Yes this feature seems broken right now.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] Ch3vr0n:
After looking at alot of different models i settled on this one but the Ltd version ill be getting when its released here. Now my question is, my phone is an HTC sensation XE. I know that flashing a custom recovery will stop my phone being able to receive OTA updates, is the same true for this tablet? I know it runs stock Android by default. Will flashing twrp have the same effect on this tablet?

If no, then i can use this toolkit. If yes, the i can use chainfire's auto root script that does not flash a recovery.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] FoulDroid:
is the code for Nexus 7 2012 Toolkit working with 2013 version ?

Sold my 2012 Nexus for a brand new 2013 version :D

no, this is the toolkit for the 2013 version. 1st edition has it's own toolkit

Ok ! Will make donation like the first one asap!

[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] yosh76:
Yeah right 2.6.2.0 is available now :). Hope it will update soon on the toolkit.

Try to rename ---> recovery-twrp-2.6.2.0-razor and delete the recovery-twrp-2.6.1.0-razor on the recovery folder.

I checked the root directory in Nexus 7 Toolkit-directory. There are only five files (busybox,permanent-recovery,SuoerSu155,SUCWM,Unroot_UninstallBusybox-CWMmanager) but no .img-file !?

I installed twice, checked md5, ...all the same

Same with me ! What have you done loco ?

The feature isn't broken if you read the text at the top of the Model Selection screen it states not to select option 99 if you want to root or use an insecure boot image (which the rooting process uses).

This toolkit is freakin amazing if you have the pro version....just donate...a min 4gbp. All done by the command on the screen :) voila....

* While running on the toolkit, never unplug your nexus 7 2013 from pc/notebook to avoid root/unlock error occur...just sharing :). All just fine.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] giantniz:
So I've been trying to use option 13 to push some files to the device. I have it "automatically detect if boot image is insecure" which it initially determines it as secure. It then boots to the insecure img. Yet when I attempt to push the files after the reboot, it'll state it's now detected an insecure image, but then actually fails when the transfer begins saying "An Error Occured. You are not using an insecure image." I even went into option 23-Device Info and confirmed that it is recognizing it as insecure.

I'm running the stock rom, unlocked and rooted. Also, I'm having to use the PTP connection to get the toolkit to recognize the device. Am I doing something wrong here/missing a step? Everything else seems to working properly.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] yosh76:
What type of file that you push? did you put the file into correct folder ----> put_files_to_push_here

Thanks :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] goes_like_hell:
Thanks Mark ! Everything fine ! Root,TWRP,etc done.

"Who can read has an advantage over other " Sorry but the green letters are so MSDOS-like and i overread it.

Its better to go always about the device (wifi or lts) to come to mainmenue instead of 99.

But when you go once over 11 and dowload the specific files you cant go next time rooting,twrp,etc over 99.

For that you always have to go through 11 for rooting,twrp,etc. Only unlock you can do direct by 99

I know why i always donate for your tools.

Thank you so far and til next time

Finally got my Nexus 7 2013 LTE device. JB 4.3 - JLS36C is running. Do I need to wait for some updates for this tool to use it for rooting, or does it already now work? The shows for both version JSS15Q, that's why I asked...

BTW, I've donated and the update from 1.0.2 to 1.0.4 was fast and fine ;) Thx
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] giantniz:
I've tried a few different files...a .mkv and various audio files. And yes, I did place them in that specific directory. It seems the issue is related to it seeing the .img as secure, even after rebooting to temporarily switch to the insecure one.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] mptpro:
I need some help here..... I have the "pro" version.... I can't get past installing the drivers. They won't install and Toolkit thus does not recognize my N7.

Win 8

Nexus 7 - 2013 - JLS36C

No matter what I try the Nexus in Device Manager shows the yellow exclamation point. I have tried this on *two* computers, both running windows 8. (One of them is a fresh install from this weekend, with very little software installed). I've ininstalled, re-installed, tried picking the "media" and "photo" USB connection on the Nexus.

I've been working on this for the last four hours and I'm at my wits end.

PS I also bought the Nexus 4 Pro version and it works perfectly!

[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] crazyg0od33:
not to push people to another method, just to help, but Wug's toolkit worked for me running that factory image. I just selected 'Nexus 7 LTE 4.*.* Any Image' and it rooted. That may work for you as well, and now that the image has been officially posted by google, he'll probably add it to make it even easier
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] giantniz:
So I think I determined it was the size of the files I was attempting to transfer over. It was an .mkv of around 8 gb. I imagine this is a filesystem limitation (eg. fat32). Can anyone else confirm this?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] Racknos:
nothing to do for rooting n7 lte with JLS36C ?

[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] jaredmorgs:
This is quite likely a very tiny edge-case, but has anyone tried running the toolkit successfully under WINE on Linux.

I tried it this morning, and to my surprise I managed to get the toolkit up to the point where it checks for updates. But then WINE wasn't able to continue supporting the app and crashed out.

I have successfully used the toolkit under Windows 7 on our HTPC, but because I mainly work on a Linux laptop for work, I was curious to see if it may work.

And of course the new 8MB update that was released today caused me to lose TWRP and superuser, so I was experimenting to see if I could do without booting the HTPC just to reapply TWRP and Superuser.

Understandably, I'm not in any way asking you to support this edge case, but would be interested if other folks on Linux have tried other methods compatible with ubuntu or fedora.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] ameinild:
Would you agree that the safest way (or at least a very safe way) to update bootloader etc. before upgrading to a 4.3 custom ROM is to download and install the latest factory image with a toolkit like this? Thanks :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] mskip:
Yes that would be the easiest and safest way since everything is automated, or you could extract the bootloader from the google image and flash it via fastboot mode.

With the 4.3.1 update I lost root. Update for your toolkit coming soon?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] Ch3vr0n:
Regaining root is easy. If.you're on a custom recovery you can do it that way. If not download one anyway but here's the twist. You can boot into it without actually flashing it.

Store the custom recovery into the same folder as fastboot executable. Boot the device into bootloader.

Then it's 'fastboot boot recovery <recovery filename>´. Fastboot will load the recovery and boot into it without flashing it. The go to "install", browse to the superuser zip file and flash it. All done. Took me less than 2 min to regain root after updating to 4.3.1.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] mptpro:
Thanks. I do have a custom recovery, so I just flashed superuser - it worked, thanks!

Hello, Mark,

After using your toolkit for my old Nexus 7, I was glad to see a version for the 2013 Nexus 7. Any ETA on an update for the 4.3.1 JLS36I build so I can unlock and root mine?

Regards,

Hi

Just got my Nexus 7 32gb and am keen to get it rooted. Downloaded and installed the toolkit but when I run it all I get is a command box for a split second then nothing.

Running windows 7 64 bit.

Am I doing something wrong ?

:(
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] fergiet:
Ok, ran the toolkit on an old Samsung Netbook running w7 32bit and it's fine !

Strange, anyway I have a working version.

Mr.Skippen's tool kits work every time and like a charm! Used it to root our Nexus 4s and our 7s and hope to use it for the Nexus 5 when it comes out. Thank you sir!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] Lynchz7:
Can this be use on 4.3.1? Or do I need to wait for the updated kit?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] Ch3vr0n:
After updating mine to 4.3.1 i simply booted into a custom recovery twrp WITHOUT FLASHING IT through "fastboot boot <recoveryname>". Then it was a simple matter of hitting install to flash the su file i had on the storage root". Took all less than a minute to restore root, no toolkit needed whatsoever.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] arifjk:
Sorry Ch3vr0n, would you mind giving a step by step?

After clicking system update, it gave me the twrp menu, and then where should I go?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] Ch3vr0n:
First things first. Did you flash a custom recovery? If yes, then simply copy chainfire's such file to the root of the device, boot into twrp and hit "install", browse to the su file and flash it. All done. If you have NOT flashed a custom recovery but you have been previously rooted it is just as easy.

Download twrp that is compatible with the new nexus 7 from the chainfire website and save it in the same folder as the fastboot.exe file. Now you can either flash it and then go the above way or simply "boot" into it without flashing the recovery by opening up a command prompt at the folder where fastboot is located.

Now boot the device into bootloader.

Then enter "fastboot boot (recovery file name)" in the command prompt. (Eg: fastboot boot twrp-nexus7.bin)

Device will now reboot into the custom recovery WITHOUT having flashed it.

Procedure is then the same. Select install, navigate to su file, flash it. Done

Are you talking about updates to the code, downloadable images, or status updates about the return to XDA?

Speaking for the N7 2013 version, there is no need for updates when there is nothing broken. The version is stable at the moment AFAICT.

Factory images for Nexus 7 2013 are not yet officially released, so there is nothing to update regarding that.

Some response from [MENTION=894259]mskip[/MENTION] could be good in the thread, however he is providing updates on skipsoft.net

[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] hackel:
This appears to be a console application? Might we ever see a Linux version? Seeing as adb functions identically, this shouldn't be terribly difficult. I realise I can still do everything manually but this seems like a great time saver so I don't have to hunt through a bunch of threads to find the proper procedure for each operation. I honestly can't believe there are so many Android Linux users still running Windows on their PCs!
