Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit v1.6.3 [Updated 02/24/13]

[sgthwjack]

Ok. Sorry for the delayed response guys, I have been busy coding; here is the manual solution to your problem:

Use the advanced utilities boot (temporary) button, and select the modified boot.img for your device, they reside in the toolkits /data directory. If you don't know which one to chose check your settings.ini file with a text editor, and look for the modified boot entry. The settings.ini file is in /data/stored

Once you boot off this modified boot.img, then you can open the Launch CMD Prompt button, and enter in the following cmds:

adb root
adb remount
adb shell mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /system
adb shell
su
rm /system/app/Superuser.apk
rm /system/bin/su
rm /system/xbin/su
exit
exit
adb reboot
exit

In the next release I will have it automatically delete any previous superuser versions.

Pardon me if I get the lingo wrong (just an old trooper,) but "You da Man!" Thanks!

:-) Thanks. I just quickly edited your quote to match my updated post. I added one extra line of code in case the user has a binary in their xbin as well.

Are there Nexus 7 drivers that have to be installed first? I don't see any reference for them in the Toolkit.

Thanks

Make sure you are in PTP mode under settings>storage>menu>usb settings

in the driver section of the kit you can follow the steps to manually configure them

+1, you can also look at the start of this video for a reference.

First of all "thanks for all your hard work"

I am having an issue with flashing a factory image to my vzw galaxy nexus. I have been running jelly belly 3.x and jb bootloader without issues. Yesterday I decided to start fresh and ran into an error just after the radios. Something about "missing system file" . I have tried all new files and drivers. The return to stock script always fails just after flashing the radios. No harm done, the phone remains unchanged other than the ICS bootloader replaces the jb version.

My only concern is not being able to return to stock in case of warranty issues.

Hey guys!

Wug, love the toolkit, bailed me out when I was getting boot loops on my Nexus 7. Props man, big props.

I've been having an issue lately with my GNEX (Verizon, Jelly Belly Rom, Popcorn kernel) where my computer won't recognize it. I've deleted the Samsung drivers, deleted all samsung and google items in adb devices and reinstalled many times but my computer never configures right. Lately, its been showing up under "other devices" as "INTF2" rather than what it used to show up as (can't remember what that was). I right click it and tell it update driver and use the SAMSUNG Android ADB Interface driver and it looks like it configured, but when I click List all ADB Devices it says No ADB Devices Found. I tried uninstalling the drivers and deleting all the references in USBDeview and rebooting and still couldn't get it to work.

Currently, my GNEX shows up as "CDS7" and is listed as a modem. Very odd. Any ideas?

Nevermind, figured it out with a bit more searching. It was USB fast charge. I switched that off and my computer recognized my phone.

Thank you very much! Worked like a charm!

My Nexus 7 is JB 4.1.1 Build JRO03D but the Toolkit v1.5.2 only has Build JRO03C. Can I use that?

Thanks
