Hi, I have a little problem with my Nexus. I rooted my device but after reboot before checked the root, I lost connection. My PC doesn't see Nexus in all modes. I only see "device didn't recognize".

N7 stuck on spinning dots, need help!

Hi all,

I really hope you can help me. My device is a N7 2013 Wifi. I had Andoid perfectly working.

I decided to flash CleanRom, so I rooted it, installed a custom recovery and flashed the rom using this.

The rom never botted, I was always stuck on spinning dots.

Then I found this wonderful tool, I used Back to Stock option, but the results are always the same, spinning dots, I was waiting for a long time, even hours, but nothing happened. I tried to factory reset it, after flashing, because I read it on the thread, but nothing.

If I try to reroot again, and flash a recovery and a custom rom, everything seems ok, but spinning dots.

Just a strange thing, that could help you, in this situation, if I try to reroot again it, the spinning dots pass, but I got stuck on Starting Apps screen. It's very strange, I lost many days and nights ... I really hope someone could help me. Thanks and regards from Italy! Marco

Hi, firstly thanks for creating such a brilliantly intuitive tool - it is much appreciated. I have used this to root and also to get rid of encryption.

My only question is, what happens with OTA updates? As you mentioned above with 2.0.0, will you always update the stock on your tool to be in line with the latest OTA? Also, 'no wipe mode' means no data will be erased during this process?

Thank you very much.

Hello dear members,

I have rooted my nexus 3 gt- i9250 using Nexus Root toolkit made by wugfresh

and flashed:

CyanogenMod 10.2.1 - maguro stable, gapp, superSU.

I read that Cyanogenmod has already a build-in superuser and I afraid that superSU will have conflicts with the build-in superuser. Please correct me if I am wrong..

Please tell me what is the best todo. Maybe I will have to flash again and this time I will not add superSU to the flash list on Nexus Root Toolkit...

Unlocked/Rooted Nexus 7 WiFi Android 5.0.2 update issue

Hi,

I have an Unlocked/Rooted (using NRT) Nexus 7 WiFi Android running Android 5.0.0 LRX21P. I got the notification for the OTA update to 5.0.2, but this keeps failing, not sure if this is because I rooted/unlocked the Tablet. When I rooted/unlocked I only used the "Stock" option and did not use a "Customer ROM".

I have tried using the NRT v2.0.0 to Sideload the update, but that also fails.

This is the NRT log:-

I then get the error that "The sideload Zip flashed was detected as different from what you were previously running, NAKASI-GROUPER: Android 5.0.0 - Build LRX21P, Auto-detection reports: unknown"

The file is from the google site for my device.

Any ideas where I'm going wrong?

Ideally I'd like to update to 5.0.2 without losing any data/apps or having to re-root again.

If there is no way to achieve this I did come across the FAQ's and found this option:-

"OPTION #1: Using “Flash Stock + Unroot” with ‘No Wipe Mode’"

I can't work out though if I followed the above and “Flash Stock + Unroot” with ‘No Wipe Mode’" if it would mean I would lose all the Personal Settings & App/Data I currently have or just update to 5.0.2 like the OTA would.

Thanks for your time.

Razorg-deb NRT 2.0.4 Stuck rooting

RESOLVED - As of 02-12-15 "files" updating upon launching NRT 2.0.4 now successfully Root my Nexus 7 (2013) LTE. One click and wait. How it should be. Thanks Wug!

I just installed 5.0.2 LRX22G OTA update on my Nexus 7 2013 LTE and I'm trying to reroot.

It still shows as unlocked.

I have Nexus 2013 Edition Mobile Tablet Android 5.0.2 LRX22G selected in NRT

I hit the Root button with And also flash : Custom Recovery checked

The device is detected and reboots and goes to the screen that says START at the top, has the android lying on his back with the hood open, etc... and it just stops there. The power button does nothing. The volume up/down buttons do nothing. The Root script eventually times out.

The only thing I can do from this point is to hold down Power for 10sec to power off/reboot.

If I have not cancelled the root script yet then upon rebooting into android NRT pushes over root files and reboots again (I'm recounting this part by bad memory) and eventually ends up in TWRP and NRT tells me my device is rooted. However it is not rooted according to RootCheck, or BusyBox, or TWRP Manager.

The live log shows the following:

Connectivity Status: ADB Device Connected

Device not showing in Windows Explorer/Busybox not installing

Hello,

I have not been playing around with my Nexus 7 (2012 WiFi) much since returning to school but my fiance wanted me to be load some books onto the device that I had downloaded for her.

I had previously unlocked and rooted my device using SkipSofts Nexus ToolRoot application with ease but upon trying to root the device today I am having a lot of trouble getting the device to show up in the explorer window so I can load these files.

So, I logged on to XDA searched a little bit and decided to give Wug's Toolkit a try to see if it would be any different. First of all I just wanted to say I found this toolkit a little bit easier to navigate than Skips but they both do their job, I appreciate both developers helping the community out.

Anyway, my problem is that first and foremost I can not get my Nexus 7 to show up in the explorer unless I check it off as a PTP device. All drivers installed correctly according to the toolkit and when I boot the device into fastboot mode it says that it is unlocked. When I use Wug's toolkit to root the device the process goes smoothly and it informs me, as did Skips's toolkit, to enable superuser and install busybox. Superuser is installed and granted access but when I try to install busybox (V 1.23.1) to either /system/xbin or /system/bin it always informs me that busybox is installed but that:

"it does not appear to be the version that you selected to have installed, you may want to try the installation again but this time using a different installation location."

I have searched this forum a little but I am admittedly strapped for time. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Help with soft-bricked N7 - locked bootloader

Used NRT in “force-flash mode” to flash Lollipop *before* unlocking bootloader. So now I’m soft bricked. I can access fastboot mode on N7. Question: what [if anything] can I do now? Should I use any of the functions available in flashboot mode on the N7 [restart bootloader or recovery mode]? OR, If I can still access NRT, which mode would I use: “flash stock + unroot -> soft-bricked/bootloop” OR “UNLOCK”?

My first nandroid backup, please advice

I'm new to modding, I just used NRT to unlock, root and install Cyanogenmod 12 on my Nexus 7 2102.

Everything went ok, NRT is really a good piece of software.

Now the nexus just finished downloading all my apps and I'd like to do a full backup just in case.

I tried nandroid backup from NRT and the nexus rebooted and now it has the TWRP screen with Install, Wipe, Backup, Restore and the other buttons and on my pc there is a message: Waiting for the backup to complete and for your device to boot back up. It's like that for the last 15 minutes.

Do I need to keep waiting or do I have to start the backup from the TWRP interface?

I tried to run the backup for all the partitions from the TWRP, but it told me that there is no available space on the internal storage.

I was under the impression that the backup would be saved on my pc, am I wrong?

Is there some way to solve the space problem?

First, thanks for making Nexus Root Toolkit available. I'm working with an unlocked 2012 1st gen 32GB Nexus 7 and a Mac. So NRT 2.0.4 is stuck running on Windows 7 in VirtualBox.

Most everything works as expected after following your steps and thorough instructions. An "asus Nexus 7 (9999)" is identified as connected through the virtual USB. The ADB Fastboot Drivers install as expected and an ADB Device is indicated as connected.

But a glitch occurs when the script puts the Nexus 7 into bootloader mode. The device shown in the virtual USB now changes to "Google, Inc Android", a driver installation Wizard starts, and there is no longer a connection to an ADB Device.

Problems with my Nexus 6

Yesterday I used the NRT to flash the latest 5.1 version on my Nexus 6 64GB coming from stock 5.0.1 with the Franco Kernel. I followed every step, first going back to the stock kernel and than I used the Flash Stock + Unroot button. Everyting worked perfectly, I did a clean install with the latest 5.1 version and my phone booted normally when finished. I took the usual steps to set my phone up and running again and when it was finished i noticed something really weird!! My Nexus 6 has lost more than 35GB of its internal Memory!! Could it be that there is a new partition made for 5.1 and the older verion including apps, data etc is still present? Looking at the Memory that seems to be lost that makes sense, I used half of the 64GB.

Maybe you guys can help me a bit, I really want my memory back :) I looked under advanced utillities and already noticed Fastboot Erase and Fastboot Format to wipe partitions of the memory but I haven't got a clue which one to use. I don't mind wiping eveything again and do another clean install, as long as I get my Internal Memory back!!

Wug's toolkit

Hello,

This morning i installed Wug's toolkit to flash the original factory image on my Nexus 7 2012.

I'm not nearly as tech savvy as you guys, but Wug's tool kit was very easy to use.

Everything went smoothly until the device rebooted after the image was flashed.

The tablet had battery drain issues, (yeah I know, this is why I wanted to try to restore to the factory image), even when plugged in to charge.

It was plugged in to my PC and the charge icon was on.

During reboot the Google icon and an unlock icon showed but then the device went dead.

I can not get the device to power back up or get it to go to boot loader.

After the device went dead, I plugged into the wall charger for several hours.

NEXUS7 2012 wifi 16Gb 5.1 problems with downgrading

Since 5.1 OLTA device is effectively switching off if not in active use. It then needs rebooting to activate. If left alone it is rebooting continuously on its own. I have done all the standard things, clear cache, reload factory image, run it in safe mode all to no avail. I have tried it with vanilla apps only I have no personal data on device.

In frustration I thought I would try and push the device back to kitkat and picked up a link to the Nexus Root Toolkit v2.05 from one of the product support threads.

I have done what I thought was needed on three occasions but when the device restarts I still have 5.1. I am obviously missing a kit bit.

Drivers have been configured and debug allowed from developer.

I have n't backed/restored as I don't have any data.

I have unlocked the device using unlock bootloader.

I have run Root.

I have flashed stock choosing kitkat 4.4.4 wifi.

i have then tried to relock OEM but not sure if that has worked I get a bold black screen with an unlocked padlock in boot up process which goes when running.

The event logs are attached .

Anyone know what I am doing wrong?
