You might as well. I didn't need a custom recovery at the time, but it's a useful tool to have.
thnx man i wasnt able to unlock but after watching this helpful video i will try to root once i get my nexus back !!!
Perfect tutorial no matter how you look at it, a true gem compared to the nightmare videos people post in attempts to explain rooting. I will subscribe....keep them coming!!!
It's that easy, just hit the "Restore Android Backup File" from restore menu. Be warned though, all this rooting and unlocking could lead to permanent loss of data and device failure. I use my Nexus 7 as a lab rat so I put it through hell, but if your Nexus 7 is your primary tablet device, be very cautious.
Go to my website at sakitechonline D O T com and go under "Nexus Root and Unlock". You will see a huge list of many things you can do to a rooted Nexus 7.
Umm I have unlocked my nexus 7 but when I try to root it says "ADB device not found" and I have USB debugging on and I turned off MTP but it still doesn't work plz help!
Thank you indeed, followed all the steps and got my nexus 7 unlocked & rooted
THUMB UP
Go into "Settings->About Tablet" and look at the Model Number.
The first step is ALWAYS unlocking (as in, unlocking the bootloader)
This is the most annoying part. Did you already try running "USBDeview.exe" and removing all drivers titled along the lines of "Android ADB Interface", "Samsung USB devices", and such? Make sure your Nexus is disconnected while you are doing this. After removal of these drivers are complete, install PdaNet Drivers (making sure Nexus 7 IS NOT connected to the PC) ... does it work? Let me know.
You guys catch everything, lol.
Absolutely not. Plus, the whole process is reversible. You can unroot and relock if you really had to. If you go to my website you can search for "How to RESTORE / REINSTALL STOCK ANDROID to your Nexus 7" I have full instructions for it. My website link is in the description of the video.
I personally think PDANET drivers are the best. But you should try going with the "recommended solution" that shows up right next to the three options.
It's supposed to boot up normally after being unlocked. But behind the scenes, it should be unlocked, as long as you didn't get any fail messages or anything anywhere.
Yes, all existing data (such as music, photos, videos, app data) is wiped and you go back to factory.
Well, basically, backup your photos, music and videos. Unlocking in this case means "unlocking the bootloader". It is a prerequisite before you root your device. Unlocking the bootloader allows you to run custom/multiple ROMS on your device. Carrier unlock is a different concept and a different process.
It's optional. Right before you click the "ROOT" button on the Nexus Root Toolkit, check the "custom recovery" option, and then click ROOT. And you will get it.
When you are in boot-loader mode or fast-boot mode, do you see a tiny "locked" text anywhere on the screen? How are you determining if it isn't unlocked is what I need to understand.
It's the iPad stand by Rocketfish. Copy and paste this in youtube search: zh4nGEqnU4g ... it will lead you to a video I made reviewing that stand and where you can buy it. It won't hold a Nexus 7.
Yes, you will continue getting updates without problems. And no syncing problems.
Well, you can always exit out of boot mode, and come back into it. Just power of your tablet and restart the process. Now, if your device ever gets bricked (meaning it stops responding entirely), it's fully fixable. I put a link in the description of this video which is titled "How to Restore Nexus 7 to original factory setting"
Thank you for the _very_ clear guide, worked great on my Nexus 7
finally, a no nonsense informative video, thanks
Thanks for this video, reviving necrotech in 2024 :-) Ironically had to learn how to use wine to open the rootkit so I can install Ubuntu with Ubuntu. New user. The NRT has changed a little too, step 3 is now step 4. Working my way through just now, I'll update if successful.
Update: So far struggling to get the nrt to recognize the connection to the tablet. If I use lsusb in the command line it shows up as: "Nexus/Pixel Device (MTP + debug)" but Im getting no fingerprint connection prompt. I have toggled mtp setting as suggested and the debug mode, different ports and cables. I can access the storage on the device in file manager, but getting No ADB/FASTBOOT devices found in NRT
I assume I'm talking to myself on this old vid, but if I can fix this I'll log it here. Likewise any help greatly appreciated
Yes, the newest version of Nexus Root Toolkit has full support for 4.2.2
Yes, you can. When you launch NRT, on the top left you can change "Your model type" to Nexus 7 3G
LOL its not a samsung nexus, its made by Asus. DUH
***** Don't mind my stupid cousin. He got on my account when he was over.
I agree, it's very easy to use.
Yes, back's it all up.
It is supposed to, yes.
at present i have crespo 2.4 version on my samsung google nexus I9020.. what i have to do to get 4.2.1 version on my mobile help me plz
i dont fucking get it man i do everything right and i get a success message and when i get to the YES or NO option i do volume up to select yes and i pres the power button to select it does nothing... HELP
I followed the instructions and rooted my nexus 7. My nexus 7 works like a charm. My nexus 7 not only can read usb stick it can also read from external hard drive. Without rooting this device is very restricted. You can only do internet stuff. with the the root my nexus 7 is more than a tablet now. I would like to send big thanks for this guy with this you tube upload
Тhanks a lot :) I used the version 1.8.0 it little changes and it is more easier. All works 100%
if i use the back up option on the root tool kit, when i am done and fully rooted do i just hit the restore and it brigs my files back? for some reason i think it acts like the hard reset... but thats a different option so i guess im just being cautious
I'm stuck on last step of root... "Waiting for your device to finish booting back up..." when it has been booted up for a while now. Any help?
s I understand it, once unlocked, the device is set back to original and all apps and personal data etc are lost; this does not happen; instead, it boots back up in the usual, normal way.
Nevertheless, in case it is in fact unlocked, I have tried to go on and Root the device. It goes through the various steps but "Root Checker" confirms No Proper Root access.
I wonder if this is all because my device is running Android 4.2.2. and not 4.2.1.
Thank you for your help.
No,No. The point is that I have been unable to unlock. All the preliminary moves have been done successfully, drivers installed and the "success" message received. Control Panel/Device manager shows "Android Phone - Android Composite ADB Interface and "Device working properly".
On the device, USB debugging is clicked and Developer Options is "On". I have checked again the Driver Configuration, step 3 and still get "Success" but cannot proceed as per my para 2 above. Very frustrating!
Great clear instructions! BUT I have a problem with my Nexus 7, Android 4.2.2.. The driver installations are complete up to "success" but I have been unable to UNLOCK in spite of several tries. All other progs closed and anti viruses shut down.
It enters bootloader ok, fast boot staus etc and runs some other checks but eventually boots up again into normal running, with nothing unlocked. What can be done?
I will unlock and root my NEXUS 7 today and will follow your tutorial. Hopefully i won't get any problem. I just have a question though i will root my unit just because of one reason i want to install a screen recorder application, do you have any suggestion for this kind of app since screencast wont work for NEXUS 7.
hey im sorry to nit pick, but on the run the test part of this, may i ask why you didnt go through the longer more complex route as if it failed for those of us who need the help?
Thank you so much for this fool proof tutorial! I just subbed.
I can't seem to get the ADB driver put on my computer...my tablet keeps putting a Composite adb interface on it, any help? i have the same tablet as you
Ok I need some help.... If I pressed usb debugging a second time for the rooting will it automatically reboot after that from the program?
used it to unlock and flash takju rom on a galaxy nexus I bought I like the vid you did very well done. My nexus 7 is on the way.
Worked like a charm the very first time. Followed your every word and had no issues. Thanks!
awesome! just rooted my device, but the driver installation was a pain. probably cause i have a crappy computer thanks!!!
Thank you,i plan will buy nexus 3g by the end of this month.
Prices here are roughly 350USD ..
Greeting from malaysia : )
Thanks dude. It works perfect on my tab. Now I can download seeder and make it faster to play games. Awesome!!! I have tried several time but it worth.
Device freezes at 5:30 (Using Android 4.4.2 Stock, Nexus 7 (2013) Any tips?
Excellent step by step instructions. Unlocked and rooted my tablet on the first try. Thank you mucho!
Im having a problem.. after successfully rooting i can't download anything from google play i just get a loading bar, i even factory reset :/
You rock, man. By far the best unlock and root video for the Google Nexus 7 in my opinion.
is it compulsory to unlock the nexus 7 before rooting?or i can root, without unlocking?
Thank You Man I Very Appreciate Your Helping,THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
If I click backup on the toolkit will it backup my saved WiFi passwords also?
What does unlocking actually wipe? Just reverts it back to factory settings?
Ok when you do the last step, get root, you don´t put custom recovery?
After unlocking why we need to root it?
So how do you unlock the sim card to take any mobile phone sim card?
for me on the top left corner it says booting downloaded image and its stuck there
Does this method works on 2013 edition of nexus 7? Thanks
how do you tell if your nexus7 is a wifi tablet or mobile tablet
I just used your nexus root toolkit, and after all the process. when I open SuperSU, it says no SU binary is installed.
and rootchecker said its not rooted... I tried rooting it again and it is doing the same thing. could you help please?
I enable OEM unlocking but it still doesn't work
great guide. works like a charm on the original nexus 7
Does this still work even if I'm using jelly bean 4.2.2
Does it wipe out my emails from yahoo or gmail even though I back up my files?and what about the Google $25 credit will it be gone?
Of the 3 drivers, which one is the best to install?
can i use this root toolkit for root nexus 7 3g?
Been trying for hours and looking at several tutorial. Wish i'd found this one first, can't thank you enough man, worked perfectly! Really appreciate it :)
Thanks for your time making and uploading this video. I had visions of maybe bricking my pride and joy! You made unlocking and rooting a piece of cake ( along with the software NRT). Thanks again much appreciated.

galaxy nexus 7? 00:08
What tool kit would you recommend for the Mac? :(
I have a Nexus 7 2012 (no rear camera) and I rooted it with the Nexus Root Toolkit. After I did this and installed their drivers, I could no longer transfer MTP files to the Nexus 7 through XP Explorer - I can not get MTP to work now. XP Explorer works fine with PTP - it is only MTP that will not allow file transfer.
I have read many threads and posts, downloaded google drivers, ASUS drivers, updated Media Player, and modified the wpdmtp.inf file as suggested and I still can not see the Nexus 7 in the MTP mode with USB debugging checked or unchecked.
The full driver test in the Toolkit only works if I have USB Debugging enabled in the Nexus Developer Options and both MTP and PTP disabled under the storage options.
While surfing the net to find a fix It seems this is a common problem, has any one found a solution to get MTP to transfer files after using the Toolkit?
Thanks for your help.
Very helpful , thank you.
thx amazing
Galaxy nexus 7?
I LOVE YOU
Thank you, very helpful!
