky to get an s-off device; did you check you check to see whether or not screen rotation is enabled (options->screen)? The compass can be flaky when wifi in enabled, so disable it.
[HTC One X] UKseagull:
Yes, checked the settings etc, reset a couple of times but it's a no go.

Thanks for the replies. :good:
[HTC One X] godutch:
I would demand the same CID and S state from the warranty though because they will probably change the mainboard ;) ; is your bootloader unlocked, relocked or locked? Check first before you send your device away because if it is (re)locked you probably will be out of warranty but since you have s-off people here might be able to get your bootloader to locked status
[HTC One X] UKseagull:
It's locked, the phone is just a couple of days old and has only recieved the OTA's.
