What’s new in Nexus Root Toolkit 1.9.9: November 26th, 2014
· New feature for flashing a build specific ‘No-forced Encryption’ boot.img [for Nexus 6 & 9]: Advanced Utilities > Fastboot Flash > Boot > ‘No-Force Encrypt’ button
· Root method no longer relies upon root_kernels, but rather utilizes Chainfires latest and greatest SuperSU.
· Added a dedicated ‘Vendor’ button in advanced utilities for flashing that image on the Nexus 9.
· Added new Fastboot Erase and Fastboot Format features (advanced utilities), which allow users to perform batch wipe operations after selecting the partitions with checkboxes.
· Added new ‘OEM Device Info’ button in advanced utilities ‘Quick Tools’
· Re-organized advanced utilities into top-level blocks ‘Fastboot Flash’ and ‘Fastboot Boot’ respectively; so previous features like ‘Restore Stock Recovery’ can now be found in a sub-gui after hitting Fastboot Flash ‘Recovery’ Button.
· Restore Stock Kernel script no longer performs a temp boot test operation, it just flashes it.
· Flash TWRP/CWM/PHILZ/OTHER scripts, now allow you to disable the additional operation of flashing ‘perm-recovery-signed.zip’ which is only needed the first time you flash an alternate recovery (so for example if you are just upgrading to a new version of TWRP, you can forgo flashing that zip and just have NRT flash the new version).
· Fastboot device detection now auto-retries to connect once if it doesn’t the first time.
· Updated the included adb/fastboot binaries to the latest platform-tools release from the SDK
· Added an automatic check to see if ‘Bluestacks’ application is running on start, to ask the user if they want NRT to close it (because this application causes conflicts with NRT)
· Bug fixes to multi-updater to deal with scenarios where not all files are available for a device yet (like TWRP currently for Nexus Player)
· Minor bug fixes, code optimizations, and feature enhancements.
