[Q] Nexus rooting question

Is there a way of rooting my nexus 7 by downloading a update file and flashing is through stock recovery? Just like on my other device (Samsung galaxy mini)

Nope

Ooow ok

root & recovery

Probably a dumb question but do you guys think we will have root & recovery by the time the at&t and other US based s4's ship?

Looks like Odin mode had write protection and tars need a signature.

Can I root and unlock?

Can I root and unlock my XT907 running 98.18.78.XT907.Verizon.en.us?
I want to start flashing ROMs (Specifically CM10.2) and what not, but I don't have root access. Directions are unclear whether I need to root before I unlock the boot loader, or if unlocking will also root my phone. I tried to root several times tonight, but was unsuccessful, I think this is due to the fact that I was not rooted when I accepted the OTA. Or it could be my wife's crappy computer?!?
Please let me know how to proceed. I appreciate the help.

Close this.

Please close this.

Yes you need clockworkmod recovery which requires root to install

Something is very wrong, please help!!!!

Hi everyone, so my nexus 10 was working great about an hour ago. I'm rooted, I have CWM Recovery, I was running CM 10.2 and I wanted to try out CM 11.... So I downloaded the zip file, wiped my data, wiped cache and dalvik cache, went to install the update and got an error 7 and install aborted. So then I went to install my backup that I had just created and.... Md5 mismatch. I can't boot past the Google except for into CWM. I'm at a loss, what should I do?! I only have a mac computer and when I plugged it in, the computer wouldn't recognize it. Please help!!!!! Thanks.

Redownload cm11 and try again. Maybe it was a bad download..

Best advice I can give is to find a friend who has a Windoze system and use the Wugfresh toolkit to re-flash factory stock from fastboot:

I found a toolkit for Mac, got her up and running. Just installed CWM again and going to root now. Thanks everyone.

If it fails just download cm11 on the computer and adb sideload the ROM.
