I just can't get TWRP working, it really frustrates me because I've tried everything.

I flash stock 6.0.1, everything is good but when I want to boot in recovery I get the green android guy with a warning sign out of his belly

http://imgur.com/vYcrLSw

I've removed all the Nexus drivers, uninstalled the toolkit and did it all over again but no result.

I now flashed Chroma through the toolkit but even when Chroma is flashed I get the same warning sign in recovery mode. It really drives me crazy, I use this toolkit since day 1 and I've never experienced anything like it. I've updated everything, also inserted the masterlist but no result.

Please anyone help me, I'm out of ideas,

Note many devices will replace your custom recovery automatically during first boot. To prevent this, use Google to find the proper key combo to enter recovery. After typing fastboot reboot, hold the key combo and boot to TWRP. Once TWRP is booted, TWRP will patch the stock ROM to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP. If you don't follow this step, you will have to repeat the install.

I have Nexus 5 with 6.0.1 MMB29K.

I followed every step in Nexus Root Toolkit.

Everything went fine except last step. I do not have BusyBox Installer.

So I went back to TWRP and again flashed "busybox-signed.zip". When TWRP was doing it's magic it said everything was fine. But when I rebooted there is still no Busybox Installer.

Why? Can I run Installer from ES File Manager? If so, where can I find it?

edit: I found Busybox flashable zip from another source and tried it but haven't been successful (still in app drawer there is no Installer).
[Nexus 5 Android Development] fatspirit:
If you already have root, it's not mandatory to install busybox via recovery. You can download any installer from the Play Market. And check if there enough space on your system partition.

A week and no root in sight... prolly going ElementalX. :crying:
[Nexus 5 Android Development] fatspirit:
Why? You can easily root without NRT. All you need is TWRP and SuperSU.

Quick question : I already rooted with Cf auto root, can I just click root with this and install twrp with no problem? I want to install twrp but this stupid drivers aren't installing properly.

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Android Development] WugFresh:
If you already rooted with another method, then I am guessing that your drivers were already configured. No need to do it again. Yes, that is one way to do it... Or you could just use the advanced utilities flash recovery button.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] ernexto:
Thanks for your work and time Wug! I've successfully rooted my N5 with your tool. Only one question: can I uninstall/remove BusyBox now or do I have to keep it?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] brienj:
Thanks for the Toolkit!!!

I had previously rooted my Nexus 5 with Chainfire's method, but your toolkit made it simpler to flash TWRP to my device, without having to fuss and enter the commands. The only "problem" is that the date is incorrect in TWRP when it makes backups, which isn't the fault of your tool, just TWRP, or I am missing how to set the year somewhere. I did set the time correctly, which needed a 45 offset.

But thanks again, this toolkit is very useful, and will be replacing the other toolkit I was using for my Nexus 10 tablet, as well as continuing to be used for my Nexus 5. :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] WugFresh:
Yeah, you can if you want. Its just a user app that installs the busybox applets. Once installed, you can remove the user app if you want - however if updates to the applets become available, it could be used to update them. That said, you can easily reinstall it from the playstore no problem.

I downloaded for 4/5 times from the same site google factory image but always gives me the same MD5 c9fc3764ab268962424b38e75b26d875 (Can you compare with your own) which is different from the one written on the site https://developers.google.com/ android / nexus / images. How can I do? Discharge to infinity and beyond :( ? Also all the various packages that I downloaded had exactly the same MD5 and I also changed the method and browser for download ...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] WugFresh:
I have been having a very hard time downloading from their servers successfully as well. I think I also got that hash once. Its been messing me up tremendously - I can't update NRT without the proper packs. Something is wrong with their servers. I am working on getting proper mirrors up. I will post back soon

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 5 Android Development] gerardo87:
So that's a google's server problem. Then I try again and again :D Really thanks Wug
[Nexus 5 Android Development] WugFresh:
Yeah. Here are all the mirrors I have with hashes matching Google's website:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?a=show&w=files&flid=9490

The only one I still can't get with a proper md5 sum is razor

Hopefully my mirrors help you with the one you are looking for.

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 5 Android Development] gerardo87:
I have only the nexus 4 package but I have a nexus 7 (2012) wifi :crying: however I take your suggest and I'm searching in your mirror :D but you have the package for nakasi (nexus 7 2012 wifi) with proper md5 (I'm asking because I found the nakasi folder with KK factory image)?

Edit: Sorry I've re-reading better your post just now and you has already answered me :D

what can u do when the temporary boot into twrp is stuck in the fastboot mode?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] gradford11:
Got the boot loader unlocked now I can't get it to take root. I get message bootloader already unlocked then it tries to download boot.img which went on forever. Finally I gave up and thankfully nothing got borked. I used the same method to unlock but when it came to root, no go. Any idea's?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] eRadicant:
Something worth noting: ADB restore of system apps after rooting required me to tick "Trust system user" in SuperSU
[Nexus 5 Android Development] WugFresh:
Thanks for the info. I didn't know that. Did it pop up a message on your device or something or did you have to figure it out?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] the1dynasty:
thanks again [MENTION=3110798]WugFresh[/MENTION] i had to get a replacement Nexus 5 and used this as soon as i got home to root it all over again lol... worked perfectly every single time!!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] eRadicant:
No message or anything

My phone was just stuck on restoring a certain system app

Killed adb and retried, this time it got stuck on a different system app

I used a file manager to monitor free storage to confirm that nothing was actually happening while it was stuck

I then went into SuperSU and ticked trust system as well as grant permission by default

Retried again and this time everything worked fine

Also, what is the reason for high CPU usage from the toolkit process during adb backup/restore? It locks itself at 25% on my PC.

edit: I should mention that I used CF-Auto-Root to obtain root, just used your toolkit for adb backup/restore before and after
[Nexus 5 Android Development] WugFresh:
Thanks, I will be sure to include that info in the restore message box.

Regarding inefficient CPU usage during that step. I am not sure what's causing that for you, I will look into it. Maybe I could code something better. Nothing comes to mind right now though. Thanks for your feedback.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] jahman42:
Question? Windows 7 machine loses nexus 5 in recovery.

I can't see my nexus 5 in the device window when rebooted into normal or custom recovery. I tried to update drivers manually and got no where fast. I end up doing a system restore to an earlier state; just so adb would connect at all.

I downloaded the newest NRT. version 2.1.4 after reading the change log. I tried the option to root with custom recovery option, but as soon as it gets into recovery adb interface loses conection.

So far, my Nexus 5: 6.0.1 (MMB29S) has to have PTP + usb debugging on to be seen by the tool kit. When I run the full driver configuration guide test with PTP+usbdebug it says drivers are installed correctly.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] WugFresh:
Hey, thanks for heads up - looks like it wasn't properly announcing to my tracker list. Should be seeding now.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] WugFresh:
As per the message that should show up. ADB Recovery is another mode - so just open device manager at this stage, and make sure you see an ADB device. If you see an unconfigured device then configure it as adb. You can try unplugging and replugging device USB at this stage as well. Once your comp sees the ADB recovery device, everything will be automated.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] coffeecore:
What has changed [MENTION=3110798]WugFresh[/MENTION]?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jahman42:
So, more fiddling with it. I'll mess with it, this coming weekend, to make it see the drivers in recovery. Anyhow, thanks for giving me direction and motivation to get it to work correctly.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] DЯΦiDi@П:
I ran into the same issue. After a manual install of 6.0.1, both flashing or temporary booting into the actual TWRP showed up the dead droid.

I played a bit around and found out, that flashing CWM worked, so i tried to flash an older version of TWRP (2.8.5.2 for no special reason, I just had it handy) which also worked. I used it to Install SU 2.66 BETA and finally got root. After that, I flashed the actual TWRP via Flashify which throw an error message, but testing showed: TWRP was successfully installed.

Everything's working fine now.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] paztine:
what I did was after temporary booting to twrp I pull the cable out and install su 2.67 beta. downloaded latest twrp img for n5 and used flashify. And everything works perfectly Yeah for some reason twrp on NRT does not stick..
[Nexus 5 Android Development] madbat99:
Its likely Because you're flashing 2.66 beta SuperSU. And you're choosing to not let twrp modify system. Which won't let it install the script to make twrp permanent.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] nldxda:
thanks alot, followed your method and back up rooted w/ twrp now
[Nexus 5 Android Development] DЯΦiDi@П:
Thank you for your reply. I just don't see the connection yet. After flashing 6.0.1, I tried to install TWRP (with Wug's Kit or without) -> didn't work. Then I tried to boot temporary into TWRP -> didn't work either (which irritated me). After that, I installed an older TWRP (-> success) which I then used to install SuperSU.

In my view, SuperSU can't be the reason for the problem, because it was still waiting to be installed. Seems more likely to be an issue with TWRP, which I downloaded more than twice to be sure the files were ok.

Did I miss something? Anyway, it works now and may help someone else, too :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] newuser2016:
Hey I love this, it's fantastic, great for newbies like me. Love the instructional walkthru too. Just one problem - I've tried flashing a couple of stock roms and with both of them, the phone (Nexus 5) downloads an update but then can't install it. Is there any way to fix this please? I get the small robot icon whenever I try to upgrade and the phone tries to install and reboot. The reason for originally loading a lower than current rom is I need to get an app to work with less than up to date security settings, once it's installed I can upgrade. If anyone can post a link to a good rom which I can perform updates from that would be great. Thanks!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] fatspirit:
It isn't clear if you have any modifications on your system after flashing - custom kernel, root, etc., since this robot says so.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] EncryptedCurse:
Do you ever plan on open sourcing this?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] nnw49:
I too can't get ANY custom recovery to install this month....

It LOOKS like the recovery flashes, but it doesn't seem to actually make it, so I wonder if there's a problem with NRT command or the timing? I think it is unlikely to be an IMG problem with BOTH TWRP and CWM unless NRT is downloading them badly (it downloaded new TWRP 3.0 and a new version of CWM...). It cannot be SuperSU as no attempt to flash that has happened before the problem occurs

I did, however, manage to get TWRP to temp run with NRT, which enabled me to flash the various zips in !ReadytoFlash - which has re-rooted my Nexus 5.

However, I'd like a custom recovery - I'd prefer TWRP but would be happy with CWM :)

If the developer reads this: what can we do to gather information to faultfind this?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] DЯΦiDi@П:
Now you are rooted, try Flashify to flash TWRP. Worked for me.

Good luck.

(Still wonder, why I wasn't able to temp run TWRP ...)

For me now everything works just fine, also had problems with TWRP flashing. After flashing latest factory image I download TWRP from their site and choose that one in NRT.

after root a message about corrupt device..............

Hi all,

I root my new Nexus 5x with the wonderfull toolkit, wonderful, only one thing.

When you start your rooted device it show you the message about: " wh can't control if your device is corrupt."

Did I do somnething wrong, anybody know the answer?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Rianta:
text appear after rooting about corrupt

by using this toolkit, a great tool, the message appear like this after rooting and unlock and everything what the system ask for: "" we can't control the device is corrupt".

Anyone how I can avoid that, I didn't like it and unroot my Nexus 5x

Please help
[Nexus 5 Android Development] grgana:
Its feature on newer nexus devices starts with N6 on MM, you should place question on n5x(bullhead) forum..as i understand this problem you should use systemless root or modified boot img. /custom kernel-rom

But better try to find answer on your forum thread
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Rianta:
Thanks , I root more times in the past, but I am still a rookie regarding N5x.

With systemless you meant to say , root with CF-Auto-Root or an root app?

Thanks you are great

Hello. Trying Flash Stock+unroot but i have some problems. after downloaded android 6.0.1 build MMB29V from NRK i have a error when writing system:

http://www118.zippyshare.com/v/nH5JD74X/file.html

Writing

\’system\’ fails with error "bogus chunk size for chunk

after that system bootloops twice and goin to twpr2.8.6 recovery, after restart that same (two restarts then goin into twrp)

Edit: Tried manually flash again xtrasmooth rom (using NRK, that was my old rom) and after that stocked in google logo, when goin into bootloader NRT can't see device anymore and when trying go into revocery there is only android exclamation point
[Nexus 5 Android Development] grgana:
Try to connect your phone in bootloader mode, its mandatory to connect your phone with computer, trr first to reboot your PC maybe..

Flash twrp push files to phone from PC and then restore some nand.backup or custom rom, i had situation like yours with my n4 and that's how i got my way out of the bootloop..goodluck

The exlamation mark is stock recovery, but i couldn't manage to enter it no matter what key kombo i pressed..
[Nexus 5 Android Development] olsenoz:
NRK dont work for me, triend in bootloader mode, NRK can see my Nexus in bootloader mode but stock flash wont work, Lg Flashtool helped me. Recovered to 4.4 and then OTA update. bootloader is locked and now i can send my Nexus to service (power button problem starts;/ )
[Nexus 5 Android Development] grgana:
Eh, sorry to hear that man, bright side is BL is locked and you can send it to service, hope you have warranty, did you tried to slightly smack it against table or with fingers near the power button, try to google that problem if you haven't already..
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jjcdennis:
Gave this tool a shot this AM on a Nexus 5 D821, I was lucky enough to be given. I have to say I was wary when I started, but the tool worked flawlessly for unlock and root. The on-screen instructions were excellent and made the process simple. Thanks kindly for your work on this toolkit.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tersnaus:
For me, the problem was that undo-perm-recovery-signed.zip was not in C:\Program Files (x86)\WugFresh Development\Nexus Root Toolkit\data\Root_Files, it was actually in C:\Program Files (x86)\WugFresh Development\Nexus Root Toolkit\data\Recovery_Stock. I copied the file over to /Root_Files and the script worked for me.

I'm assuming this is a bug in NRT? Anyways, hope that helps you.
