Hey all, I seem to have issues when trying to use the Nexus Root Toolkit when I try to root my 6P.
Has anyone else ran into this problem before? I had no other choise but to Flash back to stock and unroot.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Plenty of people have run into issues like this while using toolkits, that's why I don't suggest people use them. You really don't need a toolkit anyway, it's very easy to do everything manually, check out my guide:

Hey, guys.
Sorry for this post as I'm sure it's been answered (or obvious), but search didn't provide answers.
I want to unlock and root my N7, but keep the stock rom, using this toolkit.
It's not clear to me, however, what steps are needed. The options look pretty self-explanatory, but I'm still unsure.
So, can anyone help out a "virgin" here with a quick option sequence (option 3, then do 4, etc). Again, I want to keep the stock ROM when all is done.
Thanks.
Use this one, it is much easier to use.

Yep. You were right! I'm unlocked and rooted and all seems fine.
Thanks!

DON'T use a toolkit, actually. It's better to know what you're doing.

This is crappy advice mate Wannabee a NOOB forever?

Unlock bootloader, flash recovery, flash rom or su binary, done.
I want to root my Nexus 4 4.3 JWR66V with a Toolkit.
I want the easiest way and MUCH MORE important is it to be SAFE.
So which Toolkit shall I use?
I thaught about WugFresh's and N-Cry but if there is something else it'll be OK (WugFresh's looks very easy but I heard there are some bugs with 4.3)
Thank you in advance guys!:good:

Always do backup, when possible!
Edit: A word of advice, although it is safe to say that you can't brick your phone with these toolkit, but if you can't bear with the risk of data loss, it is best not to do it at all.

Especially if your bootloader is still locked - the rooting process WILL result in data loss.

Well then you better do things manually, because one wrong click on a toolkit and you're screwed. Seriously, do it manually and you'll learn how to sort out future issues. Also, don't post duplicate threads since I've just replied to another thread that you've created about the exact same thing.
In fact, it would do you a lot of good to read the new user guide in my sig. I'm not being rude, just realistic. You seem to know very little about this right now and the sooner you get used to XDA the faster you'll be able to find what you need.

This +100. You want something? Read about it and learn what you want to do. Laziness will only screw you in the end.

You should check out Carbon in the playstore. I believe it's made by koush and it's supposed to work without root.
You ask this as you do not have your bootloader unlocked I suppose?

Correct.
Using a tool kit may look easier since you just have to select an option, but honestly the guide here is more or less cut and paste into the command line. Plus there's no harm in reading and gaining more information so that you don't panic when you get into a bootloop or brick. I get that you're new to android rooting, but if you're going to do something like unlock a bootloader, might as well in from the deep end.
Hello all,
I am having a slight issue with trying to revert from a custom ROM, Vanilla Rootbox, to stock in order to apply the 4.3 update and final the Kit-Kat update.
I am trying to use Wugfresh's Nexus Root Toolkit to revert to stock, but when I get to the command prompt where it is suppose to flash the stock recovery image, I don't see anything happening in the command box nor does my nexus restart a couple of times. In that case, I am left with the same Rootbox and for some reason, I can't check for updates for gapps and the rom itself.
Please help me if there is a step I missed, or if there is an easier method I can try to just go back to stock, please let me know
Thanks for your help,

I installed root from twrp when it offerd for me, what do i do now to get rid of it?
Use the unsu.zip file that is in the original SU thread. Just flash that and it should get rid of it!

Hmm, can you reboot to bootloader? If so, use Nexus Root Toolkit to flash stock and unbrick and start from there. Never install the SU that twrp suggests!!
@twrp, please fix this! its like a accident waiting to happen. I almost did this myself so many times.

He should learn how to use fastboot and do it properly without a tool kit. Tool kits lead to nothing but problems.
This is to OP.
YOU really need to stop messing with you're phone and learn what you're doing before you actually brick you're phone. What you have right now is not a brick and is incredibly easy to fix for someone who knows what they're doing. Do some reading and learning or you're going to end up with a fancy paperweight.

I understand what you are saying, but the toolkit is good if you are really stuck and are unsure of what to do. I do agree that learning the correct fastboot techniques is the best idea though!!

I've already told you to use @Heisenberg guide like 3 or 4 times. Everything you need is in there. Legit everything. No more threads. You need to practice and learn this stuff. I know I'm coming off like a prick. But you need to try to learn this stuff or you're going to screw yourself. The guide is right in the stickies section of Q&A.
