I unlocked and rooted my n7 16g wifi with the Wugs Nexus Root Tolkit and apparently flashed TWRP, but i cant access to it. Its safe to flash it with the goo.imm app?
Sorry my english
If you selected to flash 'custom recovery' the one below the root button in Nexus root toolkit.
Once your device is fully booted up after being rooted. You will then see a new app on your device called like quick boot.

hi im new to the whole nexus 7 scene just got it today and its also my first nexus device. came from a highly locked down dx2 then to htc and now im trying this. i used the nexus root toolkit v1.5.5 to unlock and root and flash custom recovery. but when i hold power down+volume down i get into the boot loader and i choose recovery then GOOGLE splash screen comes up and it does absolutly nothing while no usb chord plugged in. with usb chord it stays at the google splash screen for but a moment then just boots into android.
i tried the advance utilities and flash the cwm that way but same results. im still on 4.1.0 jrn84d. what am i doing wrong? i don't fully understand adb so if there is quite litteraly a step by step please give me a link or write it down if no such link exists. my last hdd that had adb all setup and ready crashed so its not setup and i was talking to someone who helped me get it going. all i know is i need to use command prompt but getting it into adb and then using it to push and get into cwm i have no clue.
i would love to make a nandroid and then install a kernal to gget the full power out of this thing. it is unlocked and rooted already.
They using ROM Manager app to install CWM and also boot into recovery. Will work for sure as long as you're rooted.

If you follow the steps correctly, it should have a custom recovery installed. check if your rom is actually rooted.
EDIT: What the hell are you doing on 4.1.0? I thought factory stock was 4.1.1.
Use this:

Get GooManager from the play store. It can download and install TWRP recovery which I prefer. GooManager will let you reboot into recovery too.

lol i dunno just came with it. its the 16gb version dunno why it came with 4.1.0 but it did. and when i installed rom manager i flashed cwm with that then choose to boot into recover that way and it worked. i am unlocked and rooted and now have a nandroid. have yet to try going to cwm with power+volume down being pressed i will give it a shot later on and make another nandroid before i accept the update im being propted for.
ty guys for the help.
There was a bug that required the N7 to be connected to a PC-USB connection before it would work. They didn't fix the bug until 4.1.2.
Your best bet, if you can boot into Android, is to download a Reboot-to-Recovery app or use CWM or GooManager to reset into recovery. If you are boot looping, throw a USB connection into the mix when trying to do it. I believe it is VolDown+Power+USB connection. Drivers may also be a factor.
Thanks for the reply. I finally updated it. Had to do three updates though. First to 4.1.1 then to 4.1.2 and then to 4.2. I have a nandroid at 4.1.0 so if I need to do anything I'm just going back. I used ota root keeper and the cwm that's from rom manager allows you to choose to protect your custom recovery as well as root. But I don't know if that was working in tandem with ota root keeper since I made sure to back it up first before I did anything.

Ok every guide I looked at said you can easily flash something to gain root again well in order to flash anything you have to have root so it doesn't make any sense and I didn't see any guides on this or related posts and I'm running 4.2.2

fastboot oem unlock

boot into recovery
flash the supersu.zip root package.
What is so complicated about that?
you dont need root to flash something, you need an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery.....
i swear the word root has lost all meaning these days. everyone wants it, but it seems so very few actually understand what it is.
Pretty sure you just need to fastboot flash a custom recovery, then you can flash the superuser binaries by chainsdd (Google the package), then install superuser or superSU from the market.
Not familiar with nexus 7, but this is how I rooted a galaxy nexus. There should be a sticky in your device specific forum with links to the process and files.
From my Evo LTE, yup.
I went to fastboot but when I go into recovery I get an error

Dude,
As the guides tell you, and I lined out above, you need to FASTBOOT FLASH RECOVERY
unless you are already rooted, then downloading ROM Manager or 'recovery manager' from the app store doesnt do any good....
you need a computer to do this in fastboot mode.
Damn I was hoping I could avoid using my friends very slow comp lol

I'm in the similar situation - I upgraded rooted 4.2.1 via modified OTA (original OTA was failing because of one apk) and now I have 4.2.2, but even though I had SuperSU which was ticked to "survival mode" (should keep the root), it apparently didn't. I don't have TWRP anymore, when I press power+vol dn I get the standard "start" screen (original recovery). Also, when I turn N7 on, it is displaying keychain that is OPEN, that means my bootloader is unlocked?
So my question(s)... my bootloader is probably unlocked? If I do the steps:
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
boot into recovery
flash the supersu.zip root package
will I loose all data/apps? I ask because when I first rooted with toolkit, I lost all apps/data.
Also, where to find supersu.zip ? That is different to the installed SuperSU.apk, right?
Damn I can't make ADB work... I tried 2 computers.... Damn google for making this so [email protected]#[email protected]$ .... Constant problems, nothing else. Any clues? I ofcourse, tried kill-server and start-server, no matter what my device is showing offline....
Just checked with my phone (SGNII) and it is working just fine... no clue why Nexus is showing as offline..
Hello i want to root my 4.2.2. Nexus 7. Its latest android OS.
I successfully unlocked, but for root
the USB DEBUGGING thing is not being happend.
As i have to touch to authorize the computer.
Is there another way i could do it.
I am not that good with Androids still i am a bit techy. So a little help would be awesome.
I need to root my nexus to install DroidMote Server so i can use my nexus 4 to operate Nexus 7.
Is that a good idea?
Download superuser or superSU binary in your device, install or boot a custom recovery (CWM, TWRP) using fastboot and then flash the su binary you have downloaded previously with the recovery.
Hi that sounds greatt and easy

Ok thank you. im gonna try it!
OK so I rooted my Vzw g2, verified root access. Installed busybox, superuser is installed, got ROM manager and installed cwm recovery. And when I boot into recovery it just says no command and shows the little android guy. What is the problem? I can't backup or anything

You are at the stock recovery screen. The recovery didn't stick. Never install recovery with ROM Manager. Find TWRP for your device and install it with flashify.
Thanks man. Worked like a charm.

Hi, I booted into TWRP recovery mode to attempt updating my rooted Nexus 7 from 4.2.2 to 4.3. I wiped system, dalvik cache and cache. I also (stupidly) wiped data and internal storage too. Now I cannot turn on my Nexus 7 fully, it only shows the Google insignia with the unlocked boot loader icon below it.
I can boot into recovery mode and I can USB host, I tried copying a zip of the stock 4.2.2 ROM for Nexus 7 wifi onto my flash drive and tried flashing under the "install" section on TWRP but it always fails (I do not know why).
I cannot connect my Nexus 7 to the computer. Can anyone help me out, please?
Use adb side load in advanced settings
adb sideload nameofrom.zip
adb sideload gapps.zip
Reboot
Profit

Either flash a custom ROM from recovery or use the Wugfresh toolkit to flash a stock ROM.

Agreed, the toolkit works like a charm.
I had also deleted the whole Os and fixed it with the help of the toolkit.
Not sure why folks keep telling you to flash a custom rom when you ha e clearly stated that it fails. So, heres my two cents......
Since you already wiped the internal memory and there is no chance of data loss, just download the stock image and fastboot back to a fresh system. And for gods sake, dont use wugs. Just use good ole fastboot. There is a very easy how-to in the stickies of this section. This forum is full of problems arising from toolkits, that could have been easily avoided by fastboot.

I SECOND that use the toolkit from wugfresh for this.
ADB sideload and Fastboot is a real pain with TWRP don't know why the file does not get pushed at all.
Save yourself time and just use the toolkit if it's a Nexus device if Samsung find a similar toolkit tool
The site for toolkit is wugfresh . com ( no urls so the space )
Hope this helps someone
Good luck
