Why a L and a F version ?
L means lite : the two versions offers the same functionnalities but the F (full) version include the system images of android. If you just want to root your device, you can choose the L version. If your device has some problems (android won't boot...) use the Full version to restore it.
The L version is about 50Mo, the F one is about 350Mo.
I don't really know Android, should I use this toolkit ?
You use this toolkit at your own risks. I'm not responsible in case of bricked devices. If your device has some problems, search a tutorial explaining how to restore your device by flashing things with Adb & fastboot : Efrant has made a really easy to understand one.
Your toolkit don't work, what can I do ?
Report your problem here, if there's something wrong with the toolkit : I'll fix it.

Yes, that's it.
The toolkit don't really offers new functionalities, excepted the native custom Kernel installation. But i'm planning on others options to make the toolkit more efficient :good:

Re: [TOOLKIT] Nx4Toolkit v1.0

I think the nexus 4 toolkit which is stickied stopped working properly after the 4.2.2 update when it comes to rooting etc... Most things still did tho... So if this works all around then that's good...!
Keep it up...

1.2 Mac update
Just a post to tell you that I've updated the Mac toolkit.
New things :
-Toolkit update function
-OTG install fix
-Get back to stock with Android 4.2.2
-The possibility to install a custom ROM from the toolkit (such as P.A or CM)
I think it's one of the last update before Android 5.0, the P.C version will be up to date this week to have the same functions as the Mac version
Important note : The new version is very big (about 330Mo) cause of the android system.img included. I think you would like a lite version of the program including only the toolkit essentials : i'm planing on it.

Here gave error in time to start the toolkit. The system can not start the program, because the original item could not be found.
I'm using ML 10.8.3

Oh ! I know the reason of this problem : the file on the desktop is pointing of a file located on my personal home directory. I'm actually fixing it.
If you want to use the toolkit right now, just go to Macintosh hd / User / Your user name / Nx4toolkit / Nx4toolkit
thanks for reporting.

Fixed
To fix the problem : type "ln -s ~/Nx4toolkit/nx4toolkit ~/Desktop/Nx4toolkit-1.2" without quotes in terminal.app
The fixed full package is actually uploading. I'll edit the O.P tonight.
Edit : the original package is now fixed

1.2 update
I've updated the windows version to 1.2
Now, you can enable OTG, install a custom ROM, restore your device as stock without downloading files, check for updates directly from the toolkit.
The backup and restore are a little bit different, you can give a name to the backup files and restore any ".ab" file to your device.
Hope you'll enjoy this update. If you have any problem, please, report it to this theard. Thanks.

Thanks for this piece of software, needed something like this for the mac to backup my Nexus 4.
Any ETA on 1.2 mac update? Also does the USB OTG work with a standard OTG cable or is a special cable needed for the extra power?

Now you can fully backup your nexus 4 on your mac !
I've made two versions of Nx4Toolkit : a lite (just the essentials) and a full one including the android images.
For the OTG, it's based on Ziddey work, so you'll need to see his own theard on it for a support, but I'm sure that an external power is needed.
****
Would you like an user interface for Nx4Toolkit ?

---

I wish to uninstall the full version for the lite, is it just a matter of dragging the folder to trash and deleting or is there a cleaner way?

---

There's no "clean way" to uninstall. Just delete the Nx4toolkit folder in your home directory. But I think you can start the new install without deleting nothing : It will overwrite the actual Nx4Toolkit.

Great job man! = D
Tell me something: When I want to spend the stock image, just put the. Tgz image in some folder there, and the toolkit will already recognize and restore or it will download from Google's servers?
