Please try what I suggested. Fully uninstalling ALL adb/fastboot drivers (step 1 of driver guide).. Rebooting your computer like it says (essential step), then reinstalling the drivers (solution #3), then trying the driver test. Also, please try rebooting your computer before using this toolkit if you were using a different one before, or try force closing any background instances of adb.exe/fastboot.exe. Like I said, drivers are associated with those processes, not the toolkit. If the you had drivers working correctly with adb.exe or fastboot.exe then they will work. Chances are something else is causing your problem.

That said, I noticed that 1wayjonny released newer universal drivers then the ones in this release, I will push an update out with those. But the signed google drivers which are included in driver solution #3 are all you need.

If you are still experiencing problems hit me up on gchat and we will see if we can get it resolved.

[Nexus 10 Android Development] Johan1976:
I have the same problem.

Fastboot device is not recognized in the GUI but if I run fastboot.exe from your installation it recognizes the device i.e. the correct driver is installed.
[Nexus 10 Android Development] WugFresh:
To clarify, when your device is in bootloader mode, connected via usb - and you use the toolkits list devices (fastboot) in quick tools, what happens?

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 10 Android Development] Johan1976:
I think it says something about failed fastboot connection. I'll check tomorrow. Anyway i'm unlocked now which was essential from start since that wipes the tablet. Now i'm prepared for root later on.

I think I have a nexus 7 not a nexus 10........... just disregard everything I said for a few minutes

SECOND EDIT: Thank you for your toolkit it works PERFECTLY if i use it correctly.
[Nexus 10 Android Development] digitalrurouni:
I got a question. I rooted my device successfully and installed TWRP. Perfect. Before I had done all that I had made a backup of the system using nexu root toolkit. Meaning PRIOR to unlock/root/TWRP. So now that I am rooted and have su and busybox installed, can I restore that backup I made? Will that mess anything up?

Also if Google pushes a new OTA tomorrow, will I need to do anything before I apply the OTA? I assume if I apply the OTA my root privileges will be gone yes?

Cheers and thanks in advance.
[Nexus 10 Android Development] jdog2115:

Yes you can restore, idk about the OTA however
[Nexus 10 Android Development] dreitzell78:
OP can correct me please, if you are on a stock rom, you should be able to receive an OTA. By receiving the OTA you will lose root, however that is easily fixed, just use the kit to reroot and you should be good to go.

Re: [Toolkit] Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit v1.6.2 [Updated 12/29/12] : Nexus 10 Thread

HOLD down pwr+volup+voldown until you get to the boot loader. Use vol up key to get the left sife to say recovery mode. Press power button and you'll get to an android guy with a red triangle. PRESS rapidly the three buttons over and over again till you get into recovery. Go to wipe>factory reset. Then reboot. Tell me if you need more help.

Question I have is that I am getting a Nexus 10 in the next few days (back in stock in the UK) and if I need to do an update, how would I backup data for the secondary user?

Hey guys, i have a problem:

Hi

I got an issue.

After unlocking I am stuck in a boot loop. I tried to hard reset bu the recovery that I try to get in has no options, I rather see a warning triangle above an android image.

edit:

GOT IT. my tablet was kinda hard on showing me the commands.
[Nexus 10 Android Development] Rodeojones:
Don't worry. All is well.

From the screen where you're seeing the android with the red triangle, push the power, volume up, and volume down buttons all at the same time, and do so repeatedly until you are able to see the recovery menu. Don't worry if it takes you 20+ times. It's some weird sort of pressing sequence that gets you there. It'll eventually happen. From there choose wipe data/factory reset then reboot. You'll be good to go from that point.
[Nexus 10 Android Development] springy:
Also one question:

http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/faqs/

OTA Updates + Updating Android

It says the following:

Answer: if your device is fully stock then you can take an OTA, basically… if you haven’t flashed a ROM or a custom recovery then (most likely) you should be able to take the OTA without any additional steps.

To clarify what “stock” means more specifically: Stock Android Recovery + No modifications to the system files

-----

As busybox is one of the apps that gets stored on /system/xbin does this count as modifying? If that is the case, can we uninstall busybox first before we do the OTA and then reapply it after? Again we are assuming that I only root and leave everything as stock with no custom recovery etc. I basically only want to restore app data and use something like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.quintstoffers.DataSync to sync my data,.
[Nexus 10 Android Development] WugFresh:
Busybox does add utilities to xbin but it shouldn't interfere with any requirements for ota's. If you start make patches to core system files, like various hacks, thats when you run into problems. You can install busybox without worry, no need to uninstall it first from my experience.

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 10 Android Development] springy:
Cheers for the info...

And a very Newbie question and I sure I might get shot down here, if I am running a custom kernel now, and then I flash the stock kernel back, would OTA work or does the kernel do too much modification to the system files (I don't think it does but I will ask).

Also you have a modified boot.img, I am also guessing this is temporary right and this does not affect or should not affect OTA?
[Nexus 10 Android Development] WugFresh:
Re: [Toolkit] Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit v1.6.2 [Updated 12/29/12] : Nexus 10 Thread

Your custom kernel occupies the boot partition. By flashing the stock kernel again you would be returning it back to a stock state.

The modified boot img utilized is only booted temporarily, not flashed.

[Nexus 10 Android Development] JediSooner:
For me, step 5 was the key in these instructions from factory-reset.com ...

If your tablet is on, power it off.

Press and hold Volume Up + Volume Down + Power until the device powers on. You should see an image of an Android lying on its back.

Press Volume Down twice, until the screen says "Recovery mode."

Press Power to restart into "Recovery mode." You should see an image of an Android with a Red triangle after a few minutes.

While holding down Power, tap Volume Up

Use the volume keys to scroll to "wipe data/factory reset" and press Power to select it

Scroll down to "Yes - erase all user data" and press Power to select it

[Nexus 10 Android Development] 53Spike:
Hello,

I made a full nandroid backup 10 days ago of the stock+root Android installation after using the Toolkit (used 1.6.1) to root the tablet. I did that so I would be able to revert back to stock if need be after trying out CM 10.1. I found that CM still required some refinement for manta so I wiped the system, did a factory reset and wiped the dalvic cache, then tried restoring the previous backup I made, of the stock system. The backup folder is 2.46GB big and the /data partition is split between two archives. When restoring, the system partition and first data archive seem to backup properly, but after that, the tablet reboots, omitting the second data archive which is pertinent for me to restore all of my apps.

I've installed the latest TWRP, version 2.4.0.0 just in case there was a bug.

How can I fix this and get my tablet back to normal?

Thanks XDA,

Spike

Note: My tablet isn't bricked, I can still boot my stock and CM backups after doing the incomplete restore but my apps and settings aren't all there.

Edit: I've just updated TWRP to 2.4.1.0 and get a little farther this time. It begins restoring the second /data archive but still reboots during the process.

Toolkit troubleshooting / help requested / early steps...

Is there any chance of getting a little help regarding the fact that using this WugFresh Nexus Root Toolkit, in the early steps of the procedure, it instructs to uninstall the current drivers via the toolkit's USBDeview, then eventually connect the tablet via USB again (after PC reboot, to get the device to show in Device Manager), at which time the plug-and-play nature of the device automatically loads the same drivers that were just uninstalled?! ... and when attempting to load different ones from the WugFresh Development folder, the computer (Win7 x64) states "Windows has determined the driver software for your device is up to date" and lists "MTP USB Device" on that screen, and "Nexus 10" on Device Manager under Portable Devices, therefore not allowing me to install the drivers from the WugFresh folder. I have attempted using different USB ports, 3.0 & 2.0... The ADB is not being found as a result of this difficulty I'm having with all three "Driver Solutions" offered in the toolkit. I have tried to resolve this more than a dozen different ways... Is there anything that can be done to get the correct drivers installed for ADB to work properly!?

Thank you so much in advance for any helpful suggestions!!!

Re: [Toolkit] Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit v1.6.2 [Updated 12/29/12] : Nexus 10 Thread

No, not unless someone comes up with a true exploit first. And in that case, Google would be quick to patch it. The fact that you have to unlock the device first is a testament to how strong the security is on the latest android builds. The root method used by this toolkit is not an exploit in any way.

[Nexus 10 Android Development] permutations:
I never unlocked a device in the past because it was irreversable, and instantly voided the warranty. That's why I always looked for a way to root without unlocking. But this is not the case with the Nexus 10. It doesn't instantly void the warranty, and you can re-lock it. I heard that Asus devices phone home with your serial number when unlocked - way different situation.

I have no interesting in flashing a custom ROM, but I like having root, and I like that an OTA update can never take away my root access. After an OTA update, I can easily and reliably reroot with this great utility that WugFresh has given us.

Thanks very much, WugFresh. It took a little fooling around with the device drivers, but it worked! Much appreciated.
[Nexus 10 Android Development] Droidavie:
So you're saying ASUS knows if we unlock the nexus 7 boot loader?
[Nexus 10 Android Development] permutations:
I read that if you unlock the ASUS TF700, an email is sent to ASUS with your serial number so your warranty is voided. If they do it with the TF700, why wouldn't they do it with everything they manufacture? I haven't verified this. I just read it on the xda forum somewhere - can't remember exactly where.
[Nexus 10 Android Development] WugFresh:
Because all Nexus devices (which means devices that are Google co-branded) have to adhere to strict guidelines created by Google regardless of the OEM's common/prior practices on other devices in their line. The Nexus line of devices must remain open, with no hindrance or restrictions to the unlocking process whatsoever beyond the standard fastboot-initiated confirmation/warning screen that appears when running the unlock command. The standardization of the Nexus line is what made this universal nexus root toolkit possible and allows me to continue to add support for future devices and builds.

Re: [Toolkit] Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit v1.6.2 [Updated 12/29/12] : Nexus 10 Thread

It's a bit different than that. With the TF700, the unlock procedure, which actually only partially unlocks the bootloader, is via a software utility from Asus that only works in conjunction with a server at Asus. When the server and the utility communicate to authorize unlocking, your serial number is recorded by the server.

Hello, I need some help. I have to return my N10 tomorrow, as it's my last day to return it.

I'm trying to downgrade to the stock ROM with Wug's Root Toolkit. I chose the option, "Back to Stock" -> "Flash Stock + Unroot", "Device is on/normal".

Everything seems to be going well, until when I get to the part where it says, "Booting up your freshly flashed stock device". But nothing happened. The Nexus is still in the bootloader with the android's chest open and the box with the option to START.

The toolkit itself couldn't download the stock ROM because it doesn't exist on the site. So I downloaded it from another site and in the toolkit chose that ".tar" image file. The MD5 was a match, so I don't know why it's not working.

What can I do? Like I said, it has to go in tomorrow.

Thanks.

I should add that I'm not using a modified rom. I am on Android version 4.2.2, that I upgraded to with this Root Toolkit. Do I even have to downgrade my rom? Can I just unroot and OEM lock it? (I also want to wipe the data clean before taking it in.)

Did you install the toolkit to the root of your hard drive? Like directly in your C drive or in a subfolder? The toolkit needs to be in at least one folder, the problem you are encountering is indicative that you installed it to the root of your hard disk. Try putting all the toolkit files in a folder so like C:\Wug\* rather than just C:\*

[Nexus 10 Android Development] GaleForce218:
I'm having some trouble getting past the initial setup/driver install phase. I was able to do it in the past using the RAW method however I had to return my tablet due to some defects past what I considered acceptable. I managed to get one that meets my expectations perfectly so I'm ready to really start playing with the device some more.

Anyway the first time around I had no issue installing the drivers that come with the toolkit. However this time around I don't know if I am missing a step or something but I just can't get my PC to not automatically install drivers the moment I connect the device. I already have Driver Auto Config disabled, with the setting to never install from Windows Update enabled.

I have no problem uninstalling the device and using USBDeview to remove all drivers however I keep getting to the point during the driver install where I have to plug the device in. Normally when plugging a device in that doesn't install drivers it would appear unconfigured in the device manager and from there I would be able to tell Windows what drivers to use. However when I plug my device in it just automatically goes straight to installing the drivers on its own and asking me how I want to open the device (browse in explorer, etc.).

So at this point I'm stuck because I can't install the drivers necessary to use the Root Toolkit. If I try to "Update Drivers" and select the specified directory it just tells me Windows has already determined the drivers are up to date.

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong here? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
