This can root 4.2.2 in the easy way and if want to go back to stock by the time when android 5.0 arrives? Thinking so much of rooting, but I want stock key lime pay in the moment
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Blaaargh:
There is an option to unroot as well.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] playya:
I must admit as long as I have been using android and rooting the above statement always puzzled me. People who go back to stock to upgrade to root again? 99% of the time there will a stock rooted version out that would be fully upgradeable for most. I have seen many update back in the old Evo days and have their bootloader locked and then could not re-root again for months.

Rooting and un-rooting has come along way from the 40 steps it took back in the day. Root your phone man enjoy it then wait to see if a rooted version of key lime comes out. Just my two cents! No Hate! :D
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ScudMuffin:
Awesome tool. I'm unlocked and trying to root. It gets into TWRP and the tool is at "Waiting for your device to finish booting back up..." and I look at the phone and TWRP is still up and I hit the status and it says "Updating partition details..." and doesn't continue. It's been about 15min. Anyone have a clue what might cause this?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Nethojs29:
Kinda getting ready to download the toolkit, just one last question. Since nexus 4 provides pure android and it's development friendly. Almost all the roms have no bugs? Since I only know about buggy roms of galaxy ace
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Slender Troll:
No ROM has 0 bugs. In fact no version of android has 0 bugs. It's just a matter of choosing the one you want, and reporting any bugs you find so they can be fixed.

I used an advanced mode to slash 'stock recovery' everything was successful however when I good to recovery all it does is a fallen android with red warning in the belly appears, any one knows whats wrong?

I need stock recovery to fix the storage issue, but I don;t want to flash all to stock,

Thanks
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] WugFresh:
That is the stock recovery. To bring up the stock recovery menu, short press all three buttons at the same time.

The android on its back with the exclamation point is the stock recovery prescreen.

I really wish that Google changed this to something more obvious.

That said.. Not sure how stock recovery is going to fix a "storage issue". All it can do is factory reset which reverts system settings to default and wipes the data and cache partitions.

If you have a real storage issue than you should consider using a custom recovery to reformat your sdcard, and then ise the toolkit to flash Stock... Do in so will wipe your data so backup your important stuff first n

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] odeccacccp:
Do I press all three buttons once I see the dead andorid or prior( instead of volume down+power).

That's exactly what I need to do, just clean and reset, I have the 16GB showing as 8GB bug, and cleaning/reset in stock recovery fixes the problem.

I already did flash stock img and did the reset through the ROM (fix the issue), but thank you very much for your help I will know for next time if it happens.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] WugFresh:
Yes, when you see the "dead android", not prior. That is what I was trying to convey; that dead looking android is actually the stock recovery, just with the menu hidden. I think that image is very misleading though and I understand why most people immediately assume something went wrong.

Google should write the instructions on that screen, or change that image to also say: "Stock Recovery" or something better.

Nothing against the other toolkit but with that one I couldn't get working but rooting my girlfriend's N4 with yours was a friggen breeze. Well done man! Really really well done program. It was a great experience. I got my N4 already rooted, Rom'd, and custom recovery so I never had to start with a stock N4 before and this toolkit is excellent!

Update

As some time went over since the last update, I just wanted to know when you plan to release v1.6.4, and if you'll include the Holo UI which some user has already designed and posted in this thread. Kinda like it ;) :)

Don't get angry because I'm asking, as I'm not asking for an ETA but just for the next update!

Cheers and keep your good work up! :good:

The TWRP version is a little outdated (2.5.0 is now out) but other than that, brilliant and thanks.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] WugFresh:
Yeah sorry I know. The updater needs updating, its not functioning properly. Next time I get a chance I will push v1.6.4. I am just swamped with school work now. I am a senior and I have to finish my thesis. :eek:

I wouldn't say its not functioning properly, I Rooted my phone last week and the funny thing is, I never had a phone before let alone rooting it.

But it was smooth and worked perfectly.

This may sound silly, however, are we able to replace TWRP 2.4.1.0 with newer 2.5.0.0 version?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] The H:
Yes you can, I updated mine and it worked.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] WugFresh:
Yes. If you were to put it in the toolkits /data/custom_recovery/twrp/ folder the program should automatically recognized that its the latest version and use it for subsequent operation like rooting. You can also flash it with the toolkits flash to recovery button in advanced utilities, or just grab the goo.im app from the playstore and use it to flash the latest TWRP version.

that's fine, i've already rooted and protect the root with supercurio's app, btw i need to know what relocking does, cuz i won't wipe again my device (im lazy, cuz this means that i should reinstall everything again) :P

I uninstalled and installed the drivers yesterday with the toolkit, but now I can't access my nexus 4s emulated storage on my PC via mtp anymore... ptp works but like that I can't see my files.... :( the devices though is detected but only as an Android ADB Interface device :eek: is there a way or some drivers to install to get that mtp working again?

edit: Okay got it now, i checked delete the drivers when uninstalling it as an adb device and now it shows up normally ;)

Maybe you could adjust the driver setup with step 1 "test drivers" as windows configures the drivers itself. They seem to work because after the normal install i get a success message ;)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] MrKaupo:
If yo uskip custom recovery, yo ujsut to root one more time with custom recover ticked.*

When I click root with custom recovery checked what exactly did it do? Did it make a backup or do I have to make one, how do I check for the custom recovery it made?

if you select custom recovery you'll install the custom recovery, just boot into recovery mode and see (default is TWR recovery).

[MENTION=3110798]WugFresh[/MENTION]: what about re-locking?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Zurginator:
"Flash Stock + Unroot" isn't doing anything at all for me. I did the full driver installation, and the test reads success. I'm on W8 Pro x64, N4 is on Paranoid Android 3.

I perform the auto download option, and here are things that seem interesting:

archive does not contain 'boot.sig'

archive does not contain 'recovery.sig'

archive does not contain 'system.sig'

*stuff*

checking version-baseband...

FAILED

Device version-baseband is 'm9615a-cefwmazm-2.0.1700.33'.

Update requires 'm9615a-cefwmazm-2.0.1700.48'.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] WugFresh:
The not contain sig files can be ignored. This is always displayed because Google doesn't include sig files for nexus devices as they are not needed with an unlocked bootloader which is a prerequisite for flashing stock anyway.

The error you are getting afterwards is telling you the solution. The package is looking for a newer baseband.

To solve this, use advanced utilities (flash to baseband button) to just flash the latest radio.img. You can find that in the Google factory image packages on their site.

Then try flashing stock again.

I was thinking about integrating a feature in 1.6.4 called no-checks flash, which will override all that and flash stock without any assert checks.. But I am scared that people will use it incorrectly and screw up their device... So for now, the manual step for your situation is recommended.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] TecQuality:
just re-locked: fortunately nothing happened :)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] WugFresh:
There is no point in being rooted and locked. Then if you ever need to flash anything, you will be forced to unlock again which will wipe data. I am pretty sure that I wrote an extensive response about this somewhere in this thread already. I will try and find it and link you to it.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] bassbox:
Stock nexus 4 4.2.2

Can i just backup unlock root restore? What will I lose? Settings? Home screen? Apps?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] WugFresh:
Oh, well then in that case - to answer your question specifically; although the toolkit specifies that you should "Flash Stock + Unroot" first before relocking the device (as most people only relock for the purpose of returning it - so it should be stock), it is actually not a prerequisite for relocking. When you utilize the "OEM Lock" button, the toolkit just boots your device into bootloader mode and issues the commaned "fastboot oem lock" which relocks the bootloader. Interestingly, this works even if you are rooted or running a custom ROM (assuming you aren't running a modified bootloader). There is actually a root app I believe in the playstore that will unlock and relock the bootloader without wiping once you are rooted. So I suppose you could go ahead and do this, if you want the security of a locked bootloader. Cheers.

simple question, is it possible to unroot with this toolkit without having to reflash stock rom, I mean just deleting the superuser....
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] scream4cheese:
As long as you don't have a custom recovery installed.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] raven198:
Quick question, I think I know the answer but wanted to confirm. I have unlocked the bootloader, and rooted, and left the rest alone wanting to try the "Google" experience. I miss some of the small tweaks that come with custom roms. So, can I download TWRP straight from GOO.IM or do I need to use the Toolkit for anything that could possibly be missed? I'm coming from the HTC Amaze, and so far everything for me is good, but just wanted to be sure.

how?

I cant find the unroot option, it appears "back to stock , flash stock+ unroot" I just want to "unroot" not flashing anything....

Hi,

I have tried to download the exe file but right after the download is complete, the trend micro virus protection deletes the file because it sees it as a spyware.

Has anybody encountered this issue with their virus protection programs?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] WugFresh:
Yes, I have seen my program be falsely flagged numerous times. The best thing to do is to send a report to your AV program and they will review it in their labs and ultimately determine its safe. I have already personally dealt with Avira and Bitdefender in the past and both of them white listed my files and updated their virus databases to remove the false flag, but its nearly impossible for me to contact every AV company. Either report the file to your AV provider for further review or manually disable your AV when installing it and white list the exe's. As the sole developer of this project I can give you my personal word that everything is safe, if you don't believe me, ask your AV to check it out or check what other end users say. Cheers.

Hello,

maybe is here the answer, but I don't know where.

I use NRT 1.6.3 and is superb. But I have one trouble. If I want copy all files from Virtual SD to my PC (using COPY and PASTE in Windows or NRT Backup -> Backup Virtual SDcard -> button Backup data/media when I'm on Android in System or in Recovery), allways copy procedure stops on folder Android...

1) Why? Is some possibilities to copy this folder?

2) Is some possibility to skip copy this folder during using function in NRT (Backup Virtual SDcard)

Have somebody the same trouble as me?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Slymobi:
Hi.

1st the tool kit works perfect.

Take it easy on me please,I've never done a log cat before but need confirmation if this is OK ?

Plug phone into PC.

Open wug tool.

Open cmd from tool kit.

adb logcat

adb logcat

Reboot phone.

Reproduce error/bug I'm trying to log.

Now either select all and copy into .txt file or use tool kit log cat generator and save to desktop in verbose.?

Will this provide the needed .txt with the bug.

I've done it a few times and it records stuff when interacting with phone etc so I think its doing it correct. Is there any sensitive data recorded this way that I shouldn't share ?

Good question. I'm curious as well.

I didn't put a kernel on mine, and I was thinking about using Franco as well. I want to keep the ROM stock.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] WugFresh:
Yes, flash stock will get you back to stock as long as you can access bootloader mode. That means that it will work with custom firmware and with your device soft bricked. You can go ahead and experiment with different kernels. The toolkit also has a button in advanced utilities just for restoring the stock kernel for your device, so you can do that too if thats all you need. Cheers.
