[Q] Toolkit questions

Hi,
For rooting, unlocking, flashing and whatnot with the Nexus 7, which toolkit do you think is the best?
1)Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit
or
2)Google Nexus 7 Toolkit by mskip?
Which has more features, or support?

Wug's

None!
It's almost more easy to do it manually.

I actually wouldn't mind doing it manually. Could you link me to any guides on that?

Look up? There are these things called stickies.

Learn how to work with adb and fastboot, so you can unlock and root your nexus manually. This way is so much easier then you might think.
Only use wug's toolkit if you have trouble installing your drivers.

4.2.1 ROM needed

I need to use screencast to record my screen but it's not compatible with 4.2.2, is there any up to date ROMs with 4.2.1 as the base?

Not as far as i know, look in the OTA Helpdesk thread for how to flash OTA`s when you are rooted.

So all 4.2.1 ROMs are deleted? I found CFX ones but they don't run well and I might search for killrom
Downloading killerom seXus ... Slowest thing ever......

Update to 4.3

I'm trying to get the system update from the settings but it keep saying that is my device is up to date.
anyone know why??
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

Honestly, it should come up naturally..If it doesn't work, you can always download the stock image from Google site and flash it manually.. Just search for the name efrant in this forum, you'll get what you seek

I only got my N4 on Tuesday and the 4.3 update appeared within minutes. Are you on WiFi, maybe that makes a difference

Pretty sure you only get the update on stock rom. Are you sure the update isn't from PA?

Nope, i checked the Settings in System updates and got a message about 4.3 system update.

Question?

I've been sticking to running 4.3 ROMs but I would like to go back to aokp 4.2.2 .
Now my question is am I able to restore my 4.3 backup if I have to running a 4.2.2 ROM through twrp.
I ask because I had a phone recently(can't remember which one) that once I started running 4.2 I couldn't restore a 4.1 backup...ugh wish I could remember the details to many phones.
Anyway is there any issues like that here?

can i flash those 4.4.3 costom rom on top of what i have ? or we have to wait for stock 4.43?

Did you back up your stock rom. I think it will do because it will erase everything event your internal file. After that you can root and install twrp.

Yes have my backup stock.

So I have to go back to stock rom before I can flash 4.4.3 custom rom? What about do I need to update the bootloader?
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Restore to stock, plug your n7 to computer and make sure you have unlock boot loader, install n7 driver with adb , turn on USB debuting, and open the latest wugfresh root tool kit. Choose your firmware which is ktu84l n7 wifi. Find flash stock and unroot button. It will request you to download factory img. If you already download then proceed to flash. it will take a while just be patient. If done you can rooted back, just choose root with custom recovery.
Guys correct me if I am wrong, this is my personal experience.
