Check if your PC is seeing your nexus 7 when in fastboot. Try reinstalling drivers thru the kit. My initial try, it did not reboot into fastboot during one of the cycles of rebooting. Started over, then it worked.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] WugFresh:
Sounds like a connectivity issue. Try an alternate USB port.

Pushed ROM/Recovery for flashing and now I can't delete the !Readytoflash folder :confused:

How can I delete !Readytoflash folder in KK?

TIA

I few others have had that happen before. Not sure why it happens but I made a flashable zip that should fix it: http://www.mediafire.com/?0388cgqyj6dcl56

Just flash that in recovery. Let me know how it goes. Cheers

For people getting to that pull your hair out stage with USB drivers try this.

http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/165554-usb-driver-general-fix-problems.html

I've used it twice with great results. It's hard to describe what it does, but It cleans up old usb driver entries. There are 'ghost' entries you do not see unless you follow these steps. It just gives you a clean usb base to start from.

I run it when I find that devices sometimes connect, sometimes they don't, and when windows is having problems installing drivers they should easily get from the internet.

It might duplicate what USBReview does, but it doesn't hurt anything to check. I've run it twice with good results. I run it when sometimes devices connect, and sometimes don't, or when Windows (Win7 for me) has problems installing drivers usb drivers when plugging in a new device.

Be sure to follow the direction to run it multiple times until all the greyed out entries are gone. It shouldn't effect drivers you have installed for devices, but it wouldn't hurt to have them on hand or a link for where to get them, just to save you time if Windows doesn't download the drivers automatically.

Argh, brain fart. I accidentally had the wrong nexus 7 model selected. That's what causing the freezing.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] WugFresh:
Yup. That will do it. It doesn't help that there are four Nexus 7's to choose from. I have made the mistake myself.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] 53l3c7a:
Thanks Wug! Toolkit works great. I'm a nope to the N7, but fairly experienced with rooting and flashing. Finally bought my first Nexus device, and I couldn't be happier!

I'm not sure if I found a bug or not, but the Toolkit upgraded TWRP to 2.6.3.1, which failed every attempt at flashing a ROM or kernel. It gave me an error regarding symlinks. I tried re-downloading the ROM, and even tried another. I even flashed the KitKat bootloader thinking that might be the problem...

Then I remembered that TWRP can be buggy at times, so I found 2.6.3.0 that a user uploaded in the TWRP forum. Fastest flashed, and all is gravy.

Is there a fix I overlooked? If not, can you pull or prevent the latest TWRP from being updated in the Toolkit? I just wanted to give you and others a heads up.

Thanks again! My Tabby is so happy now.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] WugFresh:
Yes. Its easy for me to switch which TWRP it gets. Which N7 do you have?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] 53l3c7a:
That's a fine question... Flo? Lol. I think the build ended in 15... Sound right? Sorry, I'm on the bus on my way to work right now. I can check my desktop when I get home.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] cheezusweezel:
+1, TWRP 2.6.3.1 is buggy with Flo. TWRP 2.6.3.0 runs great.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] 53l3c7a:
Indeed. Once I flashed 2.6.3.0 I was up and running within 10 minutes.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] kaibosh99:
I have a question to ask that I know will rustle some jimmies here, but I am hoping someone will be kind. I have a nicely set up OTA Kitkat, and now that I decided that I am going to unlock/root it seems like the only way to unlock is to wipe data. If this is true... How am I supposed to back my stuff up first? Obviously can't use TB... Am I just screwed? If there is a way to unlock the bootloader and root without wiping my precious data, please let me know.

As for the USB issues, this is the most ridiculous thing imaginable that we have to fight this crap in this day and age with all kinds of android devices. Here's my tips for people who have headaches on the subject:

- Make sure you use as 'legacy' of a USB port as you can. Even 2.0 ports on the *front* of a computer might not be enough, you might need to use a 2.0 port on the back.

- Try a different cable, shorter the better. These cables can cause all sorts of nightmares, the ADB drivers must be very finicky for bandwidth or something.

- Do what I do, ignore my pimpin' pc altogether and just plug my device into my 12" netbook. It is running Win 7 x64, but has NEVER had an issue with USB drivers, whether it is to access foreign file systems (to write to Wii devices, etc) or work with ANY weird device.

- If you are running Windows 8.1, heave your computer over the side of your balcony. If you can try to aim for the dumpster, even an ultra-portable laptop will cave that poor elderly woman's skull in if she takes it by a corner. This isn't because Windows 8.1 is a special kind of hell to deal with oddball driver issues with (although it is), it is for many other reasons I won't go into here.

EDIT: I see after scrounging around some more that there ARE a few methods to do a painless nandroid worthy(ish) backup without root. I took the cowards way out and now Helium is going to be uploading everything to my GDrive for the next 8 hours or so. Ironically the toolkit couldn't see my tablet but Helium did - although I think it may have just been a lucky order of boot/plug/prayer beads/kittens sacrificed.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] WugFresh:

Problem with my adb

Not sure am i doing this correctly or not,i try doing full driver instalation,keep getting adb not running error. Sometimes it say successful then it goes adb stillnotrunningerror. I try uninstall and reinstall all driver..Also refer to OP's FAQ page. Still cant solve. What im trying to do is i wanna back up my data partition only then flash factory image of 4.3.1 back instead of using 4.4. Any idea why the adb keep not running?

Hi WugFresh,

Your toolkit looks great, and I am looking forward to running it to unlock and root my Nexus 7. I appreciate your work! :highfive:

In your FAQ under Drivers, Method #2, it gives instructions on how to reboot ones PC without driver integrity checks. I have opened cmd as admin and typed the first line "bcdedit -set loadoptions DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS" and received the response "The operation completed successfully." but when typing the second line "bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING ON" i receive this response "An error has occurred setting the element data. The value is protected by Secure Boot policy and cannot be modified or deleted."

Using Windows 8.1. Will try to use Method #1 to reboot. Just thought you would like to know.

Great work!!

Wugfresh, thank you!! I am up to my 8 thanks today but will try to remember to press thanks on your OP tomorrow (or if i stay up tinkering with my new nexus tonight til 1am)... That is the easiest, most user friendly, well written toolkit i have ever seen. I have sent you some beer money as thanks.

After rebooting into driver integrity check off mode, I followed your instructions and was able to install the drivers successfully, without much issue, except that it failed the first check, and the second, so i rebooted (normally) into windows, and checked again and got a success notice. Unlocked, rooted, and flashed TWRP. Made a backup and am about to check out some ROMs and install my apps!

This is only the 3rd device i have rooted, so i am still sort of a noob. I appreciate command line stuff and ADB, and will learn more in time, but for now, this i Just what i needed to get rocking with my new Nexus. Thanks a million, Great work!! :good::good:

[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Kiszonyogor95:
If you want to have root, you cant lock bootloader again. You need it unlocked.

But why would you like to lock it? It doesnt change anything in overall tablet behaviour except this unlocked sign when booting up ;)

[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] WugFresh:
Yes, once rooted you can relock and unlock again at anytime with this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.segv11.bootunlocker

You don't need to have an unlocked bootloader to retain root access - however if you relock you will be unable to "Flash Stock" to restore your device if there is a problem without first unlocking again.

This app sounds perfect but with a small problem, says "not compatible with nexus 7".. only 4, 5 and 10.. i'll check if there is another way to get it.

It's not a big problem for me the "unlock" icon, just asked if i could avoid it by locking bootloader again and if i wanted to unlock it in the future for some reason.. your tool is a "God's gift"!:p

Only one more question, with unlocked bootloader will i get OTA updates from Google or i must lock it when i see an update coming?

:)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] BigPickle80:
From Wugs web page

At WugFresh;

Absolutely spot on tool took the pain out of unlocking/rooting and installing, the only thing i would suggest to add to your post is a "first install latest USB driver http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html" this would help noobs like me :)

Hey. Hopefully this is a quick question and not too noobish. I'm using the toolkit for the first time (just got my N7) and was trying to do a back up before rooting/unlock. My tablet is now at the Fastboot screen with the opened android image. The toolkit is showing a message of "Waiting for the backup to complete and for your device to boot back up". It's been here for 10min at least. I'm trying to figure out if it is still writing the back up (I don't see a file in the folder but it did create the folder), or is it waiting for me to hit the power button to "Start" the tablet. I'd appreciate some guidance. Thanks.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] BigPickle80:
I used this tool to return to flash stock/unroot so i could allow device to update. When it didn't i decided to sideload using adb rather than wug as i wasn't sure if it would be supported yet.

Having sent the device into recovery after all wug fresh processes had finished I discovered that stock recovery had not flashed so my device was without stock recovery, when i try to go into recovery it just sits with android open chest exclamation and nothing happens (no menu options).

I have tried advanced options and restore stock recovery option but still it doesn't apply to the recovery even though wug says all is fine and its completed.

I have had to re-root with custom recovery.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] fergiet:
Download the updates from Google. 4.4 to 4.4.1 and 4.4.1 to 4.4.2 then use the toolkit to sideload the updates, one at a time.

Just google the updates, they use the build numbers rather than 4.4 etc. Works on locked/unlocked bootloaders.

If you have a custom recovery installed then you can put the files on the nexus and intall using custom recovery.

You will need to re-root after if you are rooted.
