[Automated] Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit v1.6.2 (Updated 12/29/12)

Re: [Automated] Wug's Galaxy Nexus Root Toolkit v1.4 (Updated 6/5

I am new and have a question. When I am on step 8 (driver setup) and click below "reboot device", it stays in the bootloader. Step 7 does show the serial number. Please help. Thanks!

Window 7 Ultimate 64 Bit

ERROR: It is a Sprint Nexus. I posted in the wrong forum. OOPS

Nope... But you can use the toolkit to also back up your stuff.. also as a precaution, back up your storage contents onto your computer.

Then i can backup my games to? And apps, everything? If yes, they will be stored on my pc or the backup just creat a path for each app so it download all again automatically?
I say that because my internet is too slow. Thanks
 
This whole thing almost seems too good to be true! Can't wait to try it out.

My one question at this point, as the process seems pretty straightforward, is that I'm locked and stocked and I just accepted the latest OTA (IMM76K). Will this couple clicks method be compatible with that version of the VZW Gnex?

To give some perspective, I'm coming from a Droid Incredible, and anyone who rooted that knows how simple it was, and this program seems to do the trick as well.

Thanks in advance for your hard work, Wug!

Yes... The toolkit works with the latest update (IMM76K)... Just follow the instructions to the fullest and you will have no problems.
 
Re: [Automated] Wug's Galaxy Nexus Root Toolkit v1.4 (Updated 6/5

I lied when I said I had only one question.

Sorry :(

But on Step 4 (I searched the threads and I couldn't locate this specific hiccup), when I clicked LIST ADB DEVICES, I get an error window that says "Windows cannot find 'C:\\data\listdevices_adb.bat' Make sure you typed the name correctly and try again.", but when I go into C:\\data... I can see it right there with my own two eyes.

Thoughts?

EDIT: So I went to listdevices_adb.bat and opened it manually, found my serial number. Is this sufficient to complete step 4 or will the fact that Windows couldn't find it in the first place hinder the rest of the process?

EDIT 2: Looks like it hinders the whole process. Windows can't find the necessary files to reboot into bootloader either.

Hi, I'm following your tuto to root a nexus s (GT-I9023 SFR France branded mobile). Everything is ok with drivers, was able to perform all the test (list adb device ok, reboot bootloader ok, list fastboot device ok and reboot device ok), but when it's time to backup data/media I have a message saying "can't communicate with device" ! It's strange all the tests shows that communication with the device works the way it should... Plus the backup folder is created under "nexuxbackup/data[...]" but it's empty.
Did I miss something ? Just plugged the usb cable, and connected the mobile in usb mode, that all ?


Thanks for your help and great tuto/tool, was searching for days for a simple way to root my phone (well not exactly mine, customer service lended me a nexus when I gave them my xperia for a repair, hope I'll be able to unroot/relock BL when I'll return it to SFR CS :p ).

Thanks in advance.

It's really crazy how easy this is. I just used this for my wife's Nexus (I had used a Mac for mine) and this was awesome. Thanks so much!

BTW: for anyone having issues, make sure that you let the computer take a few moments to 're-recognize the device' each time it reboots. A couple of times, I thought maybe something was wrong, but I gave it a couple of moments and all went well. Also, since I used a Galaxy Tab 10.1 and already had some drivers, I tried to take shortcuts, but it wasn't going well, so I just uninstalled everything Samsung (as he said to do) and then reinstalled all drivers and it was very smooth.

Humm... no luck, my bootloader is unlock but can't root the phone. I'm stuck to the google black screen with a unlocked lock, with a message saying "waiting to device to reboot" on the pc, after waiting for more than 15mn each time I gave up... removing battery and sartting the mobile again...

What version of Android ICS are you on? 4.0.2 or 4.0.4? I would try again or send a PM to Wug himself.
 
Re: [Automated] Wug's Galaxy Nexus Root Toolkit v1.4 (Updated 6/5

I'm on 4.0.4.
Tried with my netbook : same result.

edit : when I'm on step 8 of driver config mobile doesn't reboot when on fastboot mode... Had to do it manually.

Hmm. It might be wise to contact Wug.

For now, I suggest using the GNex toolkit. It can be found in a post on the general section here by a user named Murphy.

No problem. There might be some kinks with this one because you're like the 3rd or 4th person having difficulty.

Hmmmm..and you double checked that you have IMM76D, correct?

Quite puzzling indeed. Something's going awry and I don't quite know what it is.

Yes, I hundred check !



On Wug's help page () he says "This can happen if you have the wrong model type selected and you use a script which boots a modified boot.img; if a wrong boot.img is utilized you will get stuck at the Goolge boot screen."

I noticed that some Nexus S GT-I9023 owner says that their baseband is "I9020"
 
Re: [Automated] Wug's Galaxy Nexus Root Toolkit v1.4 (Updated 6/5

Hi All... can you help me out please if you can?

When i try to revert back to stock from a custom rom (AOKP) it doesn't do anything. I have all drivers installed properly, and i see the serial numbers in both adb and fastboot. it downloads the factory image noproblem, and the auto checks all workout. When it reboots my phone, to flash the package, it says "no image found" and just leaves my phone in fastboot. then I have to manually repboot it, but it is still aokp. Any ideas?
 
Re: [Automated] Wug's Galaxy Nexus Root Toolkit v1.4 (Updated 6/5

I rooted my Canadian GN last night at wnt well. I appreciate all your efforts in building the program. Yes....you're right there is a but. I have 2 apps that now aren't working correctly. "Whatsapp" will not allow me to download pics sent to me. The "download" button signals I have pressed it but no response after that. "The Chive" will no longer display pics at all anymore, as well as "zedge". I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but to no avail. Currently running v4.0.1. Any thoughts?
