No, you're flashing system which puts all that stuff back anyway. However, the failed flash on bootloader definitely concerns me. If necessary, you may have to flash the factory image using their scripts. WARNING: this will wipe data so have stuff backed up. But it's an option if all else fails.

Everything important is backed up so I can try the HoN script again or I can FDR and try updating Google's way. I have the 5.0.2 nandroid backed up and all night to figure this thing out. I will be running 5.1.0 before I go to bed

I'll let you know how things go in the not moot community thread so I don't clog this one up. Far as I'm concerned your script is the nuts and the problems are on my end.

[Sabres032]

So I restored my nandroid, erased the HoN from my computer and all the 5.1 files. Re-downloaded the HoN and the Nexus 7 Wi-Fi 5.0.2 image file. Extracted the HoN to my C:\ drive and followed the instructions in OP. The script hung after flashing the TWRP image file. 

 

Here is the script from the flashme.bat.

It was attempting to flash system, which as we know is rather large. This more than suggests USB issues with your machine.

Finally figured that out this morning. The script took almost 12 minutes from the time recovery finished flashing to showing sending the system image. That's why I thought it was hanging. No worries though, I took a deep breath, ran the script again, waited patiently and now have 5.1 installed. Thank you good sir, great bit of magic you have written.

Now to work on the USB port.

[SamuriHL]

Very nice.  Glad you got it installed!

[s3inks]

5.1 FTW!  HoN is awesome.  Thank you for your effort and time writing and maintaining these tools.

Hey Sam,

 

i have a question that I do believe has yet to see referenced, I do believe that if the user partition is encrypted then one would take the option to not format the user space. But are there any issues using the HoN with encrypted phone? Or should I decrypt it before updating it to 5.1 via the HoN?

Thanks in advance and you are still making the best tools man!

 

/hades

[SamuriHL]

I run encrypted (really everyone should in this day and age) and have no problems. If you're running stock and wipe data, the empty data partition will be encrypted by default.  So either way is fine.

Yea everything is encrypted for me as well, just wanted to make sure is all! Thanks a bunch man!

[hadeshorn9]

Finally got my laptop all set to go for the upgrade...
20 minutes later, unlock twrp installed, rooted and upgraded!
HoN yet again proves the Samuri is truly the master!

Excellent work Sam!! no issue what so ever.

 

Thank you Good sir for yet another fine utility

[matjmonk]

Oh most honorable Samuri, I most humbly beg thy indulgence and request that thee impart a kernel of wisdom to me on a most vexing issue. I've downloaded thy honorable HoN multiple times and extracted the files to my most unworthy C:\ directory. I've also followed all thy directives on placing files in the correct paths but when I execute thy wondrous JAR file, it never sees the upgrade file to begin it's script generation. I've tried everything my unworthy self can think of even entering the name of the file manually which your esteemed application found most vexing giving this lowly serf the error message that is below. As this unworthy one previously stated, I've downloaded the application and system image files numerous times without success. Any ideas that you could provided would be most welcome oh wise one!

What the hell image is that?  It sure did not come from here:

 

https://dl.google.co...ry-cf313164.tgz

 

Notice the tgz on the end rather than the tar in your pretty little sod off picture there.  

[matjmonk]

Actually, it is the same file that I got from the "official" Nx6 image download page, I probably just typed the extension in wrong. But I'll download the one from the link in your reply and see what happens.

 

Edit - it looks like Windows or something is messing with me, it keeps downloading it with the .tar extension instead of .tgz!

[SamuriHL]

So rename it.

[matjmonk]

Already did that oh wise Samuri!

[SamuriHL]

And? Did it work after you renamed it?

[matjmonk]

And? Did it work after you renamed it?

Why yes it did!! Mucho Thank You!!!!

[RikRong]

Awesome work as usual, Sam.  Just used this to update my Nexus 7, zero issues and now on 5.0.2. Woot!

[SamuriHL]

Added a warning to the OP about using this tool for downgrading.  NOT recommended so please do not do it.  Flashing a previous bootloader will brick the device.

[SamuriHL]

1.3 RELEASED

 

o) New option to ask if you want to flash the bootloader.  Unless you are flashing the same version or attempting to downgrade, say yes to this prompt.

o) Added a new command to wipe the data partition when a user selects to wipe data.  There was a bug causing 64 gig devices to act like 32 gig devices until the data partition was wiped.

 

WARNING: Downgrading has NOT been tested.  You run the risk of bricking your device if you attempt it.  HOPEFULLY without flashing the bootloader it MAY work.  But use at your OWN risk.
