- · 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)

Changes for v1.9.6 - v1.9.7
- · Included the latest Masterlists to prevent users who never utilized the “Update” in the kit from getting the AutoIt error (for KTU84P Nexus 7 2013). This error was due to the modified boot.img for that build being accidentally removed from the server. Its was then reuploaded and the masterlists were updated, but those users who never updated would still get the error.

- · Redesigned entire dependency downloading system. No longer is the user prompted with numerous “Such and such file is not found in the local directory, press OK to download”, but rather there is a unified and dynamic interface for managing all required files/downloads per toolkit operation.
- · The two exe’s for managing downloads in the past “nexwug_DL_NRTfiles.exe” and “nexwug_DLnX.exe” are now consolidated to one hybrid downloader “nexwug_downloader.exe” which manages all downloads, hash-checking, and factory pack extraction operations.
- · Manual input for hash-checking is now only shown for files the toolkit doesn’t already have in the masterlists.
- · Automatic hash-checking is now also performed in files that are manually imported into the toolkit via the manual download interface (when/if server issues cause the automated downloader to fail)
- · Multi-device auto-update management has been revamped and redesigned, with new dynamic information displayed in the tray menu item that appears during the process. Fully integrated to work with the new hybrid downloader.
- · New double-check automatic device detection (can be disabled in the toolkit options) that quickly checks to see if your selected device is correct. If the toolkits auto-device detection determines that you selected the wrong device it automatically notifies the user and asks if you want to correct the selection.
- · Live-log is now governed by a quick toggle menu item in the main interface and also linked to the hotkey [ctrl+L]

Changes for v1.8.4 - v1.8.5
- · 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.

If you are on those builds on that device, the root script is no longer fully automated (as it does not use a modified boot.img) and will instead show you instructions on how to flash the appropriate root files.
- · Created modified boot.img for the new Nexus 7 (2013) Wifi device using the recently released factory image packages. This adds full automated rooting for this device as well as all the other automated features in the toolkit.
