I thought about it, but nobody wants to even discuss it:

What about incorporating the tool kit into a Linux Live CD image?

I might be wrong, but aren't Linux users having no issues?

If the drivers, tools, etc were all 'installed' in the image don't you then have a totally controlled environment from which to work?

Any computer that can boot from CD regardless of its own installed OS should be able to run it, correct?

No installing, uninstalling of drivers, choosing which method of installation...

Sounds like it could work..... Or am I totally misunderstanding the concept?

I've used live distro CDs to diagnose and repair systems and hard drives that couldn't boot or had otherwise corrupted hard drives, so it just came to mind as a possible way of streamlining the 'installation' and making support much easier.

If I'm totally off in left field somewhere, never mind.. :beer:

thanks for the hints on the last page, i finally got this done by dumb luck. deauthorizing worked ... i had the tablet connected when i uninstalled the #1 driver solution and finally: there it was ...

toolkit worked wonderfully and without any trouble for my 32gb lte 2013 nexus. unlocked the bootloader, installed recovery and rooted. thanks so much for this great solution ... no on to my next adventure ... mtp mode isn`t recognized only camera mode, no way to get a usb connection to copy things on my nexus ... damn drivers ... haha
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] WugFresh:
Yeah, making a live linux custom distro iso would be entirely feasible, however this program is still coded in a windows only language. If I succeed at rescripting everything in a cross-platform language like python or java then I will be able to make live discs an available option. For now, the program remains Windows native.

find it so hard to believe that for the past two hours I've been trying to install the nexus 7 drivers. I've uninstalled and reinstalled, rebooted, check debugging, check mtp and can't get this freaking tablet to be visible on my windows 7 pc.. I have two tablets (mines and my wife) both are now unlocked and rooted with Wu tool kit. One has clean rom and the other does not. I've been trying to copy the rom via pc. I was successful the first time around but now my pc can't see both tablets. so Frustrating. never experience such a problem installing drivers for any other programs,devices ect. Don't know what else to do.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] WugFresh:
Try alternate usb ports rather than plug both devices in the same port. Also try restarting your computer.

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] DC_MTP:
Thanks I've done that as well. my other two ports are usb 3.0 if that matters.Restarted my pc about 32 times in the past hour or so.

what's driving me crazy is that the first time i went through the process I was able to my tablet and transfer music and movies. then I go through the process of rooting my wife's tablet but not able to see it on pc. i went through USBDeview and uninstalled all recommendations.

AMEN brother.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] WugFresh:
Ok. Send me a message on gplus hangouts, if I am free later today I can probably help you get your drivers sorted.

To clarify, there are a few things at play. There are the adb/fastboot drivers which are the ones that my program needs to function.. Then there is the mtp driver which windows needs to see your device as a mass storage device and show up in explorer. The mtp driver should get installed automatically, but maybe you can try uninstalling and re-installing that if you are still not having luck.

Just a quick question, I have the LTE version of the Nexus and installed the 2.6. recovery. Seems at least for the Wifi version there`s a slight update of the recovery available that fixes touchscreen issues ... will you include it for DEB once available so we can flash it through your awesome toolkit? :good:

On another note, will I get OTA Updates on my rooted/unlocked DEB?

I love you toolkit it is so much nicer than manually doing everything and managing the files. My only wish is that it could pull the backups back to the computer as well.

I am however running into a little problem. I am running CM 10.2. Every few days I want to update to the latest nightly. When I do I try to flash using the option in the advanced menu. I set it up to backup and then flash the nightly and gapps. It pushes the files to the device and reboots to recovery but it doesn't do anything more. It is like it isn't reading the 'open recovery script' (whatever it is called) that gets pushed.

Am I doing something wrong or is it a bug?

Thanks for the help.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] pgriffith:
Quick question guys.

Am currently setting up a new Nexus for my nephew for his birthday..... great device.

Although I've never really noticed how many bloody ads are present without a blocker, as I currently use AdAway on all my devices. (All Cyanogen)

My question is, if all I do is root the device so I can install AdAway, will this stop any OTA updates from happening ?

I'd like to get rid of the ads, but I also don't want to have to be involved in the future to keep it updated .... OK uncle... not AWESOME uncle :)

I understand an OTA might remove root, but will it actually update ?

Cheers all
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] WugFresh:
Backups do get pulled to the computer. And regarding your problem with flashing, its most likely do to the build you have selected for your device. If you have "Custom ROM" selected it assumes the ROM is using a modified boot.img that enables running privileged commands. If this is not the case for CM 10.2 then you should select your build as the latest one available in the toolkit for your device, or the one that most closely resembles the build of the custom ROM you are running. Being able to run these privileged commands is essential for the toolkit to push that openrecoveryscript to the proper directory on your device so that it can be read in and executed by TWRP. Cheers.

I had a hell of a time installing the USB driver on WIn7 64bit.

This is what finally worked, while Nexus 7 is connected:

In Win7's Device Manager --> right click on Nexus 7 --> Update Driver Software--> Browse my computer for driver software --> Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer --> (ignore anything from the list,) Have Disk --> Browse to where you've unzipped the Google usb driver --> select and Open android_winusb.inf --> OK (to close Install From Disk prompt) --> highlight Android ADB Interface --> Next --> ok any warning messages.

Here is my problem... When I download the program and start it (After selecting my model/build) I get the screen that says how to enable usb debugging on your 4.3.0 device. I enable debugging mode and uncheck MTP under usb connections and then plug in my tablet.

When i do that, I see the driver software installation window comes up showing Nexus 7 and it searches and then gets a red X that says no driver found.

What am i doing wrong here? I've rooted/done this to many different phones but cannot seem to get a stupid driver installed on this?

Any help is appreciated.

get android naked driver http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1379875 , unpack it, get into device manager. You will see a adb device with question mark, click it, update driver and choose the directory manually. If you get an error about not certified drivers, install anyway.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] h20wakebum:
To further elaborate.

I went ahead with the Nexus Root Toolkit v 1.72 by Wug. At the top it has full driver installation guide - automatic and manual.

I followed the steps there and used the option 1 recommended (koush universal driver). When i installed that and then tried testing it step 3, it tells me ADB device not found.

So when i go into device manager, i don't see anything under ADB with a question mark. All i see is Nexus 7 with a yellow exclamation point under "other devices".

Any thoughts?

On the last update it did not work for me. I got OTA but it failed to update. I ended up flashing it manually from the kit, but you lose your data, need to reinstall or keep a backup.Of course you need to re-root after. Not sure, maybe this problem is fixed now, may have something to do with TWRP version used.

Once the drivers were squared away everything else went smoothly.

I just installed the jss15R before I decided to unlock and root things. After going through the procedure the first time with "install recovery" checked I booted and superSU wasn't working.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] rulk:
Two issues with this...

I had the Q version of the rom.. (Just updated to R but haven't looked to see if I lost anything..)

I am able to get root with this. (Unlocked, root with recovery then root again without recovery. Phone in PTP mode to start.)

I chose universal drivers when rooting.

Although my computer (Win 7 Pro/ 64bit) kept connecting and seeing it as a media device and popped up the directory I can not access it after the root is gained. I have tried it with debugging on and off, PTP and MTP modes.

I have NOT tried reinstalling different drivers at this time.

If I push a rom to the tablet with NRT I get stuck in the boot up screen. I have left it in this screen for hours to make sure it isn't just an issue with the tablet having to reset its self. I am able to reset back to stock then regain unlock and root.

So is the WUS NRT not working for putting custom roms onto the tablet?

I could probably try updating the drivers and then using the custom recovery to try loading a custom Rom?

I am currently at a loss with this. Tablet is working great otherwise but I wanted to try running Linux on it and I apparently need a custom rom for that. (I saw mention of a 4.2.2 rom being needed since 4.3 wont run linux on it yet?)

Thanks!

I have the JSS15R now and the tablet's bootloader is unlocked, is there any way other than using this software to go back to stock?

[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] WugFresh:
If you have the SDK ptoperly setup with adb and fastboot directories in your systems path variable, then you can just extract the factory packs Google provides and run the flash-all.bat in there.. I actually helped JBQ with that code too.. So either way, the process is fundamentally (toolkit or flash-all.bat) the same.. The difference is my toolkit doesn't require the sdk or additional setup and has additional checks and failsafes.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Vaykadji:
I have JSS15R and I'm unlocked+rooted, but I don't dare to install custom recovery. Everything works and when I want to access recovery, I use the tookit and start to recovery from there (that works, but the power+volume only shows me stock recovery).

I'm thinking that I don't really need custom recovery since i'm able to access it with USB connexion and NRT. Am I right ?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] WugFresh:
Yes, if you want you can use NRT exclusively to access custom recovery on your device without ever flashing it. You certainly don't need to flash it. That said, if you are using custom recovery to flash mods and ROMs, then there is no point keeping stock recovery. The nice thing about custom recovery is that you can perform tasks with it without using a computer and NRT.
