1) Fresh Root - This is to do a clean root on your stock Asus JB rom or any other custom rom. Great for any users that lost root during an upgrade.
2) Fresh Start - This will give you a clean start by wiping your system partitions (backup your data) then flashing a stock JB image. After the package will do a clean root to the TF201 (Make sure you download the JB update for your region from the Asus site then extract and place the "blob" file in the same folder as this package and rename to "system.blob"
!!! This is for users with from any region with unlocked bootloaders only !!!
I made this because a few users have had trouble with root after the JB update from Asus. What I have made is an automated package that includes the root binaries and the the Team Win Recovery. From FASTBOOT this package will flash a custom recovery then root it. If a previous broken root from an update exist it will remove the old broken root and re-root it. Simple as that!
Additionally I have made another option in this package called "Fresh Start" and what this will do is wipe you tablet clean (backup your data) then flash a new image of JB. Once completed it will flash the custom recovery and root it before you even sign-in and set up the tablet. I recommend this as it will make the tablet nice, clean & speedy.
This assumes you have the correct drivers installed for your device, if not I recommend my Universal Naked Drivers Here

Thanks for the feedback, being its automated you just have to get use the on screen instructions. I wiped and re-flashed, then rooted about 30x in a row with this package so I thought I would release to others to make their life easier.
If anyone has suggestions for any instructions that were not clear enough let me know and I can update for clarity.

You have missed the step that mounts the /System from recovery. This has to be done manually then ADB can push ROOT. It said write failed so i assume this is where you got stuck.
1) Make sure you run as "Admin" just in case
2) When you boot into the custom recovery, you must select the "Mount" icon then then select system. After then you continue with the batch file and all should be good.
I can confirm that this worked w/ my TF201. Thanks a bunch!
I was unlocked and had root plus a "backup" according to Voodoo OTA RootKeeper. I manually installed the JB update via sdcard and lost root plus all signs of root. Being unlocked, I used your method in Win7 (parallels virtual machine on mac) running a shell as admin and everything worked without any hitches. I have root and have verified by Voodoo OTA, Root Explorer, and Titanium Backup.
A big thanks to you for this. I now have root again!

Ha ha ha ha! Root Restored!
Sir, You are a God! I lost root when I manually updated to JB using the Micro SD Card method. Followed your guide and am now rooted on JB! Sixaxis gaming Nirvana restored! Thank you!!!

For anyone having issues with the ADB command I would manually try ADB before this package. This package assumes you have your drivers working in FASTBOOT & ADB. Or when you get the recovery flash and you have booted the recovery open a second prompt and try the "adb devices" command before this package pushes root.
I see that you have quite a few amount of post and would think you have some experience, since you are still having issues I would say that the drivers are dirty or something else weird is going on.
You have mentioned you get the recovery flash then booted, at this stage can you go to your device manager and take a screen shot of the Android device? You may have to repoint the device to the drivers but non the less a screen shot would help.
is there something like this but not for unlocked bootloader? I lost root on OTA but i didn't have it unlocked and don't want it to be fore now, I'm just using stock.
Works beautifully!
Thanks for root back!
I'm running CM10 unofficial right now but it's giving me some issues I'd rather not deal with right now...it already has the JB bootloader...can I still flash this to go back to stock[JB]?
I was wondering how to reinstall a recovery and to root again... Thanks!
Note: i just copy command lines from the bat file because i'm on linux.
Just wanted to say: it worked perfectly and painlessly on my already unlocked but otherwise stock prime!
Hi,
Coming from Completely Stock Prime with JB update. Unlocked BL via Asus Tool then used this method and everything went Perfect!! Thanks for your Effort.
I have to say that I'm glad to see you made this, worked great. Tried many other ways to root jb after I flashed androwook and lost custom recovery and root.
You're awesome!

Q
Do i lose erverthink or will i keep my current stock rom whitout installing erverthink.
Thanks works like a charm, unlocked my prime and installed the naked driver let the batch file do it work. back on rooted system with everything working
So I'm trying to do the Fresh start but can't for the life of me figure out how to move and rename the blob file unfortunately. I've got the extracted JB update file on my desktop but can't rename the blob file, right clicking it won't give me the option...
I'm supernoob with this device so can anyone please walk me through or figure out what I'm missing? Please...
Edit: well, looks like I've just gotten myself an unrecoverable bootloader...
more detailed instructions would be appreciated
I am a noob to this device and just unlocked the bootloader.
Can you post detailed step-by-step instructions for your method in the OP or PM. I am also wondering if TWRP version has been updated to 2.3.
Thank you very much.
EDIT: I am all set. Thanks.

why root? there is no need to root in JFD to get CWM working. here is the update.zip, put it on sdcard, and boot into it, and then flash CM7 by hand. BAM! you're golden!
no need for root.
Yea just copy update.zip to sd card, reboot into standard recovery, apply update.zip, hit it a second time and then boom your in cwm.
You do have usb debugging enabled when your trying to root right? And usb is not connected as a mass storage device? If you do it wont work...!

That Noob guide is titled for rooting method.

Option A is for rooting.
Option B is for installing CWR and then flashing a new ROM straight away.
That is actually how I rooted my with Option A and messed around and cleaned the bloat from my stock ROM before I decided on which custom to flash b/c I hate Superoneclick and have never got it to work correctly on any phone. Some others have, I haven't.

Thank you for this clarification.
btw, i plan to use method A.
it seems steps 3 to 5 (OP Noob Guide) is exclusively for method B.
1. can you share me your experience in the steps 3 to 5 for using method A?
2. Do I have to Select Reinstall packages again for method A ?
If all you are wanting to do it root your phone, just download Option A.
This is what I did (without ever plugging my phone into PC once).
1. I downloaded Option A to my SDcard.
2. Booted into stock Recovery and since it was already labeled Update.zip, I just installed it that way. (You could rename it something like Rooter.zip and then you would pick the option in Recovery to :install from SD
3. Booted up and made sure Superuser.apk was there. It was.
4. Went to market to download CWR (free version) and installed it.
5. Made back up through CWR
6. Removed Bloater,blah blah blah and not once did I ever plug my phone in. Maybe I got lucky, maybe it was something else, but it worked for me. Later on I did copy all that to my PC because as you know, links do tend to get broken around here.
Less than a week later I had read and picked out custom ROM and flashed that. Most custom ROMs have a recovery already built into them.
Good luck and remember the first thing that you should do whenever you Root a phone is to get into Recovery and make a back up then and there, so that if/when you ever have to warranty your phone, you can restore it and remove the SU.apk and they will be none the wiser.
Note that Option B does have CWR included and I have read here and there that CWR free isn't in the market for some reason. Not sure about that though.
Thanks a lot. its a great help. i will try this.
it seems the free version of ROM manager is not anymore compatible in Android 2.1
Whitehawxx (spelling is probably off on that) has a 2.2 full bloat in the Dev thread if you want to use that and then you can use CWR from market. Just read the OP. Good luck and I am out for the day.
Thanks for the suggestion but I will root from stock 2.1 and just install an old version of ROM manager from 4shared.com

if I follow your rooting method (A), is it safe to flash a miui gingerbread mod roms (miui nb or miui galnet) ?
to paraphrase, is it safe to flash from a newly rooted Android 2.1 to custom rom Android 2.3 ?
assuming I successfully flashed to Android 2.3, is my Super User still intact?
I just apprehensive about your method A, because some rooting methods (Z4root) when transfer to another firmware can cause a lost of Super user permission.
First off...Thanks to Lokifish for all your hard work. I would post this in your thread, but I'm too new to post in the developer forums (though at least I was able to hit the thanks button).
So after reading through the entire deblur thread, being the n00b that I am, I was still hesitant to try it due to my uninformed decision to install the OTA update and not being able to find any post confirming it worked (on a stock phone) after that update. Well, I tried it anyway and just wanted to post somewhere that it worked flawlessly. I also wanted to include my own little "side guide" with precautions I took (after reading through the thread) that weren't in Loki's original guide, in hopes that it may help other n00bs such as myself to feel more comfortable with the process:
Make sure you have the latest drivers installed on you PC for your photon and the correct architecture. <--If you don't know what this means, stop here.
1. Root phone using photon torpedo method. http://www.groovypost.com/howto/motorola-photon-4-g-how-to-root-your-phone/ <--Thanks to kbeatzzz for his post. This method works and is easy to follow/do. <--Also thanks to edgan, obviously, for the photon torpedo method.
2. Install custom bootstrap recovery. <-- Thanks to topolovich for his post in the deblur thread.
This can easily be accomplished by following the "Custom Bootstrap Recovery" how-to video here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17302907 <-- Thanks to qbking77 for these guides! Awesome work.
I think it's best to copy the apk to external sd, but you can copy to internal storage if you want, and just recopy it later.
3. Boot into the custom bootstrap recovery and make a backup to your external sd card.
4. After backup is complete and you rebooted your phone, power off and remove the sd card.
5. Reset to factory defaults <--from Lokifish Marz guide (Don't worry, this will not "unroot" your phone)
6. Install Superuser (by ChainsDD) from android market ...Needed for superuser permissions later, you don't have to do anything other than click allow when superuser asks if the apps can have permissions and make sure that the box is checked so superuser remembers the answer (that's important). Also be sure to update to latest binary from within superuser app.
7. Install BusyBox (by Stephen Stericson) from the market <-- thanks to Lokifish Marz, KyleIsTheBeast, NukeFish posts. This only installs the installer. You have to open it and then click install to actually get busybox installed. Don't mess with any of the settings!!!!
8. Copy the entire "1deblur_lite" folder over to internal storage (latest version) as per Lokifish Marz instructions in the OP of the Deblur Thread
(If you can't figure out how to get to the actual download link, see Post 3 of this thread for more details)
9. Power down and insert sd card, then power up and reinstall the apk for the bootstrap recovery. Make sure to go through all the steps again outlined in the video guide I mentioned earlier. If you copied the apk to your internal storage earlier, you'll have to recopy it, otherwise just install from sd card.
10. After rebooting from bootstrap recovery, unplug the charger, and uninstall any apps that are not included in this guide. (Many of them only allow you to uninstall updates, these apps will be there no matter what so no need to uninstall updates on these) Doing this step was something I added just to make sure there's nothing that will conflict with the script.
11. Turn on Airplane mode <--Thanks to Lokifish Marz suggestion and to ZeroManArmy for experiencing a problem and posting instead of giving up
12. Do not perform this step until you read step 13 and make sure charger is unplugged... Run the script as per instructions outlined by Lokifish Marz in the Deblur thread. Watch the video!
13. WAIT about 5 minutes before removing the battery. <--Thanks to ZeroManArmy for his post
14. Then reinsert battery and power up. You should now have a deblurred phone
If you softbrick the phone, you should be able to boot to the custom bootstrap recovery and restore your backup. (I can't guarantee this because I did not brick my phone, but the recovery mode continues to function normally after running the script) I did run into one little bug where the ringer toggle icon disappears after a while. This is likely an issue with one or more apps I have installed, because I haven't found any posts about this. I will ask in the Q&A forum to see if Lokifish might see it and help me get the icon back. This is a very minor issue though as the toggle still works.
I hope Lokifish does not take offense to the above guide. I just figured since taking these steps helped me to be "brave" and try it, they might help others too.

In the OP of that link, scroll down to the video. Just above the video is a "Downloads:" link. That will take you to the Martian Imperium site. Click Enter. Click Downloads, click Motorola, click the link on the right (v1.0.8). From there you have to do a bit of add dodging (This helps Lokifish host the file and keep track of how many times it's downloaded):
DO NOT click any of the colored stuff, scroll down an click the ACTUAL BUTTON that says "Download or Watch". The new page will have a BIG GREEN ARROW pointing down in the center of the page. Click the "Download" link just below the arrow. Now you have to wait. Eventually it will connect and you can download the zip file. What you need to copy is located in that zip file: The "1deblur_lite" folder.
Note: You're probably going to have to close a bunch of popups. No worries, there's no adware/spyware or anything, just don't click anything you're not supposed to

Did you make a backup first as described in step 3 above? If so, boot into bootstrap recovery and restore from backup. Otherwise, you'll have to flash back to stock or another ROM. If you're on the 2.3.5 OTA update, which I suspect you are, then see below:
You can flash back to stock using a bootstrap flashable zip of the OTA update located here, thanks to mof9336
You can also flash to a De-Blurred Slim ROM that is bootstrap flashable and works with the 2.3.5 kernel/bootloader, also thanks to mof9336. You can find it here
I'm currently using v1 of the above ROM because I ran into some issues with voicemail on v2, but this doesn't seem to be the case with others who are running it, so I would definitely recommend trying v2 first.
Hope this helps

As far as I know, wiping the data partition (factory reset) kills bootstrap recovery because it's not a true custom recovery. The only thing I can think of would be to use RSD Lite. Check out the following post and be prepared to do a lot of reading. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1798145
Also, there may actually be a full Photon 2.3.5 SBF available by now, though I haven't found one. You may wanna try looking. If you find it, let me know.
Hope this helps
Keep in mind, I'm still a n00b myself and I am offering suggestions based on limited knowledge.

And it would help other Panasonic eluga users too because there are already some topics asking for rooting.

I was thinking: if I could make a custom recovery from clockworkmod custom recovery builder and root it
from there.
would this work? and how can I extract recovery.img from a non-rooted phone?
I know I could just take it from a downloaded firmware but as far as I know there are none on the internet.

Edit: I just found a japanese software update : panasonic.jp/mobile/support/fota/p04d/download.html
I downloaded it and extracted the *.dat file. In there are some files: mtd5 (320bytes), mtd6 (10MB), mtd8 (161Bytes), mtd9 (8.51MB),
mtd10 (207kb) and mtd13 (10.2MB). They have no extension and I can't open them.
I know they are partition files so I renamed mtd8 to mtd8.img (my guess for the recovery partition) and submitted it to the clockworkmod builder site.
Let's see if this could bring rooting the eluga a little closer :laugh:
Update:
I have found the partitions of my phone :
Now i have to pull the original recovery from mmcblk0p11 (I think).
I tried it with: (in adb shell) /system/xbin/busybox dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11 of=/mnt/sdcard/recovery_main.img
But it doesn't work because it needs root for that
But I can access busybox because I accendently have been able to copy it to /system/xbin
Don't know how but it works and I can't copy any files to /xbin or /bin anymore. Otherwise it would be easy to root.
Any more help would be really helpfull because i'm not an expert modder. I know how to work with commands an adb though.
I also have a dualboot with ubuntu and windows so maybe if there are some linux tools that could do the trick...
thanks
Keep it up !
It seems that noone cares about dL 1. I would appreciate to take away the camera shutter sound and boost volume in music a bit if rooted.
Please post any updates !
I'll do that But at the moment it seems i'm the only one trying to root this phone
Anyway: Time for the next update:
With the X-ray security app I discovered that my device is only vulnerable to the levitator exploit.
so i made a script using that exploit:
Unfortunatly this is also giving me an error :crying: and this is the only exploit that "could" work.
So, I need some more help!
Also tried the m9.r00t.apk app (wich uses the levitator exploit). Nothing happens.
grtz
I tried every single exploit, including these:
d.hatena.ne.jp/isakulion/20120619/1340101173
www22108u.sakura.ne.jp/files/p01d/
And here is a wiki www34.atwiki.jp/eluga/pages/18.html
If I could just dump the default recovery, I could make a Clockworkmod recovery. The panasonic can flash a update from file storage.
so if I could convert that clockworkmod recovery to mtd11 and zip it in a *.dat file (standard file format for software update) I could flash it to the phone. And try to root it from there.
But first I need to dump the original recovery.
I could use some help
Next update:
I updated the ADB drivers from Superoneclick with those from the panasonic P04D ADB drivers.
Now it doesn't hang on step 7 but it installs busybox. But then the app freezes
Screenshots:
I also tried this method:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1477752
I think my phone doesn't have fastboot I tried all button combo's but the only thing I can get into is stock recovery.
And if I type: fastboot devices, no device shows up.

Did you root the dL1 Eluga?
Hello,
would you have any news on the procedure to Root the Eluga?

did you root Eluga?
Hello,
where you able to root the Panasonic dL1 Eluga?
Android 4.0
Panasonic Germany twitter says me: Hello, we are expecting the end of October with an update. Maybe can arrange money for those who doing root for our device?
today i decided to buy this pretty phone for my lady .. because of the price and because as of today an ICS update is available ... but yes, a way to root it would be very nice :highfive:
it is possible to have root access with ics update? please check
ICS not working for me
Just tried running the Panasonic Eluga ICS update, and it tells me my phone is up to date (2.3.5), oh dear.....
uhm, cancel the ics update app and then re-install i hear that someone has this problem
news?
HI...i am the user of this model but the model name not same. so, the eluga ics update i cant to use, any one can send the elugaics update apk to me?:crying:
Eluga factory reset
Hi guys,
i got my eluga yesterday and ran straight into Problems. My SIM-Card i not recognized by my phone (But i know it works in other phones).
Then I tried to update the phone. At first the "smaller Gingerbread" update, which worked fine.
Still no change on SIM functionality.
After that I tried to get the ICS update running. Strange is, it downloads the package, but when going to instal it, suddenly it is not possible (research: Most others werent albe to download the package in the first place, their eluga said straight away it were up-to-date and stopped the update process).
I tried to do a factory reset with the function provided in settings. This resulted in a bootloop. It gets to the Lockscreen but i cant do anything and then it restarts over and over again. With holding the power button for a long time i am able to get it booting normal again. Just to see that nothing was done. The factory reset simply did nothing except for the bootloop and a cleared user space partition.
I wonder if theres a secret procedure to perform a reset on boot?
I also tried to gain root access but no luck so far...
With root i think the wipe could be done through adb right?
I have the suspicion that the "panasonic recovery" is damaged. This would in my noobish opinion explain why the factory reset goes wrong and the update stops when its intended to instal the rom (both actions update and reset are performed by a kind of recovery program right?).
Iam thankful for any Input

Managed to get it rooted with both SuperOneClick and UNLOCKROOT. Well, at least these 2 apps reported that the phone is successfully ROOTED. However, when check with RootChecker and Root Checker Basic from Google Play, both apps said the phone not rooted.
So which is which? Superuser is in the phone and Terminal Emulator accepted the "SU" command...

Hi Textwiller,
Did you managed to root your N8000+ JB 4.1? Just curious.
I managed to root my N8000+ JB 4.0 set but not the set with JB 4.1.....
Have a very tough time to get the Star N8000 4.1.1 rootted
Can anyone help, please?
I have tried everything, from OneClickRoot, UnlockRoot, Root with Restore (V25) - and they all fail.
It seems like the filesystems cannot get remounted - even after busybox has been copied to the /data/.... directory.
Any ideas?
I want this rooted and install a "better recovery" - The one that is currently on the phone is in Chinese....
My current ROM is: e1908_v77_jbl1_9p017_6628 build date: 20121220
Thanks

Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda app-developers app
Use superone click
Finally got it rooted - here's how.
Hi all, my first post on xda-developers
I was really annoyed by the fact that no procedure seemed to work on my Star N8000+ (JB 4.1.1) e1908_v77_jbl1_9p017_6628 ORIGINAL STOCK ROM. I tried everything, from SuperOneClick to chinese rooting software... Nothing seemed to work. And since I have an untouched stock rom, and I had no wish to reflash the phone, I was left in the dark.
But, after lots of searching, experimenting and tons of trial-and-error with trying to understand scatter files and partitioning stuff, I finally managed to root my device with no need to use adb or to reflash the phone.
I'm posting a step-by-step guide for complete noobs like me. So here's the method I used (hope it works for all of you who aren't getting any luck with other methods, just like I was):
Download this file N8000+e1908_v77_jbl1_9p017_6628-Root.zip and copy it to your phone's sdcard;
Enter the phone's system recovery menu:
Turn phone OFF;
Hold Volume + key and turn phone ON. Keep holding Volume + until the below robot picture shows on your device. When it appears you can release the Volume + key;
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Press the menu touch key (on the left of the phone's home button). A list of options will appear.
Using the Volume + or - key, highlight the "apply update from sdcard" option and press the phone's home button;
Using the Volume + or - key, find and highlight the N8000+e1908_v77_jbl1_9p017_6628-Root.zip file you've already saved on your sdcard (step 1). Once highlighted, press the phone's home button. Update will start;
When the update finishes, reboot your phone by using the Volume + or - key to select the "reboot system now" option and then press the phone's home button. Phone will reboot normally.
After all this, you should have root access to your phone
Files included on zip:
su v. 1.27
SuperSU v. 1.30
BusyBox v. 1.20.2
As always people mention when posting such procedures (and I think they are right), do it at your own risk. Although I feel and think that the above method is pretty safe and harmless, I will take no responsibility for any damages your phone may suffer. If you feel insecure about anything, just browse the sources on the zip package to check that the contents do not intend to harm your phone. I can assure you that I did all this just to try to help everybody who's out there, lost with rooting this wonderful device.
The above procedure worked flawlessly on my Star N8000+ (JB 4.1.1) e1908_v77_jbl1_9p017_6628 ORIGINAL STOCK ROM. If your phone version is different, it may or may not work. I think no harm could be done by trying (I guess the worst thing that could happen was the update to be refused to be applied due to certification incompatibility or wrong scatter/partition info). Once again, do it at your own risk.
Bonus: un-Root.
If you managed to successfully root your device using the above procedure, then you can undo it (unroot) by following the same above steps again, but instead of using the original zip file posted on step 1 use this one: N8000+e1908_v77_jbl1_9p017_6628-Root-UNINSTALL.zip
Unlocking, rooting, relocking and unrooting simplified! (and much more!)
VERSION 2.1.4 - This program will automatically bring together all the files you need to unlock and root your device in a few clicks, or flash it back to stock and re-lock it. You can also use this program to backup/restore all your important data, flash zips, set file permissions, push and pull files, install apps, generate logcats/bugreports, and much more! With the included file association options, you can perform tasks like flashing zips, installing apps, restoring android backup files, and flashing/booting img files with just a double click! The program includes a full featured interface for automating tasks in TWRP, enhanced restore features, an in-built auto-updater/notification system, ‘any build’ mode, advanced restore features,’NRT- Live Log’ for viewing the adb/fastboot cmds that are run in the background, quick tools utilities, and tools for taking screenshots/screen-recordings. All the latest official Android builds and Nexus devices are supported. The program intelligently and selectively downloads the files it needs for your device and makes sure you are using the latest files available. The program can even auto-detect your device and build. This release brings full Marshmallow root support plus all automated features by utilizing a new system that no longer requires modified boot.imgs. Check out the updated changelog for a more comprehensive breakdown of the feature set and changes in this release.
~ my goal for this project is make the entire process as smooth and simple as possible ~

If you check the "flash custom recovery" checkbox under root, then yes.. however it defaults to flash TWRP, unless the user selects CWM in the options menu:
It also will take care of renaming the system files to ensure its sticks, and it will install the busybox installer (free) app by Stericson.

Nice. Will be nice to have this as a backup option . Definitely easier to use in terms of UI thank the Nexus 4 Root toolkit by mskip heh.
That backup option - is there a way, once unlocked and rooted, to grab my apps from the backup that were wiped, but not the entire thing? I downloaded about 8GB of apps before rooting, so I have no way to backup, I think. :[
Alright did it, rooted. Used the backup option a couple times trying to get it to work all the way, but for some reason, it only backed up about half of my apps.
The best rooting kit in the land

Just unlocked and rooted my N4 with this... great piece of software as always Wug, thanks Donated you some cash.
Hey guys quick two questions:
1) When I was unrooting through this toolkit, it said that there were three files that were not found in the directory, but continued to go through the process regardless, and it appears that I was successful. I can't remember the names as the command prompt ended before I had the chance to screenshot it. Am I okay?
2) If I go through the unrooting process through this toolkit, and then the OEM Lock process, does that basically put my phone back to the way it was when I received it?
Thanks!
Thanks for this, while I know my way around the manual commands okay, this will make everything a breeze for me tomorrow when my Nexus 4 arrives.
Will turn on, get the newest OTA, then unlock and root with your app.
Out of interest, can you still get OTA updates on stock with a custom recovery installed, or do you need to keep the stock recovery? I plan on sticking with stock until the custom ROMs get more stable, so I will stay on a default recovery if I can't use OTA updates. Otherwise I'll just flash a custom recovery with your app and get it done for future use.
This might be a dumb question.. But can I use this to root my Nexus 4 without unlocking the bootloader (thus wiping data)? Or has there not been a way found to do that yet?

1.) Yes, those are sig files. They are always missing. For whatever reason google doesn't include sig files in their packages and fastboot still checks for them. I guess google doesn't bother because they are redundant considering you need to be unlocked flash stock with fastboot. I can't suppress that output, so it just always will say that.. no worries.
2.) Yes, not basically.. exactly. Everything will be wiped, and you device will be exactly as it was when you received it.

No, you need the stock recovery. That said, in advanced utilities of the toolkit their is a button just for restoring stock recovery, so you can just do that if you want to when an OTA comes out (assuming you didn't make any other big system mods) if you had previously flashed a custom recovery. Also.. you can use temp recovery whenever you want as long as you have access to a computer with the toolkit.

im having trouble unrooting my device....i get to the part where it says press ok to install please be patient, and then a command pops up but nothing happens, it just stays there...
edit: i keep getting to the Flash stock and Unroot screen, but nothing happens at that point! help!
Are these the steps to unlock and root and be able to receive OTA updates?
1. Click on "Full Driver Installation Guide"
2. Connect phone to computer
3. Click on Unlock
4. Click on Root and leave "Custom Recovery" box unchecked.
Then, after OTA updates are installed, re-click "Root" since OTA update will unroot?
