I’m running Android L on a Nexus 5 and I want to root it. Is it possible?
It is possible, you just need to reboot into custom recovery via temporary boot. Trust me, it works 🙂 And you need the latest SuperSU and boot fix, just google it 🙂
Great! Thanks I’m testing now (fingers crossed)
when NRT upgrade to android L install?
No, you can go straight to 4.4.4.
See if either Media drive (MTP) or Camera (PTP) is checked under Settings -> Storage -> USB computer connection.
Google Chrome is also flagging it as malicious.
Yeah, its a false positive. Not sure how to report it to them.
HI Wugfresh, let me say great work with NRT. I will say tho, i trashed my first N7 v2 2013 wifi tablet the first round after 4.4.3 OTA. prolly my ignorance. Now 2nd round new N7 v2. updated 4.4.3. unlocked and rooted, flawless. Now next OTA is out, not wanting to do trash another, dint accept OTA yet, Trying to “flash+unroot” keep getting same “no system, boot,recovery,img” It appears to me NRT isnt reading the the files inside the included zip file. Only seen one other post about this problem, and answer was corrupt,incomplete download. I have used NRT to d/l both the 4.4.3 and 4.4.4 file multiple (9-10) times and d/led direct from google, all say matched and complete. Never used and not opposed to using ADB method just alittle gun shy ATM. Thanks and sorry for being long winded
Can you provide a screenshot.
yes sir, sorry for both monitors
I will investigate the issue. I really don’t see why that would happen. Can you msg me in google chat.
message sent thanks
AS an update. I pulled out old back-up comp. w7 pro 32bit. long story short, i got NRT installed and set -up, d/l image direct from google, ran the “flash stock+unroot” ran flawless. so, maybe a 64bit issue? anyway hope that helps figure out what went wrong. Thanks Wugfresh great job. small thanks sent from paypal =)
I’ve kept getting same errors both times when updating to 4.4.3 and now 4.4.4(for img from google and NRT) without wiping user data. Force flash mode worked well
you IDIOT have you considered the option that NRT is corrupt.
hey i need help i unrooted and flashed the stock rom on my nexus 4 and it said it is finished and its booting up now and its booting now for 2 hours and its still booting at the color changing screen
thanks guys for everything you do I just had a quick question I want to know if there’s a way you can take T Mobile throttle iand just totally just get rid of it is there a way to do that and thanks for everything….!!!!
Is there a way to flash my nexus without turning on debugging?
After upgrading to Android 4.4.4, NRT will not re-root my unlocked Nexus 4. It boots the phone into the bootloader, but then the phone sits on “downloading”, and NRT says that it’s “Booting modified boot.img to enable privileged commands”. It never moves beyond that point.
I’ve tried running this several times and letting it run for 10 minutes or more – it never works.
Any idea what the problem is?
Thanks.
Are you going to add “L” support anytime soon ?
Full L support will be added when the official release comes out. The toolkit can flash and root it, but no full automation of other procedures yet.
Sir WugFresh, I encountered M.F. Lawreys problem, but in my case im using 32bit w7, and i already have downloaded the ktu84l factory file.. NRT cant find system.img… Help me please
complete noob to this but seeing the same: both downloads proposed on starting NRT fail having shown 1% downloaded and then a hash-check fail. Using NortonIS – no pop ups or log entries to suggest that’s the problem. If downloading manually is the answer could someone please send me a link and a clue where to put the files ! Thanks
WugFresh. first of all thank you for the toolkit. it gave me a bit of trouble(because of my dumbness), but overall, smooth. Here is a solution I found: I am using windows 7/64 and was rooting a nexus 4(4.4.4). there are two files that were not pulling automatically 1.modified_boot_occam_4.4.4_KTU84P.img and 2.openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.0-mako.img. since it is not doing so, when attempting to root with or without custom img., you hang mid process. what I did was pull them manually(as instructed by your toolkit), had nrt browse locally after download, then merged them. once that was done, I reattempted, and pow!!! im in. I don’t know if this issue was resolved already, but I hope I could help someone who needs it. Thank you again!!!!
Following is what I have been after a day of trying to fix my boot-looped nexus 7 (2012) any ideas?
Thank you

Hi mate, any plan to update NRT to fit root Android L for the N5?
My nexus 7 running 4.4.4 has been backed up and unlocked succesfully but fails during the rooting procedure because the nexus keeps stalling when it says booting downloaded img. Any ideas on how to help?
I have exactly same N7 and issue, hopeful for resolution soon 🙂
Make sure you select the correct N7, or use auto-detect. There are four options.
Hi..
Awesome work, long time supporter / donater (since you fixed my bricked N7 🙂 )
Have upgraded my WiFi+Cell Nexus 7 to 4.4.4 and can no longer root.
Upgrading didn’t “re-lock” the device of tamper with the ADB drivers, all that continues to work fine.
Toolkit seems to think that it’s pushing the Root files OK and boots into Bootloader but it just sits there.
After Toolkit times out selecting “Recovery Mode” on the N7 gives me the Android Dude with an ” ! “.
I have tried with both TWRP and CWM to no avail.
Haven’t had this issue before, previous Roots have been “as advertised” !!
Thanks.
sorry for really late response. Did you ever resolve this? Make sure you select the right Neuxs7 device in the toolkit.
I Bricked my phone and testing the stock help 😀
What does that mean? I waited a half an hour after that press any key and exited. Nexus 7 Wifi tablet.

When its finally booted back up, please remember
to re-enable USB debugging if you plan on using

NOTE: If this process was too quick and your device
is still in bootloader mode, then flashing stock may
have failed or been incomplete. Simply check the
log above: if you notice it skipped steps because it
didn’t meet certain requirements, like the bootloader
or baseband version, then consider enabling ‘Force Flash’
mode in the toolkits options menu and trying the
‘Flash Stock + Unroot’ processs again. Cheers.

=========================
The auto-updater downloads 1% and then says complete but obviously fails the hash check, so I came here to download directly. However, no matter which of the three download links I try I get a 72.3MB file instead of 72.2MB and the MD5 never matches. Any idea what’s going on?
I would be fine without upgrading seeing as I’m still using a Nexus 4 which 1.7.9 handles just fine, except that there’s apparently an update to CWMR which 1.7.9 refuses to download or recognise if I download manually – and it won’t let me do a NANDroid without first updating CWMR. Very frustrating.
Never mind, tried again this evening and it installed fine after my first download attempt. Now I can get around to backing up my phone so I can update CyanogenMod!
Please add Android L support
they will when a version comes out. They stated already that it’s not worth the effort to do it for a developers build when it might change
Can we donate Doge to you? Awesome work!
Thanks Jon! I currently only have BTC and PayPal setup. I will look into setting up doge as well. Looks simple enough. I will let you know. Cheers.
Hi wugfresh, i updated and rooted my nexus 7 2012 to android 4.4.3 and i cant see icon when USB debugging is enabled and pc absolutly no detect nexus as device… have u some idea, what problem is it? I cant connect absolutly to pc now 🙁
Im having the swame issue, its updated to 4.4.4, don’t see it on abd or the tool kit, keep getting mismatch errors.
My Windows 8.1 laptop won’t instal V1.8.4 …………………………Just another reason to hate Windows 8.1 🙁
I highly doubt the issue would be Windows 8.1. Always too easy to blame the OS.
Not sure what the issue is, can you provide more details. I personally use Windows 8.1.
Hi wugfresh can you add a torrent for next version? devhost download very slow today!!
Sure, for this new 1.8.5 version, I added a “Magnet Torrent Link” under download.
Wugfresh, please, please add fresh version of NRT to any torrent-tracker. It’s impossible to download it from that damn file-exchangers. Please.
As per your request, I added this new version to a torrent tracker. Use the “Magnet Torrent Link”
hi wugfresh, stuck at logo google/android logo.. went i take recovery mode/ others mode, its say Booting Failed. so howto fix ;(
Need help, my phone has no OS and there is no way to start my phone. I tried flashing stock but same error pops up. (Failed – remote: flash write failure). If anyone can tell me how to fix this, your help is appreciated. I have a Nexus 5 and I was running Slimkat 4.4.4. Thanks!
I dont know if you were able to get back your OS but you can try SIde Load Update from Advance Utilities….

Make sure you have selected the correct device and build in the toolkit. Make use of the “Auto-detect” if you are not sure. If an android device ever freezes on you, just force powerdown with the power button.
If i want to root Nexus 7 2012, with android 4.4.4, with locked bootloader, i need to press the unlock button first, or can i press directly root?
Read the instructions above or watch one of the youtube videos. Unlock is required to root. Unlocking wipes, so backup first.
i have a nexus 4….it is locked to virgin. i want to put my bell simcard in it. does this program allow me to do that? if so, it says cant open once i dl it….?
Too root a Nexus 7 2012, with android 4.4.4 and locked bootloader, i need to click the unlock button first, or i can click directly root?
The new toolkit might work if u click root, but do unlock first to b safe
i am having a problem on installing…..it says samsung driver not found or not installing…so try reinstalling the program…
it also says that the file is corrupted…Any suggestion?
Please use the latest version of my program… I don’t even include the samsung drivers anymore. The driver solutions are much simpler now. Just go with solution #1.
Direct linking does NOT work on AndroidFileHost. It’s advised by them not to, so CDN can determine the best mirror location to serve the file.
I just checked and its not working. That is strange. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. That said, it has worked on this page in the past. AndroidFileHost gave me a developer API key specifically for this reason – so I could deliver direct downloads. That’s how all the files are served through the toolkit.
Try BasketBuild.
Added some more mirrors. Swapped out the androidfilehost direct download link in favor of Major Geeks as the primary link.
Wugfresh. Thanks for developing your toolkit. I’ve been using it for a year – I have a nexus 7 2013.
For 2 weeks I have many problems with twrp backups not restoring and boot loop. Im not sure what is going wrong as it is usually works fine. Its not an issue with your toolkit but I hoped you could help.
I have kk 444 stock not rooted as primary ROM
I have android l not rooted as secondary
When I switch between these ROM using twrp backup/restore it gets stuck during boot at the coloured circles stage. The only fix is to flash stock and start over.
Any advice?
I am gettinng this error on trying to install 1.8.5 “windows cannot find nexusroottoolkit.exe”….solutions???
*Claps* Amazing! You still use windows XP! I had to upgrade because some games werent compatible…
For some reason, using the ‘OEM Lock’ script doesn’t seem to check if TWRP has been downloaded, and the entire script will run ‘successfully’ without actually doing anything.
Hi! I have previously successfully unlocked and rooted my Nexus4 with your toolkit. Kept stock, no custom ROM. Since then I have received Google OTA system updates, and because of that the phone is no longer rooted. But is it still unlocked, can I skip unlocking this time? Will I loose app data etc. if I root again?
Nexus 4 user here! I love this toolkit. Making flashing ROMs and stuff more easy without having to use adb whatever command ;D
Though sometimes there is this problem where I want to restore backup that I made using this toolkit and it doesn’t seem to work. I’d be glad if you fix this 🙂
Donated 😉
You deserve it.
And keep the project going!
Thank you. Please provide more details. What kind of back up. What explicitly happens. Saying “it doesn’t work” makes it impossible for me to guess what went wrong for you. Cheers.
Auto update doesn’t work when upgrading from 1.8.5 to 1.8.6. Had to manually download and install.
Same problem…appear mismatch :/
Should be fixed now. It was server related. Androidfilehost fixed it.
nexus 7 v2 stuck on Google boot up screen (stock & unlocked) been trying to flash stock from soft-bricked/bootloop option. It’s not working. I tried unlock bootloader, but it freezes after pressing power button for “yes”. any suggestions?
Hello, for the first time here .. First of all, let me to thank you for this wonderful guide and programme ! I got a bit angry with Google for storing all my photos somewhere in the cloud and started to look up the info abvout rooting my Nexus 5. I got a bit angry with the feeble ringing as well.
Today I have performed my first root with the help of your programme – everything went on smoothly, but after the rooting I had no camera app ! So, I had to flash back the stock ROM and I do hope that the cam will be back:
So, in the meantime the flash went Ok, the camera is back … What could be the problem ? An secondly,
what king of custom ROM could I flash after the eventual new rooting?
Thanks a lot for a possible input and thank you once more !
Hi everybody !
Thank you WugFresh for your Toolkit. He’s amazing 😀 (excuse my english, I’m french)
But I’ve got a problem.
Near the end of rooting processus for my Nexus 4 (KitKat 4.4.4), there’s a error message :
Autolt Error
Line 19423 (File “C:Program Files (x86)WugFresh
DevelopmentNexusRootToolkit.exe”):
Error: Variable used without being delared.
(take a look at screenshot)
Please, help me Wug !!

Are you running 1.8.6? What options did you have selected when rooting your Nexus? Flash recovery? Busybox free? When exactly does this message show up? Do you see the rooting complete message? Is your device rooted.
Yes, I’m running the 1.8.6 version.
I choose TWRP Recovery when I’m rooting my phone.
I don’t know when exactly he his showing up and the rooting complete message didn’t appear but I solved the problem by checking the “Busy Box Free” installation (I unchecked it before) and my device is now roote 🙂
Thanks
used it to unlock nexus7 and install Android L.
Worked great!
Hi! I am still stuck up with this error while installing. Can you help?
Windows cannot find ‘NexusRootToolkit.exe’. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again.
Create a new folder on c: and copy the install file to that folder and right-click the install file and “run as admininstrator”. Also real-time security/av software can temp block exe files during an installation.
Also if youre getting mismatch errors on the updates just manually add the program exe as an exception to your firewall.
clearly the issue was with my antivirus program blocking the installation. Thanks for the help mate!
Can you tell me which antivirus you use so I can report it to them.
Hi, I had the some problem using Kaspersky Internet Security 2013
Thank you for this program.
hi wugfresh…i m new here and i appreciate you for this awesome project……..
Thank you @disqus_CRQTel6V7p:disqus !
Thanks, Wug, you program is brilliant !
Thank you @zdenekfaltus:disqus !
firstly congratulations on application
already used it to root and everything went well
today after almost two months, but today the touch became unresponsive.
Restarted, and so now he caught the screen with the Google logo.
He goes into fastboot, but does not go into recovey mode … used your app in “back to stock” and then the second application all went well … but after all process is finished, it remains on the screen with the google logo.
sorry for bad english.
Are you sure the flash stock completes? How long was the process? You may need to perform a manual factory reset. Check out the instructions under ‘Reset Device in Recovery Mode’ – https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/4596836
lasted about 2 minutes … I will add a print to see you …
the tablet I can not get into recovery, because when I select “recovery mode” in the “fastboot” and press power button, the tablet restarts but returns to the screen from google.
I’ve tried with 4.4.3 and 4.4.4 and still not getting into the android.
I’m already more than seven hours in this sad joke … xD
The strangest thing was that this afternoon after more than three hours attempted, he entered the android, but remained unresponsive to touch … so I rebooted again … and so far failed to do more android back.
Does the mother board is the problem?
sorry for bad english again…
Strange. That picture looks like everything went correctly. Try opening the toolkit options menu, then go the ‘Flash Stock’ tab > and Check ‘Enable Force Flash Mode’. Then try flashing the old Jelly Bean 4.3.0 (JSS15J). Also, can you try using a different USB cable and USB port if you have one. It could be the motherboard, but I wouldn’t give up yet.
And now,Like magic,the tablet as working great….after many hours im turn in on….and after his start Android and for are working… Yep…this is realy crazy
For now…tks for the suporte!!!!
I have 4.4.4 using a nexus 7 (2014). I just finally updated and I can’t get it to root. It is saying it is unlocked, as I have rooted it from 4.4.2 to 4.4.3 and on a friends nexus but using an earlier version of the program, 4.4.3 to 4.4.4. I have tried unlocking it again in case and it basically resets the tablet but does nothing else. It does go through bootloader sequence before it reloads my old home page. I have tried to root and it goes through the motions but doesn’t add SU to my tablet and no root.
Are you certain you selected the correct device and build in the toolkit? There are four Nexus 7’s to chose from.
Been using the NRT heavily ever since I got into Nexus Devices and more recently ROMS, I’m a huge fan and I tell all my Nexus toting friends to use your software. I did however notice a bug that I can reproduce 100% of the time. Launch Advanced Utilities -> Push/Pull Files, then select the “Push Files” radio button, then click the “Push Files/Folder” button and select 2 files and then click “Open”. You will get the error that I’ve attached to this post. If you need/want more info or whatever I can be reached through G+ or Hangouts.
Edit: It didn’t allow me to upload an image, so the error is:
AutoIt Error
“Line 21075 (File “path to NexusRootToolkit.exe”):
Error: Subscript used on non-accessible variable.
Thank you. I will check it out and fix in the next release. Also thank you for actually describing what you did to produce the error. You have no idea how many people send me messages that just say: “It didn’t work. Help”. Cheers. Happy to hear you like NRT.
@disqus_48ZrUtddDc:disqus I have figured out the problem for that and made the fix, will be included in v1.8.7. Thanks again for reporting this.
Thanks for info. I have figured out the problem for that and made the fix, will be included in v1.8.7. Thanks again for reporting this.
Could somebody point me to the site with the custom ROMS , please ? I am quite new to all this.. Thanks
Check out XDA, look for your device and then check in the Development threads: http://forum.xda-developers.com/
Worked on Nexus 5, 4.4.4 KTU84Q, Thanks!
Hey Wugfresh, Thanks heaps eh buddy. You really got me out of a pickle. My Samsung Google Nexus S GT-I9023 died in a big way. The GSM chip fried itself leaving me with no phone. I took the phone to Samsung and they said it needed a new mainboard and this would set me back $200.00 Australian. The phone cost me $300.00 back in 9/2011 brand new. I desided that was too much. So here’s how I fixed the phone. We have a website in Aust’ called “GUMTREE” (www[dot]gumtree[dot]com[dot]au) where people can sell/buy things. So I put up a WANTED ad for a Nexus S GT-I9023 with a broken screen. I got a reply 8days later with a guy wanting to sell his Nexus S for $50.00 and it had a broken screen but otherwise it worked great. My phone was in great condition because it was always in a case to protect it. (Might of been why it overheated and burnt out the GSM chip) So i stripped both phones down and swapped out mainboards which was very easy to do. The phone I just brought had some weard Rom on it (Android 4.2.2 custom) and I hated it so i used your little program and wiped the phone and put the stock Google rom on it Android 4.0.4 ICS I then let the phone do a F.O.T.A. update to 4.1.3 Jellybean and this fixed all the things wrong with the phone and besides I was used to 4.1.3JB because my own phone had it on it. I fixed my phone for $50.00 and 2 hours work I’m now a happy little camper.
Thanks again
your tool is awesome will donate!
Hello. Love the program, but I have a possible bug report:
Galaxy Nexus GSM. Tried to backup a single app from the backup section on the main screen. I get the error:
“AutoIt Error
Line 18387 (file “c:program files (x86)WugFresh DevelopmentNexusRootToolkit.exe”):
Error: Subscript used on non-accessible variable.
ADB was working, and the device was connected, according to the popup message. This happens right after the message shows up that says “Populating App List”
Interesting, that hasn’t happened to me. I will see if I can figure out what caused that. Thank you for the info.
Yeah. It set Bluestacks as the default device when the nexus was connected. Once I shut down Bluestacks, it all worked fine. I intend to convert the device to F2FS soon, and am going to be using NRT to do the flashing once the file system is changed. Do you know offhand if there will be any problems with doing it this way?
Thanks for letting me what caused it. I just added a quick line of code so that if it fails populating the app list, it will just give a blank pull-down menu, rather than crashing on you with that error.
Regarding your question, as long as the files you are flashing are designed for f2fs, it should be fine. The toolkit performs the standard “fastboot flash” cmd’s, so changing the file system first shouldn’t be a problem. Cheers
It was Bluestacks android emulator. NRT wasn’t able to differentiate between the two devices, and kept trying to take information from it instead of the GNex.
@jimpenny:disqus thanks again for reporting this. Added a fix in this 1.8.7 release so this behavior wont occur if something is interfering with it like bluestacks – it just populates a blank pull down instead.
Shutup and take my money, you just fixed my tablet.
Nice, thanks man! Happy to hear it fix it.
If it were any smoother and simpler, it wouldn’t have needed me.
I bought you a beer! Enjoy!
@simkeyur:disqus Thanks man!
Your app is really good. It worked smoothly on my Nexus 7 (2013) Wi Fi with Kit Kat 4.4.4. However I got a minor bug: After rooting process, the Cast Screen option on the quick configuration menu just disappeared. The cast screen option on the Chromecast app is there but it can’t recognize my chromecast device.
The fun thing here is that I am able to cast fine through the regular enabled Chromecast apps like Netflix or Youtube, so it is not a Chormecast config issue.
Hope you can help with this.
Thanks man. That really doesn’t make much sense, as rooting doesn’t change anything. Maybe try re-flashing stock. http://www.wugfresh.com/faqs/how-to-fix-repair-restore-nexus/
Can I unroot without a PC? My mini USB is fried and I need to send it in for warranty.. But want to unroot first. Any ideas?
Are you running a custom ROM or stock? Are you running a custom recovery or stock?
Should be stock ROM and recovery. I rooted and unlocked with toolkit v1.8.6 on version 4.4.2 and then mistakenly updated the OS to 4.4.4 and never re-rooted again
I would run the toolkit again but can’t get the Nexus to be recognized by any PC.. Always allows up as unknown device
Then you are in luck. You must follow these steps in the exact order:
1. Download & Install: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.segv11.bootunlocker
2. Grant that app Superuser permissions, use it to reset the tamper flag (if applicable to your device) and also to re-lock your device.
3. Reboot your device to make SURE that the little unlock icon on the ‘Google’ screen is no longer there (it will just say ‘Google’ with a black background)
4. Now once you are certain that your are relocked, open Busybox (if you have it), and hit Uninstall
5. Now open SuperSU > Settings > Full Unroot
6. Then perform a factory reset (this will wipe everything): Settings > Backup & reset > ‘Factory data reset’
7. That’s it. Your device will be wiped, unrooted, relocked, and stock (assuming you still have stock recovery and are running the stock ROM).
Cheers.
Edit…. Wait, you aren’t rooted? If you aren’t rooted, you can’t relock, or do anything I described above. You would need a usb connection working then.
It took me awhile to get all the data backed up and I’m ready to do this now
When I download the boot unlocker it says I need to have a rooted device to use. My device is not rooted, but unlocked.
Any ideas how I can modify the directions to do this?
Thanks!
Should be stock for both. I rooted and then mistakenly updated to 4.4.4 a few days later… and have not rerooted since
Hello. Thanks for this great tool. I need to ask, the Nandroid backup feature, where does it store the back up? Thanks again.
On the device sdcard, afterwards it uses adb pull to store it on your computer wherever you specify. The default directory is: PROGRAM_FILESWugFresh Developmentnexusbackupcustom-recovery-backups*
So it stores the backup on the sdcard temporarily only, correct? I asked because I have no idea how much space it would use. I have a Nexus 5 with 3.3GB free space. Would that suffice?
I’ve installed the drivers for my nexus 5
onto my PC running on windows 7 including the drivers for adb debugging . However, the RSA fingerprint that is suppose to show up on my phone when connected in adb debugging mode does not show up when the NRT is opened. Can you please help me.
Hello, does NRT handle backup/restore of multiple user accounts?
Thanks for the great tool and the steady enhancements. I have been thinking of updating to KitKat with the new CyanogenMod installer. If I choose to go back to a stock build is it as easy ass using the Nexus Root Toolkit to install a Google image?
omg!!!
file size greatly reduced
thanks alot for that
works flawless for my nexus 4

Help please!!!!!
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU START A FULL NANDROID /W BACKUP (My Device: nexus 7 Kot49h Only Wifi 2012) WITHOUT UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER??????
Please answer me!
Will there be ANY DATA LOSS or what?
I NEVER WANT TO LOOSE ANY DATA!!!!!
Answer quickkly Please!
It won’t let you unless your bootloader is unlocked. Full nandroid are one of the benefits of being unlocked. Your only backup options before hand are android backup files, and just copy pasting anything from your sdcard on to your computer. Easy on the caps lock, its the equivalent of screaming at someone.
In Bootloader 4.23, What happens when you Press „Start” „UP-arrow” „DowN-arrow”
Thanks for the program and updates, it’s been very useful, have donated a beer or two.

Thank you!
how do i run this in ubuntu , iguess this program deal with usb connection differently ! ie no wine support
thank very much.. works fine.
Thank you very much for NRT!
It works for my Nexus 7! BUT works too for backup and restore of HTC Desire X !!!
I love you, this is unique work!
This is the best software, saved my data and my digital life!
I sent you all my BTC and real money too 🙂
Best regards and have a nice day!
Olivie
Thank you! Yes, I probably should fork the backup stuff into another app – those adb backup features should work for any kitkat device, same deal with the screen recording (all 4.4 devices).
Before rooting I need to know what would happen on a tablet with multiple user accounts (multi-user feature)… Does NRT support backing up multiple users? Do I have to make a manual backup for every user? How would this best be done? Is there an FAQ somewhere that I did not find? Does nobody else have this problem? 🙂
Thank you!
I never did the multi user thing myself, so I didn’t run into this. A quick Google search is telling me that adb backup only works on the primary user. I found a thread where someone said they tried to use my kit on the secondary users with adb backup and it just returned a 0KB file.
Looks like you would need root so you could use Titanium backup pro with multiple profiles option, or just make full nandroids. I know that doesn’t help you if you aren’t unlocked yet, but this seems to be be case.
I haven’t seen any dev/app address this issue. I guess multi-user is still relatively new. Hopefully Google will improve adb backup in the future.
Thank you for your quick reply!
Also, FAQ: http://www.wugfresh.com/faqs/
hey guys, i need help. ive had my nexus 4 formatted and all data and every single thing that can be wiped has been wiped all i have is the bootloader and when i try booting my phone it just stays on the google screen. i have no operating system on it or no back up data and when i plug my usb in to my pc it doesnt find the driver 🙁 c am i tottaly screwed or is there a way back for me?
“Flash Stock + Unroot” ‘softbrick’ mode. Follow the instructions. You will have to boot your device into bootloader mode and configure the fastboot driver, which you should be able to do – then you can get everything back up and working.
Thanks NRT! I messed up my phone so i decided to unroot it completely back so…it works! thanks once again for saving my phone and keep up the good work!
Excellent. Good to hear! 🙂
Hi,Wug !
LG Nexus 5 here, your toolkit saved my phone, thanks !!
Nice! Happy to hear it!
I’ll join the chorus, this tool is fantastic! I tried some of the others out there but none of them can do what this tool does. I’m a total novice to Android, got into this for a CarPuter project on my electric car. Then I got the added bonus after rooting to also help me with installing a custom ROM and GAPPS. Dang! I put some jingle in your pocket in appreciation to your hard work. I’m a software developer and know the hard work it takes to bring these projects to life. Even what appears to be a small change can take hours and hours of blood, sweat and tears. Again, thank you!
Thanks man! Most appreciated. Yes, this program has come a long way from when I started it. Happy to hear that you are utilizing all the features!
Great tool! thank you!!!
can’t install on win 8.1 64 bit 🙁
works for me
Please provide more details… What happens? I personally run Win 8.1 64bit. Its fully compatible. You need to explain what occurs.
error is gone! thanks for the program! 🙂
[Off Topic] May I know I had kernel that had feature like s2w, dt2w etc but how do I enable @ disable that feature?
I have used NRT since 1.7.8 or so to Flash Stock many times. When I first got my Nexus 7 2013, I could access it as an MTP Device. However, I slowly lost the ability to connect as an MTP Device and by about 1.8.3 or so, I could only connect as CAMERA in USB Debug Mode. I really didn’t pursue this problem because I had no real need to connect as an MTP device, UNTIL NOW! It is not a USB driver issue. It appears that some “device identifier” stored on the Nexus 7 has been “corrupted” which results in a “WUDFHostProblem” (Time-out) during MTP driver update/install. I have done several Flash Stocks but the problem persists. Is there some kind of “Super” Flash Stock that is guaranteed to update every conceivable “device identifier” stored anywhere so that I can again access my Nexus 7 as an MTP Device using Windows Explorer or other programs?
Flashing stock does wipe everything. You could go to ‘advanced utilities’ > launch cmd prompt > and with your device in bootloader mode, type the cmd’s:
fastboot erase system
fastboot format system
Then reflash stock. If that doesn’t work, its either a hardware issue, or related to something (configuration) with your comp.
Thanks for the Application. it saves me a lot of time. works on win 8.1 64 bit flawlessly.
I am trying to get my Nexus 7 v2 back up and running. I can’t get it past the screen that says “Google”. I can’t get my computer to allow me to use any of the ADB connections. The only one that seems to work is the Flash Stock + Unroot (Soft-Bricked/Bootloop). It brings up the cmd screen and runs some things, but they all say FAILED. It tells me to press any key to exit and nothing on my tablet has changed. I have tried everything the instructions have told me to, but nothing. It seems nothing can talk to my tablet. Anyway to force my tablet to except this stuff. My N7 goes up on the Device Manager list of windows, so it is being recognized. I can get to the bootloader screen also. Not sure what my next step is. Please help. Thanks.
Have you unlocked your device yet? Unlocking is a prerequisite for flashing stock. If you have unlocked, please post a screenshot of the failed flash. Cheers.
It says on the bootloader screen that my locked state is locked. How can I change that without my tablet turning on? I can only get to the startup screen that says “Google” and this bootloader screen.
I see now the unlock section of the Toolkit. I was hitting the OK button I think each time and it would not do anything. I now have the Unlock bootloader screen on my tablet and have clicked yes. Pressed the power button and nothing. Seems to just stay highlighted on Yes and does not change from there.
Try alternate USB cord, and/or port. Or try removing the usb cable when you see that screen before pressing the Yes (via the power button).
I am having the same problem with it getting stuck on the “unlock bootloader” screen after trying to run the unlock tool. Also tried removing USB cable when I see the screen, does not change anything. Otherwise my situation is exactly the same as the original post from ronjcar.
You don’t need your device to be on to unlock. Just stay in bootloader mode, and use the toolkits unlock button. It will ask you if you want to ‘automatically boot into bootloader’, or if your want to do it manually. Chose the option to do it manually. Cheers.
I have the same issue as @ronjcar. However when I use the Fastboot and Flash Stock & Unroot, it fails, with a “Flash Write Failure”.

i have used this toolkit for as long as i have gotten my nexus 4. never had any problems. until latest update. as soon as app says “rooting” after phone reboots, i get this error message “line 19433 (file “C:program files (x86)wugfresh developmentnexusroottoolkit.exe”):
error: variable used without being declared
Please try again. I have never received any errors when rooting. And looking at my code, I am really unsure how that error could even be present at that point. Please confirm you are running v1.8.7. Also, during the root procedure don’t press other toolkit buttons.
i never press any buttons. i let the process complete fully before doing anything else. anyways i did a manual root as i did a clean install and didn’t work. thanks for the program anyways. always was useful since day 1 i got it.
I am a bit confused. I would to try and reproduce the error if I can, but I don’t understand what you are describing. “i did a manual root as i did a clean install and didn’t work” .. I don’t know what this means.
I just experienced the exact same error. Nexus 4. Seemed to happen right at the end after the final reboot, just after it said device detected…
Anyways, it seems to have rooted fine, regardless.
Hi! I’m getting this error message all time. I did reinstall the program but still having the same problem. I’m on windows 8.1 64bit Pro.
I run win 8.1 64bit, and I have tested this program extensively on every supported windows OS (xp–>8.1, 32/64bit); so this error you are getting is not related to my program, but rather, windows specific. Have you tried basic windows clean-up, and maintenance trouble-shooting, like running ccleaner for registry errors. I have never even heard of gdipp until you posted that. But here is the official page for it. https://code.google.com/p/gdipp/ <<- did you install this? Maybe you made a bad install. Sorry man, but this program is totally not related to my program. That is the most I can help.
Yup! I had used ccleaner cuople of weeks back. BTW your program is up and running but every time when I’m trying to do someting via nrt it’s poping up but the work done eventually without error .
You may want to clean install windows if you can’t figure it out.
Sir i Used it Stock Recovery But my Device Still 5.68 Gb Nexus 4 :'( What i Do
MAN YOU´RE A LEGEND!!!
🙂 Thanks @Moris Vnucec
after updating the app to the latest version 1.8.7 whenever I click on push files and folder, after entering the location when clicked on Ok the program gives a popup saying Done! and when i click on ok the app closes.
I tried uninstalling and re installing the app again! no go.
I saw this report on XDA, I am looking into it and will roll out a fix in v1.8.8 asap.
I have a Nexus 4.4.4 and everytime I go to do the pda net drivers and click ok some downlad and others do not. I am trying not to ruin my phone. help please.
Maybe try solution #1 instead. Or proceed to the driver test. Just an FYI – if you configure your drivers incorrectly, its not going to ruin your phone.. the program simply won’t work, and you will get a message that it can’t find your device. So need to worry. Just attempt to configure your drivers, run the driver test.. and if it works, proceed – if it doesn’t try again with another solution.
Hey I have nexus 4.4.4 and every time i go to do the pda net drivers some download and others do not. i really dont want to mess my phone up please help.
Hi – when attempting to backup SD card on android 4.4.4 – the toolkit says the device needs to be UNLOCKED first. Does this mean not on lock screen or the type of unlocked that wipes everything? Also what is the best backup option to backup EVERYTHING including virtual SD – so that I can restore a complete mirror of my pre-rooted device? Thanks for the software and will of course donate post-root 🙂 p.s using Nexus 10
Hey, I really need to add a detailed response to this in the FAQ, and my apologies for the late response.
– Toolkit unlocks the bootloader, which factory resets; Nexus devices don’t have an ext-sdcard partition so factory reseting wipes EVERYTHING including virtual sd.
– The best backup solutions are available post-unlock+root such as full nandroids, and powerful root apps like Titanium Backup
– The most complete (and recommended) backup solution and procedure with a locked device is as follows:
1.) Create an androidbackup with neither shared nor system apps checked. The reason being (not to check them), is because ‘shared data’ attempts to backup things like your pictures and some sdcard data but from testing seems to do an incomplete job – resulting in a much larger backup file, but a false sense that you have everything backed up. Checking ‘system’ data is not recommended because restoring system data is known to potentially cause issues (better to re-configure system settings manually), and will definitely cause problems if you attempt to restore the system data on a different ROM or version of android. If you are currently running the same version of android that you plan on running post-unlocking, then backing up and restoring system data might actually work for you (and save you some time), but it is recommended to also make another androidbackupfile without system data, incase the one where its included doesn’t work so well for you.
2.) Manually backup your important non-app data like pictures/videos/music/documents that are on your sdcard via copy+paste with windows explorer or with cloud storage. Also backup any folders on your sdcard that appear to be auto-created by games on your device. Some game apps download a lot of extra content and don’t save that stuff in the standard app/data dir but rather store it in some sdcard dir. If you want to be super safe, you could just backup your entire sdcard and then restore stuff back selectively.
3.) Backup SMS and call logs if you care to keep that. You could also backup contacts however they more likely auto-synced with your gmail account.
4.) Unlock and root your device.
5.) Sign into your primary gmail during initial setup and let google play automatically restore your apps. Androidbackupfiles do not backup your PAID apps, they do however backup your FREE apps + app data for BOTH your free and paid apps – so you must let google auto-restore your apps first.
6.) Restore your androidbackupfile.
7.) Reconfigure your system settings manually (like email accounts, stock home launcher layout, etc)
8.) Copy+paste back any sdcard stuff you want
That’s it.
This will give you the most complete and cleanest restore possible. The main annoyance will be re-setting up your email accounts and homescreen layout (if you use the stock android home launcher); other than that, you will have everything back and be back to where you started.
Like I mentioned, once unlocked+rooted you have all the best backup options available; that is why, in the future it is recommended (in my opinion) to unlock a Nexus device right away when you get it, so you can avoid the hassle of backing up without full system access.
Hope that helps. I will clean this post response up and move it to the FAQs asap. Cheers.
Hi
Thanks for your gr8 work
I am planning to buy nexus 7 lte. does still these are having issues …
and after unlocking > root>
does the warranty is going to void….
or after relocking and using unroot option. …I would again get warranty back……
plz rply…thanks …
Unlocking may void your warranty however re-locking your device with the toolkit will make it impossible to detect that it was ever unlocked. Hope that helps.
It’s not clear if unlocking the device wipes media data (pictures, videos, songs)… Most recovery full wipes doesn’t wipe media. Anyway, if it does wipe media, how to back it up if the backup data/media needs the device to be unlocked…..?
hello, im using the modified rom cataclysm 4.4.2 for my nexus 5, i’d like to install TWRP for it using Nexus tool kit, but i got stuck in download modified_boot_img_4.4.2, it completed downloading but has a mismatch check, pls help !!! tks in advance
I successfully did a “Create Android Backup File” and after “Restore” all my SMS data is missing. Was I mistaken in assuming the Tool Tip saying “…backup file with all your user apps+data, system apps+data and shared data” would include SMS data?
There is a special SMS backup feature as well. That said, I believe sms gets stored in an sql database
here: /data/data/com.android.providers/telephony/databases/mmssms.db, which would be considered system data. You could try using the paid app Titanium Backup which can unpack ab files, and try to selectively restore the phone/messaging app data and see if that works. Please report back. Cheers.
hello i have a problem: every time i try to root or unlock,it tells me that “ADB device was not found” and i did all the driver installation/configuration guide
I am trying to recover data from my soft-bricked Nexus 4. Can I use the toolkit for this? I can’t seem to make it work because the phone is stuck in fastboot, locked.
If the bootloader is locked, there is very little you can do. Your best option is to try and wipe cache (JUST cache, NOT data & cache – aka ‘factory reset’) with the stock recovery. Without the toolkit, in bootloader mode;
– Switch the big green START to the red RECOVERY via volume keys, then press power to select; you’ll see an image of an Android robot with a red exclamation mark and the words “No command.”
– While holding down the Power button, press the Volume Up button.
– Use the volume buttons to scroll to “wipe cache partition” and press the Power button to select it.
Hopefully this will allow you to boot up. If so, backup your data, and consider unlocking your bootloader and performing a full factory flash via “Flash Stock + Unroot”. Cheers.
Edit, here I found a youtube video: http://is.gd/wipecache_n4
Thanks for this, I was able to wipe the cache using your directions. Unfortunately, though, the phone would not boot up after that. I tried a couple times and now something extra-weird is happening: the phone won’t power down. When I hold down the power button, it just goes back into the loop (with the Google circles going in and out).
Unfortunately if your bootloader is locked, and that’s happening – recovering any data is not going to be possible.
To get your device working, try doing a factory reset from stock recovery. If that doesn’t work, use the toolkit to unlock.. And then use “Flash stock + unroot” with “softbrick/bootloop” checked, and follow the instructions.
Okay, thanks, I lost the data but at least I have my phone back. Have no idea how it got into that state! Thanks for helping me get it back!
Hi, I’m having a problem, I can’t access the options in nexus root toolkit. My computer is running in win 7 64 bits. What can I do?
Did you resolve this issue? I can’t reproduce it.
No still nothing. Re-installed the software and same… Reboot pc, reboot nexus 7 and still nothing. Can it be a it be a computer/user anomaly???
You are a genius! I was running Android L on my Nexus 5 and wanted to take it back to 4.4.4 After flash, phone would not boot past Google screen. Refreshing did nothing. Your program fixed EVERYTHING with a couple of clicks. I will be donating to you.
Thank you @disqus_Epc5SdCXE4:disqus! Happy to hear it fixed everything for you. 🙂
You guys broke m nexus five
Can Nexus Root Toolkit be used to root Android One too?
You mean a Nexus One? No, Google doesn’t support that older device the same way, nor do I have one to play around with. If I got my hands on one, I would probably try and support it for nostalgia sake.
No.
First, thank you for an amazing Toolkit! While I’m fairly new to rooting, I’ve successfully jailbroken Apple products previously and this Toolkit is a welcome, well thought out, versatile one.
I’m in the process of rooting my Samsung Google Nexus S, which I purchased as an unlocked device direct from Google and run on T-Mobile. I successfully installed the drivers and proceeded through the unlock process. For all intents and purposes it appears to have been at least partially successful. I received the “Success” message, went through the ADB Bootloader/Fastboot process, reverted to stock, and it’s unlocked.
However, I’ve been using QBking77’s video, which is not exactly the same model, but appears to be as close as I could find to mine which uses the Toolkit. When I attempt to Root the phone while also Flashing a Custom Recovery, I receive the script message that the ADB Device was not found. In addition to being unlocked, I’ve unlocked Developer mode, activated USB debugging, and switched off MTP. Should I proceed through the Full Driver Installation process again? Is there something that I might have missed in the steps? Prior to the Unlock, I did do a Backup, admittedly against your direction, of my System Apps +Data, though I am pretty sure that I relocated everything off of my phone. Could this have an effect?
Any next steps or suggestions would be most helpful at this point as I’m stuck at the moment.
Thanks again.
Marc AKA: Joe knows…
Does not work on Nexus 7 (2012) I keep getting the “Fastboot device was not found” even though I am in bootloader as I do it, tried every single “solution” that is given and it will not work.
i used this and was able to root my n7 2012. go to the advanced tab and follow the instructions for deleting the drivers, that’s what i had to do.
Yea I managed to delete ALL my drivers for all my android devices then reboot then had to go through about 40 more steps to get it to work… not as simple as many people say. Basically “If your device is bricked, then the best thing to do is to not have it bricked… your welcome 😉 “
Sorry you are having difficulties. I made the driver installation as simple as humanly possible. Its not related to me software, its a windows/comp specific issue. My best recommendation would be to try an alternate usb port and/or cord and/or computer and try Solution#1 (automated) or Solution#4 (manual). I have tested and confirmed the driver installation on every single version and architecture of windows (xp to win10 tech-preview/enterprise), as well as many other users. I hope you get it resolved. (Also try disabling MTP on your device; settings > storage > menu item in upper right > mtp > uncheck).
There was nothing wrong with the software. The device I was trying to fix was just in the worst possible state, it was bricked at the boot animation, developer options were never enabled, it was bricked so obviously couldn’t enable or disable any MTP options, and the bootloader was locked and the PC wouldn’t recognize it, it would show up for a second and try to install the drivers but would always fail so the software kept saying “fastboot device not detected”. After a couple of hours using every bit of advice I could find I finally managed to unlock the bootloader and I just kept hitting retry on the softbrick +unroot option till it eventually worked.
i have 4.4.4 on my 2012 and i want to go back to 4.3, is this possible?
Yes, you can flash any available android version to your device easily with the toolkit. When you hit the flash stock + unroot button, there is a pull down menu where you can select which build you want to flash. Cheers.
This is a lifesaver. Due to some irresponsible rooting/experimenting, I’d got my phone stuck in a bootloop. I was able to flash back to stock and OEM Lock it to prevent me from ever bricking it again. WugFresh, many thanks.
It broke my nexus 5 I am so mad
how to on my nexus 4 without power button ? help me pls.
Quick question, I’m a flashing/rooting noob and I used CM installer to put CM on my Nexus 7, and now it is stuck on the CM boot animation, it’s rooted, unlocked and I am able to access the boot-loader, will this work for me? I need to use it on a different computer to normal, so it won’t have any drivers for it.
I can on/boot my nexus despite having broken power button.
Combination of, hold volume button (down) then insert charger, the nexus 4 will boot to fastboot mode.
Then using NRT just reboot the nexus 4. And now! The nexus 4 is on!
Thanks a lot to WF!
Great work!!
I was rooting Nexus 4 running on KitKat 4.4.4 and it ran smoothly and all my data is still there without using any recovery.
How is that possible? You wrote, that everything gets wiped…Root works, so it ran through perfectly 😉
Cheers,
Markus
my nexus 7 2012 gsm crashed and i could not get it to master reset I am trying to flash back to factory but I keep getting a bootloader not supported message. This update requires bootloader 4.23 mine is 4.13, I was wondering if you could give me some help to get past this problem
Enable force flash mode in the toolkit options.
Hi WugFresh,
My nexus 4 is suffering from softbricked/ boot loop problem. To make matters worse my usb debugging is NOT enabled.
I am not able to unlock bootloader and “ADB device not found” error is coming which I believe is because my usb debugging is not enabled.
I tried Flash Stock + unroot option but as I said before bootloader is locked and since usb debugging cannot be enabled (bootloop issue) I am confused. Can you guide me or point me to the steps that can help me recover my phone?
You can unlock and flash stock purely in bootloader mode. No USB debug required. The unlock script asks if you want to start in bootloader mode. Do that. Then flash stock + unroot with softbrick bootloop mode.
hey man running 4.4.4 wifi model cant find a adb thingo factory wiped changed cable used all the diffrent drivers help?
Hi Wug :), is it needed to have installed Java Runtime (JRE) to run properly your Nexus Root Toolkit?
Thanks 🙂
Hello,
My Nexus 4 is stuck on a boot loop. I am unsure if usb debugging is enabled or not. When I run the tool kit I get the message
“Tool Kit would like to download this: modified_boot_occam_4.4.4_KTU84P.img”
‘OK’ to continue, it says
“Downloading”
“Status: Complete!”
“Hashcheck: Mismatch”
“NRT File Download incomplete / hashcheck – mismatch”
‘Cancel’ to end operation
‘Try Again’ to retry autodownload
‘Continue’ to manually download
Followed by:
“You currently have no TWRP recovery for your build in the local directory
“Tool Kit would like to download this: openrecovert-twrp-2.8.0.1-mako.img”
‘OK’ to continue, it says
“Downloading”
“Status: Complete!”
“Hashcheck: Mismatch”
“NRT File Download incomplete / hashcheck – mismatch”
‘Cancel’ to end operation
‘Try Again’ to retry autodownload
‘Continue’ to manually download
I do not know what to do and am asking if you could help with instructions. Please and thank you!
Use ‘continue’..
can i install Android L on Nexus 7C 4G by NRT 1.8.8?
Hello all,
So my Nexus 7 (2013) is stuck on a boot loop where it only displays the Google screen – endlessly. I have the “Force Flash” enabled and when I attempt to run the ‘Flash Stock + Unroot’ option for a soft-bricked/Bootloop unit it just pulls up and shows:
Flash Stock + Unroot…
——————————————————————
erasing ‘boot’…
It will sit here like this for hours, not doing anything. Does this process normally take longer, and I am just being impatient? If I press the power button on my tablet in the midst of this it finally pulls up the following text…

Any help would be so greatly appreciated! Would hate to lose my Nexus…
First thing to try would be an alternate USB port and/or cable. Also try rebooting your computer. Those errors are indicative of a wonky USB connection. To answer your first question; No – erasing boot should like like 1 second. Let me know if you get everything resolved. Cheers.
I appreciate the suggestion… but it seems to still be an issue. I have restarted my computer multiple times, and tried at least two other cables. Seems that it is still an issue though as it will just sit here for ages not changing at all. Attempting to unlock the bootloader freezes, as does anything else I seem to try… Any other thoughts??
Do you have an unlocked bootloader? Some sections says that the bootloader is locked. It should be unlocked to perform the Flash Stock + Unroot I believe.
Hii
My nexus 7 2012 doesn’t rotate the screen after update to kitkat using the tool what can i do ?

Hey,
Im stuck on “Waiting for your device…” each time i try to root my Nexus 7: Asus 2012 Tablet :/
The drivers test runs perfect, i’ve already reinstalled my drivers and still having the same problem, after a few minutes stuck on “Waiting for your device..” I get “Waiting for device operation timed out.” Plus alot of troubleshooting options that I have already tryed..
Any opinions ?
Have you accepted the RSA security prompt, and checked ‘Always allow from this computer’ when you were setting up usb debugging? Looks something like this: http://i.imgur.com/UrlAtYU.png
And when you say, it gets stuck on waiting for device.. at that stage, what state is your device in? Is it on? Or is stuck in bootloader mode? Are you 100% certain you selected the correct Nexus7 device in the kit? There are four available options to choose from.
exact same issue
hey just got mine to work i believe u didnt actually unlock it while fiddling with mine the nexus popped a screen that asked if i wanted to unlock then pug said that would happen if it is unlocked it would say so at the bottom of ur bootloader screen and well as a lock symbol at the bottom of ur “Google”
loading screen when turning on the device
Hey there, Wug! Had Android L Developer review installed. Was a bit buggy and was interfering with other apps. This made reverting back to stock 4.4.4 an absolute breeze. Well done and thank you! BTW, will you have the new 5.0 Lollipop Images on here when Google officially releases them later on this week? 😀
Nice! Happy to hear it helped. Yes, I plan to support official Lollipop asap. 😀
Greetings, Just wanted to put in a HUGE thank you, your efforts with NRT have helped me for some time now learning android and playing around with multiple devices! Please keep up the great work!!!
All the best,
Dave Stanton
Hi there,
I am having a problem with unlocking the device. I run the toolkit and it sucessfully unlocks the device and shows up as unlocked at the bootloader screen. But when I need to restart in bootloader to do the flash stock + unroot, the device locks back up again. Any workaround to this?
That’s very strange behavior. You really need your bootloader to unlock to do anything. Try issuing a factory reset first: https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/4596836?hl=en Then try unlocking again.
Hey Wug, this program is extremely useful but I’m having a real hard time getting this to work with my nexus 7 2012 tablet. I’ve got Windows 8.1 64-bit to pick it up as an ADB device, but when it gets into fastboot it doesn’t recognise the device and windows pops up saying “USB device not recognised”. Device manager also says that the nexus is “Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)” and I have no clue what I’m doing wrong. I’ve gone through the driver install tutorial and tried all four of the solutions but it’s still doing the exact same. Any clue as to what’s wrong?
Instead Lollipop they will give us another new version of Android L
Preview codename lpx13d. In a few minutes
Wug,
You guys are awesome. I’d banged my head against the wall trying to unroot and relock my Nexus 5 to receive the OTA for “L” in a few weeks. Id installed Clockwork mod recovery. Following the LONG way around using command prompts, etc got me no where. XDA suggested that you not use an automated script. Then I found your script. Boy am I glad that I found you. Getting back to stock was simple. Just a few clicks…. Took a few tries to get the phone locked again. But its all stock now and ready for the OTA.
Thanks again! You will be seeing a donation for your hard work and simplifying the process so drastically!
This is tempting, but I’m just going to wait for Android L to make its way to my Nexus 7 2013 tablet.
Hi. Long story short, my N5 has no OS installed (does have TWRP).
Anyways, I downloaded the stock factory image from Google and attempted to flash it through the toolkit..
It successfully imported, but whenever I type the md5 hash in the “Hashcheck Verification” screen, it is a mismatch (BUT I am typing the correct md5 checksum!).
help… pls… Thanks!
dude, please don’t spam my site with the same question. I wasn’t able to get to these questions the other day.. It doesn’t mean I am ignoring you.
I’ve just uploaded the toolkit to the latest version but the hashcheck continues to fail…! this happens from a long time 🙁
I flashed Android5.0.09 LPX13D onto my N7 (2013) today… unlocked fine, but when I go to Root it, I get a message “SuperSU v2.13 is no capable of rooting this build. Wait for SuperSU update to try again.” I checked out the lasted SuperSU.. guess there is a v2.14.. will this one (once you add it to the root toolkit, allow rooting of Lollipop I have?
Thanks for this program btw, have never had any issues with it. works GREAT.
Ah… just read in the Change Log… that SuperSU isn’t compatible at this time… sorry to post before reading the changelog.
Hi there,
With nexus 4, I tried to FLASH STOCK+UNROOT, it says – “AutoIt Error – Line 15664, Array variable has incorrect number of subscripts or subscript dimension range exceeded.” With v1.8.9. Please help me, my phone is needs it 🙁
I’ve got the same exact problem on my nexus 5 🙁
Looking into it. Working on an update.
Thank you for a reply. Eagerly waiting for the update.
Other than that, it’s a great tool. Awesome work 🙂
v1.9.1 is up, all should be well now 🙂
Change the build type to the latest official build. Same thing happened to me. By the way, as always, love you WugFresh! Don’t know what I would do without you!

I have a AutoIt Error – Line 15664 error??
If you’re getting the error when you try to unroot and flash stock so am I. Are you out on the Nexus 5?
I figured it out,for CM11 users at least. So if you’re currently running CM11 switch the “build #” to that of a regular android build (probably to most recent version of 4.4.4) and then it should work. I’m now running the latest android L Dev preview and it’s great. Appreciate the software WugFresh!

Looking into it. Will release a new version tonight with bug fixes.

Which factory image did you download specifically. What value did you enter.
Thanks for the reply.
I downloaded the 4.4.4 (KTU84P) factory image from Google’s website.
I typed this into the box: d450411b40a6e60884c8e419bd50db2b
Thank you and please reply ASAP!
Have you tried v1.9.1?
hi WugFresh, I’ve been using your tool since 1st time rooting my Nexus5, but now after updating to v1.9.1 I got problem with factory image md5 checksum mismatch, any suggestion???
best regards,

For what file specifically? The new 5.0.0 preview builds? Does the download happen really quickly?
For what file specifically? The new 5.0.0 LPX13D preview builds? Does the download happen really quickly?
SuperSU 2.14 released
So, if the root of Android L is supported now? Thanks.
in v1.9.1 – yes.
Can you relock without unrooting (the hover info box for OEM Unlock says to “use the ‘Flash Stock + Unroot’ before running this”)? I have used NRT to successfully unlock and root my Nexus 7 (2012). Now I want to lock the bootloader while keeping root. Can it be done with NRT?
Yes, relocking the bootlader will work without flashing stock first. That said, if you have problems in the future, it will make it more of a hassle to deal with. In particular, you will have to unlock the bootloader again (which wipes) if you needed to flash stock (or fastboot boot/flash any img file for that matter). If you understand these limitations of relocking the bootloader, and still want to (I am guessing for security reasons?), then for sure – go for it, you can disregard that info.
Yes, for security reasons, and I understand the consequences. Thanks for the quick response. Awesome app!
Flashed my Nexus 7 2013 WiFi with no issues. Thanks.
And for mac? When? 🙁
Is it possible to root Android L now? Thanks.
Yes.
do you lost any data ???
Rooting doesn’t make you lose data, however you need to UNLOCK before you root. Unlocking causes a WIPE. So if you are not unlocked yet, then you must backup stuff first.
If you are running KitKat and trying to flash Lollipop – the procedure will wipe data (unless you disable that in the settings menu.. however that is not recommended when going from KitKat to Lollipop).
I have installed factory image of Android 5.0 on my Nexus 5 with NRT. Now i must come back to stock 4.4.2 but the Full Driver Test doesn’t work! T.T I try it a lot of times, but it doesn’t work yet. I unistalled old drivers, instaled new drivers, used Google drivers and also Universal Drivers or Pdna Drivers..but it doesen’t work! Help me 🙁
Have you tried alternate usb ports and/or cables (also rebooting your computer?). You actually only need your fastboot drivers configured to flash stock – so you could use flash stock + unroot (softbrick/bootloop mode) and follow the instructions from there. If your computer can see your device when its in bootloader, then you should have no problems flashing stock and returning to 4.4.2.

Cool. Set your link as primary. I have always loved MajorGeeks.
Thanks man! It’s an honor to be a primary mirror!
Updated to v1.9.2. Let me know if there is a preferred way to notify you. Or if you just use changedetection, or something. Cheers!
Sure, mgnews@majorgeeks.com but we updated it this morning this time 🙂

Hi im very much new to doing this type of thing and I kind need some help walking me through the process of unrooting my nexus 5. I had a friend root it and I have no use for it and I would like to get rid of it.I don’t have anything installed on my computer right now. Help please.
Check out one of the many videos on youtube. The toolkit walks you through everything. Backup anything you want to keep, then use “flash stock + unroot”, and then relock it – and you will be back to stock. http://www.xda-developers.com/android/factory-reset-unroot-nexus-xdatv/
I looked at Babbling Booleans video and I followed it all the way through and when I tried to flash the stock ROM it said that I did not have the proper driver packages. And I installed them and it still did not work. I had USB debbuging on and I switched the USB ports as well to see of a different one would work. I lost the original charger for my nexus 5 and I’m using a Samsung tablet cord and that could be the issue please help
sir not download nexus root toolkit plz help
? There are multiple links available on this page. Just pick one.
Will this work in Windows 7 32 bit system.

You need to UNLOCK in order to root. Rooting does not wipe data, but unlocking does.
Hey Wug, small problem. My original N7 soft bricked. Trying your “Flash Stock & unroot” to get it going again. Seems to work until near the end it hits this:

I tried manually starting the device with normal power on, restart bootloader and recovery mode but nothing goes anywhere.
I did some searching found I could unlock the bootloader via ADB, but ADB doesn’t find the bricked device, even tho your thing seems to be able to. The USB connect sound plays, but I guess I can’t put the device in the debug mode since it’s bricked. Ideas?
Thanks for the great tool man.
You don’t need to be connected via ADB (on with usb-debug enabled) to unlock. You just be connected via FASTBOOT (bootloader mode). Just use the “Unlock” button, and follow the instructions it gives you to MANUALLY boot your device into bootloader mode, then proceed from there. Its fine that your device is messed up.. you just have to get the bootloader unlocked. Once its unlocked you can use “Flash Stock + Unroot” with softbrick/bootloop mode to get your device back to normal. Cheers!
Thanks for the quick reply! Sadly, the unlock runs, the device says “Unlocking bootloader” or something similar, and then goes dark. The USB is still connected, but sitting for 30 mins – nothing happens. Manually starting in bootloader (pwr & vol down) gives USB off sound and USB on sound. Running “Flash Stock & Reboot” goes like this:

You are going to want to try factory resetting and trying to unlock again (and flash stock again) https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/4596836?hl=en The factory reset will take care of your user data, so if your device is actually fried, then at least you wont have to worry about that. Actually, looking at the above text you posted. It looks like it already erased your data partition – so your device is already wiped. I would keep trying to get that bootloader unlocked… if you can, you will be all set. Try a different computer, a different usb port… etc. You could also try to issue the comamnds (NRT advanced utilities > launch cmd prompt):
fastboot format system
fastboot format data
fastboot format cache
Thanks Wug, I’ll have a go this evening. Good to hear it’s wiped.
No joy getting past the lock, but as it seems any personal data has been wiped I’ll just do the warranty return and enjoy my 2013 N7. Thanks for the help, and thanks for the amazing tool.
im getting an error nexwug_downloader.exe cannot be found be windows while flashing stock. Please help
Check your antivirus, it probably falsely flagged that exe and quarantined it. Add an exception to your AV for that file or the install location of this program, and either restore the file from your virus-chest/quarantine folder or re install the toolkit. Also, please tell me which AV provider you use so I can report it to them. Cheers.
I have this error when I’m trying to flash stock or unroot.
It says that “Windows cannot find nexwug_downloader.exe”
Please help as soon as possible.
Avast is currently reporting all download links as having Win32:Dropper-gen [Drp]
Thank you Jumbles. I just noticed this false flag as well, as I use Avast on one of my machines. I am submitting a false flag report right now. I can assure you, this package is safe. The programming language its coded in is known the cause false flags.
I didn’t think you’d supply infected files so I disabled Avast temporarily and downloaded it. Have also submitted a report.
Cool. Thank you. Avast has been pretty quick to whitelist it in the past, hopefully this case is no different. Thank you for reporting it.
Please report the fasle positive yourself as well.. Thank you.
They emailed me back that its whitelist now. Thanks again Jumbles for reporting this to me.
Please give me a hand.
I just use your great NRT to restock my old nexus 7(2012) to 4.2.
When im fail to ota update to 4.3, i use NRT to do the oem lock again. But the OTA is still failed.
So i want use your NRT to upgrade to 4.4.2 directly.
But the weird things happen. I can’t make Windows 7 recognize my nexus in fastboot, but i just use NRT to flash a stock rom in Fastboot!
And then i try all the method i could found to find a fastboot driver but with no lucky.
Is there sth wrong in my bootloader? How can i fix it?
Here is my progress in brief:
– a nexus 7(2012) with oem unlocked.
– use NRT to flash stock “nakasi-jdq39-factory-c317339e” (fastboot driver is good)
– ota update failed in stock 4.2
– use NRT to do oem lock
– oem lock is ok, but fastboot driver is not good anymore.
I have tried your driver solution from #1 to #4.
Also tried Asus and Google Universal Driver , All of them can server adb/mtp/ptp well but failed in fastboot.
Have you tried alternate USB ports and/or cables. Have you tried rebooting your comp. What does device manager show when you are in fastboot?
I change the cable from my phone, and it worked!
It’s make non sense.
But save my life LoL.
What’s the latest Version for Wug’s Toolkit for the Galaxy Nexus? I’m running KitKat, so once I bring my phone back to stock, would it pick up ICS or KitKat? I’m on Verizon. Thanks.
The latest official google release for the Verizon Gnex is 4.2.2 (jelly bean): https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
is there a linux client?
When in recovery after pushing root files to my Nexus 4 running android lollipop preview, the perm recovery flashes however UPDATE – SuperSU – V2.14 always fails with the error (E: Unable to open zip file.). Any advice? Thanks,
Whenever I try to flash a rom. It imports the image but always hashcheck mismatch and then cancels
quick q, in the option of nexus took kit i noticed the root options installs twrp, supersu and quickboot, do i really need quickboot if i can get the same exact options in the power menu when i hold the power button?
Nope, that’s why its a user option 🙂
Hey Wug, I’m running KitKat, so once I bring my Verizon Galaxy Nexus back to STOCK, would it automatically pick up JellyBean or do I need to like flash those extra? I want to bring my phone back to stock and do a hard reset. I need to do this by today as I’m selling it today.
The toolkit lets you flash any official version of android available for your device, so when you press “Flash Stock + Unroot” there is a pull down menu to chose which version. Just chose the latest official jellybean for that gnex.
I’m running Windows 8.1 and I see no success when installing the “google drivers” for my Galaxy Nexus Verizon.
let start windows in test mode
Can i use it on nexus 4 – android 4.4.4 ?
yes. all nexus devices and builds are supported.

I have rooted my Nexus 7 using this
Hey Wug. So my father has a nexus 7 2012 edition. It was never rooted. It updated to 4.4.4 recently as he is slow to getting around to updating it. Since he updated it started freezing up and restarting all the time. So he did a factory reset. It rebooted into recovery to factory reset and i guess it was wiping and suddenly went to a screen with the android guy with a red triangle and exclamation point. He so he let it sit for a bit and it did nothing. so he rebooted. it finally loaded into android, seemed to be fine all the sudden, but it rebooted itself again and now it doesnt go past the google screen. He can get into recovery but the problem is, its not unlocked and he cant enable usb debugging because he can’t get into the OS to enable it. Where should he go from here? He lives a couple hours away so i can mess with it myself. Just looking for the simplest way to get him back up and running. Even if we can install customer recovery and a ROM. Thats fine too. Thanks in advance.
You don’t need USB debug to unlock. Just get it into bootloader mode, and run the unlock script. There is a message where you can say your are manually starting in bootloader mode.
Once unlocked, “flash stock + unroot” the latest android. You can relock afterwards if you like. Cheers.
So he gets the to screen that says unlocking now. the screen goes back. the computer is waiting for it to reboot. but it never reboots. he has left it for almost an hour. still doesnt come back. Any ideas?
Force reboot the device.. check to see if the little unlocked padlock icon exits, if it does, then its unlocked, and you are good to proceed. If not, force restart NRT if its hung – then try again with an alternate usb port and/or cable. Also try factory resetting again: https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/4596836?hl=en
You really need to get this thing unlocked, so try again if needed.
We reboot manually. No unlock icon. When i try to unlock manually with fastboot oem unlock it fails with an unknown error. Tablet goes dark. Every single time. Im convinced its a hardware issue. Emmc chip i think. Idk. I appreciate the help but i dont think we are getting this unlocked.
Sorry to say it, but based on your description I agree with your diagnosis. Definitely fits the criteria of a hardware issue. Hopefully you can get a replacement.
Thanks man. He has had it for 2 years. I dont think there is a warranty anymore. Probably cant replace the chip im guessing. Thanks for all your help. And thanks for your amazing tool. Keep up the good work buddy.

Special thanks to you man, i just install Android L Dev Pre. in nexus 5. But i get some trouble while rooting…. pls looks for this
Have a nexus 7 that is stuck on 4.1.1. It fails to update. Will rooting help me with this?
cant able to download it
hi i tried flash stock and unroot but it gave me an error something like failed to access null in the command prompt thing when it says waiting for phone to reboot. it tells me to do force flash so i do that and when that finishes my phone doesnt even reboot. it just stays on the bootloader screen. pleeaassee help
Make certain that you have selected the correct device, and then flash stock again using a different USB port and/or cable, with softbrick/bootloop mode.
always saying hashcheck mismatch
hi thanks for replying. i updated to 1.9.3 and now it says hashcheck mismatch.please tell me how to fix this im crying right now. i have the right device, build and im in softbrick mode. this is my only hope as by usb debugging is disabled. if this doesnt work, ill be dead. do you know any other softwares or programs that do the exact same thing without usb debugging? pleeaase help
Just hit “continue” after the hashcheck mismatch to manually download and import the file instead.. It gives you a link.
Why I get hashcheck mismatch for any update I try to do? I manually installed the v.1.9.3 cause with the former one the update didn’t work. Nothing change with the new version. Can you help me?
Hi,
I’m trying to root my Galaxy Nexus. It seems that everything is successful prior to rooting — drivers, and unlock. When I hit the root button, it goes through the root process and once it’s complete I have SuperSU installed. When I click on SuperSu it can’t download the binaries. Root Check says that my device isn’t properly rooted. Any advice?
Verizon Galaxy Nexus Android 4.2.2, build JDQ39
I payed close attention to the prompt on the phone, when it was pushing. After prompting “downloading SuperSU” it says “Checking for MD5 file, then no MD5 file found, followed by “skipping check for MD5 file” — could this be why?
did that and still mismatch. is there a problem with this version because this started happening when i updated. please help. is there any other way of getting my phone out of bootloop? i cant enable usb debugging so i cant use adb. im a noob at this. please help. i beg you.
I will message you later to trouble shoot the mismatches and see if it’s a new issue or just a connectivity problem. To fix your problem, check FAQ http://www.wugfresh.com/faqs/how-to-fix-repair-restore-nexus/
Unfortunately, this can’t help me with my Nexus 9, bricked from Marshmallow. It just won’t unlock the device. Without unlocking, I can’t do anything.
how do i know if i have twrp on my nexus 6, i succesfuly rooted with nrt
Hi!
I am using Nexus 7 2013 wifi and my android build number MRA58U and MRA58V still not showing in build list.Please update toolkit soon so I can root my N7.
I’m using nexus7 2013 Android 5.1.1 – Build: LMY48T and when I tried to root it, it stopped after showing teamwin recovery screen and don’t compleat and when I click on console icon I see some red messages like that:
E : unable to mount /data/media/TWRP/.twrp when trying to read settings file
Hello,
Why haven’t you added all the latest LMY48* builds?
I want to keep using the 5.1.1 version, not the crappy 6.0.0 because the crappy 6.0.0 messes up the icons in older apps. And I want to be able to use those apps. Please keep adding all 5.1.1 builds as well.
You can download those manually, and then point the installer to your download.
Yes, you can, but if you have “Any build” then you have a lot of functionality disabled. I want to be able to backup and restore data etc. I want to be able to root and I don’t know, if it uses the most relevant binaries for rooting. And, of course I want to be able to backup and restore and it doesn’t allow it for “Any build”.
That’s why I want to have all builds for Nexus 4 and 6, don’t care about 5. And also for Nexus 7 2013 Wi-Fi. I need all 5.1.1 builds for those 3 devices please. 🙂
dont cry. nrt is great!
use the latest listed build and do what ever you want. i just rooted my n5 on mra58n with the settings for mra58k
Instead of giving orders on the internet, learn some English. And don’t reply to messages you don’t even understand… Notification icons in 6.0.0 are messed up. If you want to use an older app, that’s never going to be updated, you will see white squares and circles instead of its notification icons. So, I want to use 5.1.1, not 6.0.0, thank you.
Instead of compaining on my english, use your brain for some reflection. I understood that you loathe Android m. It was just an example.
If the new build isnt listed you can chose the latest listed of YOUR lmy48 !!! Its works well
And you can choose version 4.4.4 It works well too… If we’re competing, who writes the most stupid comment here. LOL.
Woohoo!!! v2.0.6!!! Thanks @WugFresh !
So after 2.0.6 my Nexus 10 LMY48T is still not on the list. =(
Root kernel link broken for nexus 6p mda69d
Trying to flash 6.0 stock on my N5 that is currently running latest 5.1.1. Device is in fastboot mode and live log stops at ‘launching flashstock.bat’. Maybe something is wrong with the new bat file? Kudos to wugfresh to putting in all that effort btw!
Just stating the obvious: I’m using the new 2.0.6
It flashed bootloader and radio and then stopped
do you know how to solve this? I have the same problem with my N5 5.1.1
Having the same problem with my Nexus 6. Any solution?
I think it might have to do with trying “no wipe” mode, but I don’t want to lose all my data.
please, add MM custom rom for N4 in the build list. thanks
My Nexus fastboot mode says “LOCK STATE – unlocked”, but when I run NRT I keep getting “Notice – Bootloader is Locked!” and no matter what I do – try unlocking it again, locking and unlocking again, etc. I can’t get past that notice. I have Nexus 7 2013 Edition Wi-Fi and trying to go from MRA58K to MRA58U.
Exactly the same problem here. Even re-locked, then unlocked again, still the same.
I’m having the same issue on my Nexus 7 (2013) Wi-Fi. Didn’t try unlocking it again but I did reinstall the ADB drivers on the PC. Didn’t make a differnece. I’m using NRT v2.0.6
The same issue. NRT cant detect that bootloader already unlocked
Same problem here Nexus 7 2013 Wi-Fi.
Same issue here with Nexus 7 2013 LTE. I upgraded from v2.0.5 which worked yesterday to flash, but today after updating to v2.0.6 it no longer works and continues to think the device is locked. I deleted everything, reinstalled v2.0.6 and the ADB drivers but still the same problem. Also manually unlocked and locked. Guess I will go to the manual flashing….
Downgrade back to 2.0.5 just copy fid=95916177934547093 and paste in google search bar and hit enter… it’s the first link.
Trying to flash 6.0 stock on my N6 that is currently running latest 5.1.1. Device is in fastboot mode and live log stops at ‘launching flashstock.bat’. need help
I have the same problem.
me too with Nexus 5
I fix the problem I downloaded the previous vision 2.0.5 and it work
Unfortunately, 2.0.6 will not root my Nexus 6 running Android 6.0 (Build number MRA58N – Security patch level: November 1, 2015), unless I just plain don’t know how to do it.
When I try, it “sift-bricks” my phone.
Help, anyone?
Same thing happened to me. I guess it’s because this build hasn’t yet been added to NRT.
I also got soft bricked so I did a Flash Stock + Unroot with the MRA58N image I got from Google and selected No Wipe Mode. I had some trouble with this so I had to try it a few times before it worked with NRT 2.0.5. I guess 2.0.6 is bugged?
Tried rooting with 2.0.6 earlier and face a problem from the get-go. In order for the kit to proceed with the root, it needed to download Dependencies but one of the links to the mda89d.img is broken, it couldn’t download that. Waiting anxiously on the update.
My Nexus 6P now no longer boots beyond the Google lgoo. FUCK!
Oh God that was scary. I fixed it. Had to use adb to manually flash the bootloader, radio, recovery, boot, and system, but I got back to stock MDB08K on my 6P. Guys until WugFresh fixes bugs in this build of the NRT, I highly recommend using adb to manually flash/upgrade factory images as this has some bugs in it.
Can you tell me how you did this? My phone can’t be read through adb, only fastboot.
Can you help me? I have the same issue and my phone can only be recognized in fastboot, not adb.
You saved my ass dude. Hade the same problem with my nexus 6, but then I did as you said, flashed everything manually and boom it works again. I even got it rooted.
Updated and tried to restore nexus 7 to stock but it does not work. It just hangs at the google logo. Luckily , I still had the 2.0.5 setup, deinstalled 2.0.6 and installed 2.0.5 and bam. Everything works fine now. Just that I have trouble downloading openrecovery twrp image as the link is broken.
Update : Unable to root nexus 7 grouper with 2.0.5. recoveryimage link broken. Tried 2.0.6 but unable to push root files.
Same problem here…unfortunately 2.0.5 has no support for a Nexus 6P. UGGG I may have to go a day or so with my Nexus 5 until this gets fixed. My 6P is stuck with the Google logo and manually trying to flash factory images through adb is not working (says problem with sig on system file despite it coming straight from Google). Effing nightmare.
That’s a bummer , just hope that this gets sorted out soon. Can’t really do without root.
The Nexus 5 is still great though, im still holding on to my bloated battery-burnt in-faulty home button Galaxy S2. Now that’s a real nightmare.
See my post below. I fixed it and got back to MDB08K on my 6P without loosing data (can reroot easily), but until WugFresh does a bughunt on this and releases 2.0.6.1 or 2.0.7 I recommend using adb to manually upgrade as the toolkit is borked at the moment.
Seems like 2.0.6 is having issues downloading the modified boot.img or it’s not seeing it when I try to ADB Pull a file.
N7 2013 lte – is it possible to flash from kitkat (also was flashed via NRT, rooted) to lolipop or marshmallow and preserve all apps and configs ? I am too tired to install and config everething again from the sctratch … and Is any advantage N7 2013 LTE with lolipop or marshmallow against kitkat as I have now ? thank you for advice
NEXUS 5 OS 6.0 MRA58N CAN’T BE ROOT
Same nexus, same OS build number, same problem.
This was a problem with the last build, too. MRA58K needed a custom kernel.
Nexus 6 5.1.1 Fi specific builds – LVY48H missing from list, LVY48I cannot be rooted (boot loop)
If flashing stops when flashing MRA58R then run this procedure –
1. Install the Nexus Root Tool Kit Version 2.0.5.
2. The openrecovery-twrp-2.8.7.1-shamu.img download status will be incomplete.
3. The openrecovery-twrp-2.8.7.1-shamu.img import will be incomplete.
4. Manually download the openrecovery-twrp-2.8.7.1-shamu.img.
5. Open the location where the nrt is installed.
6. Paste the openrecovery-twrp-2.8.7.1-shamu.img to Nexus Root ToolkitdataRecovery_CustomTWRP.
7. Run the Nexus Root Tool Kit Version 2.0.5 -> Flash Stock + Unroot -> Recommended Settings.
8. Import the factory image.
9. Flash the factory image.
10. To decrypt, go to http:// forum. xda-developers. com/nexus-6/development/mod-disable-force-encryption-rom-kernel-t3000788
11. Download – NO_FORCE_ENCRYPT_shamu_v1. 0-signed. zip. Copy it to phone.
12. Run the Nexus Root Tool Kit Version 2.0.5. Launch Advanced Utilities. Boot Custom Recovery. Install the NO_FORCE_ENCRYPT_shamu_v1. 0-signed. zip. Factory Data Reset the phone.
You are welcome. 😀
Thanks for the tip about openrecovery file! I went back to 5.1.1 firmware until everything is fixed with Marshmallow. Some rooted apps don’t work like they should…
v2.0.6 keeps saying that the tablet bootloader is locked. the screen on the table says: “LOCK STATE – unlocked”. Where can I download v2.0.5? because I am stuck.
Same problem. I tried rooting N7 2013 LTE . I had to manually install twrp from android sdk platform tools, but I can’t get hands on good kernel -_-…
I thought I was the only one. I’ve been scrambling looking for answers
That is definitely not what I want. Sorry you are experiencing this, will fix asap.
Hi WugFresh, same issue here. Bootloader is way unlocked but script detects otherwise. Nexus 2013 WiFi. Thank you.
Hi Wugfresh – 2.0.5 worked perfectly on my nexus 7 2012 – but after update to 2.0.6 it fails on the bat file – its like it closes prematurely and if you reboot the tablet it will only go to bootloader – no OS. It does say its unlocked however so its slightly different than the people with the 2013 model. looking forward to teh fix!
just copy fid=95916177934547093 and paste in google search bar and hit enter… it’s the first link.
Can you now root N6 Moto without getting the corruption message and without having to do special things with 2.0.6?
I keep getting the corruption message myself with 2.06
Thanks for letting me know.
It’s not running with Google Nexus 5 Build MRA58N. after root the device (Bootloop)
factory image alone with Nexus Root Tool Kit Version 2.0.5 not with 2.0.6 🙁
Me as well, not sure when will they release and add the said latest updates from google on the list. 🙁
Thank fuck it’s busted the only other alternative was an embolism.
Nexus 5 Android 6.0.0 (MRA58N) not in list dude.
Same with me.. it doesn’t list as well and i am having problem on rooting my nexus cause of this updates
it will b available in next 5 days just wait for it.
My 6P is now stuck on the google splashscreen. Can anyone help?
LMY48W isnt listed as a build, is it safe to load ?
Hello,
I have a Nexus 7 2013 Wi-fi device, that has build LMY48M on it. When, I am trying to do ‘Flack Stock + Unroot’ to flash version LMY48T, it for some reason thinks that my bootloader it locked, although it’s unlocked and the device also says that on the screen that opens… Is this a bug in the NRT or something is messed up in my device? What’s the fix?
I have exactly same problem with exact same nexus model/android version. NRT detecting device (nexus 7 2013 wifi) bootloader as locked
So hopefully it’s not our devices. Looking for solution now.
Hi,
I have a Nexus 6 device, and I see that it’s not possible to flash versions LMY48T/W/X/Y. Is there a reason why? I want to be able to flash those and root, and backup, and restore, and many other things………
What with all the issues people are reporting with the new 2.0.6….it seemed like a good time to spread a little love and make a quick donation to wugfresh, to support all the effort. I recommend others do too.
I second that notion. I have been guilty of not supporting the developers as much as I should. Donation complete
And I’m happy to report that I just used 2.0.6 to (re) root my nexus 6, which would not root under 2.0.5, and mra58k. Smooth as silk. thanks, wugfresh!
Having problem where bootloader is being detected by NRT as locked even though it’s unlocked (also reported by other users). Could anyone help direct me to older versions of NRT? All i can find appears to be malware when searching google.
Specs:
Nexus 7 (2013 wifi)
Android 5.1.1 LMY48T
2.0.6 does not work with my Nexus 6P Huawei MDA89D. Bootloader unlock does not work:
>Connectivity Status: ADB Device Connected
>Rebooting your device into bootloader mode…
>adb reboot bootloader
>
>Checking Fastboot Connectivity
>fastboot devices
>CVH7N15A17001856 fastboot
>Connectivity Status: Fastboot Device Connected
> + Bootloader Status: Locked.
>fastboot flashing unlock
>
>Rebooting your device…
But after that it is still locked. More to the point, I am unable to download root kernel for this phone.
I had a similar problem. You have to go into the developer options and turn on “OEM unlocking” before it will be able to unlock the phone. Hope this helps!
Where can I download the downgrade to v. 2.0.5? Upgraded to the latest version and there are some problems.
just copy fid=95916177934547093 and paste in google search bar and hit enter… it’s the first link.
got this but the twrp is a mismatch so cant go back
Use the steps from SimulatorOne below – just download file required for twrp and place it in Nexus Root ToolkitdataRecovery_CustomTWRP and it will not check for hashtag
Me too
used the nrt 2.0.6 to update firmware, fails, I have manually unlocked the bootloader on day one when I got phone (6P) to prevent my data deleted in the future after unlock. Early today tried to update firmware using toolkit, as I see in google websites has up to MDB..M, NRT only shows me can update to MDB…K, comming from MDB…D, it started the batch flashing something and then stopped, to my luck phone still boots, Am I going to have trouble now WugFresh when you fix the toolkit and I try to update again since your script looks like partially flashed something already??

NRT 2.0.6 for NExus 7 2013 wifi version
the unroot+Stock command keeps(again n again) on unlocking my bootloader .
I have Nexus 5,i unlocked it using nrt 2.0.6 and tried downgrading to kitkat but it doesn’t does the job.
It stops on ‘running flash.bat’.
Any help is appreciated.
THANKS
why would you put kitkat on a nexus5… Just go for the latest… its like going to a car dealership and asking for a new 1970 car.. Common man.
Same here for a Nexus 10 latest 5.1.1 update. Stops and “launching flashstock.bat”…
Tried to unroot my Nexus 5 to get an OTA but it’s not working.
It stops at “launching flashstock.bat”…
Hi,
I also have some issues with the latest NRT verson..
Was going to flash the latest factory image on my Nexus 5, but as many others im stuckc at “starting flashstock.bat”.
Tried to download the previous version of NRT; and had to download a new file, but when following the link i get a 404 not found..
Someone has a working link to get the previous version of NRT to work?
Thanks!
Rooted my nexus 5 again using 2.0.6 all went buttery smooth. Thanks WugFresh. How do i now apply the recent november security patch that was just released?
Somebody correct me if I’m wrong but to accomplish that you have to “Flash+Unroot” without wipe then install the updates thru the OTA or side-load if you like.
anybody have tried these on their N5 using the NRT 2.0.6?
1. “Flast+Unroot” without wipe
2. then do an OTA of Android Marshmallow 6.0.0 (MRA58N)
any issues?
it doesn’t work with this version of the toolkit. it crashes and gets stuck at Launching flashstock.bat (for nexus 5 devices) Im trying to find version 2.0.5 but cant find it anywhere.
android filehost DOT com/?fid=95916177934547093
I had to download the November update manually, then I had to go back to NRT 2.0.5 to flash the November update with flash stock and unroot, then I had to download and update the masterlist to the latest version to get TWRP. Then I re-rooted using advanced settings with super user beta. This works until the bugs are fixed in NRT 2.0.6. Thanks WugFresh.
Where did you download the masterlist?
It’s under update – import update pack. Then follow the instructions.
Hi WugFresh
the noforce-encryption-shamu-kernel cannot be found atm. If I follow the link to load it manually, I get a 404. I also had a look for it n other places, to no avail. Is there a chance that it will be back soon?
Hey Wug, the link to the Nexus 6P Huawei MDA89D build’s root kernel is either broken or being used as a placeholder. Any idea whne this will be fixed/available? Thanks for this awesome tool btw!
Good to hear that I’m not the only one having issues (nexus 2013 wi-fi) with unlocking the boot-loader. Will try suggestions and await an update to the software. Great job wugfresh!! Great tool and keep up the good work..
The Nov update fixes the stuttering issue with video on netflix and other video playback issues
Yes, this is definitely a confirmed bug. Sorry about this – will fix asap.
Good morning WugFresh. Thank you for the NRT. But, I have some concerns with the latest update. I am constantly getting a “ADB connection error messages” I took four attempts to root my phone (Nexus 6 Lollipop) due to these constant errors messages. I did not have this problem with the previous version. Once the phone was finally rooted, the errors return while trying to install Viper4android. Your feedback was be greatly appreciated. Peace.
Is there any plans of adding Linux and/or Mac to NRT?
Got no connection with Nexus 5x – tried different usb ports and usb-debugging is turned on. Doesn’t auto-detect model and build either. Maybe it’s because i’ve got the german version?
Did you make sure to set USB connection to “Transfer Files” and not just “charging only” which Marshmallow defaults to? Shows up in notification drawer.
Yeah, did change it to mtp.
Doesn’t help – I See its file system in the Explorer though…
Tried my Nexus 9 – doesn’t work either… 🙁
Same here.
Try the driver installer, I included a new option in this release – option #5 – which installs some LG drivers. Those were the ones that helped me with my 5X.
Tried that one already – doesn’t work…
Hello Guys, I have the same problem with flashing stock and unroot… I have a Nexus5, with marshmallow, then I received the last security update and I read some post about the new superSU, I was trying to get a clean rom, them root, them the new superSU and finally lock the OEM to receive the OTA but the NRT 2.0.6 closed the CMD window runingt the “Launching flashstock.bat”. Any idea what is going on?
I already decided to download the last factory image, (MRA58N), and start over… If I can use the NRT 2.0.6 I will rollback to 2.0.5 and let you know…
I have Nexus 5, currently kitkat rooted & unlocked. NRT keeps failing to perform Flash Stock + Unroot. Tried Android 6 and 4.4.4 KTU84P which is what is currently installed. It runs the flashstock.bat – cmd prompt displays success for copying over the files (which it does INSTANTLY (far too fast considering the size) then closes cmd prompt. I have tons of free space on the phone. I don’t know what the issue is.
I have the same problem, stays at flashstock.bat
same problem here, my phone is a Nexus 5 trying to update from 5.5.1 to 6.0.0 but it stops at flashstock.bat. Does anyone know how to solve this ?
At this point I already installed the MRA58N manually…. with ADB and Flash-all command… the device is unlocked, I will try to root it and later lock it…
my nexus 7 has the bootloader unlocked and 2.0.6 keeps telling me to unlock the bootloader …. were can I find a NRT 2.0.5
I ran into the same problem. There appears to be some problems with the Nexus 7 rooting after Marshmellow. I found a d/l for NRT 2.0.5, but then I couldn’t update the recovery flash tool. I’m just going to wait for the NRT 2.0.7 that should probably fix this issue.
I have this issue +1. My Nexus 7-2013 (razor, Flo WIFI) have unlocked bootloader, but the tool is asking me UNLOCK bootloader and told me will wipe my device, I stopped flashing the new image. I just wish to update my system image.
Nexus 6P boot loops, and refuses to go past launching flashstock.bat. Up a creek, trying to remain calm.
Does this update fix the root failure after update that the Nexus 5 encountered after MRA58K? That update required a TWRP workaround using a custom kernel… will we need to do that again if updating to the latest build?
Has there been a fix for root failure after update that the Nexus 5 encountered after MRA58K? That update required a TWRP workaround using a custom kernel… will we need to do that again if updating to MRA58N?
For those who experienced bugs in 2.0.6 – I will fix in v.2.0.7
Thanks for all your work
Any ETA?? No rush
This is a good time to remind people of the incredibly valuable service that Wug is providing to everyone for free. I hope folks will join me in making a donation!
Any ETA on this? 206 is worthless as it says my tablet is locked. Can’t perform any functions on it.
Will try my very best to get it done and out by later today. Starting now and will keep grinding until its done.
thanks WugFresh, we will always love you, anyway !
Bugs in 2.0.6. Fail on Nexus 7 2013 rom MRA58V, cannot root.
Hi, i am stuck in loading screen after rooting my phone. Can help please?
One more issue, the flash stock +Unroot mode issue:
Inside have the option of no wipe mode and “force flash mode”
the “force flash mode” is grey out. cannot tick. please fix
Force flash is permanently enabled and checked. I decided not to remove it all together because then people would see old posts which said to enable it and wonder where the option went. With this new version, the flash stock is revised to always function in this more reliable mode.
Is there some way to get 2.0.5 so I can fix my Nexus 10 until you get 2.0.7 out? Right now, I can’t escape the bootloader screen.
Buddy send me PM on disque i upload the 2.0.5 on mediafire but links are not allowed i think
can you send it to me pls?
yeah give me your mail…
bertrandtech@gmail.com
Can you send me the link to NRT 2.0.5 please
email me to bertrandtech@gmail.com
Can you explain more details.
Trying to flash the latest Google release for the Nexus 10, all goes well, but flashing takes only a second, the last thing in the log is regarding the bat file, and my Nexus is never rebooted. I’m stuck in fastboot mode no matter what. Power down, select recovery… Everything leads right back to the fastboot screen. Tried a flash stock & unroot, same result. Goes impossibly fast, sticks at fastboot. NRT -can- tell I’m in fastboot, just won’t do anything.
Script fails with remote table update error. Have rolled back to 2.0.5 but now seem to be in a bootloop.
Impossible to ” flash stock +Unroot” !!!!
The kit keeps saying to unlock my bootloader, even if IT’S ALREADY UNLOCKED !!!!!
Please, fix this.
Yes – this is definitely a bug. The unlock status is apparently different for that device. Testing now and will fix asap in v2.0.7. Thank you for notice.
I get the same problem, I didn’t try unlocking, as mine was already unlocked (the open lock on the Google startup screen).
But I get a report that my N7 is locked.
Impossible to “flash stock + unroot” my Nexus 5 with NRT 2.0.6!!!! Is there any possibility to go back to NRT2.0.5?
Can you explain what happens. I don’t have this issue on my Nexus 5.
please fix the problem with the N5!
Hello WugFresh, I experienced this problem a few days ago as well. If i remember correctly, the .bat file would just stop executing after flashing the radios and the CMD window just closes. I didn’t see any errors listed right before it closed, but since it is so fast I’m not totally certain there weren’t any. To get around the issue, I just copied all of the ADB and FASTBOOD executables and DLLs to the folder where NRT saved the image file and ran the flash-all.bat script manually. Thanks for all your hard work on this tool, and let me know if I can do anything to help provide you any more info on this issue.
I think I see what might be the issue when flashing mra58k to the N5. When the WhatToFlash.bat was created, it’s not setting all of the path parameters used in flashstock.bat. It only sets:
bootloader_img
radio_img_regular
image_zip
But the Flash_image_zip flag is never referenced in the flashstock.bat, and the image_zip parameter is not used.
Hopefully this helps and thanks again!
same problem on my N5: process stops abruptuly after running flashstock.bat (Thanks forever WugFresh )
Can we expect 2.0.7 anytime soon? 2.0.6 has a LOT of bugs. I guess they changed a lot in 6.0…
he said he was testing 23.0.7 so I would say soonish. he is most likely putting in extra testing cause of the bugs in 2.0.6
I have a Nexus 5 Build Number LMY48I and before updating to to Marchmallow I wanted to do the next step update to LMY48M. But after running flahstock.bat the process stops and the device remains in bootloader modus.

Cant update OTA with rooted /system
Hi, tried to root my nexus 5 build MRA58N using NRT 2.0.6, now it’s in bootloop. Tried to flash stock/unroot using softbricked-bootloop mode (no wipe) using build MRA58N again but it doesn’t work.
What is wrong ??
I have the same problem.. hope I won’t have to wipe the phone..
WugFresh please help us!
My nexus 7 is soft bricked/ can only access fastboot, when I use “flash stock + unroot” the cmd window crash suddenly after writing radio. How can I do? thx
I had no problem to update my Nexus 5 from MRA58K to MRA58N using the NRT 2.0.6.
Only after rooting I got stuck in a bootloop. So I flashed MRA58N again and now I wait for the NRT 2.0.7 before I root again.
since i was having problems in 2.0.6 I went back to 2.0.5 but now I cant download the file openrecovery-twrp-2.8.7.0-flo.img the location shows 404 error when I check the site.
2.0.6 can`t download the file openrecovery-twrp-2.8.7.0-flo.img fix please error 404
I can’t flash stock my Nexus 5! All time exit “flashstock.bat” after writing ‘radio’!
I have a Nexus 5x, Build: MDB08L. When I attempt to Unlock Bootloader, there is no error but it doesn’t work. NRT boots my phone into bootloader (works), checks Fastboot Connectivity (works), then a box from NRT flashes on my computer screen for only a brief second, my phone reboots, and nothing has changed. My phone was not wiped or unlocked.

Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Does anyone know a quick fix for it?
same issue for my Nexus 5x (Build: MDB08L)
Quick fix for this, Settings –> Developer Options –> OEM Unlocking –> Enabled
Or just search for OEM in the settings search if it’s not located in the same place for you.
This fixed my phone’s problem instantly. Credit goes to Wug for letting me know.
Also having the flashstock.bat issue.. I am stuck in a bootloop and it is closing and cancelling the operation. Really need my phone.
EDIT: I was able to pass the issue by installing 2.0.5. I hope this is fixed in 2.0.7 so I can do what I was originally intending to do. Thank you to the developer(s) for being so responsive in the comment section. I see that you are already on top of fixing it after reading other replies
Where can i get the 2.0.5?
I already had the file from previously. I just reinstalled it. I apologize. If you still need it I could upload it to Dropbox for you tomorrow and leave a link here. Same goes for anyone else that may need it
I would appreciate the file. Thanks
Not sure if the issue I’m having is with my device, or with 2.0.6.
Nexus 6, MRA58K, unlocked, twrp, rooted. – Achieved all of this with NRT last month. Zero issues.
The latest nexus 6 ota is available as MRA58R, so naturally I’d like to update.
This is what I did:
-Flash stock + unroot (device is normal)
-MRA58R is selected to download
-Force flash is greyed out, but the box is checked.
-No wipe mode is checked
-No force encrypt is NOT checked as I never removed the encryption from my device when I originally unlocked the bootloader.
-clicked Ok
NRT downloaded the latest Image, installed it. No issues. Got back into OS, a few settings had changed (dpi, kernel settings, etc) because I was no longer rooted.
No problem, back to NRT, click “Root”, phone does it’s thing…finally get to the pop up that tells me what files to flash in TWRP, in the !readytoflash folder. I picked all three files (including SU 2.52 beta..), swiped to confirm, they install.
Reboot system.
Here’s the problem, the phone boots up, then gets and error saying that my device is corrupt, then shuts off.
I googled it, and people have had success with flashing a different kernel, so I tried flashing Hells Core. It gets me past the corrupt warning, but then bootloops (waited 20 mins).
I got back into recovery, flashed my nandroid, and I’m back to where I was an hour ago. No real big deal.
So. Any ideas? I feel like I did something wrong.
Sorry for Wall of text.
Thanks.
I had the exact same problem than you had.
Same Nexus 6, same rooted MRA58K to startup, all the same process, got the same result.
So, it’s not your device, it’s something between Nexus 6 and NRT 2.0.6
Ya. I think it might have something to do with not doing a complete wipe when we update to “R”. I didn’t select full wipe, thinking I could just flash the latest image, then re-root. But we might need to do a complete wipe first.
Can you add Custom ROM – M (Marshmallow) for Nexus 4 and 5, Galaxy Nexus, Nexus S option for selection of android build?
We love you WugFresh hope you release a better version of this toolkit supporting the nexus 6P
2.0.6 Issue. – As other are finding the latest release is failing to complete a flash and unroot routine. The script bombs with a remote table update fail error.
Root/TWRP install on Nexus 6 with MRA58R results in “Your device is corrupt.”… and cannot be trusted, then device powers off.
The same thing is happening to me. I even did a full fresh flash of MRA58R, but when I try to root it using NRT 2.0.6 I get the device corrupted message and it hangs and refuses to boot. Maybe the modified boot.img and/or kernel isn’t being flashed?
Exactly the same for me.
I can still flash stock + unroot and go back, but I didn’t find a way to root.
See my reply to the first guy that posted.
After trying several times, I found a way to force NO encryption and to get MOBILE HOTSPOT working BUT NOT ROOT. If this interest anyone let me know and I share what I did.
I’ve heard about this but could not find anything on the Web. What’s the secret?
I got a similar message on my 6p saying the device is corrupt and can’t be trusted and it appears to be in a bootloop.
openrecovery-twrp-2.8.7.1-shamu.img not found with link. Anyone else having this problem?
I tried to root my Nexus 7 2012 yesterday. It failed while trying to push files with adb :
I had a ADB operation timed out error.
WugFresh knows all the problems we just need to wait till he has time to release his 2.0.7 update. witch he already said he was testing it. I cant wait so I can finally root my Nexus 6P
I can’t wait to finally root my Nexus 6p either. With Xposed being updated to 6.0 I’m that more excited for 2.0.7
yea I loved to see xposed was 6.0 ready. Will be great
I’ve Nexus 7 flo, tried to unroot+flashstock and same process as everyone else.
NRT shows my device is locked, then it hangs on bootloader screen, cannot do anything, press power + volume no use.
Then window informed my device is corrupted, cant be recognized.
I’ll wait for it to run out of juice and try again.
Please find the bug soon and realise 2.0.7.
Thanks
you can just use 2.0.5 till 2.0.7 is outr I had to do that when my Nexus 7 Flo too
Where can we find the 2.0.5 version?
go to the same site as the 2.0.6 is on using the link above. and search for NRT_v2.0.5.sfx and it will be the only one there
I rooted my nexus 7 2013 and tried to install the update and now it says “no command” on startup screen WHAT CAN I DO TO BYPASS THIS?
I thought wugfresh said he was about to release 2.0.7 like 2 days ago?
he did says he was working on it 2 days ago. but with the issues 2.0.6 had I think a few days of testing is ok. he will have it out when he thinks its passed the testing. so I say soonish
Hi, I want to update my rooted Nexus 4. But on update with “no wipe” it switch into fastboot wrote “Radio” and exit. The NRT shows no message and my Nexus 4 is in Fastboot mode. I can easyly start it, but the update did not work.
Is there a bug?

I have the same problem with Windows 10, if you have other machine with Windows 7 try to do it again.
Hi, thanks. But i tried it on Windows 7 and 8.1 – with 2.0.6 it did not work. Today i tested the NRT 2.0.7 – now it works on windows 7 without any problem 🙂
Thanks
can’t someone post the NRT 2.0.5 ? I need it ASAP . 2.0.6 do not works well
thanks
i can’t root my nexus 6 in 6.0
the phone say that it’s corrupted
i know that i need to flask a custom kernel before rooting but there is nothing to do it in the toolkit nor any warning before rooting !!!
just wait for 2.0.7 to come out. WugFresh is testing it currently and should be out soonish. that’s what I am doing as well
There is a way to recover the phone with all your data, download the EX kernel and flash it. Problem solved.
My 6p appears to be in a bootloop.
Yes becouse incompatibilities between the new kernel and supersu. You have to turn it off and press all the buttons at the same time until the phone enter to recovery mode. The you can flash it.
Can you give me a more detailed explanation? I’ve already unlocked the bootloader and flashed a custom recovery, and when I try to flash back to stock fastboot stops working. Thanks for the response.
try to enter to bootloader mode and flash pressing all buttons at the same time, when you are ther you can wach a little robot, plug in the usb cable. Download external x kernel and copy to the folder where the fastboot program is. Enter to cmd and go to the folder, write fastboot flash boot (and the name of the external x file) and afer flashing restart the phone. Hope you can solve the problem.
It fails and tells me the remote image is not a boot image. Do you have any more suggestions? Thank you for your help.
Have you tried to use the new version of the root toolkit?, reflash your current version without erasing data. You can do that if you are in bootloader mode.
Yes I actually got the update after the failed root. How would I reflash? Sorry for the noobish questions, normally rooting is a 10 minute process for me. I am in bootloader mode.
No problem!, you have to select your android version first, do it manually. Then, press flash stok+unroot. And then select the bootloop mode. Afert that choose to download the firmware, no wipe mode, and force flash. Take into account that the software is going to download the firmware first and then flash it. Make shure that you have enough battery, if not shutdown the phone from bootloader option and charge it first.
Thanks for all your help man. I’ve tried flashing to stock this way multiple times now and I keep getting the message Error:Array Variable has incorrect number of subscripts or subscript dimension range exceeded. Really sorry for all the questions man. I’ll also try and look around XDA, thank you for all the responses you’ve given me.
Nexus 7 2013 wifi tablet running android 6.0, MRA58V. Using NRT 2.0.7, still cannot root, after initiating TWRP to flash the 3 files and rebooting system. The tablet bootloops. Any suggestions?
I have the same problem 🙁
same.
Thanks new version. Root work for latest build for nexus 7 2013 WiFi?
Yes
I’d tried, a few days ago, using NRT 2.0.6 to upgrade my Nexus 6 from 5.1.1 to 6.0 (R). I did a full wipe of the phone. In common with others, I couldn’t get root – and before I even tried to root, the (so-called stock) upgrade gave me the infamous “your device is corrupt” message when I rebooted the phone. After displaying that message, the phone booted, and ran, fine. All the apps re-installed. But I couldn’t get root. After I flashed the 3 files under TWRP, I saw the corrupt message but this time the phone would NOT boot – it just powered off. Long hold of the power button just repeated that cycle of “corrupt – power off”. I tried to reflash the stock using the “softbrick” setting but NRT couldn’t see the phone (no surprise – it kept powering off). So I had to (i) enter bootloader mode by power+volup+voldown; then (ii) use NRT to reflash the softbricked phone. Now it ran OK.
So as soon as I saw 2.0.7 on here, I installed it, and repeated the process. Selected “flash & unroot”, and re-applied the R release, this time choosing no wipe (because I didn’t want to wait for them all to re-download, then set them up, etc.). Seemed to go OK BUT, when phone booted, it still showed the corrupt warning. This surprised me because I thought that a true stock install would avoid that message. Anyway, I pressed ahead & tried to root. Same as with 2.0.6. So once again I had to (i) enter bootloader mode by power+volup+voldown; then (ii) use NRT to reflash the softbricked phone. Again I chose no wipe. Went OK. So right now, my phone is running 6(R), and seems fine EXCEPT (i) if I have to reboot, I’m told it’s corrupted and (ii) I still don’t have root.
Should I redo the stock flash using 2.0.7, this time using “wipe mode”? Would that get rid of the corrupt message (at least until I successfully rooted)?
Same here. Nexus 6. Black screen-soft brick when I tried to root on MRA58R. I used NRT to revert to 5.1.1; locked the BL, then let it OTA to 6.0. After that I unlocked and did not have the “Corrupt” warning, until I tried to root again.
Exactly the same for me.
I did the whole process 3 times, just in case, so it’s reproducible.
Nexus 6 (R)
I can flash stock+unroot, it works (but I do get the ‘corrupt’ message at startup.
If I root, after the ‘corrupt’ message, the screen goes blank and nothing else happens.
Humm… I’m still getting stuck at android spinning logo boot screen after TWRP reboot.
Same here with Nexus 5
It worked for me after the masterlists was updated to 3090!
I unlocked my 5x with no issue. When I go to root and flash custom recovery, I end up with the android with red exclamation mark (no recovery) but still able to boot up normally. Only way I can flash recovery by the advanced utilities. After I get the latest TWRP flashed, I go root with custom recovery unchecked, flash beta SU and busybox, then get stuck at the boot logo. Only way to fix it is to flash stock. Using NRT 2.0.7 stock android 6.0 MDB08L.
I’m in the same boat. It will boot TWRP temporarily fine and flash all the the files but after that it goes and flashes the stock recovery through fastboot and if i try to boot to recovery I get mr. android on his back with !. Once I restart root works but busybox will not install.
Only way I could get BusyBox to install was to flash it manually.
1)Install BusyBox app from the playstore but don’t install from the app. 2)Found a flashable zip for a October version of Stericon and flashed it in TWRP and reboot.
3)Checked it installed properly and then you can update to latest version in the BusyBox app.
Nexus 6 patch 5.1.1
I don’t see: LYZ28N
I’m on the same boat as you. Can’t even flash, keep getting an error with the TAR file
NRT 2.0.7. Trying to flash MRA58N. Only bootloader sending and writing OK. All other Sending OK, writing failed. Probably bootloop.
After changing usb cable, no errors, everything works like a charm. Don’t buy usb cables on aliexpress…
I tried the no wipe method to flash MRA85N to my nexus 5. All went good till it wanted to flash system. There was an error and now my nexus 5 can only boot the bootloader. Now what? I made a nandroid backup but I don’t have twrp anymore!!
I had the same. I changed usb cable and I flashed MRA58N to nexus 5 on NRT 2.0.7 without any problem
But after trying to root MRA58N I have bootloop
goddamn me too. I tried to do root + custom recovery and now I just have the bootloop animation
Will look into and see if I can reproduce.
Nexus 7 bootloop after rooting. (2.0.7)
did it like 100 times before, never had any problem..
is it just me or i should wait for fix ?
2012 or 2013? My Nakasi does the same.
Just use 2.07 to flash my nexus 5 to v6(58n), it seems ok for the stock rom. However, it become boot loop after use 2.07 to root it. Pls help to fix it
Same here. Also for my Nexus 5x root is not working. Tool is pretty much useless at the moment. Try it manually , look at forum for commands.
Flash to MRA58N with nrt 2.0.7 without problems. After rooting bootloop. In nrt 2.0.7 I returned to MRA58K, root and everything is ok.
Bootloop after rooting my Nexus 5 (hammerhead) MRA58N. What the fudge is with this system?! Maybe it’s the Superuser that doesn’t work with the latest stock?!
boot loop after trying to root NEXUS5 MRA58N with v.2.0.7
Same problem with me
same here
Try to root MRA58N with 2.0.6 or 2.0.5. It will be the same. NRT is not buggy, probably google secure somehow new releases
with 2.0.5 i wasn’t able to download TWRP, with 2.0.6 it worked but stucking again in bootloop.
Everything now working fine with 2.0.7 and hammerhead on MRA58N 👍
Please update the masterlists to 3090 and try again. For some reason my root kernel for that build didn’t upload when I first posted this, so it wasn’t performing the root with the require root kernel. Now all files should be available.
Was this possibly the issue in rooting Nexus 6P too?
thanks, it’s okay now
I was stuck in bootloop when trying to root Nexus 5 with MRA58N android 6.0.
I reinstalled MRA58N with nrt 2.05 but it failed to send system. I tried the MRA58K and this sends and writes the system ok.
Now How do I root!!!!??? And install twrp???
Hello,
with nrt v2.0.7 i am able to flash stock rom.
If i flash stock rom MRA58V it works fine.
But if if try coustom recovery (TWRP) and root the nexus 7 2013 LTE hangs in bootloop after flashing.
Is there also a bug in nrt v2.0.7?
Please Help!
Please update to the latest Masterlists (3090) and try again. Reflash stock first if needed.
Is there any way to root an encrypted device without having to wipe it first to remove the encryption? TWRP can never take the password I enter when trying to root. I’m using a Nexus 5X and Nexus 9. These monthly Android security updates are a pain. I don’t have time to wipe my devices every month in order to install them.
Nexus 7 2013 running MRA58V can now be rooted using NRT 2.0.7. Just update the masterlist and all is well.
Thanks Wug, you are magic.
Yes, update masterlist. Root kernel available, then root works perfectly! Thanks @WugFresh !
What about twrp??is it giving bootloop?
I cant get Busybox to install to either xbin or bin.
I’m getting same error.
You have to remember, Marshmallow doesn’t provide enough space in /System/ – You will have to remove a couple of APKs to get it to install.
This! Try System App Remover from the Play Store. I needed about 130mb
When do you get this error? You are running 2.0.7?
I got the error when i ran the Root function. But it stopped appearing after a couple restarts of NRT. I am running 2.0.7 with 3092.
Hi! Did you manage to somehow solve this? I have the same problem with BusyBox.
Could you please help?
I posted a couple of hours ago (below) about problems using 2.0.7. I was trying to flash MRA58R – worked OK, in so far as the phone ran fine, but (i) every reboot, I got a “corrupt” warning (but the boot completed OK) and (ii) I couldn’t get root (after trying, it bootlooped). Long story short, I just tried using 2.0.7 to downgrade to MRA58K (using no wipe). Worked perfectly. No “corrupt” warning. Then rooted – again, perfect. So right now my phone is rooted & running nicely on K; and I’m not sure that I really need the N or R release. Thanks for the tool, Wug!
Replying to myself. After the above, I saw Wug’s post that he had re-uploaded some of the NRT files. He did this AFTER I failed with R, but BEFORE my success with K (above). So, I thought I’d try again with R, this time using the “correct” files from Wug. Worked perfectly. I now have a rooted Nexus 6 running R.
I’m gonna update my nexus 7 2013 from 5.0.2 to 6.0 , I hope this works, last time I updated was 1 year ago…
are the bugs fixed now? I’m still waiting to root an unlocked Nexus 5 and a locked Nexus 6
BTW, MRA58N is missing in Nexus 6 list
bugs are fixed, MRA58N for Nexus 6 now added in the latest 3092 masterlists. Cheers!
I went through the flash stock with no wipe MRA58N version, went smoothly, with NRT 2.0.7 masterlists 3090.
Rooting process appears to achieve, but when I lauch BusyBox (which I had to install via PlayStore as it didn’t get flashed by TWRP), there is no root access prompt…
Rooted my Nexus 5 with no issues. Thanks WugFresh!
Nexus 5 with marshmallow? I want to root but don’t want any issues. If it fails to root will there be corruption or just won’t be rooted? Thanks!
Yup, MRA58N with no issues at all. As for a fail… sadly that lies outside my experience.
i have a nexus 6 that i want marshmallow on. i did the flash stock + unroot and i’m stuck on bootloop. what gives?!
nevermind, i just had to wait it out. what a scare.
Yes – haste makes waste. Always be patient after flash stock. But don’t fear bootloops in general, they are typically very easy to deal with, especially if you have an unlocked bootloader. If you ever truly bootloop, the first troubleshooting option is a factory reset from recovery (i.e option#2 from https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/4596836?hl=en ), and the second option is to reflash stock with “Soft Brick Mode” in NRT. One of those two will help you fix. Either way, glad it sorted itself. Cheers!
Please update to the latest Masterlists (3090)? Mine is showing I have 3092. are we missing things in 3090/91?
3092 is even newer. They get released sequentially. 3092 is now the latest – I just added a few more things.
I’m now running CM 12.1 because it’s impossible to flash any factory image at this moment without getting errors while flashing system.img — manual as well as with NRT 2.0.5. and 2.0.6. Hoped 2.0.7. would resolve this.
But: the script Flash stock + unroot in NexusRootToolkit.exe (on Windows 10) produces the next error:
AutoIt error Line 27232 of : “Array variable has incorrect number of subscripts or subscript dimension range has exceeded”
What options do I have?
I am not getting this error myself, would love to try and reproduce. Can you shoot me a message in google hangouts. Its my username @ gmail. I will be happy to try and figure out why you are getting that error.
All solved; Thanks WugFresh. For those who have flash issues: your USB cable / connection might be the cause. I didn’t believe it but it helped.
The screen freezes at “Unlock Bootloader” when I try to select Yes via the power button.
I was on 6.0 and tried to go backwards and it didn’t go well. Ive restored stock, but now I’m getting no sdcard location. It pushes recovery fine, but gets hung up on pushing the root. An ideas? Ive reverted to 3 builds including 5.0 to try to get it to root. Connection is fine, chord is stock, and usb debugging is set and checked and unchecked mtp. Ive done all I know to do
Wanted to downgrade my Nexus 7 2012 Wifi (nakasi/grouper) to 4.4.4. Now stuck at the google logo. And yes, I’ve waited… For about 40 minutes. Has anybody got an idea?
Solved! Installed 4.1 and it works. WOW
A rooted Marshmallow has landed on my Nexus 5 and it was smooth as the sea of tranquility is ! And Wugfresh is the number one ! Thank you so much !
After a series of failures with previous NRT and masterlists version (I had to reset and reflash my Nexus 6 a couple of times), finally I have been able to root my nexus 6 MRA58R.
Nexus 6, MRA58R, NRT 2.0.7, Masterlist 3092. Rooted and installed Custom recovery. Works like a charm!
Thanks!
Just upgraded my Nexus 5 from MRA58K to MRA58N (nowipe), then rooted.
No issues. Smoooooth as a baby.
WugFresh, you did it again! 🙂
So is 2.07 now using the Stock Kernel instead of having to interrupt NRT and installing the Franco kernel to work? I want to get back to completely stock and rooted if possible.
I am on
MRA58R
with
3.10.40-franco Kernel
Just want to get back to stock and rooted. Without wiping everything again, if possible.
Thanks Wug
Should work fine. Yesterday, I installed K, then rooted. Then installed R (which meant fully-stock & unrooted) using no wipe mode. Again, it worked fine. After doing this, I chose to re-root (which you don’t want to do). But bottom line is, I think you’re good to go, just installing stock R & unrooting using no wipe mode.
I want to keep root. Just wanted to know if the stock kernel is working now as it wasn’t before.
I have a few odd things happening that make me wonder if they are kernel related.
Ok I want to try again to update my nexus5 android 5.11 to 6.0 and root it and install twrp. I will try with the latest masterlist.
But first, what is a masterlist actually? And how do I check if i have the latest? I know how to update but where can I check if I have in fact the latest?
The latest masterlist is 3092.
Yes I know but How do ic heck this in NRT? Where is this mentioned?
Just start up NRT (you don’t need to have your phone connected by USB). After NRT looks for updates (and confirms that everything is current), the main windows opens. Beside that, a log window opens. And the masterlist numbers are shown in that window. Right now, when I open NRT on my PC, it shows 3 masterlists, all #3092….
So I’ve managed to get everything done on my 5x (root/twrp/busybox) after a bit of fiddling and help from nrt.
But when I use root and flash custom recovery in nrt it goes through every thing but near the end it does a final reboot and flashes stock recovery leaving me with the no recovery “dead” Android screen. This leaves me to have to flash twrp manually to get it back. Is this supposed to happen?
I just tried to Root + Custom recovery on Nexus 5 with Android 6 MRA58N – FAILED. NRT seemed to flash TWRP but when I tried to get into Recovery Mode to continue the root install, it simply booted me into full Android. I guess TWRP didn’t get installed! Now I don’t even have any recovery! I used NRT 2.0.7 for this.
[Does a bunch of things including pushing root files, etc, then…]
Connectivity Status: Fastboot Device Connected
Temporarily Booting TWRP…
fastboot boot “C:Program Files (x86)WugFresh DevelopmentNexus Root ToolkitdataRecovery_CustomTWRPtwrp-2.8.7.1-hammerhead.img”
**Then it just boots into Android**
Try alternate usb port and try again.
I got it working now. I am rooted. Not sure why TWRP didn’t load before, but then it loaded and I flashed the 3 things to root. Weirdly, it didn’t flash Busy Box even though I saw it do it. I downloaded BusyBox from Play and installed – it worked
Can you explain in me detail the procedure you followed while upgrading nexus 5 from lollipop to marshmallow
Simply try rooting again with an alt usb port. I strongly doubt “you don’t have recovery” – see FAQ: http://www.wugfresh.com/faqs/fix-device-with-no-recovery/
Worked like a charm on my Nexus 5 (MRA58N) and my Nexus 10 (LMY48X)… Updated and rooted both with no problems.
What could I be doing wrong?
Now I was able to get into TWRP! I just don’t have the NRT popup open that tells me what to install. Something inside the !ReadyToFlash directory but that’s as much as I remember
I got it working now
Nexus 5 flawless install + root. Thanks again for all the work.
@Wugfresh. Now it worked for me. I removed 7zip programm from my computer (when I choose my own nexus5 image it gave errors with nrt) and now nrt works. What I noticed when it was flashing bootloader, recovery, and such my nexus 5 didn’t reboot everytime! And when it comes to flashing “system” it was a failure, I think this is because my phone didn’t reboot between the flashes.
It’s weird but when I removed 7zip, my phone rebooted between flashes…
Another remark, when flashing system of MRA58N was done my phone just stayed in bootloader. Is this normal? I rebooted the phone manually and then it was preparing the apps for android 6.0.
Hi! I have a nexus 5 running Android 5.1.1 on blu spark kernel and xposed framework installed .obviously, the bootloader is unlocked.
I plan to install Marshmallow on my device. What is the procedure I must be following to install Android 6.0 using this toolkit . I have been waiting for xposed for marshmallow and since it is created and running fine for marshmallow I plan to upgrade my device .Please guide me with the steps I need to follow Android 6.0 using Wugs nexus root toolkit. I also wish to root the nexus 5 after installing marshmallow .So lease tell me how to do that also .
Do I have to follow any special procedure as I have xposed framework installed ?
Thank you! Nexus 5 with build MRA58N and everything works like a charm! Thankou you WugFresh for all your great work. I just had to pass the “Full Driver Installation Guide” because otherwise “Fastboot Connectivity” didn’t work, but now I have rooted device again!
hi, i have a nexus 6p and i have used NRT v2.0.7 to flash angler-mdb08m-factory-dbc17940.tgz. however it stunk at the google logo and cant get into the system.please check the tools and solve the problem, thanks alot!
Awesome! Took about 1 hour total to get through rooting my Nexus 6P! Thankyou.
Why I can not install BusyBox? No matter what path I choose “/system/xbin” or “/system/bin” I always have an error (installation was not successful)
Nexus 5X with Marshmallow is unlocked and rooted.
Can I ask you guys for help?
I have the same issue. Nexus 5x, NRT 2.0.7, MDA89E.
same here
same here
Not enough room. I used System App Remover from the Play store. I needed about 130 mb.
I’m not sure, Solid Explorer tells me I have 1.07 GB of free space on the System. There, in general you can not create any directory or file.
Anyway, I’ll try, thanks for the suggestion.
Doesn’t work 🙁
Investigating this issue now. I am able to reproduce the same on my Nexus 5X.
line 27232 problem? Anything I’m doing wrong?
Which version? 2.10?
Hi,
While trying to unlock the bootloader, I received the error:
“Line 27242 (File “C:Program Files(x86)WugFresh DevelopmentNexus Root ToolkitNexusRootToolkit.exe”);
Error array variable has incorrect number of subscripts or subscript dimension range exceeded.”
Please help
Which version. 2.1.0?
i had this too on v2.1.0
Me too on 2.1.0. Tryting to root my Nexus10. Same error like Kvin.
Thanks guys. Looking into it. Did you get the error the same way? When trying to unlock bootloader?
yes, during unlock bootloader and with the same line error too
Yep, Unlock = Line 27242 with error messange and program close..
Did it reboot to bootloader mode first, or just instantly gave you error upon clicking the button? Thank you for info. I definitely want to get this bug figured out asap.
it did reboot to bootloader mode first then gave the error and closed the program
Thank you for info boaya!
welcome and thanks for the tool. hope you figure it out.
same problem for me, sprint samsung galaxy
Nexus 5x (MDB08L) unable to install busybox using NRT 2.1.0. Unable to flash TWRP as part of root & flash custom recovery. Was able to flash TWRP separately in advanced utilities. Current have root but not fully functional without busybox.
Wugfresh,
please, can you tell us why this is happening? How can we solve this problem?
Try uninstalling apps in /system. Carefully! I used System App Remover from the Play store, you need around 130mb free.
I have the same issue, Busybox won’t install, and I have 1095 MB free in /system. Should be enough!?
i just got an update for busybox and it installed correctly it looks like the problem was on their end. As of now root/TWRP seem to be working correctly. I flashed Xposed and everything seems to be fine.
Can you give me more details, please? I’m sorry, but I do not even know what it is Xposed ….: |
Update: I was getting random reboots with Xposed on MDB08L so I flashed stock up to MDB08M and did not reinstall Xposed, busybox is having the failed install problem again. Some root apps work, some don’t – greenify root works, secure settings works, but any ad blocking does not.
Can you add Custom ROM – M (Marshmallow) for Nexus 4 and 5, Galaxy Nexus, Nexus S option for the Selection of Android Build? New ROMs supporting those devices is on XDA
If I wanted to enable full disk encryption on my Nexus 5 would I run into any problems updating and re-rooting?
Upgraded Nexus 5 from mra58k to n. And rooted the phone. No problems. Unlocked and rooted my brandnew Nexus 6p. No problems. Thank you Wug!
busybox won’t install

Why are there still no support for all of the Lollipop builds (LMY48X, LMY48Y, LMY48W) for the nexus 6?
Hey Victor Qu – sorry about that. Looks like I just overlooked some builds. Working on it now. Will update you within the hour when its supported.
@victorqu:disqus I just pushed Masterlists v3099 with support for all those missing Nexus 6 builds. Enjoy!

finished 😉 Thank you very much WugFresh 6.0.0 (MRA58N) on Nexus 5 is rooted
Hi Wugfresh… Thank you for the brilliant application. I was successfully able to fix (partially) my nexus 5 which had this weird issue with impromptu reboots.
The device worked fine for some time but now I am getting the issue again intermittently. Any word of advise from yourself or some one more experienced.
I love my nexus 5 and really dont want to part with it
I would suggest backing up and reflashing stock with “Flash Stock + Unroot”
I did indeed do that with the “Soft Bricked/Bootloop” option selected. The device worked perfectly for a week / ten days and then was back to acting up again…
Though I must add that it doesnt happen as frequently as it was happening earlier. As soon as the device was out of warranty at the end of last year this issue started happening and the frequency increased to a point when I had to install DTSO (Double Tap Screen On Off) and even the slightest touch to the power button would send send my phone down bootloop. When this would happen, I used to start my device by hammering away with multiple clicks on the start button…
Atleast after using your tool to root and upgrade, there was no issue initially and when it did resurface, it is not that frequent. Hope that helps put things in a better perspective.
Hi Wugfresh,
The restarts are becoming more frequent now. Another thing that I am noticing is that the date sometimes goes back to a random older date which makes no sense at all to me. For example after one of the restarts the date went back to 14 September and I had only used the NRT tool sometime in end October to install marshmallow.
Any thoughts of what the issue can be and how to fix it.
Your only recourse is trying to reflash stock again. Try flashing a different build. If your problems persist it could be a hardware issue.
Good afternoon. I was attempting to flash the latest marshmallow 6.0 through the NRT. But, for some reason, the NRT did not recognize the zip file for the mashmallow 6.0. Am I suppose to unzip the file first and then run it through NRT?
Hi Wugfresh… Many thanks you for the amazing application. In custom recovery my storage couldn’t mount and i found 0 MB (nexus 7 2013 Wi-Fi). Is there any chance to root my device 🙁
I’m waiting your kind reply dear genius “Wugfresh”
I’m waiting for your reply 🙁
hey Wugfresh. Using 2.1.0 and Nexus 6 (successfully got to Stock 6.0.0 MRA58R via NRT 2.1.0), I’m unable to do the following: Advanced->Restore Stock Recovery (gets stuck in TWRP saying “Waiting for Device” – after I reboot manually from within TWRP. Tried twice. Not sure if ADB Connect only working in PTP (vs MTP) mode has anything to do with it (I think pre-Marshmallow it had to be in MTP?). Also, the OEM Lock does not work. In both cases, NRT thinks it was successful, but neither are working for me. How can I help debug? Let me know!
Hi Wug, thanks for all the hard work. There are still some things I can’t do with 2.1.0/3097 because it says there’s no modified_boot.img for my Nexus 6P (MDB08L). Is this true? Should I just wait?
Used toolkit to succesfully root Nexus 5x. But seems like can’t write in /system or something. (Busybox app won’t install to system, AdAway can’t write hosts file in system, etc.)
Also have a Nexus 5 just rooted and it doesn’t have this issue.
Help? What do?
Successfully rooted Nexus 5x (using nrt 2.1.0.) but can’t write to /system or something. (Busybox won’t install in /system/… AdAway can’t write host file to system, etc.) Any solution to this?
My Nexus 5 that I just rooted (using the toolkit as well) doesn’t have this problem.
Help? What do?
..and i double posted this. My bad.
I am having the same issue unable to copy to the file system
According to many users, there is a newer version of busybox out now that works. I will be updating the kit with this shortly.
I’ve already downloaded/updated busybox from the playstore. I don’t think this is the issue.
Which build are you trying this on that is giving you difficulty?
MDB08M on Nexus 5X. I’m definitely rooted now but anything that needs to write to system will not work like I said. Which defeats a lot of the purpose of rooting. Your toolkit worked perfect for my Nexus 5 and 7 though. Just something is off with 5x. Seems other are having this issue as well.
Thanks, really appreciate the work you put in.
I am able to reproduce this fail install behavior on my Nexus 5X. I am investigating the issue. Either the root kernel will need further modding, or some of the available root apps such as busybox installer will need further updating.
For what it’s worth, I’m seeing the same problem on a Nexus 5X with BusyBox, and also AdAway and AdFree.
AdAway complains its symlink can’t be created, and blames HTC’s S-On as a likely culprit.
AdFree fails silently. It claims all is well, but doesn’t actually block anything.
I am having the same issue. Would be appreciated if you found a work around. Thanks for your great work!
I’m using Xposed Framework now with modules like Adblock that are working perfectly fine so I think it’s just that a lot of the root apps (like busybox) need updating.
So yeah I don’t think it’s an issue with the toolkit/root but what do I know.
It seems with Marshmallow, there is a *lot* less space in /system to install Busybox. I’ve seen it listed as 19mb free or even less, which necessitates removing some System APKs to gain enough free space. Some have suggested even using System App Remover from the Play Store to solve this.
I’m having the same issue with my 5x. Also, on nrt 2.1.0 when I do “root and also flash custom recovery” after installing and booting up the phone the toolkit restarts my phone again and flashes the stock recovery automatically for some reason.
do you have any update on this? my phone is successfully rooted but the system directory is read only. as well as meaning busybox fails to install, it also means AdAway is unable to edit the hosts file. I’ve tried a number of methods to remount system to give read/write access but have been unable to.
Hey, yeah – spoke with Chainfire about this complication the other day, and we will have to await the next version of SuperSU for a working fix.
Had the same issue, i thought wugfresh is using the wrong rooted boot image. I don’t use busybox.
Successfully rooted N6 MRA58K. Of course I realized MRA58R was available after. So updated to R and rooted again successfully.
Thanks, successfully upgraded my rooted N5 MRA58K to MRA58N then root
One small thing though, when I rooted my N5 MRA58N, the Busybox did not install but the root was sucessfull, weird.
I manually installed BusyBox just in case.
Everything worked fine
Thanks again Wugs
Thanks for the toolkit – donation just sent. I rooted a Nexus 5 on MRA58N, however when I tried to create nandroid backup w/ custom recovery I got this error message: “This feature will not work properly without a modified boot.IMG. There is currently no modified boot.IMG available for your MRA58N. You may have to wait for/ WugFresh to build and upload it. It is recommended to upgrade to the latest build available first.” What does that last sentence mean? should I have waited to root until after there was a “modified boot.IMG available for your MRA58N.”?
Work still needs to be done for all the fully automated features in NRT to work on Marshmallow. You can make nandroid backups manually with TWRP for now. The features currently available are as much as I am able to do right now, but more will come soon once I can build similar modified boot.imgs for Marshmallow, like I was able to for lollipop.
Unable to root Nexus Player using NRT 2.1.0 – I’m able to flash the Marshmallow 6.0 MRA58N ROM, but after I follow the the steps to root and install TWRP recovery the Nexus Player gets stuck in the bootanimation. The only way to get it to boot is to re-flash the MRA58N. I had a similar issue with my Nexus 7 2013 when I rooted it with NRT 2.0.7, but was fixed with an updated boot image that was subsequently added to the toolkit. Is any one else having issues rooting the Nexus Player using this Marshmallow image?
Hey @tamanaco:disqus – I will look into it. I have a Nexus Player myself, so I will see if I can reproduce and try to figure out why.
Same issue here, oddly I get the same problem with MRA58K as well. I updated to MRA58N hoping it would root on the latest version but again hung up on the boot animation.
Any solution on this?
My Nexus Player was updated overnight to 6.0.1 MMB29M. I updated NRT 2.1.0 and attempted to root this new release, but the NP still gets stuck in the boot animation. Will this issue be fixed in the next release?
Same issue for me too :(. Stuck in bootanimation and can’t get out unless i reflash with the stock..
Sorry if this is a duplicate post… but I can’t see the one I posted earlier. Maybe it got lost somewhere.
I’m able to flash the Marshmallow 6.0.0 MRA58N image using the NRT
2.1.0, but after flashing the 3 zips (perm-recover-signed, SuperSU-2.52
and busybox-signed) in the root flash folder, the Nexus Player gets
stuck in the bootanimation. If I flash the ROM back, the Nexus Player
boots right away without any issues, of course, without root. I
experienced a similar problem with my Nexus 7 2013 with the first
release of the NRT 2.07 which was fixed with a subsequent 2.07 update that had an updated boot image for the Nexus 7.2013
Btw, in order to flash the root files with TWRP you need a mouse (I’m using
a Logitech wireless keyboard with an integrated trackpad) in order to
select the options in TWRP recovery and to swipe the arrow to the right
in order to flash the selected files. (The swiping can be a little
tricky)
Can i flash when there is no modified boot.img ? I will put the rom and gapps on my smartphone, will it work?
It will work, it will just require some manual steps – which it will walk you through.
Nexus 5 running MRA58N with root thanks to you!
There is still a little trial and error as far as getting it to boot after rooting and then factory reset to get back into the settings where I was able to clone from my other phone. I’m guessing there is a less round about way to get it done but it is finally done! Thanks Again! Next to work on the nexus 6 root….
Hi WugFresh,
As you know, the android monthly updates for December 2015 will roll out soon for both Lollipop and Marshmallow. When do you plan to support those new builds?
I typically aim to support new builds within 48hours after they are released to Google’s factory image page. Ideally less than 24hours if I am notified immediately. The last few months I have just been extremely busy and there was a lot of work needed to be done to support marshmallow – which is why the project stalled a bit. Things are back on track and a lot of work has been done on my end go hopefully make supporting new releases quick again.

I updated my Nexus 6 to MRA58N and then decided to root it. After I did, I tried to install ad block on it and it gave me an error that “/data/data/xxxx” was full and to clear space. Never had this issues before. I don’t remember the exact file path but wondered what I am doing wrong. Never had this issue before, but this is the first time I am rooting since Marshmallow came out.
Not a NRT issue. I changed the partition 2 months ago because that message and blew up the problem.
Thanks for sharing!
Nexus 6 here, when using the toolkit, under “flash stock + root” the Marshmallow images are out of order. MRA58N should be before MRA58R. This is confusing because under the “your model type” the images are listed correctly in there. Just wanted to bring it to your attention.
Tried the root option and I’m getting an AutoIt Error…Line 27242…Error: Array variable has incorrect number of subscripts or subscript dimension range exceeded.
you need to make an update to try find out how can we unlock the bootloarder on an bootloop device running marshmello
will there be support for nexus 6 t-mobile build of marshmallow?
Hi,
i am trying to root my Galaxy Nexus device but the unlooking is not working.
I’ve tried it on several computers and i receive always the same error message
“Line 27242 (File “C:Program Files (x86)WugFresh DevelopmentNexus Root ToolkitNexusRootToolkit.exe”):
Error: Array variable has incorrect number of subscripts or subscript dimension range exceeded.”
Could you please help me?
I am getting the same error
developer can you help us resolve this?
Just updated my Nexus 5 to MRA58N which went fine but I am now unable to Root it, it gets to the point where it should temporarily boot into Recovery but instead it just reboots into Android, anyone else seeing this or know how to fix this?
I’m Using NRT 2.1.0
Hi…thanks a lot……worked well for me but my Nexus 5 is 32 GB…after the downgrade my storage shows only 12 GB…can you please help me with this.
You need to do a factory reset from within your nexus 5.
When I boot into TWRP none of the zips are in the /sdcard/ folder. What am I doing wrong?
check if you have mounted your phone’s sd card. if it is mounted to the computer the phone cant read it.
Hey, i downloaded the MRA58N Custom rom from XDA and was trying to flas it on my N5. but when i try to do it through NRT it gives me error that “there is no modified boot.img available for your build.” i am currently on MRA58K rom and cant upgrade because of this error. i tried updating and reinstalling NRT but the error still prevails.
please help.
P.S my NRT version is the latest one i.e 2.1.0
Hi there, just got the Nexus 6p and noticed you just updated this to include the 6p. I’m really stuck though because I can not figure out MTP. Did something change in Marshmallow that I am not aware of. I am doing the initial setup and can’t seem to find a way to complete step 2 in the initial setup. I look for the menu in the upper right hand corner (step 3 of tab step 2) and I just can’t find it.
Thanks
Replying to myself here. I just skipped over it and installed drivers using recommending settings and then ran the test and there was no issues so I’m assuming I’m good, even if MTP doesn’t seem to be working. Is that okay?
Just wanted to say that (for me at least) the current iteration of your toolkit, 2.1.0, is working flawlessly. I have a Nexus 6P and am rooting and upgrading the Android build. Thank you for all of your hard, dedicated work. It’s very much appreciated
donated some $$ for your troubles… thank you for this useful tool
I just have a question. I want to use this to root my nexus 6p. But I want to keep android pay. I know there’s a systemless root method out there. I know this doesn’t do that. I can’t get my computer to recognize adb. Is there a way I can unlock the bootloader with this and then install twrp and then flash supersu manually with the beta. Would that work? Can anyone help please.
Unlocking Bootloaders for 6P is giving a warning screen at boot up… what is going wrong here? I noticed this in Android Police artical..
”
By now most orders for the Nexus 6P have been delivered, or at least
getting close. If you haven’t tried unlocking the bootloader yet, it
might come as a surprise that the ‘fastboot oem unlock’ command
no longer works. Attempting to use it with the Nexus 6P fails with a
message that it is an unknown instruction. Don’t worry, this doesn’t
have anything to do with drivers, and it isn’t a fluke. Google had
Huawei replace the oem command in the Nexus 6P bootloader with the new flashing command. Here’s what it will look like:
fastboot flashing unlock
fastboot flashing lock
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
fastboot flashing lock_critical
fastboot flashing get_unlock_ability”
Have these commands been put into NRT yet? Also how do we fix this.
This newer flashing unlock command is integrated into NRT for the devices that require it – yes.
Any update on the /system read only issue with the nexus 5x? And thanks for the work you guys do, I’ve been using NRT with my Nexus 5 for long time and it’s a huge time saver for rooting/unlocking/re-rooting after updates.
A shoutout and lots of love to Wugfresh for the great tool! Looking forward to installing and rooting MMB29K on my Hammerhead.
v6.0.1 (MMB29K) and many more rolled out… o/ Waiting for update 🙂
How long does it generally take to upload and push new image files to the toolkit after Google releases them?
I think it used to be faster but since Marshmallow it’s taken a lot longer. Marshmallow took at least a couple of weeks and the last minor update took a week.
Wugfresh please help with my error. Due to it i am unable to upgrade to latest build. i posted the error few days back.
can it root Nexus 7 2013 LTE android 6.0 yet?
Sorry wug. Trying to root nexus 7v2. Goes fine until temporarily opens twrp. Waiting for device. There are no zip files in sdcard to flash. Any ideas on how to get it to work. I’m using version 2.1.0. I’m on stock ota LMY48I. When it boots into twrp every folder is empty.
Having some problems rooting a Nexus 5 with NRT 2.1.0. I have unlocked the device and the driver test was successful, however during the rooting process at the stage when the log says “Temporarily Booting TWRP…” and the rooting instructions for TWPR window pops up the phone simply reboots into Android. The phone does not enter into the TWRP menu as expected. I would appreciate some advice how to problem solve this issue. The device has been rooted before using an earlier version of NRT. Thanks!
Problem solved! I got around the issue by manually booting Custom Recovery in the advanced Utilities.
Hi, My Nexus 5 – 18 months old phone. suddenly turned off. Keeps restarting while connected to power. Left for couple days, didnt work out. Removed and packed back the battery, even though no-luck. I have taken to Mobile store, he said there is a problem with power section and it is now sorted out, tried switching it on but showing like Starting Android but its like on going process.. turned off and tried it again. Left full night to allow it itself staring the android but same screen in the morning also. Mobile store guy said to hard factory reset if it didnt work-out but i will loose the data. so, today morning I started doing to with youtube videos help. But again ended up “Recovery Mode” – “No Command” screen freezing and coming back to same story. At last tried with NRT V2.1.0, however i have a new screen using it today that is to chose “Yes” option while trying to unlock it. but again there after no further process…. “Notification window – Wait for your device for finishing up booting……..” Please help me out in giving any solution for this..
Wug – are you going to release a new NRT that supports rooting for the most recent builds? I just used NRT to install MMB29K on my Nexus 6. Worked fine, and I seem to be getting improved LTE. BUT, NRT 2.1.0 won’t let me root because this build isn’t listed….
Of course he will.. give the man some time..
Posted earlier, didn’t seem to work: when will NRT support the latest builds (including 6.0.1)? I’ve flashed MMB29K, and it worked well – but NRT (2.1.0, masterlists 3099) won’t let me root it because the build isn’t officially included….
When will you add support for build MMB29K?
As above.
Wug, thank you for such an incredible i would say piece of art) and question: will you add root support for the latest android build (MMB29K)?
Of course he will as he said below it’s usually done within 48 hours but might sometimes take longer depending on how much free time he has.. You really didn’t need to ask.
Chill guys, I’m sure WugFresh working on it, please be patient…
6.0.1 added – root working properly on my devices. Busybox install issue with the playstore app is a known problem at this point – still investigating the best fix.
Wug, thank you so much! nexus 7 rooted successfully!
Hi, First of all bravo for this toolkit !
I try rooting my Nexus 5 having installed the 6.0.1 and I have the Line 27242 (File “C:Program Files (x86)WugFresh DevelopmentNexus Root ToolkitNexusRootToolkit.exe”):
Error: Array variable has incorrect number of subscripts or subscript dimension range exceeded.” error.
Edit : After a retry, it worked nicely. So perfect 🙂
Just went to root and install TWRP, but the files weren’t on my SD Card… trying again. I’m on a Nexus 6.
Seems like right now, BusyBox needs more room in /system than what’s available. I’ve gotten around the install issue by removing a couple of unneeded APKs to free up space.
Thanks! Works like a charm, as always 🙂 (Nexus 7 2013)
Will this work with nexus player devices? About 2 weeks ago, the latest update left us in a bootloop when rooting. Thanks!
Does this fix bootloop on nexus player?
Is there any chance how to install busybox some other way?
Great work, Wug, alays used your fantastic tool! But with this version I am not more able to root my Galaxy Nexus, this is the error:
“Line 27242 (File “C:Program Files (x86)WugFresh DevelopmentNexus Root ToolkitNexusRootToolkit.exe”):
Error: Array variable has incorrect number of subscripts or subscript dimension range exceeded”
I see (few comments down and also in the official discussion on XDA) that also other people are having the same issue with this version and this device. Can you please fix it? Thanks 🙂
Yes, this happened when it went into bootloader right? I know the fix – I have just been super busy, will get fixed this weekened. Just retry again.
Yes you´re right, it happend when it went into bootloader! Thank you 🙂
For what it’s worth, I’m running into this same problem on an Asus Nexus 7 Wifi (running 5.0.2), and retrying and retrying results in the same error each time regardless whether I start with the device showing the boot loader already or if it’s booted into Android and is allowing the toolkit to boot it to the boot loader using USB debugging. Would love to know if there’s a trick to get past this step and unlock.
Same problem here. Now I regret updating. It was working fine earlier :p
I tried it again yesterday and I’m still getting the same error as Micro. Any chance you had time to get this fixed yet?
Galaxy Nexus (T-mobile variant)
I got the same problem here, is there any solution!? or maybe in the next update?
Have you had a chance to work on this? I have the same problem with my Google Samsung Nexus S 4G running 4.1.2. Will you post a message when it’s fixed or you have a workaround?
Hey Wug, thanks so much for this. I was wondering if you were going to add MRA58X now that Google posted it?
Think you could read the posts below before asking a question with a obvious answer?
Think you could read the posts below too? Searching for ‘MRA58X’ only shows two hits, one of them mine. I was asking if he was going to add it to NRT, since Google *just* posted it a few days ago. Who died and made you Moderator?
It’s the Nexus Toolkit. Wug has added support for everything that’s come out since it’s development.
Don’t you think he get’s tired of multiple questions asking “Wug are you gonna add support for ABC123” within 24 hours of it having been released? The answer is obvious. If someone did die I’ll you..it would’ve been someone who knew what thew answer was.. along with about oh..99.9% of just about everyone else who actually uses this tool. If I was a moderator I’d have a rule against asking that and would auto delete any posts and warn anyone who asked. Don’t kids came off spoon feeding after a couple of years?
Will wug be adding Android 7 when it gets released? Yes, yes he will he has done for the last however long! I’d Like to reiterate what Ry has said the NRT gets updated soon after release so pointless asking its not going to make it go any quicker! Lets keep this to troubleshooting and what not and not just a means to bug Wugs.
As far as I know, and what I’ve seen, MRA58X is not available in NRT as an option. I’m not *begging* for Wug to add it, I was merely curious if he *was*, since Google posted it about a week ago after the other versions.
Yeah I know that it’s not supported right now but it can’t be too far off.
Wug, thank you for all your work. Having issues with Nexus 5X and AdAway. I’m able to root with no problems, on 6.0 and just now on 6.0.1. But when trying to set up AdAway, I get an error: “Copying of hosts file failed.” It seems I don’t have permission to write to the hosts file, even though I have root access. I also have a Nexus 9 that works fine with 6.0.1 root + AdAway. Worked fine on my old Nexus 5 too. The only issue is on the 5X.
I had the same problem, gmail was notifying me that I have problem with play services. So uninstall updates of play services, update them again and after that you will be able to install busybox without problem! And after all, ad away is working like a charm!
Cheers! 🙂
Thanks for the reply, but that didn’t work for me. I uninstalled the updates, reinstalled, and then tried AdAway, and I got the same error message. Also tried running AdAway before reinstalling Play Services update and received the same error.
Has anyone else been able to use AdAway on a rooted 5X?
You most likely need a little space in the system partition. I had this issue before and I used Titanium Backup to remove Google Korean Input and Google Pinyin Input from the system partition as I don’t use these.
I was able to permanently delete Docs/Sheets/Slides using the new 6.0 feature for uninstalling certain system apps (not just disabling them). Shouldn’t that be enough space?
Use an app like Diskinfo to find out how much space is left on your system partition. Some apps look for some minimum amount of space left in that partition in order to execute.
there actually seems to be a problem with the 5X and root. while all root-apps are saying that access is there (and granted via SU), it’s read-only. not sure what causes this, and it does not seem to affect everyone. i noticed this by trying to install the newest busybox, deinstalling system apps with TiB, and ultimately using AdAway. every of those actions failed.
This is what I was thinking. Nothing seems to be working. Thankfully I’m able to flash MOAAB, but it’s not as good as AdAway. I only want root to block ads.
I’m having the exact issue as well. I’ve tried flashing busybox and then installed the latest busybox from the play store. This allowed busy box to install properly, but it still seems like I don’t have permission to write to the system partition. :'(
Mahalo for your work on this awesome tool. I have used it previously to root and unlock the same phone. Unfortunately, i am getting the same error reported by other users. “Line 27242 (File “C:Program Files (x86)WugFresh DevelopmentNexus Root ToolkitNexusRootToolkit.exe”):Error: Array variable has incorrect number of subscripts or subscript dimension range exceeded”.
I am using Samsung Galaxy Nexus Verizon sch-i515.
hi again, long time… back with the n7: Got one issue I came up to recently that I have to note – When your softbricked(bootlooped, etc) and have to use the toolkit to repair it, the popup instructs you to ‘hold power, volume up, and volume down’ at the same time. THIS does NOT work with nexus 7, you need to hold power ‘until it powers up’ (When u see google, and the locked/unlocked icon) then, while still holding down power, hold down volume down key(NOT up)
Just a small note (Im unsure if the same is true of the n5 or n6, but I haven’t had issues with my n5 or 6)
MMB29K Flash+Unroot my N5, then root, no problem at all.
Thank you very much, Wug!
N5X just flashed latest MB29K and on boot get message “There’s an internal problem with your device. Contact your manufacturer for details”. I didn’t root just stock this is just 1st/2nd boot after flashing stock.
Just flashed 6.0.1 and rooted my N6
everything works fine
But when i try to access to recovery , i’ve the droid laying down with the belly open and the red sign. Why ?
Hey WugFresh you’re the greatest 😉 Update Nexus 5 to Android 6.0.1 MMB29K = Check !!! Root = Check !!!
Thank you ver mutch for the great work everytime
Loeschi
Nexus 7 (2013) – Android 6.0.1, root supported?
Yep. Works fine!
Does this update (2.1.0) support MMB29K root on the Nexus 5X?
at least in some cases it’s read-only, but generally speaking you can root MMB29K with the current version
Hey WugFresh, keep up the awesome work. I just noticed that 5.1.1 (LMY48Z) isn’t recognized for my old Nexus 10 — any plans to sneak that in there so I can root? 🙂
Wug for life!
Hey… Thanks for this great thing!:)
So, any chance of having a completely automated rooting also in Android 6.1? Why, as you might know, there are many visually impaired Android users who like to root their Nexus devices independently without asking a sighted assistance for help. This was possible in Android 5.1.1 but now I see I have to do something on the phone in the end of the rooting process. Note that I am not talking about bootloader unlocking, since I already did that and did not relock my bootloader. I am talking about the stage that we need to add the zip packages and install them.
So again, any chance of having an automated root like before?
Thanks so much!
Yes – this will eventually happen, I am still waiting on one more component becoming available – then it will be possible, hopefully soon.
Hello Wugfresh. is there a reason why in NRT it is still SuperSU 2.52 and not the latest beta: 2.62??
Hit update in the kit today and its now using the new beta: 2.62
Thanks! Franko kernel release 77 (for Android 6.01) was only compatible with Supersu the 2.60 system less root. I hope it will work now
I’m already rooted on my Nexus 6 with android 6.0 but I want to update to 6.0.1 with the ota but I understand it will take away root if I do. My question is, will rooting again with this toolkit wipe all my data?
Rooting should not wipe the data, only unlocking the bootloader does that. If you already unlocked your bootloader you won’t be able to take an OTA, you have to manually update. If you manually update using NRT make sure to use no wipe mode
Hey Wug, any update on fixing root access on the 5X? I don’t think I’m the only one — I can root successfully, but it leaves me with read-only access. 6.0.1 / MMB29K
no news so far i’m afraid. in the meantime i opened a topic in the forums.
Thanks for opening the topic — if you can post a link, I’d be happy to post my experiences as well.
since i am not able to post links here, just navigate to /forums/thread/nexus-5x-root-is-read-only/ here on the site
Try updating, reflashing stock and rooting again. Now kit is using 2.62 supersu which autopatches the kernel and uses systemless root.
Awesome, I was debating on whether or not to manually use 2.62, but now I don’t have to! I will try on the 5X and 9 this afternoon and report back. Thank you!!
just tested it and i can confirm that root works now, you have to pay attention though. after you flash the zip files as instructed, TWRP on its own will ask you if it should install superSU. this you have to decline! also make sure, that before attempting to root you deinstalled any manual updates (playstore) of superSU and busybox.
Thanks for confirming! What if you factory reset, flash stock, and unroot first? After big adjustments like this, I generally like to even OEM lock so that I’m 100% back to factory state, and then I go through the NRT process from scratch. Hopefully that works.
i don’t see how that could be a problem. ofc the factory reset should already get rid of the playstore updates, so one step less for you. the important part really is to decline TWRPs request to flash superSU, since this to my understanding replaces the version you just flashed with the zip. (it even tells you during flashing to dismiss the request)
I didn’t have time to do the full unroot and relock on my 5X. So I just flashed stock, unrooted, then rooted again using SuperSU 2.62 and it worked. AdAway successfully wrote the hosts file, no more ads! Thank you so much Wug, donation incoming!!
I can confirm that following these instructions works on my Nexus 5X. I had the same problems as Ted before. Thanks!
WugFresh, First of all Thank You!. I use this last month to unlock and root my Google Nexus 6P and got it running great on Verizon even though it isn’t white list yet. I am running Android 6.0 and Build MDB08L. I keep getting an OTA 6.01 message. I have been reading through below and it seems that I can now use the tool to move to the new Android 6.01. However, I am a bit confused on the steps. Would it be possible to spell it out? Should I Flash Stock and Unroot first?
Keep up the great work.
Dave
I just updated from 6.0 MDB08L to 6.0.1 by doing flash stock + unroot and it works. Make sure check no-wipe mode if u want to keep your files. However, I cant root after updated to 6.0.1.
hi. i updated my n5 hammerhead from 6.0.0 to 6.0.1 and tried to root that. first time tried to install su-2.62 but it failed. second time i root n5 with su-2.52 – was done. what is the problem?
Thanks for this work! I update my nexus 6 from 6.0.1, how I can install root to my device?
Thanks Wugfresh…..
I soft bricked my nexus 5……now by the help of this toolkit….I m back….
I m a kid..so I can’t donate…..but I can say you thanks…..Thank-you So Much
You are welcome! Nice – happy to hear it helped!
I can confirm (just tried) that the issue with Galaxy Nexus is still here.
Thanks wugfresh, i followed all instruction to unlock and root my Nexus 4 ,BUT after rooting, when i try to reboot in recovery mode, i get android lying on its back with ” ! ” mark on it, Also i didnt get busybox fee app as well. what went wrong? please reply.
thanks again.
Wugfresh, When I set the root on your nexus 6, the first time using it I have it flies. What should I do?
rooted my 6p but cant update the supersu binary keeps failing. need help. have 2.62 on nexus root toolkit but the supersu on play store is 2.46 can someone please help
just guessing, but sounds like the same inconvenience the 5X suffers from at the moment. did by any chance after flashing the zip-files from the recovery twrp specifically ask you if it should flash superSU for you?
Yes, but I did not install it. Now it works. I told it not to install it
This is exactly what is happening with me, was it fixed?
So the first time I tried to root it I didn’t save the zip files to the sd card. So I reflashed it and saved all the zip files to the sd card. At the the end of rooting the phone twrp said your phone doesn’t seem to be rooted and wanted to download SuperSU again. I told it not to, and everything thing is working perfectly now.
After updating the Material list and updating the SuperSU zip to version 2.62 via the NRT 2.1.0 I was able to successfully flash Android 6.0.1 MMB29M and root my Nexus Player with the updated SuperSU. Only issue that I have now is that the Home button of the Nexus Player remote does not bring me back the the Home Screen (Leanback Launcher). I re-flashed the image several times with and without root, but still the Home button does not function. I wonder it this is a bug in MMB29M or if they change the behavior of the Home key. It’s not the remote key itself as the same thing happens when I use the Home key on my Logitech K700 keyboard. Both these Home keys worked with previous versions of Marshmallow.
Not sure about your home screen issue – rooting wouldn’t affect that, maybe a hardware issue, or bug in that google release. Regarding recovery however, sounds like TWRP never flashed properly. Reflash it. See this FAQ: http://www.wugfresh.com/faqs/fix-device-with-no-recovery/
WugFresh,
First of all thanks… re-flashing TWRP fixed the issue of not booting into recovery. I apologize for the off topic question, but my understanding is that you also have a Nexus Player. Are you running Android 6.0.1 and if so, does the Home button of your remote work as expected? Like I said, I doubt that it’s a hardware problem as it’s happening to my remote and my K700 keyboard simultaneously. Both of these Home keys worked fine before flashing 6.0.1.
Factory reset fixed the issue with the Home button on both the remote and the keyboard. Wish I could’ve found exactly what was causing the problem. Reset the NP over 5 hours ago and I’m still re-installing and re-configuring the NP settings, Kodi and other apps.
nexus 6 with android 6.0.1 successfully rooted using supersu 2.62. The problem now is when editing the build.prop system file, the file
contents get deleted ie it has zero content in it. I tried two root file managers, root explorer and fx manager. Really the phone is not
rooted properly until you can edit system files.
You probably ran out of space in the /system partition. Go and delete some system packages like asian input methods etc. (unless you are using asian inputs, remove something you dont need) then try again.
rooting with su ver 2.62 creates a problem when editing the build.prop file it deletes its contents
Problem solved, now able to edit the build.prop file.
Rooting with su ver 2.62 didn’t create the problem.
android 6.01 filled the system partition, I deleted the
YouTube apk from the system partition app folder
and then was able to edit successfully.
I have a Nexus5x brand new out of the box. I did the OTA update to 6.0.1. I unlocked, rooted and installed TWRP, seemingly with no problems – I didn’t receive any errors. However, as of the time of this writing, my phone has been sitting at the “swirling dots” loading screen for about an hour. Any advice?
Doesn’t have option for LMY48Z 🙁
just pick any at the bottom
“Hashcheck missmatch” I wasn’t able to go beyond that point. Nexus 6 Android 6.0.1
Hew wuggie, hit me up on hangouts. I want to port youre toollbox over to linux so you can make it work for both platforms. The all in one Nexus toolkit!
Hello Wug,
As you know Chainfire is now working on some kind of systemless root… The newest Supersu install zip will detect whether if the phone’s boot image support traditional way of rooting. But I found that with Nexus 6 on MMB29K I cannot do it the old way. All I got is systemless root. On the other hand, it seems that Chainfire stopped making Nexus boot images for traditional rooting. Would you patch boot images for Nexus devices? I hope there are people who still prefer the traditional nonsystemless root, just like me.
Thanks. I will buy you a beer again.
After loading up SuperSU on Nexus 5x 6.0.1, I’m getting a “Insallation failed ! Please reboot and try again.” error. I’ve rebooted 5 times already.
that’s because you overwrote superSU with another version. uninstall all updates you may have made to superSU via the playstore, flash stock+unroot with NRT again. after that try to root it again with the tool kit. after you flashed the zip-files and the recovery asks you to flash superSU decline and say *no* to that, since that flashes another version over the one you just put on your device with the zip-file.
I tried wugs toolkit. I have custom recovery installed and I’m unlocked ,but I’m stuck on the maeshmellow boot logo I can not get my device to boot up.
did u get it to work ??
Hey Wug,
Got an error after flashing 6.0.1 (“nowipe” mode) on a N5. I keep getting the following error every time I try to update the “model type”:
Line 19098 (File “/path-to-folder/NexusRootKit.exe”)
Error: Subscript used on non-accessible variable.
Tried to root afterwards and got the never ending marshmallow logo loop (similar to some of the comment bellow mentioned). I was able to recover from that by flashing back to 6.0.0 and then to 6.0.1 again.
Any suggestion on how I can root my device.
Happy holidays and thank you for the wonderful job you are doing.
I recently updated from windows 7 to windows 10. I seem to be having troube with NRT Dependency Downloader. Every time i click the “Download+update all dependencies” it gives me an incomplete download and of course fails the hashcheck. It worked fine before windows 10.
I can download it manually by fallowing the link in the pop up, but just want to know if there is anything I can do to solve my problem.
Tried running as administrator, reinstalled and check my firewall/antivirus. Any help would be much appreciated.
Hello,
I’ve rooted my nexus 7(2012) with Nexus Root Toolkit at android 4.2.2 (JDQ39) “nakasi”. After that Super User was installed in my tab. Everything was fine, but last week I unfortunately tried to update the android version to 4.4. But the tab showed that update is failed and after that the tab is struck with “no command” and a dead android with red pyramid. As I can not start/boot tab so I can’t enable USB debugging, so I cant use the toolkit again to flash back. My windows 7 pc also don’t show the tab. I tried almost everything as I can surfing internet.
Now please help me to get back my tab. It’s my daily companion actually. And thanks a lot in advance.
as I have NRT 2.1.0 installed on Windows 10. I am trying to Flash Stock + Unroot my 2012 Nexus 7. It errors out with “Line 27242 (File “C:Program Files (x86)WugFresh DevelopmentNexus Root ToolkitNexusRootToolkit.exe”): Error: Array variable has incorrect number of subscripts or subscript dimension range exceeded.
i’ve the same error
I have the same problem too. My OS is Win 8.1, I’m trying to unlock my GT-I9250 Nexus.
same issue here on Win 10 haven’t messed with my N6 yet, but my n7(wifi) does this every time,may revert to old verson of nrt to see if that works
Same error as well
same error with Nexus 10 and windows 8… Any advice?
Same problem for my 2012 N7… on Win8.1.
Nexus 7 2013 LTE, latest Android update appears to have bricked it. NRT worked to the point of unlocking the bootloader; it shows “rebooting” but the device itself is still at the “Unlock bootloader?” screen. I’ve retried it:
05f0afc3 fastboot
Connectivity Status: Fastboot Device Connected
+ Bootloader Status: Locked.
fastboot oem unlock
Rebooting your device…
However device does not reboot and continues to sit at the “unlock bootloader” screen.
What might I try next?
I have a nexus 6. MotoXT1100, XT1103 Android 6.0.1 MMB29K
I’m trying to OEM lock because I have to send it back for warranty. The NRT says it work, but it is still showing unlocked when it boots. I’m not sure where to start so I can fix this and I have to sent it back today 🙁 . hopefully someone can help me.
NRT v2.1.0
After the root process nexus5 will not start. it will display only booting process.Pleass give some help
Read further down. Others have had the same problem.
ok all, if you have upgraded to 2.1.0 and getting any errors, find nd use NRT 2.0.5 and reinstall, DO NOT update the program, I’m flashing my n7, after trying for a couple hours last night. thought this may work, and it is, no errors and fulling flashed 5.1.1 so far
Will the backup option also back up my Android device ID? I want to unlock and root, but I need to preserve my device ID because of Play Music.
Arrrgh! 2.10 worked on a Nexus 6, one Nexus 7 and then pulled the Windows error reported for the last few years “Error: Array variable has incorrect number of subscripts….”
Need a link to roll back to 2.05. 2.06 was a complete abortion and doesn’t work for anyone that I can tell.
Question about busy box. Do I install it to system/xbin or su/bin. Previously before system less root it was xbin. But now busy box fills in su/bin for me. Is that correct?
I would also like to know what path should we use.Thanks.Wow.I replyed to a total stranger who happens to have the same name :))
You saved my gift to my son after some friend break it , now its new nexus 6 and he is very happy, all the best to your team, im in Jordan – Amman and I cant donate unfortunately due to restriction in my bank card, happy new year to all.
v6.0.1 Nexus 7 / (MMB29O) and many more out! Waiting for update 🙂
THX a million time, save my new Nexus 6 , that i just receive today, and that i probally softbrick … lol and Root it at the same time. I sent you a donation 😉
I’ve been using this superb tool ever since I’ve had my Nexus 5.
I tried to send you a donation but PayPal didn’t allow it because I live in Japan. Too bad!
I respect ya very much! Keep up the great work!
Thank you! Is there some other donation/pay service that most people in Japan use?
Sorry for the late reply! I think Google Wallet can do the trick. It’s certainly available in Japan– I can tell that because I made a donation to the Japanese Red Cross through it when that earthquake hit us 5 years ago.
I’ve got your latest update just now. Your work is awesome!!
Nexus 6 … This Build name is not there – “MMB29S”
i root my nexus5 ang then my nexus 5 is stuck in 4 dots. can this toolkit can fix my phone?
Can i use this tool kit to root my Nexus 4, using windows 10? if not, does anyone have the link? thank you in advance!
Yes you can.
Cool, I’m going to give it a go then. Thank you!
some people seem to have problems on windows 10. generally speaking though it should work. after all there is no harm in trying
OK, I’ll give it try! Thank you very much!
Yes, you can! I’ve rooted a Nexus 4 using Windows 10 and it works! 😀
I just got done rooting it. Yeah! It worked just fine for me! Thanks you!
Quick Question!!
I currently have a Nexus 5 which is rooted and running android version 4.4.4 build KTU84Petio
I want to update it to 6.01 marshmallow.
My question is, can I use the flash Stock/Unroot tool from 4.4.4 to get to 6.01
OR
Do I need to flash the 4.4.4 stock rom first before updating to 6.01
OR
is it possible to just update it to 6.01 from 4.4.4 and not loose root access?
Much love and thank you for your help!

short: yes, no, no. long: don’t forget to backup all your important data. consider not using the ‘no wipe’ mode, since an upadte of that scale can bring some incompatability issues. you can simply re-root after the update.
Any plans for a Linux Debian release? Will this work in WINE?
I’d love a Debian release
Trying to use NRT to flash CM to my Nexus 6. Continue to get an error that says “Dependency Not Available” and that a modified boot image is not available. Using Advanced Utilities >> Flash Rom. . .what to do?
N7/2013 , NRT v2.1.1 : Stuck in “Retrying [Attempt #1 of 5]: fastboot getvar unlocked”. Prev versions working fine. Any solution?
Same problem here.
Same
it was fixed in new update
I just went straight to google and flashed factory 6.0.1 the long way.
Works flawlessly BTW. ATT has no excuse.
Thanks
Nexus 5, NRT 2.1.1: Update to MMB29S was successfull but rooting ended in a bootloop.
Make sure its using the BETA supersu.
so when ever a new SuperSU beta or version comes out we have to download ourselves correct?
Trying to root Nexus 9 Wifi with 2.1.1. I get all the way to TWRP but it fails to load SuperSU.
Update: It worked when I downloaded SuperSU myself and put it into the root directory of the N9’s internal storage. I think that maybe automating the process or not using a modified boot image might have caused it to miss an important step on the N9. So it’s all working now. On a positive note, I no longer see the yellow warning message on boot about not being able to check for corruption. (MMB29S)
Next I tried it on my 5X. I put the SuperSU zip onto the device’s internal storage just in case, but I don’t think that was necessary this time. The process worked without error. However, I do still see the yellow warning about not being able to check for corruption. Not a big deal though. (MMB29P)
Everything seems to be working for me, thanks for another awesome release!
I should add this to an info box – but the yellow warning you are describing is entirely normal (and unavoidable) behavior for an unlocked nexus 5X/6P device – this is just a security warning google decided to integrate.
Yeah the yellow one doesn’t bother me. But oddly enough (as of this morning on 2.1.3), when I Flash Stock + Unroot (no wipe mode) my N9, I get the red warning at boot, and SuperSU is still installed (and I did not install it from the Play Store). It’s unable to run since I no longer have root, but it’s there. Previously Flash Stock + Unroot would boot with no warning, and SuperSU was gone.
I rooted the N9 again with 2.1.3 to see if I’d have a better experience than my OP, but I still got the same error. It looks like root files are getting pushed to the device while I’m still entering my password into TWRP. Then when it’s time to install SuperSU, it can’t find the file. It bumps me out to the TWRP home screen, and then I choose the reboot option. It prompts me to install SU before rebooting, which I decline.
So then I boot back to Android, drop SuperSU 2.66 into the root directory of my N9, and go through the process again. Same as my 2nd post above, it worked that way. However, I’m no longer able to delete the !ReadyToFlash folder on my N9.
NRT hasn’t pushed the zip for SuperSU to my Nexus 6 in ages, either. I just preload it manually onto the internal storage, then apply it from TWRP.
This was a first for me. It has always worked for my N5, N9, and N5X until now. Can’t confirm either way on the N5 right now, since I sold it when I got the 5X.
. Thank you.Worked perfect updating to MMB29S and rooting on my Nexus 9.
Im trying to root my nexus 7 running android 6.0.1 everything is alright but when it boots into recovery there are no files anywhere, no possible to mount anything, just nothing all folders are empty. Does anyone else have this problem?
Hitting unlock on 2.1.1 Nexus 6 it says test encrypted, and does nothing else. Ideas?
I’m having the same problem. Not sure what to do.
retry with 2.1.3
When flashing/rooting my Nexus 6, my NRT settings are set to use the beta SU and also to install busybox. It never installed busybox. Once I flash root, my phone booted up. Upon another reboot, I got stuck at the Google logo and had to flash again and wipe my phone.
When you go to apply the zip files you selected you need to say “no” when TWRP warns you your phone isn’t rooted and asks if you want it to apply root.
On Nexus 6P after rooting it gets to the boot animation and then just stops. It never does finish booting. Left it for 45 minutes, then powered off and tried to boot again and get the same thing, shows the boot animation and goes no further.
Are you sure you are using the BETA supersu – check the toolkit options.
I think you found it. It worked perfect on my Nexus 9 but I believe I went into options and checked to install SuperSU pro. I will reflash the latest ROM and then try to root it again and let you know but what you are saying makes sense. Thank you so much.
That did it, Thanks again.
fastboot getvar unlocked? what this, as I was trying to upgrade to 6.01, I cannot even test the driver guide as it will not unlock?
Yes – sorry, I am fixing this bug asap – should be out in 30-40min max.
The date on your changelog for the latest version is wrong, should be 2016 not 2015 🙂
Ha – thank you!
WugFresh, for the Nexus 7 2013 at least, there is no fastboot variable called “unlocked”. When I do “fastboot getvar all” I see a variable called “lock_state” with a value of “unlocked”. I believe you need to update your toolkit to take this into account.
Yup, v2.1.2 is now out with a fix.
When i try flashing a ROM or backing up on my nexus 7 (2013), there is a error dialog box saying “rety Fastboot getvar operation” and so, i use the original USB cable and my ports are OK. Can i tell me why?
Thanks for your work on these great toolkits.
I just used to NRT to root my N5 a few days ago, and now I’m prompted with a monthly update for my phone which I can’t apply as I’m rooted. What’s the best way to apply these monthly updates now?
Actually with the systemless root, you should technically be able to take the OTA successfully (make a backup first), and then you will just re-root afterwards. The previous NRT release (2.1.0) still made some system modifications if you had it flash custom recovery, so you may want to re-flash stock and then re-root with this latest NRT release v2.1.2 – then, moving forward you can try just taking the OTA regularly and then using NRT to re-root afterwards.
Or alternatively, you can use NRT’s “Flash Stock + Unroot” button then tick “no wipe mode” to upgrade your device to the latest android release without wiping your userdata (then root afterwards).
Thanks for the fast response!
I did use 2.1.0 to flash root, and tried to apply the security update which failed. But I’ll update the NRT as you say and reflash stock and re-root and try again. Would be amazing to get those OTA while rooted.
I’ll post my experience. Keep up the great work man.
Re-flashed stock & unroot with no wipe which worked great. I then rooted and I was all up to date and everything’s fine. I guess I can’t test the OTA until next month, but I’ll try to remember to post when I do.
Hey, well I tried this months security update OTA and just got the android logo and a message saying error. I am not using a custom recovery so I’m not sure why it wouldn’t work.
Recently I soft bricked my Nexus 6P by messing with kernels too much, I fixed that, completely restored it to factory default. However now when I try to Unlock the bootloader I always get weird error messages (and yes I made sure I went through the full manual driver setup process and adb and fastboot all checked out) like “adb server outdated” or “encrypted” or ever just a blank small window labeled “test”. What’s wrong? (Build number 6.0.1 MMB29P by the way.)
Thank you for info. Not sure how I missed this, give me 20 min, another version will be out.
No problem, and thanks!
I have Nexus 6P, hope it’s supported. I’ve read to unlock bootloader a full system swipe is required but I have more than 95 apps installed and I don’t wish to download them again can I create backup and restore all apps as they were before the root?
Yeah,you can do that by using apk extractor or xender .
Apk extractor will create apk’s for all your installed apps.
By using Xender u can send all the apps to another phone and than take them back after root from that phone.
also you can create a Android Backup File or a Nandroid backup file both are included in the Toolkit. Personally I use APKExtractor because its much faster than the back ups and in some cases more reliable.
Hallo.
I would like to suggest a new feature.
As many of us (that have a rooted device) install also Xposed, why don’t you add this fetature in your tool (to install/remove Xposed Framework) ?
probably needs support from Rovo89 or the Xposed Devs
Hi Wug. Thanks for fixing the getvar unlocked problem.
Now my Nexus 7 2013 WiFi was able to flash stock, and afterwards successfully re-rooted.
There was one hiccup – while flashing stock NRT reported that writing of system had failed, although it had actually completed successfully.
Following was displayed:
erasing ‘system’…
OKAY [ 0.184s]
sending ‘system’ (843393 KB)…

writing ‘system’…
FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))
finished. total time: 46.825s
FAILED (command write failed (No such device or address))
rebooting…
You should repeat the process with an alternate USB port. The errors your received indicate a bad connection.
I just tested with Nexus 7 2013 32GB with version 2.1.3, flash was successful but after re-root I ended up in boot loop. After re-flashing I have at least working updated device but without root 🙁

Hi !
I’ve been looking for a way to root my phone for a while now and I ended up findind this.
Please, can you tell me : does it work on a Nexus 4 running 5.1 ?
Thanks !
it works on the Nexus 4 Running any version of android that is officially put out by google, rooted phones work as well.
Oh thanks !
And, I don’t mean to bother you but I’ve red some comments talking about bricked phones.
If it doesn’t go well, will it brick my phone ?
it shouldnt, i did it many times on my nexus 4 until i accidentally deleted my OS in TWRP and bricked it. but NRT had nothing to do with the bricking. NRT uses direct factory images from Google so it is safe.
I rooted my Nexus 7 (2013) maybe a week ago and now there’s a 2016 update available.
How would I go about updating without losing root?
from Wugfresh: “Actually with the systemless root, you should technically be able to take the OTA successfully (make a backup first), and then you will just re-root afterwards. The previous NRT release (2.1.0) still made some system modifications if you had it flash custom recovery, so you may want to re-flash stock and then re-root with this latest NRT release v2.1.2 – then, moving forward you can try just taking the OTA regularly and then using NRT to re-root afterwards.
Or alternatively, you can use NRT’s “Flash Stock + Unroot” button then tick “no wipe mode” to upgrade your device to the latest android release without wiping your userdata (then root afterwards).”
Ok, I just used NRT 2.1.3 to root my Nexus 6 MMB29S to try systemless root, AdAway, cflumen and Android Pay. Android Pay fails at checkout. No big deal, I’ll just unroot. Reverted AdAway to original hosts, removed AdAway and cflumen.
I then used Flash Stock + Unroot with NoWipe mode and everything appears to run successfully. However, I get the “Your device is corrupted” error at boot. I’ve tried running the flash stock + unroot a couple more times and use the advanced utilities to flash the kernel, recovery, and system individually but with the same result.
Anything I’m missing? And can I get back to clean booting N6 with working Android Pay without doing a full wipe?
you are most likely going to need to do a full wipe because there could still be root files in your phone (even if it systemless idk) but id say you need to wipe data. if you can just backup everything and put it all back its not that hard.
Oddly I was able to Flash Stock + Unroot to MMB29K without wiping data and everything was fine. I then just took the OTA.
Thanks for this awesome toolkit, very nice! I finally rooted my Nexus 10 tablet and installed Marshmallow [AICP]. Can you add build “[B]LNY48Z[/B]” to the presets? Thanks!
if that is the most recent build it will be uploaded shortly
Added now, update to latest masterlists.
trying to root nexus5 with v.2.1.4 … error message: ADB recovery device was not found
with former versions(v.2.1.0) just worked fine
reinstalled the windows drivers, it’s working now
Nice.
trying to root nexus5 with v.2.1.4…error message: ADB recovery device was not found
just worked fine with former versions(v.2.1.0)
Look at the message it gives you there – and try its suggestions. The older NRT version did not use ADB recovery mode, but this will be the standard moving forward.
@wugfresh:disqus Can you add Custom ROM – M (Marshmallow) for Nexus 4 and 5, Galaxy
Nexus, Nexus S option for the Selection of Android Build? New ROMs
supporting those devices is on XDA.
Yes, sure – I will do this tmrw night.
All “Custom ROM” entries are now removed – as it is not needed with this newer version of NRT. Just use “Any Build” mode.
Cool.
Hello, I can not open the toolkit. I am on Vista. Device is a nexus 5. When I double click the exe it does not open. I tried right clicking and to run as administrator but that did not open it either. please help!
try uninstall and reinstall. if that does not work go to Properties and try compatibility mode
Hi, I cannot open the toolkit.
I’m on Vista and the device is a nexus 5.
I double clicked and nothing happened.
I tried right clicking and to run as administrator, but that didn’t work.
Nexus 5, all OK using v2.1.4. I had same problem with root as with Nexus 7 2013, ADB recovery not found, just open Device Manager and uninstall (and install again) the Android Device / …ADB…. It may NOT be marked with yellow triangle at all! THANKS A LOT!
I am confused, so just uninstall and reinstall drivers fixed it for you?
Yes, and I had to do it with Nexus 7 and then same thing for Nexus 5. After I clicked Uninstall I just let windows to install driver automatically (by clicking ‘Search for hardware changes’) and it helped.
i tried servel times, still doesn’t work
it doesn’t work
There’s a note back in the 2.1.1 changelog that NRT has adopted the Chainfire systemless root method. Does this actually mean that, using NRT 2.1.1 and later, we can successfully accept the prompted OTA updates when they appear on our phones and simply re-root the phone afterwards?
Yes, assuming you don’t run any root apps which make explicit system modifications (such as build.prop tweaks) – then you should be able to exactly that.
Excellent news! Will have to wait until next month’s OTA, do a backup, and see how it goes.
Can this toolkit help me upgrade to the January 2016 security patch without losing root?
You can flash it and then root again
Download link isn’t working for me. Do you have any mirror links?
There is a collapsible menu called “Trusted Mirrors” in the download section which has mirrors to chose from.
Download link isn’t working for me, do you have any mirror links but on a different website?
Wug is it passable to gat a modded boot to remove or change the boot warning on the Nexus 6p
That boot warning is actually built into the bootloader, and as of now, can’t/hasn’t been modded.
OK cool. Just wanteto ask thank and love your work keep it up.
Error – ADB Recovery Device not found.In Device Manager there is no yellow exclamation point, so what do I do? Also, if in DM I go on android device and browse there, I do not get the same menus as described. Can anyone help?
I am using a nexus 5 on android 6.0.1
Try unplugging and replugging at this stage, also alternate usb ports. You can even try reinstalling drivers.
I think you might need to force the system to update the ADB driver? or at least change the text to inform the user that there might not necessarily be an error exclamation over the icon and just offer to reinstall the driver at that point. I had this issue, went to step 3, updated and that fixed it like the other users below. I didn’t have any errors with the driver. Strangely the version hasn’t changed either, perhaps it was just something to do with the set up.
Thanks for info. Thats a good suggestion.
And also to get around the error below can I flash zips without rooting? I.E I’ve unlocked so can I just flash cm13 now or not?
Once unlocked, yes – you can use a custom recovery to flash zips. In advanced utilities there is a button for booting into custom recovery temporarily, which you can use – or you can flash it via the “fastboot flash > recovery” button.
Nexus 7 2013 WIFI stuck after update. Tried to unlock but freezes after I press YES with power button. Any suggestions are appreciated
When you get the unlock bootloader screen, try first unplugging your USB before pressing the YES with power button. Alternatively try leaving the USB in but using an alternate port.
Nexus 7 2013 bricked after update. Tried to unlock but freezes after I push YES with power button. Any suggestions?
Just wanted to say THANKS! Nexus 7 came back to live 🙂
Your welcome! 🙂 Happy to hear that.
Trying to root my Nexus 5x with your software. Ran into a problem i can’t find a fix for online. Unlock worked fine, all drivers were successfully installed. Problem is when i try to root it. When it reboots my device and attempt to boot into recovery, i get to a “no command” screen on my phone and toolkit tells me my drivers need updating. Any help or idea would be great.
have already tried, you know, updating your drivers?
You sure you unlocked successfully? It should boot into TWRP, rather than a screen that says no command. The no command screen makes me think it didn’t boot the TWRP img successfully – maybe you need to try an alternate usb port.
I have my Nexus 7 (2013) rooted with NetHunter, however it will not “see” the USB wi-fi adapter I have plugged in via an OTG cable. It is the TP Link TL-WN722N adapter so I believe it should be working. What needs to be done to get the USB adapter working?
i don’t know what you are trying to accomplish with that otg setup, but it sounds intruiging. i do however own that very same wifi adapter. i don’t know how the situation with linux/android is, or how android manages drivers in general, but i do know that the driver situation for this particular adapter is terrible when it comes to windows. unreliable, unstable and way behind with releases.
as for android OTG in my experience, it’s either plug’n’play or you’re most likely out of luck.
I can not download dependencies files automatically (it said can not access server), so where can I download the files directly?thanks
i just wanted to say thank you, i was suffering on 4.1.2 with a nexus that wouldnt upgrade and also was stuck in a nfc service loop rendering the device unusuable. I now have a working device thats currently upgrading and ticking along very nicely.
thank you so much for all your time and effort into going into this project
Does the root feature work with MMB29S on the Nexus 6? Every time I run the root feature, when it’s finished, the phone will not boot. I get the screen with your phone is running corrupt software press power to pause boot and that is as far as it gets. Am I missing something?
exactly the same happens to me
Seeing the same with MMB29Q. Any resolution?
Are you sure you are using SuperSU beta (check the tookit options) – this is needed.
Thanks Wug. This worked, but tethering doesn’t work yet on the latest version? When I add net.tethering.noprovisioning=true to the build.prop file, after I save it the build.prop goes blank.
Have you tried editing in TWRP and see if this works?
adb shell mount /system
adb shell
echo “net.tethering.noprovisioning=true” >> /system/build.prop
Nexus 7 / 2013 v6.0.1 (MMB29Q) and more february update is out, waiting for masterlist update 🙂
Updated.
Thank you brother. 😀
Thanks!!! And everything working fine, of course 🙂
hello i would like to know if the root is systemless
Are there known issues with the encryption after rooting a Nexus5? I’ll get in a ‘looping’ bootscreen after activating encryption. Waited over 3 hours. After a new bootup, it appears to be normal but without encryption.
Same happened with me. Won’t encrypt, have to hard reset.
Does NRT 2.14 support 6.0.1 (MMB29Q) on Nexus5?
I tried to install the OTA update with the February security patch level with systemless root on Android 6.0.1 MMB29S on my Nexus 9 but it comes up with error 7 on twrp. Can someone help me please to fix this?
Thank you
Same to me in Nexus 5 ?!! 🙁
Nexus 7 Wifi 2013, 6.0.1 / MMB29Q, Device encryption enabled: Rooting with NRT 2.1.4 ended up in a bootloop. With NRT 2.1.3 no problems at all…
Are you saying that you successfully rooted a Nexus 7 2013 WiFi MMB29Q using NRT 2.1.3? Or are you simply saying that you did not have trouble rooting previous builds with NRT 2.1.3?
After updating my Nexus Player to MMB29U and rooting using NRT 2.1.4 the USB port of the Nexus Player does not work after a full boot into Android. The only way that I can get the USB port to be recognized is by booting the NP into bootloader mode. In bootloader mode my Windows computer Device Manager recognizes the NP as an Android Device->Android Bootloader Interface. From this mode I have re-flashed MMB29U and also gone back to MMB29T and rebooted the NP, but once Android boots the USB port does not work. Before the update when I connected my USB Hub to the NP after it booted, the LED of the USB Hub would come on… now it doesn’t. I suspect there’s an issue with the USB driver. I have flashed in full wipe mode and have factory reset the NP several times. Any idea as to what might be causing this issue?
hey, im new at this but, frustrated. i had a samsung galaxy s3 that was a sph-L710. it got to the point that the on and off switchwas getting weak and the charging and usb plug disintegrated completely. i hooked up wireless charging however ive only got limited access to the computer and my phone was always hooked to the computer for music and i also did a lot of learning file systems. im very good on this phone after having to re odin it about 15 times. now, my new s3 is an sph-L710T. the only thing that i can see that the t applies to is the bootloader which is locked harder than i have been able to crack. can anyone help me with this problem before i take this phone vback.its a great phone but i wang to get rid of some never used apps and files.
Nexus 7 2013 Mobile, flash stock from MMB29O to MMB29Q. Flash w/No Wipe worked fine and boots normally. Rooted, and stuck at “Starting apps.” Reflashed to MMB29Q w/No Wipe and boots fine. Tried root again and stuck at “Starting apps.” Any ideas?
Are we getting TWRP 3 support? 😛
It’s there now. Update File dependencies, etc. Any update on rooting Nexus 6P with MMB29Q? Wugfresh detects it, but given others’ troubles, I’m hesitant to try.
After flash stock + unroot my nexus 5 boots to green android with red exclamation. What do I do?
Any way to use Android Pay with root enabled?
google just recently patched AP to even detect systemless root. the onlyway i know of atm is to go into superSU and disable root manually while AP is in use
Not so – it’s still possible to get it working without having to disable sSU — see my post above
I can confirm Scotty York’s finding. I’m using the current March patch level Nexus 6P with systemless root. I use Root Browser to change permission on /su/bin to 751 and remove the /su/xbin_bind symbolic link. I pay for my lunch using Android Pay.
Google has been patching to make this more & more difficult, and after installing MMB29Q + systemless root 2.67, I lost Android Pay. HOWEVER, if you do 3 things, it’ll work again (at least, it did for me, on Nexus 6). You’ll need a decent file explorer app (I use Total Commander for Android – give it root permission).
Open TC, go to “File system root”. You’ll see a folder called su. Open that folder and do these two things.
(1) delete the folder xbin_bind
(2) long-press on the “bin” folder to open a popup. On the popup, tap properties. On the next popup, tap RWX (you’re going to change the folder permissions). At the bottom-left, it’ll show 755. Change that to 751, and tap Apply.
Now (3) reboot. That should be you rooted, with Android Pay working.
After running the update it didn’t unroot the phone. The xu binary file isn’t there. Did I do something wrong? I pressed FlashStock + Unroot and everything worked fine. Nexus 5 from 4.4 to 6.0.1.
I just updated from 4.4.x to 6.0.1
Somehow my phone is now not un-rooted anymore. It says the xu binary is missing. Shall I redo the update or will it not un-root anymore at all due to the new android? btw is paypal the only method to pay (donation)?
Hi, is it the root work for latest build 6.0.1 (MMB29Q) nexus 7 2013 WIFI???
Try nexus pure it already has SU.
I mean the original rom. the root now works?
YES CF AUTO ROOT!!
It does _not_ work for me. Each attempt now to re-root the device results in a boot-loop.
Each time, I am able to use NRT to unroot, but re-rooting again results in a boot-loop.
Need support for Nexus 5’s 6.0.1 (MMB29Q). Thanks!
What is the root method NRT is using? Systemless? or traditional root?
Hey Wug, could you make NRT use the system’s default browser to launch links (changelog, guides, threads) rather than launching IE? Cheers.
I run Android 6.01 on a 32 GB Nexus 7 2013 WiFi. After using NRT to unroot, I successfully installed the February update to MMB29Q, but each attempt now to re-root the device results in a boot-loop. Each time, I am able to use NRT to unroot, but re-rooting again results in a boot-loop.
While I was flashing stock + unroot my nexus 5 turned down and now it doesn’t turn on anymore… I’m not able to do anything with the phone because the computer doesn’t recognize it and doesn’t turn on.
Is there a solution to this problem?
My experience finally do root on MMB29Q: First flash and unroot Nexus 5 all OK. Trying to root and custom recovery doesn’t work but I finally could do it. Manually reboot Nexus to bootloader mode, then try to do the procedure. Temporary TWRP and push files correctly but fails the rooting procedure, so device boots without root. Then I go to Advanced Utilities and do a Temporary Custom Recovery (I put device on bootloader mode first manually), and go to Install, search the files on “Ready to Flash” and select SuperSU 2.67, perm recovery and busybox that before has been pushed, flash all three and reboot. All works and device is rooted correctly.
+1, thanks!
is this systemless root
is the root systemless
Rooting no longer works for Nexus5 MMB29Q. I can do it manually, but then what’s the point of having this program? It seems it’s not flashing recovery correctly, so all the other steps fail as well (although the program doesn’t seem to pick up on that and just continues to the end).
Guys, can anyone share how can i swap the menu and back softkey?
I had the same problems with rooting my Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 that some others have: TWRP pushed the zips for SuperSU and busybox to the device but then failed to install them.
Finally I followed the steps of the ‘Full Driver Installation Guide’ in NRT to completely remove all Android/Nexus drivers from my PC and reinstall them. Then everything worked fine :-).
That did not work with my Nexus 7 2013 WiFi.
See my post above.
Thanks. Since I was less concerned to find exactly what was going wrong than just to get things working, I made a bunch of changes, and something in all that worked.
I did hit upon the same trick as did you (smuggling twrp-3.0.0.0.img as an older version). I don’t know why the Master File List hasn’t been brought truly up-to-date, as it was last up-dated after the release of twrp-3.0.0.0.img.
problem with Nexu 5x. when I try to unlock it using 2.1.4 everything is going right till the point were the script puts up the screen to make the phone display the Yes No option to unlock the phone all it does is make it reboot
tried it 4 times on 2.1.4 and not asking for some help thanks
I have a nexus 5x but I cant unlock the bootloader. in NRT 2.1.4 It get to the point of where it tells me to pick yes or no but just before it pops up NRT reboot the phone. so I tried in using the fastboot commands. I got the newest SDK files and I use the command fastboot oem unlock and I get error FAILED: (oem unlock is not allowed) so I tried the new command fastboot flashing unlock and still same error
please any help thanks
You may need to go into Developer Options, and turn on OME Unlock Option, prior to trying this tool.
When root Galaxy Nexus@Stock JWR66Y, reboot to TWRP then ADB find the divice, but toolkit can’t.
If you haven’t found a work-around here’s what I did for my N7 2013. Downloaded twrp-3.0.0.0.img, replaced the twrp-2.8.7.0.img in the “Program FilesWugFresh DevelopmentdataRecovery_CustomTWRP” with twrp-3.0.0.0.img. Be sure to rename it to twrp-2.8.7.0.img. Then do a root + customer recovery.
when I search and open the page,,ity shows “Posted on November 13, 2012 by WugFresh”,I don’t know if the version is the newest, so can change the “post time” to “update time” so every can know the version time clearly ??
I have a Nexus 5, with 6.0.1 (MMB29S) installed. When I try to update to 6.0.1 (MMB29Q) it goes through all the motions, but it never actually updates. When it reboots, it’s still at 6.0.1 (MMB29S). I’ve tried multiple times, and even once wiping the device. It just can’t get to 6.0.1 (MMB29Q), what can I do?
Systemless root supported?
TWRP 3.0 added?
What was once a painless operation, I am seemingly unable to backup an image or restore one. Ive done it many times over the past couple of years on n7 2012 3g devices. but im constantly getting checksum errors mismatch, adb push errors, etc. unlock, root, bootloop fix, etc all still work
Sigh, Using 2.1.4 on a nexus 5 (soft-bricked/bootloop). The ‘force flash mode’ still gives dialog box saying bootloader is locked.. of course we cant unlock the bootloader if the phone wont boot. can someone help?
when i try to install the toolkit,i am getting an error which says “nexus root toolkit.exe not found”. Any help please !!
So, I updated a Nexus 5 and a Nexus 10 to the latest. However, on both rooting failed. I got “ADB Recovery Device Not found”. No matter what I did I could not fix this. In the end I used Advanced Utilities… Custom Recovery. Once on TWRP I went through the regular procedure; Install; “Ready to Flash” and select SuperSU,
perm recovery and busybox; flash all and reboot. Got root successfully doing that on both devices. Just didn’t work using the NRT method.
i have a nexus 7 2012 that is in bootloop and when i try to (flash stock + unroot ) it says that the “ADB Device Not Found. what do i do ?
Anyone having problems, I used windows 10, but couldn’t get it to work until I went to a windows 7 laptop.
Dear Mr WugFresh. Your goal was to make this entire process as smooth and simple as possible…….you’ve failed.
Using NRT (v2.1.4) for the very first time (with my Nexus 4), everything was going smoothly up to a point. I did the necessary driver configuration, unlocked the bootloader, and then chose to root the device and at the same time flash the Custom Recovery (TWRP). That seemed to work successfully, but afterwards a window popped up telling me to Open SuperSU and then after that Open BusyBox Installer. Well, where is BusyBox? I don’t see that anywhere. Now I’m stuck.
Sometimes it happened to me to have to download manually Busybox from playstore.
Need help, nexus 6 rooted bootloader unlocked I was using the nrt and the advanced utility board and in where it says system I put a zip file twrp open recovery in that box, now my phone won’t come out of the load up screen that says google but if I put in bootloader mode I can make it go into twrp settings screen, I tried recovering it from the tool but says its not detecting adb fastboot any suggestions on how I can reverse this and get no phone back.
v6.0.1 (MMB29V) March updates are rolled out 😀 Waiting for masterlists update 😉
Why wait? Download it yourself from the main factory image site. Copy the MD5 hash. Then Use NRT to install it, pointing the program to the file you’ve just downloaded (you’ll be prompted to enter the hash). I did it yesterday on my Nexus 6, using no-wipe mode. Then rooted. Worked flawlessly. After doing the usual tricks, it’s now working with Android Pay…..
Waiting for the un-encrypted boot image.
I don’t know about @disqus_NW454SKO55:disqus, but I’ve had a lot of trouble in the past with the Root function in NRT failing (and often soft-bricking the device) if the version I was flashing via NRT wasn’t already in the available lists. Perfectly good reason to wait, imo, despite looking forward to the promised speed and camera fixes in MHC19I.
Yep, i think safer to wait few days 🙂
WAIT a minute. Did you just say that you managed it to have working root with working Android Pay? :O How??
The v build for March is bad. Switch to MHC19Q
@wugfresh:disqus Google rolls out security updates on the first Monday of each month.
MMB29V and other factory images are available.
The new N preview is out, shamu-npc56p-preview-54b13c67, I assume Nexus Root Toolkit not ready yet
Even the March Factory Images have not been updated in the tool kit.
Interesting – I will look into it. Typically devs will wait until official release before working on a root solution – but I may be able to support new preview builds in some capacity (like flashing it, etc).
Chainfire rooted it already! xD
I did on the Nexus root toolkit. I ended up flashing back way to many bugs for my liking.
The last activity of Wug Fresh was a month ago. I hope that he is fine.
🙂 Yes – fine. Just crazy busy. I will try to be more vigilant about updating the masterlists quicker.
You do not need to do anything. Remain fine. 🙂
Thanks, working fine, as always 😉 Nexus 7 (2013)
wug make a patch nrt shortcut once uninstalled is necessary remove it manually
Sadly, even though MHC19J is showing up in the lists now and flashed fine to my Nexus 5X, rooting via the “Root” button in NRT was still a failure.
It gets as far as booting temporarily into TWRP and then I get a request for a password, and when I can’t provide that (having no idea which password it could be) I get a “failed to decrypt” message informing me that I’m going to need to “format data” (I assume a wipe) in order to proceed. I’ve ended up just rebooting to get out of TWRP, but on boot I’m also now getting the red “corrupt” warning rather than the orange one from before, and I am not rooted. I’ve tried this twice without success. Really don’t want to regress to flashing custom kernels but running out of other ideas…
Further research suggests this is a (new?) issue due to the 5X’s encryption. I’ve tried removing all security and TWRP, as part of the automatic Root process, is still demanding a password that doesn’t exist (I’ve also tried “default_password” but no dice). Honestly not sure how to proceed. Various manual/auto/combo methods have all gotten me back to the same place: in TWRP being asked for a password that doesn’t exist. Getting very frustrated.
Unfortunately it looks like there are still problems with the Root command for the Nexus 5x, even though the lists have been updated. MHC19J flashed fine, but then I go to Root in NRT: I can get as far as booting into TWRP, but then it requests a password to decrypt, and of course I don’t have one. Unable to root. Really don’t want to use adb sideload but not sure what else to try…

If you use a pin to unlock your phone, or have the pin set up (which is mandatory with fingerprint scanning), then input the pin using the numerical section of the keyboard in the password section. Let me know if you’ve any more questions.
I use fingerprint unlock with a PIN backup, but TWRP doesn’t recognize it when entered. Even when I disable fingerprint in favour of PIN-only prior to attempting the root, it still doesn’t recognize the PIN.
Unless you’re saying that it matters that I use the ordinary keyboard’s number row rather than hitting the number/symbol key and using the 10-key there? I’m honestly not certain which I’ve been doing, though it’s probably the latter.
Anyone that cares, I figured out how to Encrypt the Nexus 5 (had issues with doing it) on MMB29V and previous version. It would hang on the boot screen until I force rebooted it. I had to flash my phone back to stock, enable encryption, encrypt phone. THEN root the phone. Prior I was rooting phone, then trying to encrypt (it would just hang for 10 hours). Hope the info helps others.
Just tried to root my Nexus 5 with new 2.1.4 version and it doesn’t do it completely. Basically I get no SuperSu, no BusyBox or TWRP installed even though it’s present in the phone’s memory and the program reported that it finished the process successfully .Root check says that the phone is not properly rooted.
That didn’t happen before and I’m quite surprised.
Had to unroot it and that feature still worked for me in this program.
Running the latest version of Android 6.0.1 build number MMB29V.
Any advice?
Same thing happened to me: I had to manually install 2.8.7, then flash the latest SuperSU and then the systemless mode kicked in and patched the boot image for me. I started of from 6.0.1 with January update installed.
can confirm, had to install twrp manually. now flashing SuperSU.
Boot into TWRP (you can boot into it without installing it, via NRT -> Advanced Utilities -> Custom Recovery) and install the !ReadyToFlash/*.zip files manually. (Make sure you only flash the ones that NRT put there this latest go-around – I can’t remember the names unfortunately….)
yes, thank you. this worked for me after many days of trying. thank you
NRT 2.1.4 can’t download twrp-3.0.0.0-fugu.img
Unable to download the 3.0.0.0 TWRP recovery for the Nexus Player via the update function of NRT 2.1.4 (Sorry if this is a duplicate post, but I can’t see my post on this issue from yesterday – Maybe it was lost on the way or or was deleted)
I can not install superuser with the toolkit, with Android 6.0.1 and Windows 10
you think it’s a problem with Windows 10?
same problem on my pc with W10 and nexus 5
Use SuperSu for Android 4.0 and above.
Does the software work in case of “Failed to mount /cache” errors? For me it fails when trying to unlock the bootloader. The device does ask “unlock bootloader” and I select Yes + press power, but nothing happens.
Did it work with latest update on Nexus 5x ? Im waiting for USB and SIM card to start rooting ! 😉
I wonder if we’ll see a new version of NRT sometime. A version that fixes the issues where BusyBox and SuperSU don’t get installed properly. There’s been no activity on this project for a long time.
It was last updated in January, it’s still being updated.
I cant thank you enough. This program is a lifesaver and has saved my bricked phone like 5 times. I rate 10/10
Need add for Google Pixel C please and thanks
If I’m on a custom rom (dirty Unicorn weekly build). do I have to goto a specific build of stock?
Quick question: now that I have rooted my Nexus 6P, OTA updates don’t work anymore. Is it possible to easily get these updates via NRT? How? I can’t find any option for that.
Million thanks!!!
Works like a charm :p
Model: Nexus 5X
Build: MHC19J
Thanks for everything!!!
Old build . current is MHC19Q
Well this root the Nexus 5
Will this root the Nexus 5 6.0.1
you make it so easy to customize my new 6P! I feel like a hacker but you do all the work and I just click a button. This toolkit is so awesome.
MHC19Q for 5x is not present…. Why?
The master list has not been updated yet.
How i can update my nexus 5x (rooted) to MHC19Q using toolkit?
All of us will have to waith for the master list to be updated. When it will be updated then you will see a message saying the same. After that your build will get listed in the tool kit. Then you can update your Nexus 5X.
As of the time of writing this post, the master list has not been updated yet.
Ok… Tanks!
Usually I use cyanogenmod and updates are differents, this is first time for me that I use NRT… but in this case for update I need to flash stok and unroot before? And after I can root again with new build… It’s correct?
Correct.
Do you kmow where I can found the update masterlist?
When the masterlist update will become available then your installation of the Nexus Root Tool Kit will automatically update itself.
MHC19Q for 5x is not present on nexus root toolkit…. Why?
Yeah. When will we see this build
how come my download status is always incomplete? i wanna update new stock rom but always came out with this error message.
then does nothing… 😐
Can i use this on nexus 5x h798 variant?
can’t root MMB29V, MMB29X, MMB29O and can’t flash recovery
Same thing here. The toolkit goes through the motions, but at the end of it all, nothing works. I can post a log of the toolkit if you need
well after several trial and error, it worked on MMB29V, nrt doesn’t have configuration for X or O yet, but it acted weird on V too, kept me showing some recovery driver is missing craps although i re installed drivers 4-5 times restarting and torturing my machine several times; do that rooting thing couple of times on V version and you’ll get it works; don’t care bout the systemless rooting shit, just wanted to root the mofo to get rid of android’s fuken ads…
I got it to work last night, I downloaded the latest MOB30D release instead of letting NRT pick the release. Flashed properly, and actually got the proper commands to TWRP to install root. If you don’t care about TWRP, you can likely unplug your phone with the temporarily loaded recovery and install the zips yourself.
1. MOBxxx is not hammerhead; nrt doesn’t have selection for versions beyond MMB29V
2. wanted to flash twrp manually through adb and i got the commands right, but nrt adb failed several times on manual attempts.
3. after several attempts , it worked on MMB29V and was only able to flash twrp through rooting, hope this version of super su let the OTA in
My Nexus 7 2012 is stuck in a boot loop. USB Debugging is not turned on, will that be a problem? I believe it is just a software malfunction and I think a factory reset will fix it.
I have the same bootloop-problem with my Galaxy Nexus. Does wugfresh’s backup-feature work for my not rooted device with USB-Debugging turned off and locked bootloader? Is there a possibility to backup my data (at least my sms)? Stucked in a bootloop I can’t turn on USB-Dubugging by using the normal phone settings. Is a turned on USB-Debugging necessary for wugfresh?
April updates are out 6.0.1 (MOB30D), and still waiting
for masterlists update.
Works great on 5X & 6P; Have used it over and over again without fail. Magical Stuff! “THANKS”
Did you not have a fastboot connectivity issue?
Not at all; but sometimes as the instructions say you might have to switch the USB connection on the PC you’re using and better off using an OEM chord. Once USB port is changed then it always connects. There is nothing that I’ve come across where this program fail’s on either the 6P or 5X.
sometimes, just have to reconnect alternate USB, or at worst restart Pc
Amazing toolkit, used it to root a Nexus 7 WiFi 2012 at the weekend, worked wonders! Just tried to Unlock and flash custom recovery to Nexus 7 2013, the unlock worked, but now I can’t load into recovery, I just get a dead android. Is this because I am running 6.0.1 (MOB30D)? Such an awesome programme, thank you!
hello, i tried to revert back to stock and when i click flash stock +unroot, and try to download the 6.0.1 MMB29V, it says hascheck mismatch and it aborts. when check in google site, its 6.0.1 (MOB30D) .my kit is uptodate
Root Nexus 5 (mmb29v) without Installing Custom Recovery It Worked For Me, It temporarily boot TWRP and Install ROOT,
then install Custom Recovery.
hi, what about MHC19Q on nexus 5x??
yeah that wouldnt be bad
Latest SuperSU BETA is v2.71
Latest SuperSU STABLE is v2.65
Sorry for the delay in updates, v2.1.5 is now out – will be faster moving forward.
Hmm, no Masterlists update yet?… WugFresh must be very busy.
I’m still waiting for MOB30D support on Nexus 6, at this rate, May’s update will be out before we get April’s update support
O Wug, Where Art Thou?
Sorry I have been slow these past few months, will be much better moving forward. NRT v2.1.5 is now out.
Alright!
New factory images are up since last week, any ETA on when are they are going to be available in the NRT?
Just tried to update/root to MHC19J again, now that it’s supposedly supported for root, but the update itself wouldn’t even go through. It said it was successful, but I just get a forever-stuck white Google logo. The only error I’m seeing during the flashstock.bat segment of the process is “FAILED (remote: buffer overreads occured due to invalid sparse header),” but I’m not sure what that actually means. Will probably try again in a few days just in case it’s the machine I was using, but very puzzled as the update, at least, worked fine the last try (it was only root that wasn’t working).
WugFresh isn’t fresh, he ist rotten.
No posts on twitter and no new version of NRT !!!
Sorry I have been a bit MIA – new version is out.
I hope you’ve donated a lot to be bitching like this.
Wow. Grow up. You didn’t pay for this software.
I’m definitely not complaining about the update frequency of software that is published based on donations (and I have gladly donated in the past and will continue to), but I was wondering if we could just get a status update on rooting the April security patches?
Sorry for the delays. Update now out with support for versions through May.
Thank you so much and no need to apologize. You provided free software that many of us could not use our devices without. You are awesome and very much appreciated! Now, everyone go donate!
I think WugFresh should make this a paid service/app – it is that good, should absolutely be a paid service without doubt. This way it would ensure prompt updates and it would put food on the table for WugFresh
cant DL anything getting mismatch over and over..trash
Newest version (2.1.4) does not support the Nexus 6P’s latest build (MHC19Q).
I’m afraid that we can no longer expect the next update … Never before WugFresh not told us to wait so long 🙁
yeah, worried. This solved so many annoying issues for me with preventing forced encryption and still getting monthly security updates installed before the OTA’s even arrive…Used to mess with this manually and was tired of it, this has been great for the past few months.
Now sitting with an OTA prompt on my Nexus 6 for April’s for weeks, but don’t want to do it if I can flash without encryption through NRT. Was sitting on the donate button if Pixel C support arrived, too. Appreciate the the help since Feb…and would gladly pay a monthly fee for these services…would also have zero problem with delays as long as people are informed as to why…but the ‘all quiet’ approach is way too OEM’ish for my tastes.
With that said, I hope the dude is ok. It’s true that this is uncommon.
Sorry for all the delays, and lack of communication. These past few months have just been incredibly busy despite my best efforts to set aside dev time. I forced myself to sit down and really grind it out bender style, and now 2.15 is finally released! I wanted to get it out asap, so I am waiting to finalize pixcel C support for the next release – which I will tackle this upcoming weekend. I spent a great deal of time automating more things on my end, so I should be much faster with future updates.
After re-reading my post from yesterday; I didn’t mean for that to come across as so bitchy haha. Apologies, regardless that I made it literally hours before 2.1.5 popped up.
Thank you very much, and I’m very happy that you’re still at it. Can’t wait for the pixel C support as well
It’s all good, I didn’t think you were. Looking forward to continuing to update this, including new features and extended device support.
I am sorry, but this project is far from dead. I just got swamped these past few months. I won’t let it stall like this again. v2.1.5 is out.
Great job, Wug, thanks again
Thank you very much WugFresh. I allowed myself to send you a little bit of my gratitude.
Hi, Wug. Not sure if posting this in right place..
For a long time my build numbers haven’t been listed in your toolkit, and i don’t know which to pick instead; right now my 6p (cm13-n) is MOB30J..
(automatic detect is failing for me)
Don’t know if picking the right match is closer to arbitrary, or closer to CRUCIAL.
Lost, please help!
This application is nothing short of impressive.
Updated/rooted MOB30J (N7/2013), thanks again WugFresh! 😉
Flashed & rooted Nexus 5X to MTC19T using automatic method. Still a little thrown by TWRP having to load twice and having to enter password twice (though at least now it’s taking the password!), and got v. worried when it made me enter the Start Android password twice, but in the end all was well. Thanks, Wug!
WugFresh, first of all many thanks for the update.. A couple things… 1. the Options menu in 2.15 is not closing for me on Windows 10. I have to use task manager to force close NRT. 2. Could you add an option so that one can select to use the current “stable” or latest “beta” release of SuperSU. There are some apps that have not yet been updated to handle the latest beta releases of SuperSU.
Flash & Root – – Google Pixel C
My PixelC should be arriving today or tmrw, I will get it sorted asap.
Can you add support to android one devices too
hi
First tanks for you toolkit
I’m trying to root ma Nexus 9 wifi with encryption
but i can’t install twrp.
I could temoraly boot on
then i’ve got a screen whith open recovery scrip
and nothing
Hello, I think I found a bug. In the Advanced Utlities section, When using the “Flash Zip…” option with the “File is on this computer option”, in the ensuing dialog I added my zip to the list. I then hit the “Confirm Operation…” button, but got cold feet and hit Cancel on the next dialog. It acted as though I hit confirm though and continued forward and (thankfully) successfully flashed anyways. I am 90% sure I hit cancel there but… I am not going to try to repro my steps 🙂
Just wanted to post back and say that this is indeed a bug. I testing it out when flashing some other items and confirmed the repro steps.
I will look into it, thank you for info.
Just following up with you – thank you for identifying this. It is now fixed in my private dev build, will be fixed publicly in v2.1.6 soon.
SuperSU 2.72 beta released.
hey cant restore to stock firmware. i have a nexus 5x MHC19Q. Says hashcheck: missmatch. please help.
A lot smaller package than the full-blown Android Studio….does all the things needed to root, unlock, and factory restore any Nexus device. This is what Google should have come up with for DIY hobbyists that aren’t programmers!
Thank you!
thanks a lot. It works perfect for my LG Nexus 5 D821(e) 16Gb model.
Have any idea if you can root Android N as of yet? Or will this not be done til the full N comes out for everyone?
I am nearly ready to release a version that does. Within the next few days. So far all of my testing has been successful.
During rooting I get a notification stating that there was no adb device found. I’ve followed every single step to uninstall and then reinstall the necessary drivers. No matter what I do, the root process get interrupted with the same notification. FYI, on previous builds, I’ve rooted and uprooted with no issues. I’m frustrated because I love your toolkit!
Nexus 9 – Formatting is not supported for filesystem with type ‘f2fs’ – after N-Beta removal.
Hi, In removing Beta N from my Nexus 9 using NRT (which has worked flawlessly everything b4) I am unable to Flash Stock + Unroot.
The process goes through un hindered until I get ..
Formatting is not supported for filesystem with type ‘f2fs’
On Reboot I am stuck at the Google Screen and nothing happens!
Either I or the solution to this is “Simple” I am sure.
I appear to have full control over the N9, I can access TWRP I can wipe and format partitions …etc.
Just can’t get the N9 to accept a stock ROM after the Beta N trail (which was becoming unusable anyway)
Please help..
Thank you for information about this, I will fix asap in the next release which is nearly complete and fully supports N. As a quick fix – in the flashstock.bat file, just edit the line under: “::Post-Flash Format Userdata” that says ‘fastboot format userdata’ and change it to ‘fastboot erase userdata’ Then try again.
My 2012 N7 has been bricked for a while now, nothing has been successful to get it back to a functional state. I think the board isn’t good anymore so I actually just ordered one as the final attempt at recovering it. Does anyone know how I will be able to reinstall the os as I think it wont have any os on it? Will I be able to use the toolkit for such thing? Thanks in advance.
If you can get into the bootloader. IE boot into fastboot mode, then you can use “Flash Stock + Unroot” to install the OS. Simply use “Flash Stock + Unroot” with “Soft brick” mode, and it will walk you through how to manually boot into bootloader mode and automate flashing the OS. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any problems. Cheers.
Hi, I tried this root toolkit on my nexus10 but the green, blue,yellow and red dots are cycling endlessly. It don’t proceed getting stuck. How can I fix this? Please help!
Can you provide some more details, what were you doing exactly.
Hi, Mr. WugFresh
After that I tried the option Flash Stock+Unroot and I succeeded to reach the set up, then it ask me to connect with wifi. I enter my PW to connect to my WIMAX router but I couldn’t connect to the router. Someone wrote that it can be done by connect to free wifi. I did it but getting stuck at ” checking connection”. Do you how to through this?
Hey Wug long time, so i was trying to flash stock + unroot on my friends phone but the driver configuration guide isnt working for fastboot… Its a Galaxy Nexus GSM… adb devices show the phone but fastboot devices is blank. In device manager, when phone is on, it shows “Android adb interface” but when phone is in bootloader, it shows “Android 1.0” under Other devices. Pls help just like you always have. Thx in advance…
*NRT will not open when I click on it* For some reason–and I have downloaded it twice–the toolkit will not open. It does a quick load-animation, but then it goes away and nothing ever happens. I am running Windows Vista–yeah, I know…stop it!. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I ALWAY root my phones, and I love the Nexus, but this is killing me! FYI, I am using a Moto Nexus 6
AAAAAND a couple minutes later, I figured it out! QUICK TIP: DO THIS ON GOOD SLEEP *does crazy laugh* . Right clicked and had to go to properties and ‘unblock’ because it “came from an outside source”….NICE!
Hi, any chance you have this particular software in Mac?
Sorry. Checked your FAQ. And you didn’t have that. No issues.
I’m stuck on the ‘unlock bootloader’ section… It wont select ‘yes’ Any help?
Are you using the volume keys to highlight and the power button to select? Its not done via touch screen.
Yes. selecting ‘no’ with the power key works fine but nothing happens when i select ‘yes’
You may want to try disconnecting the USB plug first when you get to this stage before selecting, also try factory resetting your device first (wipes data) from stock recovery – via these instructions (OPTION #2): https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/4596836?hl=en
Then try unlocking again.
v6.0.1 (MOB30M) builds are out!
Thank you, working on it.
Any idea when we can be expecting these? Not rushing just having issues with my phone not being updated for a few months. Thanks!
Everything is now updated in v2.1.6
Thank you again! 😉
My build number for my Nexus 6p is nowhere to be found on the list of builds (MMB29U, running 6.0.1). Would it be safe to select one of the other builds or am I missing something?
bootloop in nexus 6. factory recovery says no command. what can i do? thanks!
Any progress with your nexus 6? What image did you attempt to flash?
pixel c?
Pixel C now fully supported in v2.1.6
I’ve rooted my stock Nexus 6 through NRT (entirely stock, except for root) and was wondering if this method is leaving me with a modified system/ even though the systemless is supposed to leave it untouched..? As i understand it should modify the bootloader only, but not touch system..?
The reason i’m asking is that normally flashing the stock boot partition should allow me to apply the OTA.update.. but it doesn’t, so i’m wondering if NRT might have made some changes to system/..
Chainfire has an app ‘FlashFire’ which enables on device firmware flashing if you are rooted.. Now the best part is it has a feature where if it detects an OTA update downloaded by the OS it automatically generates the instructions needed to restore boot/, apply the OTA update and restore root afterwards… only thing left to do is reboot and you have the update applied and root restored.
Thing is on my Nexus, which I rooted through NRT, applying the OTA update fails due to changes made to system/ … and except for rooting to be able to use some root only apps I ‘ve never really done any tinkering with it.
I unlocked my Nexus 7 2013. When I run the root script it stops and says “ADB recovery device was not found. The troubleshooting says to go into Device Manager and find yellow exclamation point. There is not an unconfigured device listed. I have an Android device with Google Nexus ADB Interface at top of screen, but it shows that it is working properly. I reran the test and it came back the same way. Please Help!
Since upgrading to 2.1.6 I am getting the following error message whenever I attempt to change the version of the firmware to use.
Line 18980 (File C:Program Files (x86)WugFresh Developmentnexus Root ToolkitNexusRootToolkit.exe”): Error: Subscript used on non-accessible variable.
Strange.
Try reinstalling NRT
That fixed it. Thanks.
for some reason, my first attemp to root failed.
It went thru the motion of rooting as if it was successful but it was not when I checked. I looked at the live log and it seems the SU and BusyBox wasn’t pushed to the device due to a checksum error.
I tried rooting again after a few minutes and everything was fine, it rooted properly.
weird
Since upgrading to 2.1.6 and after clean full reinstallation I have problem with ADB and popular error of absent Wsapoll function in ws2_32.dll that is unsupported for WinXP. Reverted to version 2.1.5 – no problems.
Thank you for information, will investigate
Same here, get the same error with this version.
Same problem. Had to downgrade to v2.1.5
Thank you for info, I will be pushing out v2.1.7 this weekend with a fix.
Wug, change log version number needs fixing.
Thank you for notice. Fixed
I’m currently on Android N Preview 3 (NPD35K) on the Nexus Player (fugu), just as I was about to root it, NRT prompted to update twrp, supersu, and download the noforce_encrypt_kernel. Just as I was about to download it, it wouldn’t download. I thought that this was simply a bug with the toolkit and wugfresh needed to release a patch for it. However, when I went to download the kernel from Android File Host from wugfresh, I noticed something…
The kernel wasn’t uploaded…
y tho
Oh, thank you for info. My fault, I will get that uploaded ASAP and notify you. I managing a lot of files, its possible that I just didn’t get that one pushed to the androidfilehost servers.
Uploaded now?
I have a nexus 6p with android N Beta on it and I just did the root and install custom recovery. My phone rebooted and its not stucked at the Google animation screen. I waited for like 30 minutes because and its stucked. Any suggestioins?
Thank you for info, will investigate this weekend and push a fix for this device. It seems to be working on all the other devices, but something is going on with 6P.,
What just happened? I setup the Android N 3 beta last week. No worries – the toolkit worked fine – I did the no-wipe rooting – that went fine also.
Tonight I decided to get the Android N 4 beta and get it going. Went through everything – flash stock unroot – update with NPD56N, flashed no problem – everything went great. Then decided to go and again re-root it and it says something about encrypted device detected – must wipe all data to root blah, blah – because – it said – due to Android N…….TWRP……
Anyways, why was I able to root with no issues or master wiping last time and this time – there is no choice.
I did it though because I thought that for sure it would double check and ask if I was sure I wanted to wipe all – it did not – I know, I know – backup blah blah. But really @wugfresh:disqus why did it and actually why does it have to wipe to get root now? I am confused as to how I will get root.
Did you actually let it wipe to root? I backed my Nexus 6 up and let it wipe but the rooting process still fails with bootloop of “no command”. Same thing when I went back to Preview 3 – I can’t root that anymore or even flash stock when “force no encryption” is checked. It seems anything to do with “no force encryption” in NRT v2.1.6 isn’t working for me.
I guess I’ll go back to Preview 4 and stay unrooted in hopes I can eventually get it rooted.
I actually tried everything you said and had the same issues as you.
I decided to go back to marshmallow and rooted again.
The only problem with going back that far is that it appears that Google will not remember your profile to reinstall all of your apps, so mine asked to install the backup profile from my nexus 7. That was weird but I’m back up and rooted and since I flashed the phone, it’s quite speedy.
Are the old versions of NRT (prior to v2.1.6) available anywhere to download? Did they work with Android N Preview 4?
Hi, does this tool root my nexus 7 too?
I recently flashed the June security patch for my HTC Nexus 9 (WIFi only version) and whenever an app asks for permissions to specific capabilities or information such as access to my storage the “allow” option does not work once it is tapped. I have factory reset my tablet and re-flashed the factory image but the problem still persists. Can someone please help me fix this?
Thank you
I had a problem with the Nexus 9 as well. When it rebooted after flashing the latest update it said there was a problem with the encryption and I had to do a factory reset. After the factory reset it seems to run fine but I’ve never run into that before with NRT until 2.1.6. It worked fine with my Nexus 6P with the June Marshmallow update.
Did you flash android N? The toolkit removes forced encryption (for now) when rooting android N – and it should perform the factory reset for you during the root (and inform you of this in new message boxes)
No, I was just going from the M May to M June update. I did originally try to do it unencrypted but it couldn’t download the unencrypted boot image so I shut NRT down, rebooted computer and tried updating like normal with no wipe mode. I’m thinking that had something to do with it. After a factory reset it booted up running the June M update so all is well now but there was a problem trying to download the unencrypted boot image if that’s the proper term.
I had the same problem. For the other updates I was able to side load them just fine without any need for a factory reset so having to reset was a huge surprise and I didn’t have a choice at that point. I’m glad I decided to backup before hand but having to reinstall all my apps and transfer files again is a major pain. You ought to put a warning for the sideload function that it It will cause a factory Reset. All else aside I do appreciate the program!
Hello, thank you that they have received the Google pixel C in the root toolkit . Thank you!! You are the best!! 🙂
I just want to say that when someone searches how to root or unlock a nexus yours should be the first link to pop up,great work
Thank you!
I’m on v2.1.6. I was on Android Paranoid Marshmallow for my nexus 6, for some reason my phone kept blocking adb/fastboot access. I did a reset on the phone and uninstalled/reinstalled NRT (and drivers) and it still wouldn’t give access to it. I rebooted the phone into bootload mode and NRT finally recognized it, tried to do a clean installed of Preview 4 of Android N and the log said everything went fine…once I tried to turn the phone on I kept getting “no command”. Repeated every step one more time just to make sure, same result. Finally got tired and went on XDA and was able to flash Android N Preview 4 while on bootload, everything is running fine. Nexus 6 users beware, 2.1.6 may be misbehaving this time around. Before 2.1.6 tho, NRT has been the only toolkit I’ve ever used, never had any problems. Thanks for the great work!
Can you clarify how you tried to “do a clean install” with NRT – because there is not fundamental difference with how it flashes N on N6 than any other build. I will check the files on my end to make sure the factory package is complete
Hello!
I have same problems. Nexus 6 and installed Android N – first boot have green robot and error “No command”.
Never has any problems before.
Same for me. Tried the latest preview 4 of ‘N’ on a Nexus 6 w/ ‘no forced encryption’ and went into a bootloop with ‘no command’. Then tried to fall back to latest M build, also with no forced encryption, same issue. Finally flashed preview 4 again and allowed encryption, went off fine.
I was a little worried because encryption back in the lollipop days SUCKED on the nexus 6, and I hadn’t been encrypted since (I used NRT specifically to get to M as my carrier had a weird OTA update path for it, and didn’t bother with encryption), but phone is doing great with preview 4, boots quickly and seems to be as smooth as it was without it. First time i’ve used google’s built in back up, too, and honestly kind of impressed…didn’t even bother with my manual back up from my PC.
Same problem. Tried root. Ended up with “no Command”
just wanted to say thanks. I’ve rooted my Nexus 6P and everything is working smoothly. (except for Android Pay but who cares!)

July updates are out! 😉
New Builds are out 6.0.1 (MOB30P)
Thank you for notice, I will work on getting this up tonight
Can I go from the angler-mmb29m December 2015 release to the
angler-mtc19x July 2016 release without do any of the other releases? Or
is that just to big of a jump.
Hello WugFresh,
Seven nights and no update – are you still sleeping? 😉
Can I go from the angler-mmb29m December 2015 release to the angler-mtc19x July 2016 release without do any of the other releases? Or is that just to big of a jump.
You can jump up or down as much or as little as you want – there is no restriction with the “Flash Stock” feature. But it would be advisable to do a clean flash rather than “no wipe mode”, meaning backup your data first and restore afterwards.
So what would be the biggest jump I could make when doing a “no wipe mode”? Would it be best do do each one in turn? I would really rather not do a clean flash.
There is no true rule of thumb. Doing then incrementally won’t make a difference. Just do a full TWRP backup and try to just do the jump you want without a clean flash. Worse case scenario is that you have to revert back. I personally have had success with bigger jumps. As long as it’s not a full android version difference like Lollipop to Marshmallow, etc
I would really rather not do a clean flash. I prefer to do “no wipe mode”, should I do each monthly in turn? Than would be 6 updates. Thank you for a great program and you advice!
OK, I went ahead and took the plunge! I went from angler-mmb29m December 2015 release to the angler-mtc19x July 2016 release without do any of the other releases. That made it a total of 7 updates. I did this with the “no wipe mode”. Everything went just fine, thank you again for your assistance.
Nexus 5X July Build is out MTC19Z. Need to root it soon with this amazing tools..
Awesome tool, thanks I am pretty sure that i will donate now
Nexus 7 2013 July update + root works perfect, as always. Thanks! 🙂
I’ve wanted to root the last two developer previews on Nexus 6 Shamu, but Nexus Toolkit can never find the no force encrypt download, and trying to do it manually leads to a 404 not found. Is there any way to find these files?
Did you ever find it? I have the same problem.
Nope. Just went back to unrooted preview.
Sorry about that. I didn’t have an N6 to test on – I just got one today. I will push an update ASAP
Thanks, if you ever need Nexus 6 testers, I’m available.
Hallo WugFresh,
can you change the date in the site-header (Posted on November 13, 2012 by WugFresh) after an update to the new date.
It’s much more easy to find the new versions 😉
Thats a good idea, yes – for the next release I will do this. (Thank you for suggestion, I slack when it comes to Web Dev.. This site could be way better, I just haven’t spent the time yet)
My Google Nexus5 screen is totally broken. I cannot enable USB debugging. Is there any way I can get the backup of my data?
Do you have TWRP installed? If so, using the buttons, boot it up to the bootloader and boot into recovery. Once there, just connect it to a PC and it will recognize it. At least that’s how I did with my girlfriend’s nexus 5 when it cracked the screen.
Anybody know of a Linux version of this tool?
This work for galaxy s6 edge??
mari.saleh@live.com
Android N-Build NPD56N stock flashed beautifully on NEXUS 6,
But I can’t root it because the toolkit cant find NOFORCE_ENCRYPT_SHAMU_NPD56N.img
i need the same .img :'(
Perhaps we should now wait because the last DP 5 was released on Monday.
The full version N 7 will be available at the end of August
I didn’t have a Nexus 6 to test on – I just got one tonight. I didn’t want to release untested img files, I am working on things now. Will extend support to everything ASAP. When the official 7.0 is released it may take a bit longer to support but I will try to do so as quickly as possible.
please anybody knows how to root the last
preview of android N
How do I fix my Nexus 7 ( 2013) being stuck in “Unlock Bootloader” Screen after I choose the “Yes” Selection ?
I installed this but hide my root won’t detect the su binary. How can I fix this?
after rooting my nexus 6p my gps doesnt work anymore, please help
I’m getting an error at the Extraction stage of Flash Stock & Unroot for MTC19Z. Have tried 4 times.
i cant get any option to download this app
I had installed Android N beta from Google Beta program. When I unenrolled my device and reinstalled the previous version I am not able to get past the boot animation…as if stuckin bootloop. I had not enabled USB debugging option before. So when I am using fastboot for unlocking I am getting an error message that the device is locked. How can I unlock my device now? Please help.
when I try to use this on my Nexus 4 and it tries to down load TWRP it fails every time. just wanted to pass it along
In what way does it fail? Try going in settings and enabling “Alternate fastboot syntax”
New Builds are out 6.0.1 (MOB30Y) , 6.0.1 (MOB30X), and 6.0.1 (MTC20F)
Will extend support ASAP
New August-ROM-Images are out
Working on it
Is there a download for Linux?
stuck on temporarily booting twrp………….plz help me out
Google is your friend.
Me too. :/ “ADB recovery device was not found’ when I go to root. Followed all the prompts, and tried the fixes I found in the forums, to no avail. Google has not, thus far, been fruitful.
You have to mount everything in TWRP and then turn off MTP. It should show up or give you an unidentified device in your computer’s device manager. Then you manually update but have it search your computer for a driver. I ran into the same problem. The options in TWRP is in mount.
This isn’t working for me either; the Android/ADB doesn’t show up as unconfigured in Device Manager for me whether MTP is on or off. Have never had this problem with ADB before??
Looks like Google stopped publishing MD5s and uses only SHA256. No option for that when using 2.1.6. Looks like I’ll either have to skip the hash verification or wait for an update.
Correct, the new version will be able to verify with md5, sha1 or sha256 – still cranking out some cool new features, will try to get it out asap.
Great, thank you! 🙂
Does this change (Google not publishing MD5s anymore) apply to only new builds or even the older ones, and is there are way to bypass it somehow and still use NRT 2.1.6? I am trying to pass the “This device was reset. To continue, sign in with a Google Account that was previously synced on this device.” -screen on a Nexus 6 (can’t get through even by using a previously used account), so any OS build would be fine, but I do get an Hashcheck Mismatch -error when trying to download the TWRP Recovery.
Hey guys, looks like there are some issue with androidfilehost API, stay tuned while this gets resolved.
I just pushed out Masterlist file support files for all the latest builds, stay tuned for v2.1.7 with all the new fixes and features.
Hashcheck mismatch…waiting for new version
“NRT file download incomplete/hashcheck – mismatch”. What I am supposed to download/install now to make it work? I am not knowledgeable in software coding etc, just a guy trying to get his Nexus 7 (Wi-fi) to work properly again.
I have a Nexus 6 build number is MMB30R..no listing for this build number..help?
My Nexus 6 has MOB30R..it is up to date
@WugFresh the program needs updating. I can’t root my tablet after updating it because the root files won’t download due to Hashcheck mismatch
Same here. It’s impossibile to download the latest TWRP and SuperSU! Thanks
August update + root works perfectly as always (N7/2013). Thanks @wugfresh:disqus ! 😉
I can’t seem to root MTC20F. It either failes to start ADB (and the posted fixes don’t work for me – it doesn’t show up as an unconfigured device for me in Device Manager whether MTP is on or off) claims to have rooted successfully but hasn’t (BusyBox and SuperSU throw up no flags but RootChecker says it’s not successfully rooted). Hoping this will be resolved with next update?
Hi, I think I have same issue. Nexus Root toolkit always send an error
message : adb.exe Entry point not found. SO I cannot do anything with
the last version of NRT
Sorry about that. You running XP? If so – this issue is fixed in the soon the be released version of NRT.
Yes, i’m on XP.
But its cool to know that its already fixed 🙂
Thanx
Android 7.0 Nougat Preview 5 is out. Yes, that´s the offical name of Android N, Android 7.0 Nougat.
Yes, almost done with v2.1.7 with full support for everything. I wish N was for Nutella, Nougat sounds so weird.
The weirdest thing for me was the version of Nougat they showed.
Thank you WugFresh for all your great job! I sent you some PayPal motivation for v 2.1.7 as my thanks 🙂 How does it look with release date?
All features coded, just testing now. 24 hours max is my goal
Android N final is coming on Monday 22nd August. So it would be 2.1.8 then?
can you use this root kit to install the custom recovery also, and if so how would i go about doing this….new to rooting nexus need some advice and help
Yes. Under the root button there is a check mark to also install custom recovery. It will take care of both. Alternatively, you can use Advanced Utilities > Fastboot Flash > Recovery > Latest Twrp.
Thanks for the reply.
Your software help me a lot
After rooting my Nexus 7 2013 (WiFi) I was met with the Google screen, which it stayed on for about 20 minutes, help?`
Android 7.0 Released today.
Hey! The official update for Android 7.0 Nougat is here today, and I was wondering if NRT supported it yet, or if not, when it will? Great job with the software, thanks!
Factory images need to be posted by Google first, then incorporated into NRT. Shouldn’t be long until that happens
Alright. Thanks for the help!
NRT v2.1.7 Released. Waiting for official 7.0 factory images to extend full support to that as well.
Thanks , is normal show : no-force encrypt : not present..???
I don’t see Android 7.0 Nougat build NPD90M listed, will NPD90G work with a Nexus 5X?
Google has yet to release the factory image packages for these new 7.0 builds. Do not use NPD90G to root NPD90M. Root support will be extended as soon as possible. Waiting for google to release the factory images to start working on it. Cheers.
I do not see build number NRD90M listed. What is the difference between that build, and the latest build is NPD90G? Will it work to root my Nexus 5X successfully?
NRT still XP compatible? Getting an “WSAPoll could not be located in WS2_32.dll” error. (Yes I know I shouldn’t be using XP but it’s running on a VM on a Mac)
Interesting – thank you for report. I certainly want it to be XP compatible, I believe its an issue with the newer adb/fastboot – but I need to confirm. I will try to reproduce your error in a VM shortly.
Hey, I confirmed its an issue with the newer adb and fastboot not working with XP. See this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/general/psa-fix-adb-doesnt-winxp-t3403955. If you were to replace the adb and fastboot with the old ones linked in that thread it would work. However the realtime adb push percentage wouldn’t work anymore (newer feature in adb), but everything else would. I will integrate these old binaries into v2.1.8, and have the toolkit revert to them if XP is detected as the OS. Thanks again for the report.
hi, i just used 2.1.7 to return to unrooted stock on my pixel c to get ready for the ota. the first time through the program would not advance past the “further extraction of files” screen although all the files had been fully extracted. it was as though it was in some type of loop since the program was continuing to use 17% CPU & 20MB OF MENORY. i ended task, (had fingers crossed) after waiting 20 min. the next run ran through to completion just fine . on 2nd run i selected the already have files option. on the first run i had selected the 90G build. anyway, just a slight bump on first run. as soon as i get ota and you get the files i’ll try the root on the pixel c. nice work! and thank you.
Thanks for info, sounds like 7zip was hanging on that first attempt for you (for whatever reason). I will see if I can add in some better handling of that scenario, so that it just auto force-kills the hanged operation and retries it.
You will also have to wait for me to extend official support for those new 7.0 builds to obtain root on the Pixel C. I will do so asap – just waiting for google to release the factory images so I can get started working on it.
In V2.17 with Nexus 6P
I can see Android 7.0.0 – Build : NPD90G factory image, Is it the official stock rom?
I thought it’s not out yet :O
No, that is actually preview 5. Strangely google decided to name the last preview build version 7.0 instead of N. You are correct, the latest official 7.0 is not yet out in factory image format, and thus – is not yet in NRT.
Thanks a lot of clarifying!! Cheers!!
I have build number NRD90M for my Nexus 6P, just updated to to Android 7.0 is this the official stock rom or just another preview?
Google has yet to release the factory image packages for these new 7.0 builds. Do not use NPD90G to root NPD90M. Root support will be extended as soon as possible. Waiting for google to release the factory images to start working on it. Cheers.
NRD90M: *Should be official release*
NRD90G: *Final beta*
Getting ADB connectivity errors.
Home & work machines have been updating this 6P since December with no issues.
Since installing 90G have been unable to root and now getting same error for sideloading 90M.
Tried following support suggestions withing NRT to solve the issue but no joy.
I’ll wait for NRT update, hopefully that will sort it.
Keep up the good work mate, love NRT, even told others to buy Nexus over Galaxy etc due to great root support from you.
Thanks!!
Cant choose build nrd90m for my 6p. And download mode is disabled
Google hasn’t released the factory images yet for that. https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images – they are still updating users via ota. When they release, I will start working on adding it.
Clear! Thanks a lot
Google have not released factory images for 6P yet.
A couple of online articles state you can use 90M but I personally had problems trying to do this, and WugFresh advised not to use 90M.
To wait for release, and NRT will get the appropriate factory images as soon as they are available.
Hope that helps.
Newest factory images for Android N are being uploaded today. Pixel C is up as well as Nexus Player and Nexus 9(WiFi)
All three are now supported. Less than 24 hours 🙂 Quite a bender, but its ready. v2.1.8 above.
I rooted when I was with 6.0 just to unlock tethering. When I received the next security update I lost root but kept the unlocked tethering. Now I updated to Android N which I figure would erase the the tethering. Well I guess I was wrong because I can still tether and receive updates with no problem on my 6p.
I was concerned that I would loose tethering on my Nexus 6P on AT&T when I decide to upgrade to Android N. It is good to hear that this should not be the case. What carrier are you on?
I’ve just updated NRT to v. 2.1.8 but can’t see the build number NRD90M in the drop down list like in the screenshot above.
What device do you have? At this time google has only released factory images for pixel c, nexus player and nexus 9 wifi.
Ah yes, I see that now. I just saw the build number on the screen shot and missed lookin at the model number. I’ll be patient! BTW I have a Nexus 6P.
I have a Nexus 6P with NRD90M. Google Rolled it out to those in the Android BETA program. But, as stated above, its not in the Repository yet.
The factory images for phones such as the Nexus 5X or 6P have yet to be released. He needs for those to be released in order for him to implement it into NRT.
I have a rooted Nexus 6P (MTC20F) with TRWP 3.0.2 and SuperSU 2,76 and Xposed.
Can I update my Nexus with NRT to Android N with OTA file zip, or I wait de Factori Image NRD90M?
Actually Android N not support Xposed. I need uninstall Xposed (from recovery with uninstall) before the update to Android N.
For Android N I need update TWRP t0 version 3.0.2-1?
You cannot update OTA as long as you are rooted.
I flashed Android 7.0 on my Nexus 9 using this Nexus toolkit however, I cannot see the option to change the wifi frequency band in settings. Should I reflash the factory image or is this a change in Android 7.0?
Thank you
New Platform-tools 24.0.2 relesed.
Thanks for info. Will include in next release.
Quick question… Can the NRT 2.1.8 already root Android 7.0.0 (NRD90M) on a Nexus Player?
Yes
I was having issues rooting the Nexus Player using SuperSU 2.76 and the 2.77 betas. As suggested on the Nexus Player thread on XDA, using SuperSU 2.71 beta roots 7.0 Nougat on the NP>
Thank you for your very good work!
New TWRP 3.0.2-1 with Android 7.0 support just relese for bullhead, angler and flounder.
Thanks for the heads up, they are now included. 🙂
Can we root Android 7.0 on the Nexus 5X?
By tomorrow, I just haven’t had a moment to upload the new TWRP
The Factory images for Nexus 5X are available now, you can update the tool to be able to root and recovery, thanks
C’mon Google. Could we have the Nexus 6p please?
NRT will actually now work on this without the factory images. I just pushed masterlists 3129. Since its not yet listed in NRT pull down menu, just select “Any Build” mode and it will work to root it. Cheers!
I mean to flash directly to NRD90M. Not to root it.
Just pushed masterlists 3129.
Can I use this tool to root Nexus 6p on Android 7.0.?
Yes, now you can. I just uploaded the new Masterlists 3129. Make sure you are updated to the latest masterlists (they should autoupdate on start – or you can use the update menu). With those, you can now root it via “Any Build” mode. The factory images are yet to be released for this device, so you wont see it available in the pull-down menu yet – but with any-build selected, it will root.
I’m on a nexus 6p I’ve updated masterlist to 3129 but there’s no sign of “Android 7 – Any build or NRD90M”
Any help to root this?
In the device and build selection menu, for the build select “Any Build” its an option in the pull down menu. It’s the last one in the list.
it is “android 6 – any build” not android 7…I’m on the last 7 release… It’s okay to root it if on phone i’ve got android 7 but from menu i select “android 6 – any build”? So final result it’s Nougat with root or Marshmellow?
Solved, it works…but now i haven’t write access to system while in Nougat, but from recovery works everything ok
I’m on a nexus 6p I’ve updated masterlist to 3129 but there’s no sign of “Android 7 – Any build or NRD90M”
Any help to root this?
Flashed, rooted and working perfect! Thank you Wug! 😉
I have a boolooping Nexus 6 which was on android N latest build, how can I use this tool to fix the issue ? I tried it before and it misses “Fastboot Device” at some point
the thing is, when trying to do the “install stock/bootloop” option, it demands for the bootloader to be unlocked, and for so, it needs to be restarted and powered on, since it’s in a bootloop it does not go past the animation, and so resulting the installing operation to not succeed, could you recommend me a fix ? at least on how to unlock the bootloader so I could do something with the device?
So I upgraded to Android 7 with Flash Stock + Unroot. Worked fine. Now I want to root my Nexus 5X with the Root option. But the phone just boots TWRP and then nothing happens?
Hey guys, i have a nexus 6 which has been giving me problems for a long period. Initially i got it, ota updated it to 5.1 some error popped up during installation and then started bootlooping, i had to exchange my device for a new one since none of this fixes that were posted online worked. After that i have always been paranoid to update using ota ones and my nexus has been in 5.0.1 since then. I had used kingroot to root it sometime bak and that also i have unrooted now. Now its out if warranty and i thought i wil update it to 7.0 because i have lots if bugs in apps(they randomly keep shutting down when i open them). Can i use this wugfresh tool to update from 5.0 to android 7.0? Im a noob at all this thats why i need something that does all the work and updates my phone to 7.0..
Thanks
Hi ! I need to turn off the proximility sensor. How can i do that the easy way ? Can get root acess and then turn it off without loosing data or add a new software ? Nexus 6p
Hey. Do you guys know when encryption will be supported for rooted Android 7?
I have reinstalled my Nexus to NRD90M, installed Stock Boot (Kernel) but when I’m trying to root I’m getting this error in TWRP:
*Boot image patcher*’
…..
Creating ramdisk backup
— Failure, aborting
and then it reboots.
I’m stuck and can’t find a solution. Hopefully you can help me!
Thanks!
Hi, I have the same problem. I hope you can solve the problem quickly possible …
hey thanks a ton
easiest way to root a nexus
it worked perfectly for latest developer preview when selected with any device for version 🙂
i faced little trouble in setting up ADB drivers on windows 10
after that toolkit took care of everything 🙂
Why I can not update my nexus 6p MTC20F to NRD90M . It does not appear in the list in the menu. I have the updated NRT .
See here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images Google hasn’t released the factory image for that device yet. The only way to get that update at this time is via signing up for the google beta program. NRT can root it however by setting your build to “Any Build” in the pull down menu.
Why I can not update my nexus 6p from MTC20F to NRD90M . NPD90G only appears in the list to choose from. I have the NRT updated v2.1.8 masterlists 3129 . sorry my bad english
See my response below to your duplicate post.
is it possible to get NRT 2.1.0? It seems to not have the “unlocked vs lock_state” variable issue I’m running into
Which device do you have? I want to push a fix asap if I can reproduce what you are experiencing.
Nexus 7 Wifi, do you need build number too?
Sure, (shouldn’t be relevant in this case, but extra info could maybe help).
info above
okay, my mistake…I tried again using the fastboot commands option and choosing the Nexus 7 Wifi 2013 edition and it’s working. Thanks so much for this amazing tool!
You mean you manually entered the command? Or did you use the Unlock button?
No, I chose the correct model and then used the “Flash Stock + Unroot” and it worked
Product Name – flo
Variant – flo 32G
HW Version – rev_e
Bootloader Version – FLO-04.05
Carrier Info – None
Signing – yes
Secure Boot – enabled
Lock State – unlocked
Is it possible to upgrade Nexus 5 to Android 7.0 using NRT, even though there is no official release for that phone?
For the older devices like the Nexus 5, you will want to browse around XDA forums and look for a ported android 7.0 based custom ROM. Then you can flash it with NRT using “Advanced Utilities” > “Flash Zips” > “File is on this comp”. I am not sure if any 7.0.0 custom ROMs are already out for the N5, its a bit early – but you can count on some dev doing it.
I count on that 🙂 Thank you for your reply.
Happily, there is a factory image of NR90M published for my 5X, but unhappily, when I try to flash it using NRT (using “Automatically download + extract the factory image selected above for me”), I get a hashcheck mismatch. Is this something that I can easily fix by downloading the image direct from Google myself or will I subsequently encounter problems when trying to root same using NRT (I’ve had issues with this in the past)? Should I just wait until the next update?
Have you tried restarting your computer?
After a second reboot, as suggested, I made another attempt at “Automatically download + extract the factory image selected above for me” and noticed that the “Download” phase is only getting halfway through before it tries doing the hashcheck (and comes up with “mismatch”).
So I went ahead and downloaded the factory image and tried it that way. It imported successfully, but during the hashcheck it came up with another mismatch (didn’t even prompt me for the number?). Perhaps I’m just going to have to wait until a fix rolls out.
Thank you for information. Maybe google reuploaded a new factory image. I will push new masterlists this evening and let you know.
Still getting a mismatch, so I’m guessing the change to the Factory files is still giving you headaches?
ALL fastboot images for ALL devices are rebuilt now to *.zip from *.tgz
Please update your masterlists. Thanks.
Damn google… that is a pain. Its a bit more complicated than that unfortunately. Please await v2.1.9 with adaptations. Anyway, thanks for letting me know.
I constantly get hashcheck mismatch when I try to update dependencies TWRP 3.0.2.0 mako. I tried manually downloading and importing it, but it has no effect. This has happened since the last version. Pls let me know how to solve this? Thx!
Hi again)
It is no individual recovery for Nexus 9 LTE, but NRT want to download “twrp-3.0.2-1-flounder_lte.img” and course give an error.
Please, use “twrp-X.X.X-X-flounder.img” for both models (Wi-Fi and LTE).
Hey, sorry about that, in the past I have just been re-uploading the same flounder.img as flounder_lte to avoid the logic step in the code, I had neglected to upload that file recently, its now up – and will work. In future NRT versions it will just accept the same file for both devices.
MANY PEOPLE ARE REPORTING TWRP VERSION “twrp-3.0.2-1-angler.img” AS BRICKING THEIR PHONES AFTER RESTORING EFS ON XDA!!! PLEASE UPDATE NEXUS TOOL KIT TO USE VERSION “twrp-3.0.2-2-angler.img” INSTEAD!!!
SORRY FOR CAPS…..
Official Quote:
“Hello everyone! I bring news from the TWRP developers from the #TWRP IRC channel! TWRP 3.0.2-1 has a fatal bug! If you backup and restore EFS it will brick you! Do not backup and restore EFS on 3.0.2-1! Use 3.0.2-0 instead! This has already been fixed in the newer builds!
If you have been bricked you NEED to Erase the EFS partitions and that will fix it immediately.
For the Nexus 6P go to TWRP. Then on PC Open Command Prompt with access to ADB ( Android Debug Bridge) and execute the following commands:
ADB shell dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/soc.0/f9824900.sdhci/by-name/modemst1 bs=16384
and
ADB Shell dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/soc.0/f9824900.sdhci/by-name/modemst2 bs=16384
This should fix it for ANY Nexus 6P users. Users on other phones with the same problem await instructions!”
Yikes. Thanks for the heads up. You caught me at a good time. I am at my comp, so I quickly uploaded the new version just now, and set it to auto delete that 3.0.2-1 version.
Can you do my a favor thought and repost this info in the support forum: http://www.wugfresh.com/forums/sub/nrt/ – it will be easier for users to find if needed, rather than lost in this disqus comment section.
I will, thanks for being so dedicated in your work! Amazing work!
First off, nice App. Wish I had known about this in the past. If this helps my bootloop issue on my Nexus 5x, you’re gonna get a big fat donation.
Been through the mill with my Nexus 5x all day – it’s still stuck on the “Google” screen after bringing back to Stock. Going to wait a bit longer … but any chance you might know of any other reason why my phone will no longer load correctly? It’s been unrooted, unlocked for some time. I was on the Android N Beta program, and it worked for a few days before it crashed on me.
Sometimes it bootloops for a good 10-20 min after a flash stock. Other times to escape a bootloop you may need to try a factory reset from stock recovery via https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/4596836?hl=en [option 2]
Ti movi a tira’ fori il 2.1.9 che un se ne pole più! Boia dè!
Hello! Thank you very much for developing this, hopefully it will help me rescue my phone. Just wanted to say that the NRT does not recognizes zip files, only tgz/tar ones and the latest factory images are zip files. Cant get it to work yet. Any help¿ Thanks!
You’re welcome. Yes, I am aware of the zip thing. This was a totally unexpected change, so my kit was not prepared for it. I am working on v2.1.9 which will support the new zip packs and also be backwards compatible with tgz. Aiming to finish within 24 hours.
Hi! I’ve previously rooted my Nexus 5x when I was running Android 6.0.1. After I made the update to Nougat NRD90M, I want now to root it again. I was wondering something though, is it necessary to install a custom recovery in order to root the phone? Can’t the SuperSU archive be flashed within the fastboot command shell ? Thanks for your future answer, and keep doing your amazing work!
You can root without a custom recovery, nrt temporarily boots twrp to install SU
Thanks for the great work, just curious is there a full system root for the 5x yet or is only the systemless available on 7.0?
amazing work guys………thanks a ton
This app saved me and made me love and want to keep my new 6P! Thank you!!!!!!!!
Anyone know how to flash zip factory images as nrt is asking for tgz/tar while the factory images are all zip?
This was an unexpected change by google. I am still working on v2.1.9 which will work with these new zip packs. Hopefully completed within 24hours.
Hey, Is the latest update ready. I am have downloaded MTC20L image but it does not appear in v2.1.8. I hope this latest release will include the latest image for Nexus 🙂
what happened to Android 7 for nexus 6,
I noticed September security update for Marshmallow on nexus 6 has just been uploaded.
But still no sigh of Android 7 for nexus 6
Was wondering the exact same thing. Still no official image posted. The 6p was only a few days ago from what i’m seeing in various threads.
NRD90U is out for nexus 6p 😉 How can I flash and root it throught NRT?
There is an option to manually flash image files you downloaded yourself…but a better idea is to wait until @wugfresh:disqus releases an updated masterlist.
Have you try that?
Not yet, I’m still downloading this image. But I’ve done this many times in the past’ with previous versions of android.
This time please wait for v2.1.9, I should get it done by tomorrow I believe
Awesome!! waiting for 2.1.9 🙂
Thank you in advance!
Hey @wugfresh:disqus any update on a possible release day? Thanks for all the hard work.
Within 36 hours I should have it out.
Thanx 4 tool. waiting for 2.1.9
@wugfresh:disqus is there a problem if I change the .zip extention to .tgz and flash de latest security build on a Nexus 5? It matches SHA-256 checksum and start to flash but I’m not sure about flashing it (maybe something uncompress wrong). Is it possible or is a better idea to wait for 2.1.9? Thanks in advance!
Can i flash custom roms that i get on xda for example with your software? Or just factory images?
When I get into TWRP Recovery and go to the install section the “!ReadyToFlash” folder doesn’t show up. Why is that? Some please haalp 🙁
I am a bit confused on sideloadng the latest update NRD90U for nexus 6p.
-I am currently on NRD90M build(locked bootloader). I am planning to sideload the new OTA file -NRD90U through this tool.
-Since the build – NRD90M is not available in the list of menu of builds, I chose the last option -‘Any build’
– When i tried to sideload the new build – NRD90U , an error message was displayed stating -‘Currently there are no stock recovery image available for your build.-You will have to wait for google to release the factory image package to boot stock to recovery’
My questions are:
1) I am stuck at this stage. How do i proceed from this ?
2) What is the need to – ‘boot stock to recovery’?
3) The official factory image – NRD90U is already available.Then I assume the tool would have detected it ?
4) If the build – ‘NRD90M’ ‘s file will not be uploaded by google at all, how will the tool sideload the new build(NRD90U) when does it not find the original build which I am into(NRD90M) to boot into stock recovery?
Please apologize if these questions are silly as i am a beginner trying to understanding the tool ! 🙂
Wait till nrt 2.19 – it will have the updated list for 6p
I have a rooted Nexus 6p with MM (MTC20F) with TWRP 3.0.2-0, SuperSU 2.76 and Xposed.
Can I update to Android N (NRD90U) with NRT?
Maybe I have to first uninstall Xposed (I know that does not work with Andorid N)?
I must first install the TWRP 3.0.2-2? Or maybe this makes the NRT automatically?
I need to update drivers? What steps should I do? Should I choose a few options?
Obviously, every suggestion is very helpful for me.
Thank you.
I tried on my 6p and got a boot loop. I would expect to have to wipe everything
Thank you for your answer.
I also expect the version 2.19.
When is it available, how can you make the update from MM (MTC20F) to Nougat (NRD90U)?
Or maybe the NRT only need to redo the Root after the update to Android N?
No idea, he said it would be ready in 24 hours, 3 days ago.. Soon i guess.
Use flash stock + unroot. Back up everything first! The re-root afterwards
Giovanni. I always back up data partition to PC then restore when I clean install. You CAN upgrade to N but it will boot loop if you try to down grade back to MM. I was able to upgrade to N via OTA side loaded.
Here is what I do.
Backup data using twrp.
Within twrp mount to PC and transfer data.
Reboot into bootloader then use NRT for whatever I want to do.
Once everything is done.
I mount again within twrp then restore data. If you are rooted/want root you will need to flash Super SU after restoring.
I was trying to flash MOB31E on my nexus 5 but this latest NRT doesn’t detect zip file I downloaded. can anybody tell me how to?
wait til nrt 2.19 – it will support zip files
I have nexus 6p with NRD90M so can I use Nexus 5x NRD90M to unroot my 6p?
No, wait till nrt 2.19 then use the 6P NRD90U
Yesterday, I installed cyanogenmod on my Nexus 5 and now it reboots radomically. I wanna restore my phone, so should I set ˜soft-brick`or `cellphone is normal?`
yes boot up your phone in bootloader and then flash using ‘soft-brick’ worked for me going from cm13 back to stock.
I have an issue and Im wondering if anyone with a Nexus has experienced this problem.
I have the Nexus 5 and have had it for the past 2 years without issue. All of a sudden 3 days ago my service just stopped working. After calling my carrier and doing all kinds of T/S including back up and reset and changing sim cards I still can’t connect to my carriers network.
I tried rolling back or downgrading back to Lollipop after doing a little research and still no luck. Even tried KitKat and still nothing.
I tried inserting my sim in another phone with the same carrier and it works!! I don’t get it as I have never had any issues, never dropped my phone, got it wet or anything!
Has anyone experienced this and have a fix for it? I would be sooooo appreciative (can’t express in words how much) if someone could help me figure this out. I’m willing to try anything.
Thanks,
Jenn
I also can’t find my network carrier in more networks, it just keeps searching until it says can’t connect to the network right now, try again later. BUT when I put my sim back in my phone it recognizes I have a voicemail…..it’s so weird!
Try downgrading to android 5.0 / 5.1 (do a fresh install)
I did that and currently have 5.0 installed. I even tried it on KitKat 4.4
I did that and currently have 5.0 installed. I tried it on KitKat 4.4 as well
I learned how to do it from youtube which guided me here. I successfully unlocked my bootloader and flashed a copy of android 5.0…if that makes sense? I’m not sure if im using the right terminology.
Maybe try a factory reset on 4.4 / 5.0
If not I’m guessing a hardware issue 🙁
ok I will try that next! Thank you for your advice!
Your phone’s antenna or coaxial cables may be broken.
Try disassembling it, peace of cake if you take a look at YouTube videos.
On the other hand, maybe it’s a SIM card reader problem. Have you tried a different SIM card?
yes I went to my carrier and purchased another sim and made sure its the active one on my account. It doesnt work on my phone but works in other phones locked to same carrier. I will take a look at youtube videos at fixing the antenna and cables as you suggested. – Thanks
By the way, not sure if this helps at all, when I insert my sim it recognizes that I have a voicemail but still can’t connect to network. I tried on 2g 3g, nothing.
V2.1.9 release should be within 36 hours and will handle these new zip packs.
YAY!!!
Brilliant makes life a lot easier
been waiting the past week for this not to have to use a work around any update as to when this will happen? keep up the good work!
Hey Wug, thanks for all the work you’ve put it! Just wanted to know if the new build for Nexus 6P, NRD90T will work with the upcoming v2.1.9 for rooting.
Thanks!
is there a workaround ? i extracted the zip, then tar’ed it with the same filename, then NRT crashes with an error that an argument was provided and none was expected
Instead of changing the NRT codebase, why not simply wrap the contents of the .zip into a tarball so it is one file, remove the file extension and wrap it in a tarball again. This mimics exactly how it was done previously and is supported by NRT. Current image support will be necessary though.
Hi there. I am currently in no position to pay you; however when I am I will. This is amazing. Used it to prep my old Nexus 5 for Nethunter install and it was so easy. No screwing around just click, click, BOOM!.
Can’t wait to do my 6P.
Thank you for all your hard work. You make life good and stuff.
Cheers. Happy it was helpful. Now I have that song stuck in my head, lol.
Hey,
Thank you so much for this it made my nexus root process a breeze! I do have a question though, since I am rooted, once 2.1.9 comes out, what is the best method of going to Nougat on my Nexus 6P? Should I go back to non root, lock my bootloader and do OTA or can I flash the factory image using the Toolkit?
Eric you do not need to lock bootloader. You can flash using NRT but you have to wait for update that supports zip.
Thanks Wugfresh for all you are doing, I have a question, what hapen if I interrup any process in Nexus Root Tookit, such as flash stock + unroot or interrup unlock bootloader?
Thanks for your advice.
Renato
Usually interrupting anything will brick the device
Thanks Jay, do you know how I can unlock (unbrick) the tablet, it do not get on.
Thanks.
Try the factory reset using nrt and select the option that you are bricked
Thanks Jay, I will going to try it.
Kinda depends when you interrupt it. For example, pulling the plug or exiting the flash stock script while its mid-flashing a new bootloader would be the worse time (since bootloader mode is what you use to fix the device when things go wrong). If you were to interrupt it while it was flashing system or data or something, it would soft brick the device, but reflashing it would likely fix it. These devices are very difficult to brick, almost anything can be fixed by reflashing stock. There is no truly bad way to interrupt the bootloader unlock script, since it just issues one command to unlock it – after that command is issued, it doesn’t even matter if the device is connected to the computer or not. Once you see that “do you want to unlock” screen on the device, you could kill NRT and it would be fine. <– not that I am recommending these things, just wanted to answer your question.
Thanks WugFresh.
Hello, my new NEXUS 5X shows build number NRD90R, can I still use your Nexus Root Toolkit v2.1.8 to unlock/root it (by selecting BULLHEAD Any Build or either NRD90G / NRD90M), or should I wait for your next update? Thank you.
Ive been trying to restore stock recovery on my nexus 6 with no success. After it boots into TWRP temp, I get “connectivity issue preventing a successful ADB push”. ive tried three different computers. NO luck. ANY IDEAs?
Did you solve this issue? I would like to restore stock on my Nexus 6.
i can’t find nexus 5 build number MOB31E !!!! WHY !
because, google changed how the files are released. they aren’t tgz files anymore. they are now rar files, and this client wasn’t meant to use rar files.
zip files not rar files…
well I downloaded a rar file somehow.
from the official google developers page? should be another website then, take care then
sadly… that’s why me as well can’t update my phone to the latest patch security cause of the file extension they made from .tar to .zip 🙁
Hey, any idea if I can root my 6p with NRD90T?
Hey Nisarg,
You can root your 6P with it however if you are going to use a root tool like the one from WugFresh, let’s wait for the next update from the developers as their tool supports only .tar and .gz files and most likely since Google changed the file extension to .zip, we can’t upload the file on WugFresh tool. Me as well still waiting for the major update to support .zip file as well but yeah it is possible.
Oh alright. I just thought the zip was needed to lock and return to stock. Had a rooted OnePlus one, but even that was from a root tool kit for Mac. Never tried rooting after. So basically when the new update 2.1.9 comes and supports zip, only then i can use the tool kit yeah?
Indeed Yes. 🙂
Hey Mikey, I guess my previous comment disappeared. I don’t have much experience rooting, but NRD90T is not on Google’s list anyway, that just has NRD90U.
Also, the manual instructions for root says we need to download stuff from sdk. Do we need to do any of that with this tool kit? Or just follow step by step directions and we’re good to go? Sorry to bother you and thanks! 🙂
You can just download this toolkit and after downloading, just download the image from Google’s Repositories and import that model version to this toolkit and voila… it will initiate automatically. Just make sure to copy and paste the HASH from google to verify same verification.
Thanks Mikey!
You meant the OTA image yeah?
I was talking about ADB and fastboot from SDK. Do we need to download those for the toolkit to work?
No need if your computer has the ADB driver already. if not, you can download google adb driver from their site if that’s what you are pertaining to 🙂
Yeah that’s what I meant. 🙂
Found the necessary files.
Just waiting for the new version.
Although I just didn’t one thing. The process of root as far as I know, won’t change from NRD90M to NRD90T. So unless we want to flash an OTA image, why is the zip compatibility required?
well the OTA can be installed manually using the traditional Google Process but if you are going to use the nexus toolkit, well you can also flash the OTA from there, but normally i do is download the whole image and do the full flash + unroot with no wipe mode.
Oh alright.
So zip compatibility will be needed for whenever a new OTA arrives if I want use the toolkit.
But for right now, do I need zip compatibility if I just wanna unlock the bootloader and root it?
No need if your computer has the ADB driver already. if not, you can download google adb driver from their site if that’s what you are pertaining to 🙂
where link for NRT v2.1.9?
Is it possible to download the newest factory images from Google (Nexus 6P). Rename it from .zip to tar and than flash it into the toolkit?
Instead of changing the NRT codebase, why not simply wrap the contents of the .zip into a tarball so it is one file, remove the file extension and wrap it in a tarball again. This mimics exactly how it was done previously and is supported by NRT. Current image support will be necessary though.

Sorry for the dumb question Rekl1ss, but is the word wrap meaning manually changing / renaming its extension from .zip to .tar? Will that be ok? or will it ruin the whole zip file?
Tried changing the file extension from .zip to .tgz or .tar and it went well upon verifying however, it got an error when the tool is initiating after. 🙁 I bet it is still not working then.

No. recompress to .tar in linux
Oh i see then. I’ll try to recompress that to Linux. Hopefully windows has it as well as I am currently on Windows. But anyway, thanks for the tip!. Did it work on your end as a workaround?
You may be able to do the same thing in windows using 7zip. Use the latest original .tar image and swap out the contents with the ones from the .zip file
Hey guys/girls – I just didn’t get an opportunity to code last night, was too busy with other work. Going to finish this up tonight. Thank you all for patience – I look forward to getting this new release out.
Thanks a lot man.
Been waiting for this! Keep up the good work and kudos to you! 😀
No, thank you genius! Waiting to flash my N5 tonight.
@WugFresh you are awesom!. Considered FlashFire to handle the NRD90U update my 6p downloaded, but would rather patiently wait for 2.1.9 to update from NRD90M. 🙂
I am wanting to downgrade my 7.0. NRD90m Nexus 6p to 6.0.1. However, there are no NRD builds listed under Nexus 6p. but other devices such as the Nexus 5x have it listed?
Also, auto detecing only detects my device but not my build (NRD90M)
New Platform-tools 24.0.3 relesed.
Thank you for notice, included in 2.1.9
how can i flash img file ??
@wugfresh:disqus Good work man. Is the new release going to be out any time soon?
I’m also looking forward for v2.1.9, I’ve been waiting for a week now
Took a bit longer than I wanted, but its out now. Cheers.
NEXUS 5 Build not updated. I m running HH 6.0.1 MOB31E…the software doesn’t have that
seems we need the same thing
Now supported by NRT.
IS there a version that works with the NRD80R for the 5x?
Now supported in v2.1.9
is there a version that works with the NRD90R for the 5x? that is the latest update for it. its not an option on here
I have the same problem here!
Now supported.
Please support LG Nexus 5, MOB31E build.
supported in v2.1.9
2.1.9 now up with full ZIP style factory image support. All latest builds included. Enjoy!
Thank you for the update!!! had been waiting for this…. checking in everyday!!!
Well done
Thanks ! You are the best!
Merci 😉
Thanks! Updating safely again. One question, what is the “Enable extended image…” box for?
Without it checked it will only show you the new zip factory images currently listed on Googles factory image page. With it checked it will show you the full archive of every factory image released for your device, including past TGZ packages and preview builds.
Nice! Thank you! Great option BTW.
finally it is time
i refreshed this page so many times in the last 10 days
Finally! Good job! 🙂
Download mode: Disabled! … Please connect data cable
I can’t go to download mode anymore
Anyone knows how to fix it?
I have a Nexus 5X with Android 7.0 NRD80R, but this build doesn’t appear on the list. Could i still use NRT2.1.9 to root the phone? What is the procedure in this case? thank you very much
Do I use nougat factory or OTA files for a flash on a rooted Nexus?
“Flash Stock + Unroot” button works with factory images. “Sideload OTA” works with ota files
Hello all, hello Wugfresh. So here’s my 2 cents. I gathered some research about te firmware NDR90R on Nexus 5x. It turns out that NDR90R is the firmware of pixel C but for some unknown reason it went OTA in the nexus 5x too. However the right upgrade for nexus 5x is NDR90S. So i resolved by flashing the rom NDR90S to my Nexus 5x then by rooting the phone with the NRT as usual. Hope it helps somehow. Bye all *flies away*
Hey, i got min NDR90R via the update from the phone and it has been crashing… is the NDR90S working on the 5x?
Yeah on my nexus 5x it works fine
Is yours still working with it? NDR90S.
Has anyone else been successful with this?
Had one who told me his don’t even boot at all now since that update… Maybe safer to go with MCT20k?
Just using this on a Nexus 6p 7.0
Trying to restore a backup, I get the following error in the log:
“adb server version (32) doesn’t match this client (36); killing…
* daemon started successfully *
Now unlock your device and confirm the restore operation.”
Operation seems to think it completes…but I can’t see any evidence of the backup. Have tried restarting and gong through the driver checker again and it seems to think it’s fine.
Any suggestion?
I have a Nexus 6P with Android 7.0 NRD90M, but this build doesn’t appear on the list
what can I do?
Set to “any build”. You can also use the flash stock button, with no-wipe mode enabled to upgrade to the latest NRD90U.
Thanks wugfresh
Select “Any Build”, also feel free to use “Flash Stock + Unroot” with “no-wipe” mode to update to the latest official build. Which I believe is currently NRD90U for the 6P.
unlocking and rooting worked fine, thanks a lot.
but now i flashed a rom that seems to be nrd90u and mine is nrd90t so on initial setup playstore app keeps stopping. can i flash factory image nrd90u?
@wugfresh:disqus i install the Ex kernel and Now I want to Remove it from my nexus 5 but i don’t won’t to delete my all data in the phone 😐 how i can do that? my battery life is so bad ! ! how i can remove it from NRT?
Advanced utilities > fastboot flash > boot > restore stock kernel
it doesn’t download any file !!!! When Check update he tell me i can’t download any file why ?? 🙁
It seems androidfilehost was having some issues earlier today, try again.
i can’t download update files !!!!!
should the phone be on or in fastboot mode or how do you do this?
same here, can’t download at all
WugFresh, Im a complete rooting newbie but am trying it anyway. I have a Nexus 7 (2012) 5.1.1
I was able to root successfully but Busybox wont install. I keep getting the “it looks like busybox is installed but it does not appear to be the version you selected to have installed” box. Any help with this would be appreciated.

Hey WugFresh, thanks for everything. I was looking for this feature that was available in prev version settings. Enable “No Wipe Mode” thanks in advance
You will find this after hitting ‘Flash Stock + Unroot’ button.
missing the following build: NRD90R
Will get it added shortly. Androidfilehost is still performing some maintenance tasks.
Nexus 5x
Android 7
The Dependency Downloader doesn’t work now. Ive got a Nexus 6. I will not find TWRP 3.0.2.0. So I downloaded it manually. Even after I browsed for is and applied it, it still said “NRT file download incomplete, hashcheck-mismatch….2.1.9 WTF
For those having download issues, its due to androidfilehost performing some upgrades/maintenance. Give them a little bit of time.
I tried to return the nexus 7 in factory condition by using NRT, simply
click on flash stock + unroot and got fucking brick ! Thank you!!!!
Thanks for all your hard work WugFresh, and you are highly appreciated.
Cheers!
I’m trying to flash the marshmallow google factory image MOB31e and it came up as a zip file instead of the usual .tgz image. When I unpacked it, I got all kinds of different files. How do I flash this to my Nexus 6 using the NRT?
Don’t unpack it. The zip file is the package the program wants. Using “Flash Stock” it can handle these new zip style factory packs in the latest v2.1.9. Assuming you are downloading the correct file. Don’t confuse them with the OTA zips
How do I know the difference? I’ve always have just used what was presented on the Google factory image web page.
Then you should be good. To clarify, there are sub-pages on googles site.
The correct FACTORY images are here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
The OTA files are here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/ota
Also the OTA files have OTA in the file name, which the kit will actually look for and give you a message to prevent this mistake, so actually no worries. I nearly forgot I coded in that failsafe.
Thanks, Wug
Everything worked out fine.
after using “flash stock + unroot”, my nexus 7 3g 32Gb (4.4.4) connects to PC only in APX mode. be careful!!!!i think, i need new motherboard…
I’ve been using NRT for 3 years on my Nexus 7 2013 wi-fi tablet with never a problem. Tonight, however, NRT is not seeing the Google ADB drivers on my Windows 10-64 system. It won’t auto-detect and the driver test fails. Windows sees the tablet just fine, both generic and MTP. I have updated the Nexus on this computer before, the only difference is installing Microsoft’s latest few big updates.
I just tried it on another Windows 10-64 system with all the latest upgrades, same result. I then tried another Nexus 2013 wi-fi, the only difference being that it is unrooted, and same thing. I tried NRT v2.1.6 and v2.1.9.
I’ve uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled them multiple times, rebooting in-between.
Both computers were working fine before.
Any thoughts? Thanks!
I’ve been using NRT for around 3 years now on my Nexus 7 2013 wifi without a problem. Suddenly now the standard Google ADB drivers aren’t working. Perhaps Microsoft’s latest updates to the Windows 10-64 operating system? I’ve tested on two systems with two different Nexus 7 2013 wi-fi tablets. This is the same computer I’ve used to updates previously. Windows itself works fine in both generic and MTP modes.
Has anything changed? I tried it with NRT v2.1.9 and v2.1.6 with the same results.
Thanks for any hints!
Nothing that I know of specifically. Have you tried an alternate USB cable? Maybe its just a bad cable.
Yes, I tried several cables yesterday, another today. Windows MTP works fine with all cables. Have now uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers with rebooting a dozen times with no luck. Two Windows 10-64 computers, two tablets, same results. The same computer worked fine for updates in the past with no problems whatsoever.
Thanks!
OK, all is working again. What I did was a) open Device Manager and uninstall all Nexus drivers, b) open USBDeview and uninstall all Nexus drivers, then c) uninstall NRT itself, and when it asks, also uninstall all the ADB drivers. Then just reinstall NRT and it is all working again! I suspect the Windoze updates fried something.
Hope this helps someone else!
Thank you for the update. Windows is wonky with drivers, glad you got it resolved.
Tried different cables. New info – just dug up an ancient Windows 7 laptop and installed NRT. No problems whatsoever, updated to ‘x’. Same cable. So it is something on the two Windows 10-64 computers.
Hi there Wugfresh. GoodDay. I just wanna ask. I recently bought Nexus 5x. And i see nougat is ready for update. But before that Ive found out on internet that some users that updated from MM to Nougat got stuck on bootloop and seems they cant figured it out i dont know if its model related(h791/h798). Google Employee says hardware. and request for a replacement.
Im afraid that if i update via OTA just like them. chances it might or might not happen to me. and if did, can your tool save me? or should i root and manually update to nougat via NRT instead, is it safer? Thank You very much 😊
BtW: im on
LG H791 Android 6.0
Build MDA89E
Security Patch Oct.1,2015
Bootloops are never really a big issue. As long as you backup your data so you don’t have to worry about wiping, and you have an unlocked bootloader – then you can manually boot into bootloader mode and reflash stock – bringing you to a clean state. So yes, NRT can help to restore your device. That said, you need an unlocked bootloader. A device with a locked bootloader – leaves the user with very limited options to fix it. So if your bootloader is still locked, then you may want to unlock it (which requires a data wipe) using the UNLOCK button; and in that case, you may as well also use NRT to just update to nougat directly – which you can do by selecting “Flash Stock + Unroot” and then choosing the latest nougat build available in the flash stock interface.
Wow. Nice to know. thanks for this great toolkit. oh and by the way. when you say unlocked bootloader does it mean OEM unlocked? ive already ticked that, should i disable it and proceed to NRT’s Unlock or i can use NRT’s Unlock with the OEM Unlocking is switch on. And also USB Debugging is switch ON. thanks
Use the “Unlock” button in NRT – thats what I mean (note that this procedure will wipe data). “Enabling OEM unlocking” is simply a device security setting that is required for the “Unlock” procedure to work (just ticking it doesn’t actually unlock the device, just enables you to do so), however if you had not already enabled this, NRT would have figured it out and told you. Yes, in order for NRT to communicate with your device (for most of its operations), USB debugging should be enabled.
Thanks Wugfresh! tc
I keep getting ” factory pack is named in an unconvetional / unfamilar format. can not proceed” … thoughts? Trying to flash a nexux 5x to the bullhead MCT20K

louda lusun
mera beta gaali kyu de raha hai ?
just to let you know the version of TWPR for Nexus 6p and 5x is 3.0.2-2 and you are still downloading 3.0.2-0
great program wug! have used successfully on nexus player untill i used it on nugat build NRD90R. it sucessfully boots but superuser isnt installed . the zip is in the ready to flash folder. what can i do to fix this?
Hello guys, im trying to root for the first time. I have a Nexus 6p 7.0 with build NRD90M, this build doesnt exist in the options to choose build. What can i do?
Hey Nug.
Im trying to root for the first time. I connected my service (Nexus 6p 7.0) and tried to first make a backup.. when pressing ‘ok’ the log says that it reboots my service but nothing happened and then ‘waiting for device’ screen is on and still nothing happens.. any help?
Hi wugfresh. I just wanted to inform you that SuperSU is not trustworthy any longer. It’s been bought by a Chinese company named CCMT which is quite shady (suggest you look it up). If it is possible, could you implement the option to use superuser instead ? Thank you wugfresh for all your hard work, we appreciate you! 🙂
Hello, yes I have been following the recent news about CCMT taking over. I will be working this weekend to implement the use of phh superuser and also Magisk, as an alternative root option in NRT. I can’t say definitely that CCMT is shady, but I definitely understand the concern. I am happy to build in these additional root options in the upcoming release. Cheers!
I don’t think need to worry. Chainfire continues to build SuperSU himself, separately from CCMT.
@wugfresh:disqus can further use Chainfire`s variant, not CCMT`s.
Hi. Does anyone know where to find magnet links for factory images? Need to have Bullhead NRD90S downloaded for Nexus 5X.
WugFresh, this isn’t a question or anything, I just wanted to say thanks. You put so much time into this and beyond the actual toolkit, you continually help people here in the comments and elsewhere. You’re an awesome developer and I hope people are donating! You deserve it.
Hello WugFresh, I have a small question, your program on which lenguage is made? C? C++?
Its built with AutoIT: https://www.autoitscript.com/site/autoit/
Nexus 9 – Build MOB30M – v6.0.1 – WiFi Tablet
NRT 2.1.9 downloaded this morning. Tried the process on Win10 64-bit and Win7 64-bit computers. Using factory cable.
Device was able to Unlock without error. Failing to root the device.
When teamwin temp boots, it ends up in a loop and finally asks me for a password to Mount Decrypt Data. There is no password to this device.
Thoughts on how to proceed?
Does “Flash Stock + Unroot” remove TWRP Recovery?
Yes, but you can always reflash it.
rootkit not detecting the zip file of nexus 5 i downloaded from the official site. please help

After Updating and Rooting with no problems using V2.1.9
Nexus 6 MOB31E
I can not edit the system/build.prop to enable Tethering
I used ADB shell
echo net.tethering.noprovisioning=true>>/system/build.prop
and i get
Not enough space on /system/ to edit build.prop , I can not Find any new info on the New Build , It has worked in the past.
Any help would be great.
Thanks RT BLUZZ
You have to delete some files from the system folder to make room. I typically remove the IME folders since English is my primary language.
Thanks for the Insight you have any reference to any forms on this I’ve never had to do this before just out of curiosity do you know what has changed with the upgrade
This IME folders in not listed under System is it hidden
I will look into this more. If it requires some workarounds to make space, maybe I can check for this criteria/situation first and automate the task.
Any Update
Hi WugFresh, thank you for this work.
I have a problem with my Nexus 5X, it has a bootloop. Since i have important data, i tried a backup first. But after installing the drivers, the ADB Recovery Connectivity test fails.
So before unlocking the device i should make a backup but a buckup is only possible if the device is unlocked?! :S
When unlocked you have more backup options, like full nandroid backups. But you can use the create *.ab backup file without being unlocked, once you sort your adb drivers. Alternatively you can look on the playstore for apps that perform backups.
When i try a virtual SD Card backup from the fastbootload, i get the message that i have to update the drivers. I tried all solutions beginning with #5 and #4, then deleting all drivers but it’s stuck, any tips? (what would i need an app for if the phone isn’t starting at all?)
HI there WugFresh, How r u doin. Recently, ive successfully rooted and flashed my Nexus 5x without any conflict with the latest build last time (From MDA89E to NRD90S) Using your powerful NRT Toolkit. So, now there is a new patch for Nexus 5x (NBD90W). can i update my nougat using your NRT? should I download an OTA build outside or a factory image is a must? is it possible to update without getting wipe? Basically, if youre in my position how would you update it. Thank you very much.
Use the “Flash Stock + Unroot” with “No wipe” mode, then root again afterwards. Cheers.
I have a rooted Nexus 6P with TWRP 3.0.2-3 and SU 2.78, with Android N NRD90U.
How can I do the update to NBD90X, without losing the root and the data?
Thank you.
Use the “Flash Stock + Unroot” with “No wipe” mode, then root again afterwards if you want to.
Hello and thanks.
“No wipe” so as not to lose data?
To make “Flash stock + Unroot” I already have the factory image NBD90X, or the toolkit makes download from Google Developers?
Thank.
Yes, you won’t lose data with that option. The toolkit will auto download it.
Thank you Wugfresh for your great work.
I have a rooted Nexus 6P with TWRP 3.0.2-3 and SU 2.78, with Android N NRD90U.
How can I do the update to NBD90X?
Thank you.
Hi WugFresh, I’m flashing a Nexus 6 with nougat with NRT all gone well, but I can’t relock the bootloader with the script because nougat now won’t allow select the option unlock bootloader in developer option, the option is shown grayed out, is there any other way around? Many thanks!
If the option is greyed out, its probably enabled and greyed out – meaning it shouldn’t be required. Boot your device into bootloader mode and relock your device with NRT, it should work.
Many thanks for your reply, unfortunately this won’t work because despite the option being grayed out, is in the off position and when you restart the phone you see the padlock icon open at the bottom of the screen and the bootloader seems to be unlocked and the relock bootloader script fail.
I see. You probably need to flash stock first, so you are back to a fully stock build before relocking
Is it possible to use a different root program other than SuperSU without having to flash twrp and it manually?
In an upcoming NRT release, there will be an option.
OK thanks a bunch, is there an eta?
With My nexus 7 (2013 wifi) and 2.1.9 I have the issue that it keeps going in and out of usb charge only mode constantly and windows makes it’s device detect sound. I cannot get 2.1.9 to work since the update. I tried a reinstall and it fails the same.
I am on win7
Any ideas
oops.. a full re-install including everything seems to have helped sorry
Its ok, glad it was resolved.
Don’t know if this has been asked yet or not, but will NRT support Pixel phones?
I aim to support the Pixel devices, yes. And will likely rename the toolkit at that time.
I need help. Whenever I put my phone(nexus 5) in recovery mode and try to reset it to factory settings, it says “E: can’t mount file (no such file or directory)” . It’s stuck on google logo. What do I do? Is it a software or hardware issue?
I’m trying to use nrt to root BUT when the program goes into the boot loader, the fast boot can’t connect with the phone. What am I doing wrong and what should I be sing to correct this?
Whatever file I’m trying to use on NRT encounters a hashcheck mismatch, whether or not it has been downloaded from NRT itself. For example, when I try to install a custom recovery, the file downloaded automatically fails the hash check, and also the file I manually download fails it too.
I installed nougat and root my nexus 6 and Snapchat won’t log in for some reason
Hallo WugFresh,
Android 7 for Nexus 9 LTE is out.
Please, can you update NRT the next days 😉
Thanks
Cool. Will do the moment I get a chance. I will aim to get it done tonight
The new version was NRD90R but I’ve just got an OTA-Update to version NRD91D, the 10-2016 Update.
For now this version isn’t available in the Factory Images Downloads – maybe the next days.
Build number M4B30X is available in latest edition of nexus root toolkit???
I can’t find the unlock bootloader option. Can someone tell me how to get past this issue? Thanks in advance.
Hi @wugfresh:disqus
THANK you for developing this tool! I have successfully unlocked and rooted my 6P using your tool (Build NBD90X), and I have the latest iteration of TWRP on my phone. However, I am running into issues when flashing ROMs onto my device using the Open Recovery Script Flash Manager. I have downloaded the snapshot of the latest release for Cyanogenmod and then used the Open Recovery Script Flash Manager. However, after it is done flashing the ROM, my phone is stuck on the Google screen that appears when you first turn on your phone.
The only way I get around this is to use your Flash Stock + Unroot tool.
Do you know why the ROM is not successfully being flashed?
WugFresh
UPDATE After Updating To NBD90Z on Nexus 6 Verizon Networks and Using Your Tweak Build.prop Tethering is Working Great! Just had to ADD net.tethering.noprovisioning=true and Apply Tweak working 100% Thanks Keep Up The Great Work!
Having problems with NRT in windows 10. My current device is Nexus 6 64g. Every time i launch NRT i get an error saying it did not start correctly. I have tried running in compatibility mode and run as administrater. Nothing seems to work. Anyone else having this problem?
So I am running NRD90M, I used the toolkit and used flash stock + unroot, selecting the factory build of NRD90U hoping it would flash, everything went fine, but as I look to see what build I have I’m still on NRD90M…..did I miss something?
hey if i want to restore stock/flash stock for nexus 5
will it wipe my internal Sdcard ?
I just used the toolkit to upgrade to android 7.1.1 beta and rooted on Nexus 6P. Everythings running fine. Thanks Wugfresh.
Thank you for the Toolkit! I rooted a brand new 6p with NBD90X. The only issue I had was with the initial driver that auto-loaded, and got the dreaded ADB/Fastboot error. Took a bit of digging (no complaints really) but your instructions were certainly clear enough. I uninstalled that old driver and other suspect Android stuff, and the correct driver loaded just fine. Once that was done, rooting / flashing was no problem. HOWEVER (nothing against you.. read on), some of my apps weren’t really happy with Nougat, and I was able to easily, and successfully, downgrade to Marshmallow / MTC20L, and re-root. I am certainly going to donate to you, and to this very fine toolkit. The only downside, thus far, to rooting the device is – as has been mentioned before, and which I was aware of in advance – Android Pay does not work. Google Authenticator, however, works just fine FYI. And there are alternatives to Android Pay, so if they can’t take a joke.. yadda yadda yadda.
Just posted a few paragraphs on how happy I am with your toolkit, but my posting somehow got rejected as spam, which it ain’t. Go figure. For now I’ll just say that I’m quite pleased with NRT, and I made a donation as well. On a brand new 6p (ST/AT&T), I tried Nougat NBD90X but there were issues with some of my apps. Downgraded to Marshmallow MTC20L, re-rooted and am quite happy. Thanks!
Nexus 6 Nougat. The toolkit will not restore my files. I can see the files names being restored but once I open my apps drawers, none of the files are there. Please advise. Thanks
can i unlock then root and install twrp then relock the bootloader and still have working root and twrp?
@wugfresh
ok so i have a nexus 6p with nougat nrd90m build number. now, when i connect it to the tookit it fails to register the build number…it does however pop up and say my build is nrd90m but it doesnt have the selection under the builds. now how do i get this to work properly? kik mcconnell44 or email me at jessymcconnell22@gmail. thank you
i used this program very happily but it doesn’t work on nexus 5x NBD90W 🙁
am i wrong?
I have the same problem
two devices nexus 5x
unlocking and rooting and TWRP no problem
but just the “google-screen” after flashing CM and gapps
softbrick and flashing stockROM no problem then
but ends always the same
maybe a prob with TWRP because it ends like this when i install zip with TWRP
sometimes problems with “push files”… it says “sucess” but sometimes there is no file.. ??
My apologies for being a total idiot, but one thing (for me) that ISN’T 100% obvious. Should I download all the software above to my PC or Tablet. (I appreciate it’s obvious to you guys, but it’s not to me). So far I’ve downloaded to the PC, connected my tablet via a USB cable to the PC and started running the NRT_v2.1.9.sfx.exe file.
Following the instructions was simple, until I got a window with with the text “you may need to uncheck ‘MTP'” . Couldn’t see that anywhere on the developer screen – was I not looking properly or was it somewhere else ?
I’m trying to root a Nexus 7 2012, android 5.1.1 and build LMY47V.
After editing this, I’m re-posting, hoping it’s not flagged again as spam…. BTW I encourage you to make a donation, as I did, if you find the toolkit useful. Shameless plug by very pleased actual user here.
Thank you for the Toolkit! I rooted a brand new 6p with NBD90X. The only issue I had was with the initial driver that auto-loaded -I had the phone connected to the pc some time before installing NRT, and I was rewarded with the dreaded ADB -Fastboot error. Took a bit of digging (no complaints really) but your instructions were certainly clear enough. Using the Toolkit’s Utility screen, I uninstalled that old driver + other suspect Android stuff, and the correct driver loaded just fine. Once that was done, rooting – flashing was no problem.
HOWEVER – nothing against you.. read on – some of my apps weren’t really happy with Nougat, and I was able to easily, and successfully, downgrade to Marshmallow – MTC20L, and re-root. The only downside, thus far, to rooting the device is – as has been mentioned before, and which I was aware of in advance – Android Pay does not work. Google Authenticator, however, works just fine FYI. And there are alternatives to Android Pay, so if they can’t take a joke..
Also: the AT&T tethering fix – edit of build.prop + ADP command when in recovery – works fine. In TWRP, simply selecting mount, clicking the checkbox for System and making sure read-only is unchecked does the trick. There is no additional “mount” command – this was confusing to me for a minute. After rebooting the phone, you will need to wait a few sec before you can enable tethering. Really nice to simply fire up the toolkit, go to Utilities, and get a command prompt from there. No muss, no fuss.
doesn’t support andriod 7.1.1 NPF10C
I can confirm is currently not supporting 7.1.1 NPF10C – does unlock, does not root, does not correctly “flash”/”get past” TWRP.
Root without flashing TWRP, I keep the Recovery on stock so I can get OTA updates without having to jump through hoops. Worked for me.
Wugfresh,
Have nexus 6 on tmobile. android 7 NBD90z. When I try to root. It boots up to TWRP and then stops and gives all teh tab options. The WUGfresh program tells me to update device driver which I did, but continues to get stuck? Any recommendations on how to complete process? Thanks
I think it keeps getting stuck and “unable to mount.”
On Nexus 5x and Nougat 7.0 (OTA update recently). Unable to install TWRP. Do we need to use TWRP 2.8.7 instead?
No problems unlocking bootloader
There isn’t a 7.0 specific twrp problem, no. Can you provide more details about “unable to install” – what do you mean. What do you do, and what happens.
Installing TWRP would not hold on reboot immediately afterwards in Nougat. Searched elsewhere and found the solution – need to root (maybe only boot to TWRP) device after installing TWRP for it to hold.
I tried downgrading before going back to my favorite ROM and it put me in a boot loop where it will boot into the animation for 1 to 2 seconds and then reboot endlessly repeating this. No matter what ROM or OTA I flash it doesn’t boot. I tried wiping system and caches and reinstalling several different OTAs
Have you tried the “Flash Stock” with “Softbrick/bootlooping” mode?
This was the only tool I used to get my nexus 5 (cm installer – which was apparently riddled with security problems) to be authorized as an adb device. Fastboot worked via command prompt without issue but adb would not recognize it!
THANK YOU!
Has something changed? I’ve used the toolkit to mod and root 4 devices. Nexus 5 and 5X and also the 6P. I’m on NRT 2.1.9 which seems to be the latest and have not messed with any of the drivers for ADB or Fastboot and it seemed to stop working. When I OEM unlock it recognizes the ADB and boots into bootloader then fastboot comes on and it fails, retries then gives up. i am of course on android 7.0 build number NBD90W
Hello Wugfresh,
I have bootloop issue with Nexus 6P. I’ve tried using the Flash Stock + Unroot (Softbricked/Bootloop) using the lastest factory image from Google but I’m still stuck at bootloop. Please help.
You’ll need to send it into the factory for warranty work. I had the same issue and it turned out the logic board was faulty
hi,
my nexus 6 got bricked i think. when i use this program always is written “fastboot reason: fall-through from normal boot” and nothing happen. can anyone help me about this?
I have done factory reset on my rooted Nexus 6p what should I do
Hello WugFresh,
the November-ROM-Updates are available.
Please, can you update NRT – we’re still waiting 😉
The toolkit works as is. Just go to the Android images page and download the factory image you want. Flash stock and unroot then select the option to flash using the image you downloaded. Your device will identify as “any version”. Then go ahead and root. It works. I just did it on my Nexus 9.
I confirm that I did so with my Nexus 5X.
Where’s the google pixel support?
Google has been slow getting me the device. Trying to get it resolved.
Might have to do it manually if you need help let me know bro
Any chance of Pixel and Pixel XL support?
I don’t think soo
After/around Christmas time I should have it all ready.
Saw your post from mid-October re: incorporating Magisk. Any progress????
How about adding the ability to detect new builds for a device and offer to upgrade? As is, I do a flash-all followed by the root command in NRT. But that resets my device twice. I’d prefer none.
Hi. Thanks for the tools. I made the test for downgrade 5x in 6.0.1 and that s perfectly work. But when I test for the 6p the falsh don t work for the next version of 6.0.1. seems to have crash and not flash the system. I have the november nougat rom. Thanks for helping me.
how come when I try to back up my stuff, it reboots the phone and than stalls at “waiting for phone”
all my drivers are installed
This happens quite a lot to me too. You just have to disconnect the USB cable from the phone and reconnect it.
This works for bypassing the frp?
Thanks for your work. It’s served me well, many times. I couldn’t handle my ever-evolving phone mess without you, Wug!
Cheers, bruv.

I’m interested in this, too, as I have the same device (I had no problem updating my device, though).

Thanks I went through the same process because I needed to recover a photo of a document that got one click pocket deleted. I gave up after I realized that unlocking the bootloader wipes the device!
couldnt flash （soft-bricked/bootloop）.
Nexus Root Toolkit v2.1.9 has gone…
thanks.
I just want to know if it is possible to use this with the Pixel XL ? I love this tool I used it every day since Nexus 4 stopped using it with the 6p but now I want the pixel and I do want to root and unlock so any idea ?
Not yet. But it will support it soon.
It supports YOTAPHONE 1?
Does this work on Nexus 5 6.0.1 (build M4B30X)?
i cant find my nexus build no in the list of nrt ( build no. is MDB08M)…..needed help..
Hello all,
Has someone tried to update his Nexus 5X to android 7.1.1 (NMF26F, Dec 2016) and rooted it with NRT 2.1.9?
Thanks for your feedback & thanks to Wugfresh for his amazing job!
Regards,
I updated my phone with Nexus Root Toolkit with the OTA file for the January 5th 2017 security patch and my phone was fine.
Hello ,
I Can’t find my nexus 6 release file support :
7.0.0 (NBD91P , NBD91S & NBD91PU)
Can you please advise
First let me say thank you for creating such an awesome piece of software! I used this a couple years ago with my Nexus Player and was able to root and install full android. I have a question, I am wanting to take my NP back to stock. Is it a pretty simple process with this tool? Thanks in advance!
Yes, the flash stock button makes this simple.
Hey, what’s the deal? Nexus 7 2012 is not supported by Wugfresh?? What are we supposed to use??
You can root it and push the updates via ADB.
LIKE A BARBARIAN. The horror…the horror.
I used NRT to carry out a complete wipe / reinstall / root of my Nexus 7 (2012, WiFi only) just a few weeks ago….it worked perfectly. I installed Nakasi 5.1.1 (LMY47V). It’s running very smoothly (though of course it’s not super-fast compared to my newer phone, because the tablet hardware is now ~4 years old)
WugFresh, could you, at least, update the materials list so that the latest images are available via NRT 2.1.9…. Thanks.
I’m sure you know this, but for others who do not: it’s possible to DL the factory image yourself, then use NRT to install it. That’s what I did for the latest security releases. Just google for “nexus factory images” and that’ll take you to the official page.
Yes, sorry about the delay on this one – I have been really busy. I just uploaded everything and updated the masterlists.
Just a heads up, your TWRP recovery link is not working. It takes you to a file not found page. I tried to download the file directly from TWRP but the hash did not match.
I am a noob in terms of android developer tools but I have a little trouble, I can’t enter in wugfresh web page in any place or any of my devices.. is it on tecnical problems or reparations? I apologise for my English level.
WugFresh will you be supporting the pixel devices? Thanks
The WugFresh web page is working again (for me at least) but NRT can’t download twrp-3.0.2-2-bullhead.img file so, it’s imposible for me to root my device, it doesn’t allow me do it without downloading twrp file before. Please help me Mr. Wug.
Stumbled upon this because I was informed that my bootloader was unlocked which now prevents use of Android pay. Is there a simple way to lock the bootloader without wiping out the device or reverting back to older Android version?
what phone you have? on n5 there was a program called bootlocker oe something similar that could lock and unlock at will and it would evenbe reflected in the opened or closed padlock. First run still wiped. 5x I’ve found nothing.
I know it’s over a week late, but NRT can lock and unlock bootloaders on nexus devices, as well as the Pixel C tablet (phones coming in the future from what I understand). If you don’t have a nexus, and have an unlocked device, I’m guessing you bought a used phone or something and should be careful with that for any forms of payment. Almost all non-Nexus android phones cannot be unlocked, bootloader wise, through normal ADB commands. Most are crackable but not without some serious work, and since you’re seemingly unaware of how it got unlocked; whoever you got the device from could be questionable. No new android device comes unlocked, and android pay’s bootloader check is in place for this exact reason. Unlocked phones sold to unaware people could have who knows what installed on them.
With nexus devices, I don’t think there is any way to unlock/relock a device without a full wipe, though. There used to be, but later versions of android had some changes that prevented it. NRT unlocked my Nexus 6 in seconds, as well as my pixel C and previous nexus 5, but it always involved a wipe.
my anti virus says the nexus root toolkit has a trojan file inside it, can u explain why. is there a file being seen as one but isnt or is the anti virus at fault. i tried this app and loved it. the down load came from softpedia link

Please tell me which Anti Virus you use so I can contact them. Thank you!
I used NRT, followed all instructions, backed up the environment on my Nexus 9, installed the Nethunter for Marshmallow zip file from offensive security on my Nexus 9 with TWRP, and now I’m caught in a boot loop. I can’t get TWRP to load at all to do a recovery. I can’t even restore to factory default. How do I fix this?????
NO~~~
Nexus 6P can’t use OEM Lock after Flash Stock +Unroot(nmf26f).
Android Pay……
I had the same issue on Nexus 6. Manually boot into bootloader, and then use the lock button. Works the same way as far as I can tell (if your option is greyed out).
Thank!
I was learned use command windows and I was did it.
will nexus 6 version 7.0 nuget work. NBD90z. if not. is their a way to make it work or revert back to a early OS. like a compatible OS
i’ll pay a nice fee if i can get a working version of nethunter for nexus 6 7.0 nougat NBD90Z. my email is malicewizard@gmail.com

The problem is with Marshmallow 6.0.1 and SR2
It works fine with with v2.79
How do I download superSU v 2.79
can you please give me a link
I thought that the latest version of SuperSU will be backward compatible ie with marshmallow
It should be, likely Chainfire is not aware of this issue you are having.
Why does the Nexus Factory Image Downloader go so slow? Everything else is fine on my end but I have been downloading the downgrade to 4.4.4. for 5 hours now and only at 57%!
All the files are hosted on Android File Host – its possible that they were experiencing some heavy traffic. The factory images are also large files (can be more than 1GB), so depending on your internet connection they can take longer.
Thanks for the reply. I have a good internet connection must have been something else. I sorted it out another way following your instructions and downloaded the factory image myself and then used the kit. It worked! Thanks so much for this, my Nexus 7 tablet runs great now that i am back to Kit Kat 🙂 Don’t know why Lollipop is such a problem with them, seems to be something with the wi-fi as it worked fine when that was turned off – not ideal though.
Hello, does this work on Android 7.0? I have nexus 10 and LG v20 unrooted and I would like to use this to backup and restore my app data. Is this possible? Helium is not working for me and I am out of option. Thank you.
WugFresh,
Sorry if this was covered already, but I’m getting the following error when I click “Change…” under “Your model type”:
AutoIt Error
Line 20357 (File “C:Program Files (x86)WugFresh DevelopmentNexus Root ToolkitNexusRootToolkit.exe”):
Error: Subscript used on non-accessible variable.
I just recently updated the app, and it indicated that it downloaded all necessary files. I also had to manually update for the hashcheck to work, and everything went well. I imported the masterlists successfully also. Not sure what’s going on. Did I miss something?
ps. I ran an backup for my device also, and that went fine.
I’m getting the same shit too..
And it seems like the forums are down too.
Hey guys, sorry if there are issues – I will make sure to investigate this weekend.
Just a short note to verify I’m having the same problem. v2.19. Nexus 6 running 7.1.1
Me too!
Same on my Nexus 6
how long till the pixel or pixel xl is included in the toolkit?
Hi WugFresh,
Thanks for the toolkit. I would like to check one of the errors I am receiving though. I ran the command adb devices and I was able to see my Nexus 7 2013 device, but when i try to run step 4 of the full driver installation guide, it says that adb device was not found. Is this a problem with windows 10, my nexus, or just my computer?
If it helps, I tried to auto detect the model and build and it doesn’t work as well.
Thanks!
Google pixel support please ?
Yes, I am going to make it happen. Google seriously delayed me – but I am going to crank it out soon
Which one did you end up getting, the Pixel or the Pixel XL? What do you think of it?
I am willing to get the XL Quite Black with a Grey Daydream. Some time later when it becomes a little cheaper. For now I have the 5X Ice Blue 32GB and I am satisfied with it.
how about mac os support!
The SuperSU zip on androidfilehost is gone.
Any Update on that? Same problem here
Will this stage work on my Chromebook running chrome OS?
When selecting “Unlock Bootloader” the prompt with “Oem unlocking must be turned on” appeared every freaking time, but on the Developer options, but I couldnt turn it on or off because it was greyed out, so what I did was close the prompt, and in the windows where it says to unlock it manually or automatically, I did nothing there but opened Adavanced Utilites in the main window, and then select the Reboot Bootloader.
My phone went to the bootloader screen, and there it said “The device is unlocked”, so I went back to the Unlock window in the toolkit , proceed as normal and it worked! Now my phone is Rooted again in my Nexus 6
thankyou very much
@wugfresh:disqus
Hey WugFresh,
I am willing to root my Nexus 5X with your NRT as I saw that my friend rooted his Nexus 6 using your toolkit and it functions seamlessly.
I love stock Android, but would like to have Xposed and Root-only apps. So, I would like to root only without custom recovery (I will uncheck the Custom Recovery box) but the steps will change, because my N6 friend showed me doing it with Custom Recovery, Can you please tell me how to do it without custom recovery? I beg you I need it. Pls. reply!
And BTW is build Android 7.1.1 in the build list just in case I want to flash stock Android? Thanks BEST developer
@wugfresh:disqus
Hey Wug,
I known how to root it without custom recovery but a question:
When rooting without custom recovery, will it wipe or factory reset? Or is it like any other root without wiping? Pls. Reply because if it does wipe I’m gonna backup before (I know I should backup anyway but just a question)
I keep getting hash check failures. I download the zips from both google and AFH. Even when i select for NRT to download automatically… they fail. Any thoughts?
I’m having the exact same issue. Mismatch error when trying to update NRT. Any chance of this getting fixed?
I was trying to do it at work. For whatever reason, it didn’t want to update to the latest hash. Once I got home, I was able to proceed
Doesn’t work on Nexus 10?
Nexus 10 is listed as supported now.
For some reason when I try to modify the build.prop on my N6 it won’t temporarily boot into TWRP…any ideas?
Hi, I have a soft bricked Nexus 7 (2012). When I try to unlock the bootloader, by pressing ‘flash stock and unroot’ button. Unlock bootloader appears on my device, but when I press it, my device switches off. The NRT live log recognises my device and lists my serial number. Any ideas why my device switches off and won’t unlock the bootloader? Thanks in advance.
Amazing software!
phh’s superuser as root option please
Is this project dead? This was the best root toolkit out there, hands down. Can the Pixel get some love?
Its not, I just have been swamped. I have set aside a good chunk of time over this upcomming weekend and the following to really hammer it out, I have some good updates coming.
Thanks for the reply Wug. No disrespect intended, I was just wondering. I remember you going back to good old Droid Forums and the OG Droid, and my crack clashing days…lol
None taken. I love this project and it makes me happy when I update it. I will allocate the time and get it out 🙂
Awesome. It finally looks like development is starting to pick up for the Pixels.
OMG OMG OMG lol I wish i had the option to post a gif response.
cant wait to see those updates wugg .
Will the windows version play nice with WINE on Ubuntu, or am I stuck typing the commands?
how to update twrp 3.0.2 to twrp 3.0.3 for nexus 4 through wugg fresh tool kit. can someone list the steps involved.
theres nothing wrong witha nexus 5x. tehr are all kinds of mods an tweeks. i would probably jsut stick with mynexus 5x.til ther isanothe nexus type device whihc i hear rumor that google wwill be partnering up with boht LG and huaweri ot make it happen in the distant fefuture as discorer our friends program with hte prue andorid experience under hteh ood of htesedevices with more affordable prices liek the nexus 5x and 6p and then giv ehte developer community more love.
This may be a dumb question but does this work with Android 7.1.1?
yesss it does
Build number N4F26O of Nexus 5X was not exist
please make it.
There will make add Pixel and Pixel XL for unlock bootloader?
Purchased a pixel today, working on it now
Oh my god… Cant wait.
Oh my god. Cant wait for unlock bootloader!!!
pls add Google Pixel support! You are doing a great software!
I purchased today, and am starting dev work immediately
thx!!!! your work does help many! simply, professionally and efficiently. Since you have to take an example!
hey Mr.Wug have thought about creating a one stop root solution for all android oems?
I am trying to root a 6P. I have unlocked the boot loader but when i click root plus flash custom recovery it hangs right after temporarily booting twrp. it just loops through checking ADB recovery conectivity. ideas?
Please try updating to latest masterlists 3149 and re-attempting
Do you need to enable OEM unlocking in the settings for this to work?
+1
Yes you do. Have gotten stuck a couple times because I forgot to enable it.
After having all my Nexus phones stolen because I was homeless 5 of them. I finally bought a google pixel, really cool with the virtual reality. The view in virtual reality is a bit pixelated though. Still very fun! Anyway it has Android 7.1.1 which you do have but the build number is NOF26V which you do not have as of yet.
The next version of the toolkit is on it way providing a complete support to Google devices. Big thanks to Wugfresh for this amazing software.
@mehdielmehrous:disqus When can it be expected?
hey can this software downgrade to kitkat from lollipop without any other downloads?? or is there other files required to so is there an easier way to downgrade ???
So I havent rooted a phone since the G2, I am wondering if the MOB31Q build AFTER the Dec 5 build will work? Thank you !
Android O Preview please!!!
Tried to root my Nexus 5 6.0.1. it did unlock the boot loader and looked like it rooted the device but in the end i don’t find the SuperSU app and when i run BusyBox after i installed it manually it says the device is not rooted.Can anyone please help?
Thank’s for MasterList Update to 3150 😉
And just my answer to some other posters – use your brain – not your keyboard !!!
Hi, i tried to flash the March update with NRT, but i get an error (too many links) when trying to write the system file (3/6). I then rolled back to the Febuary update, there the flashing went smooth as always.
Any ideas?
Oh, i am on Nexus 5X
Hello,
I have a Nexus 7 (2012) with stock 5.1.1. It’s not rooted/unlocked. The tablet is in a constant bootlop, it boots, gets past the animation and the Android logo, shows the normal screen after boot (top bar, time, shows if usb debugging is being used), but it freezes for a couple of seconds and then reboots and shows the Google logo, it started doing that after using the BBC app with chromecast, I take good care of it. I don’t want to lose my data.
If I let the tablet boot, ADB sees the device but shows unauthorized and because android freezes as soon as it shows the first screen, there’s no time to accept the RSA KEY. I’ve tried sideloading AromaFM but I get the ‘signature verification failed’ error. I’ve tried booting TWRP with fastboot but it fails because of the bootloader being locked. I’ve tried adb backup -all in sideload mode but it fails. I’ve wiped cache partition. I’ve opened the tablet and unplugged the battery cable for a few seconds.
-Is there any apps I can sideload to use as file manager?
-Is there a a way to unlock the bootloader without losing personal data?
-Is there a way to prevent android from rebooting?
-Should I try ‘fastboot boot’ with stock files and hope it boots so I can at least copy files?
I am willing to compensate anyone that manages to help me. I am losing faith here.
Thank you so much for taking your time to read this post.
It really means a lot to me.
I used this hint in a similar situation and it worked for me:
Hold the Volume down key while booting. The next bootloop will boot into bootloader.
wugfresh, you are the best thing ever. you gave me my nexus 6p back. it was hardbricked and in a boot loop. i thought i had lost my phone and was devastated by the thought. after much research on google on how to fix bootloop, caame across your software nexus root toolkit which brought my device back to normal and i am using it. i love my device even more now. thanks a lot. you are saving people’s lives metaphorically speaking
Shyam do you have instructions . I am in the boat.
Hey frank, sorry. Read your message today. There are no such instructions as such. You just have to download the Nexus root toolkit, connect your phone to the pc and enter into the bootloader mode of your phone. You can do this by pressing volume down key and then power button for a while. You have to do this after your is switched off or if your phone is in bootloop, just press the power button continuously, after it turns off, just quickly press the volume down key and then the power button. This will take you to the bootloader mode. Once there, open the Nexus root toolkit and click flash stock/unbrick while clicking the sub option currently bricked/bootloop. Rest the software will do the job. Hope it helps
It loops when It try’s to unlock.
Frank, you will have to first enter into bootloader. And only then try to proceed further.
hey…can you create tool kit for pixel nd pixel xl pleaseeeeee
My Nexus 6p is in a bootloop and I never enabled USB debugging. Please, what do I do. I tried using your toolkit but it said something about adb could not be found.
Could you get this resolved?
I sent it to Huawei and they either fixed it or they sent me a new one.
will available android 7 for nexus 7 2013 lte ?
Thanks man, got my Nexus 7 2013 working.
Can I root my N5X without installing custom recovery?
you should be able to restore the original recovery afterwards.
Hello WugFresh,…just wanted to know if planning on a release of PNRT? Have a Pixel XL, I want to root with your program.
latest radio (2.0.50.2.30) and latest bootloader (HHZ20h) will i have these once im unlocking or rooting ?
Hi, I have a Nexus 7 (2012 wi-fi) that I bought when it come out. Never root it or unlock it. Nowadays with 5.1.1 that thing is getting me crazy with its slow speed. In these years I have installed some apps and didn’t want to lose them and their information. Will backup allow me to do a backup and after I flash it with another rom restore all data to the device and use it as in the previous rom (just with more speed)?
My stock Nexus5x has a bootloop will this toolkit clear my bootloop ?
i think so
Hi,
is there any chance to backup device data (Nexus 10) when it is stuck at the Google screen when booting and recovery?
The device is locked/unrooted with stock ROM.
Or a way to get out of the loop ?
This tool fixed my Nexus 5X after it was soft bricked. Donated to WugFresh right after, man thank you you’re a genuis and saved from more hours of trial and failure
there is no option to root an android version 7.1.2, please help.
subscribing – I just got a new 6p from Huawei – waiting root ability with 7.1.2 to jump back on the flashaholic train
I’d love to flash the May security updates with NRT, but it doesn’t seem to even recognize 7.1.2 at all (neither in auto-detect or even in the drop-down). Did something change?
And what happens when we choose “any” ?
did it work? I am also waiting for Nexus 6p 7.1.2 update…
same.
I cant get any of the help videos to play, endless buffering. New with all this and not wanting to have a problem due to mis-steps.
you tube it
I got it figured out without the video
Wug, people like you are the very reason why I still have hope in humanity. The greatest thing humans can do is make something complicated, simple. You my friend have just done that, congratulations, you are amazing.
This worked perfectly on my Google Nexus 7 tablets. I read somewhere recently that this can also be used to root some LG phones like the LG G3 in particular. Is this correct? Or can this only be used on Nexus devices? Anyone know the answer?
Trying to flash the latest 7.1.1 May patch OTA but got an error at the script saying no recovery available for my current build. Please help. Thanks.
Me also have this problem
i tried to flash android O developer preview on nexus 6p but it softbricked. 7.1.2 flash working though.
You need to manually root with SuperSU 2.79 SR4 or Magisk v13 through TWRP. NRT is using an old version (SR3 I believe) which will not work with OPP1 or OPP2. Alternatively you can point NRT to the downloaded SU or Magisk file and it will do the work for you.
I.soft bricked my nexus 7 to too much experimentation installing nougat and gapps. i had no os and stocked on the google logo. Thanks to you and your amazing app, I was able to revive my tab.
Everyone should give $ to this man, cause he’s genius and everyone loves his work. DONATE please
i have made 5 or 6 donations for the years and i agree people should its worth donating to this project since wug does put a lot of time in to it.
Does this work for 7.1.2 on Nexus Player?
Thank you i will donate
What happens if we download the any build root to an and 7.1.2 device
I can’t execute the NRT file. I use Windows 10.
Ditto on Nexus 7 Android 5.1.1
Try running with compatibility mode?
I tried, every possible compatibility. Sometimes it displayed a message like “Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permission to access the item”. I did what it says on the Windows support page, but it didn’t work haha. Then I deleted the file and did it the “hard” way.
Hi! I am having the same error. Did you got it fixed? Hoe?
Well, I couldn’t find a way to make it work. I did it in “manual mode”.
Tks a lot!. Was your cel phone conected to the PC via USB when this error occured?
I don’t remember exactly, but I think it was. But a few days later, I downloaded again, cellphone not connected, but didn’t work again.
NRT file won’t open on Nexus 7. Bummed
Hello Wugfresh,
Is it possible to have the masterlist updated please?
Thanks for your great work!
please push the update
Update for Android 7.1.2 pls!!!!
Looks to me like it’s safe to assume any further support from this is dead. I don’t know what happened to Pixel support but the SkipSoft Toolkit is a complete joke and worthless. I’m really bummed about this.
I am still working on it actually, just limited free time. Working on it right now.
He’s alive! Nice to know you’re still around and involved. Part of me wishes I would’ve gotten involved in programming for Android ten years ago like I started to but then I see threads of “When?! When?! When?!” and then the thought quickly passes. Hope all is well for you and the family. 🍻
Great news!!!
Happy birthday yo! I always remember because it’s mine too.
Wug said he was going to be working on the Pixel when he got his. witch he got one a few months ago. but there has not bee nay update since Sept. 2016. i hope wug can get time to update this or at least let us know if he is done with this project or not. You have done a great job with this and would be a shame to see if die off.
Love who ever created this tool man you helped me get out of the loop of death thanks man I will be donating 💪🏻 Thanks again 😍😍😍😍😍😍
For those who haven’t read the FAQs on this site: It states that if there isn’t an update to NRT, you can use the “ANY BUILD” mode which will do basic functions like UNLOCKING/ RELOCKING bootloader and ROOTING and UNROOTING.
June security update is out.
It failed to install by using Any Build
Has anyone managed to install successfully
Read the FAQ: it only states basic functions like what I listed below. Update will have to be done through other means. If you have a custom recovery you can flash the June factory images, can’t you?
I was able to install the June update on my Nexus 9 Wi-Fi using ‘any build’. Upgraded from the May build. Also rooted successfully as well.
I am trying to flash the entire June factory image on Nexus 6 with Any Build. It fails.
I had no problem flashing earlier images with Any Build.
I don’t know if updating is different from flashing and if there is a difference between Nexus 6 and Nexus 9 images
By the way I had no problem installing
May update using Any Build
Interesting. Well WUG just started a few days back he’s at work on it
NRT fails to start now. been working for years. oh well.
Have you updated it in years?
I have a problem. My nexus 5 is successfully unlocked.the problem is, After rooting supersu and busy box are not installed. And root checker says that my device is not rooted properly
Try root again.
Is TWRP installed? Did you try rooting again?
I can’t choose the zip when I have to choose the factory image. The system filechooser ask me a folder and not a file despite waitinh a targz/zip
Same thing is happening with me.
if this will happen, then move those zip files in your pc’s other drive like D, E, F etc and paste them in a folder. then try again and browse that folder. you will find your desired zip files.
I’ve used NRT several times before with success. Now i’m finding that it just won’t work smoothly just to recognize the device correctly.
What’s changed? My computer now has Windows 10 Creators Update (build 1703), which is a full Windows release (not beta). The phones have Android 7.1.1 and 7.0 on them.
I have 2 Nexus 6 phones, which are both running stock Android, stock recovery, locked bootloaders. They are both having a hard time being recognized by the NRT when it checks for Fastboot devices or I run the driver check. I’ve tried lots of different things. Have uninstalled NRT and reinstalled it a few times. Have tried the 5 different driver options. I’ve followed all the steps to remove drivers and settings. Have toggled from MTP to the other USB settings. Have tried different, good quality and even brand new USB cables and different USB ports on the computer.
I also find that both of the builds that I have installed (N6F27E and NBD92G) , which each came from Google, are not listed in the NRT under Your Model Type. Auto-detect does not detect either the phone model or Android build.
Several weeks ago I got NRT to sideload the OTA for N6F27E after many, many hours of changing settings. Following the recommended steps and settings did not work. Only when I tried other non-recommended things did it finally, begrudgingly, sideload the OTA. I had to try so many things that I haven’t been able to replicate them.
It’s really not working for me anymore….and it used to work well. I don’t know what to do.
Are you sure you have enable USBdebugging mode? 😉 I have forgotten this step a couple of times spending hours to solve the issue…
Yes, of course.
Yes definitely.
I finally got NRT to recognize my new N6. Just kept trying the same driver setup over and over.
When I enable USB Debugging on either of my phones, I never get the pop up to give permission to the computer (with the computer’s ID code) with the item to check to Always Accept this Device.
I’ve tried Revoking the USB debugging authorizations and have toggled the USB Configuration modes several times between MTP, PTP, and others. If I select MIDI, I do get the pop up that I should be getting on MTP.
when you update this tool for the new release of android? this VERSION 2.1.9 don’t have the latest release. at this time i use another tool for my nexus device, but i preferred this tool too much. thanks.
Wugfresh Saturday a couple weeks back that he’s working on it and has limited time. Right now, you can still do most functions as is. For me I only use it to unlock, root, and install custom recovery (TWRP) after that I just foam through TWRP. Is there something you need this tool to do that it cannot? Aren’t you able to download the factory images and flash through the tool yourself?
Certainly mine was more curiosity to do everything in an automated way comfortably
i have nexus 5x android 7.1.2 after update the device is bricked i cant pass through the rotating google or android logo sometimes it won’t even power on until i disconnect the battery and pluged it back again the bootloader is locked and already did factory/cache wipe within the bootloader but still am unable to solve any problem.
also i tried using ADB toolkit but the phone is not connected to it so i cant do any thing at all can someone guide me through this..
i will try this tool today if it succeed i will post feedback
i am also facing the same problem,if you find any solution plz post it here or mail me at davi_dhillon69@yahoo.co.in
Considering that the Nexus 5X battery cannot be removed easily (one has to nearly dismantle the phone to do so) I’d say either you don’t have a Nexus 5X or you physically damaged it, which may explain why it’s working badly now.
I, for one, am still using NRT 2.1.9 to update my two Nexus 5X, despite it’s being outdated, thus setting it up on “Any build”, and never had any problem with it.
Hello Wugfresh,…I know you have been busy. I was just asking if you have any update om PNRT? Sorry to bother. Thank you for your hard work. and it shows. That is why Iove your program. Thanks again.
Yes, I have made great progress. I should be less than a week away.
Yes, you have made great lies!!!!!!!
“I should be less than a week away.” – Bullshit !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wugfresh, to be able to use the no-encrypt feature with the latest OTA for the Nexus 6 the master list needs to be updated (the flash stock + unroot request it). Is there any way to apply the no-encryption after flashing stock with the tool without wiping out the user data? If not, is there any chance you can update the master list? if you are too busy, can the end-user update the master list manually somehow? Thank you!
I’m having the same problem. I had No Force Encrypt boot image installed on the N6 and the phone was not encrypted, confirmed. I then sideloaded the latest build (July 7.1.1). The phone was then encrypted. I may not know all the tricks to keep it unencyrpted, but I suspect that not having all the latest Build selections in NRT is related to this. The latest Build on NRT is March and there are 4 newer ones available from Google.
The best of this world
Hey, I just bought a Nexus 5X and as always I start by rooting it and trying roms. However I made the mistake of making the updates.
I’m now at 7.1.2 (July release) and I don’t see this build in the WugFresh’s tool kit.
Can I use the tool kit if I select “Any Build” without making my phone bricked? Or should I use ADB (or another method) to root my phone?
Just tried today. Work like a charm! So no worry, unlocking the bootloader, rooting are fine, just put the toolkit in “Any Build” or Autodetect.
mine gets stuck in waiting for you device
Make sure to connect correctly your phone, you need to be able to access it with windows.
Also don’t forget to enable USB Debugging in dev options
All good turns out I didn’t enable OEM unlocking
🙂
Did your nexus 5x went into bootloop?
No
Do you have any idea if this fixes bootloop in nexus 5x?
Yes, you can solve this problem, use the Nexus Root Toolkit.
Im trying to reflash stock on bricked nexus 7. Nexus has TWRP and boots into bootloader mode. but when system downloads the factory image it fails the hashcheck and fails. there is no ‘continue’ option like there is elsewhere. Can u advise?
I also cant download the available updates to NRT 2.1.9 because they fail hashchecks too, and if I use the continue option it just cycles in endless loop.
Had the same problem. Just download the files manually! Then select browse instead of automatic download.
Thx, manually downloaded files, failed hashcheck, so copied them manually into the directories that looked appropriate and now program boots ok. Now trying to get the drivers downloaded, options 1 to 4 dont work only the LG option 5 installs anything.
selecting drivers manually no good.
program wont recognise ny Nexus 7 at all. It appears in control Panel ok but not in explorer. I’ve downloaded android SDK, MTP, java, java jdk, the MTP port tool. Nothing Works.
Amazing! Moto Nexus 6 running 7.1.1 with no force encrypt, did not even have to bother about various stuff needed as with manual flashing. Thanks so much!
is there any way to flash N6F27H for nexus 6?
Download from google site and flash… unfortunately encrypted, but there’s some tools available on XDA that will un-encrypt for you (although I’ve never used them).
Does this fix bootloop in nexus 5x?
It certainly can.
Would definitely try then, thanks for replying
i am trying to download supersu and it says download incomplete mismatch when i try to download it manually , file not found on androidfilehost , seriously !
Try again, I just downloaded.
Try again. I just downloaded.
Hi everone i have a nexus 7 2012 with cynanogenmod 5.1.1 installed and i have tried connecting it to my Windows 7 laptop for the very first time with USB debugging enabled on my nexus and nothing happens on my laptop, it doesn’t display anything to indicate it detected my nexus and i have also checked device manager, nothing. I tried booting in fastboot mode and opened nexus toolkit and it tells me fastboot device not detected. Please help.
Does this work for Nexus 6p 7.1.2 n2g48b?
Yes
does this work for nexus 6p 7.1.2 n2g48b
I don’t think root is working with the Nexus 6 with the latest update patch on 7.1.1
No, it works.
It worked once I updated TWRP
It work for Android 7.12 or Android 7.11 (Nexus 5X) ?
I just want to be sure not to fuck my brand new Nexus 5X
thanks!
Hello,
Did someone try to flash and root Android O on his Nexus with NRT?
Yes, just root my nexus 5x, use flash zip SuperSU-v2.82
thanks! I did it yesterday and it worked fine….
Please give the step by step you took to do.
I confirm it works (Nexus 5X). However, access to the root was affected by the manual flash SuperSU-v2.82.
Cannot root my nexus 6p running Android 8.0 oreo
same here, the boot loader install fails and aborts
Yes, just root my nexus 5x, use flash zip SuperSU-v2.82

Hi there. I have my nexus 4 and its stuck on twrp recovery. I tried flashing the stock rom and other custom rom (bootloop i guess) but it still boots up to the twrp after i flash it. Can this tool fix the problem? Its like a phone that has recovery with nothing inside it.
Hi everyone, Would you be so kind to provide me OTA dp4 for Pixel C if you still have it since all links for DP are down. Kind regards.
My Pixel C tablet has bootloader unlocked. Is it now possible to root it with the NRT if on Android 7.1.2 or 8.0?
the program is easy to use, thank you so much 😀
does it back user data like pics/videos/audio
well used this rooting tool kit to reflash the firmware without loosing data and it worked flawlessly
Very nice programm it worked like a charm. But now i am trying to get back to stock and oem unlocking is disabled. Any suggestions?
FANTASTIC toolkit you’ve developed and upgraded over a number of years, WugFresh. But it’s now been over a year since your last update. Are you planning any further updates or has this project reached it’s end-of-life? I’d be very sad to see it go as it’s a remarkable piece of work. Best to you in whatever you do…
Has anyone tried to unlock boot loader then after flashing Oreo, locking them back up? On a Nexus 6P
3.0 for my nexus 6p please ^^
my 6P run on 8.0 and i want change rom, recovery ect 😉
thanks for your work !
I quit NRT – it’s no more supported !!!
why…?
Yikes. That’s not me
Are you working on something else?
Many thanks for all you have done!
Your great work will be sorely missed, Wug. I wouldn’t have the devices I need and want without NRT. Thank you for your years of service.
That’s not me. Comment imposter
Don’t use it??
1. Thank you for making this program. It has made my life easier with my Nexus 5.
2. Even though you don’t support it anymore, I will still use it. I can still manage new recovery and SuperSU versions with it.
Update server is down… ;(
Appreciate the tool and you work. You should come back. You can block or ban the irritating idiots if thats what bothers you. Come back. Great tool. Deserves to live.
That’s not me. Imposter
Sorry to hear that man. Your product was exceptional. I definitely sympathize with your comments about “idiots.” The world is full of them. It’s sad to see that they got the best of you.

I think I have used the toolkit successfully before. I have upgraded the nexus 9 & it needed re rooting again. It works until the nexus comes to a Team Win Recovery project screen that has about 10 buttons to select from (Install, wipe, reboot, ……) – I do not know what to do. Should the selection be automated or which button do I select and what after that.

is there no updates for Oreo builds? Is this not supported anymore?
The reason why I do not feel like going on with the NRT is, that there are too many idiots who have no idea but want everything. That only annoys me – that’s why it ends here!
I thought you ended it 13 months ago with the last update. When you told me months ago you were working on an update for the Pixel devices, and it never arrived, I figured it was abandoned. I remember you saying you were too busy too, so that might be a part of it too right? There are always ungrateful assholes, but I like to think there are far more people who appreciate the work you’ve done on this project.
Good luck with your future endeavors.
good for you
You should come back. Its a useful tool. Just block or ban the idiots. Most of us really like the tool and would take whatever you can give us.
At least I want to say thank you for what you’ve done. this has been my no 1 fav tools.
Yikes. That’s not me. Fake user
This post is an appeal to WugFresh.
Sir, your efforts have provided a great deal of help, not to mention ease, to thousands of people who lack the skills you possess, myself included. In any situation, there are people, “idiots” as you put it and with which I completely agree, who make pests of themselves, abuse the status quo, and ruin it for the thousands who abide by the rules. The group that follows the rules runs from the young to senior citizens who rely on NRT to manage their devices. In the end, then, the idiots end up winning by permanently altering or altogether ending the service or product in question.
That is what is at stake here, an excellent product brought to an untimely end by the actions of a few selfish, inconsiderate people. My plea to you is that you ignore the idiots and recognize that NRT is YOUR product, YOUR creation, and under YOUR control. You can take it in whatever direction you choose. Do with it as you please, ignore the idiots, and continue your great work. Thank you!
Where’s the Mac version?
Where’s your brain?
The unlocking and rooting process worked on my Nexus 5 but could you make mirror links for the 2 files before starting because the SuperSU one didn’t work at first when I tryied to do it manually and automatically also kept saying it was a mismatch. When I clicked download on the manual one it showed error.. after like a minute. So I waited an hour for it to work.
Hope you reply soon
And also can you work on starting to do Samsung devices which would help a lot (Galaxy tab A)
If you’re too stupid to understand how and why NRT worked, then you’d better lose yourself
Damn, man. You are a dick. How about you fuck off? People are just trying to learn something and you are like a bad case of crabs. What are you like 8 years old? Gain a bit of maturity around others before an old man like me skull fucks you to teach you respect.
Wow. I just came across the supposed fact that you are the author. That CANNOT be possible. How does someone that shows such intelligence in something that they create have such disdain and disrespect for everyone that seeks to understand something that you supposedly have created? Weird…
Strange. That comment is not from me. I will delete it.
i understand i really only used it to put twrp but the rest is EASY
Thanks so much for this. Couldn’t get Windows 10 to recognize my Galaxy Nexus in fastboot. Manually installing the unsigned drivers fixed it. Lifesaver after a couple of days of headaches.
I cant see Chroma 6.1 version rom in the select list for nexus 4..
I can’t see brain in your head !!!
Adb and fastboot
With costume ROM lineage.. Can’t be found help.. Nexus 5
Dear Developer,
Thanks for making this toolkit available, it saved my Nexus 7 after downgrading from Marshmallow to 4.4.4 🙂
Since you have done this successfully recently perhaps you could look at my recent posting to see if you have any ideas where I am going wrong please?
I have a Nexus 6 but I was so stupid that I update to the lastest version… Now I want to root my phone to make it custom and see if I can solve a camera problem but I can’t just because I made the wrong move. Their is any way to downgrade or I can do anything with the tool? This is the first time using this program, any tips? I have build N6F27M.
7.1.1
lil
Nexus 6, build number: NBD92G.It’s not in the list, any ideas? First time doing this so.
HI I have a pixel XL upate with oreo. I would like to go back with android 7.1.1 nougat. Does it work ?
I really hope you decide to support this tool again, at least in some limited way. It’s the best and shouldn’t just die because some trolls were being assholes to Wug…
Hi… Can anybody help…I’m trying to downgrade my 1st gen Nexus 7 from 5.1.1 Lolipop to the original 4.1.2 Jelly Bean
I thought I had finally found the Holy Grail here to do it…I must be doing something wrong…Got the Debugger working on the Nexus 7 ok…Downloaded the great Nexus Tool Kit onto my PC (Running Windows 10)…Plug the lead in between the two with the cable…Fire up the software on the PC…It loads ok then I get the message on the PC ” TWRP Recovery—Not Present” –Need To Download
I try to download and get a box “NRT File Dowload” It tries to do it and I get “Download starus- Incomplete”
“Hashcheck–Checking” followed by “Hashcheck – Mismatch”
I go to manually download the file (I’m into territory I’m not sure what I’m doing now!) ….I go to a site and download a file starting SR3-super and ending in 42.ZIP ..What do I do then…I’ve tried copying it into the program directory WUGRESH DEVELOPMENT on my PC and extracted it but when I fire up the PC software again I have the same problem
Can anybody help at all?
(By the way to the developer looks like you have done a brilliant job here as so many people have already benefited from your talent…real shame a few idiots appear to have given up on it!!)
When you get the SR3 superuser zip file, you can point to it from that same dialog box. Just hit Browse, find where you stored the file (probably Downloads), and select it to move on. You’ll probalby have to do the same thing with the other file it requires (twrp).
Newby here. I’m trying to use NRT, but can’t find openrecovery-twrp-3.0.2-0-grouper.img to finish the rooting process.
Thanks for any help.
Hi
Im also having same problem. Please support Or suggest me alternate methods
Thanks
LMAO! I am just reading these comments. Wugfesh!!! Please come back! Wugfresh, “where is your brain?” Killed me.
Oh yikes. Looks like an imposter created an msn wugfresh email and had been pretending to be me on my website
Please help.. I contacted Huawei Service center and asked them i they can fix the bootloop problem. they said the bootloop issue is usually due to motherboard problem and it costs half of the price of Nexus 6P 🙁
I was able to boot to homescreen the first time I tried using NRT flash/unroot but I was still stuck at bootloop. I tried to unlock and relock the Bootloader hoping that by locking the bootloader would let me once again boot to homescreen but it got worse. I can’t unlock the bootloader anymore. 🙁
Just want to say thanks for the memories. I understand your frustration and want to thank you for providing something cool for so long.
I don’t have fustrations. I haven’t been looking at comments on here for a little while. I haven’t left out of any bad feelings. Just lack of free time. I want to make evetonev happy again though, and release something up to date
WegFresh, please come back. This tool is so great. It needs a new life!
I feel guilty that this has taken a back seat. I will dedicate some weekends to seeing what I can realistically push out
THANK YOU!
Thanks for the program. It is exactly what the world needs.
Try to learn some manners though. Gees. I don’t know if you are going through a divorce or what, but crap dude… Someone one day won’t tolerate that and that’ll be it for your chance to make the world a better place than you already have, or you are already in a coma and that is why you aren’t around on here anymore. Idk. Good luck with that.
Hello. I really haven’t read comments on my site in a while. Apologies for being MIA.
I am just working a full-time job, and it’s been difficult to find time for this passion project. I really do enjoy working on it. And I just never finished making my last update.
I am currently on vacation and will be back June 10th.
I will dedicate the next few werkends to working on pushing a long awaited update.
Alright. All good, man. lol. Things happen… 🙂
Thanks Wug. Appreciate it. Also do you know if the update will include more recent versions of Nexus 7?
Thanks Wug. Do you know if the new one will have drop down for the recent versions like 6.0.01
Would be nice if you would pass on your work for someone else, so it can be maintained, or open-source it…
What an awesome toolkit! first time doing this kind of thing and had no issues.
Hello, i trying back from Android 5.1.1 (lmy47v) to 4.4.4 on Nexus 7 2012 3g but i have warning: “Not expected factory pack”
Bootloader is unlock.
What am I doing wrong?
HELP! May anyone help me! I got to the point where it’s obviously rooted but BusyBox and quickreboot won’t get installed. BusyBox always tells me “It looks like the installation of BusyBox was not succesful. Try
installing to a different location, that may resolve the issue.”
Busybox should get installed to system/xbin or system/bin, but it says that there is “Free space unavailable”
What the hell shall I do???????????
Wug’s updater, Wug_updater.exe in the syswow directory, is being reported by Windows Defender to contain the Bitrep.A trojan.
Love to see the source code of NRT released to the public so another can take on this project, what you say WugFresh?? 🙂
why I cant download the toolkit?
Will this work for Note Pro tablet?
Hi, My sole intention is to try to recover some videos from the phone that I accidentally deleted. It seems to me that most apps available require to have the phone rooted, unlocked bootloader, and custom recovery installed(and my phone wasn’t before the “accidental deletion” happened). However, I am afraid to do this because it would (I think) imply the complete and definitive deletion of the data. Would someone be able to help me out here? I very much look forward to your reply. Thanks so much!
Thanks a lot !!!
I had a nexus player that was running the last beta version of Android M and got it stuck in a bootloop trying to manually upgrade to Oreo (couldn’t do an OTA since i had a beta version installed). I spent way too much time trying to fix it and was about to give up on it but this app fixed it and updated me to 7.0 OTA which then let me download 8.0. Thanks, you just saved a nexus player from the trash bin.
Nice. Happy to hear that

So i’m working on an old phone (nexus 4) that is running lollipop… I am trying to get it to at least marshmallow. Is it worth it to push it to an even more recent version? Will the old hardware make to new software unstable?
My Nexus 5X is in a Bootloop 🙁
I tried to install factory images but the problem persist
i tried every single thing from heating the chip to putting the phone into the freezer to installing a new rom and flashing it to everything i have been trying to fix the phone for about 7 months nothing worked its just stuck at google screen it wont even go to the recovery or anything i really am disappointed i paid a good amount of money on this phone i have lost the warranty paper so i cant get a fix or a refund from where i bought it and this is it the phone is dead is there any other way i tried everything on the internet it just stuck on google screen then turns off completly i just burned my money on buying this phone i will never ever buy an lg or a google phone after this ty google
Did you try deleting OS and reinstalling it fresh? XDA Developers has a simple explanation guide for it. That’s what I had to do with my Nexus device.
can u send me a link?
plz
don’t blame others when the problem is with yourself. Go read up XDA forums and learn something by yourself instead of moaning
Hi, I’m using a Nexus 6P, and in the build option there is no Android 8.0+ version. What should I do?
I have the same problem! What could we do?
When I tried to install NRT, it was blocked by my Norton Anti-Virus, because the NRT contained “hacktool.” I know how to stop Norton from deleting my NRT, I’m just wondering if this hacktool will do anything to my system and if it is an essential part of the NRT program (if it even is part of NRT).
Thanks a lot !!!
Thanks a lot !!!
I’ve tried to use this on 3 different computers and none of them can connect to your server to download 4.4.4. What should I do?
Hey Wugfresh, for some reason when I try to install the NRT it says it cannot be installed on this pc – a Lenovo thinkpad x370 (brand new!) running Windows 10. Any ideas?
ciao, non si potrobbe aggiungere anche la gamma Google Pixel ai devices supportati?
Hello, i have Asus Nexus (ME370T) and it is not in the build list?
The device is stuck at Google splash screen. I can get to Recovery Mode.
Also getting messages that it cannot access the update server?
I get an error prompt after clicking Download + Update All file dependencies that says “windows cannot find D:\dataNexusWug_downloader.exe. Make sure you typed the name correctly and try again” Can’t get around this as it just keep on popping up. Any idea how to get around this?
I keep getting this error when trying to unlock bootloader – Retrying [Attempt #1 of 5]: fastboot getvar unlocked.
I am on latest official N7 software
Hey I just want to thank you for this tool.. I’m using this for so long now, and still use successfully with latest releases even if not updated anymore 🙂
I read your latest comments and hope that you can come back with an updated version, since there is no other tool like this.
Thanks again for until now, and thanks for the time being 😀
NRT installed my drivers rooted and unlocked my bootloader. I installed CM14.1 on my Nexus 7 2013, but it was real buggy. I then installed Pure Nexus 7.1. It is fast and works great. I looked at my storage and 14 gigabytes is taking up only leaving 2 gigabytes left. I need to find a way to get my storage back. Could use some ideas about how to do this.
I’m a ashhole
What a fantastic tool. Just bought a Nexus 7 2012 on ebay and it was on Lollipop 5.1.1 and excruciatingly slow – I’ve just managed to get it back to 4.4.4 and it’s now a pleasure to use, as many forum posts said it would be. I did get stuck when copying the very large ‘system’ file but then went into soft-bricked and tried again with a different USB port and different cable, and it copied cleanly. So if you get stuck at this stage, try a different port on your pc and use the most expensive looking USB cable you have to hand!
Hey mate, I’ve too a nexus 2012 on lollipop, and was trying to update it on 8.1.0 using this tool. Do you recommend me to downgrade to 4.4.4 or continue with my original mission? Thanks.
Hi, I’m wanting to root a Nexus 7 2013 MOB30X, and the tool works fine until I get to click on Root. I get an error msg about twrp-3.0.2.0-flo file missing.
l have run update, no change. Tried downloading twrp file, not recognised. Not sure why it needs twrp as I didn’t select Custom recovery (or rather I did then unselected it).
Am new to this, any advice appreciated, including how to rollback if needed.
Thx, Dave
Now fixed! Although SuperSu had had a green tick, and twrp was the file I was prompted to download and install, leading to hash errors, I was eventually prompted to d/l the SuperSu installer. After re-installing that twerp installed fine!
Device now successfully rooted, many thanks to WugFresh for a phenomenal toolkit!!!
Can i use it to root my nexus 6 with 7.1.1 build number N6F27M ?
Every time I try to root it says failed and then aborts and screws it up. I had the root actually root once and then got a boot loop.
Thank you very much for your excellent job.
Despite being a great tool that steps you through the whole process, my Nexus 5x with Android 8.0 remains un-rooted.
I had to select “Android *.*.* Any Build” as 8.0 was not in the list of builds .
I look forward to support for 8.0 as this is otherwise great.
Oh I see there is also the function to step back to 7.0.0, … so now was able to root it.
This is a great tool, making the whole task so easy, Steps you through the whole process.
Oh man. Hi techs. This process makes me nervous. I am a relative newbie … is there an app. , .. A “click” fix. My issue is – I want to use an otg usb camera on my LG VS450PP. Android version 4.4.2 software version VS450PP1 . Any assistance would be exquisite . Thank you👊
Hey Yo! .. Hi, just experimenting with noticabelity. 😀
