The toolkit is not working for you or you are trying to do something else, like files copying?

This toolkit doesn't require something particularly to happen when you connect Nexus with your computer.

No, I wasn't trying to copy files or do anything else. I was just unassuming that like when I plug my phone in, that it pops up, meaning that drivers are installed. Maybe it is different with using Linux. I guess your script communicates in a different way. I loaded up the program in a terminal. but didn't try to execute anything. I will try that next.
thanks

Thanks. Donation on it's way. Confirmation number: 54H26414N6077264J

I'm having difficulty getting my Nexus 7 recognized via USB (shows it charging) but not mounting on GNU/Linux since the 4.3 update. Someone suggested this might because of an outdated version of ADB, although it worked prior to the update. What do you think? Shows the same on GNU/Linux and Windoze.

So, the original post has the newer SU?

Thank you so much for your donation! I will be updating adb and fastboot on the next 24 hours. When you launch unltlauncher it will automatically download the last version.

I will need some days more because I'm in a trip in the US. For now, try downloading the Android SDK latest platform tools and replacing the old fastboot and adb binaries with the ones you can download from the Android SDK tools package called Platform Tools. Here is the Android SDK Tools download link if you don't have it http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r22.0.4-linux.tgz Sorry and let me know if you could make it work.

It looks like the platform-tools adb version is not updated, it needs to be 1.0.31 version at least, otherwise the device results as "offline" - source and solution (download latest adb) HERE

BTW: once the device has been recognized by the new ADB, I still have a problem: the Recovery was restored to stock by the 4.3, and trying to install it via UNLT results in a "FAILED" message. I'll give you further and more useful details when I'll try again.

Not yet working. This is for NeXus 7, still shows as offline. I can wait to root this until you have some time. Meanwhile I'll bang away at it.

HOW TO EXECUTE (Must run it with superuser permissions. Example given for Ubuntu):

I would love to use this as I only have an old laptop running 12.04 and would like to try a new rom on my Nexus 4. When I download your link, I get a small sh file and I'm not sure how to proceed from there. You say extract tgz to wherever, how do I do that?????

Does the file you downloaded have a .tgz extension? If so use your archive manager to extract it.

You should have one file (unltlauncher100.sh) which when invoked will download what it needs. You run it from your shell, as root. I had to enable the file as an executable 1st though, but I'm not on Ubuntu, so your mileage may vary.

The instructions in the OP are pretty clear. ;)

    Works like a charm. Thanks.

    You should add that we need to install the adb drivers.

    On ubuntu: sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb
    sudo apt-get install android-tools-fastboot

    On Arch: Pacman -S android-tools-adb
    Pacman -S android-tools-fastboot

Erased. Please try again later.

    I don't know nearly enough to know how to debug this problem. I'm trying to restore my Nexus 7 to factory defaults from a custom ROM. This should be possible, right?

    Any suggestions?

    That's because Mavericks doesn't ships with md5sum binary anymore, I will update this in the next days.

    I was excited when I stumbled on this thread but I am wondering if this has been abandoned? I execute the unltlauncher100.sh. It starts to run but then I get this:

    Succesfully Updated.
    Initializing...
    bash: unlt.sh: No such file or directory
    --------

    So I checked the script and its trying to pull from this URL: http://galaxy-nexus-linux-toolkit.googlecode.com/git/stable/unlt.sh

    I try to access that from my browser and get a 404. So I went to the root of the domain (galaxy-nexus-linux-toolkit.googlecode.com) and I see the files available for download. None of them listed appear to be unlt.sh. How can I obtain this script?
