Most people probably think I have stopped development on the Toolkit as it has not been updated in a few months and emails have not been responded to. This is most definitely not the case and I would like to take a minute to explain and aplogise.

I was involved in an accident in January and had quite major injuries to my hands and arms. I have had multiple corrective surgery over the past few months but have not been able to use a computer at all. I asked a colleague to answer my emails but he has only answered about 10% and I have built up around 600 unanswered emails. The Toolkit makes nowhere near enough money to employ someone to help so its up to me to sort it out. My hands are well enough now to type and use a mouse but I have a huge backlog of emails and updates to get through so I am asking people to be patient with emails. I will start with the most recent and work my way backwards as there is no point in answering emails from 4 months ago, If you have written to me for an activation code then I would ask you and have not been answered I would ask you to send another email and I promise I will get back to you. A few people gave up waiting and asked for their money back through paypal and I have no problem with that but would like to say a big sorry to those people and hope they may come back to the Toolkit in the future. I will get back to everyone who has written to me, it may just take a while.

To make things even worse my hard drive crashed a few days ago and I have lost all my source files and configuration files. I am downloading files right now from my servers to rebuild the source files, reinstall programs and get back to a working position again.

On to updates and I uploaded new device files for all the Nexus and Google devices which cover up to March firmware and have download Nexus/Google May firmware images and will definitely be uploading AutoUpdates over the weekend. These AutoUpdates will be for Nexus6, Nexus 5X, Nexus 6P, Nexus 9, Nexus Player, Google Pixel C, Google Pixel and Google Pixel XL. Once they are done I will be adding support for the OnePlus 3T, Samsung 7 and Samsung 7 Edge and will try to add initial support for the Samsung S8 and S8 Plus. These will all be done in the next week. After that I will start updating all the Samsung devices (long overdue) and OnePlus devices. I want everything updated within the next 2-3 weeks to support the latest firmware.

Lastly (and I understand fully) support for the Toolkit has been hit hard due to my absence and lack of support and it needs a serious cash injection to keep going. If you use the Toolkit at all and it has helped you in any way I plead with you PLEASE consider donating to a Device module or buy the Ultimate mode to cover all devices present and future. Its well worth it and will be saving a very worthwhile project. Without your support I cannot with the Toolkit and will fight to keep it running to my last breathe.

To the people who do support the Toolkit I thank you from the bottom of my heart and pledge to keep building and growing the Toolkit into the future. I have some very exciting ideas how to improve it and would love to see them implemented.

If you made it this far without falling asleep, thank you again.

Support for googles new Nexus replacements, the Pixel and Pixel XL Android SmartPhones have been added to the SkipSoft Unified Android Toolkit.

As there is no stock firmware or custom recovery images available yet the Toolkit is limited to its basic (yet still ample) functions. Disabled functions are flashing stock firmware images, which will be added as soon as they are available, and functions that require the use of a custom recovery image such as rooting. Drivers can be installed where needed, the bootloader unlocked where allowed (I do not know whether any carriers such as verizon have locked the bootloader but I assume the majority will be unlockable) and lots of other functions performed.

XDA Support forums: Google Pixel, Google Pixel XL.

To add support for the new devices you can either download the Toolkit v1.5.4 from *HERE* or you can run ToolkitClean.exe (assuming you have already installed the Toolkit) and select option 62 to update the Toolkit.exe file to the latest version.

If anyone uses the Google Pixel or Pixel XL device modules please give feedback in the forum as to button combinations to get to fastboot mode and on the bootloader unlock option to make sure it works as expected.

Enjoy, Mark.

DEVICE MODULE V1.0.6

Changelog:
+Fixed minor bug when using Toolkit to switch to different working device
+Added info in recovery flash option about rebooting before booting to recovery
+Added root/decryption support for MDA89D build with kpatch/decrytpion file
+Added fastboot erase commands to factory image flash for cleaner update

Pro users can just start the Toolkit as normal. After you have selected your device you will be notified there is an update available and can auto update. SIMPLE.

Non Pro users have a few extra steps.
1. Exit the Toolkit if it is open.
2. Run ToolkitClean.exe from the intallation folder (or the Start Menu)
3. Select the Nexus 6P from the list (option 06)
4. Type ‘y’ or ‘yes’ (without the quotes) to delete the existing module files and settings for the Nexus 6P
5. Restart the Toolkit, select the Nexus 6P and new module files will be downloaded/installed

If you want to donate to the Nexus 6P project please do it through the Toolkit (after selecting the device at startup) so you get the right code fast.

Enjoy, Mark.
