Android tips & tricks: Nexus Root Toolkit – PCLab.pl

Android is a system in many ways tragic, it could be for him to complain and complain. Anyway, after all, everyone knows that its pure variety is nothing interesting, it lacks a bunch of features. You can not, however, refuse him many advantages, including openness, and thus, the ability to create modifications. Today I have something that relates to this subject. It just so happens that, you may find some small, but it is extremely useful application. It is the Nexus Root Toolkit, which we’ll cover in this post.

Immediately I sadly conclude that, unfortunately, but it is definitely designed just for people who have the devices in the Nexus: Nexus S smartphones, Galaxy Nexus, Nexus Nexus 4 and 5, as well as tablet Nexus 7 (editions in both 2012 and 2013) as well as the Nexus 10 The author of this program is to Wug Fresh, one of many developers, which can be found even in the international forum XDA. Apparently, he stated that users of the Google logo bearing the signature are very lazy, I decided to create an application that allows you to do a lot of really minimal effort.

install, first fitting

its installation itself is simple, slightly worse drivers. Application advice on how to do this, I prefer own way. Run the device USB debugging development tools (if you do not see it in settings -> about phone repeatedly press the “number of complications, an appropriate message will betray us that everything went ok), and then connect it to your computer via USB Kabelka . Most likely, the system will not find the appropriate drivers. You can, however, help him by going to Device Manager by selecting the missing piece and tell it to look like this, where you have installed the application. In the case of 64-bit variants of Windows 8/8.1 may need to reboot the system with the option disabled driver signature checking, otherwise can not install it to us, and hence, further operations can not be carried out. If we already have the drivers, go ahead and finally run the Toolkit.

Unlock Bootloader

On a good day he will ask us what device you use. First, select the model, and then a specific version of the software. Assuming that generally users Nexusów have the latest available Android choice should not be difficult. It is very important that the application itself gets all the needed files is compatible with the selected model. What’s next? Well, it depends on us. Options offered by the application are considerable, and although these operations could do yourself, even from the command line, it is easier, after all just wyklika?: if we can, let’s simplify our lives this way. If you have not ruszali?cie your Nexus, I recommend that you start by unlocking the bootloader (the “Unlock”). This is the most important step, without which we will not do the rest.

In many devices, it is locked for good, others require a combination of alpine him to choose. The whole Nexus launch in due course, issue a single command and approval in the same phone. I’m not sure whether it is simpler, but probably not. Unlocking the bootloader is, however, a major drawback … I link this with the removal of all data and restore the device to its factory condition. Ot the requirement for security reasons. If so you have some important data, first copy the them. I mean the data at all, because I will also cleaned the entire internal memory. Are you ready? Click, the application itself must restart your phone. Following her instructions, you’ll have the volume buttons to select an option, then confirm the switch. Hooray! I odblokowali?cie Nexus! Okay, but what it really gives?

Let me root, root gimme, gimme … I root you root …

So unlocked Nexus can become a victim of successive treatments, real transplant when it comes to software that is on it. For starters can leave the basic software that comes with it, let’s set up the phone and add a root access. This will allow the use of many useful applications, even to block ads, hibernate programs running in the background, or modify the entire interface. In this case, simply use the “Root”. Application re-do everything for us, even repeatedly running the machine again. After this procedure can be found on board a smartphone or tablet SuperSU installed application that allows you to increase the powers. Is not it that simple? This is a good time for it to make use of several applications requiring higher powers and see how it looks if so far with this not encountered. What will fly? Greenify if you depend on battery power, as well as Titanium Backup to backup individual applications. If you decide to change the original system to another, definitely take advantage of it, or at least recommend doing this instead of having to laboriously configure everything from scratch every time.



time on custom ROM

Well, now he can go with it, what Tiggers like best, so installing revised software such as CyanogenMod, Paranoid Android, AOKP, OMNI or even something else with tons of custom ROMs available. This is what we will need is a modified recovery. Standard allows you to perform official Android updates provided by Google, but does not allow for anything more. Of course, thanks to the Nexus Root Toolkit will be able to replace them with a better alternative. Bystrzaki probably already noticed that we have the option to choose even at rootowaniu, just select the appropriate option and somehow “free” will be thrown immediately changed recovery. However, I recommend doing it differently. Just go to the advanced tools (under the Advanced Utilities), there in the middle column, select “Flash (Permanent)”, and then click Recovery. The application itself we propose to flash the latest version available from three types: CWM, TWRP and Philz. I’ll say this … CWM is a kind of “tradition”, but it is not installed version too comfortable on the touch screen. A better choice is also proven, really convenient and intuitive TWRP. As for the last option is not utter, because I have not had occasion to use.

Traditionally sufficient to confirm, the application does the rest for us. You know … this is really boring, is not it? Everything happens by itself, not even the thrill that accompanied the occasion ever play with other devices … What to upload the custom, here the user can not find it, because everyone has their own. You can specify a versatile recipe that works for these popular: move the file to your phone modification, a pack of GAPPS, enter reocvery, perform a full clean (wipe) and sflashowa? no two elements … There’s no philosophy and really taking into account the above clearly see that the upload revised software on the device with the Nexus series is a piece of cake. If you’ve seen this bookmark it right away you will notice that the upload using the application, you can also other things, like the radio (it’s not about the FM radio, but the module responsible for GSM and Wi-Fi) system, and the same bootloader.

Blah or other gadgets

In fact, all the most important and most commonly used options are described. After the other probably will not go as often, unless you perfectly know what you are doing and want more solid mess. With these less advanced it is worth mentioning the possibility of a rapid restart, going to recovery mode and fastboot (bootloader). With this application you can also install files using APK files and zip to flash a single package, such as additional modifications or the revised kernel. NRT also allows quick placement on your files in a very convenient form (we select by clicking, not giving hand path). I admit without hitting that at times have that saved, or at least helped to save the skin. Try to modified software to encrypt the device, and then do a wipe, for example, forgetting to put in the memory of the new files to flash … Oh when emotions are guaranteed. But the truth is that the Nexus blow from the software side is definitely difficult. You would have to have the talent to damage the same bootloader …

Install and do not complain

What can I say … I use the Nexus Root Toolkit since time immemorial, used it even when not performed in a form convenient windowing applications, but something like it appears in the console. I would definitely recommend it to users of Windows and Nexusów holders who decide to have fun with your hardware. They really are so delicate and hard to find something that you can toss modifications in an easier way. It is not difficult even without the application, but it is even easier. Faced with the possibility of Nexus Root Toolkit also recommend the implementation of the grant’s really worth supporting even a speck, because he did a good job, and all the time the software is updated. And just .. before przyst?picie to any area, be sure to make a backup copy. Yes, the application allows it
