Is there any way to root the kitkat without recovery and without plugging in the nexus pc?
A friend of mine got stuck in a rom without root and without recovery and without the ability to plug it into pc.
Thanks

Z for root and the other root apps don't work on the nexus and its a catch 22 situation as in to root without a p.c you would need a custom recovery which again you would need root to do without a p.c. .
Could he not pop into a internet cafe or library and do it quickly with a toolkit available on here.

In fact, the nexus connects him not more in any pc, have tried everything, even opened a thread here, the staff gave many tips, but none of them worked.
Now he's stuck in a rom with no connection to any pc without root and without recovery.

i think it's not possible ........
Are you saying the drivers are not working and he cannot connect to a p.c . If so that could probably be fixed quite easily.

Really tried everything to solve the problem of drivers and nothing worked, see this thread which i create in December:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2555431
Nothing worked. Very strange his problem
I would definitely try another USB lead as that's most likely the problem also try the USB ports on the rear onlf you're p.c as sometimes that can help. Apart from that it looks like you have tried everything I would suggest.
Good luck.

Yeah ofcourse I am using this setup since mid august so that isnt the problem. I restored my backup of the stock rom and it works fine there, but I am on CM10.2 again because I know it isnt a problem that cant be solved. Or would a clean flash absolutely be necessary?

so, after flashing a custom rom it doesnt connect? do you have google hangouts installed? if you flash a custom rom again, and it doesnt connect, try opening hangouts.

if hangouts connects fine, then your google services are connecting. ive seen graphical errors before, where the bars dont turn blue but its still connecting to google(a reboot always fixed it for me). but google used to connect being able to connect with goigle talk, i dont know if they do the same with hangouts now.

Out of curiosity, why root? Not much of a need on the Nexus 7. Enjoy your new tablet and don't stress over the little stuff, amigo!
Also, not sure, but I think the toolkit supports the LTE variant. I may be wrong though.

If you're going to root, it's better to do it as soon as you get your device. Root requires unlocking your bootloader and thus wipes your device.

Interesting. There is no root guide for deb (the LTE version of N7 2013). I see the root guide for flo, which bizarrely recommends using autoroot instead of just installing the superuser binaries (why? @philos64 ). I'm tempted to write one for deb myself, despite not having deb on hand (which is generally bad form).
If you want me to write a root guide for deb, thank this post and I'll write it. Alternately, a user with deb on hand and a good understanding of the two required fastboot commands and TWRP could do it.

Spoiler alert. Rooting deb is the same as flo, but I'm itching to create a root guide that doesn't create unnecessary steps or involve a root kit. So yes, I'll do it.

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

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"

I wiped everything in TWRP, Now all I can do is go to the LG screen start screen and back into TWRP.
I have a D803, is my best method of recovery to do this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
Were you just trying to factory reset? You might have wiped system as well. If so, you would need to flash another ROM. But if you literally wiped everything, then that means you wiped internal storage, too. Which means you will not have anything to flash in twrp. Therefore, yes, you will have to use the flash tool in that link, and flash the stock image

Awesome, Thanks. I knew I was doing something wrong, when I wiped it. But I guess I get to learn a little more, the hard way.
If you haven't ran lg stock tool yet you can sideload a ROM using adb. Hold on and let me find the link. That way you don't lose root or twrp

No, thank you for the follow up though.
It just happened that when I did this I was one day into a 7 day shift at work(a mining camp) and for some reason the LG Mobile Upgrade Tool won't install on my computer, which I think is because of the networks here.
So I am really hoping that it will install when I get home, It installs to 10% then stops and the only info I can find on the problem is to try deleting all other LG apps first and changing Firewall/proxy settings, which I cannot change here.
If you have any other ideas that would be appreciated. I asked LG on their website for any help with the app install.

Thanks, I never saw this post, I am a real beginner at all of this, can I really just sideload a ROM, because the other method is the kdz file. I only question this, because one file is 211MB and the other is 1.8GB am I missing something else? Also if sideloading does not work, can I still try the flash method after? Im not worried about losing root or twrp, as they are very easy to reinstall.
Hey Guys,
It took me a little while, but it worked perfectly. Thank you for your help.
