I am very new to android as well as this forum...
Just bought Nexus 7 yesterday ( and yeah its my first android device).
Everyone geeks are telling me to root my device, some intelligent also says don't root it voids your warranty.
So i have few queries as novice user.
Should i root my device?
Is it safe? will my warranty void after root?
can i use add on device like pen drive, mouse via OTG without Rooting?
Can I unroot? if yes, then if I unroot, I get my warranty back?
What are other benifits of root?
Which is easiest meathod of root?
rooting sucks..don't try it
Use wugfreshs toolkit to root. Rooting is great. When you root your device you need to unlock the bootloader . When the boot loader is unlocked, the warranty is void. But its a nexus device so its easy to lock it back up so that your warranty is back so don't worry about that. Yes, you can unroot, its as easy as flashing a stock rom. There are many benefits of rooting, I for one love no ads in Any apps, including games. I use an app called wifikill which allows me to kick any WiFi device at my house offline so that I can use ,more bandwidth than my siblings also, rooting opens up Roms and kernels. I downloaded and flashed trinity kernel. I am getting crazy battery life. Up to 6-10 hrs of ONSCREEN time which is ridiculous . ROOT YOU DEVIIICE!!!!

I couldn't agree more with what he said. Try wugfreshs toolkit, it's very simple and forward.
There's a good youtube tutorial of how to do it on youtube, just search up " How to Root the Google Nexus 7 qbking77"
Good luck !

as people said, don't fix it if it ain't broke. unless you need more storage via stickmount. My is not rooted yet, maybe later.

One issue no one has brought up--some apps block rooted devices.
On the one hand, I've rooted/jailbroken all my previous devices, but I'm getting my N7 partly to watch video via Hulu+ and Time Warner. Neither of those work on my One X. Is that the case with this one? Has anyone found any workarounds? The threads for the signed versions of those two apps seem to have died.

Not enough information. What did you try, with the cable, did you load stickmount. Did you try to use it to mount the drive. what type of "pendrive" etc..

You have the stickmount app installed? USB must be formatted as FAT32....as the easiest solution. I think linux filesystems also work like ext3 but then you can't use the usb on a Windows machine without additional software.
For a while my USB didn't work, then I plugged in a mouse and that worked. Plugged the usb in again and it somehow started working.....weird eh?
silly question, always root. even if you dont need root today, tomorrow you might. and by that time you might have useful data that might get wiped when you do decide to root. anyways, its nice to have complete control over your device, if not for the performance side, then for the maintenance and customization side.
Its MoserBear 16 GB, FAT 32 formatted Pendrive, was trying to connect it via Galaxy S2 OTG and I also installed stickmount, when i click on mount it show there is no active mounts....
Hop[e this much info is good....
Awaiting for any solution.
I rooted my phone and have decided it's not necessary on my N7 (yet). On my phone I just end up with a bunch more apps that get updated more frequently (like Titanium). The only issue I have with the N7 is real small text on some apps (like Amazon App store), will rooting fix this? With a 3rd party launcher you can make the N7 look and feel any way you want. I have 4gb left of 16, so I may root "someday" if I want to put more music on it.

Instead, how many apps require rooted devices? How useful and relevant are those apps compared to the fabled apps that block root (I honestly have never seen any)?

The only one I can think of is Barclays Pingit - though not sure its compatible with N7 anyway.
Agree with previous comments - even if you dont need the benifits from rooting immediately its always best to root it at the start before you set it all up and have to wipe it all. I've learnt this the hard way before.
IMO the benefits of root overweight the downfalls, by far

On the Google Wallet FAQs it says that Google Wallet doesn't support rooted phones...can anyone confirm it does still work or..? Cause that's the main thing holding me back. Sorry if this has already been answered

Hi everyone,
I have recently bought myself a Nexus 7 3g(not opened yet) and i want to know what i need to know about before i root it (using Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit v1.6.2). I know to check the usual thing like making sure everything works. But when i root do i need to know such as know the baseband version/ril version (matching pair)? If there is any issues using this method of rooting with recovery installed?
Or is it as easy as Unlock>Root>(Custom Recovery box checked) and to store back to factory default Flash Stock+Unroot>OEM Lock
I saw this in teh forum "When I drop to the command prompt in TWRP, it says "insufficient space" or something similar, and is trying to backup to the /sdcard/media/TWRP directory instead of to the PC. I have an 8GB model w/ about 6GB in use." Is this still an issue? should i be concerned?
Should i grab a copy of this? 4.2.1 (JOP40D) - md5: e5d22e0791ab2f5d470bba77fbd6771d - size: 277.7MB. Should this be matching to mine?
Many Thanks!!!
***Another question is, how to i tell which one i got? a Nakasig or Tilapia
I wouldn't use a kit to root. Its easy to do manually just follow this thread

Thanks for the above post but will any one be able to answer my other questions? Like the difference between Nakasig and Tilapia? Are they the same? I want to install openrecovery-twrp-2.3.3.0-tilapia.img but what happens if my device is the Nakasig model? I havent opened my device yet since i'm waiting for my screen protector.
I want to root root this device but with limited knowledge i'm worried i might brick it.
Its real easy. Its mostly an automated process. Follow the on screen directions. Make sure u have USB debugging checked on in developer settings. Click on the about>build a bunch of times if your developer tab isn't open. YouTube this if needed. Don't know about the other questions

Ok, so samething. Many thanks guys. I feel a lot better now.
I'm running a totally stock Sprint Galaxy S4. I recently updated my firmware and I'm now unable to connect to Odin or use MTP for file transfer. My phone will mount as a camera. I have used various cables to rule that out. I also went to the Samsung website to get the latest usb drivers. I went so far as to wipe my phone too. Does anyone know how to fix this? I would like to root my phone. I have a stock recovery so I'm limited on what I can flash. I also downloaded official firmware but had signature issues. Please help Lord Vader. I must destroy Jedi Scum.

Do you know if Screen Mirroring works with WiDi devices? I have a stock, unrooted SM-P900 and have not been able to get it to connect to the WiDi device on my TV.
Originally my S4 worked but now even it will not connect. Since I don't use this very often i am unsure of when it quit. Probably linked to one of the updates.

I do a lot of traveling and this is a great solution for watching movies, when it works. My WiDi device is fairly small and connects to the TV with HDMI. Since WiDi is a direct connect between divices and doesn't depend on the local wifi it works much better than Google ChromeCast.
I just wish I could get it to work again with my Samsung devices.

Flashed the stock recovery and miracast is working again. So this means we can't load up TWRP?
That is correct. If we can get support for mobile odin then it might be possible to quick swap between the two on the go. As it is I would reccomend making a backup in twrp then reflashing stock recovery. Then if you need to restore just plug up to odin and flash twrp again. They did mention that whatever it was should be fixable to work with twrp. So if they get a fix it should be easy to port over to ours.

Thx for the fix post. I am going to do it this weekend when i have sometime encase of an unforeseen issues.... But just so i am clear. I am rooted already and when i flash this will anything be lost-such as settings or any of the Xposed modules etc. If so, any suggestions on a backup method...
We had similiar story on Note 10.1 2012 (N80xx).
No AllShare Cast (old name sammy was using for today's Screen Mirroring...) when custom recovery OR KERNEL (there isn't any yet on NP12s but surely - when it arrives - it will fed up all the users of mirroring... kernel OR mirroring...). Well, getting into technical details, coz I think here we'll hava similiar history:
- tablet - to work with Mirroring - had needed a flash counter reset to zero (using Triangle Away - did u try this one out? I borrowed my dongle to a friend so for a while can't test it...). The reason is that sammy's forced the software to require HDCP to every content possible, even my own screen... - and using HDCP was available only with use of Trusted Zone (mysterious tz.bin partition in sammy's devices...). When flash counter was zero, device had an access to tz and all was working. But...
- standard bootloader was very unkind for modders - if detected custom kernel OR custom recovery, it automatically triggered the counter every boot, so there was no way to effectively reset the counter with custom recovery or kernel. There was some ideas of avoiding this limitation like creating shortcuts to scripts that were flashing kernels and recoveries on the fly, etc, but it still required to reset the counter with Triangle Away (which was and still is performed NOT on-the-fly on the stock kernel, but requires flashing chainfire's custom "kernel + something" and rebooting into the custom boot screen with big danger sign and asterisk etc etc - takes time and sounds dangerous...)
- finally someone found out that flashing the oldest bootloader possible (dunno if it wasn't even a ICS one?) is a brilliant fix for this situation - this bootloader didn't have flash counter auto-trigger mechanism when non-stock recovery or kernel. I use it since today in that device - that is why I do worry flashing last-week kitkat leak, which requires new bootloader... anyway...
- ...Note Pros won't have ICS bootloaders, of course, BUT there was another fix floating around for other devices like s3 and note 2 (never been ported to N80xx, tho..) - a modded libWFD.so library in /system/lib to force turning off HDCP once and for all. It started from Android 4.2+, required disassembling the lib and messing with some assembly code at first (!), however, after difficult beginnings, further mods for different systems and roms were possible more easily, by editing similiar hex patterns in similiar way in the library binary content (and it was not extremely tiring as it required ediiting only three bytes IN TOTAL!).
Hope the last solution will be brought to our devices in the nearest future as it solves the problem in an ultimate way (eh... at least until there comes an update with major changes, causing lib not to work...).
This was a pain, until someone figured out that

Sadly our device does not have the wfdengine.lib. None of the kitkat devices appear to. I do know from reading on the 2014 Forum that hdcp was the Culprit. Hopefully work can be done to twrp to allow its use without breaking this feature

Please advise, I will have to convert the recovery.img file to a recovery.tar.md5 file in order to flash using odin, correct?
I am about to buy a Miracast receiver (probably a Netgear PTV3000) but both my Note II and Note Pro 12.2 are rooted.
I run stock Touchwiz ROMs with stock recoveries, so will Miracast work?
This thread has confused me a bit because I thought that even though you have root, as long as you are running a stock ROM and the stock recovery you would be able to use Miracast.
BTW I have seen mentioned elsewhere that with Samsung Allshare Cast you ALSO have to have "Flash Binary" at zero (which at the moment I have on the Note II thanks to Triangle Away but I haven't on the Note Pro since AFAIK I can't run Triangle Away on it nor I will be able to use Triangle Away on my Note II once I update it to 4.3 or KitKat) and that's why I am going with the Netgear or with the Asus dongle.
Anybody can shed some (definitive) light on these issues..? TNX

I have written it two posts above.
As far as I can see at the moment, TA works fine with Note Pro 12.2 (at least on a Qualcomm one...).
EDIT:
Here's libwfds.so for Note Pro 12.2 LTE P905, modified by me (based on XXUANC3 stock firmware, can't guarantee it will work on any other firmware than this one..), it seems to work with custom recovery (repacked, not-yet-fully-working TWRP).
Just put it in /system/vendor/lib and replace previous one (also, make sure permissions are 644, root:root).
http://www28.zippyshare.com/v/17510448/file.html
IT WILL PROBABLY NOT WORK ON EXYNOS DEVICES (P900 etc).

I can confirm that this in fact DOES work...not only only that but it SHOULD be good to go for ANY device with a snapdragon 800 running 4.4.2. I'm actually using it on the LTE variant of the tab pro 8.4 and everything is ok...i tested it for a full 2 hours the other night with TWRP installed & didnt have any problems besides an occassional hiccup when trying to connect. For anybody reading this...i'm not sure if the order is important but i replaced the above file BEFORE i flashed the custom recovery although that shouldnt matter. Also...u MAY need to wipe both caches after u install

Nice to know
Btw I replaced it after flashing TWRP, so it should work both ways.
Feel free to post it in the other devices' forums if you find it helpful.

Really thanks for being so helpful man, but there lies the problem, I can't get a Miracast setup and be at the constant risk that an update breaks it..
Have an S5 with no screen. I know the phone works, had a friend lend me their screen so I could show someone else it worked to sell (which didnt happen cause its locked to ATT). I havent enabled USB Debugging on it nor rooted it, though i know my way around Odin and dont need a screen for all that.
ANYWAY...are there any kernels based on stock TW that have USB Debugging enabled by default? Phones pretty powerful enough to be able to sideload and run BBQ Screen and use the device with some minor latency but i dont mind. Just wanna use my $250 shelf ornament til i can afford/find a screen

There are custom roms that have this, need root and whatnot though so I think you're SOL, no custom kernels or anything exist for the g900a

i dont suppose any of these roms would be flashable with ODIN would they, seeing as i couldnt use TWRP or CM?

rawr...
so i found a way to enable usb debugging using recovery, pulling and editing a file, replacing it and then supposedly can allow my pc to connect to adb on the device using adb keys...but its all hypothetical. whats worse is even if i do get it working by some miracle, id still have to figure a way to register the device to my Mobizen account...and then figure out how to even start the app from the phone and...ugh...
someone on stackexchange said they were able to do so with a galaxy s3 that had a busted touch, but my S5 has NO screen at all. worth a shot you think? or should i just figure out a way to make $100 quick...or worse, beg someone with a waterlogged device to let me have their screen?
heres a link to the method/madness to get their usb debugging active

Needs root so I think you're out of luck there as well

root and custom recovery arent an issue with odin. i may actually have found a friendly person on a FB group im in who is willing to consider trading the screen off her broken S5 to me so heres hoping!

They are an issue with an att s5, you can flash either of those with odin. If you can get a screen you should be good but otherwise unless you were already rooted I don't know of any way.

Can only root with towelroot, can't flash any custom recoveries like twrp or cwm, can only flash touchwiz based roms through flashfire or safestrap.

after my experiences using CM and AOSP, i really dont mind using stock TW after rooting, removing all the junk like launcher and carrier stuff. im pretty fluent in modifying the interactive gov for balancing performance and battery life. this things pretty beast anyway, so i dont anticipate much issue with gaming and stuff.
just for reference, towelroot DOES work with the latest update correct? and MM will be pushed at some point?
