To your question about download TWRP, you can use the toolkit to do that. No need to uninstall CWM

Kendall
[Nexus 7 Android Development] dja2k:
Thanks for the toolkit !!! :good:

One quick question, has anyone seen a problem with the powering up of the device after rooting and installing CWM option #8 "1-Click for All". I had several random times that the device wouldn't power up even with full battery. I had to play with the power button for a few minutes until it reacted. I flashed back to Stock ROM and Locked the Bootloader in case I had to send it back and this way it doesn't seem to have the same problem. Any ideas? Thanks

Backup of Virtual SD Card fails

I am trying to use the "Backup your Internal Storage [virtual SD card]" option and it's not working. It goesn't give me any erorrs just says

Waiting for adb Mode

Now continuing to backup your /data/media folder

Please be patient as this may take a while

pull: building file list...

0 files pulled. 0 files skipped.

Completed

I checked the /data/media folder using ES File explorer and it does have a lot of data in it

I have unlocked the boot loader and have rooted the device. I have also encrypted the device if that matters. Also, i have sometimes seen the following error message when doing other things in the toolkit

"adbd cannot run as root in production builds"

I had to have my nexus 7 replaced and i'm trying to backup everything so i can restore it on the new one without having to reinstall/setup everything again.

A couple of other misc info items:

- I am able to do a nandroid backup using the latest version of TWRP which has support for decryption but i can't use it to backup the internal storage area

- when i use the NANdroid backup option within the toolkit, i get the

adbd cannot run as root in production builds

remount failed: Operation not permitted

then it proceeds to do the backup

I can't root my device, unlocking is easy but when I go to root I enter all my info then click USB debugging then nothing happens. HELP
[Nexus 7 Android Development] mskip:
You may need to unplug/replug your device after enabling 'usb debugging' for the device to be recognised. If that works for you then I will add it to the info in the ToolKit.

Mark.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] mskip:
You are not using an insecure kernel when performing the pull. When asked if you have an insecure boot image you need to answer 'no' so the ToolKit can boot you back to fastboot mode and temp boot an insecure boot image before starting the procedure. Everything should work fine then.

Mark.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] mskip:
None that have been reported to me. Sorry I cant be more help.

Mark.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] mskip:
Im pretty sure its the compiler I use for the ToolKit exe. On a few machines it doesnt like it and closes. I will try using a different compiler in my next release and see if that helps. If I havent posted anything by tomorrow then drop me a pm to remind me please.

And if you have CWM or TWRP recovery installed, download superuser [ http://downloads.noshufou.netdna-cdn.com/superuser/Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip ] and flash it in your custom recovery.

Hey Mark, first off great work. I've followed tge thread for a week or two and played with the toolkit for several days now. Awesome product man. Donation inbound once I get settled in from traveling .

I recommend dropping this quick solution into the OP. It worked for me awhile back and I had to blindly stumble upon it.

I didn't see a follow up to this so I figured I'd share.

Drag your mouse to the far, bottom right and choose settings then change pc settings.

On the pc settings screen choose the general tab and under "advanced

startup" click restart now

the new screen should be "choose an option", choose troubleshoot,

then advanced options and finally startup settings, click restart.

When the computer restarts you will see a new screen,you want to hit 7

for disable driver signature enforcement. After you are in windows try

installing the driver again

FANTASTIC tool for Nexus 7 users. I've never unlocked a bootloader on any device because I didn't trust my ability to undo the mess I might create. Your program made the process quick and easy. Unlocked, rooted, backed-up with zero headache. Thank you!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Milamber33:
Depends on how it's bricked. If you've flashed a bad bootloader image and you can't get into fastboot any more, then no. But as long as you can access fastboot mode, yes, you can flash anything you like to it.

FastBoot mode freezes (side buttons doesn't react and ToolKit just keeps saying "Downloading boot.img") after the first reboot when trying to root the tablet. Unlocking the BootLoader was no problem.

I have to force reboot it by holding the power button down for like 10 sek, and then the ToolKit says it failed due to "Too many links"-ish

Just reflash the stock image, that's the best way to get rid of all traces of root. Then just relock the bootloader afterwards and you're all set.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] kwhy:
first I think some people might run into conflicts if you have a version of apd already installed.

some feedback to developer...

AMD VISTA 32bit (other version of ADB installed)

====================================

I have a Vista 32bit setup that I use eclipse to do some minor java apps for my Nexus S and Xoom. I ran into conflicts where apd would throw errors (out of date) so I'm assuming that the wrong ADB file might have been running? I didn't investigate this much since I didn't want to alter my setup for my nexus s and xoom though I did try to update the SDK in eclipse, but I guess that didn't work. Maybe an environmental path variable is causing the wrong ADB file to be run?

so basically I was able to install the drivers, unlock the phone, but unable to root or flash a recovery. Choosing to root would just install the APK, but the SU file wouldn't install correctly or the permissions where messed up.

INTEL VISTA 64bit (no versions of ADB installed)

====================================

everything worked perfectly on this setup though I was unable to installed the *Intel 64bit* drivers (option 2 on v2.00), but the AMD 64bit drivers installed?!

everything else worked perfectly on this computer. I was able to root, flash recovery, install busy box.... no errors.

great program.

"Back Up My Data" button disabled when running adb backup

Hi all,

I tried using the adb backup function via the toolkit, which basically execs the following command via adb:

adb backup -f backups/backup-all-nosystem-apk-noshared-12Sep070239.bak -all -nosystem

-apk -noshared

This launches the Full backup screen on my device. I left the backup password blank (which I always do since as I do it all the time for my maguro). However, the "Back up my data" button on the lower right corner does not respond to touches. It doesn't look like it is disabled, but it just doesn't do anything after pressing on it.

The only thing I could do is to press "Do not back up" which stops the backup process itself.

Any clues?

I am really really hoping someone reply here. I would love to unlock and root my Nexus 7, but several concerns I have:

This Nexus 7 Toolkit seems like have a lot of features, but can you please explain to me how the backup really works? I know that many forums it says unlocking the bootloader will wipe all data.

If I do backup option in this Toolkit (before I do anything else), and then after go head unlock, root, and flash Recovery, then it is OK to go back backup option and restore all my apps (and their data)? does anyone tried this and worked?

I would hate to re-install all apps again...:(

very much appreciated for any feedback, suggestions.:fingers-crossed:

I could be wrong, but I think when you unlock the bootloader you get:

"*This step will fully wipe your device, just like a factory reset does. It’s a good thing to unlock your device before you start to customize it and load it up with all of its apps because there is no way to avoid losing it all with this command.*This step will fully wipe your device, just like a factory reset does.

thanks a lot...donated something but forgot to copy the confirmation on paypal...anyway thanks a lot for this easy rooting package
[Nexus 7 Android Development] rnclock:
So I wanted to test your concerns out as I was going to root mine and start from scratch anyway. To answer your question about backing up or being able to restore:

To backup the system you MUST unlock the bootloader. This DOES erase ALL data on your Nexus 7 and you will start with a fresh out of box Nexus 7. So you can not backup your data because it is not unlocked, so you will HAVE to reinstall everything once you do unlock/root your device.

Hope this helps.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Milamber33:
Google backs up certain things to their servers automatically, and some backup apps can backup a fair amount of your stuff even without root access, so if you get something like MyBackup you won't necessarily lose everything. That being said, without root or an unlocked bootloader nothing can ever back up everything, so you will lose some things.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Macguyver:
Exactly, that's why I can't recommend enough anyone thinking about unlocking and rooting should do it as soon as they get it.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Milamber33:
True, just pointing out that there are ways to save at least SOME stuff. ;)
