I read a thread that someone successfully did it. I think they used wugs toolkit but I could be mistaken.

The 32gb is identical to every other n7 except for the memory. No reason it shouldn't work.

Yes I was able to root mine right away using the Nexus 7 Toolkit found in the Android Development Forum. Easy Peasy. Option 8 in the kit does it all for you: unlock, root, busybox, etc.

Hi there, the new all-in-one tools in the development section can simply un-root your nexus 7 if you want to return your nexus 7 for warranty. If I were you, I'd wait for the 15 day warranty to end before rooting just to avoid any hassle. Most issues would be noticed by that time anyway
One more question, I've only ever had an htc. Fo any other device like the galaxy nexus and this tablet do I have to get some sort of "s-off"?

I say, not to worry about any of that, actually I just rooted my nexus 7 yesterday using the nexus 7 toolkit and no problems so far

Root?

I've looked and haven't found anything but figured I'd ask, is there an easy root app for the nexus 7 so I don't have to use a computer sorta like the old school evo?

Not that I'm aware of, you have to install the nexus7 toolkit on your pc and connect the N7 by usb to root it.
Bleh that's what I thought oh well will have to wait until friend gets home with the computer

Don't use a toolkit please. I would hate to have to help you unbrick it in this thread or another.
Its very very very simple to do it manually. Its a nexus device.

Nexus = No toolkit.
did you know that nexus actually means 'A connection or series of connections linking two or more things'? well you know it now.

My 16GB Nexus 7 is only 6GB after Flashing Stock Firmware

Please note the included screenshot.
I used the batch script that comes with the latest firmware from googles support page (flash-all.bat if I recall).
Now it's only showing 6GB available. Does anyone know the best way to fix this?

Are you sure its not a 8gb model by mistake?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
I am absolutely 100% sure that it is a 16GB model. I've searched and found several threads with my same problem and the only suggestions are to return it.
I paid 250$ for a 16GB model from Google play a few months ago. I will see if I can screenshot my purchase so I can convince the other viewers of this thread.
Does anyone have any ideas? I've seen options to repartition sd card in clockworkmod recovery mode, does anyone have experience with that option? Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Is this proof enough for everyone? I am 100% positive it's a 16GB model

XDA App? KitKat

is it me or is the XDA app a little buggy since the KK upgrade?
Mine never highlights the correct message and force closes a bit.
I actually just restored my tab to so its a brand new install.
Not a huge deal but just wondering if the app was bing updated or its just something with my tablet.
thanks

The free version of the paid version? I've got the paid version and it doesn't seem to work right, even on my Xperia Miro running 4.0.4.
For me the problems started already on 4.3, but they continue on 4.4
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Have the same problems. Started on 4.3 as well... Drives me crazy. Can't hardly "thank" anyone without creating a new post underneath it and also my recents are usually not updated.... I've tried everything.... Terrible.

I have the same issue both with paid and free, tho the xda HD is OK but the layout takes a while to get used to.
Is the new appv4 any better.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
The paid app has sucked ever since it was upgraded.

It was getting buggy for me 2, so switched to the tapatalk app which is far better, recommend giving it a go.

The point is we shouldn't HAVE to use tapatalk. I don't follow a lot of forums so the XDA app and Bacon Reader is all I need. It should just work. Especially the paid version.

It does need fixed, maybe everyone needs to submit feedback/report the bugs. I definitely recommend tapatalk though as it's just better and is getting updated. I don't follow a load of forums either, just use it specifically for xda.

I just tried tapatalk app and i must say WOW. screw xda app i am never going back to it now.
Thanks for the taptalk suggestion.
