Nexus 7 Rooting

How to Root A Nexus 7
Supported Versions Wi-Fi 16GB/32GB Android 4.1.1 to 4.2.1

 Summary: Hello, this is a guide to rooting your Nexus 7 device using a simple Nexus 7 toolkit. Get the toolkit from here. Before we get started you must turn USB debugging mode on and have enough battery to last about 20 minutes. I am not responsible if your device is bricked or for any damage but I have tested and successfully used it on mine. If the developers options are hidden, goto Settings>About Tablet and tap the Build Number (at the bottom) to unlock the developer options.

 How to Use: 1. First open up the program, and it asks whether you want to update or no. Type in "no" because you have just installed the latest version and hit "enter".

 2. Type the number which is your device version listed and hit "enter". Before doing anything else, make sure your device is not connected to your laptop/computer. Choose "1" to install drivers on your PC. It is essential to install it, otherwise your device will not connect.

 (Optional) 3. Backup up your apps and data "2" and hit "enter". Just type whatever number is recommended.

 4. Before you can root your Nexus 7, you must unlock the bootloader which wipes all your use data from your device.(Number "3") It will ask you if you are in FastBoot mode or not. If you are, type "yes", if you do not know what FastBoot mode is or is not in FastBoot mode, type "no". To tell if you have successfully unlocked the bootloader,when you turn your device on, under the Google logo it should have an unlocked lock.

 5. Now it is time to root your device. Its pretty much the same as unlocking the bootloader. When your in at Root Options, type "2", to Root Device and Install BusyBox.

 (Optional)6. Install number "6", CWM Recovery which is a replacement for your recovery mode, incase anything goes wrong when you are playing around your rooting.
