Lost my OTA,want it back!

N00b question: i have the JWR66V. Did root only without custom recovery, just as the root process ended, got the ota notification for JWR66Y, the update failed, got the little Android with Exclamation mark, needed to press the power for ten seconds for restart, mobile showed message upgrading android and updating applications however it went back to JWR66V.

Now i don't get the ota again :(

Do the tool make any modifications in stock file system that might prevent the OTA? , or i should wait for it?, i prefer to upgrade via OTA

Thanks for your support!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Sblesh:
Go to SuperSU-> settings -> complete unroot.

Then you can do ota update.

Just confirming selecting V build works fine on JWR66Y. Backup, unlock, root & restore..
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] NYLimited:
I was just testing the toolkit on a Nexus 7 and have a small request. Perhaps I misread something - not sure.

It seems that the kit can handle more than once device, yes? I was hoping to use it for a N7 and a N4. However, if I use it to do a TWRP backup and pull the files to the PC the kit does not seem to honor the device Id folder - that is the backup, by default, is pulled to the TWRP folder:

TWRP
2013-08-25--13-30-42

Using this method there is no way to tell which backup is the N7 and which is the N4. Ideally, I would hope that the pull should be matching the directory structure on the device:

TWRP
BACKUPS
015d3fbdce3c180e
2013-08-25--13-30-42

I realize I could type all this before starting the backup but it would be much easier (for me) for the app to simply pull the correct structure. :)

Thanks for your consideration!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Slymobi:
rename your backups via twrp before you perform the backup ;)

can i sideload customrom.zip??

and i want to format the whole system+data+cache and start afresh of sideloading customrom.zip and gapps.zip

so how to do it in this toolkit??

in mskips i used to format everything from recovery then reboot to bootloader and with option of sideloading select the custrom and flash customrom.zip
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] WugFresh:
I think what you mean is that you want to flash a custom ROM. You can do this with the toolkit via the flash zips button, with "file is on this computer" and automate everything. Or just put the zip on your sdcard and boot into custom recovery to wipe and flash.

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sid21:
No,

I want to format my system/data/sd/cache so in that way my phone would be all clean..

And later i wanna flash a custom rom..

But as known zip can be flashed with sideload if whole system/data etc is formated..

Is that possible? I did that in mskip 4.2.2 toolkit..
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] NYLimited:
Yes, I suppose that is another way but TWRP already does that by identifying the device...:cool:
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] WugFresh:
Please try the advice I gave you, it does exactly what you want. It provides the options for wiping data, cache and dalvik first, then flashing the custom ROM. That is the proper way to do a clean ROM install which is what you are trying to accomplish.

Hey guys, Im trying to install STOCK 4.3 (Y\V) and installation goes like everything works, but then it just stop in bootloader, saying it will take up to 5-10 minutes. But nothing has been installed... I can just click "Start" and my CM 10.2 launching like nothing happened.... any ideas ?

Booting up your freshly flashed stock device...
------------------------------------------------------------------

Wait for your device to finish booting up...

- It will appear to be boot looping; just wait...

- It could take 5-10 minutes; please be patient...

When its finally booted back up, please remember
to re-enable USB debugging if you plan on using
the toolkit to perform other operations.

Press any key to exit...

Hello everybody, I've just rooted using Wug toolkit and I'm experiencing some weird problems.

I had Android 4.3.

I have Nova Launcher Premium.

As you can see in the first 2 images I've attached, the widgets are looking strange, stretched, like they have a wrong resolution.

In landscape mode the desktop has a big margin on the left.

If you look at the third pic, there is no similar issue using the default launcher.

Apart from that, all the system is a little bit more laggy. I've lost smoothness and when I click something there's a little wait that wasn't there before.

What could it be?

Nova Launcher settings are ok.

The Android build that Wug Toolkit installed after unlocking, wiping and rooting is the same I had before. The installed apps are the same.

I've already done another wipe and i've installed Paranoid Android but the situation is the same.

The smoothness problem is there even with the default launcher.

That's really frustrating..

Thank you in advance!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] nyepo:
Hi WugFresh! I fixed my issue about not having my stock Nexus 4 rooted properly with your toolkit on 4.3.

Yesterday I recieved the new miniOTA update. As I thought I wasn't root (in fact, I really wasn't) just installed it, but the OTA installation failed. I tried to figure why, but first didn't understand anything. The OTA gave me an error, and I had to wipe cache. Then I was at 4.3 JWR66V again, not JWR66Y. I tried to install the update manually but got a permission error warning. This led me to think about supersu permissions and stuff it does when root. Then I found some guy on xda saying that he rooted his Nexus 4 but then the SuperSU icon/program was missing, so he installed it from Google Play and ta-da! He got root.

So that's the problem. My root process went perfectly OK except that I got no SuperSU app, so my device wasn't really rooted. Or maybe yes, but as the supersu app was missing, it rested in some "pre-root" status. Because if then (when you've rooted your Nexus 4 using your toolkit and supersu is missing) you simply install again SuperSU from Google Play, you'll be root again.

Then, I just used the "full unroot" supersu option and was able to push the update to JWR66Y via adb sideload. And then, rooted again. And again, supersu app was missing, but this time I knew what to do ;)

Hope this helps solving that "non pushing supersu app" issue!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] WugFresh:
:confused: There is no such issue nor has any other user reported that to me. The SU binaries and Superuser app get installed at the same time and in the same way. The app itself is not pushed... but rather a flashable zip is which installs everything and sets permissions. Again.. not sure why you experienced something different but I am guessing you either have a connectivity issue, specified the wrong device, or did something that disrupted the root procedure. That said, I bet if you actually tried what I originally suggested (to reflash stock and then just press the root button..) it would work. Regardless, glad you got your device sorted.

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sberla54:
Hey boss, sorry, have you got any suggestions about my strange problem? :)

I'm discussing the issue on the Nexus 4 Help Thread but nobody would seem to have any advice. Some don't even believe i have this problem. Some say all toolkits are crap :(
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Atomsk:
Hi! I'm trying to backup my nexus 4 with this toolkit, but i'm stuck in stage "waiting for device" (rebooting phase). Any idea to solve this?

Thanks
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] nyepo:
Some weeks ago I remember few users asking about same issue, I don't remember if it was in that thread or any other on xda. In fact, I got the solution from one of those guys, who explained he had no root after the process, and then just by downloading again SuperSU from Google Play was root again.

I'm completly at stock on Nexus 4, never touched anything from system apps nor something like that. Downloaded the appropiate model/version each time. Just was root on 4.2.1, then unroot to OTA --> 4.2.2. Root, then unroot for the 4.3 OTA ... and then SuperSU was not there.

BTW, not a major trouble, just installing the SuperSU app it's a nice and one easy solution for that issue!

And let me say again, your Nexus 4 Tookit is SUPERB, very non-expert friendly. I never rooted any phone before using your toolkit. And now I can even push files by adb sideload, flash radios ... very nice and professional job here. Congrats! :good:

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] xcooper:
could not find ADB device :(

I have problem with this toolkit to see my ADB device. I installed the universal ADB driver in Windows7, mskip's toolkit sees my device in both ADB and fastboot mode. This toolkit only recognize my nexus in fastboot mode. Is there any trick to make it recognize my nexus4 in ADB mode when the phone is on ?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] paradiselost28:
Why not using adb drivers provided by Android SDK ?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] borchaniz:
Does this toolkit unlock and root the jwr66y build on nexus 4 ? Thx in advance :)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] WugFresh:
Those are actually provided in the RAW driver solution in a sub folder.

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] WugFresh:
Yes, I keep this toolkit updated with the latest builds. If Google releases new builds, I typically will have the masterlists updated to enable full support within 48hours.

Custom Recovery

Which custom recovery would you recommend?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] edbertin:
Twrp
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] JARR3DF15CH3R:
i dont seem to have a recovery mode, i use the tool kit and try to boot into it and all i get us a screen that says "no command."
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] RealiZms:
Well this happens if you update OTA while rooted with a custom recovery. You keep root but have broken recovery. So you have to start over now.

Flash stock image+unroot>oem lock>oem unlock>root+install custom recovery.....Not sure if your cause was identical but this fixed the issue for me.

[MENTION=3110798]WugFresh[/MENTION], thank you for this toolkit, I have used it on all my Nexus devices and it is so handy. I sent you a "beer" via Paypal as a token of my appreciation. :)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ajrulez:
Thank you for this tool. It is a lifesaver, well phone-saver indeed.

I recently bought a Nexus 4 (due to the price drop), and today it received Android 4.3 OTA update. The phone did not boot after the OTA and was stuck at colored X (Nexus) logo. I tried several things - wipe, factory reset, numerous reboots - but none of those worked.

FInally I thought I'll do a Factory stock flash using your tool and it worked like a charm. It made my phone alive again.

A special comment on your tool - I love that it gives verbose feedback for all the steps. Most tools are not very verbose.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] parmijo11:
I disagree, you can simply reroot, then flash recovery again. That's what I did.

I'd like to get use of sixaxis app on my nexus 4. Therefore I do have a question. Is it possibe to root my device without affecting OTA ?

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] KevinChaos:
You have to unlock the bootloader in order to root. Doing so WILL wipe your phone. (the unlock process, not the root)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Ensifolk:
Thanks a lot

This is just AMAZING. Amazing Toolkit! Excellent UI. Works 100 % :) Unlocked, Rooted & Ready to play !
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] UZ7:
I would normally do this manually and step by step but I wanted to get it done without spending too much time on and it has been a smooth process, it will show you step by step on what to do (for those new to it), its good to learn the basics so you know what its actually doing but this is a good tool if you want to do it without having to type the commands and it automatically does it for you :good: so I must say pretty good toolkit for my 1 (now 2) day old N4. :silly:

Like it says its best to do it when you just got your device or have nothing on it because you would need to back it up as it will wipe everything on the phone so just back up, unlock, restore, root + recovery and you're good to go!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] peste19:
There is no way to root my nexus and not lose any of my data?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] tom1807:
Titanium Backup, the only way I know.

Unlocking the bootloader wipes always the data.

I can be wrong, but that's the case on all Nexus (I know it for sure Nexus 7)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] UZ7:
Yeah it does wipe it, I just backed up the necessity stuff and for the app/data the toolkit can back that stuff up onto the pc.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Q.Entity:
Approximately how long after the unock? It seems to be in bootloop mode. Should I reflash to stock and do it again?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] WugFresh:
Only around 5 minutes max. If you are bootlooping for longer than that you need to factory reset.

1. Hold down the power button to shut the device off

2. Restart the device holding all three buttons (vol up and down + power button)

3. In bootloader mode, switch the big green START to the red RECOVERY using the volume buttons

4. Enter stock recovery by pressing the power button

5. You will see an android on its back

6. Short press all three buttons at the same time (vol up and down + power button) to enter the stock recovery menu

7. Select "Factory Reset" with the volume buttons and press the power button to initiate it.

8. After the factory reset your device should boot up normally.

I would like to thank you for taking the time to code this toolkit. I received my Nexus 4 Yesterday and had it unlocked and rooted in minutes using your toolkit. Everything was very thoroughly explained and I particularly like how clicking on any button pops up an explanation before actually executing any code. Being familiar with all *nix variants and phone hacking in general I usually go for the most challenging method of root possible. I have to say that this was a pleasant first experience using a toolkit. I will be donating when I can because it is much deserved.

Thanks again,

Miles

I'm waiting my nexus to come and I'm going to use this awesome tool to root my phone.. I don't know if it was asked before but if I use this tool and unlock, root, and install recovery and remain with stock rom, if we have a new update from Google is it going to installed without any problem or I should go again to stock situation (lock bootloader again or whatever) :confused:

Edit

Hmmm I think I found my answer seems that I have to return to stock recovery and there is a button for this in the toolkit correct me if I'm wrong.. So root and unlocked bootloader remains as is and I can do ota updates?

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] WugFresh:
No you don't, but those files are really small. There are no cons to removing the folder. If you use the toolkits flash zips script in advanced utilities, that folder will just get recreated.

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] WugFresh:
Yes. I will always keep the toolkit up to date with the latest builds available. The I build the updater system, I don't have to release new Toolkit versions just to support new build releases. I can just upload certain files and edit certain raw info text on a remote server, and then tada, everyone gets served the new Masterlists - extending support of the toolkit for new builds. If a build ever gets released by google that you don't see listed, just notify me and I will do my best to get the masterlists updated within 48 hours.

You can root and install CWM in one shot, just check "and flash Custom recovery" under the root button, and change the recovery option to "CWM" in the toolkits options menu. Cheers.

I used this toolkit to root, unlock bootloader and to pass TWRP recovery.

Now I just have Franco kernel.and no custom rom.

To upgrade to 4.3, without messing with my data, are the following steps correct?

2 Change to stock kernel

3. Proceed with sideload update

Am I missing anything?

First unroot through Supersu application.

Then just download full official 4.3 Rom and use this Toolkit to flash only boot.img, radio.img and system.img through advanced Toolkit menu.

Then restart phone to be sure that it's booting normally. Finally use again Toolkit to flash again custom recovery and to Root.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] nyepo:
I am assuming that you made a mistake on "tock" and meant "root". If that is what is happening to you, I can help. I had the same issue (reported few pages before in this thread) and I found that in case your are fully stock, try to root with this toolkit, the process goes OK and smooth, you receive the final "congratulations you are root" message and you're really not, you just need to manually download the SuperSU app from Google Play Store. Then as soon as it gets installed you'll be root. For whatever reason this app does not automatically appears, even if the binaries are there. It's weird, but works :D

Note: always use option "full unroot" of SuperSU app before applying any OTA update.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] nyepo:
Hi WugFresh

SuperSU just released new 1.60v that, for what I've read in the changelog, may solve this issue some of us have. The one when the SuperSU app does not automatically appear at the end of the rooting process and you have to manually download it from Google Play Store.

Just to let you know if you want to update SuperSU files for NRT :p
