Hey, great work! Have you ever thought about making a mac or linux port? I'd really love to help you make one!
Email me: [email protected]
I'm going to try this. I didn't have much luck using the other one-click out there. But this kit can restore to stock, so I'll do that and try this rooting stuff all over again.
Does this work with the new 4.1.1 on nexus 7?

everything works great except, I'm not going through with the root. I get stuck on fastboot mode with a message at the top saying "Booting downloaded image". But no action happens. fastboot is frozen and my computer has a message "Waiting for your device to finish booting up..."
Any idea what's going on? The kit worked really well unlocking and locking and restoring stock
I tried all of this on both 4.1 and 4.1.1 and get the same stuck screen results on the root feature, regardless of flashing CWM or not, just plain frozen

Man, that was quick.. I thought I was up to date.. lol.. development is never ending. I will push an update out asap. Looks like I need an updated Superuser. Can you do me a favor and try flashing this in Temp CWM recovery;
http://downloads.noshufou.netdna-cdn.com/superuser/Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip
Edit.. I just realized that you phrased that as a question. Try it out. It should work. No harm in trying. I included the latest SuperSU in the toolkit, and had success with it. So go for it.
Cheers

He did not get back at me, but maybe you can help me. Can you try replacing the modified boot.img in the toolkits data directory with this one instead: http://wug.rootxs.com/modified_boot_nakasi_4.1_JRN84D.img
So by default, you would place it here:
Code:
C:\Wugs_NexusRootToolkit.v1.5\data\modified_boot_nakasi_4.1_JRN84D.img
And then retrying the process. If that is it, I am going to feel very silly.

Cool, will definitely confirm if your fix works, will do a guide for the blog/YT and would rather use your guide than ADB since newcomers won't cope with ADB.

It's down because the new version is up. Check the OP. Once I heard you guys having trouble here I knew something was up, so I have been at it all morning and got a fix now. Version 1.5.1 just released. Such an epic fail of a mistake, so small.. yet screwed up my whole root script. Now everything should work properly. Let me know if any of you still have problems.

Cool. Thank you! I am pretty certain everything works now. I agree, sometimes people don't find cmd line utilities friendly, although to others they become second nature. My goal has been to make something as simple as possible, and try to explain it along the way.

If it works, this should be stickied, so that noobs like myself know the best/easiest way to proceed (there are already a few guides and toolkits, but this one seems to be much simpler!).
For anyone on the fence...
THIS WORKS!
You will not find better or easier!

What I have tried:
SuperOneClick (all versions) <-- Siege Tanks Were Doomed
Gingerbreak <-- Just sits there
Z4Root <-- doesn't do anything
Rageagainstthecage <-- doesn't work
tried flashing Clockwork mod via tcard like works for the ZTE Blade, phone pretends like it is working then reboots and no change, trying to start using the power button and vol - yields nothing.
tried cooking my own rom with the kitchen make the update.zip file
Do adb reboot recovery
the phone comes back to the android system recovery <3e>
I select the option to do update.zip from sdcard
I get:
verifying update package...
installation aborted...
I need root access to remove the AT&T preloaded apps that won't uninstall won't stay killed and are hogging all my space on the phone (limited storage). I would also like to be able to upgrade to 2.3.7 from my current 2.3.4 and possibly make my own roms.
I have emailed ZTE Chinese support to see if I can get an non pork filled rom the Indian who answered their tech support line didn't have an answer and told me not to flash the ZTE roamer rom (if I could even find it) because it will brick my phone. They have been no help!
What am I doing wrong in the android recovery (I have tried both installer scripts)? Is there a way to rebuild the system.img from the system folder that was created in the kitchen because I might be able to rebuild it into the .bin file that the phone will accept from a sdcard with the built in update feature?
Ok so I figured out how to repack the system.img I then dropped it back into the folder and used zte-pack.exe to build my .bin file. I go to the tcard update and it fails verification...is there a signature that needs to be made? I didn't see an option in zte-pack
i got the same phone with at&t....was unable to root it either, but i only tried super one click...
good luck and share, if you find a way.
Not sure if there is away as of yet. Just did a fast search and it seems no root has been done for it yet
try another time z4root
I am unable to root my XT928 either...Good Luck!

There are detailed instructions for rooting, unlocking, other ROMs and more on a Russian site but I don't understand much of it. If anyone can help out it would be great!
I'm prevented from posting links here but search for zte Roamer unlock.

we know about this - i'm fluent in russian. none of their file links work - it's an old thread on 4pda forums. you can use translate.google.com or several other engines, to translate web pages in real time.
according to ZTE although they share the same model numbers they have different radios (IE GSM / CDMA) and flashing the roamer to the avail will brick it. Apparently ZTE has not gotten the concept of using distinct model numbers yet...
I was able to get root by simply entering *983*7668#. watch the screen and you will see a message that says wait a few minutes for root. I then installed superuser and Titanium Backup proceeded to remove the apps I didn't want/need, I was also able to backup everything else that I wanted to!

Tutorials/FAQ: For best perfomances, extract the .zip to C:/
Q: What do i need to do in order to install a custom ROM?
1.Unlock Bootloader from htcdev.com.
2.Flash a recovery of your choice.
3.Root using the permanent root solution flashed via recovery, found in Data/Root or select the Root menu and flash your desired thingy.
4.Flash custom ROM with no problems via recovery.
All those things are found and can be done via this tool.
Q: Hi, i just downloaded this tool, how do i use it?
First, extract the folder of the archive in the root of some partition, example above and somewhere below.
After that, run M7MultiTool vX.X.bat on windows, M7MultiToolvX.X-M.sh on MAC and M7MultiToolvX.X-L.sh on Linux.
Q: I see you talk about some M7MultiTool vX.X, is that an eXtreme edition or something?
No, vX.X will be replaced with the version from the title of the thread, this is made like this to keep things clean over future updates, so there will be no need to change things all around the thread after each update.
Q: Hi, i just bought a phone what should i do now?
Well, you firstly need to unlock your bootloader, just go to HTCdev.com and follow the instructions to unlock your bootloader.
Q: What is logcat?
Well, you can pretty much use google for that answer, but to put it short, is that thingy that tells you what is happening behind the scenes of your phone.
It is usually used for debugging and entertaiment(?).
When you report an error/bug to somebody, it will be a blessing to provide a logcat (logfile)!
Q: What is DMESG?
According to wikipedia: dmesg (display message or driver message) is a command on most Linux- and Unix-based operating systems that prints the message buffer of the kernel.
We use it for debugging purposes, providing it while reporting a kernel bug/error is a blessing.
Q: Hi, i have an unlocked bootloader, what should i do now?
Well, you should flash a custom recovery via bootloader, for that you just need to turn off your phone without fastboot activated, hold Volume down + Power button untill a white screen appears, if it appears a black one with some blue letters, you probably have a fake one
Q: What is a Custom Recovery and why do i need one?
A custom recovery is that thingy that let's you flash .zip files, use your logic and you wil get it why you need one.
Q: Do i need S-OFF on my phone?
HTC One has a nice unlocked bootloader, S-OFF is not needed as you can flash custom ROM's and kernels directly via Recovery.
Also, S-OFF is not available *YET* for HTC One.
Q:There are others guides/tutorials out there, should i check them instead of this?
If you manage to get things done using this one, no, otherwise yes, note that some could be outdated
Changelog: v1.1 - 23 May 2013 - Added Permanent Root flashing.
v1.0 - 23 May 2013 - First public release, providing recovery flashing, driver installer, htcdev.com code provider, cid getter, logging (logcat and dmesg), backup and restore, rebooting.

I know you need adb debugging on, don't know if it will work without root, you can give it a try, if it doesn't work, you can use Helium from Google Play, can backup even on non-rooted devices, but beware, i used it and for example CSR Racing couldn't be restored, so i remained with my online save, which was waaay behind.
Hope this helps.
@Lexmazter, luckily the games i have on my phone have not been started yet. only some emulators that have some real-time saves on them, they should be easily copied back and forth from the internal memory. probably just gonna copy all files from internal to pc and then copy them back after rooting then re-install the apps \ games manually.....................sudeki300

Do people still use this tool? I haven't checked it for a while and i can see it has a couple of downloads, more than i expected actually. Should i update it and add new features?

Thx Wug! I was wondering if you were going to update the toolkit to work with flo, and BAM! Here it is! Love your work, hope you keep at it. :good:
I did not chose twrp
I use 1.66 to root my nexus 7 (2012) and I did not check the (also flash custom recovery) first pass was pushing temporary twrp, and second it flash the twrp.
Why? I get a real problem with twrp with the 4.3 update, so I did not want it in my device.
Is this a bug in the toolkit? or there is a reason why the twrp is push without asking to flash?
Still the best toolkit I ever use.
You may want to change the main body font. It's almost impossible to read on the xda app with the dark theme selected

Thanks for your work. I first ran and used the "raw driver" install. Went to step 3 and ran the "check". "Success"! When installing Root & Recovery, it gets to the point where it says pushing root files to device, but when it's supposed to boot into TWRP, it boots into system "android man with red exclamation mark on his belly" mode. Tried it twice with the same result. Any ideas? I did notice that in Device Mgr "portable devices" isn't showing at all. However in Prompt mode, an "adb devices" shows device serial #. It's as if TWRP wasn't flashed correctly.

Thanks for the app! Unlocking went fine, I'm hesitant to root if it's going to leave me with TWRP even if I leave that field unchecked, anyone else have the same problem as Lachaine? Or has anyone successfully gained root and maintained stock recovery with this?

Yes don't forget to restart the toolkit before trying again. Worked for me when I did. Thanks wug!
Having an issue. Stock build# is JWR66N but is not listed, so i choose the closest one, JWR66V. So far it installed the adb drivers but fails on the Full Driver Test and Checking ADB Status. The device shows up perfectly now in DM, as a Nexus7, so the drivers have a clean install. Rebooted 2-3 times already. I can go to the adb command line and its installed but not sure why the app or PC doesn't see it setup right? I cant continue to the next steps if adb is not right...lol

How does this gain root on the A9? Not sure if you're aware of the current issues with the device and TWRP, etc.

I researched it as best I could and it seemed that the process to root is to unlock through HTC, flash your TWRP build, wipe data to disable encryption, then flash the systemless SuperSU.

That's one way to do it, yes. There's also an alternative root option that doesn't require wiping data/disabling encryption - you might want to offer that as an option as well.

Ah, okay. I must've missed that somehow. I'll see if I can implement that option instead. Are there any tradeoffs for using that method over the current one?

You'd have to read the respective threads and make decide that on your own. It's really more a matter of preference than anything else.
Do you know the rules if XDA ?

Imo posting his tool again in the A9 forum is ok. When someone wants to unlock/root/flash their phones, they go to their device specific forum to finds the appropriate guides and tools, not in the Android Software Development section where the main thread of this tool is located. If it was only posted there, most of the A9 users will never know about the existence of this tool because ppl needing that tool to perform basic adb/fastboot commands are beginners that doesn't even know about the Android Software Development section. His tool currently support more than 130 devices, most of them having their own WinDroid thread so I guess this kind of "duplicated" threads are tolerated and appreciated. :good:

In the FAQ it tells you how to root (if that's what you're trying to do).
Worked
Thus work okay for me (a9), only thing different i did was after it pushed SU and rebooted I downloaded good and updated and all works great, I haven't tried to make a backup with twrp yet but going to see if it works this weekend. Does anyone know if there is a way to add or edit the power menu to boot into recovery with the power button, makes it easier to get to it.
Once you unlock the device it voids the warranty correct?

Okay, I am sure a lot of you already know how to do this to your Pixel. Some of us do not, and I was one of them. I am the standard noob that just followed Youtube videos to unlock previous carrier locked phones. I am now enjoying this Google Pixel that is unlocked!
So if you are reading this thread, hopefully there isn't another one just like this (yes I looked).
To start off, if you are in here reading this, you have unlocked your bootloader and installed a custom recovery such as TWRP and rooted. Now you are seeing that you need to update your phone with the latest security patch. You try and you try and you can't do it. Even when you unroot it will still fail to update, or at least it did for me. Here I will explain what I went through and did to obtain the latest update. (Warning, you will loose root and custom recovery). THIS IS INTENDED FOR THE GOOGLE STORE PURCHASED PHONES
Lets get this started finally.....
Go into your developer options and enable usb debugging.
Download the newly released package file from google that has fastboot and ADB without needing android SDK.
DOWNLOAD or read about it HERE
Now you will need to download the Factory Image for you device
Find your correct device HERE
Make sure you choose the correct device and correct update, for me I downloaded the "7.1.1 (NMF26U, Jan 2017)" for my Pixel. Also a USA phone.
So now you have the adb fastboot binary package and your factory image. You will need to extract the platform-tools-latest-windows.zip and open the folder and you will see another folder, open it and now you will see a bunch of files. Now open another window and extract your factory image. Once it is done, open the folder until you see the files. Now copy these into the Platform tools folder in the directory with the fastboot.
Once this is done your folder should look like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now you will want to right click "flash-all" and click edit. It will open notepad and show the contents of the batch file. You can hit Ctrl+F and type in -w in the search and hit okay, or you can look for it without search (it is near the bottom). Once you find it, just delete the "-w" and save the file. Make sure to keep it as the batch file or this won't work.
Once this is done, in the folder that is shown above, click a blank area in the folder so no file is highlighted. Now hold shift and right click, it will come up with a dialog saying open command window here, click that.
Now we are going to reboot the phone into bootloader mode. In the command window, type everything that is underlined below
adb reboot bootloader
Now your phone should have booted into the bootloader screen or it should be asking for USB rights to use adb. If it asks for permission, hit okay and re run the code above and your phone should reboot.
Once you are in the bootloader screen you will need to do is run the flash-all.bat. It will load and go though some text on the CMD window it brings up. It will say some files are missing, which is fine. But if it fails it will tell you that it did. You can also tell by rebooting the phone or click "start" in the bootloader mode and then checking for OTA updates. It should say January 5th patch installed.
Now you can go through and install your custom recovery again and re root. Which takes no time at all and I am sure someone on here has posted before. If not, let me know and I can make a tutorial over it.
Note: I am very sorry for the bad layout and extended write up. First time ever doing this and I am hoping to help people. If there are any errors, let me know!
All of this is already well known and documented. It is device molding 101
No one with 2 licks of common sense uses YouTube videos for something like this.

Not a problem ?
I know you say this is for the GPS version, but has anyone tried it on Verizon? I'm not sure if the firmware is the same on both phones, so I don't want to soft-brick by downloading the Google version if they're different. Same boat as you were, OTA fails even after unrooting.

As long as you never re-lock your bootloader, the process is the same. There's no more separate Verizon images, just USA and international.
This is really complicated. ADB side load the OTA file, reinstall TWRP and root, done.
Good work. This is a very minute stuff of removing -w from the batch file. Very handy work.

Do you need to reflash stock kernel before removing root/TWRP before flashing?

Flashing the image overwrites anything you customized besides the regular user data and internal storage (with the -w removed). You don't have to remove or reflash anything else before following these instructions.

I couldn't side load the update.. TWRP would not load the side load feature.
I'm having an issue also: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel/help/sideload-ota-t3534926... Can we just unroot, take the OTA and then reroot?

Even when I un rooted mine. I was still failing to get the update.
If you made any changes the the system partition then it will fail and simply unrooting doesn't make the all the changes needed. So if OTA mean anything to you then I would suggest not messing with your device as there is Jo promise that after an OTA you will be able to root again tonight away

I know the past 2 were the same for google pixel and Verizon pixel but I wouldn't assume they are always going to be. I'm sure some of them will be specific at times whenever Verizon decides they wanna mess with them
FYI, I was able to sideload after updating TWRP to RC1, but now SuperSU 2.79 will install from within TWRP but when the phone restarts SuperSU is not installed... not sure if we have to wait until a new version of SuperSU is released.
