Trying to lock bootloader

I am trying to lock the bootloader of my Grouper device, then I want to restore the factory image. When i try to lock, the device reboots but nothing happens, the bash script just says, "waiting for device"nothing ever happens, do I need to do something else. or is it all automatic. Can I skip the lock boot loader and still be able to restore to factory, or must the boot loader be locked first. thanks
[Nexus 7 Android Development] neo1691:
The device reboots and ? Does it boots in bootloader mode or just restarts itself back? Have you turned the USB debugging on? Do you have the right drivers
[Nexus 7 Android Development] melp57:
As sson as I hit the number for lock boot loader, my device goes into boot loader mode, sits there and nothing happens. On my Linux PC the bash script says damon started "waiting for Device" debug is on, and I gave permission for the linux comperter as instructed. As far as correct drivers installed, No drivers are required for Linux, and the device does respond when I hit the menu number to lock bootloader.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] neo1691:
And what about USB debugging?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] melp57:
It's on. via developer options
[Nexus 7 Android Development] neo1691:
Even I had some problems with this script, so I just installed adb and fastboot on my linux and it was just a matter of a few commands to unlock the bootloader. Now I don't know the exact command to lock it, maybe someone more knowledgeable migh shed some light on this!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] marathone:
Don't think this script is supported on x64.

Updated toolkit to version 2.4.0. Now supports Nexus 5, and TWRP Recovery. Google Factory Images updated too.

Hi! Works for Kitkat? I've a Nexus 7 (tilapia)

Thanks :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] tatelucas:
Yes! You're welcome!! :good:
[Nexus 7 Android Development] fabioccoelho:
Me again! I got unlocked bootloader, but I can't flash any recovery ... I tryied CMW and TWRP via your scripts, but doesn't works :( I'm stock recovery yet.

Thanks.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] tatelucas:
Please try Manual Mode and tell me what it happens.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] fabioccoelho:
Solved :)

Thankssssssssssssssssssssss a lot :good:
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Guntram:
There is some problem with the initial setup.

Flashing CWM worked fine (after the whole udev-mess for fastboot (which usually works as superuser, only, unless you add the special udev-lines. Maybe you could add a "use fastboot as super user"-option?).

But flashing TWRP required me to manually create devices/grouper/recovery/twrp. If not, I get the following (german - but easy to translate ;) ) error message:

ArchLinux and Nexus 7 [grouper] here,

Guntram
[Nexus 7 Android Development] tatelucas:
Yes, maybe the easier way is to ask the user root access at the beginning of the script. what do you think? I tried to add udev rules but it seems not working.

Thank you so much for this bug report, I have just updated the toolkit with the automatic creation of the folder twrp.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] danipoak:
I'm running this on OSX. I keep getting an "error device not found" when I try to root or install CWM. I know the device is connected as android file transfer opens up and I can see the device that way. I also double checked and I am in USB debugging mode.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] tatelucas:
Please try Manual Mode instead and tell me what happens.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] danipoak:
Thanks for the quick reply! I tried in manual and succeeded in getting CWM installed. I couldn't get it to root but I just took the su.zip file and manually stuck it on the N7 through android file transfer and flashed it myself and I got it working.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] tatelucas:
You're welcome! Why you couldn't root it with the toolkit? Tell me what happened so I can find out how to solve it. Thanks in advance!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Konstigt:
Tried to root my N4 with this tool (under Linux). Didn't work. Seems to be dependent on a custom recovery?

Root the device

Before starting the process your device must be in Android Debugging Mode.
In the following instructions you will learn how to do it:

1. Power on your device and connect the device to your PC via USB.
2. Go to 'Settings' >> 'Developer options', turn ON the switch,
and check 'USB debugging'. You're now in Android Debugging Mode!
Note: If you're running Android 4.2 or above, first go to
'Settings' >> 'About phone' and tap 7 times on 'Build number'.
3. Do you want to start the process? [Y/N]: Y

4. Wait for automatically reboot in Recovery Mode.
5. Go to 'install zip from sdcard' >> 'choose zip from sdcard' >> 'UNLT'
and choose 'su.zip'.
6. Go to 'Go back' >> 'reboot system now'.
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *

Press ENTER to return to the main menu...

After this the phone was just sitting in recovery (I think) with a android-logo and "No command" prompt..
[Nexus 7 Android Development] tatelucas:
Yes you have to flash a custom recovery. The full instructions to root it is:

1) unlock boot loader

2) flash a custom recovery

3) root it

Hope it helps!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] miniaturepeddler:
OMG! Thank you, thank you. Picked up a refurb Nexus 7 (2012) from Walmart, and it had 4.2.1 on it. The tablet successfully and happily began installing bought apps from the play store. Then the dreaded update screen arrived, would you like to upgrade to 4.3. Being the neophyte with the tablet and trusting google, the reply was "yes; install' It went through the entire reboot, install, upto 100 percent, then 'ERROR'. Now the tablet was soft bricked. No help from Google tech support. :( Given pat answeres to restore to factory from recovery, and this did not work. Trusted the Walmart return/replace policy and got a silly refund card. Back online, order another one and have it delivered.

This time after booting up and not taking time to install any new apps, checked for updates to os. Yep, 'Update available, please install" "ok" and it happens again: Soft Brick. This time I was prepared, I had researched and found your wonderful tool.

Installed this to my Macbook Pro, connected the softbricked tablet, went through the procedures:

1. unlock device (success)

2. Install CMW (success - though probably unnecessary)

3. Restore factory image (success)

Now the factory image installs 4.4 and boots successfully!

The tablet after connecting to the internet and my google account now informs me there is an update to 4.4.2 ok to install? I answer yes!!

Success!! its a good update.

So there seems to be some sort of update bug going from 4.2.1 to higher via the normal Google update route, but your tool allows us to bypass this and fix the tablet.

Thankyou

As for why I am posting all these details? Just in case someone else runs into this problem and would like to avoid the issue, I thought I would document it here.

BTW, one question, at the end, my tablet is still unlocked. this is ok, right? (unless I need to return it for some repair/warranty work), but given the lack of real support from google or Walmart at this point, I expect that I am the tech support person.

BTW, this was all just to give a gift to my spouse for Christmas (what a hassle) If I hadn't heard such good comments about the device here on XDA, I probably would have given up a lot earlier.

Have you considered moving the development of this script in a place like Github, so that we could contribute in an easy manner? I guess you are holding on code.google.com because of the downloads number tracking.

if you are having probe with the terminal it would be a good idea to do a bit of research as you can cause a LOT of damage !!....here is a page to show you how to change dir in osx (inc mavericks)

remember before you drag a file/ folder into terminal type the command in first ..ie cd (don't forget the space after the command)

hopefully this helps

Once you open your Terminal, type in the following:

So i've got a huge problem. I pretty much soft bricked my nexus 7 (2012). Doesn't sound that bad ha? Well it looks like none of my computers (windows 8, archLinux machine) can't connect to the device when it's in download mode. The toolkit(on linux) just shows "waiting for device" and doesn't start installing the factory image. Somebody an idea how I could get my device unbricked?!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Shlikstr:
Try it from bootloader mode instead download mode and see if it works.

By the way, great work [MENTION=4359077]tatelucas[/MENTION]. I've been looking for something like this! Also I would like to see it in Github like [MENTION=4145600]kissmyarch[/MENTION] said.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] tshot:
Works like a charm. Thanks.

You should add that we need to install the adb drivers.

On ubuntu: sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb

sudo apt-get install android-tools-fastboot

On Arch: Pacman -S android-tools-adb

Pacman -S android-tools-fastboot
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Angristan:

You do realize this hasn't been maintained for the good part of 5 years? If the links actually worked in the script, you would only be able to install Jelly Bean 4.2.2 with an ancient recovery version.

No promises, but if I get bored enough and can hold my attention span down long enough to work on it, I'll fork it and see if it's feasible to update for current devices and maintain.

I used the script to unlock the boot loader, then I manually flashed latest TWRP, then I realised that it's fairly easy to do everything manually as I used to do back in the day ;)

Perhaps the DEV of NFC Task launcher and the new feature that is releasing in the next update of app will allow this. Referenced here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=30263230&postcount=8

It would be easy if you say, found an APP that deleted message and browser history, and then set up a simple task launcher activity for that app to execute the activity. That way, you wouldn't have to use tasker (which I personally don't like- i dont want all these middle-men apps controlling everything)

Alright. I noticed this earlier today when I was cleaning my screen by breathing on my phone and wiping away with my shirt. While running my finger across the screen, I noticed some discoloration across the middle part of the screen as my finger slid past.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] MistaButters:
A lot of people talked about that with the international One X but I hadn't really noticed it on my AT&T One X. I guess it is because the LCD panel is actually glued to the glass.
