It is not something to get too worried about. Is only really if 2 different version of busybox are installed that conflict with each other but if you installed the same version twice then its perfectly fine.

If you really want to delete busybox then the unroot procedure zip via custom recovery will delete root and busybox but I wouldnt bother unless your tablet gets up and starts jumping around for no reason.

Completely fresh install of 4.1.2 downloaded from Google, updated to Toolkit 3.5.0 and it is still not working for me with the same issues as before and others have reported being the problem.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] N00dle:
Is there a 4.1.2 root safe stock rom with the toolkit or is that elsewhere? Or I should say is there a root safe version of whatever rom the toolkit flashes when rooting.

Thanks a lot for your answer, it really relieved my anxiety, I'm a really the nervous type :). Will donate some more the next time I need this tool (or the Galaxy Nexus one).
[Nexus 7 Android Development] lmulli:
I was annoyed by not being able to boot into recovery using this new 3.41 Bootloader so decided to wipe and install from fresh using your Toolkit. Unfortunately, it didn't work as planned. It installed the rom okay, but will not root, install busybox or any other recovery (even with the temporary option).

I'll have a play around some more but looks like I'm gonna have to do it another way.... It appeared to fail on running root as SU informing me that ADB cannot be run as root on a "production build".﻿

EDIT: Went back to the 3.34 Bootloader and all is well - its that 3.41 Bootloader again :) And to really annoy me, a factory reset on this thing appears to have deleted my titanium backups, my CWM backups and my downloaded files! Nice!!

Its a really strange problem as it is only affecting a small number of people. I bought a Nexus 7 at the weekend specifically to test the problem some users posted about not being able to root after updating to 4.1.2. I had the OTA to 4.1.2 pushed and the ALLINEONE worked perfectly to root and flash cwm and cwm booted fine (with bootloader 4.41). I then wiped the device and flashed the google 4.1.2 image and the ALLINEONE worked perfectly again with the new bootloader.

Has anyone with this problem tried flashing back to 4.1.1 via the google image to see if they can still root?

Mark.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] mskip:
Yes the 3.41 bootloader is very perplexing especially when it doesnt affect all tablets..

A factory reset will wipe your Internal Storage. Tough way to learn that though lol.

Mark.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] mskip:
Ok can someone with the 4.1.2 rooting problem post IN HERE so I can send them a rooted 4.1.2 kernel to try. At the moment both builds (4.1.1 and 4.1.2) use the 4.1.1 rooted kernel to enable adb root commands but maybe that doesnt work on all devices so I want to see if a new kernel will fix it. If it works I will add it and push an Auto Update immediately.

Mark.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] tshephard:
Getting me too...

I cannot root 4.1.2/3.41. Tried all imaginable download methods for fresh roms again and again.

I get something like... ADBH cannot run factory images, and then... cannot remount in the next line - or something very close to that.

I have a C70 - 8GB.

Re-loaded 4.1.1/3.34, rooted all-in-one - easy!

(Instant Google message to update!)

I want to read USB stick and have factory home landscape.

I am willing to help test.

I saw something about 3.34 with 4.1.2 - is that possible, or at least already

tested as brick-proof?

THX
[Nexus 7 Android Development] lmulli:
Pretty much the same as me, however, in the end I simply flashed the old 3.34 bootloader once I had installed the 4.1.2 rom and the procedure worked flawlessly!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] nava88:
I want to root my 4.1.2 and get the n7 toolkit with auto update. The correct form its donate to mskip and send him my user of paypal?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] electricjelly:
My nexus didn't like the new 3.41 bootloader either. After running the Ota update, I kept root but lost the ability to boot into any recovery, stock, twrp, or cwm. I got the newest donate version of this toolkit in hopes it would successfully flash a recovery. That didnt work either. I eventually just used this toolkit to flash the old 3.34 bootloader back on. That did the trick. Every seems to work great with 3.34, but when I went back to 3.41 I had the same problem. So for now Ill just stick with old bootloader. I don't notice any problems with it. I'll keep a lookout for any new developments.

For reference: I have a c70 was on JRO03D and flashed via cwm OTA signed-nakasi-JZO54K-from-JRO03D.zip
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Lomax01:
More than happy to do any testing for you.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] tshephard:
I kept 4.1.2, and also reflashed 3.34, then root worked fine.

Still willing to test (still on light duty from back operation).
[Nexus 7 Android Development] lmulli:
That's what I meant my bad. I kept the 4.1.2 ROM and not the 3.41 ROM of course because it doesn't exist!

It was early.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] mskip:
Ok so I have built V3.5.0 Auto Update and need someone with a device who CANNOT root on 4.1.2 and someone who CAN root to update their version and test it.

I have added a fully rooted jzo54k kernel with forced adbd root and also added an option on ALL root procedures to flash the bootloader 3.34 image before starting (will only ask if 4.1.2 is selected) so im hoping this will fix any issues but only if the issue is with the toolkit. If the issue is with the users drivers or connection then thats a different matter.

First people to post on here get to test it :)

Hello.

I am stuck on bootanimation logo and can't get into CWM.

I am on C&C ROM 4.1.2

Everything was fine until i decided to flash another kernel.

So is there any chance to get back in business without making full wipe. I made first backup before rooting my tablet. And this backup is on my laptop.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] mskip:
From the Main Menu option 4, 4 will flash the stock boot image back to your device. Hopefully that will fix it.

Mark.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] notko:
I will try this step. Will this full wipe my device or not?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] mskip:
Flashing a boot image will not wipe your device.

If it doesnt work then something else may have been corrupted and you will prbably have to reflash a stock image to get it working.

Hi Mark,

I would like to root my nexus 7. Mine is running 4.1.2 and I am not sure this toolkit can be used to root it.

I have a few questions.

1. I want to user Superuser.

2. I want to flash custom ROMs.

3. I don't want to lose my current data in my nexus 7 now.

I didn't have problems for rooting my S3. But it seems it's more difficult for nexus 7. Can you help me out here? Thanks Mark!

Sorry if I ask dumb questions.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] TigTigerTig:
Your questions aren't dumb, they're all ready answered if you search the thread :P

None-the-less, this program will root your device, just plug in your N7, use the Toolkit to do an all-in-one unlock and root procedure.

Your device will be wiped in the process, there isn't any way around this that I know of. So before using the all-in-one method, use the Toolkit to back up your apps.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] PAING1990:
Hi, so I can use the toolkit to root 4.1.2 right?

And i can backup before wiping so I wont lose any data. That sounds good.

Hey Mark,

finally got my device rooted with your newest tool, flashed bootloader 3.3.4 (I thought :laugh:) with the tool as it asked, and that seems to have done the job, Can I just leave it like this, or do I need to flash the newest bootloader over it?

Thnx for all your work!!

Was you one of the users not able to root before?

You can just leave it with the older bootloader it doesnt cause any problems.

Yep, I was one of them.. Ok I`ll leave it like this then..

[Nexus 7 Android Development] nava88:
If y only want to root my N7 I dont need to flash a new bootloader?

So this way I can keep the google updates?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Huupie:
If you are on Android 4.12, you can try without flashing the "older"bootloader, if you get errors flash bootloader 3.34 first and it should work..

If you`re on Android 4.11 it should work right away..

Good luck..

[Nexus 7 Android Development] gallahad2000:
Can't seem to get this to root my N7.

Drivers installed, recognized by the toolbox (both in adb and fastboot modes). I've tried reinstalling drivers through the app but it says "operation started" doesn't seem to do anything.

No worries, drivers are already installed from when I first rooted my N7 (using the tool box, no less).

So I type "4" and "1" to root, no to trigger a reboot, wait, wait, wait....

Restart the tool box, push the buttons and get to fastboot, "4", "1", reboots to android and then nothing happens. Waiting for 20 secs, waiting for 5 secs (at one of these the process hangs and nothing happens).

USB debugging is enabled and USB camera mode, not sure what else I can do. Even disabled AVG to see if it would help.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] elwilson4:
Well when I tried to manually apply the OTA it kept getting errors. I was on the stock kernal with CWM. I figured out the reason it kept erroring out was because I had deleted some system apps. So I backed up with Titanium Backup, flashed the stock 4.1.1 image (this was before the updated toolkit with the 4.1.2 image), rooted and added CWM, then applied the update without a hitch. I was able to keep root this way for some reason. I thought the OTA would break root but it didn't for me.

As long as if you are on the stock kernal, I would try to manually install the OTA (see this thread). If it works great. If not then you might have to flash a stock image (either 4.1.1 or 4.1.2).
[Nexus 7 Android Development] zarthan:
Never mind
[Nexus 7 Android Development] nm8:
Just to confirm, I have rooted my JB 4.1.2. with this toolkit. Option 4 then option 2.

Scenario:

I was originally rooted with JB 4.1.1 but I could not install the 4.1.2. update. So I reflashed the old unrooted 4.1.1 Rom from the toolkit, then updated to 4.1.2 via OTA.

My bootloader was still unlocked, I reinstalled CMW recovery then rooted without problem.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Datron:
Yesterday I took the ota update. The process was oddly simple. The tablet booted into cwm and flashed the update. Then, cwm gave me two warnings about the update possibly flashing its own recovery and me losing my root. Cwm also gave me options to prevent this, which I accepted. Now I'm on 4.1.2 with cwm and root, none of my apps or settings were wiped.

I wish I had better details to share. Never drink and flash!

...hence the 'backup' part of the suggestion. ;)

And it's saying up to date because it ran the update. It doesn't double check to see if it actually succeeded. :p

Pick the option to rename the recovery from boot file, then pick the option to reflash CWM. The update replaced CWM with the stock recovery and brought back the recovery restore files, so you have to go through the process of getting your recovery set up again.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] chungtau:
Is that mean I need to go through step 5 and 6 or I need to start all over again!
