if you really don't understand or don't know how to follow the root instructions i would advise you not to root and just stay stock because you could really mess something up if you don't know what your doing

none of the toolkits should be paid. a donation is something that you choose to give. if you have to pay to use a root toolkit, its not a donation.

And thus would be breaking XDA rules.
Why do people seem to think learning 3 commands is hard?

I just bought a Nexus 7 today and as soon as I setup the wifi it's prompting me to update to Android 4.11, it has 4.1 on it at the moment. I want to root the tablet but having use the Android Gingerbread in the past it is a PITA to wait for new root after we updated OTA on our smartphone. Should i avoid any OTA update for the N7?

Is there a new way to unlock 4.1.1? I'm new to rooting and stuff and I don't want to take any chances so I wanna be 100% sure.

It's a nexus. The answer to that is ALWAYS yes.

There's never a new way, it's always the same way. No update will "break" this.
fastboot oem unlock to unlock (this only have to be done once, it will remain unlocked unless you manually re-lock it)
fastboot flash recovery your.recovery.image (to flash a custom recovery)
Boot into recovery and apply the su zip of your choice if you merely want to root or if you want to flash a rom the rom of your choice (assuming these already reside on internal storage).

If you don't mind, I'd rather actually root my nexus s instead of my brand new bought nexus 7... I'm assuming it's almost the same guide to root both; just a different file; do you know of a guideline to root the nexus s on 4.1.1?

It is okay to use. BUT...it is always best to learn how to use adb. You know, just in case something ever goes wrong.
It is not like Apple's device, you will always be able to root and all, you dont have to be scared

I really like Wug's toolkit, I know there's a few so I'm not positive if the one you're referring too is wugs or another one, but I reccomend using wugs, and following its step by step on setting up drivers properly.

Just got my Nexus 7 and rooted it with the Mac Toolkit. I went into recovery, flashed liquidsmooth and now the device is stuck on the liquidsmooth animation screen. Please help, thanks
Try to flash the stock firmware back on there -- doesn't sound like a true brick maybe just a bootloop.

I was freaking out because I couldn't do anything. Miraculously, when I clicked lock bootloader in the Mac toolkit that did something that now makes it go through.
To be honest with you now though, all I want to do is go back to factory settings the way I got it. I've been freaked out enough. It was a lot easier doing this on my i9250. How do I unroot and get back to the way it was when I took it out of the box?
wipe data then reflash the rom. if it doesnt work, redownload the rom and reflash.

The directions for all platforms are essentially the same, IMHO the process tends to be more involved on Windows becuase of drivers, etc. Here's a link to the platform tools for mac - extract them to a useful place where you can get at them from terminal.
Once you've extracted the platform tools follow the instructions in this guide skipping the bits about Windows drivers... the important thing is that you understand the process; executing the process takes less than two minutes.
If you learn anything else from this experience it should be exactly what Pirateghost said:

Hi All,
Just Flashed wrong stock recovery (I Know so stupid) and was wondering if im screwed or might be able to fix it?
What do you mean by wrong stock recovery? Like one meant for a different device?
Can you still get into the bootloader?

No problem. Doing it manually is always the way to go. As you can see, you dont really know whats happening when you use a toolkit. Plus you ended up learning a bit :good:

I have a mac also, you just need to use bootcamp or any virtualisation software to run windows and you're good to go (it worked for me with bootcamp).

I'm not an Apple fan either. Just sick of Windows problems.
Do not buy from this site. It is a ripoff. They advertise a product they don't give you and advertise 24/7 support...WHAT A JOKE...they ignore you. I had to contact my credit card company and have the charge reversed.
I am having the same problem; I am reporting them as fraudulent.
