Hi, first of all let me introduce myself my name is Craig Roberts I am a coder for Roblox games but I am here primarily to get everything up to date and help the Unified Android Toolkit to grow again. Mark has been unwell for quite some time and is unable to use a keyboard or mouse and a lot of people who promised to answer emails and keep the site up to date for him (and for which he paid them) have let him down so I offered to step in and get everything back in working order again. This is his only source of income right now and I have known him for a long time so I wanted to help.

Email support and missing Toolkit codes: If you have sent an email and not been responded to then I apologise. I will start working through the backlog but missing codes will take priority so if you have purchased a code for a pro/ultimate version of the Toolkit and not had an answer please help me out, do not open a paypal dispute, email me at skipsoft.toolkit@gmail.com and I will send your code right away (during office hours). You can also go to http://skipsoft.net/donate/getcode.php and enter your paypal email to get your code. There seems to be a problem with paypal processing hotmail addresses which has caused a lot of unresponded payments and I assure you this has not been on purpose and will be sorted out.

Please wish Mark well in his slow recovery, he is upset he cannot maintain the Toolkit but I have promised I will stick by it as it is a great kit he has developed over the years and has helped out many thousands of users. I reiterate this is his only source of income so please support him as best you can if the Toolkit has ever been a help to you (I know its saved my neck on more than 1 occasion which is why im here today). Any support and/or purchase of a code will help ease the worry of him looking after his family.

Feel free to retweet and share this post to get the message out that the Toolkit is not dead and we can make it great again (and help Mark out).

Thank you and stay tuned for more updates, Craig.

Pro/Ultimate User Auto Update Available:

The device module has been updated for all builds up to the latest version. All the firmware and OTA firmware images have been added to the firmware section on the Google devices and the OTA images added for the OnePlus devices. These can be downloaded and flashed directly through the Toolkit for your convenience.

If you find any of this useful PLEASE donate to a device project. You can do it through the Toolkit (after selecting the device at startup) or from the link at https://www.skipsoft.net/?page_id=703 so you get the right code fast and can update to the latest version. You can also go ULTIMATE mode and unlock ALL device modules for the lifetime of the Toolkit. Follow us on twitter at https://twitter.com/skipsoftnet for posts/updates.

I just fixed this problem and updated the module files for pro and public users. I forgot to include the path name when flashing the image.zip file so it could not be found and gave an error.

Autoupdate (pro) or delete module files using ToolkitClean.exe to download new module files and all should now work.

Thank you for your help as always. One quick question. Do you know what version if I'm in the united state should I be running?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mskip:
You can find what version you are running now using option 24. As google controls the builds they are the same regardless of location or carrier so if you want the latest version just flash

NDE63P.

I followed your instructions above after it failed and even put the program on another computer to start fresh. And that's when I got this error
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mskip:
If you used the unlocker before I updated the Toolkit to remove it then you don't need to do anything. I was asked to remove it so the creator could keep control of the version used, not because there was anything wrong with the way the Toolkit utilized the unlocker.

Thanks brother
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mskip:
The (too many links) is a very hard error to pinpoint. It can be caused by a conflicting device in one of your usb ports (fixed by switching to another port). It could be a corrupted download (fixed by downloading the firmware image again and trying re-attempting to flash it). It may even be a driver problem. Sometimes just doing the same process again can fix the problem. I have had the same error over the years and it seems to fix itself, I have never been able to narrow it down to a single thing..

Did you get the too many links error on both computers?

Did you use the same firmware file that you downloaded on both computers?

Which drivers did you install?

Mark.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] treIII:
I've deleted the kit and refurbished

Re downloaded the image several times. I have the Verizon variant of the phone and I'm beginning to wonder if even though I have unlocked the bootloader there is something else interfering. I've tried it without the kit also on with adb and fastboot and it fails also.

---------- Post added at 01:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:43 AM ----------

In order to flash images on the pixel XL the flashing process must be fast boot boot not fastboot Flash. I'm not sure Hal your automated process is trying to do it through the command

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] CZ Eddie:
Why is it listed as an "HTC Google Pixel"?

It's not an HTC phone.

This would be like listing "Foxconn Apple iPhone".

Just a heads up.

I was confused when I couldn't find the Pixel at first.

Thanks for the software.

I aim to single-phone donate soon. :good:
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Scott:
Actually the phone is made by HTC and is an HTC Phone branded by Google. This has been known for months and is in the AOSP source code.

Google only designed the phone. HTC Made it.

Should he change the title, well that is for him to decide. But it is an HTC phone.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] CZ Eddie:
No, the phone is not "Made by HTC".

It's made by Google and manufactured by HTC.

Big difference.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] M9guy:
I think " Scott " is right. All google did was blueprint what they wanted which I"am sure Htc probably came up with the whole set up and google just said what they wanted, and Htc made it happen. After all it does have Htc source code that says its Htc's baby and google stamped their name on it. Its all just the google name put on a Htc phone.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] wase4711:
will the toolkit be updated to include root methods, or are you waiting for TWRP to release a recovery for the Pixel?

thanks
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mskip:
Where did you get the latest google drivers from (link please)? Adb/fastboot in the toolkit are the latest so the drivers must have been the problem.

Chainfire doesn't like his autoroot methods redistributed.

I can easily add an option (for now) to link to the autoroot or boot-to-root page (so you can download it directly from chainfire), then let the Toolkit take over the rest of the procedure once the file has been downloaded. I will start on that tonight.

I talked to Dees_Troy and he still has a lot of work to do on twrp so I doubt that will be out anytime soon.

Mark.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mskip:
That's wierd.. The adb/fastboot files in the Toolkit are exactly the same as the minimal adb files and the drivers from the 15 second adb installer are older than the Toolkit drivers. Which drivers from the Toolkit did you originally install as there are several different types to install?

Either way as long as everything worked out thats great and it should mean you can use the Toolkit without problem now if you wish.

Mark.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mskip:
I have always added the manufacturer just to inform users who made the device. I have done this with all the Nexus devices even though it isn't strictly needed. Yes the Pixel is Google's design and yes HTC had a big input and manufactured the device but for the love of google (with the Pixel being their first, and expensive baby) I will drop the HTC from the beginning and call it the Google Pixel. I hope people can find it easier in the Toolkit device list then.

Mark.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mike02z:
Seriously?? The phone was designed by Google. It was only built by HTC not "made" since you seem to want to split hairs. Apple does the same thing with Foxconn, do you call an iPhone a Foxconn device?

The Pixel is NOT an HTC device. It is a Google device. I could care less if he calls it elephant sh*t in his tool.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] wase4711:
thanks Mark; Until TWRP rolls around, there isnt a whole lot of reasons to be rushing out to root, so take your time..

thanks again!

Thanks mate yeah they are the same ones the Toolkit uses. The "too many links" error is a hard one to diagnose but I think it usually comes down to driver problems.

Im Having this problem with a Pixel Xl (google store) trying to flash a factory image :confused::(
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mskip:
I dont know if its the reason why your flash failed but your active partitions seem to be set to "b" rather than "a" (the stock image is trying to flash to slot b).

You can see your active partition slot if you boot to fastboot mode.

If your active slot is set to "b" then you can boot to fastboot mode, open a command prompt (option 26 from the toolkit main menu) and type the following:

fastboot-toolkit set_active a <return>

The bootloader status should now show the active partition is set to slot "a"

Leave the device in fastboot mode and run the flash routine again.

I'm using the Pro version and bootloader unlock and root went incredibly smooth. However, when trying to install BusyBox, I continue getting an error regarding the adb server version, and it continues to try. Also, when I first plug in the device an error about "smartsocket" not working. I switched to PTP mode, and uninstalled all previous versions of adb on my PC. Thoughts? Thanks for the wonderful tool, by the way. I'm sure this is something dumb on my end.
