Mark,

I would just like to compliment you for what has to be infinite patience with us. Happy Holidays to you and yours and thank you for sharing your knowledge and the products you develop.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] fireslayer26:
Followed your video to the letter but still can not get root. It goes through the whole process but at every step, it says "adb server out of date. killing....." then restarts the server. I can unlock the bootloader fine, but nothing after that works. Any thoughts??

**UPDATE**

Got it to work on my laptop. Must have been some driver conflicts on my home PC.

[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] Silfar:
Hi there.

Followed all instructions. After the first reboot I seem to be stuck in "booting". :(

---------- Post added at 02:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:10 PM ----------

Got it, thanks!
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] sonicfishcake:
Thanks for the awesome tools! Donated today through the program (not a massive one unfortunately, but will get you a couple of beers at least)!

If everyone who uses the tool donates at least a small amount, hopefully you'll continue the great work for us.

Cheers!
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] gfunk0311:
available where?? you provide no links and do not update the OP
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] Lens Pirate:
Auto updates are part of the DONATION VERSION.. Send him a few bucks man!! This tool is worth it.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] duarian:
Agreed. People that come in here and mention that the OP isn't updated. Send him a few dollars. There's no minimum donation. He appreciates any amount. It is worth it to unlock the full version.

Urgent help required

Having trouble unrooting with the toolkit, I use option 9 in the toolkit to Download, Extract + Flash Google factory stock ROM, try to download the Google Stock Image, to my build and the download fails I get the following:-

http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/10/errordy.jpg/

This image shows it hasnt downloaded, and when I continue on with the toolkit from here, I get the message:-

Error: Can not open file as archive

I.e. the file doesnt exist since the previous step didnt download it. Can anyone help? Its due for return tommorow I really need to get it unrooted ASAP.

This is urgent, please assist.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] jagsaw:
I donated early this morning. How long does it usually take to receive the link?
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] Barguast:
After successfully rooting my Nexus 4 with the equivalent toolkit, I took the plunge and tried the same with my Nexus 10.

I'm completely stuck at the moment though. I'm using the latest version after donating. I started unlocking the bootloader and it rebooted into the red exclamation Android screen. The instructions said to hold the power button and press the right-most ('third from the left') button to get into stock recovery. It didn't. It rebooted and got into the boot loop on the Nexus 'X' screen.

Now I don't seem to be able to get into the recovery screen at all. I can get back to the fastboot screen, but it has the 'Downloading... Do not turn off target!' screen and the toolkit doesn't seem to detect the device anymore (no serial number is displayed in fastboot devices).

Please help. :(

EDIT: Crisis averted. No surprises, I was doing it wrong. Anyone with the same;

Hold down ALL THREE BUTTONS to get into Fastboot. This'll let you use the volume keys to find the recovery option. Select that. When the red exclamation with Android screen appears, hold the power button, press the right-most volume key... AND THEN RELEASE BOTH (this, I think, was the bit I failed to do, causing it to reboot). This will only the menu, from which you can do the wipe.

Hope it helps someone.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] Night Galaxy:
I have a question regarding unroot, and some other things.

I used your (awesome) toolkit to unroot my 10, flash stock ROM, and finally lock my bootloader, and thought I was pretty much good to go. Anyway, I updated to the 4.2 update that Google provides when first opening the tablet, and things appeared to proceed as normal. However, when it rebooted, after a bit I got an 'error' message, and the update cancelled. I tried to reboot, to no avail, and then I attempted to go into recovery, which just brought up the droid guy with a red triangle.

Then, I used the toolkit to unlock my bootloader, and I think I did (I got the error message again right after my recovery turned blue). Whenever I leave the N10 sitting on the error when I try to access my recovery, it reboots, but gets stuck on bootloop. Do you know what I can do about this, to get the tablet back to stock 4.2 and everything?

Thanks so much!
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] rayki:
you can download the 1.30 , then use auto-update function

thought Mark won't upload the first page link to current version. sigh.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] jagsaw:
Got it. He emailed me the activation code a little while ago.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] jagsaw:
I was rooted,(using a different method) but I decided to start over by wiping clean and flashing the stock image. I then used the toolkit (version 1.6) to unlock, root and install cwm. It appears to be unlocked, but there is no root access. I have tried this 3 different times, still no root. Anyone else have this problem?
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] shimp208:
Did you try rebooting after you rooted your tablet? Also try going into the SuperSU app and selecting the update binaries option and see if that helps.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] jagsaw:
yes, tried rebooting several times. also noticed that one time it didn't even install the superuser app. another time it did install it, but I got an error when I opened it. also noticed that cwm will not flash and stick.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] Night Galaxy:
One other thing: I, overcoming my idiocy, remembered how to access recovery :p

Anyway, I attempted to reflash stock google firmware, but got multiple error 404's when downloading, and the program said it was completed... which it wasn't, as far as I can tell. Anyway, do you have any advice about how to deal with this?
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] ProCision:
There are somethings that are worth just donating to, this is one of them. Great tool kit.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] edwards311:
Just got my Nexus 10.....donated, downloaded, unlocked, rooted and flashing in about 20 minutes flat!!! Thanx for everything mskip!!!!!!

Much pain in brain, strong sound like read aloud.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] flight777:
Ok I just want to have this perfectly clear before I root my Nexus 4 and 10 (sorry for the dumb question but these are my first nexus devices).

On the phones I owned before, rooting meant I voided my warranty. Although there where some ways to make it undone and unnoticable for the manufacturer (previous phone was a GS2 in which the binary counter had to be resetted with a jig and later with Triangle Away by ChainFire).

How is that for these devices? Does unlocking and rooting your device (keeping it on stock) permanently voids your warranty even if you relock it again? Are there any binary counters? And can I still update through the stock OTAs and keep root with Rootkeeper?

Thanks!
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] RainesX:
How do i do if im on 4.2.1 (jop40d)?

Only have jop40c as option in the toolkit.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] Lens Pirate:
Send a donation and get the updated version. WELL WORTH IT
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] RainesX:
hmm. will think about it :) thanks
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] jerryp7:
I have a stock JOP40C build from the earlier toolkit. Is there a way to upgrade to JOP40D without wiping everything?
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] lwfb:
I've got a big problem... My Nexus 10 does not boot into recovery or bootloader. I haven't even unlocked the bootloader. It's a new device. The toolkit recognized it in adb, but when I rebooted to bootloader it just hung and did not do anything for a few seconds then rebooted without unlocking.

Let me elaborate further... through adb I can reboot into bootloader, however, nothing appears on my screen. I am not a noob either, I own a Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4, and Nexus 7 (all unlocked and rooted) and have never seen something this bizarre before. Right now my Nexus 10 is stuck in a bootloop and I can not boot into recovery to save it.

Please help if you can.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] Lens Pirate:
Watch the video on you tube. I think your missing a step. Seems like there is s step where the screen comes up black and you have to do something. Its been a while since I did it.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] lwfb:
I'm not missing a step, when I boot into the bootloader or recovery there is just nothing on the screen. I was able to get it worked out though, by just pressing up to select 'yes' (although my screen stayed black in bootloader) and I'm unlocked now.

Thanks for answering though.

It's like my device somehow came with a borked bootloader, I need an updated bootloader.img if anyone has one for the Nexus 10...

Donated to the Toolkit by the way. I usually go old school and unlock and root manually, but in this instance I needed the Toolkit to do some of the work because I couldn't see what my device was doing. You've got a great product here Skip.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] codewisp:
mskip, can I also use the same activation code for the Galaxy Nexus toolkit? :fingers-crossed: This app is really helpful.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] Lens Pirate:
Yes exactly. That was the step I was talking about.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] AjSvb:
Just wanted to say thanks for such a great tool. Explained well and saved me from hours of frustration when I got a bootloop from another method. Lots of people and ways to do things out there, but too often their not well explained or abandoned at crucial moments...Thank you.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] lwfb:
So it's normal on this device for the boot loader to be completely invisible to the user, like the screen is powered off?

I've never encountered that before on a Nexus. Strange... Oh well, it's all good!

pls help me dont know how i can go to fastboot mode to flash cwm

[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] AjSvb:
I had the same thing a few hours ago. I had to try several times with the USB plugged in and then without until I finally got it to recovery mode. Power down completely.

I then used the UNBRICK option where it manually walks you through by pressing PWR then quickly pressing the vol button to get a new menu that allows you to wipe the data. This procedure got me back to stock. You should be OK just keep trying.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] kampfbestie:

How and where to donate?

Nevermind, I already figured out ! I donated, updated the awesome software and almost ready to rock and roll with the first steps

Hello,

How and Where to donate?

This is my first time that I am going to use a new root application since my old first generation android HTC G1 and I am very excited to try this wonderful application and learn a lot about it.

So first, I want to donate then download the app and follow instructions here and there. and if I have any issue, doubt or concern I will ask first before I do something wrong to google nexus 10.

Please tell me the right place to donate and follow the instructions after the donation to download the donation version:angel:

Thank you

Experts

I donated, already installed the drivers and I almost ready to connect my nexus 10.

I have several questions before I proceed to unlock and root my google nexus 10 device:

1) What are the first safest tips before I unlock and root?

2) Can I make a backup of my 4.2.1 stock os image before I unlock and root?

3) Any other tips in case that I want to put everything as it was before? I mean, to lock it and put it back the stock image 4.2.1

Thanks again, your input and your info is always appreciated.

:confused:
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] italia0101:
can i just use the 1.3 version to unlock my Nexus 10 with 4.2.1
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] rayosx:
I don't think so, I had to donate, to get to the latest version that is 1.6.0 and I could rooted it :) I was so worried because it was my first time and I was reading and reading all the steps, but I finally could do it :) I recommend you to read all the faq, check the first video and then proceed to donate to get your activaction code and then you can update for the latest version.

---------- Post added at 12:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:35 AM ----------

I am happily rooted I did the right test with the root checker and I am 100% rooted. :)

My question to you guys,

My concern is If I selected the Step 8 The all in one with the Toolkit, I'm rooted now,

can I still receive OTA updates and I am going to be still rooted and unlocked?

What else can I do with an unlocked bootloader and a rooted device besides to add custom roms?

1) I believe that I can run the Freeze Apps to remove those unwanted background and annoying apps and proccesses running and draining our Google Nexus 10 tablet.

2) Run GPS Fake apps

3) Overclock and play with those apps that put higher our cpu and lower, right ?

What else? Any more ideas? If am on the wrong place to ask this question please let me know and direct me to the right thread.

Thanks guys ! :)
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] mskip:
Yes you can just select the 4.2.0 build and it will work fine.

Mark.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] mskip:
If you are rooted with custom recovery then you can still OTA but you will lose root afterwards (but you can easily reroot again). You will not be relocked, the only way to relock the bootloader is to relock it manually or via the toolkit.

The main reason to root is to have access to your system files that are normally locked and cannot be altered. After rooting you can install apps that require root access such as SETCPU, Adfree, Titanium Backup and plenty of others. Unlocking the bootlooader is required to flash/boot image files but you dont need root for that.

Mark.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] mskip:
If you are stuck in a bootloop then you need to go into stock recovery and perform a wipe. The stock recovery is the Android laying on his back and to show the menu you need to hold and keep holding power and then quick press volume up.

To boot to fastboot mode you need to keep holding all the top 3 buttons (power, volume up, volume down) until the device reboots and loads the bootloader. Just keep holding them until it finishes, could take around 10 seconds.

[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] jerryp7:
Mark,

Is there a way to upgrade to JOP40D without wiping everything?
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] mskip:
Are you talking about a full rom flash or an OTA?

An OTA update will not wipe your device as it just patches files. I got an update notification to JOP40D this morning so I assume thats what you are reffering to. This should mean that a full version isnt that far away so I am uploading the JOP40C image to goo.im in anticipation of the link being removed. I am also adding the option to not format userdata when flashing a stock image using option 9 in the Toolkit. This will preserve the userdata partition and keep existing apps and Internal Storage (dirty flash).

Just make sure you flash back to stock recovery before accepting the OTA or it will fail.

Mark.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] jerryp7:
Actually I think when I received my N10 it had JOP40D (maybe I'm wrong) but I wanted to use the toolkit and root so flashed the JOP40C image. Now I'm not sure if or how I would get an OTA update but always wanting "the latest" I was thinking it might be safe to just flash the JOP40D on top of the 40C.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] jetguat:
Close to getting my fundamental question answered after reading all 24 pages of comments.

Just got my N10. Haven't turned it on. But I have it in mind that I would like to install Titanium Backup Pro. I have it on my Droid Bionic, it somewhat familiar with it, so I figure I would stick with its scheme to backup.

I dont want/need to install custom roms. happy with just the stock stuff.

It seems that in order to gain root access, I need to "unlock" Correct?

Looking at the screen snapshot in the first post. What are the recommended steps really to just get me to a point in which

1) I still get OTA updates

2) I can run TBpro to backup everything (hopefully this means multi-user as I hope to use that).

Thanks for the info.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] mskip:
You could have just selected the 4.2.0 build in the Model Selection screen to root your original 4.2.1 that came on the phone (I have said that quite a few times in the thread) :)

You cannot flash a full JOP40D image yet as it hasnt been released by google yet. You can download and flash the OTA update if you can find it on the forum, you will lose root but your device doesn't get wiped by flashing an OTA.

The latest Auto Updates adds the option to NOT format the userdata partition when flashing a full google stock image (the standard setting is to format and wipe) so you will not lose any data or settings if you get the Auto Update and select that option. Of course this isn't relevant yet as there is only 1 stock image available but I added it for future releases or if someone needs to reflash their stock image.

Mark.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] mskip:
If you don't want a custom Recovery on your device and don't need busybox (used for certain actions such as NAND backups) then the steps would be the following:

1. Enable the developer options screen and enable usb debugging

2. Install drivers and make sure they work in fastboot and adb

3. Unlock the bootloader (this will wipe your device)

4. Select plain root (option 1) in the root/unroot section

This will give you the root you require for titanium backup and keeping stock recovery will give you OTA updates without having to flash back to stock recovery before accepting.

NEXUS 10 TOOLKIT AUTO UPDATE V1.6.5 [20TH DEC 2012] AVAILABLE!!

Changelog:

+Updated CWM Touch Recovery to 6.0.2.3

+Fixed NAND Backup Restore option being pushed to wrong folder so cwm can now find the folder

+Added option to Stock Image flash to not format userdata [no wipe]

+Added TWRP to all Recovery Sideload options including root/unroot

+Updated JOP40C Stock Image link in download/flash section to goo.im link

For people who do not want or cannot get the Auto Update versions you can download cwm touch 6.0.2.3 from http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.2.3-manta.img and flash it via the Toolkit. To fix the NAND backup being pushed to the wrong location just find the timestamped backup folder in /sdcard/ after it has been pushed back to your device and move it to /data/media/

I have uploaded all google stock images to my goo.im developer page (link in my signature) aswell as all my toolkits so if you ever need to redownload a stock image they will be available there and I will keep them updated so that when google update to a new build (and delete the old version) you can still get it.

[Auto Updates are only accessible if you have donated to the Toolkit project, received an activation code and unlocked the donator 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 donator 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 negative views about this please pm me about them and do not post your views in the open thread]

Enjoy :)

Unlocked, recovery, but boot loop
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] KestrelX:
I'm cringing because I have a feeling this is a dumb question, but i've been searching and can't find the answer. Can I use to the toolkit to flash CM nightlies and gapps? I have unlocked, rooted, installed busy box and CWM.. but this will be my first time installing a custom rom. I don't want to screw it up!

If the answer is yes, would i unzip the file on my computer and use the boot.img and option 11 from the toolkit main menu? or use the zip file and use number 16? I see that I should copy whichever files I use into the toolkit directory structure on my computer.

TIA

UPDATE: NM i have cm installed now

Got the google image direct from the site and put it in the folder, but still bootloops, tried to make an odin tar, but it's not doing it, can anyone give me a link any rom image in odin tar form to see if it will get out of bootloop?

---------- Post added at 12:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:37 AM ----------

I have no idea why, but the cf auto root worked?!?! Maybe because of the bootimage, hell I know, but fuuu, thank god.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] jetguat:
Ahhh.. great info thanks! one extra nuggest that I believe is implied in there. if I didnt select plain root (option 1) and such it wasnt the stock recovery, rather I choose option #3 (cwm recovery + root) or #4 (cwm recovery + root + busybox + rename restore files). Would I no longer get OTA? Or would I get the notification to OTA and it just wouldnt work until I put the "stock recovery" back on?

Didnt see an option to put stock recovery back, so I'm guessing I'd need a full backup of my device before the cwm recovery was added? or would I just option option #10 after I rooted with option #4.

Lastly. whats the "rename restore files" all about.
