Where's the guides? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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
thank you

Does "any HTC device" include the Incredible 4G? We are having a lot of trouble with that one... Could use some help.

As long as the exploit has not been patched by HTC then it will work otherwise you need to dev-unlock and flash insecure boot.img then run HTC Quick Root.

The Incredible 4G is locked up tight. We can't get root via any exploit, and dev unlock was only available for a short time after release, then was removed. Nobody can get s-off, either. I bought mine thinking dev unlock still worked, then found out that it was revoked the very next day. Needless to say we need help rooting.
Thanks for the effort, though. If you have any ideas on the Incredible 4G, please share on the threads over there. We really need help.

I share your pain Captain. Stuck with the Inc4G myself with no s-off. Got it locked down tight, really missing my shift right about now
Doesn't work for the latest OTA of Evo Shift 4G. =/
There is a chance I might have done something wrong, but I have continuously tried different ways so I highly doubt it.

New to Nexus 7 and ?'s

So I've had my N7 for 30 minutes. So could someone please direct me to a rooting procedure and suggest a ROM.

Good, I would recommend keep diving through post for your better knowledge and understanding. Happy learning

There isn't too much out for 4.2 but 4.1.2 has plenty of options. The easiest way to root would be a toolkit. You don't learn much but if you don't care that's fine. Otherwise keep reading.

I'm pretty savoy rooting and installing ROMs on my Samsung skyrocket S2. So I didn't know if there's a better way w/N7. It has already updated to 4.2.
Sent from my SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2
There aren't many ROMs supporting 4.2. I think there is one that is stock deodexed. 4.1.2 has plenty of options. You may like 4.2 though so try it for a bit. Wug has a good toolkit. One click rooting. Easy

Hello,
You should try the 4.2 roms in the development area. There are stock ones with root enabled by default. I'm using scrosler's one for 3 days now and it's working ok. Better than the OTA anyway.
You do need to flash clockworkmod first to be able to flash roms.

Thanks for the suggestions.

[Q] New to Nexus 7

up front sorry for all the noob questions....
I bought the nexus 7 from a co-worker, it was already rooted and loaded with CM 10.1.
I hear android images for 4.3 hit today, I don't want to loose root so what do I need to do?
About how long does it take CM to have 4.3 available?
Nobody knows. When source is released then the cm team will evaluate and attempt to merge the code.
Just wait patiently or learn how the entire system works and do it yourself.

You read everything you can. You obviously do not need to be trying to flash anything at this point or you will be back here asking how to recover your device. You need to spend at least a few days reading. As far as root goes, there is no method to root yet... It just came out.

Got any links on where to start?
The stickies in the general section and the QA section would be great places to start.

Will that's not quite true, I am on 4.3 and have root back with the new super user...
BUT, Russell, I agree with graydiggy. Read read read... There are stickies and info threads that tell how to root, unlock, flash.... Know how to do this before you go playing with new versions and CM night lies... and tempting as it may be, know enough beyond a "toolkit" to root, unlock etc... WUGFRESH has a nice tool but knowing is more than half the battle in this case... Enjoy CM 10.1 until you know enough, and they have 4.3 base... With some work, they will be about the same time...

Certainly seems that way.
XDA is here to help right ?
We all need to help are selves by reading/searching before posting extra threads about the most simple tasks in the "General Section"
