Here We have the Root And CWM for Nexus 7 On Android 4.2.2!
Step 1 - Download Android SDK from the Android Developers website and install with USB drivers. See: How to Set Up Android SDK (Fastboot / ADB) on Windows.
Step 2 - Enable USB Debugging mode in your Nexus 7 tablet.
Step 3 - Download Fastboot and extract it in android-sdk-windowsplatform-tools directory. Create directory if not already there.
NOTE: Skip Steps 1, 2, 3 if you already have them.
Step 4 - Download SuperSU v1.04 (UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.04.zip) and copy it to your sdcard on your Nexus 7 tablet.
Step 5 - Make sure you have backup your data as it will be removed. Then switch OFF your Nexus 7.
Step 6 - Download recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.2.3-grouper.img and copy/paste it in the android-sdk-windowsplatform-tools directory.
Step 7 - Now go into Fastboot Mode on Nexus 7. How? Press Volume Down + UP + Power key for a few seconds till you see some text on the screen.
Step 8 - Navigate to android-sdk-windowsplatform-tools directory and open Command Prompt (Shift + Right-click > Open Command Prompt).
Step 9 - Type in the following command and press Enter.
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.2.3-grouper.img

Click to collapse
Step 10 - Once completed, choose RECOVERY MODE from the Fastboot menu and enter Recovery Mode.
Step 11 - Then scroll down to “flash zip from SD card” and press the Power button to select it.
Step 12 - Press the Power button again and select “choose zip from sdcard”.
Step 13 - Now using your volume keys, navigate to the UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.04.zip file that you copied to your SD card and select it using the Power button. Confirm the installation on the next screen and the installation procedure should start now.
Step 14 - After the installation completes, go to “+++++Go Back” and reboot the phone by selecting “reboot system now” from the recovery menu. Then Choose yes flash recovery back (this will make CWM your permanent recovery mode)
That’s it. Your Nexus 7 is now rooted on Android 4.2.2 JDQ39 software version of Jelly Bean and even has a custom CWM recovery installed. Check for the SuperSU app in your apps list to verify.

Step 4 and step 7
I am a little confused about step 4 as I didn't think any nexus 7's had a SD card slot. I purchased mine right from google. I just put the zip file directly on the device itself and I know from my experience with my old Nexus One that this works too, just wondering who is selling the one with SD card slots. My second question, and really the more important one is step 7. I have tried to make the device go into fastboot several times and when I hold the volume keys down, the device boots to a black screen with no ability to do anything after that. If I mess with the power button (meaning I hold it in for a long time then let it out, and do this several times) I can get the device to preform a normal boot. Any thoughts?
thanks
Thanks its worked for my nexus 7..

Thanks a million man! I was having all kinds of trouble updating to 4.2.2 and finally figured that out. Then I was having problems rooting again until I found this. Your method worked great but I used TWRP instead and it still did the trick. Thanks again.
I tried this but when I want to flash the recovery, my fastboot.exe will then not respond and will try to close. What gives?
Step 7 - Now go into Fastboot Mode on Nexus 7. How? Press Volume Down + UP + Power key for a few seconds till you see some text on the screen.

Just a quick note here, to enter Fastboot Mode you just need to turn the Nexus 7 off, then turn on again, soon as you see the Google logo press the Volume Down key and hold (Hold both Power button and Volume Down Key).
No need for holding the power button, the vol down button does the whole trick
worked for me. thanks very much

re-install the fastboot with all it's extensions in the same folder!
If you want to use fastboot by a easy way, use this guide you don't need adb line command, just fastboot line command and it's an child game by this way
If you have got a problem with your adb or fastboot or recovery....it's very simply and faster
use this:
Download this file "Fastboot.zip"
Install this file somewhere in one folder which is named "fastboot" on your PC
=> disk C: root
Unzipped this file on the folder "fastboot" and you will find 3 files:
- adb.exe
- AdbWinApi.dll
- fastboot.exe
and when you need to push something by the bootloader, you can use it.
Don't forget to push on this folder the file that you need. For exemple: boot.img or a recovery.img, etc...
The line command is :
Code:
c:\fastboot>
Enter
Code:
c:\fastboot>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Enter
If you want to flash the "recovery.img" file
If you want to flash a boot.img:
Code:
c:\fastboot>fastboot flash boot boot.img

Yes, it is a prerequisite if you want to root your android device.
Ok, so I am running the 4.2.2 update, and after jumping through numerous hoops trying to have my device recognized by adb, I just want to make sure that my very first step should be to boot up in fastboot mode and then issue the following command...
"fastboot oem unlock"
???
Then I can go ahead and proceed to flashing the CWM recovery and flashing the SuperSU file...?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
EDIT: I've tried multiple times, but everytime I boot into "fastboot" mode, which I guess is another way for saying the bootloader, ADB loses its connection with my Nexus 7! Also, if it helps anyone to know, I'm running Win7 64-bit.....I'm not sure if that matters, but the first time I booted up into fastboot mode, my computer recognized it and installed it as an "Android Bootloader Interface" in the Device Manager! When the device boots up normally, ADB does recognize it again, and it also shows up differently in the Device Manager (Android Composite ADB Interface)! ANY help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, as I obviously can't issue commands to a device that ADB can't see when it's in fastboot mode!

Hi, vmancini3...
Forget about ADB when your tablet is in FASTBOOT/BOOTLOADER mode...
Here are the salient commands....
Code:
fastboot devices
- should return a serial number to confirm your FASTBOOT connection -
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
- will unlock the BOOTLOADER and will WIPE and FACTORY RESET THE DEVICE; unfortunate, but necessary .
--------------------
With the BOOTLOADER unlocked, begin to set up your Nexus 7 again... as though it was a brand new, just purchased tablet... ie., country, regionalization, WiFi key... etc.
Go online with your Nexus 7 browser (Chrome), and download Chainfire's SU Updater .ZIP package from here...
http://download.chainfire.eu/310/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.04.zip
Upon completion of this download, shut down the tablet.
--------------------
Reboot again into FASTBOOT/BOOTLOADER mode... VOL down button + POWER ON button.
From your PC, run this command...
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
....where the recovery.img is your CWM or TWRP .img file.
Both of which are available here...
CWM - http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
TWRP - http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/103
--------------------
Congratulations.... you've just FLASHED a CUSTOM RECOVERY!!!
--------------------
When the self-congratulatory round of self applause has died down, ... and with the Nexus 7 still in FASTBOOT/ BOOTLOADER MODE, use the VOL buttons to navigate and the POWER button to select... reboot into RECOVERY.
Using the new CUSTOM RECOVERY, flash Chainfires SU updater package that you downloaded earlier... usually found in the /download folder...
Done.
Reboot.
Rooted.
--------------------
I really don't understand why some people seem to have a problem with this procedure... it takes less time doing it, than actually describing how to do it.
Rgrds,
Ged.

sony didn't make the update for xperia c4 to start automatically, so i flashed marshmallow 6.0 in this device.
And now, i can't get in recovery mode, i used a tons of guides, i try to do it with codes on sdk, on sony's flashtool(emma), on adb, it's totally useless i think there isn't a way to get the recovery mode on xperia c4 with marshmallow 6.0.
Sony, wtf?

Search for stock recovery or TWRP recovery .img file on web. ( Remember, Google is your friend! ) Rename it to recovery.img and put it into the adb folder. Then, open a command prompt there ( as admin ) then type: cd <directory to adb folder> e.g. cd C:\adb then boot into fastboot mode or bootloader and then type: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img . Now it should flash a new recovery to your recovery partition.
P.s. You need to unlock your bootloader! But you need to backup your files cuz this is going to delete them!!! Go to setings> slide down> click on about your phone> click 7 times on build till you see a message like: "You are a developer!"> then click back button> go to "Developer settings"> and find an option called: "Oem Unlock." toggle it> Then go to fastboot mode or bootloader mode and in fastboot type: "fastboot oem unlock" or "fastboot oem go-unlock" then click "Yes" when prompting. BUT you can also boot in edl mode and flash it without unlocking bootloader. To do this, try power combinations, or go on google and search for them. It may also happen that you don't have an EDL mode, so you'll have to unlock the bootloader. So: What you have to do.
1. If you have a locked bootloader, unlock it.
2. Get a recovery image ( img. ).
3. Flash it!
Well that's it! Hope you understand me! Happy flashing!

For Magisk click Donload 'latest stable'
https://mega.nz/#!Y0lQnTZI!WG5F2Cf_JpxqsZx59ZOVBydkQMy4Gb25kmWYl1HkzQI
Instructions:
Copy the Magisk and DRM zips to an SD card and put it in you phone or copy the files directly to your phones internal storage
Rename the recovery file to 'recovery.img'
Then copy both the boot.img and the recovery.img to C:\Flashtool\x10flasher_lib
Check if bootloader can be unlocked:
1. Open the phone application on your device and type *#*#7378423#*#*
2. Tap service info then configuration then rooting status
3. If bootloader unlock allowed says yes then continue with this guide if it says no this guide cannot help you
Unlock bootloader:
1. Go to your phones settings then click about phone and tap build number around 7 to 10 times until it tells you you are now a developer
2. Then go to developer options and turn them on
3. Next turn on OEM unlocking
4. Next turn on USB debugging and click ok
5. Next open flashtool and click on the BLU button
6. Then turn off your phone and plug it into the computer whilst holding volume- until the green LED appears
7. Then click on unlock this will unlock your bootloader and let us continue
Installing custom recovery (TWRP) and Rooting(Magisk):
1. Connect the phone to your PC whilst holding Volume+ and keep holding it until the blue light turns on.
2. Open the command window in C:\Flashtool\x10flasher_lib. Then flash boot and recovery with the commands "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img".
3. Disconnect the USB cable and press Volume- and Power button until you hear a vibration. You are now in the recovery. When it prompts for a password, press Cancel and Swipe to allow modifications.
4. Then go to Wipe and press Format Data. You must do this as if you don't, a boot loop will occur. Then go back and go to Install and select your Magisk file and swipe to install it. Then reboot to system.
5. It will take a couple of minutes for the phone to boot up (For me it took 5mins). Once it boots up, setup Android and be sure to skip logging into google or myXperia as it doesn't work without the DRM fix.
6. Turn off your phone and press Volume- and Power button until you hear a vibration. Swipe to allow modifications. Then go to Install, select your DRM fix file and swipe to install it and wait for the installation to complete. Then reboot to system.
7. That's it. Your phone is now rooted and the DRM functions now work. You should have the Magisk app on your app list now.
Bootloop Repair:
1. Open flashtool and click on the BLU button
2. Then plug your phone into the computer whilst holding volume- until the green LED appears
3. Then click on relock this will relock your bootloader and let us continue
4. Then download and install xperia companion and open the software
5. Then click software repair and click on 'My device cannot be detected or started, or is a SmartWatch 3' and click next
6. Then select 'Xperia phone or tablet' and click next
7. Check the check box for your google details and click next then let it initialise and follow the steps on screen

I got my hands on a cheap Ticwatch S2 and i asking myself, what is the benefit of TWRP/root on a smartwatch?
I mean, ok i can make backup in TWRP or flash things, but it seems that there is no custom rom for this model, so root seems to be the only thing to achieve. But what can I do with root on a smartwatch?
