[TOOLKIT] SKIPSOFT ANDROID TOOLKIT - NEXUS PLAYER - Drivers,Unlock,Root,Flash Stock

[ganggreen777]

My NP is on LMY48J..........it seems like I cant even get the drivers installed tried a whole lot of stuff....seems like it will go nowhere unless drivers are installed. Infact my version isnt even listed in the toolkit.....and yes i noticed the title of this thread states LMY47V will/can my version be unlocked...rooted and put image on it

Can't unlock on 5.1.1 I'm guessing it the ome lock blocking it would I have to unlock one via fastboot and c promp ome off?

Changelog for UAT 1.4.1:
+Added new upcoming devices to device selection screen
+Main files now signed with Digital Certificate to ensure files are original and safe
+Added file checker after device selection to check needed files are up to date
+Updated UniversalAdbInstaller for Windows 10 compatability
+Added driver installation option at startup for new installs
+Updated ToolKitClean.exe to allow users to update the main ToolKit.exe file to latest available version without having to download/install the whole ToolKit again (like when a new device is added or files/drivers updated)
+Improvements and minor bug fixes
+Installer now give option for Fresh Install (removes any existing device files) or Upgrade (to just update base files)

The AutoUpdate for pro users has all the above included (update via the toolkit).
You can also download the Unified Android Toolkit 1.4.1 from http://www.skipsoft.net/?p=1660. You can select Fresh Install to delete all device modules and related files (recovery, root) so when you select your device at startup it will download the latest module with all the above included. If you have several device modules downloaded (e.g. for samsung and nexus) then you can select 'upgrade' when installing the toolkit, then run ToolKitClean.exe to delete just the modules you want to update.

Android 6.0.0 images have now been released and I am working on adding support. Support will be pushed as an AutoUpdate as soon as possible.

Enjoy, Mark.

You can download the Android 6.0.0 image from https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/fugu-mra58k-factory-61ac65bc.tgz then put it in the backups\NexusPlayer folder in the Toolkit and flash it using option 9,3 in the Toolkit. You will get a message saying the md5 check cannot be verified (just because I haven't added it yet) but you can still flash fine. When asked if you want to format userdata select yes and it will put your device back to a clean state.

I will be updating the pro version very soon with Android 6 support.

Update.. Toolkit works great.

I was
Rooted
unlocked
5.0
Went to
6.0
un-rooted
still un-locked
all using the tool kit.. let it download the 6.0 all within the tool kit. I like that because makes it fool proof.

Thanks for making the toolkit Mark. I will make sure to donate to the cause.

Looking forward to being able to root Android 6.0, can't live without my Xposed modules!

 

[jestexman]

Quick question though. .now that I'm on 6.0 dev if that's what I on. .will I get ota updates?

Just the one module, the most important module ever created, Youtube Adaway!

Thanks for responding.. LOL I hear that... Problem with that is we'll be waiting on xposed modules support for 6.0. I haven't heard much with the few threads Im subb'd to?

Same, my Nexus Player is 100% stock 6.0 at the moment, lucky I mostly use it for Kodi and Netflix.
Honestly I'm more worried about the broken Voice Search than the relentless YouTube ads.

very stupid question for you. but i dont have a laptop, my PC is on the other side of the house than my TV is. Do i need the NP hooked up to a TV and the computer in order to run the toolkit? Is there anything that i would need to use the remote for and be able to see/read on the TV screen from the NP during the process?

Depends on what your are doing.. it asked me to hook a mouse up and to add something via the NP. but it does tell you on the tool kit screen. get an extension cord and if it says to unplug the usb from your computer and plug in a mouse move it back to the tv (while its still plugged to the power) .. Now it is probably going to be best to have it plugged in the tv the whole time so you can see whats going on .. but you could do it without it.

thanks for the reply. And also for mentioning the part about plugging in a mouse. I just ordered an OTG-USB, new mouse, and a Red Samurai keyboard/controller. once that stuff comes in ill dig an extension cord out of my garage.

Hey guys, does this tool works if you have updated to 6.0 via ota? I want to root my player.

If you flashed the Android 6 developer edition then you will not get OTA notifications for the full Android 6. I will be pushing an update today to include the full Android 6 build. Users with mouse support through an OTG cable can root via twrp recovery. Im waiting for a patched adbd binary for Android 6 so I can make the skiproot image for Android 6 then rooting will be just a couple of clicks away.

I will push an update today to root via custom recovery but you need mouse support for that. Skiproot root will come asap.
