I have a Nexus 9 bricked by the 5.0.2 update. The Soft-Bricked option doesn't seem to work because my device isn't unlocked. Is there any hope for me in the tool?

My Nexus 7 was bricked the same way, not unlocked and unable to get into recovery to try a reset. Also not able to get it to unlock via the toolkit nor adb. Been trying since November to get it fixed and others as well, seem Google and Asus only fix is to pay for the motherboard to be replaced. Hopefully you have better luck ?

Hello... So I have found a bug. The dependency updater says that I have an update, while everything is updated and it says to download + update all file dependecies. So I press that buton and nothing happens. Also I can't tap the "continue" button. I just have to close the updater and then it says that the files are not up to date. Some screenies

Unlocking, rooting, relocking and unrooting simplified! (and much more!)

N6 rooted, stock 5.1 LMY47D, encrypted, DPI set to 384 (tablet mode). Provider T-Mobile (dutch)
Yesterday received the OTA 5.1.1 message.
Updating with NRT 2.0.5 worked indeed simplified.
Thanks for this great tool.

What I did to install OTA 5.1.1

First step: unroot using NRT.

Second: install OTA on the N6; result Stock LMY47Z.
(New for me because this version is marked for Sprint US only!)

Third: rooted again with NRT.

Fourth: reflashed FrancoKernel and Black Google Now launcher.
Set DPI from default value 560 to 384 with build.prop editor.

Result: N6 working like before.
Issue: after the update app Sygic did not start and was showing the splash screen only.
After forced close and clearing data/cache Sygic is working again.

EDIT
The OTA update removed WiFi.supplicant_WiFi_interval.
Sometimes wifi does not work icon displaying '!'.

I'm facing an issue when attempting to sideload an update. Once in stock recovery, the volume rockers won't work to select "apply update from ADB". I've done a quick search on this thread and checked the FAQ but found nothing to help.

Edit:
I'm trying to go from LMY47I to the new 5.1.1 OTA, and at the top it says Android System Recovery <3e>

Thanks all. I ended up having T-Mobile replace the device. Using the tool to update to 5.1.1 now.

Just wanted to give a big THANKS! shoutout to Wug, again, for making this process simple. It'd been nearly two years since I installed USB ROM. At the time I was deep into it all, using ADB, etc., from the command line, blah blah blah. Today I decided I wanted to see what Google has been up to, as I wasn't really using the strengths of USB ROM on my ancient Nexus 7 (2012). Wug's kit made it easy, after a little refresher reading and some backups, and his FAQs lead me to the fix of the "not all the storage is recognized" problem (factory reset, fortunately early on in the process). So while Titanium Backup restores my apps, I wanted to say, Thanks

I wanted to second this.

I have not modified an Android device since around the time ICS came out.

I just was tired of chasing that perfect rom and when I ended up buying the HTC One M8, it was just awesome.

Flash forward to last night, I have a Nexus 7 from 2012 that was pretty good for a while. It went unused for a while and was DEAD beyond belief.

Took a half hour of charging before I could even turn it on.

Once I got it on it was updated to 5.1 and things seemed really sweet but after a week or so it was just lagging left and right and was acting silly.

So I popped on here and like old times, you guys have been hard at work.

so a BIG thank you Wug. I used your toolkit last night to do EVERYTHING.

I took out all the old drivers, installed all new ones, backed up, unlocked, rooted, and then flashed Chroma to my 7 and she is running flawlessly.

This community is really just downright amazing and it is because of people like you dude.

Thanks again!

Yes, grateful shouts out to Wug always. Keeps on making the best (only?) toolkit for Nexus.

Struggled flashing cm 12 nightlies on my own. Opened toolkit, and 10 minutes later I'm running even better than stock on 2012. Jesus. Your program continues to blow me away. Thanks boss.

Bootloader issues

@WugFresh,
with all due respect..i think you're the only one who can help me now..;'( Sorry for sort of hijacking your thread for this issue mate.

My nexus 7 grouper had been running on multirom TWRP for sometime now and running Optipop custom rom by @freak_97 and Slimkat by the same guy for my secondary rom.. All was running well until a few days ago when my tab was acting strange...i was encountering some freezes and all i could do is to force reboot by holding the power button...and i also noticed that if i leave my tab idle for long it shuts itself unceremoniously and it takes a long time before i can turn it on again...it still boots into the OS..until last nigh when it finally happened..i was using chrome..which we know is a ram eater..my tab froze and again i was forced to do forced rebooot again..then i found it not able to get passed the google screen..just stuck there forever..so again i have to long press the power..yes i can still get into bootloader mode..when i tried going into recovery it only shows the TWRP intro screen and freezes there..so now i'm screwed. the only way i can get out of there was by doing the force rebot again and going into fastboot and power off from there (i found it weird because i have to press all 3 buttons together to successfully enter fastboot.

this morning i tried to flash factory image using your awesome NRT (latest build)..all goes well until the bootloader flash section where it fails with an unknown error message..i have tried many factory images for grouper..even the oldest (4.1.2) but to no avail..i researched about APX mode..i researched about NVflash because i'm suspecting my device is bricked...the weird thing, to add to the list, is that when i boot/turn on the device..on the google screen the menus are above..those selections like (Start, restart bootloader, recovery, power off) so that's weird right there and i know that my bootloader is screwed. i tried flashing the 4.23 bootloader (i found from here, xda, after hours of research that most bootloaders on google's factory images are screwed..so now i'm stuck with an Asus Nexus paperweight.;'(

Quick beginner question here:

I know this is the Nexus 7 forum, but since it should work exactly the same with my Nexus 4, I'm asking in this thread. I'm trying to backup my Nexus 4 and then install Cyanogenmod. I am a complete beginner to all this, and I have never had anything other than Stock Android on my phone - it is 100% stock and has never been rooted or anything. So I really have no clue about it.

I have googled a bit, and it's confusing, because most articles about this phone are 2-3 years old and I'm not sure how it is nowadays. I've seen somewhere, that I need to create a backup of my stock phone (Android 5.1.1), before I attempt to do anything. However, if I click "Create Nandroid Backup w/ Custom Recovery" on Nexus Root Toolkit, it says my device needs to be "unlocked", but if I want to unlock it using this Toolkit, it says, unlocking will wipe my data. So I'm completely confused about what to do now.

Is there maybe a current guide (at least for Lollipop) for Nexus devices, that explains EVERYTHING from backup to flashing the ROM, step by step, for someone who's never done this before? Or could someone help me out here? Thanks a lot!

Right, so thats me sick of the terribly unuasble device that is Nexus 7. It is terribly slow (5.1.1) and unusable and i think its time to do the shebang on it. I have purposely not tinkered with it until now but i dont think i can use it like this anymore.

Ive just downloaded the toolkit and now im waiting for the tablet to charge up before i start. Will report back. Thanks in advance....

Same here but i have flashed this rom http://www.slimroms.net/ speed is back again

Using AICP here; fantastic ROM.

Not sure why it's not available for you but I got the update to 2.8.7.0 and downloaded it a couple days ago. Installed on my 7 now.

The original TWRP 2.8.7 + was bad...........................it works now.

You can use an app named "Flashify" to download it.

@milski65
I didn't find any notification in this thread about TWRP 2.8.7.0. For that I posted it.
The current TWRP for Asus is 2.8.7.1.
