Hi to all,
I moving over from the Atrix 4G to the N4.
Whilst waiting for the phone to arrive I'm getting my PC ready for Bootloader Unlocking and rooting.
Since I already have the ADB and fastboot stuff installed on my computer which I used for the Atrix do i need to install again for the N4 ?
Thanks.

Just make sure the SDK is updated. Don't forget to install the drivers for the phone.

Try to use sudo.
I successed.
Why wouldn't you be able to? I unlocked my 2.3.7 phone using fastboot oem unlock.

Some linux distros are shipping udev rules that will allow adb to work properly without sudo, but not fastboot.

There are lots of video tutorials on YouTube. I found this one particularly easy to use:

adb is available on OS X, try that way

I rooted my N7 from my mac. As the post above states, ensure you have adb for mac (I installed the android SDK to get it) and the rest is as per the rooting tutorials.
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.

Dear all
I just have a big problem that I still cannot solve by myselft and all the things I searched on Internet
I downloaded the Android 4.3 stock rom from Google dev site. Then, I tried to install it by Google Nexus Toolkit 1.6.4 but it was not successful
( Perhaps the universal driver is not fully compatible with Windows 8, I often have this problem on Windows 8 )
Then I changed to use Google Nexus 7 Toolkit v5.0.0 and flash the stock ROM
This tool could do a little bit further. It extracted, deleted user data, send file to machine but after that, it flashed unsuccessfully
The screen is still in bootloader mode. So I decided to press Start to check whether the ROM had been installed successfully or not
And it said boot failed
I turned off the device and then couldn't turn it on till now. I plugged into laptop and it said lacking of APX driver.
I searched and know that this is a mode only for NVIDIA processor devices
I tried so many ways on Internet to turn it on, but still cannot
So can you help me wake it up ?
Thank you so much
Sorry for bad English

Not completely sure, but I have seen this before, I think you got the bootloader corrupted somehow.

As per now... you are stuck in APX mode. No solution for that in the Nexus 7 device. Asus cover that in warranty, you´ll have to go that way... It happened the same to me.

Hey, the same with me, after trying to update to android 4.3 with nexus root tool kit 1.64.
In this case the bootloader was deleted. Waiting for the feedback of asus....
Based upon this evidence I suggest you don't use a tool kit to flash 4.3 and do it manually

I'm not an expert but I would say there is no way for them to know at this point. So yes, you are covered. They need to completely wipe the device to get it back to life. This is something that happened to people updating OTAs as well, so it's not an uncommon issue.

Hi,
How your Nexus been? I've just received the Nexus 7 with new mainboard replaced and... no fees. So happy!!!
Now it's time to sell it, get the new nexus 7, and expect it not to be that easy to brick. XD

But I have been waiting for whole week
Actually, I don't have dual monitor system so I often use my tablet as ebook reader to read instruction while coding
Tried to update Nexus 7 4.2.2 rooted with Nexus Toolkit too..but got stuck at a APX mode Nexus 7.
Nothing could revive it, so had to send to Asus for warranty claim
They changed a new motherboard and all is well now.....with 4.3..but wifi reception still sucks
Hi there!
So I just OTA upgraded my Nexus 7 to 4.3 and I was thinking of rooting it.I know there are guides and stuff about doing it but its for the older versions.Can anyone comprehensively tell me how to root my device (JWR66V).
Thank you

This worked flawlessly for me. The only thing I'd add is that you have to turn the device off before rebooting into fastboot mode.
