What’s new in Nexus Root Toolkit 1.8.5 (July 30th, 2014)
· Removed legacy/redundant driver methods and replaced them with fully automated driver solutions via DpInst.exe. The toolkit no longer uses third-party driver installers and extensive pictorial walk-through’s. Now there are three fully automated driver solutions (Google, PdaNet, & Universal) which only require one click to install. The Raw/manual method and pictorial walk-through is still included.
· Enhanced the NRT Uninstaller to provide an option for also uninstalling the drivers.
· All auto-downloaders now present a “retry download” option if it fails in addition to the manual download method.
· Improvements to the updater, progress bar won’t get stuck on 1% and say mismatch, it will now always go to 100%, and if you get the mismatch you can retry the download.
· Just like the root procedure, advanced utilities > flash perm > “flash recovery” button now also renames recovery-from-boot.p to ensure recovery sticks.
· Android L-preview added, full support will be included when its officially released.
· Full KTU84Q 4.4.4 support.
· Updated toolkit to use the latest platform-tools and Google driver files from the SDK.
· Bug fixes and optimizations.
