I tried to back up my data before rooting.

But it hung at the "Waiting for your device..."

I am running on build JSS15R and the toolkit doesn't have this option to choose

Is not choosing the right build preventing me from making a backup?

Besides, I rooted once before upgrading to JSS15R,

Do I have to unlock my device again before rooting?

Thank you!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] WugFresh:
Update the toolkit. The build is supported.

Hello, I ran this to root my nexus and all steps seemed to work fine however I have no root access and SU wont update binaries??? I also tried to install SU thru a zip and still a no go. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello everyone! I unlocked and rooted once before updating to JSS15R

Do I have to unlock again before rooting?

Will all my data be gone for rooting again?

Sorry for my stupidity and thank you!

Quick question, I want to root my Nexus 7 2013 stock JSS15R, but don't want to lose my data. If I backup first before unlocking the bootloader, then restore my backup, will my bootloader become locked again? If not, then should the steps I take be:

1. Backup (using toolkit)

2. Unlock bootloader

3. Restore backup (using toolkit)

4. Root

TIA for any help!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] bwells88:
Thanks you so much!.... Just got my Nexus 7 LTE today and loving root... Not sure if your toolkit was updated tonight but when I first tried JLS36C wasn't available...

It showed up later and all is good..:)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] WugFresh:
Yup. I just added it to the masterlists. All the latest builds are now supported.

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] WugFresh:
Restoring an android backup file does not relock the bootloader. If you ever need to relock the bootloader you must use the OEM lock button. Yes, your instructions are fine. Let Google play restore your apps if possible because for paid apps the android backup file only backs up the app data, not the paid app itself. Cheers.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] WugFresh:
Yes. You can keep drivers for other devices. Considering using an alternate USB port for each device. Sounds like you successfully configured the adb driver with the RAW driver method but you didn't complete the process and configure it again when it was in bootloader mode. Please follow the instruction completely. Also, when you say "you saw some error".. That isn't descriptive enough for me to really help. If what you are referring to is a msgbox, then the answer to your problem is probably in that message. Let me know how it goes. Cheers.

Edit: Got it rooted but mtp won't work.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] WugFresh:
Uninstall koush universal driver if you don't want to utilize it although it sounds like its working. Control panel > add/remove programs. But again.. it sounds likes it working in adb mode.. You need to boot into booloader and finish the job.. Make sure its configured there too.

Try disabling USB debugging temporarily to get your mtp recognized if you are having problems with that.

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] dud3me:
It isn't installed, checked through all the programs in control panel. The driver test gives me "ADB device not found" error at the moment. Also disabling USB debugging didn't help with the mtp. :(

Btw thanks for replying so quickly! Been struggling with this all day so it's great to have you responding. I probably wouldn't be so cooperative if I was in your position :D
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] WugFresh:

So I got it rooted, but MTP still won't work on my laptop, but works on my friends laptop :confused: What drivers does the first method install? I thought about upgrading them to official drivers. But when I tried to do that, it says I'm already running the latest drivers... Should I uninstall them and try to manually re-install these?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Ed V:

Hi. Thanks for this tool. I'm a little unclear on support for JSS15R. Is it supposed to be listed? When I try to run the updated it closes so quick that I'm not sure if it's missing an update or there is no new update.

Rooting fails on my 2013 Nexus 7. It did install TWRP and i can boot to it. When i flash the root files in the order stated they do flash but when i reboot and try to open SuperSU it tells me that super user is not installed and that superSu cannot install it....i have flashed a few times even by booting into recovery myself but it does not work...I was able to use TWRP to also flash AOKP and it worked 100%...not sure why root on stock rom wont work....

[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] WugFresh:
I just figured out a good way to code this :)

v1.7.3 will now feature a brand new setting in NRT's options menu called "Live log". If enabled, NRT will display an additional window that shows all the adb/fastboot cmds as they are issued in realtime as well as their corresponding output.

This will help curious/advanced NRT users discover what's actually going on under the hood. Increasing overall transparency and helping end users with realtime feedback.

That and and more are coming soon. Stay tuned. Cheers.

This hapened to me when I tried to root with the Custom Recovery box also ticked. It didn't work. When I UNTICKED the box, and rooted, it worked fine.

Trying again from scratch as first Nexus 7 had a camera that did not work. THis time I Rooted UNTICKED, all worked as it should. I'm currently trying to Restore the settings from my Nandroid backup...
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] WugFresh:
I coded a fix for this that will be included in v1.7.3. For whatever reason it works for me now both ways on v1.7.2, but my new code should clear up this inconsistency with the "custom recovery" ticked option. Stay tuned.

Awesome toolkit. I've used Wug's one click since my sprint nexus s 4G, WAY BACK!

I did have a question, I looked through the last couple pages of comments and couldn't see if my question had already been answered or not, so sorry if this has already been covered. My 16 GB N7 (2013) Wifi has a build number of JSS15R...I didn't see that in the list of options when first opening the toolkit. If I select the "ANY BUILD," will this work? Thanks for the help.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] WugFresh:
Yes, any build will work for tasks like unlocking and rooting. That said for other toolkit features and full automation selecting the build is needed. That build is now supported. Initiate a toolkit update via the menu item or hotkey Ctrl+u

4:30a.m. and I got stuck on the last process

Ok well after using Wugs and getting to the final step, updating the binaries for Superuser, I wasn't able to figure it out. The default Superuser app that was installed by wugs nexus root toolkit 1.7.2. couldn't update the binaries nor could I update them using the recommended Superuser app by chainfire. I am unable to uninstall the default superuser app that NRT installed I guess because it was installed through the system. Everytime I tried to update through chainfire an error message popped up "installation failed, please reboot and try again". Please help me understand WTH I did wrong?

---------- Post added at 10:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:34 AM ----------

Were you able to figure this hangup you had with the binaries? I got to the same point and had the same problem. When trying to update using chainfires superuser, it wouldn't let me do it. Also, going through NRT it installed a superuser app which was ineffective and was unable to uninstall it. Did you have any luck?

Used this toolkit yesterday to root my Nexus 7. Worked well once I installed the 'right' drivers.

However, since installing the drivers from the #1 method, I can't see my sd-card when mounted as MTP. I could install different drivers and see if that works, or is there another solution for this problem?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] WugFresh:
It is supported. It's listed under Nexus 7 v2 Mobile. It has been supported ever since google released the factory image package for that build. Cheers. :)

Try toggling USB debugging off. Or try reinstalling drivers.. But before you install the adb drivers again, just connect your device first and let the computer auto download/configure it as a mass storage device.

Also a reinstall didn't solve the problem. Even tried to install the samsung drivers.

Very strange.

Bootloop

I tried using the toolkit to get out of a nasty bootloop but the problem is the loop even continues in recovery and fastboot. So I can't even reset to factory defaults.

Does someone here have a suggestion or some pointers of how the advanced utilities might help me?

---update

Ok so I fugured my first step should be unlocking the bootloader. And tried manually unlocking the boatloader trough fastboot, but somehow I can't confirm my selection. It just doesn't respond to the power button from that screen. And offcourse then the reboot cuts me off.

I'm beginning to think sending it to asus maybe my only option left ... hope they don't give me a hard time for buying it in the states instead of in the netherlands where I'm at.

Hello guys,

i've tried to unlook the bootloader via Wug's Toolkit but everytime my device boot into the Bootloader menu, where you can select "yes" or "no" to unlock the bootloader, my device hangs up if i select "Yes".

So i can't unlock the bootloader, can someone help? Alls drivers are installed and my nexus LTE has the latest update.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] McAwesome:
I dont know why the driver stuff is so annoying for me lately but strangely I have to set it to PTP for it to be recognized by the toolkit. Even toggling them on and off back and forth and so on it wont see it unless it is set to ptp. So for anyone else struglling out there that worked for me. My computer sees the device in windows on both ptp and mtp but adb only sees it on ptp. Good luck and great work on the toolkit much appreciated.

Maybe you needed to relock before unrooting?

Nope, it specifically says to unroot first.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] WugFresh:
I am guessing that you didn't re-enable usb debugging. Flashing stock wipes and reverts everything to default settings.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] rulk:
I have had similar issues as others have mentioned. In order to be able to use this tool kit I had to load a specific driver set. With the driver set I was able to access my Nexus 7 fine prior to rooting. Since rooting even with the otherwise factory ROM I have been unable to access the internal SDcard from this computer. If I go back to stock with it locked I can access it just fine. Also the tool kit will access it just fine as well. The only issue I am seeing is after rooting my computer won't recognize it is connected to the Nexus.

If I go to another computer that hasn't had the driver upgrade I can access the internal SDcard just fine without issue. So it seems to be a driver issue of some type where it is not compatible with the device once rooted. Not sure if the locking portion is a problem since I haven't tried it and now that I have Crynogen running on it I really don't care to mess with it again.

Ok I installed the drivers and no matter what I do it will not accept reboot or system commands from the scripts.

It sits there and does nothing.

If I reboot it into bootloader mode it completes the driver test with no issues.

and if I reboot it it does not install the ADB window.

I solved it by uninstalling the drivers when nexus is plugged and then (still plugged) tried rebooting it (debugging and mtp switched on before reboot), and when it was booting up, windows 8 detected it and installed right drivers ;)

Everything is working fine, you may have to switch to camera storage (ptp? or sth like that ;p second option after mtp) when using wug's toolkit.

Hope you can solve it ;)
