A few days after the Nexus 4 Toolkit was released, now there’s everything possible for the Nexus 10 tablet with the toolkit being released by the XDA developers. There are a lot of developer options and changes that can be done to the Nexus 10 tablet, using the toolkit. From installing drivers to rooting, backing up and restoring the device, the single toolkit does most of the job for the user who wanted to get things done in an easy way.
The GOOGLE NEXUS 10 TOOLKIT V1.3.0 does the following jobs:
- Installation of adb/fastboot drivers to your PC with Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows Vista or XP on 32bit/64bit
- Backing up and restoring a single package or the entire load of apps, user data and the Internal storage
- Backing up of the /data/media (virtual SD Card) section for the Full Safe backup of the data
- Unlock/Re-Lock the Bootloader
- Root Stock Jelly Bean builds (upto 4.2.0 JOP40C)
- 1-Click For All to Unlock the Bootloader, Root, Rename the Restore File and Flash Custom Recovery
- Pull /data and /system folders, compress to a .tar file and save to your PC
- Flash Custom Recovery or Google Stock Image to phone
- Rename the Recovery Restore File present on some Stock ROMS
- Use adb sideload in Custom Recovery to root/unroot zip files very easily
- Boot into CWM Touch Recovery without Flashing it
- Boot or Flash .img Files directly from your PC
- Pull Files from your phone to your PC
- Dump selected LogCat buffers to your PC
- Install a single apk or multiple apk’s to your phone
- Push Files from your PC to your phone
- Dump BugReport to your PC
- Set Files Permissions on your phone
- Open new Command Prompt for manual input
- Reboot Phone to Fastboot Mode or Android from fastboot mode

NANDROID Backup –
The Nexus 10 Toolkit would perform a FULL NANDROID Backup of your system (Boot, Cache, Data, Recovery and System) via adb and save in Custom Recovery format on your PC, and this backup can be later Restored via CWM Recovery
For those who are wondering whether it is possible to root the Nexus 10 using this toolkit without unlocking the bootloader, it isn’t possible because you would need to have the bootloader unlocked as the booting and flashing of images can be done only when the unlock is done. You can again lock the bootloader after rooting the device.
Rarely there are users who might not be able to install the drivers of the Nexus 10 in their Windows 8 OS, and that’s an issue with the Driver Signature Enforcement. Here’s what you need to do:
- Go to Settings by moving your mouse to the extreme right corner where the pop-out bar would appear, and then click on the wrench icon
- Click on “More Settings” and then “General”
- Scroll down, and click ‘Restart now’ under ‘Advanced startup’.
- Click ‘Troubleshoot’.
- Click ‘Advanced Options’
- Click ‘Windows Startup Settings’
- Click Restart.
- After the computer restarts you would need to click on “Disable Driver Signature Enforcement” from the list, and then the driver installation would happen without a problem.
