Would some kind soul point me in the direction of a working genie.apk file for the Nexus 7?
I tried bringing over the apk from my GNEX but it won't install. I'm not rooted and miss my news & weather.
Thanks in advance for any help.
You have too be rooted because it's had to go in system. If you want to do it check out this thread

Hello all!
Shortly after getting my new nexus for Christmas I've unlocked it using adb and fastboot. I'm looking for a tether solution for this phone. Also if some one could point me in the right direction as to creating a backup image before i get too crazy modding and such it would be appreciated. I'm currently using the android version 4.0.2 Any tips,suggestions,comments regarding this device would be appreciated.
This is the Nexus S form. You would have better results looking and posting in the Galaxy Nexus form.

My apologies, can an admin kindly move this post to the correct board?
I just ordered an ASUS Google Nexus 7 32gb wifi only tablet and was just wanting to verify that this is the right forum to reseach rooting my tablet. If it is do the tools work on wifi only and 3G tablets.

This is the right forum, I used the tool kit in the link below and it worked a treat. Just make sure to read through the thread and search it if you have any queries. You can always ask for help if your stuck. Good luck

Right forum. I use MSkips toolkit for mine. I think its more user friendly. It offers an all-in-one unlock, root, flash custom recovery, recommend which boot loader is most compatible for rooting, etc. It also offers an option to download fresh 4.1.2 or 4.2 if you want to regress from 4.2 or you mess something up. Good stuff.

You can also find tutorials that will step you through the process manually.
Toolkits have the disadvantage that if something goes wrong, you will have no idea what it was doing or how to fix it.
Thanks for the heads up.

Gonna need a laptop for this bud... Not only do you need the stock image but you also need to relock the bootloader...

I just got this nexus 7. Having a hard time searching on how to root it. Can someone kindly point me in the right direction so I can get rooting out of the way so I can start flashing ROMS. Hope this is not too bad. I rooted my HTC sensation last year

Hello all,
I've followed all the instructions posted on how to root my Nexus 4 on either YouTube and XDA. However, I keep getting the same "waiting for device" message once I set my device into bootloader mode. Any tips on what can or must I do next to solve this issue?
Thank you and I appreciate any help I get in here in advance

Use Wugs toolkit to install the device drivers

Well my first thought is to make sure you have USB debugging enabled. After that I would try the PDA net drivers instead of the one that came with the toolbox. I had a similar issue and that fixed it.

Mine was a pain to root. Drivers wouldn't update, other things didn't work, and the toolkit kept saying my ADB was off. The problem was my sdk wasn't up to date. Once I fixed that, I just used the ADB method and it was done in ten minutes.

Thank you so much. I'm downloading the Wugs toolkit now. Will revert back once I've installed and root my device
p/s - sorry for the noob mistake of posting this in the wrong thread. I think it was already moved by an admin.

I have apparently enable USB debugging but the issue still persists. I'm gonna try BigSimon's suggestion and will let you know if it works.
Anyway, thank you so much for the feedback
