Re: [Toolkit] Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit v1.6.3 [Updated 02/24/13]: Nexus 4 Thread

Thanks wug... Great work, notice you changed the interface... Would it be the same steps as it was before if not mind giving a run down? Thanks again
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] WugFresh:
No interface change, I just showed both interfaces in the OP. The one with lots of buttons is the advanced utilities interface. The main interface is still the familiar one and the advanced one now just has some more features.

Re: [Toolkit] Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit v1.6.3 [Updated 02/24/13]: Nexus 4 Thread

Thnks for the update just put my phone back to stock 4.2.2 with it and rooted it works good
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] papo08:
Ive been having fits with my nexus 7 devices that I have been rooting.

this latest 1.6.3 will unlock (a couple of attempts) but when I get to root, it goes into bootloader fine, says its sending over files. then I get "rooting instructions"pop up. Team win recovery project stuff.

?? What is this? I never get another screen. The nexus is stuck on the bootloader screen says "booting downloaded image" and that screen never goes away. buttons dont do anything, unpluggin it does nothing. a very long hold of the power button will finally restart it.

Ive tried 1.6.3 on both 4.2.1 and 4.2.2 both have the same result. have also restored to factory. same result.

Any help?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] WugFresh:
Make sure you are specifying the correct device and build in the toolkit. Maybe you have a Nexus 7 3g version? Or you are selecting the wrong build? You can always use 'Any Build' mode for your device instead to root it, but I have a Nexus 7 and I can assure you it works if you specify the correct device and build in the toolkit.

Other things to try would be reinstalling drivers, trying an alternative usb port, or if you wan't, just use 'Any Build' mode instead.

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] papo08:
ill take part blame since I had my version screwed up after the update. but all is well now in that section now

Now, I am completely unable to unlock. it goes through the process as normal, looks like its working but never comes to the restart bootloader screen im accustomed to. device boots back up but no changes have been made and is still locked. I have updated the drivers, rebooted the pc and the tablet a few times, uninstalled and reinstalled drivers and uninstalled all things google/nexus related in usbdeview. Ive done dozens of these, im not sure where I am going wrong now

ive also now tried anybuild. same problem

Hey Wugfresh help please

Hi Wug

Just installed version 1.6.3 of your great toolkit on my Nexus 4 and am having some snags. I am running 4.2.1 rooted and cannot seem to update to 4.2.2. I have tried to use the advanced utilities and flash the 4.2.2 zip file. I get as far as the point where I boot in to TWRP recovery where it seems to stop and go no further. I then rebooted the phone and tried to do the "flash to stock and unroot" option. This takes me to the screen attached and then once again it goes no further. :(

The phone is showing that it is in fastboot mode with start at the top of the screen. Any ideas whats up please Wug?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] nyepo:
First of all: THANKS WUGFRESH, I rooted my Nexus 4 with 4.2.1 and now with 4.2.2 in 10 min with no issues. You're the man :D

I just rooted, not installed any custom recovery, as I wanna be OTAupdateable (just root for minor tweaks, backups with titanium, and that stuff)

Now, two questions:

1) Can I make a Nandroid backup now? Wugfresh toolkit says I can, as far as my nexus 4 is unlocked (it is) and rooted (it is, too), and offers a way to do it. Do I need any custom recovery to make a backup or Wugfresh will do it even if I have the original stock recovery? Having a custom recovery is a must to do nandroid backups, as some people told me? Making a nandroid with WugFresh will work, even if I have the original stock Recovery? Could I restore it later without, again, having to install a custom recovery?

2) Busybox. What differences are there between a rooted Nexus 4 with Busybox installed (as I am) and a rooted Nexus 4 without it? If I uninstall it now, what happens? Still root? Brick my phone? I need BusyBox for my minor tweaks?

I read somewhere here in xda-developers forums -> updating BusyBox to a new version causes stock original Recovery to brick your phone. So, how can i update busybox? I really need to or can go without touching anything? (wugfresh 1.6.3 installed me a BusyBox that is not the last, but I don't really care).

Thanks!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] papo08:
im still completely stuck Wug. my nexus 7 3g will not unlock. all looks normal, but it never gets to bootloader screen and it just reboots and nothing has changed. multiple units, multiple attempts at model type and version. 4.12 and 4.22, wug 1.62 and 1.63. uninstall/reinstall drivers etc etc. im lost. it was working perfect the past couple mos.

also, the hold down power + up&down volume to get to bootlader screen does not work.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] WugFresh:
Yes, the toolkit will make backups with custom recovery, however it will use the custom recovery temporarily, as in - it won't permanently flash the custom recovery, just use it to make the backup and it will leave your stock recovery in tact. And yes, you can restore with the toolkit in the same manner.

Busybox is a bundle of applets that are basically miniaturized versions of the most common utilities found on linux systems, it extends the functionality of your system. Many root apps require busybox. Many top level devs encourage other devs to move away from reliance on busybox and rather include all their dependencies in their own apps - I also agree that this is probably better practice. That said, many apps still require busybox. The toolkit just installs the user app busybox, which is an installer for busybox. Its not until the user actually installs it through that app that those applets get installed. You can uninstall the app, but the actual applets will remain unless you go into your system and remove them.

Regarding "I read somewhere here in xda-developers forums -> updating BusyBox to a new version causes stock original Recovery to brick your phone." <-- I don't know what you are referring to here. Maybe provide a link to what you are talking about. If you follow the instructions in v1.6.3 to install busbox to /xbin instead of bin then it truly won't effect any of your core system utilities.

Hope that helps explain things a little..

Cheers.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] xpresotw:
simply tool ever... love love love
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] nyepo:
Thank you very much for your explanations

1) I'll do my backup so :cowboy:

2) Busybox: Now I understand the difference between the app installer and the "installation" itself.

So just one little extra question: I used the app installer to effectively install busybox when I was root at Android 4.2.1, then, I got the OTAupdate, lost root and rerooted again with WugFresh 1.6.3 with Android 4.2.2. Now the busybox I installed with 4.2.1 is still there? (not the app, the applets). If I install the new version (not the app, the applets) it will overwrite? Or busybox 4.2.1 are not there anymore?

I can't find where I read those sentences about busybox. I think it was some guy who installed one busybox version on /bin and one newer version on /xbin, so phone got bricked (so I'm fear not going to that, hehe).

I attached a screenshot of my busybox home screen. It says, as you can see:

BusyBox v 1.20.2-Stericson is installed

BusyBox is installed to /system/bin

(and then)

| BusyBox 1.20.2 (choose version) | will be installed to | /system/bin (choose path)

(and then)

Some crossed options with all little applets, and in green:

Applet is symlinked/installed

Simlynked to: /system/bin/busybox

So I suppose old BusyBox applets are installed on /system/bin, isn't it? I must manually uninstall that applet busybox version and then install the updated version to /system/xbin ? (first updating the app itself from Google Play).

(Sorry, I know BusyBox it's not your issue!)

Last note: I didn't see any instruction on rootkit v 1.6.3 asking me something about busybox applets path

Thank you again for all your efforts and the rootkit :)

In preperation for my Nexus 4 arrival on Monday I am attempting to get this amazing looking toolkit set up. I was going to do the basics like install drivers etc. I keep getting this blasted error message. The toolkit installs perfectly and then states I need some additional downloads. Updated SU.zip a stock boot image and then also TWRP as well. The issue is the download gets to 1% says "complete"! and then says there is a NRT Download Hashcheck-Mismatch. Is this related to the Gooim issues? I have been trying to do this for about an hour to no avail. I even uninstalled the toolkit and tried again. I am on windows 7. Any thoughts on this? :confused:

Yes of course. Just run it with the older versions as twrp can be updated via goo app anyway. Weird though your problem. Have you definitely installed all the drivers and run the initial setup full driver guide - automatic + manual on toolkit to check.

I would just turn debugging on in my phone hook it up and run initial set up and follow prompts. Then give it a go.

Re: [Toolkit] Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit v1.6.3 [Updated 02/24/13]: Nexus 4 Thread

Have you tried pressing ok to that prompt? That message is there in case goo.im isn't allowing an automatic direct download through the toolkit. This can happen because of download limitations, stress on goo's servers, your network configurations, etc. By pressing ok you will be able to proceed and given instructions and a direct link.

Please don't consider every message an "error". Just read what it says and proceed.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] jcnbama:
You know, I actually did do that. It gives me the pop up box, ( see attached image ) and gives me an option to manually insert a web address to pull the file from. Unfortunately, I do not have an alternate web address to DL the needed files from. I apologize. I should have mentioned having already tried that originally. I absolutely understand that it is not an error message and what your saying is EXACTLY what I was thinking that goo.im is having server trouble. I am also not able to DL the toolkit directly from your goo.im direct DL link either it says the page can not be found. However, this does not seem to be affecting other people using the same tool over the last 24 hours. Nevertheless. If you have any other alternate DL link I could copy and past in this NRT Downloader box I will be glad to do it. NRT Downloader is asking for Updated SU , TWRP, and modified_boot_occam files. Any help you could give would be awesome! Thanks!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] WugFresh:
Re: [Toolkit] Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit v1.6.3 [Updated 02/24/13]: Nexus 4 Thread

Oh, so you are saying that when you click on the direct download link (blue underlined text on that screenshot) you are getting a page cannot be found on goo.im's site? If so, that is most likely related to goo.im flushing and rebuilding their search index, which caused lots of problems for everyone a few days ago, and for whatever reason you are still not getting the rebuilt web address.

In that case you are right and need an alternate link to those files (which unfortunately I can't personally provide you at this time because I am still on break and away from my computers... But maybe someone else could..), or maybe you should try flushing your computers dns: Start > cmd.exe > then in command prompt enter:

ipconfig /flushdns

Then try again or hardrefesh the direct DL link (ctrl+F5 or shift+F5 depending on what browser you are using).

And to be clear that prompt is not asking you to enter a direct download link, its asking-for/displaying the local path to the file on your physical computer, that's why there is a 'Browse' button next to the input field.

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] jcnbama:
So, I did as instructed. I cleared the dns cache. I also cleared the browser history, cache, etc. Uninstalled the toolkit, restarted and then started all over. The same end result. I also clicked the blue hyper link in the DL and then got an error message. ( see attached ). This is happening on BOTH my PC's. So , is it okay just to use the toolkit as is? I can update the files later? Superuser and TWRP? Will it work as is?

Edit: I have completed rooting my device using the toolkit. I don't even wanna talk about all the crazy unexplained things that happened. LOL. But whatever, it works and if you have any common sense you can workaround things when they don't go the way you think they would. Thanks for the help guys!

I did a search on this thread, hoping that someone asked this question before me, but to no avail.

I made a full android backup file right before I unlocked and rooted, and now when I restore, my phone doesn't get anything. I'm in airplane mode, debugging is turned on, and the tool tells me that it is a success.

This backup is supposed to restore all my apps, settings, wallpapers, etc. right?

Hi WugFresh,

Just downloaded your toolkit, seems very nice and friendly :)

I have a question, I want to use this script to wipe everything, meaning data, cache, system and even sdcard before installing a new rom. To do this I need to learn how to push files to my sdcard (after wiping) cause otherwise I'm screwed...

I tried pushing files using your toolkit but I can't manage to get it done. I tried pushing the file to /storage/emulated/0 and /storage/emulated/legacy but none of it worked. What is the correct file path I need to choose?

Also, it is possible to push files while in recovery, if system has been wiped, right?

Thanks.
