Hmmmm...willing to take a full wipe but toolkit can't seem to pry open the 4.1.2 archive. Is that a GOO.IM problem?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] imatrix:
Does this app have any compatibility issue on windows.8?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] asimons81:
Same here. I'm using the latest version of the toolkit, fully stock Android 4.1.2. It did unlock my bootloader, but rooting and installing recovery is a no go for me so far.

Edit: I also noticed at the top of the toolkit, it still says I'm trying to root the 4.1.1 build, even though I chose selection 2, for Android 4.1.2.

Edit 2: My error is that the toolkit is saying "device not found" when it attempts to root, although I do have USB debugging enabled, and the toolkit does recognize the tab via ADB.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] mskip:
Its just a typing error on my part with the 4.1.1 text. I have changed it to 4.1.2 for the next Auto Update.

Have you tried more than once rebooting your phone inbetween attempts? Are you seeing the serial number in the main menu?

I will make a proper rooted kernel from the 4.1.2 and push another update tonight. If someone who is having problems rooting with 4.1.2 can pm me their google talk name or message me on there then I can go through it with them which will be a much faster way of making it work. If not I will just buy a nexus 7 tomorrow so I can make sure its working personally.

Can someone who has 4.1.1 report if the root process using the 3.4.0 Auto Update is working or not? I need to know if its just local to 4.1.2 or if its an error I have made somewhere.

There's also a typo in the text where you enter your 10 digit (although mine was 9) donator code... "type in the code you *was* given".

I was, you were :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] asimons81:
Yep. I have rebooted several times. It seems there's a problem with installing recovery, or even just booting into a custom recovery without flashing it. The tablet just reboots back into Android.

And yep, the serial number is listed at the top.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] olivercervera:
I have a curious issue.

Coming from 4.1.1 unlocked & rooted & cwm with this Toolkit

- Updated Toolkit to 3.2

- I made a Backup of the internal SD

- Flashed 4.1.2 stock image (downloaded via browser)

- Root, Busybox and CWM

- Restore SD backup

I'm having issues to delete a folder created by me (restored in the backup) it's /sdcard/apps apk

In this folder I usually store the apk files of some apps, like Firefox, installing them faster without using Play Store

Root Explorer says that he can't delete the folder, neither delete files or copy files in that folder. All the folder's permissions are ok. What's happening?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] pwnerman:
hey guys i dont know why but avast detected the toolkit exe as malware and deleted it. this screwed up everything and even when i reinstall it with the downloaded package it doesnt show up in the add and remove programs.

how can i flush this out and make a fresh install?

and why does the newest donators version ask me what build im on every time i open the program?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Tyraenor:
Malware detected

My Antivirus program detects ToolKit.exe as malware... :(

I hope it is a false alert?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] pwnerman:
hey man if you read the post right above yours i reported that my antivirus was reporting it as malware too.

What antivirus are you on?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] conorkickass:
Same issue - Avast!

[Nexus 7 Android Development] cardyology:
Hey guys, im also having issues using this tool to root/cwm/busybox after installing 4.1.2

my device is stock, 16gb, updated to 4.1.2 a coupel of days ago. Ran the toolkint, made a backup which worked. CHose the all in one option, it seemed to unlock bootloader fine (i have an unlocked padlock on my boot screen now) but seemed to fail to root or do anything beyond that. tried repeatedly, tried rebooting device between attempts. Still not working.

ANyone know of a solution of fix?

Thanks!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] rmanaka:
FWIW, it seems like TWRP 2.3.0 has been released...

http://teamw.in/project/twrp2
[Nexus 7 Android Development] pwnerman:
i see that avast must have updated something with their definitions that makes the toolkit show up as malware.

I think the OP should add this to the list of antiviruses that will possibly do this.

Also for anyone that that got it all screwed up this is what you do to uninstall it clean if you cant in the add and remove programs

There is a little batch file called uninstall in the program folder just click on it and it will remove everything then just delete the main folder then re install

[Nexus 7 Android Development] asimons81:
Thank you. This worked perfectly. Is there any reason to upgrade bootloaders again?

[Nexus 7 Android Development] smt8544:
Is this toolkit compatible with 4.1.2? As in, can it flash the stock image and then root and install custom recovery?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] mohitrocks:
Hey guys,

After I tried installing the 4.1.2 image (I didn't know it wasn't supported until now), the bootloader shows the Start button, no other text and it says "Booting Failed" on the top left every time I press start. I've tried installing the 4.1.1 image as well, but I've ended up with the same issue. Could someone please help me? I'm not exactly sure what's wrong here.

EDIT: Sorry guys, it seems to work perfectly now that I tried flashing 4.1.1 another time. Thanks so much guys, and great job mskip!

So tookit version 3.4.0 will fix issues rooting a 4.1.2 nexus 7 ?

How much do we have to donate? How does the toolkit know if i've donated or not?

[Nexus 7 Android Development] spaceman860:
Mskip I can verify this is true after you restore SD card you can not delete or move any file around or import any files from drop box etc the only way is to delete a file is to use TWRP file manager in recovery. I just flashed stock images again then just moved my folders over (dragged and drop). I believe that it has something to do with the group and owner of the sdcard.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] Mr.Holmes:
I deleted my stock back up by mistake so since I didn't know of a better way to flash the 4.1.2 update I flashed the google stock in the tool kit. It gave me the out of the box state I needed to flash the update zip Cuz the zip wouldn't install while I was on eclipse. So I went back to stock, then chose option 8 to get get back into root world,updated to 4.1.2, then flashed the new build for eclipse 2.1 which also dropped last night :victory: ,installed my apps backed up on the toolkit and everything went as smooth as butter. I said all that to say THANK YOU once again. With my limited experience in all this I have to say following your steps has been the easiest process I've had for all devices I've tampered with.

Also,even tho I haven't had any issues, yet, I constantly check the thread and I appreciate how diligent you are mskip and also very patient dealing with people and their problems. Also those of you who constantly contribute to help folks when mskip is busy. I myself am very thankful for all guys,and gals. :highfive:
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Maty360414:
how much do i have to donate?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] cardyology:
I jsut donated £1. I think thats reasonable. If a thousand people do that its 1k. Plenty of beer money :)

Still not received my code to unlock 3.4.0 though so at the moment I'm in limbo.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Maty360414:
maybe you donated very little
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Towle:
C'mon man. Read the last few pages.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Aucool:
I wanna buy the donate version but don't know how much to give... 1$ is fine ?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Danney92:
Hey guys,

Do you have financial problems? Or were you too stingy??

Hey, you go buy PCs, a Nexus 7, and since not ready by 10 or 15 euros or whatever to donate (at least 5 euros)?

I do not understand you. Spend money on equipment, but in no case to spend 1 cent ...

He certainly spends a lot of free time to program something great.

We should be happy that he does something.

I donated 10 Euros, because:

-He developed the tool in his leisure

-Because he makes a great support

-Because the tool is great

-Because I have respect from what he does

-Because I have money for a Nexus, so I have money for the project also

-Because I also would like to provide financial support in (hope he can order what to do)

When I read something like "Is it 1 euro, or to donate even less" reading, I need to puke.

Worse than Scrooge McDuck ... almost ...

Sry for bad english. Used Google Translate...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] cardyology:
Hey man, a donation is exactly that, a donation. I have contributed waht I can afford, we arent all well off. Sure the guy spent time developing this, but it will go free soon. I didnt have to donate to use the erlier version, I;ve never "had" to donate to use any other hacking/rooting software. As I said in my previous post, if 1000 people send £1, that a thousand pounds.Not bad going by my reckoning.

Still not receved an email with the code. If it is actualyl because I "donted too little" then that stinks. He should change it form "please make a donation" to "pay me for premium version".

What's this?

What's this? :confused:
[Nexus 7 Android Development] buttie:
It's false positive. Toolkit uses scripts which a lot of antivirus engines treats as suspicious, some of them are smart enough to distinguish if it's really harmful or not, some of them (AVG or Avast for example) not.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] Datron:
You're fine, man. Just pm mskip and he'll get u the code. Any donation is appreciated by any developer.

Yes, it may seem odd that someone spends a lot of money on hardware and only donates a buck to this developer. Let's all get over it. This is a community. We all do what we can to make it work. Some people develop, some people donate money, some people offer advice, others simply participate in discussions. It's all good.

Now, may we proceed? Cheers.

I went out and bought a Nexus 7 today so I can specifically look at the problems that have been highlighted. Nexus 7 users have been very good to me and I want to make sure you all get the best possible treatment and experience with the Toolkit.

I will look at the rooting problem some people are having when rooting 4.1.2 and also the permissions when restoring an sd card backup and try to fix all these in the next day. As it is a weekend my work time is more limited as I spend the days with my family but I can work more at night :)

I will also add the new TWRP 2.3.0.0 to the next Auto Update and fix the text typos that have been mentioned.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] evildomain:
I also sent a Donation(not payment!) a few days ago and haven't heard back. I think I sent 2pounds. Anyway, I sent the money as a thank you because that's what a donation means to me here at XDA. If he doesn't send a code because he feels that was too little than it is fine. I'm grateful for the hard work he put into this toolkit.

As for the person who commented that we are cheap, sorry ours donations were not large enough to impress you. I thought the whole purpose was to give what you could when you can and to show the Dev support? Maybe I'm wrong...:confused:
[Nexus 7 Android Development] mskip:

CAN PEOPLE PLEASE STOP DISCUSSING ABOUT DONATIONS IN THE OPEN THREAD AS IT JUST CLOGS UP THE POSTS AND MAKES IT MUCH HARDER FOR ME TO FIND AND ANSWER QUESTIONS RELATED TO TOOLKIT OPERATION.

IF YOU HAVE AN ISSUE OR QUESTION ABOUT DONATIONS THEN PM ME AND I WILL ANSWER YOU AS SOON AS I CAN.

FINALLY JUST TO PUT AN END ON DISCUSSION OF DONATION AMOUNTS, ALL DONATIONS ARE GRATEFULLY RECEIVED. THERE IS NO MINIMUM AMOUNT AS LONG AS IT ISNT SOMETHING STUPID LIKE 1P IF YOU WISH TO DONATE AND CAN ONLY AFFORD £1 THEN DONATE A POUND. IF YOU CAN AFFORD IT AND WISH TO DONATE MORE THEN DONATE MORE.

THANK YOU.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] pwnerman:
You deserve an award for all the crap you put up with

Also, i don't know if it has been mentioned but is it supposed to ask which version and build your on every time you open the program?

One last question.

How is it humanly possible for you to keep up with so many versions of this program? Its crazy you must have your wife and kids employed lol
[Nexus 7 Android Development] mskip:
Haha thanks I work on the Toolkits at night mostly until about 3am (if needed) so I just manage to fit everything in.

As there are 2 builds for the Nexus 7 now (4.1.1 and 4.1.2) then the Toolkit needs to know which one you are on so the correct files can be set up for use. If you do not want this question everytime you start then just go into the Toolkit Settings from the main menu, then select option 2 and you can choose whether to show or hide the Model Selection Screen on startup. In the Toolkit Settings you can also select option 5 to choose whether to always check for Auto Updates on startup, ask everytime or never check. I try to make the toolkit as organised as possible and cover all the bases ;)

Mark.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] martin.dallura:
great work Mark

Although I'm having trouble flashing the new Google Stock Image. The Toolkit attempts to extract the .tar file, then renames it to .tgz for another attempt but fails again.

It says it not a valid file.

Thanks for your help.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] mskip:
Try downloading the image from the google link: https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/nakasi-jzo54k-factory-973f190e.tgz

I have changed it in the Toolkit for the next version as a few people have stated it not extracting. I had problems with my internet when uploading the image to goo.im so maybe it went wrong. I will check it and fix anything thats needed.

Successfuly unlocked the bootloader but everytime I try to root or anything beyond that, I'm getting the same error as I was with toolkit 3.2.0 - something about permissions & my nexus bing a read-only filesystem.

Ok quick question. I have successfully rooted my Nexus 7 4.1.2 using 3.2.0 of this toolkit, and installed CWM Touch. I've now downloaded ROM Manager, and it is saying that I have to install a CWM Recovery in order to continue.. I don't want to brick my device by doing this, so should I?

Sort of same boat here. I was on 4.1.1 (rooted with this toolkit). Took the OTA for 4.1.2, but have lost root. I still have superuser on my N7.

When the update is released, can I just select "root" again or do I need to do anything else.

Hi and sorry for my bad english.

I stay a long days reading the post, and finally I decide to write a question.

I have a Nexus 7 with 4.1.2 updated by OTA, its new and full locked. I need to get root for some apps that I use, but I love AOSP and dont want to change my rom, its best to get root for this version and unroot when some update its launched, or unlock the bootloader and install a CWM and get the update manually.

If you dont understand that i trying to ask, say me and I can re-ask with anoter words.

I wait for your answer to make a donation for your great and big contribution!

Thanks in advance!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] TigTigerTig:
Just root your Nexus 7 without installing any custom Using the Toolkit (3.2.0 worked fine for me).

I'd recommend always using an OTA update and just rerooting the device, since you want to stay as close to stock as possible.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] nava88:
Thanks I see you post and another doubt grow on me.

If I have 4.1.2 I can root with the 3.2 tool? Anyway i want to donate any contribution to the creator.

And if i have a 4.1.2 rooted versión I can update via OTA official or need to update with the .zip in the original recovery?

I dont wat to brick my N7.

Thanks for your really fast answer
[Nexus 7 Android Development] TigTigerTig:
Yes you can root with the 3.2.0 tool, it worked for me..and yes you can still OTA if you're rooted, as long as you aren't running a custom ROM.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Huupie:
Hi there,

So if the problem lays by if you flashed image 4.1.2 and the ota update, wouldn't it be possible to flash image 4.1.1, root it and ota update to 4.1.2??

I can't test this right now, but maybe someone else??

GOOGLE NEXUS 7 AUTO UPDATE TO V3.5.0.0 AVAILABLE!

Changelog:

ToolKit v3.5.0 (16th Oct 2012)

+Updated TWRP Recovery to V2.3.1.0

+Edited drivers text for better wording

+Changed Download link for 4.1.2 to google site to fix original corrupted image file

+Checked the root routines and changed some timings to make things run more smoothly

+Fixed some minor text errors

I have checked and verified that the root/busybox procedure works for both Android 4.1.2 OTA and Stock Rom flash from google. I also had no problem with the 4.41 bootloader and custom recoverys so if people are having trouble I would suggest a reflash of the Stock Rom.

Enjoy :)

[Nexus 7 Android Development] getrandomstring:
I accidentally installed Busybox twice (I blame Dropbear server for not recognizing my Busybox :) ). In the toolkit it said that this might corrupt my system.

- How likely is this to happen?

- Would I notice this?

- What would be the symptoms? Would it, for example, render the device unbootable, or would the problems be more subtle?

- How could I reverse this? Would factory reset work or should I reflash the thing with Stock ROM?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] hx4700 user:
Read the Thread!

If you have donated to the OP, then you get auto updates to the latest updates. If you do not donate, you only get the publicly released versions in the First Post.

After time, a later update gets released as a full install to the public, and get posted in the First Post of this thread. As has been stated, it takes more time to create a full version to download so it is not done for every point release.
