[VIDEO] Idiots Guide to Unlocking & Rooting the Google Nexus 7 Tablet - Nexus 7 General

I have done an Idiots Guide for other devices, and now its time for one on the Google Nexus 7 Tablet. I tried to make this guide as thorough as possible, including driver installation, so hopefully this will be as successful for you as it was for me. If you like this video, be sure to check out my other Nexus 7 and Android videos in my channel.
You do need to obtain Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit from here:

Today, after watching your video, tried to download your unlock programe for Nexus 7, however, after download began, I found I had downloaded tons rubbish, toolbars, shopping progs., and other unwanted rubbish.
It took me 20 minutes to find and remove all this junk, would be better if you put these files some where we can eaisly downlaod them, by the way, there is not the original prog., you mention .......... so I gave up.

thanks for the post.

Yes. My next video will demonstrate how to use an app to mount a usb drive. The app requires root, so this guide is necessary as a first step.

hey OP, i followed your video last night and after a few unplugs, task kills, etc. finally rooted my device.
i also followed your step to not flash CWM when rooting, but realize I might want to do that now. is it just as simple as plugging in the device again, then changing the option to CWM and clicking Root in wugs tool?
TIA.

That is a fantastic question. I will attempt to do this and get back to you with a response.

I have always rooted my phones after their warranty period has expired. I was waiting to do this with my N7 also but I see the toolkit had the option to return to stock and relock the device so I assume there is no warranty issue. Also rooting has come a long way and gotten much simpler than 1 to 2 years ago when I was rooting my G1, think will be rooting my N7 this weekend

How to Keep google from knowing what you have done to your nexus thread

*Okay so this is one of my first posts on this forum so please cut me some slack if I've made a mistake*
My Nexus seven tablet came in the mail today and I've been doing a lot of research on rooting it and installing a kernel. I've searched around the site using the search tool and looked around as much as I can but I just can't seem to find anything talking about how to completely reset the entire tablet as if it just came out of the box; the reason I'm asking this is because I plan on rooting it and installing my own kernel. The problem is I don't want to actually void the warranty in the situation that something were to happen to it that is covered by the warranty, I could reset the tablet completely and send it back to them without them knowing it was ever flashed or rooted!!
The question: there are programs out there that can be used on the computer and the device itself that will allow the user to completely reset the device using a backup taken from the device before any modifications are done to it; what are some programs that sound like those specifications, where can I get it and how can I use it?
ANY help will be rewarded with thanks

This is all that you need, download the factory image you need for your tablet and flash it with nexus root tool 1.52, it's an all in one application that allows you to unlock, root, install cwm and even flash images back to stock. When you flash a google factory image it will wipe the entier tablet and install the stock kernel.
Other than that you're good to go.

the only thing it won't do it re-lock your tablet so you'll have to do that wit another method.

The Nexus Root Toolkit 1.52 actually will also re-lock your boot loader. Bottom right button on the GUI.

dang, didn't even notice it . Updated my previous post, thanks!
It's a Nexus device. You don't have to worry about anything. If needed, download the factory image directly from Google, flash it, and fastboot oem lock to relock the bootloader. Good as new.
It doesn't matter what you have done on your nexus. Warranty covers manufacturer defects (screen lift, other defects people had, etc) and not damages from misuse (dropping it in water, bricking it by flashing a bad file, etc)
It's a Nexus device, made for unlocking and rooting. Google doesn't care one bit. If it has a hardware defect, they will replace it. They built these devices to be as open as possible for you to do anything you want with it.
They even go above and beyond for you to let you hack it and still have a great experience. Originally you couldn't view rented movies on a rooted system because of the movie licensing they had, they went and worked on changing that so rooted users can rent them too now.
Since Google talked about hacking their devices at Google I/O ... I don't think they care anymore ... the only reason they disable some apps due to root is to protect its content .. DRM protected content and like your Wallet
But just as a note ... flashing any factory image will restore your device completely ... so back up all photos, videos, etc ... stuff that isn't stored on the cloud

If you want updates after you root you have to flash them yourself. It's not that big of a deal, just like flashing anything else. Please don't try to OTA update a rooted device.
Samsung devices are the only ones that I know of that keep track of mods to your device.

You can accept and flash an OTA using a custom recovery, you'll just need to start the update manually.

Girl into Droid!

Hello everyone!
My name is Anastasia, I am 19 years old, from London.
Yesterday, I bought myself (thanks to my payday) a brand new Asus Google Nexus 7, 32gb, from Argos (shop).
I keep reading what you get with root, and it made me WANT to root it.
Here's my information:
Nexus 7
JOP40D
4.2.1
So, the tablet is brand new, and I HAVEN'T touched it, except when I downloaded few Apps. So, all I want, is to ROOT it in the safest and easiest way. I am scared that it brakes? Anyways, what is the FIRST step? I need it rooted and ready to rock. (Themes, Hide bar, etc.). What, Should, I, Do? Thanks a lot to everyone! I hope I can make it? Take care xoxo
Welcome to the NEXUS 7 BANDWAGON.

Don't worry. The Nexus 7 is almost unbrickable (can't break it by messing with the software).
You should definatly root it, and when you get the knowladge of what you are doing get a custom recovery, and flash a new ROM, maybe a theme. Trust me you just got a device running android. It's never ending fun. :highfive:
Here you go. http://xda-university.com/.
That site will help you learn what you are doing.
U can try wugfresh toolkit. That's what i used and has the instructions with it. You will need to have adb set up. there video on YouTube showing steps to set it up with the nexus 7As for roms i have smoothrom installed u can change your theme with theme manager. U can download the themes from playmarket or on the xdA website.

Woah! Is that a brick? Nope. You can still go to the recovery partition and reflash a different kernel. Or you can boot to the bootloader and use fastboot to flash a new kernel. If you were bricked you would never be able to use your device again.

Hey @qbking77, Could you put in your OP which method you used please? Moto or CF's Autoroot?
Thanks!
:edit: I need to add why I'm asking - We have had a report of Motochopper not letting an app that needs root function properly where CF's Autoroot does. Being that it's early in the game, people may want to know this. I understand that CF has a disclaimer using the autoroot method but it's still a viable solution with the numbers coming in on successful. I do not believe we have had a failed attempt on Sprint devices. (Please correct me if I'm wrong)

Thanks for the video. I did get it to work though I ran into an error. It said that more than 1 deviced or emulator detected. I exited Bluestacks, pdanet and the Galaxy streaming server. After closing those programs, I ran the batch file and it was successful. I'm sure that bluestacks caused the issue. Just a warning for those using this program.

I used OTA Rootkeeper on my Nexus 7 with Sky Go and it worked fine, esentially temp unroot, and then use 'Root Checker' to see if your phone is actually unrooted. Make sure you fully close the Sky Go app and then try, it works for me. I'll test on my One and post the results in a bit
Edit: Just tried it, didn't work I'm afraid, hopefully another solution will appear soon!
Try this, it's what I have to do to get time warner live tv to work.
Go into system/app and rename superuser to SuperSU.
Next, go into the build.prop and there should be something that says build tags. It should say under that, "release-keys". Delete the words release-keys, leaving that part blank. Reboot. Should work if it's the same root checks as time warner.
