[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] teddy0209:
you sure you have the drivers installed?

and I assume you did type the right command on the right directory... latest twrp is 2.6.3.1
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] mad_hat:
Yes, I think so. I just unrooted and flashed back to Factory Google image using the ToolKit and all was working fine. only yesterday. The command I gave was correct, the latest TWRP is 2.6.3.1 and with the latest CWM also - 6.0.4.3. Both were tried.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] teddy0209:
That's weird... I did flash kitkat myself, and everything was wiped during the process... Bootloader, kernel, recovery, system, all was replaced... All I did after installing was go to fastboot and fastboot flash twrp... I didn't unroot or go back to stock prior to upgrade 'cause this is entirely new OS and would wipe and replace everything...
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] mad_hat:
Well all the sites I was using as a reference repeatedly stated that the updating will only work on the factory images so I that was what I did. Perhaps there is some step or steps that I am missing when flashing the TWRP. Could you guide me with this - what about the bootloader? Does it have to be unlocked ?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] teddy0209:
It should be... Mine is unlocked...

Turn on debugging mode, turn off MTP just in case...

Put the device into fastboot mode/ turn off then press volume up + power button...

Connect to pc...

Verify that the device is connected in device manager...

then flash the recovery, fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img..

you can just rename the recovery image you have downloaded to recovery.img so the command should be

"fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] mad_hat:
Thanks. I will follow and let you know the progress. One more question - how do I unlock the boot loader?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] teddy0209:
didnt see that coming... =) Haven't you unlocked it before using this tool and root?

"fastboot oem unlock"

You have to be in fastboot/bootloader mode

Edit: while on bootloader you can see on the details your bootloader status

Edit2: You have to open the command prompt on the directory of the fastboot.exe (shift + right click)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] mad_hat:
Thanks for your patience, mate. In fastboot, I see the bootloader is "unlock". Somewhere in all the button pressings, I get a small droid with the exclamation mark in red after which there is no further movement. I have to shutdown the tab. That is I am not able to get into Recovery Mode - only once was I able to get into that.

In the fastboot mode, when I type in the command (on the PC) adb devices, I get no device listed, though i can see the Android devices in the Devices in My Computers - System Properties - Device Manager.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] teddy0209:
you have the latest android sdk installed right?

can you post a screenshot...

edit:

plug your device turned on before doing the screenshot
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] mad_hat:
Ok so far, my progress is:

1. Managed to flash TWRP recovery (I changed the sdk and platform-tools folder)

2. Got into the Recovery Mode

3. Trying to install the latest SU package gets error message E:signature verification failed.

By the way, even after flashing TWRP, when I get to Fastboot or Recovery mode, it all seems to be the same.

Finally, I think I got everything right. Repeated the whole procedure once again, got the TWRP working and flashed the SuperSU package moved to the root of the device and it is now restarting. Thanks teddy0209 for your help.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] teddy0209:

nexus7 lte t mobile 11-20-13

Is there a toolkit I can use to unlock, root, etc. For the nexus 7 lte t mobile that just came out today.(11-20-13). Cant find anything about it on here and dont want to brick it. Any help would be so appreciated!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] dimebagdan65:
Do it the right way

fastboot oem unlock

fastboot flash recovery <recovery.img>

Then flash SuperSU in recovery
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] BAleR:
Hello fellow Nexus 7 lovers. I have a question i was hoping someone could help with. I want to unlock and get a rom on my N7, its just gonna be tricky for me.

I have a computer i can use but it cant access the internet its a pretty old pc running win xp, i can however use my N7 at home on wifi. Im pretty sure i can install the drivers, and adb, theres only one thing im afraid will keep me from unlocking. Since the pc cant get online, after i install the android sdk, how can i get the platform-tools aswell, i remember having to download it from the sdk. Is there anyway someone could upload a link for the platform-tools, and could i just put it inside the sdk folder? Or does it not work like that?

Thanks for any help, it will be much appreciated.

I appologise for my absence I have been having some personal problems as well as finding out my father has cancer so have been spending all available time with him before he goes in to surgery on the 12th. After the 12th I will be back full time and working hard as usual. In the mean time emails have been building up so I find I spend more time answering emails than working on the Toolkits lol. I am having problems retrieving emails from toolkit-support@skipsoft.net so if anyone has sent an email there and not had an answer im very sorry I probably didn't get it.

ANYWAYSS!!

Thanks, Mark this helped, just wiped data from toolkit and started over again and ensured i did not select '99' and no longer had "root\nexus5\boot-insecure.img" problem. Thank you very much ! :):):):):)

Many thanks for this toolkit Mark, works great! Unlocked, rooted and installed TWRP in less than 10 minutes! Sorry to hear about your dad, I hope he recovers!

Amazing ToolKit...Amazing support

I can NOT say enough good things about this toolkit and the support that Mark gives.....The OTA update 4.4 KitKat destroyed my tablet and I wasn't even able to boot in anymore just a BAD COMMAND....with all the help files and Marks personal support my tablet is WORKING.

Amazing ToolKit. I had already donated so had all the help file but I want to donate again. He spends so much time doing this for people and I would like to thank him again.

Mark tell me how and it will be DONE....

:victory::victory::victory::D:D:D
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] e2zippo:
Hey guys! Will this still work with the 4.4.2 OTA (KOT49H)? Do I still choose 4.4.0 KRT16S?

Will donate tonight Mark!

Cheers!

Same question here.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] curtdragon:
I would wait. I unlocked but after that nothing else worked but I am not sure where it went wrong. It's stuck at the Google circles on boot. Also none of the recoveries will let me do a wipe.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] mad_hat:
Had the same problem. I used this Toolkit to reflash the previous factory image -JSS15R and then I let it get updated over Wi-fi to 4.2.2 and then manually did the rooting and it is now working fine.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] curtdragon:
I tried that but it didn't work but somehow after all the loading it booted up. I also found direct download links for all stock roms but for some reason the 4.2.2 is missing for all devices
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] sgtguthrie:
So I know this will work to unlock the 2013 Nexus, but will it root the 4.4.2 stock rom? I've already taken the OTA and just need to unlock and root.

Thanks...
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] detonazione:
Sorry Mark for your dad, I hope everything will be solved for the better. I actually sent you a couple of emails and now I understand why you did not answer. I will post my question here anyway, hoping someone can help me :)

I have a Nexus 7 2013 with 4.3 JSS15R, and I unrooted it using Mark's toolkit. Everything went well. Lately I have received the OTA for Kitkat but I read many people had problems installing it on rooted devices. What is the safest and easiest procedure to install it?

For what I have understood I should un-root and re-lock the device, but I am not sure. I have Titanium Backup, so all my apps are already backed up, and I do not care if I have to re-install everything. I would prefer, of course, to keep everything as it is.

Could anyone please help me with some instructions? I am not terribly technical, sorry about this. Thank you in advance for your replies :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] User_99:
Most people have problems with OTA because of change system files like framework-res.apk or edited/insatlled some system files like ASOP Browser. In that case the update failed.

No need for unroot and re-lock your device. After update maybe you need to root it again, but this is done in 5 min. ;) You have already done an backup so tried it out. If it fails a fast and easy way is to flash the latest KK factory image...
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] detonazione:
Thank you for your answer, I appreciate it! I'll give it a go and let's see what happens.

Update: it did work, thank you! :) But I just realised the toolkit still isn't still ready for 4.4.2 KOT49H, I should have read the previous messages. Not a problem, I will wait :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] ameinild:

You can only auto update if you have the paid version.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] Hotbread:

THANK YOU!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] skandranon314:
I just got my Nexus 7. Did the OTA, and now have 4.4.2, build KOT49H. Does not look to be supported. If I buy the donate version, will that have support for this build?

EDIT -

Ended up unlocking / rooting with another method.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] po8pimp:
Request to know what other method you used? Found this all in one about 2 hours too late... :(
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] ameinild:
The newest donate version has support for 4.4.2. Else I imagine you can unlock the bootloader with fastboot commands, and root with CF Auto-root.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] dragontology:
Well since this hasn't been updated to 4.4.2, it's useless to anyone who has taken that OTA, at least until the OP updates it.

No disrespect, but I just got my 2013 Nexus 7, and I've just hit that wall with this tool, so I benefit from the link he posted.

Hi, I have made a backup (all-nosystem-noshared)

Sorry, if it is a noob question, but...

...How to restore it? I thought that somewhere in the toolkit will be a number connected to restore.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] ameinild:
Same menu where you do the backup - numbers from 11 and up are restore options, no?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] milan*SK:
er, I think no

i decided to download the nexus 7 2013 toolkit (not the unified), and finally found the option to restore :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] ameinild:
Yes, apparently the option is not in the "Basic" toolkit. You need to specify your device, and then you enter the "Nexus 7" toolkit, where the option is present.

You can do this from the unified toolkit, as long as you select your device when asked about it.

Hi guys,

I'm using the toolkit to update my friend's Nexus 7 to 4.4.2 because she kept getting an error when she tried the Google OTA. Anyway, I've used the 1-click option to unlock the bootloader/root the device, etc. That worked perfectly. But now I'm trying to flash the update via the toolkit and it's stuck on "erasing 'system' " and it's been like fifteen minutes now.

Has anyone else had this problem? If so, any tips?

Since TWRP is already installed, is it safe to unplug and start over?

Any help would be appreciated.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] mskip:
This is probably the biggest update I have ever done as I had to update every supported device (19 and counting now) for the new Toolkit base.

Nexus 6 and Nexus 9 devices have been added to the UAT family and ALL devices have been updated to support the latest available builds and there is a new option for Pro users to root ANY build.

Loads of things have been tweaked, fine tuned or re-written to make them work better, I couldn’t possibly list everything that has been done on this version but I have been working til about 4am every night for the last week to get it finished as soon as possible.

A large amount of the procedures rely on TWRP openrecoveryscript to automatically flash zip files and I have decided (for now) to stick with TWRP 2.7 as there seem to be problems with adb on 2.8. When I know this is fully fixed I will start updating all devices to the latest TWRP versions.

As usual EVERYTHING has detailed instructions included so if you aren’t sure what an option does then just select it and read. New options in the Backups section and Rooting section, and more options added to the rooting procedure including using SuperSU Beta if desired.

It would take me 2 months to check absolutely everything (build options, model file downloads, recovery download) so if anyone spots ANYTHING please let me know as soon as possible so it can be fixed.

I would advise Pro users to download the full version from the link below as it will take me a few days to create the AutoUpdate files for every device. Existing codes will of course still work and if you install to the same folder as it was in before then pro features should automatically be activated at startup.

Now this is out I will start working on adding the Galaxy Note4, Galaxy Tab S (both sizes) and Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition. These should be done and added within a week hopefully as im busy with family commitments over christmas so will only be able to work nights for a few weeks.

Enjoy.
