I've tried this and no luck followed instructions to the tee is there a step I'm missing. .. When I go to odin n go thru all the steps when it starts it fails at but mapping...... am I doing something wrong? N yes I'm a noob please help me

I don't have anything without being there. I used this by DL the entire root zip chain fire has prepared. I extracted the "guts" and then used PC Odin to Odin in root/supersu...then after reboot I DL ROM manager and used it to one click in CWM.
You could also Google QBKing77 and tag root s4 behind it and his video is on there its perfect

Ok so finally got root but qbking77 method didn't work I had to use kingo... now I just need a rom I'm trying to get my wifi hotspot to be able to work any recommendations?

All are pretty sweet....the TW are all real nice and the AOSP side seems to be transitioning to 4.4 from 4.3 so they are "growing"
Depends on what you're preference is.
They kind of frown on "What ROM do you prefer?" threads

Sounds like you need to do some reading. Looks like you were not very prepared. Read the roms,kernel, and root guide that is stickied.

Or you could learn about what you are doing BEFORE you do it.

No reason to never try again, you have just learned a valuable lesson in reading before doing something your unsure about

Dont forget to wipe data,cache partition,and dalvik cache through cwm. And you're ready to flash with 2.3.4 stock rom.

Go take a look in the Nexus 7 section. The first thing I did was unlock and root it. Keep in mind that unlocking it will wipe your data, so I would do that first.

All of the things. Assuming you already have root you should dl the standard stuff - Titanium Backup/Pro, ES File Explorer, XDA Pro , Voodoo OTA, Rom Toolbox, SuperSU (that's just what I prefer instead of just superuser), Terminal Emulator, and the like. Other than that it's all you. Whatever puts wind in your sails.

I just got a 32GB Nexus 7 also trying to decide what ROM to install lol. I love Scott's roms on my Infinity so I will try his first on this.
Running a stock rooted 16gb and using ROM toolbox Pro for Backup, ad blocker, launches nandroid backups, and more. SuperSu Pro for root. SwiftKey Tablet is amazing. Tablet talk is also really handy.
Nova Launcher and HD Widgets look very slick.
Don't forget about stick mount, I picked up a Samsung otg on Amazon. Speaker Boost also helps my earphones while watching movies on the plane.

I know it's kind of a cardinal sin on XDA but I am still running rooted stock 4.1.2 on my N7 also. I've tried a few custom ROMs but I always end up going back to stock bc it seems like it runs smoother.

Yeah, I've been thinking about trying a rom solely for tablet mode, but it works really well the way it is on stock

[Q] Help please :)

Bootloader unlocked...running 4.1.2....but I lost root access. Please help!!
Also, can anyone please suggest a ROM as well...I've been reading on here about Pac, Carbon, CM....this will be my first time installing a ROM so any and all suggestions/assistance is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
It is pretty unusual to lose root access suddenly. Just to be sure. Go on or play store and get root checker to see if u have or haven't got root access.

See my post above yours. If your BL is unlocked, all you need to do is flash SU in recovery.

Bricking when rooting is rare as long as you use the right files. And Samsung devices are pretty easy to unbrick you just flash stock back to the devices.

First link seemed irreverent. The second makes it look simple. I'll try to gather the correct file and go from there. ODIN is the stock file from Samsung?
