Quick question on the guides to root the N7

I just got an N7 32GB tablet, very nice. I plan on rooting this device. Mine still on 4.2.1. What guide you guys recommend, both seem good so I'm undecided.
Thanks

Do you know how to use adb/fastboot ? if you know you can use that to easily root the N7.
Here's the link on how to use adb/fastboot to unlock and root the Nexus 7.
If not, then use this toolkit by following the link below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766475
Download the program and install it.
After that, watch this tutorial first once and then start rooting with the toolkit.
http://www.youtube.com/results?sear...0.219.737.0j3j1.4.0...0.0...1ac.1.NbcxhPx0ZLs
IMPORTANT NOTE: You must unlock your Nexus 7's bootloader in order to proceed with the rooting process. As a result, everything in your tablet will be erased. So backup what you can and put it back later.

I would recommend using adb fast boot method, it is very simple if you follows it correctly, I will give you full instructions on how to unlock boot loader and root
ALL DATA WILL BE LOST , BACKUP EVERYTHING
I RECOMMEND USING TWRP CUSTOM RECOVERY
Getting started
In order to root Android 4.2 the following three requirements must be satisfied beforehand:
The Android SDK, which you can download from Google Developers
A custom recovery like ClockworkMod (CWM) or Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP)
SuperSU, which you can download from CF-Root
There are no major differences between the two, but TWRP is more touch-oriented thanks to larger buttons. CWM is also available in a touch-compatible variant, but it has much smaller buttons. It's a matter of personal preference between the two though, but you have to choose one.
Before starting the process I urge you to perform a backup, as all data might be lost afterwards. You can copy the contents of the SD card to a safe external location such as cloud storage service or computer hard drive.
Setting the Stage
The first step that needs to be performed after all the files are downloaded is to install the Android SDK. Afterwards open the Android SDK Manager and select the following two items:
Android SDK Platform-tools -- it contains the required programs to install Android 4.2 Jelly Bean
Google USB Driver -- it contains the necessary drivers for the Nexus device
Then you should create a folder in an easily accessible location within the command line. In this example I will use a folder named "Root" in my C:\ drive in Windows. The path name will therefore be: "C:\Root".
From the folder where Android SDK Platform-tools is installed (in my case it is "C:\Program Files x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools") copy the following files to the previously created "Root" folder:
adb.exe
AdbWinApi.dll
AdbWinUsbApi.dll
fastboot.exe
The following files must also be copied to the "Root" folder:
CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip -- SuperSU file
The custom recovery that you previously downloaded for your specific device (please see below)
For my 8 GB nexus 7 wifi(codename "grouper") I will use TWRP with the name "openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.0-grouper.img".
You can easily find the codename for your devoice by looking into Google
The custom recovery file differs for each device, please make sure you download the correct file
In order to make the process smoother for instance the SuperSU file can be renamed to "root.zip" and the custom recovery to "customrecovery.zip". It's a matter of convenience, but for accuracy I will stick to the original naming for this guide.
If the previous steps are completed you must have the following six files in your "Root" folder:
adb.exe
AdbWinApi.dll
AdbWinUsbApi.dll
fastboot.exe
CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip -- SuperSU file
The custom recovery. In my case it is "openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.0-grouper.img"
From there, you can proceed to install the drivers for "fastboot mode". To install them, follow these steps:
Power off your Nexus device.
Press and hold Volume Up and Volume Down then press and hold the Power button; the device will now enter "fastboot mode".
Go to Device Manager (Computer -> Properties -> Device Manager in Windows 7/8) and identify the device; for me it shows up as Android 1.0.
Right click Android 1.0 and select "Update Driver Software," then select "Browse my computer for driver software".
Select "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer," then click "Next".
From "Have Disk..." option go to the folder where you have Google USB Driver installed (for me it's "C:\Program Files .(x86)\Android\android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver") and select "android_winusb.inf".
Out of the three options select "Android ADB Interface" and validate any future warning window to install the driver.
Final preparations
Everything is prepared in order to start the installation process, but in order to do so a command window must be opened. Windows Key + R opens "Run"; type in "cmd" and the command window appears. Typing "cd C:\Root" and pressing Enter sets the "Root" folder as the working directory. Pressing the Shift key and right clicking inside the "Root" folder will also deliver the same result.
The device must be turned on in "fastboot mode" which I have explained at step no.2 during the driver installation process, and obviously plugged-in to the computer. You then have to type in the following commands while in "fastboot mode":
fastboot devices -- this is just for verification purposes; if there is no listed device then the drivers have been improperly installed and steps 1 through 7 must be redone.
fastboot oem unlock -> you have to accept the prompt in order to continue -- this command will unlock the bootloader, but it will also erase the data on the device which is why a backup is necessary.
fastboot reboot-bootloader -- this will reboot the bootloader.
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.0-grouper.img -- this will flash the custom recovery --please use the specific file and name for your particular Nexus device!
fastboot erase cache -- this will erase the cache -- might not be necessary but it's just as a precaution.
fastboot reboot -- this will reboot the device.
After Android 4.2 is loaded and running the SuperSU file must be copied from the "Root" folder to the internal storage (shows up in Windows Explorer as a Nexus device). A simple copy and paste will do the trick here.
Then you have to power off the Nexus device and enter "fastboot mode" again. Use the Volume Up and Volume Down keys to navigate until you can select "Recovery Mode". After the power button is pressed the device will reboot in the new custom recovery.
Rooting your Nexus device
If you have ClockworkMod installed, you have to perform the following steps:
Select "install zip from sdcard"
Select "choose zip from sdcard"
Select "0" (zero) folder
Select "CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip"
Select "Yes - Install CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip"
Select "Go Back"
Select "reboot system now"
If you have Team Win Recovery Project installed, you have to perform the following steps:
Press "Install".\
Select "CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip" -- for me it's in the "0" (zero) folder
Swipe to confirm flash
Press "Wipe cache/dalvik" (just as a precaution)
Swipe to wipe
Press "Reboot System"
After Android 4.2 loads your device can run apps with elevated privileges (meaning it's rooted). A SuperSU app is installed in order to allow root requests, so please use your judgement on which apps you grant access.
If you experiences any problem, please reply and I will look into it.

Way to wordy and not easy to follow
Basically:
Boot into recovery (yes i know you don't properly have one)
Get Android SDK from HERE
Once downloaded/installed.
Navigate to the "Platform-tools" folder, where you should see ADB/FASTBOOT
Hold shift, right click and "open command prompt here"
type fastboot devices
(if your device is listed, move on)
Unlock your bootloader
type fastboot oem unlock
Download THIS(supersu)
Download TWRP from HERE
Place the SuperSU download file on your SD CARD (Nexus has a virtual SD, place it there)
Place the recovery in the "Platform-tools" folder with your ADB/FASTBOOT files.
Reboot to fastboot again (Power and volume down)
fastboot devices
if listed continue:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.4.1.0-grouper.img
Reboot back into recovery (which should now be twrp) (POWER AND VOLUME DOWN)
Then from TWRP menu choose "Install"
Find the 2 files you downloaded and placed on SD card
Install them using TWRP.
Reboot
Profit.

Well... I liked it... for a guy with only 2 posts to his/her name to explain (perhaps in TOO much detail) how to root takes b**ls:!
Keep it up, naman14... but be a little more judicious in what you include (and choose to exclude) in your walkthrou's.
Writing instructions is art in itself... and requires practice. Succinct and pithy is the way to go.

Thank you all, the last thing i ever rooted was my sprint htc hero a yr or so ago

How To Flash
Step 1: First connect your device to PC (desktop/laptop) via USB and make sure that USB debugging enabled on your device.
Step 2: Now to be on safe side create a Nandroid backup from recovery its because if something goes wrong then you can easily backup all your data.
Step 3: After creating backup, now download the ROM (FFOS_mako_********.zip) file and place these files on the SD card of the phone.
Step 4: Now switch off the phone and boot the phone into Recovery mode.
Step 5: Assuming you are in the Recovery mode and now you have to wipe the full data on your device. To do this, you have to click on “Wipe Data/Factory Reset” option. As soon as you click on “Wipe Data/Factory Reset” option a new screen pop-up where you have to click on “Yes” option.
Step 6: After wiping out all the data on your device you have to wipe the cache & the dalvik cache also.
Step 7: Now go to “install zip from SD card” option and click on “select zip from SD card”. After selecting the option “select zip from SD card” you have to choose the ROM file.
Step 8: After performing all the correctly in step 7 you have to clear the cache and & dalvik cache again.
Step 9: Now, go to “Install zip from SD card” option and click on “Select zip from SD card”. After selecting the option “Select zip from SD card”, you have to choose the optional file like home app or server module
Step 10 : Assuming you have performed all the steps correctly, now simply reboot your device and it will boot into Firefox OS.

How to dual boot: ONLY FOR GALAXY S2
Warning: This procedure doesn't really work anymore. It only works with Android 4 (Ice Cream Sandwich) and Siyah Kernel v 5.0.1. Later versions of either won't work. Consider this guide archived, and use it at your own risk.
If you want to test B2G from time to time but continue using Android as your main OS and you have a Samsung Galaxy S2, you can choose to install B2G in a separate partition (which is already present on the phone) and choose where to boot into when your device starts.
Prerequisites
In order to dual boot Android and B2G, you have to meet these prerequisites:
You have to have built B2G for the Galaxy S2
You have to download the Siyah kernel v. 5.0.1 for the Galaxy S2
You need the tool simg2img, that you get automatically if you build B2G following the guide on MDN
You need the heimdall tool, best if version 1.3.1 as you may encounter problems with version 1.3.2
One-time operations
There are several operations to do in order to get a working dual boot. The following ones need to be done the first time only.
In order to use heimdall without requiring root access, you should create a file called android.rules (the portion of the name before the .rules extension is arbitrary) and place it in /etc/udev/rules.d. The file should contain a line line the following:
Code:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="04e8", MODE="0666"
In order to activate this rule, you should restart udev:
Code:
sudo service udev restart
and then unplug and replug in the phone. The above rule will also allow adb to access the SGS2 without requiring root privlidges.
Flashing the Siyah kernel
The Siyah kernel is mandatory for the dual boot, because it is this kernel that manages it. Once you have downloaded and decompressed the tar file, you'll be left with a file named zImage. In order to flash it on your phone you have to follow these steps:
Switch off your phone
Reboot in download mode (press together volume down + home + power buttons and then, when asked, volume up button)
Use heimdall to flash the kernel with the following command (your phone needs to be connected to your PC):
heimdall flash --kernel /path/to/zImage
Once the kernel is flashed the phone will reboot.
Preparing the B2G rom environment
Once you've installed the Siyah kernel, it's time to use its functions to prepare the environment to install your B2G image in the secondary partition. Follow these steps:
Switch off your phone
Reboot in recovery mode (press together volume up + home + power buttons)
In the CWMR Touch interface, go to dual-boot options -> Wipe 2ndROM data/cache -> Yes - Wipe. This operation will take some time
Once the operation is finished, select Go Back and then reboot system now to reboot your phone. If you check, inside the internal SD card of your phone you'll now have a .secondrom directory with inside two files named cache.img and data.img.
B2G update operations
The following operations need to be done every time you build a new version of B2G.
In order to simplify command line instructions, it's advised to copy all needed files in a same folder of your choice. These are the files that need to be copied inside the folder:
Code:
simg2img, found in B2G/out/target/product/galaxys2/system/bin/
system.img, found in B2G/out/target/product/galaxys2/
userdata.img, found in B2G/out/target/product/galaxys2/
Once you have all the files in one place, do the following:
Create a data.img file out of the sparse file userdata.img. You can do it with the following command:
Code:
simg2img userdata.img data.img
Put the data.img file on your phone's .secondrom folder. You can do this either by enabling file storage mode on your phone and connecting it to your PC or, if you have USB Debug active, you can use adb:
adb push /path/to/data.img /sdcard/.secondrom/data.img
Switch off your phone
Reboot in download mode (press together volume down + home + power buttons and then, when asked, volume up button)
Use heimdall to flash B2G firmware inside the second partition:
heimdall flash --hidden system.img
Once the flash is finished, your phone will reboot and at boot time you can boot into your second rom (the B2G one) by pressing the home button during the bootloader countdown. If everything has gone right, once you've finished booting B2G you'll have a black screen on your phone. You now have to install Gaia.
Note: Depending on how you want to test B2G, you may not want to put a new data.img file on the phone every time you update B2G, as it will wipe all of your preferences, installed applications and in general pretty much everything you've done while using B2G.
Boot operations
The following operations need to be done every time you boot inside B2G.
Unfortunately, there's no simple way to put Gaia inside the system.img B2G image, and it get lost when you switch off your phone, so you'll need to install Gaia again every time you boot inside B2G. To install Gaia, type the following on a console after you've booted your phone inside B2G (so you have a black screen) and have connected your phone to your PC:
cd B2G/gaia
GAIA_DOMAIN=foo.org make install-gaia
After the upload of Gaia is completed, on your phone's screen the B2G interface will appear.

Dual Boot for Galaxy S5 SM-G901F

Dual Boot your Galaxy S5 G901F
First i'm not a programmer, I am an enthusiast user who likes to use the full potential of his phone
I found a way to dual boot the G901F though there is little development support for it
(too bad despite the potential of this device)
I like to thanks @chenxiaolong for his dual boot app for the Galaxy S4 witch i used for this to happen
I also like to thanks @aukhan for his post on how to dual boot the Note4 from where i got the link for "swap roms.apk"
Now lets beggin
0. you should have a backup of your primary rom.zip and your actual kernel.zip
and of corce your device rooted
1. download and install DualBootPatcher for win 32 and android from @chenxiaolong post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2447534
I installed DualBootPatcher.apk on the phone and for pathing i used DualBootPatcher for win32 on my pc
2. open DualBootPatcher for win32
3. on the new window hit the "chose file" tab
4. select your secondary rom.zip (eg.cm12.1 or cm13)
5. on "device" section select "trlte - SamsungGalaxyNote4(Snapdragon)"
i chose this thinking that Note4 Snapdragon has the same hardware as G901F and it could influence the instalation
6. on "install to" section select secondary
now hit the "start patching" tab and wait for the rom to be patched
7. inside the new rom_patched.zip in the "multiboot" folder you will find a file named "info.prop"
8. open it with a text editor and at the bottom you will find the line:
"mbtool.installer.ignore-codename=false"
9. change "false" to "true"
10. repeat steps 2-9 for your downloader version of gapps
11. install "swap roms.apk" from this link
https://www.dropbox.com/s/97st26iuk0jc9vc/Swap_Roms.3.apk?dl=0
but dont open it yet
12. with a file explorer on your phone go to sdcard/MultiBoot folder
13. there should be two folders "dual" and "primary"
14. if not, create them
asuming that you have both of your primary(actually installed) and secondary rom images (.zip files)
follow the next steps
15. copy boot.img from secondary patched rom to dual folder (sdcard/MultiBoot/dual)
16. copy boot.img from primary rom to primary folder (sdcard/MultiBoot/primary)
now copy rom_patched.zip and gapps_pathed.zip to your device
remember and don't forghet to edit "info.prop" from step 7 or the installation won't work
17. open DualBootPatcher installed on your device
18. hit the 3 lines menu from the top-left corner and select "roms"
19. hit the red icon on the bottom right corner, then the "+" one and install your secondary rom
after the istallation finishes install the gapps
20. after the install, exit the app
21. open "swap roms" witch you installed in step 11 and select dual
you should see a message telling that the kernel has been flashed
after it is done, click reboot
22. the device should boot to secondary rom
23. after configuring your new rom, repeat step 11 (install "swap roms.apk")
25. now to switch between roms use "swap roms" (select primary or dual depending on witch rom you are)
26. if anithing goes wrong go to recovery and flash your primary_kernel.zip
it should boot to primary rom
27. you can delete the secondary rom via DualBootPatcher->roms
For each .zip file you want to flash to your secondary rom repeat steps 2-9
I hope that you found this usefull and don't forget to press "thaks"​

Thx

@chenxiaolong at my request added full support to dual boot the G901F so use his app from this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2447534

this being said it's time to close this thread

it work on g900f?

[HOW TO] Install GNU/Linux on Nook HD+ (CM11 support) No shell commands needed!

Here's a quick/simplified guide to bring Debian Linux (you can choose another distro if you will) to Nook HD+.
It's for those that don't want to get their hands dirty with shell commands to set the thing up.
You have to run CM11 (the later the version the better), you also have to give root permissions wherever asked:
1) Download and Install Meefik's Busybox
a) Install the app
b) Open it
c) Tap install -> OK in the lower right corner​2) Update ENV settings on LinuxDeploy:
a) Install LinuxDeploy
b) Open it
c) Go to settings (three-dot icon -> Settings)
d) Tap Update ENV​3) Download and place config files
a) Download the Config Files
b) Extract and place the files to your Download folder in your tablet (/sdcard/Download).​4) Install LinuxCanvas companion up (it's an app I made to solve some bugs of LinuxDeploy)
a) Download it
b) Install the apk (tap it)
c) Open it and give it root permissions​5) Install a Linux image:
a) Open LinuxDeploy
b) Go to properties (icon showing an "arrow down")
c) Use the follow settings (everything else you leave it as is):
To Distribution Suite: Wheezy
To Installation Path: change the "/storage/emulated" part to "/data/media" (everything else stays as is)
To Select Components: Tick X server and untick VNC Server
To Graphics subsystem: choose Framebufer
To GUI Settings: On Freeze Android UI, choose Pause
To Custom Mounts: Tick it
To Mount Points: Delete the extant mount points and add ("plus" sign) the following:
/data/media/0
/mnt/media_rw/sdcard1
d) Tap install on properties' main menu and wait (quite) a bit (until it reads "<<< install")​
With the installation finished do as follows to run the thing:
1) Turn Bluetooth on
2) Pair bluetooth devices to Android, so that to control Linux later (typically keyboard and mouse, you only need to do that once)
3) Go to LinuxCanvas and press "Volume up"
4) Voila!
The only way to get back to Android is to reboot. To do that double click the reboot.sh file and press "Execute" (you can find it to /mnt/0/Download, copy it to desktop for easier access).
I'll try to find a better solution, I'm open to suggestions.
Pro Tip: If the elements are too small for you change the DPI from LinuxDeploy -> Properties -> GUI Settings
If you tried the above guide please post feedback (i.e. "where the guide can become better/easier?" and/or "how did Linux work for you?").
Note: The guide is checked to work with CyanogenMod-11 February 2016's nightlies running internally and LinuxDeploy v1.5.6 . Any other versions of either may not work as intended.
Also you need at least 4GB of Internal storage to make it work (of course you can choose a different image size from LinuxDeploy's Properties or opt to use the whole of your external SDcard/partition).

thank you for this post it works great

Not enough information. Please elaborate on the installation procedure itself. On Ubuntu of course it should install to sda2. I chose the path /dev/sda2/ then used .iso for the install method, and then upon trying to do the install using option 2 it simply keeps bringing me back to the menu where choices 1-4 are present.
I actually got PhoenixOS to install using the USB method, however I cannot find a working boot sequence for GRUB bootloader. I'm kind of at a loss for finding a way to easily switch between Ubuntu and PhoenixOS.

I got this done by making different partitions. Sounds like a no-brainer, but it works. My main OS is MacOSX, then I made different partitions of FAT32s using Disk Utility, I created them all in different sizes (to prevent confusion). After that, I just install the other OS one by one (Phoenix will always be the last). And, I made some extra partitions during Linux installation (just in case) and deleted them after.
As for the Phoenix post, Thank you

It does not work...
I have placed the script and the iso file in the same home directory, chdir in that place but the script does nothing ... It asks for sudo and the it does not create any directorys.
To complicated to debug for me....
EDIT:
I have managed to install it in home / iso mode
I had to edit the generated schipt for modifying GRUB. It was copiing the whole script and not stopping at EOF ?!

It works great
Setup;
1 - Download Phonix OS ISO image on Phonix OS web site
2 - Create a folder with any name
3 - Copy the Iso file to this folder and extract the PhoenixOS-Installer-Linux.zip file to this folder
4 - Open the terminal and go to the folder you created
5 - Now run "chmod +x PhoenixOS-Installer-Linux" and "./PhoenixOS-Installer-Linux" command
6 - The script will run
7 - Select "Select Path & Method"
8 - Type "home" for path and press enter
9 - Type "iso" for method and press enter
10 - Select "Install Rom" and follow the steps
11 - Run the "sudo update-grub" command using the terminal when the process is finished
12 - Restart the computer and select Phoenix Os
I'm sorry for my bad english
