It's actually much easier than doing all that.
1) Download Chainfires latest root and copy to SD card
2) Download TWRP
3) With tablet on, all drivers installed and Android SDK, and tablet plugged into PC... "ADB reboot bootloader"
4) rename the recovery you downloaded from TWRP to "recovery.img" and make sure you've copied it to your ADB folder
5) Type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" minus the quotes
6) use volume and power keys to select "recovery"
7) Once in TWRP flash SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.43.zip
8) when you reboot Superuser will be updated automatically by the Play Store
Nice tut btw!
;)

Nburnes, thank you for your contribution. Any, and all help is appreciated. However, ATG's instructions are a little clearer, and easier. I have had my new Nexus for less then 12 hours, and it is already unlocked, and rooted. Yee-Haw! :good: Now bring on those ROMs!

Thanks, guys.

Mine is still giving me the error saying "error: cannot load 'recovery.img': No Error"

Nevermind I'm an idiot! I didn't put the recovery file in the right area!

adb devices
does not show anything, are there specific drivers for the nexus 7 2013, if so where would I locate them, cannot seem to find anything yet via simple searches('nexus 7 2013 driver", "nexus 7 driver", "adb nexus 7 2013", etc...) :)
anyone got a simple solution to connect adb to the nexus 7 2013? :)

    same issue as well. asks for password, adb cannot find device to sideload, when rebooting, stuck at the Nexus X

    edit: need to format data. it is under the wipe option. after doing that, it worked for me.
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    Just thought I would come in to say that the issue is from loading TWRP before booting into the rom first. To fix it boot into the bootloader and run fastboot -w. Should boot fine after that :good:

    in TWRP it is asking for a password, I can cancel that but I cannot seem to browse for the file on sdcard. I cannot seem to reboot into android now, how can I restore back to all original bootloader etc. I saw another file listed as a stock recovery but it seems to keep booting into TWRP with seemingly no way to install any zip or get back to stock.

    Am I bricked? I can restart into the menu with Vol Down/Pwr then I can connect via ADB but cant seem to figure out how to get back to stock.

    Any help would seriously be appreciated.

    EDIT: In case anyone else get this and is clueless :)
    yokken: Hmm... I formatted data, typed "yes" and it ran the makefs_ext4 command or whatever it is, then I rebooted to recovery and it didn't ask me for a password. I flashed the 1.43 SuperSU zip, hopefully it boots...

    It Does :)
