What *can't* NRT backup?

I normally do everything manually, but I've used NRT once or twice to check it out on my grouper, so when my less tech-savvy friend wanted to root his N5, I set him up with it. Unfortunately, I forgot to suggest he unlock his bootloader when he got the phone, so he's going to get his device wiped. I know NRT has most backup bases covered (apps + data, sdcard, SMS, call log, contacts, APNs), but what can't it backup? As a TiBU user, I'm going to guess it'll just be a few system things that aren't exactly tied to apps like saved wireless networks, bluetooth pairings, bookmarks, alarms, user dictionary, etc. all of which aren't a big deal to re-do. Is there anything "important" I might be missing? And before someone says something, I'm well aware of the possible risks of restoring backed up data, particularly system data, especially between ROMs. Just wanna make sure he doesn't "lose" anything that can't be re-created, thanks.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] WugFresh:
Any music, pic, or whatever on the sdcard you should just manually drag and drop to copy it onto a comp or sync with some cloud storage.

Googles adb backup is not as good as TiBackup. And you shouldn't bother trying to preserve system data or the check box for 'shared data". Also paid apps will only get the data backed up by the toolkit not the apk itself so let Google reinstall stuff first.

So just manually back up scard stuff (especially if there are any folders for games), then do an android backup file with no options checked. That will give you the cleanest results. Cheers.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] pyroguysf:
Awesome, thanks for the quick reply (and NRT). I practically never restore anything from Google or TiBU for compatibility's sake except for games without cloud or sdcard saves, but it's nice to have a backup just in case. My philosophy is pretty much to back everything up, but only restore if necessary. Just trying to avoid any "Wait, where's my ______?" - "Uhh, oops, my bad" conversations. Thanks again, much appreciated.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] "Haus":
Thank you for this tool.

I downloaded v1.8.3 in order to flash 4.4.3 to my rooted Nexus 5 without losing my data. When I press Flash Stock + Unroot and choose to Auto download 4.4.3, the Nexus Factory Image Downloader window appears. When the bar is full indicating that the download is complete, the Download Status changes to "Complete!", but nothing else happens. The Hashcheck, Extraction, and Flashing Stock lines all remain blank and the window remains until closed manually.

I have also tried downloading the image from Google and using "Other/Browse" to select it. Once I select the file, a hashcheck verification box appears. The md5 information is correctly populated by default. When I hit ok, the box disappears, but nothing happens.

It seems that the toolkit is getting hung up on hashchecks, and I'm not sure how to proceed. Any help that can be provided would be much appreciated.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] WugFresh:
I recommend reinstalling the toolkit and check your anti virus, it may be blocking, interfering or sanboxing certain files.

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 5 Android Development] "Haus":
Indeed, the answer was back to the basics. I re-downloaded the toolkit from a different mirror and reinstalled. Working now. Appreciate it!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] lferrin:
This toolkit is awesome. I used it to unlock and root my Nexus 5 when I first bought it. Last night used it to flash the stock 4.4.3 and start fresh. It has worked like a charm every time. It has been foolproof. Thanks a lot to the creators of this toolkit

[MENTION=3110798]WugFresh[/MENTION], AFAIK, there never was 6.41.6 of PhilZ (PhilZ hammerhead thread). And the latest is 6.47.3.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] toaomatis:
Today I installed NRT 1.8.4 to update my Stock + Rooted Nexus 5 4.4.2 to the latest version 4.4.4.

I downloaded the KTU84P file from the Google site and verified its hash with HashChecker 2.1.11. The file matches the hash given by Google.

But when I try to "Flash Stock + Unroot" my N5 and tick the "Browse... and I downloaded a factory image myself", the app tells me that the given hash doesn't match the image file.

Even when I let NRT download the image, it failes after several seconds with a hashcheck error.

What can be the cause of this?

I'm running Win7 x64 with all the latest updates installed.

Nevermind, after I rebooted my system. It works like a charm :D

Windows :rolleyes:

[Nexus 5 Android Development] SacredDeviL666:
Tried downloading and installing the Supersu 2 manually? when i was trying to root it didn;t and asked me to download it and then browse the file....

else if you say you are able to root with the previous Wug's Root Kit then root using the previous version and update the TWRP/CWM recovery manually. Supersu gets updated via playstore as well....

i tried..it doesnt work.gave in..i will try different computer.

Are super su and busybox apps on your device now? Make sure you open super su and see if it needs binary updates, then open busybox installer and install it.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jackylim:
Hi wug, I use your toolkits to root my N5. Now I got the update from ota 4.4.4. But my I think my root is gone. But the apps super su and busybox is still there. Can I ask that is it I still can use the toolkits to root? Just hit the the root button right? Or how do I do it to root again. Thanks for your advice.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] WugFresh:
Yup, if your bootlaoder is unlocked, just hit the root button again. No worries that those files are there.

Not working for me on Android "L".... I had read some folks claiming that it worked just fine, though I'm not sure what voodoo they have.

Not surprised, just... disappointed since I'd read elsewhere that it did work. Any timeline on having it working?

SuperSU says binary not installed and then says it can't install the binary.

Works well just gonna have to wait for it to pull android L preview boot.IMG so I can restore some stuff lol
[Nexus 5 Android Development] WugFresh:
I haven't done anything to NRT yet to make it root "L". Chainfire already figured out what's breaking SuperSU, when he updates the zip I will update the toolkit masterlists and add it to the kit.

For now if you want root on "L" - follow these instructions: https://twitter.com/ChainfireXDA/status/482384834468126720

You can use the toolkit "root" button first with custom recovery checked, to install custom recovery.. and then follow those instructions to fix root.

Any explanation on the non-working root apps? LMT Launcher, Greenify, Titanium Backup, all of these softboot your device and clear the Dalvik cache.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] motcher41:
You can unpack it if you wish but the tgz file is what the kit uses to flash. I used the kit at work to flash to L yesterday. Worked fine...the second time I tried. First time I got stock on cache writing.

---------- Post added at 08:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:51 AM ----------

You do realize L doesn''t use Dalvik at all right? Some apps just plain will not work until they are updated. Be patient.

Well, since Google's factory image is flashed, it doesn't matter, from what you're switching.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Globespy:
Thanks! So you mean a new version of the toolkit with the latest TWRP is coming - tomorrow perhaps (sorry about eta question, I just want to wait until it's all fixed before I root the phone)? I need the new version to backup the EMF stuff since I found out this phone has no separate internal storage for this (includes IMEI), which seems crazy! IMEI is like the phones stamp. I was amazed that this stuff could be over written?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Dolphin87:
Keep it up :good:
[Nexus 5 Android Development] WugFresh:
I don't need to release a new toolkit version just to update the files. If you have auto-updates enabled (which is enabled by default), the next time you start the toolkit it will update the masterlist files and tell you a new TWRP is available for download.

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 5 Android Development] maxal:
Here is how, find where the Wugfresh program is installed (on mine it is is in programs files x86) when you find the program open it and look for a folder called Data, open it, look for a folder called custom recovery and open it. Here you will find a folder named twrp, open it and you will see the old twrp delete it and replace it with the latest one from here http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/hammerhead
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Globespy:
Cheers mate!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] WugFresh:
The masterlists are already updated. You don't need to do all that, even though I did program it to scan that directory. Just restart the toolkit or update it and it will grab the latest masterlists and tell you a new TWRP is available.

Also, there is a feature in the toolkits main options menu for choosing your own custom recovery. I made it purely for this reason.

Regardless, like I said, all the latest TWRPs are now in the mastelists.

Hi,

new to this tool ... looks nice

Do I need nexwug_dl_nrtfiles.exe ? For what is that file ?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Proc73:
The tool doesn't seem to able to download the boot image or the latest twrp.

The necessary Hammerhead image is not in http://goo.im/devs/WugFresh/NexusRootToolkit/modified_boot_imgs

There isn't any Hammerhead stuff under WugFresh directory, where the tool tries to download them.

So, am I just missing some simple thing? Can't see anyone else complaining about it so it must be just me :P
[Nexus 5 Android Development] WugFresh:
Sorry. Goo.im wasn't allowing me to ftp when I was coding this. It uses androidfilehost by default, but if you go to the manual download interface it gives you an alternate download link. So in your case it showed you a goo link that doesn't work. I will check if Goo is no longer in read only mode. If so, I will get the few new files uploaded.

Here is a link to the file you want on androidfilehost.com

http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23212708291674359

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 5 Android Development] WugFresh:
Yes. I am assuming that your antivirus falsely flagged it, which is why you are asking. Please report it your provider so they can review it. They will deam it safe and white list it. If you don't want to take my word for it, take Softpedia's http://www.softpedia.com/progClean/Galaxy-Nexus-Root-Toolkit-Clean-213077.html

That file downloads any dependencies for your device/build from androidfilehost.com. All downloads ask for your explicit permission first.

Cheers.

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Notechis:
Yes. But I didnt want to ask that directly, cause I expected that as false flagging . Your kind answer is enough
[Nexus 5 Android Development] gbeaguilar:
Loved this tool for my nexus 7, I'm planning on using it with my nexus 5! I'm just wondering whether I should activate my new T-Mobile service ($30 plan) before or after I use this tool to unlock and root. Does it matter? I'm very new to gsm phones and wasn't sure if any of this tinkering will mess with the radios or prevent me from activating.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] WugFresh:
Doesn't matter. Rooting is an OS thing, has no relation to the service provider. Certainly does not mess with the radios nor will it prevent you from activating. It just installs su binary and Superuser.apk to the system partition.

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 5 Android Development] pkelly517:
The very first thing you should do when you get the phone is unlock the bootloader.

When you do this, everything on the phone will be gone.

The tool CAN mess with your radios, but only if you tell it to.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] gbeaguilar:
Good to know it won't mess with the radios unless I want it to. Thanks! Will be unlocking bootloader and rooting immediately
[Nexus 5 Android Development] WugFresh:
Yeah. I am waiting on TeamWin to get back to me and let me know if there is an openrecoveryscript switch for efs backup. I know I can code it without this.. But it would be my preferred method. Certainly a more streamlined way to do it.

For now just boot into TWRP and make an EFS backup manually. Cheers.

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 5 Android Development] pkelly517:
And copy the backup somewhere not on your phone. Dropbox, Drive, PC or any place you can get to it if your phone gets completely wiped.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] WugFresh:
Yes. Do that too. :)

I actually probably should add this to OP. I will do that shortly.

during root will the toolkit install a recovery that would prevent OTA updates

Hey I was on the final step and it looked like it was going to install twrp recovery which as i understand it would prevent from being able to receive ota updates...i probably was not going to flash rooms just root
[Nexus 5 Android Development] WugFresh:
It will only flash custom recovery if you checked the box under the root button, otherwise it just boots it temporarily to root. If you did flash it you can revert to stock recovery with restore stock recovery button in advanced utilities.

[MENTION=3110798]WugFresh[/MENTION] whenever I try to flash back to stock it tells me FAILED <remote: invalid bootloader image> when flashing the bootloader and then FAILED <remote: Unknown chunk type> when writing system. I used the toolkit to root and unlock my bootloader and I'm running 4.4.4 stock. I flashed the modified boot image and I think that's the problem but I can't find out how to get rid of it and my phone won't even make it to the Google splash screen now or boot into recovery. This happened once before but I just kept trying it until I was able to boot into recovery and wipe everything and then it still took another try or two but now I can't even get to the Google logo. I haven't been able to turn anything up on Google searches and I can't use my phone at all.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] pkelly517:
The heck with the Google logo. You need the android dude laying on his back fastboot mode.

Power off. Then turn on holding power and Vol- (or both Vol+ and Vol-).

Then flash your images via fastboot.

Of course, if you flashed the bootloader for another device, good luck.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] skyline_kid:
That's what I've been doing but it's not working. I boot into fastboot mode, select Flash Stock + Unroot with "Softbricked-Bootloop" selected and when I run it I get those errors and it doesn't even reboot my device at the end, it just stays in fastboot. I've tried with Force flash mode enabled and disabled but it still gives the same errors. When I reboot I just get a blank screen, no Google logo, no small Android guy laying on his back. Same with booting into recovery mode even after flashing TWRP successfully.
