How do I manually reroot nexus 7??

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
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
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

thats stock recovery.....did you ever FLASH a custom recovery, like all the guides tell you to?

I tried downloading clockworkmod recovery from ROM manager but the download failed so I downloaded recovery manager from the play store and downloaded a recovery using the app it said the recovery installed

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..

Flashed kit kat rom, no recovery.

I flashed a kit kat ROM earlier to play around on, and when I was rebooting I accidentally hit the wrong button in cwm to not reflash recovery. Now I don't have recovery anymore, and I don't have access to a computer so I can flash the PA version of Kit Kat. ROM manager will not flash recovery for me. Is there anything I can do to get recovery without a computer?

you can flash the twrp recovery via the goo manager app.

Do you think flashing recovery through adb would work getting recovery?
Sent from my AOSP on Mako using xda app-developers app

well, if you have access to a computer use fastboot. you can probably flash via adb as well.

I wont have access to a computer for a few hours but I'm thinking that's my best bet, as I don't have root

you don't need root to fastboot either, you just need to boot into the bootloader. of course, and have the drivers installed in the computer. same for adb.

From the looks of it, my computer wont recognize fastboot commands in either OSX or Windows. I've installed the necessary files on both OS's and still nothing.

Well I was able to "flash" it, but it didn't actually flash. Still the dead android with the red triangle.
EDIT: I can get to the menu by pressing power+volume up. is there anything I can do there to help?

Did you try flashing a recovery from Recovery Tools aplication?
You will find it in Play store.

I was in the same situation you were.
Do these things:
1. Install the drivers for ur N4.i used Wug's toolkit ONLY TO INSTALL THE DRIVERS.
2. Next set up your fastboot.
3. Download the the latest CWM recovery (i think it was 6.0.4.3 touch).
4. "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
5. Voila! U got your recovery back.
6. (optional) Download the SuperSU 1.65 version and flash it via recovery.
Hit the thanks if i helped!

I've tried that. When after I flash in fastboot and hit start in the bootloader, it starts into android and not into recovery. Should I click recovery instead of start?

Well one would assume clicking on recovery would send the phone into recovery, instead of start. PS. When you see the Android with red icon, you are looking at the stock recovery itself, so no, you do have (stock) recovery on your phone.

I tried that, and it worked. However, the only thing I can flash is my backup. Attempting to flash a different rom, like the 4.4 PA doesn't flash it, just leaves that same 4.4 rom.

[Q] Updating Recovery

Hi guys.
I want to update my recovery and currently have the CWM Touch recovery installed. I wanted to flash the Official TWRP recovery and was wondering if I have to revert back to the stock recovery and then install TWRP or do I just download goomanager on my phone and install TWRP from there ON TOP of the CWM I have?
Thanks

Yeah do the goomanger thing

You can download the latest TWRP img file and use fastboot to flash.

You could always use flashify. Use it to download the TWRP .zip. Extract the .img file into the phone, then use flashify to flash that .img file you extracted. Reboot into recovery to see if it stuck.

Assuming that your phone is rooted and working properly except for the bootloop
issue you are having when trying to get into recovery, do the following...
Go to the playstore and download "goomanager" a free app
and click the menu softkey on left side of phone then select
"flash open recovery script".
Then wait til it gets done and when it's done just reboot the phone.
That's the easiest way to solve your bootloop issue.
Another good free app you can use is "TWRP Coordinator" which
you can download from the playstore too, after installing this app
simply select the option to flash twrp recovery then after it gets
done simply reboot the phone.
Good luck!
