[Guide] Rooting the Nexus 7 - 4.2 (JOP40C)

Preparation:
Open your device manager(PC)
Control Panel -> Device Manager
Remove literally everything to do with Android/Electronics a.k.a
Nexus, Android, Nexus 7, Androids, HTC, HTCDrivers (you get the picture)
Next Step
Plug your Nexus in, CHANGE THE SETTINGS TO CAMERA(P2P) not MTP
Also ensure USB Debugging is checked.
Getting the required program:
Now, download the latest WugFresh toolkit.
Direct Download (Goo.IM)
Wugs Site
Once Downloaded:
Open ToolKit and Click "Full Installation Drivers with guide"
Choose the PDA.Net method.
Follow the Guide and let the drivers install, it should also install PDA.Net at the same time (on PC) which should appear in bottom right of screen (PC Screen)
When Drivers are Installed:
Once the drivers are installed, go to the ToolKit again, under "Build Type" choose "Nakasi All Build TYPES **"
Rooting:
Now, when your build type is set to all build types, proceed with "Root", follow instructions again and it should reboot into a "Temporary TWRP", this is great.
Flashing Necessary Root Files:
Navigate to SDCard, ReadyToFlash! and find BusyBox and SuperSU, flash them using TWRP.
Clear Cache
Reboot, VOILA!
IF IVE MISSED ANYTHING OR YOU'D LIKE TO SEE ANYTHING ADDED, LET ME KNOW AND I'LL GET IT DONE !!

This will work for all Android versions. The 4.2 specifics is getting the drivers installed to recognise the N7. (Also the CamperP2P not MTP)

I wanted to test but the download is too slow (2 hours).

Is the same procedure valid for Nexus 7 3g?
Thanks

I have a nexus 7 in 4.2 and I have been very successful in the root. However, it must accurately.
Disabled security options on the Control of Android applications and behavioral allow installation of application from memory, if the root does not work.
The interface of the application should be reviewed at ergonomic figures to describe the sequence of steps (1. 2. 3.) ...
Otherwise it is a good job, thank you again for sharing your knowledge.
Sorry for my bad english

Should be exactly the same, as all build types are selected, just ensure you choose the right software version.

Can you guys help me..i can't run su command again after update to 4.2..how to give some application like es explorer root access in 4.2. Thank,s.

You don't need BusyBox to root. I'd recommend avoiding it because it has been known to cause problems with system updates in the past.

BusyBox is not a MUST but its recommended.
It just provides more commands for Linux/Unix based functions. (Probably more useful for advanced users)

Would this work for JOP40D version firmware?
Can't see anywhere on here detailing how to root that version of the Nexus 7.
Cheers

I just rooted my N7 (JB 4.2.1/JOP40D) using Nexus 7 Toolkit v 4.0.0
It's quite easy to do. I basically needed to root so I can use OTG usb to mount USB Flash Drive so I can watch Videos/Movies.

Root not needed to do this. I can do it just fine on 4.2.1 unrooted.

Thanks for the reply. I'm guessing I need to separately unlock the bootloader before rooting? I literally have no idea how to do this. I rooted my Droid 2 a while ago and it was dead simple, this seems a lot more complicated! Also, is this is the same procedure for the 3g nexus?

Any1 else want a linux guide?

Hi All,
I wanted to check if i can root my Nexus 7 (16gb wifi) and continue to use the stock rom that is currently running ?
i.e. i want to use OrBot for proxy which needs superuser access hence need to root, but i want to continue using the stock rom that has come with Nexus 7. I couldn't find much detail on continuing with the stock rom.
Also can i use the "Settings"->"About Tablet"->"check for updates", when the next update comes even after i root my device or should manually update ??
Thanks,
Anup.

too long??

How does it take 2 hours to download a 24 mg file??

not working says it dont regaize my usb 2.0 i dont know why cain fastboot it shows adb user in device manager!!

Need computer-less rooting method please!

Hey everyone,
So I bought the Blu R1 HD 16gb/2gb on amazon for 60 bucks, super stoked with its performance and look (although who can complain for the price of a family meal?).
My only problem is that I've been unable to root it. I know that I can easily root it with a computer, but for whatever reason my computer is unable to install any drivers for anything! Does anyone know of a rooting app that is compatible with the phone, or a way to root it with out a computer?
Please don't respond telling me how to install drivers, as I've tried everything; short of upgrading windows, that is.
P.S. Tried a bunch of apps already, none have supported rooting the R1 HD yet. I've tried kingo, king, towel, z4, and a bunch of others.
Thanks in advance!

Dude really? there is no other computer you could use to do it? your brother/sister father/mother some friend anything?... so sad

You're doing it wrong. We don't use ****ty rooting apps to root, we do it the RIGHT way. You have to install TWRP and flash SuperSU. You can do this the original way using SPFT, or the (more recommended) way of converting to OEM non-Prime, unlocking the bootloader, and using fastboot to flash TWRP.

No. No. You could not be more wrong. Android connects to macOS MORE correctly than it connects to Windows. It doesn't even need any drivers! At Google, they don't use Windows, they use macOS and Linux. That said, we don't have any SPFT for Mac, unfortunately, but that's MediaTek's fault, and there's no reason you couldn't use a Linux live USB to do it.

I use macOS sometimes, yes, but there is no SPFT for it. I use Linux mostly.

Well @ColtonDRG I wasn't really saying that it won't work, I was saying they don't like me fiddling with their computers, cause as a kid I messed up some of their stuff, and they really haven't gotten over it yet.
But say I could use one, those things would be all to root it? I would just get the necessary programs, convert OEM to non-prime, unlock the bootloader (assuming mine is locked), flash TWRP, and then Super SU? I'd be done with it in an hour or two?

You might need to convert your phone to the OEM non-Prime version first, but yes. There is no version of SPFT for macOS, so you'll need to use Windows or Linux for that, but the rest can be done on any OS. The whole process only takes me about 10 minutes, but if you don't know what you're doing, it would be reasonable to assume that you could do it in about a half an hour.
EDIT: Also my comment was in direct response to you saying:
"Yeah, they're all mac users, and android doesn't connect to it correctly."
Which implies that Macs cannot manipulate Android devices, which is simply not true.

So I'll be good using only Mac as long as I don't need to switch my OEM?

No. The Prime version of the phone requires SPFT to root, so you will need it either way. You can use SPFT to covert to the OEM version and then root using fastboot, or you can use SPFT to root the Prime version. I personally highly recommend converting.

It's been a long time since I rooted any phone or played around with adb or my linux mint (14). Would it be possible for you to tell me which guide you may have used for linux. I am using a windows 10 computer and cannot follow noob friendly guide for the life of me. My computer won't recognize the phone at all and I have disabled driver verification. Any help would be awesome.
Thanks

as far as i know there are no custom roms for this phone.
i myself have an LG G Vista VS880, i have had it rooted for the longest time now.
But you never know someone, somewhere may have one... i just know i have never found one and gave up looking.

Why cant the same rooting technique be used for the H740 .Also what version of kingo root works to root

Any updates on official ROOT for Samsung Galaxy Tab Active 2 (T395)

I thought I'd give the Galaxy tab active 2 / T395 a try out as I'm a big fan of the 'S pen' feature.
I have tried all the stand alone apks out there that claim they can root any android device; 'KingRoot, KingoRoot, OneClickRoot, z4mod.z4root, Rootmaster and Framaroot'. I'm sad to report, all of which do absolutely nothing, which is very dissapointing.
The only thing these ROOT apks do, is secretly install random unwanted programs and adverts to install other crap.
The device has been on the market for 7 months now, so can anyone provide any information updates as to when an official ROOT method for the Galaxy Tab Active 2 / T395 may be available by using Odin on the PC with the relevant 'CF-Auto-Root / TWRP' files?
Thanks for reading :good:

After much research and reading. There is a way of rooting the T395. Covered in this section by another member.
Having, myself followed the instructions, I can say my T395 active 2 , is fully rooted using the Magisk Manager method and patching the boot.img taken from the main downloaded firmware from sammobile website.
I guess things have moved on from using CF auto root and TWRP files for earlier android operating systems.
Hope this helps someone else out.

Step by step guide please

adb

I would like some help please.
I am wondering if someone could guide me in putting adb on my rooted note 5.
A little back ground. I dont have a pc at home right now and would like to allow a app called samsung package disabler devive ownership on my wifes S9 non rooted phone. This seems the only way to get the sister app pip to work on the newer android versions.
I have read that with adb intalled on a rooted phone and a otg cable its possible to send adb commands to a phone from a phone.
I have also tried a few tutorials i found on the wed but without any luck due to most lead to links that are no longer available.
So any layman instructions would be great. I am not ashamed to admit i am a beginner to adb. Thanks in advance.

Hi, as far as I know, adb is )unfortunately) not possible on our "dear" Note 5.
Can anyone please confirm though?

Thank you, i believe you might be right ?
