Hey!

Since the last two or so versions of WugFresh RootKit I am encountering some behaviour I can't fix.

The Kit checks the versions of the modified boot.img, the TWRP Recovery and SuperSU on every start.

I updated them via Dependency Downloader but the "Continoue" button stays gray, forces me to Exit the Downloader which gives me a "nothing is up to date" message but after that I can use the RootKit without any troubles.

It does this at every start or when I try to autodetect the android build I am using.

See attached Screenshots 1-5.

I also get an Error message and a force close of the Rootkit when I try to open the "About NexusRootToolKit" in the Help section, see Screenshot 6

I have a rooted Nexus 5 32GB with Android 5.01 and Franco Kernel r69. No custom rom.

Is it because of the Kernel? I didn't have anything changed via Franco Updater.

My PC is running on Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit

Of course I tried to uninstall and reinstall the Rootkit and deleted everything I found on my HDD, but that didn't seem to work.

Any ideas?

Thanks and happy holidays!

virtualbox?

hi, can I use the toolkit with ubuntu and virtualbox (running windows 7)? :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] WugFresh:
I haven't myself, but other users have reported success.

After the root, the youtube app is gone... why?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] SacredDeviL666:
same here without the last error... it seems that the recovery image isnt getting downloaded completely... when i tried to download it from twrp site 2.8.3.0 gets stuck at 99 and doesn't go further...

see if you could manually download recovery image from mirrors and then try installing the kit...i am going to do the same now
[Nexus 5 Android Development] fairyshacker:
EDIT: solution found
[Nexus 5 Android Development] sutobe:
That wasn't the issue. I was able to download the latest recovery without problems from the TWRP website before to install it via adb on my phone, the image also shows fully downloaded in the Wugfresh data folder.

thanks though.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] automaddux:
quick question

Could I use this toolkit to return my device back to stock to where all my personal info will be hard to recover? I thought that I could just wipe everything in TWRP then flash the stock image but I read somewhere that you can still recover data if you are trying and there are more steps you need to take in order to make it more difficult.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] fatspirit:
Unrelated to NRT. Should be something or your side.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] WugFresh:
If you are really concerned about data recovery you could encrypt (settings > security) your device first prior to flashing stock. That would make it very difficult.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] datagubben:
Same here, YouTube app is gone.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] svarte:
Some people are reporting the same in SU latest beta thread. So I guess it's not toolkit issue

Just updated to NRT 2.0.2. I'm not seeing force flash or no wipe under options either. I've looked under all four tabs and they are just not there.

I am attempting to update from 5.0.0 to 5.0.1.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] zagorteney:
You should also try to look somewhere else. Maybe press Flash stock + unroot?

[Nexus 5 Android Development] zagorteney:
I'm not rude. I just don't know how to behave. I grove up in the middle of forest.

Happy flashing, Zagor
[Nexus 5 Android Development] kbocek:
And in retrospect I realize my post may have been misinterpreted. "My unfailing mind" and "Captain Uselesspost" was referring to *me* and not you. I simply *have* to give up on humor in text-based messaging. I have pissed off way too many people unintentionally.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] zagorteney:
You didn't pissed me off in any way. If you look around the forum, this is my job. Do not try to take it off me. :)

If people give up on humor, they give up off life.

P.S. I have two boys, 7 and 11. Yes, they could pissed me, but hey, it's family..
[Nexus 5 Android Development] kalo93406:
I've tried to restore a nandroid several times and i'm not having luck in 2.0.2. Previous versions of wugfresh seemed to work well and go completely through the process and every thing was great. With this version it has gone through the process and i see a screen that says something like "waiting for restore to complete and device to boot up"... then goes to a screen that says maybe finished and Ok. I click to close it and the phone is sitting in TWRP just doing nothing. Eventually I hit reboot and it either boots to "google" and nothing happens or sometimes it said in TWRP no system found or something like that. I have no idea what i'm doing wrong. Everything was always smooth with wugfresh until now. Any ideas?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] madbat99:
Why not just restore your nandroid in twrp, without wugs?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] kalo93406:
I could try to do that. I don't see the nandroid on my computer, just the folder. If I can find the file and transfer it to my computer, is it a file that can be restored via TWRP with no problem? Thank you

5.0.1 Stability Issues

I updated my Nexus 5 to 5.0.1 yesterday and have now seen my first stability issue. Tried to make a call and the phone just shut down. Restarted and it simply did it again. Did this something like three times . Then my wife tried to call me and it shut down after answering.

I am debating downgrading back to 5.0.0. I was having some texting issues there but it looks like *those* issues still exist with 5.0.1

Anyone else having problems?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] pkelly517:
Have you tried a backup and factory reset?

Phone shutdowns on calls aren't a common problem.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] kbocek:
Meh. Yes, this was the first time I tried the "No Wipe Mode." I was hoping that 5.0.0 -> 5.0.1 would be a small enough jump I could get away with it.

I guess I'll wipe and reinstall.

But how can Google get away with it? How is their install different than NRT?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] kbocek:
Okay, did a full wipe and reinstall AND also did the recommended factory reset after the reinstall. Hopefully things will be more stable. Actually between the local backup and the Google account backup more was recovered than I remember from the last time I did a wipe. Still some hassle between reactivating one app with the vendor, reloading my music, re-pairing with my car, etc.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] kbocek:
Just to put my mini-thread to rest, my problems were not caused by 5.0.1. Coincident with updating to 5.0.1 I had a broken screen replaced. Turned out the vendor screwed up the replacement. Several contacts were bent and interfering with calls directly on the phone. It was confusing since bluetooth calls were working fine. In any case, took the phone down this morning and the vendor fixed the problems. Phone is working fine.

I'm amazed how traumatic a non-working phone is. Funny, just read an article on psychosis among iPhone users who lose their phones. Guess I'm not immune.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] saritamar:
So, everything seemed to have worked fine with the root process until it asks me to open Supersu which I do, and I get the following message:

"There is no SU binary installed, and Supersu cannot install it."

The device is a brand new Nexus 5 with Lollipop.

Here's the log and screenshot from NRT.

I'd appreciate the help.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] marf28101995:
Just flash SuperSU in recovery.. The 2.40 is the more stable

Backup failed

Hi there,

Updated NRT to latest version and tried to do a nandroid backup. It created a folder on the PC but it was empty. Tried again and same thing happened. Anyone else have this issue?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] MrBiggzz:
MD5 check fails

I was trying to flash forward to 5.0.1 and NRT keeps giving me a MD5 mismatch. *I downloaded a MD5 checking app to my PC and it verified from what is on Google's site.

I followed your directions to get a updated definitions file which I did and updated it*

Nexus Root Toolkit v2.0.4

Masterlists:

- LatestToolkitFiles.ini	3010

HAMMERHEAD-HAMMERHEAD: Android 4.4.4 - Build: KTU84P

Live log initiated [2015-02-12]:

Information: Analyzing factory image; please be patient...

Still comes back with a mis-match.

I even went as far as uninstalling NRT and then wiping out the folder, rebooting and downloading NRT fresh and still get the mis-match

I'm currently running 4.4.4 on a N5.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Cowboy_Henk:
I'm on 4.4.4 and I tried a nandroid backup with NRT. It pushes a script and on my nexus 5 a backup starts. It says it will backup 3 partitions and the file size is 4785 MB , the available space is 4890 MB.

But after a couple minutes the script stops and NRT goes on rebooting my nexus 5 and says " Pulling "/data/media/0/TWRP/BACKUPS/064a700f0acd84a3/2015-02-25--23-10-03" (please be patient; it can take 10-20 minutes)..."

After a couple of minutes it is done but when I check the file size it is only 1,5 GB!!???

This doesn't seem correct.

Previously I made nandroid backups in TWRP itself and it made backups with file size of 4,7 GB.

So what gives??

Another question, when I transfer a succesfull twrp nandroid backup (4,7 GB) to my pc and when I try to transfer it again from pc to nexus 5 with usb, the computer says: can't tranfer data.ext4.win000 because it's too large? But I have enough space available??

Hi WugFresh.. I was on Cataclysm and I have tried to return on stock 5.01 but it's seem's that your latest version don't erase the custom file... When I flash the factory image from google server and after reboot, I'm always on Cataclysm... What I have making wrong....?

What's the difference bethween the forced install and the not forced?

I've tried to install without forced and got error, that system file is missing.

I've tried with forced. The install was okay and the phone has started.

Is the forced install as good as the not forced?

Thanks in advance! :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] WugFresh:
5.1.0 is now added, just hit update in the kit to get the latest masterlists. If you are coming from 5.0.1 or 5.0.2 it seems that no-wipe mode is working well, at least it did for me.

Cheers,

[Nexus 5 Android Development] WugFresh:
Force flash is recommended for flashing any lollipop build, or really any flash operation - and it is technically equivalent. That missing system.img error is know to happen on lollipop without it, even when using Google's included flash-all.bat ("manual" method)

The force flash ensures all files are flashed. The difference is that it overrides the checks to make sure you selected the correct device, and individually flashes all the files, rather then attempt to flash them in a single "fastboot -w update.zip" cmd.

As long as you have selected the correct device, its fine and recommended.

Hi

I bought Nexus 6, so i'm selling N5. Before to do it I want to report it to stock and unroot.

following the procedure, before to "lock oem" I run "Flash stock+unroot"...the software donwloaded and installed Android 5.1.0 - Build: LMY47D....everthing seems ok except I've just realized it seeing only 16gb of storage (while I have the 32gb Nexus 5...)

could you help me pls?

ciao!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Bear3825:
Just do a factory reset on the phone gannjunior. That will fix the problem right up.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] gannjunior:
Thank you Bear!!

I did it and it worked!!! :)

I believe now I can run the "OEM lock" to relock the bootloader, correct?

Thanks!!!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Bear3825:
Yes that's all you'll need after that.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] gannjunior:
I did it.

It seems it works but at the end, if I check, I'm continuing to see "lock state" = unclocked...

Will the backup feature on this toolkit back every single thing on my phone? I was wondering if there's an 'image like' back up that will return my phone to just as it is right now, I was going to try the no wipe date root but not sure it would work with 5.1.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] dbareis:

My drivers are ok, NRT is updated, I have tried with and without wipes, and force flash is checked... So what can I do more...?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] zagorteney:
That's because system.img won't exctract properly somethimes. Try to flash manually. It will work.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Oscarandco:
Thank's ... I will try that tomorow...;)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] WugFresh:
Not needed. Enable "force flash" to correct this known issue on lollipop with Google's standard flash procedure. Force flash corrects this issue.

Chunk Error

When flashing from 5.0 to 5.1 using the flash stock + unroot option, everything is flashed okay less the system.img which gets a "chunk error".

I've done the re-install 2 times with the same error. Should I continue trying? Anybody know of any reason why I cannot get this to work?

I'll next try to connect to USB 2.0 to see if that's the problem.

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] WugFresh:
Switching over to USB 2.0 is good idea. Yes to just trying over. That problem will be resolved by alternate USB ports and/or cables.

Hi guys, i am unable to restore a backup taken with WugFresh's NRT. If i try to restore it from TWRP, it fails at 97% (while restoring data) and if i reboot it has restored only the system but not the data. If i try to restore it from PC, in NRT i'm unable to select any partition on the restore menù. I'm on latest TWRP. The problem seems to be a file called data.ext4.win000. I've posted a thread in Nexus 5 Q&A also. Can you help me?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] fatspirit:
[MENTION=3110798]WugFresh[/MENTION], can you add an option to format cache to Flash stock + Unroot mode? I've had issues with it (cache corruption) after going from 5.1 to 5.0.1 to apply OTA update.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] WugFresh:
Yeah. I will have to do some testing. I think I tried before and it always resulted in bootloops for me. Maybe if I initiate the format at the beginning instead (pre flash).
[Nexus 5 Android Development] dokie80:
thanks alot for this tool... make root easier for noob like me.

successfully backup, unlock bootloader, flash twrp and root, and restore nexus 5 LMY47I..

some apps didnt restored such as BBM, whatsapp though.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] WugFresh:
Adb backup backs up free apps + app data from all apps. So you should use Google to restore paid apps first, then apply your backup.

I can't account for variance and inconsistencies with adb backup however. Its known to not be the best backup solution. Once rooted you can use better backup solutions like the paid app titanium backup.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] lordstein:
thank you very much !!!!!!, my nexus 5 is gradually failure the screen when was rooted and the bootloader unlocked. i cant use another tool (like twrp recovery zip)because I can not see anything in the nexus 5 screen, this tool locked the bootloader and reboot the tampered flag. now i can send to warranty to united states.

Hi guys!

The clean flash of a new image with the toolkit will definitely clean the device from my data and files?

Because I've need to sell my N5 and I do not want that "some pictures" ? goes all around the web...

- Tapatalked with Nexus 5 -
[Nexus 5 Android Development] WugFresh:
Yes. Unlike a factory reset which just deletes the address of the data, whereby specialized data recovery software could be used to find it - A clean flash actually overwrites your data partition with the stock userdata.img. Your original data is gonzo.

Hi, I've been considering rooting my device but I can't afford getting the device wiped. Does this tool prevent that from happening when rooting?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] madbat99:
If you have never unlocked your bootloader, you have to do that first. Its very easy, one click, but it will wipe your data. Just copy or backup all your important data.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] supertanno:
I've unlocked it before to install the Android L Dev Preview, but have relocked it since.

Argh! If you are going to unlock, why would you ever relock, short of returning or selling your device?

Yes it is. You must wipe everything though, including internal SD (data/media)
