Re: [Automated] Wug's Galaxy Nexus Root Toolkit v1.3 (Updated 1/2

Wug's Galaxy Nexus Root Toolkit v1.3 is awesome. I ended up having to manually install a few drivers but other than that I had my unlocked and rooted quickly. Just installed 4.0.4. Now I'm going to install Redemtion Rom.
Think I may have to get a PayPal account just to send money.

• Download the latest 4.02 android release for your specific model (CDMA/LTE vs GSM/HSPA+)
• Hashcheck the resulting download once it's finished to verify the files integrity. If it passes:
• Extract the .tgz factory image package in the proper manner to a specific sub directory in your GnexToolkit folder
• Flash the stock images to your device in a highly controlled and ordered fashion.
• Allow you to bypass the download and extract phase in the future if you have already done it before
• Allow you to point the program to ANY android factory image package, and let the program take care of the rest
• This process also includes a user input box governed hashcheck verification step to ensure the files integrity.
• Has an option to start the flashstock process from bootloader mode incase the user is bricked and can't boot ups charged first!
• Flashing stock will also inexorably unroot your device.

FYI - flashing stock and unrooting using your toolkit wiped my phone and there was no warning to do a backup first so that I wouldn't lose all of my pictures.:'(

Is there any way to recover them? If not, please put a warning to people that this will happen so they will know. I could have just done a factory reset and at least then I would have been warned that my phone was going to be wiped and would have known I had to back up my pictures.

You should always backup when using stuff like this. It's one of the tenants of flashing. Please consult my Don't Panic guide for other things to be aware of.

Is there anyway to recover them through Google plus or Picasa?

I hear you, but there should still be a warning so that people will know this will happen.

If I had to set this up, then I didn't.

Also Wug - can you tell us what your toolkit does when it flashes stock and unroots that wipes the phone?

My phone was unlocked before I used your toolkit and remains unlocked. Flashing stock unrooted it but why was my phone wiped? Was a factory reset performed?

I've messed with this for almost two hours and I still can't get past configuring the drivers. I'm running XP, if that makes a difference. I see the device in my device manager, as well as 7 unknown devices under it. But it still won't see the device. What am I doing wrong?

I am running XP and have the same problem. Go to Cyber Warrior's thread on rooting in this forum and download the drivers from his links. Install them and see what happens then.

Your phone was wiped because it downloaded the complete factory image of Android 4.0.2 from the Google servers. Think of it as reinstalling windows operating system from scratch. This comes in handy in case your phone is soft bricked.

HELP.... I can't get my phone to re-root.
I unlocked and rooted it, downloaded and installed the 4.0.4 update and now my phone won't reroot. It goes through the process but when I open up Titanium Backup it says phone not rooted.

You have to replace su.zip with the newer version for 4.0.4.

Yeah, I just wish there were a warning so I would have known that is what Wug's toolkit was doing to my phone. I was told on other threads that it wouldn't wipe my phone and with no warning saying it would, I thought it wouldn't.

Where can I get the newset su.zip. I downloaded what I though was one but same problem.

Posted by Wugfresh via galaxy nexus forum from yesterday..

Version 1.4 is finally done. I have to sleep for a little, write bit more for the help file, do a final test and then it will be released later tonight.

If any of you had issues with v1.3, chances are they will be resolved in this new release.

Thank you all for your patients.

So standby for those still having issues and I'll make sure the guide gets updated ASAP.

Sorry to sound so stupid, but being I'm only rooted and unlocked, can I simply let 4.04 install OTA?

If you except the push from Verizon it will break root... follow this guide for root users:

Re: [Automated] Wug's Galaxy Nexus Root Toolkit v1.3 (Updated 1/2

Thanks Wug for all the help.

As well as some others I am running 4.0.2. stock rom unlocked and rooted. If I accept the OTA and update to 4.04 I assume I will lose root. Will I have to wipe the phone to re-root or is there a simpler process? I like many others are getting the pop-up notification to update from Verizon and are waiting for someone to post a process here where we can do it safely and possibly without loosing data.

I have backed my phone up with Titanium Backup to (Dropbox) to keep the files off the phone, is it even an issue when updating?

Thank you so much and I hope these questions can be answered for not just me but for everyone who is getting the OTA message and wanting to know what to do next.

Thank you very much,

G
