Well I am impressed. I thought for sure I would be seeing it AFTER it was shipped.

Good job!

also do i need android sdk installed for this toolkit to work?

torxx · Jun 30, 2012

If you have an android device, installing the android sdk or not should not be a question. It's always recommended having it on your PC.

Darn, you beat me to it.

Indirect · Jun 30, 2012

Hrm...there are a lot of ways you could improve this.

This does unlock your device but it didn't root it. I tried Super USer & SuperSU option & both didn't root my device. Even though the dialog box says your device is rooted but it didn't root. My device would stay in fastboot screen forever & I would have to do a hard reboot (hold on to the power button). For root, I had to do "adb reboot recovery" & flash the SU zip file.

Thanks for your work!

it's better to install it,but you just need the device driver for this to work

well that's weird,it should work unless their is a problem with the recovery am using (it's not booting or flashing),can you check please if the su you are using (superuser or supersu) is getting pushed to your tab ? you should see it in your file manager in /sdcard/,from what you said i see that the recovery flashed but it didn't boot this why you had to boot it manually and flash su.(note that i don't have the nexus 7 so i didn't test this completely,i tested this on a nexus s by replacing the recovery with a nexus s one to assure their nothing wrong with the script)

also can anyone confirm this issue ? and if anybody rooted successfully with this please confirm,thanks

well that solved a part of the thing,can you try something for me ? take the recovery from the tool folder and try using this command with fastboot while you are in the bootloader (you can get there using 'adb reboot bootloader' ) use this command to boot the recovery 'fastboot boot cwm.img' and tell me what happens,btw have you tried re-running the tool ?
could you please try it ? thanks in advance

This worked PERFECTLY! As long as one follows the directions... it should work just fine. I would love to give a donation for your time. Thanks again!!!! Now to get OTG working.

UPDATE: Spoke too soon. Root/CWM didn't stick. Finished the process using the info on this post: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/28585-cwmeasyroot-nexus-7/

I'm still very grateful because I wasn't able to get the phone unlocked before using this tool. Thanks again!

verison 1.1 released !, this should fix the issue making the recovery not sticking,meaning the tablet will no longer revert to stock recovery after reboots,this work is currently based on user feedback,my other tool,and root guides,i should get my nexus 7 tab soon so i will be able to test by myself until then i would be very thankful for your feedbacks and reporting any issues
thanks
