OK so I got this to work but it apparently failed to install cwm.

I am working on a new release right now. But for those of you who said the new 4.1.1 broke root for you. You need the new SuperSU:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1538053

Either boot into temp CWM with my toolkit and flash the zip.

Or you can unzip that, and replace the Superuser.apk and Su binary in the /data/root/JB folder in my toolkit directory.

For those of you who are having any other issues about the toolkit not performing certain operations, please just wait for my next release. It should fix any of these problems.

Also let me know if you have any feature requests for v1.6. I am aiming to finish v1.5.2 today, but I am cool taking suggestions for the future. One idea I had was to create some sort of root explorer type of application, by querying 'adb shell ls' cmds and populating them into a new pull down list, to traverse down a directory structure.. and then maybe include the options to mount sytem rw/ro kinda thing, and be able to delete files and what not. Just a thought.

That shouldn't happen, will make sure this works consistently on v1.5.2. As a workaround solution, you can use the advanced utilities Flash permanent to recovery button, and then navigate to the CWM img. They are contained within the toolkits /data directory.

When clicking the root button, all it does for me is Check to make sure ADB is good and then it says connected and that's it.. nothing else happens. just letting you know. I'm on 4.1.1 too.

Ty for the quick response I got a recovery IMG and flashed via fastboot. Worked like a charm and everything is great so far. Ty for this great software

drivers aren't installing for me. I'm using 1.5.1 and there's no option for 4.1.1.

I have no idea when the official JB OTA's will hit the Verizon devices. That's the device I have and I got impatient and flashed JB ROM by vicious. It's pretty much vanilla with a different kernel. But the dev provides a stock kernel as well. I will try to find you a link.

Certainly not here to bash... Questions are always welcome.

@Wugfresh
Previously i followed your instructions and installed the 4.0.4 upgrade.
I am not looking to flash any other rom, at least not now.
I followed the following link to upgrade to 4.0.4.
http://wugfresh.com/Help/index.htm#page=Upgrade_to_4.0.4_on_Verizon.htm

After the official upgrade i will upgrade using your toolkit if possible.

Thanks for the great work :)

For those with driver trouble I had the same issue. Use the drivers Wug included with the kit. Profit.

+1 (for a linux version)

I know all the cool kids use linux, but I have always been a windows geek, what can I say? :p I will think about it...

In other news.. I haven't slept since yesterday and v1.5.2 is nearly done. I pretty much just got rid of all the batch script, and re-wrote everything in autoit. Everything has been running great since. I am going to have to run through all my tests again which takes a little while, but it should be ready for download sometime in the afternoon. :)

If any of you catch something small like a typo, let me know before I compile this thing again.

Not saying I haven't done something wrong but everything I try in the drivers guide does not work at all. I haven't tried anything else since I can't get passed the driver setup.

toolkit 1.5.1
JB 4.1.1

will wait on update to toolkit and try again

This is great! .. I like to do stuff the old fashioned adb way .. but I am purposely reverting back to stock to try this out.

Just for curiosities sake: Do we have to use SuperSU? I've noticed everyone start using it, but is there a reason for this or an option to use Superuser? I have no problems if this is the way to go, I'm just comfortable with Superuser/Elite...

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

    VERSION 2.1.4 - This program will automatically bring together all the files you need to unlock and root your device in a few clicks, or flash it back to stock and re-lock it. You can also use this program to backup/restore all your important data, flash zips, set file permissions, push and pull files, install apps, generate logcats/bugreports, and much more! With the included file association options, you can perform tasks like flashing zips, installing apps, restoring android backup files, and flashing/booting img files with just a double click! The program includes a full featured interface for automating tasks in TWRP, enhanced restore features, an in-built auto-updater/notification system, ‘any build’ mode, advanced restore features,’NRT- Live Log’ for viewing the adb/fastboot cmds that are run in the background, quick tools utilities, and tools for taking screenshots/screen-recordings. All the latest official Android builds and Nexus devices are supported. The program intelligently and selectively downloads the files it needs for your device and makes sure you are using the latest files available. The program can even auto-detect your device and build. This release brings full Marshmallow root support plus all automated features by utilizing a new system that no longer requires modified boot.imgs. Check out the updated changelog for a more comprehensive breakdown of the feature set and changes in this release.

    ~ my goal for this project is make the entire process as smooth and simple as possible ~

    Hey, great work! Have you ever thought about making a mac or linux port? I'd really love to help you make one!

    For those of you who have 1.5.5 already, the 1.6.0 update package is officially live now. I am updating my site right now with new information and the full version.

    I was able to do everything I set out to do in this release. Support for the Nexus 10, 4, new 3G Nexus 7. 4.2.0 support, and what I spent the most time on - a fully web backed system, that autograbs the latest files the toolkit needs, and populates everything from text files I maintain on the web, making keeping the toolkit updated with the latest files nearly instantaneous.

    Lots more info coming. Enjoy ^_^

    p.s. thank you all for your patience.

    Working on it now. Been really busy though with another project though; https://capsules.io/ks.html

    I will try my best to get the toolkit updated asap in my limited free time. There are some other changes/updates I need to integrate as well, but not too many. Cheers.

    Coding went pretty smooth this round. v1.8.3 is up. (Yes, it supports 4.4.3)

    Enjoy ^_^

    Ok, so my coding is going really well today. I really think I will be done tonight. Yay!

    A word to the wise though; The program now uses Goo.im as the backend for everything because my host just couldn't handle it. They were nice enough to allocate me a large quantity of direct downloads (more than enough) through the program, but there is a daily cap; 30 per day per unique IP. That said, triggering a check for update, will register as a download because it downloads a small text file. So I recommend against checking for updates repeatedly today because your IP will get blocked and when the update is actually out later tonight you won't be able to use the updater, and will have to download the full version.

    That said, the full version is going to be SIGNIFICANTLY smaller. The toolkit will now be entirely backed by an automated file list on the web. This means, the toolkit will only grab the files it needs. So if you only have a Gnex, it won't come with all the files for every single nexus device, but rather.. it will download them when you select that in the toolkit (if it doesn't detect them already in the local directory).

    The device and build lists will now be populated from a text file that the toolkit can grab from the web. That means, in the future when a new build comes out, I can make it so the toolkit self updates within 20 minutes with everything it needs, and that build will be listed. Same goes for autoupdating CWM, TWRP, and SuperSU. The toolkit will therefore will always be up to date with the latest files. And I wont have to go crazy hard coding all of this like I have been.

    Ok.. Back to coding for me. Thank you all for your patience. The slight delays in this release will ultimately speed up all future updates forever. ^_^
