Is my nexus 7 unlock and rooted? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
how do i check to see if my nexus 7 is unlock and root?
I can see 'unlock' logo when I boot up the unit...
now when I go to SuperSU .. and click 'i want to update.." it keep saying that it can't be update
I'm using GameCIH and that doesn't work either...nor rootexplorer to folders in the data area..
i'musing 4.1.2.
thanks

See if you can use Titanium Backup from the market. It will tell you if you have root, which I think you don't

There's a Factory Reset option in the settings...I did it before returning my 1st Tab (though it wasn't rooted). Would that work?

Im trying to retrace my steps and restored the nvflash backup img i created and figured out this only affects the recovery mode.
Im not sure if I need the zip file to unroot it and install using recovery mode.
Or maybe i should just delete the superuser apk?

Why you shouldn't

You should just wait till we get proper methods.
Flashing different rooting and CWM methods could lead to improper use of the phone.
I would just wait if I was you..

Reboot the device. If you see an unlocked padlock logo on the 'Google's boot screen you done good ツ

I think that that only means that you have the bootloader open... not root.
The best point is use any app that needs root access and check it.

How to stop ota?

How do I stop the 4.2 ota? I been reading a lot of bad news about it and no support for stickmount app which I use a lot. I already checked with titanium backup but I can't find the right app to freeze in order to stop firmware updates. Anyone know how to do it?

I really don't want to wipe all my data and I want to keep it just stock. I mess around with my gs3 enough I want to leave my nexus 7 stock rooted. I use stickmount on a daily basis so I'm not going to 4.2 until it is compatible

Root your nexus and disable ota.
I recommend using wugs toolkit to root since it is so easy
And 'Gemini app manager' or 'Root app delete' ('disable' or 'block' ota, just dont 'uninstall'.
thx for the advice.. i was given another solution which i prefer a bit more..

I followed this guide. It took about 3 minutes and it works. To get updates back I assume just delete the apk from /system/app right/?
