Quick and easy Rooting a device 4.2.2 - Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I found this thread
[NEXUS 10 TOOLKIT V1.3.0]
I guess, can the version from November 2012 be used for 4.2.2 Android?
As far as I see you only need to install the application, connect it to PC and go through steps as described and it will get rooted.
Can the old version (November) just root the device or you need to change any files in the app from later messages to work it properly with 4.2.2?
And maybe there's another way to quickly root the device?
All I need is a modified Google market, that is all. It needs rooting.
So, how most easily can you root 4.2.2 Nexus 10?

Just download WugFresh's Root Toolkithttp://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/. Its up to date and receives patches frequently.

This is a kinda new method, will allow you to root a r800i/a without the need of unlocking bootloader. I haven't done it but there seems to be a lot of people getting it done right and loving it.

No app available to root your phone yet (the only hole so far is in ADB) but DoomLoRD just got up a script for rooting your phone in windows with one click (well, double clicking the file)
Can confirm Doomlords one-click works just rooted 2.3.4, no problems so far, easy to use just do what it tells you.

[Q] Nexus 7 from Google Play Store & Rooting

In Australia, most carriers will refuse to honour warranty if the device is rooted, but some third-party distributors and grey-importers will provide warranty in this scenario.
I know it is often possible to simply re-load the original RUU and hence unroot the device, but still some manufacturers can (?) detect this and will not honour warranty.
I've pre-ordered my Nexus 7 tablet from the Play Store and am thinking of rooting. I have never purchased any physical products from the Play Store. Does anyone know what's the go if I root and need any sort of warranty?
I've heard stories of manufacturer honouring warranties for rooted devices. But it's always best not to risk it and flash original firmware.
As to whether or not there'll be a way to detect if anything's been done to it, I don't think anyone can answer that (yet).
They look for SU and busybox just make sure those are deleted after unrooting
Download Google's N7 image & run the install script. Now you are back to stock
Hey Guys
I'm new to the whole rooting thing, I just have a few questions if anyone could help me out I would be grateful.
So when i get my new Nexus 7 i would like to root to enable the USB OTG as mentioned in another thread, this would allow me to transfer files between my flash drive and tablet so long as i use 'StickMount'
But i was wondering is it easy to root? I know someone on here said they are working on a One Click Root (for idiots like me haha)
Also once rooted do i need to install any specific apps to make the root work and do i have to flash ROM's or can i keep the standard JB that comes with it?
Finally despite rooting will the Nexus 7 still update when google sends updates or do i need to unroot?
PS - Will google play movies work if my tablet is rooted? if not does that mean unrooting and re-rooting constantly?
Help is much appreciated

Yes, you can play movies from Google Play if rooted, this has already been answered & you can use an app called Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper to reroot & unroot if necessary.
Best way to root is to do it via command line. You'll learn so much more than using a one click app. All you have to do is be prepared as in the reading directions a few times & follow the exact steps.
It may be important to emphasize - you can root anytime, but unlock the bootloader early.
That process wipes the contents of your device.
RMXO feel free to correct me...
Ok thanks guys so much I truly appreciate the help and info....so to get this right... I unlock bootloader first which I assume there will be a guide to...and then proceed to rooting then with the use of the app I can unroot and re root so that I can keep up to date with the OTA updates from google...
Also...Is rooting useful for anything else...only reason I am doing it for is USB OTG

To date, I have not seen any reason to un-root (is that a word?) your device other than returning it to Google.
I would expect OTA updates to work on a rooted device unless I hear otherwise.
I want mine rooted for backups, file manager, and terminal. Root makes it very much like a small Linux box. The commands and prompts are very Linux-ish. Well it runs busybox, which is a package of basic Linux commands.

Rooting in Australia
I currently live in Australia and I rooted my US 3G Xoom and my sim free Galaxy Nexus. After I root both with EOS builds I was unable to gets books or Movies from the play store. I restored my Nexus back to stock and I am now able to see the books and movies in play.
So how are we so sure a rooted Nexus 7 will allow full access to the play store?
just use the temp root app, i used it on my kindle to use amazon instant video as u couldnt watch it with being rooted. Not sure if this app will work but it did on a kindle fire.

But anyway im just wondering witch is the best method to root the n7? It has 4.1.1 on it and keeps asking me to update and just wanna make sure there's a way to root with the new software b4 I update? Like I said I know very lil bout rooting tablets but im sure its not to dif from a phone n sorry for the noob?s and thanks for the help
You can use the nexus 7 toolkit v 3.2.0. It helps you install all the drivers needed. Just use the option number 8 for full rooting and unlock. WARNING Unlocking the bootloader might void your warranty and will wipe all your data. I think this utility is better because it has an easy interface and clear instructions.

its the same thing as rooting phones, just follow the steps here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766475
its as easy as pressing a button that says unlock and root
Thanks for the replys n does it work for the newer software or should I stay on 4.1.1 to root
It will work with any version. I'd upgrade to 4.1.2 then unlock, root, and flash a rooted 4.2 custom ROM.
The toolkit helps for first timers. Pretty simple process.
Make a backup of all your stuff cause everything will be deleted during the process. I recommend DataSync. It backs up data to Dropbox or Box.net. Does a bunch of other cool stuff.
Getting drivers installed is the big part. After that it just clicks.
I'm using Paranoid Android beta6 cause its 4.2.1 with tablet mode.

[Q] Lost root after repair

I had to have my screen repaired last week and they seem to flash new software as standard when returning the phone. Anyway I have lost root access so I can't restore my titanium backup and I can't find a way to root 4.4 apart from this one link on Youtube which is very difficult to understand what the guy is saying and he doesn't post links to help clarify (I'm not allowed to post links as a noob but the video is called How to root nexus 4 running android 4.4 KitKat)]
Are there any suggestion on how I can get my root access back?
Did you unlock the bootloader?

Check out Wug's Toolkit here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766475
This is probably the easiest most noob friendly way, and there is lots of information provided as well in his FAQs.

Thanks it worked like a charm!
Okay I rooted my tablet, but how can I flash .zip files so I can install playstation mobile? I did install the CW mod when I clicked the root button. Do I just go to the boot loader and select recovery?
Yes you will boot into recovery to flash mods or new ROMs. Make a full backup first before you flash anything.
Yes it works :good:
Maybe you should add "resolved" to this topic
But if something was wrong, tell us.
