ASUS NEXUS 7 TOOLKIT AUTO UPDATE V5.1.8 [19TH JUNE 2013] AVAILABLE!!

Changelog:

+Updated all SuperSU Root [by Chainfire] methods to lastest version V1.34

+Fixed problem with Toolkit crashing when selecting to root with SuperSU

[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]

Donation links can be found at http://www.skipsoft.net/?page_id=703 for users who wish to update to the Professional version and enable Auto Updates.

open backup file

As I can open a backup file from the pc?

I have the .bak file but could not open it.

winrar do not open it.

There is NO way to recover photos and documents? is that I can not restore to the tablet because it says it is corrupt.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] mskip:
Not as far as I know unless it can be done in linux you could try googling it. The Toolkit does recommend that you backup Internal Memory via the specific option in the backup/restore section as corrupt backups can happen and theres no way of testing them apart from restoring them after they are made.

What size is your backup file?

Just got the n7 this morning and it is an amazing device!

I am trying to download the toolkit from the main OP but there seems to be server difficulties. Is there any mirrors for the kit?

Also I am being really thick but I cant find developer options to enable usb debugging! I am used to sense and know it is a bit different to pure android.

Don't know how but I have managed to enable usb debugging. If somebody could get a mirror for the tool kit that would be great!

Hello!

It is my first time here. I have the Pro version of the toolkit and it already downloaded all the upgrades.

I am trying to connect my nexus 7 but it is not detected.

FYI, I got also Pro version of Galaxy S3 running on same machine.

I was able to flash my nexus before I connect the nexus, now I can only connect the S3 but not nexus anymore. Getting error: device is not found

Can anyone help me?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ameinild:
Did you read the first post thoroughly on how to install the drivers? There are several options posted there on how to reinstall the drivers. :good:

For some stupid reasons, I deleted my installed custom rom via custom recovery. Then i rebooted with a prompt "No OS is installed, do you want to reboot?" I swipe to reboot then i'm stuck at Google screen. I'm already downloading the toolkit. Can someone please help me. Will I use the toolkit when my nexus 7 is in bootloader mode? ( Power button + volume down) And i think i haven't installed my drivers. Can i install drivers of nexus 7 without having to plug my device when it's working normally? Please someone help me.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
You can install the fast boot drivers in fast boot mode so your OK provided you can still use fast boot, and this is the joy its all most impossible to break (soft ware wise)!

So anyway, download the kit, select option 1 to install the drivers to PC, follow instructions, then when you have finished choose the option to download and flash factory rom. Follow the instructions the toolkit provides. When you have finished it will work again. Next time remember to take a nandroid before you start messing around

HOLY SON OF GOD! I MADE IT WORK! HAHAHA! Option 9 is all I have. I can't take the creator of this enough. Haha Thanks lad! Great work.

---------- Post added at 08:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:03 PM ----------

Well, option 1 didn't work well. Cause I cant boot to android fully. So I made it to bootloader, it automatically installs android driver. It failed for the 1st attempt but made it on 2nd try. I was just so stupid deleting my current rom. I wiped everything cause i'm getting a strange defect. Touch sensors doesnt seem to respond at times. So i thought it was only rom's fault. My device is only 5 months old though. Is anyone getting same scenario?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] thefunkygibbon:
This = Truth! Getting horendous speeds. I would download from elsewhere and put it into the folder if i knew which fiiles to get and where to put them.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] mskip:
I think the bad speeds and unstable connection with goo.im may be partly down to their move and upgrade plans. I have uploaded all the model files and recovery files to skipsoft servers which has a much higher download speed and immediate connection. The option to download from skipsoft.net or goo.im is already in the Auto Update version but I will try to build a public version soon to add those options.

Hello Folks,

I have the 3G version of Nexus 7 and am trying to root the device. I have already unlocked the bootloader, but keep getting the following error while trying to root the device:

Removing old root files [if present] for stability..

If you get 6 'rm failed' messages no root files are present on your system

rm failed for /system/bin/su, No such file or directory

Would appreciate if someone could help..

Thanks
[Nexus 7 Android Development] reade0871:
There is a chance you still were successfully rooted. The error you are getting are from the installer script trying to clean things up a bit prior to installing the root applications. The best way to check is to verify you have either Superuser or SuperSU installed and working. Are you able to use applications that require root such as Titanium Backup, EFS File Explorer, etc.?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] harryrasul:
I tried opening Titanium Backup but it failed saying there is not ROOT access...should I use the toolkit all over again...not sure what's wrong...the tablet is in USB debugging mode and MTP(media device) mode...

[Nexus 7 Android Development] :
Roots and flashes fine, will not return to stock.

Why? The same setup that allows me to unlock, root, and flash like a champ gets stuck on "sending system" when attempting to flash the stock image. 4.2.2, not 4.3. I was going to allow OTA to do it's magic, but now, i'm stuck. I lost one Nexus this way trying to manually flash back to stock. Am I missing a step? Should I unroot first?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] slybunda:

Flash stock recovery for OTA and I get error

On 4.2.2 JDQ39 and TW recovery. I want to flash stock recovery so I can get the 4.3 OTA when it arrives.

But when I try to flash stock recovery I get a Error saying it it can not find the file. I reinstalled the Root kit and updates (pro user)

Anybody know what I am doing wrong?

Thanks
[Nexus 7 Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
Yeah I had something similar when I was updating. I managed to successfully do it by copying these images over to the put IMG to flash here folder and do them individually. You will need boot, bootloader, recovery and system (all the .IMG) but leave out user data if you want to keep your current apps and stuff. I had to do the same on my galaxy nexus but had to flash the radio also.

It seems to be okay now! :)

can this tool unlock the bootloader on android 4.3? reason i ask is that unlocking the bootloader wipes the device so if it can do that then thats fine, so i can set it all up with my apps etc then when tool is updated for superuser and TWRP recovery i can flash those to it without having to factory reset again.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] _demo_:
got problems with root on 4.3. so i asked my nexus best friend - nexus toolkit, for help.

A bit off-topic.

i got SU by Chainfire v1.5, shows that my device is rooted, but still cant uninstall any system apps (hindi input, korean input - not needed for me) with titanium or android tuner :confused:
[Nexus 7 Android Development] skeeterfood:
Did you see the update for TiBu that just rolled out today? I haven't tried going to 4.3 yet, so I can't say if it works or not.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] IDKHow2ShaveWithaRAZR:/:
I'm sorry to ask such a noob question.

Where I'm at:

On 4.2.2 I used this to unlock bootloader, root, got twrp, busybox, and I hit the hacks for the camera and there might have been something else. That's it.

What exactly will happen if I use the OTA for 4.3 at this moment without unrooting or whatever?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
Well for one it won't install cos your recovery, and if it did you would loose root. So get your self the factory image, keep extracting it till you see all the IMG files and flash them manually using the tool kit (see one of recent previous posts here). Then head over to the supersu thread by chainfire and download the latest root version for 4.3 and use the kit to boot to custom recovery then flash the zip.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] lnxpro:
Hoping for some new nexus 7 support here too. mine's due to arrive by the end of the week. I already have the old one and donated for the extra goodies for this toolkit, and the nexus 4 toolkit. just need to get the new one going :)

[Nexus 7 Android Development] CBX133:
If I have a completely stock N7 on 4.3 and want to downgrade firmware will this toolkit allow me to unlock boot loader to flash stock 4.2 back on?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] slapperypete:
Seconded - with a caveat.

4.3 OTA installed; root has been lost. I am getting some strange behaviour, however - for example, the MLB at Bat app crashes when you try to load video, and AdBlock Plus is acting strange with a persistent notification.

I'm sure there are solutions to restore full functionality, but I'll wait for the update to the Toolkit since I'm the goof that installed the OTA update in the first place and shouldn't be trusted not to bugger it up more!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] daniel3334:
I have factory unlocked 32gig version. Will I lose data by using this to root?

[Nexus 7 Android Development] Stransky:
Hi

I also did the OTA update to 4.3 but do not have your problems, my problem is that with rotation on auto my Nexus stays in landscape mode and will not switch to portrait unless I diable auto rotate and then the opposite is true. Antone else on 4 3 have this?

Support for New Nexus 7 (2013) ?

I read through the thread but I just wanted to touch base with you to verify that this does "NOT" support the new Nexus 7 (2013), and if not to see if there happened to be one for it yet. ;)

Thanks!!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] hostel666:
Exacly the same here....but went back to normal fuction after 2 days.

I only reboot the system twice...(forgot to charge it:p)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bengals1975:
It doesn't officially but I think (and I repeat THINK) that if you just selected the 4.2.2 rom choice, told the toolkit to flash an .img while in fastboot, then answer manually to the "do you have an insecure boot image" with "no", you could flash the TWRP (or CWM) recovery image. Then, you could reboot to recovery, flash Chainfire's SuperSU v1.51 (or whatever the latest is), reboot, and you should have a rooted device.

Last night I flashed my old N7 w/ the factory image (in the individual pieces - bootloader, system, boot, TWRP recovery) and after that was able to reboot to recovery, install SuperSU and everything works great. I don't know if the drivers for the new N7 are different than the old ones though either.

Perhaps somebody else in here can confirm/deny my thoughts.
