Reserved for stuff. Maybe.

Looks like a nice tool, thanks very much ?

photonicgeek · Nov 22, 2014 at 5:46 AM

Pushed out another update!

Is there anything you guys want to see this utility do?

I currently have these features planned:

Custom ROM downloads for different devices (OmniROM, Paranoid Android, Cyanogenmod, etc.)
Disable forced encryption on the Nexus 9 and Nexus 6

Sounds great, downloading will try it out asap.

Koblek · Nov 22, 2014

Windows version?
Edit: Nevermind. I see there is another toolbox in the forum compiled for windows.

Hi,

This tools seems to be very interesting.
I tried it on my Nexus 9 following instruction (download, chmod) but when I open the script I have this message:

"This is not a Nexus device. This utility only supports Nexus devices.

Press [Enter] to exit the script."

I don't know if I am missing some thing.
The Nexus 9 is connected through USB. Developper options are active with USB debugging. I tried also with Nexus 9 in bootloader fastboot USB but same results.

Thank you for your help
Bye

That's odd, because even trying it now with my Nexus 9 it still works. Can you run
On a Mac:

Code:

~/Nexus-Multitool/all/tools/mac-adb shell getprop ro.product.model
~/Nexus-Multitool/all/tools/mac-adb shell getprop ro.product.name

On Linux:

Code:

~/Nexus-Multitool/all/tools/linux-i386-adb shell getprop ro.product.model
~/Nexus-Multitool/all/tools/linux-i386-adb shell getprop ro.product.name

And paste the results here?
NOTE: You need the device plugged in for it to work.

Nice tool

Will try it out

jmjm003 · Nov 24, 2014 at 7:33 PM

I'm on a Mac too and have run into the same
"This is not a Nexus device. This utility only supports Nexus devices."

I do have adb working on my Mac on my desktop. I know how to connect that way.
Out of curiosity I wanted to see this run on my Mac as there's just not much out there.

Ran the script after chmod.
In looking not all directories are created, particularly the adb-mac directory within the tools folder .
The only thing there is wget.

Code:

Connecting to device and reading device information.
/Users/xxxxx/Desktop/Nexus-Multitool-v0.10.sh: line 101: /Users/xxxxx/Nexus-Multitool/all/tools/mac-adb: No such file or directory
/Users/xxxxx/Desktop/Nexus-Multitool-v0.10.sh: line 102: /Users/xxxxx/Nexus-Multitool/all/tools/mac-adb: No such file or directory
/Users/xxxxx/Desktop/Nexus-Multitool-v0.10.sh: line 103: /Users/xxxxx/Nexus-Multitool/all/tools/mac-adb: No such file or directory
/Users/xxxxx/Desktop/Nexus-Multitool-v0.10.sh: line 104: /Users/xxxxx/Nexus-Multitool/all/tools/mac-adb: No such file or directory
/Users/xxxxx/Desktop/Nexus-Multitool-v0.10.sh: line 105: /Users/xxxxx/Nexus-Multitool/all/tools/mac-adb: No such file or directory
/Users/xxxxx/Desktop/Nexus-Multitool-v0.10.sh: line 106: /Users/xxxxx/Nexus-Multitool/all/tools/mac-adb: No such file or directory
/Users/xxxxx/Desktop/Nexus-Multitool-v0.10.sh: line 107: /Users/xxxxx/Nexus-Multitool/all/tools/mac-adb: No such file or directory
/Users/xxxxx/Desktop/Nexus-Multitool-v0.10.sh: line 108: /Users/xxxxx/Nexus-Multitool/all/tools/mac-adb: No such file or directory

So running the lines you requested above fails as the file/folder does not exist.

I'm your average Mac user and generally do not get to far into running .sh files.
I was able to chmod it and get it to run but ended with it's not a nexus device.

Oh god, I found the issue. I think. I'm uploading v0.11 now! And it was a single simple line of code!

jmjm003 · Nov 24, 2014 at 11:27 PM

v0.11 ends the same for me as 10 did.

Try deleting the entire ~/Nexus-Multitool directory.

jmjm003 · Nov 25, 2014 at 12:04 AM

It worked after doing that. I didn't test it any further right now as I'm not ready to redo everything today.

Looks promising and I appreciate the work.

Ok, Let me know how it turns out!

jmjm003 · Nov 26, 2014 at 2:22 PM

I used it to do a backup and then it transferred it to my laptop. That worked fine.
Being a Mac user, it's nice to have something to do the process for me.

That's what I set out to do!

Connecting to device and reading device information.

Yeah, i know whats wrong, and I'm trying to push an update, but XDA is having issues with accepting uploads. Run these commands:

Code:

xcode-select --install
rm -rf ~/Nexus-Multitool

Then run the script again.
