Nexus Root Toolkit 1.8.0 Final

Nexus Root Toolkit 1.8.0 Final | 71 Mb

Nexus Root Toolkit is an application designed for the Nexus series of Samsung smart phones. Its purpose is to unlock, root and relock devices, as well as flash stock Android releases. All of these operations cause complete data loss, and as such, Nexus Root Toolkit also provides possibilities to backup content prior to performing any change. 

Requirements include owning a Nexus device and a great deal of knowledge about the above mentioned terms. If this is your first time unlocking and rooting an Android phone, we warmly suggest that you prepare thoroughly (there are plenty of explanations and tutorials on the Internet).

We can, however, draw a general picture of what rooting means. This operation is designed to modify your mobile device and to offer you complete control over it. In other words, it removes limitations imposed by the manufacturers and provides you with complete privileges. A huge downside is that a rooting operation gone bad stands the risk of bricking your device, damaging it and voiding its warranty.

However, Nexus Root Toolkit is said to have a good success rate, judging by user opinions we found on forums. Compared with other rooting methods, it’s simpler and more accessible to the everyday user, not to mention that every step of the process is accompanied by tips and warnings.

The device needs to be plugged in order for the operations to start successfully. A quick start wizard allows you to select the phone model together with the Android version you’re running. The next step is absolutely mandatory if you wish to preserve your phone data and includes a complete backup of all data and settings. Once this is accomplished, you can proceed to the Initial Setup – driver installation and configuration. A quick test confirms that your phone is ready, after which you may explore the perks of the software.

The list of operations that you can try out includes unlocking the device, rooting (these two operations completely wipe all the data on the device), back to stock (unroots the device – restores original limitations) and relocking (fully return to factory settings). The Options section allows you to disable messages, to set file associations and additional recovery settings.

All in all, Nexus Root Toolkit has built a decent reputation for itself. It supports a wide range of Nexus phones, comprises a rich help file and most importantly, backs up your data in case of unfortunate scenarios.


This program will automatically bring together all the files you need to:

✔ unlock and root your device in a few clicks
✔ flash it back to stock and re-lock it
✔ backup/restore all your important data
✔ flash zips

What’s new in Nexus Root Toolkit 1.8.0: December 26th, 2013

· Fixes to ‘Flash Stock + Unroot’ with ‘Other/Browse’ when choosing a .tar file instead of .tgz, should now work properly for all users.
· New button in the toolkits device-selection window for auto-detecting your particular device and build for ease of use (and to prevent user error).
· Added an additional message box after performing nandroid backups to ask the end-user if they would like to remove the backup which still resides on their device.
· Added the proper file dependency checks at the beginning of the re-lock script to ensure all required files are present for N5 user (to allow auto-flashing the reset-tamper-flag zip).
· Tweaked the rounding function for displaying the file/dir size of backups so that it displays two decimal places by default.
· Updated the included Backup/Restore apps by Ritesh Sahu to the latest available versions (more specifically the sms backup-restore app should now work properly on KitKat builds).
· Uploaded all NRT files that were previously missing on Goo.im due to their read-only restrictions during their server relocation period – so now users can fully use either AndroidFileHost.com or Goo.im (choice available in the toolkits options menu).
· Some other small bug fixes, improvements and optimizations.
