going mad

Ive tried over and over again to follow the instructions on page 1 but seem to get no where I try to unlock the device using the fastboot-windows but that just flashes up cmd black box then vanishes instantly when i try the superboot-windows it just stays flashing waiting for device and goes no further. Any help would be appreciated.

nexus 10 info.

bootloader version MANTALJ12
carrier info. NONE
lock state. LOCKED.

I can't get it to work, i put my nexus 10 on bootloader mode, double click the bat, and it says waiting for device... even tried with drivers, but couldn't follow the OP guide, since it would install automatically the drivers when I plugg my n10 to the pc. What I did is, go to device manager, right click on the drivers, update manually, and overwrite with the naked ones. Reboot and still the same, waiting for device, any clue? Thanks.

Nexus 10 is S-OFF?

So you don't need to unlock the bootloader to flash a custom partition image to Nexus 10, huh? Is this something special with Nexus 10? Does this mean, that retail Nexus 10 devices are naturally S-OFF? Could I also flash recovery, system etc. or do these other partitions need the OEM unlock? I don't have much technical understanding, please educate me if you can.

Did you enable USB debugging as well?

Go to settings,
about phone,
tap on build number repeatedly (6x) until it says you are now a developer,
Settings should now have "developer options,"
Go there, enable USB debugging.

I had to install a new driver by following the beginning of this tutorial: http://nexus10root.com/nexus-10-root/how-to-root-nexus-10-easiest-method/ as well as enable USB debugging. Maybe this should be added to the first post? Not clear whether this has to do with the bootloader being locked.

I lost root after the 4.2.1 OTA and forgot to use root keeper. On my way to run superboot again.

    Introducing.... Superboot! :)

    Superboot is a boot.img that when booted, will root your device the first time you boot (installing su and the superuser APK). No need to flash any partitions, no need to mess around with ADB, no messing with the contents of your data partition, no overwriting the shipped ROM on your device, just boot the boot image using the instructions below and you're done!

    APPLY THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!
    • Superboot r1 - DOWNLOAD - MD5: f53825a2df09277f899b6738b3a059d5
    How to use Superboot - Windows, Linux and OSX

    - Download the Superboot zip file above and extract to a directory
    - Put your device in bootloader mode - Turn off the phone then turn on with the 'volume up' and 'volume down' buttons both pressed to enter the bootloader (as pictured below)
    - WINDOWS - double click 'superboot-windows.bat'
    - MAC - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x superboot-mac.sh' followed by './superboot-mac.sh'
    - LINUX - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x superboot-linux.sh' followed by './superboot-linux.sh'

    Note: If you are using a retail device, you may need to unlock the bootloader first, using './fastboot-windows oem unlock' (or the appropriate version for your machine, included in this zip). Note that the OEM unlock sequence wipes your device, so consider doing an 'adb backup' beforehand if required!

    Enjoy! :)

    PAULY! YOU SWEET SON OOOOO AAA!!!

    Confirmed, Locked bootloader WITH root access! No wiping, no issues, just pure stock Nexus 10 with root access! And too think everyone is saying that the patched exploit since 4.2.1 prevents this & forces >fastboot oem unlock - Not the case folks! On both a WalMart & a Play Store Nexus 10, I have rooted without unlocking & WITHOUT wiping.

    FOr those having issues, the USB driver has thrown a few loops.

    I find the best way is to manually delete your Android device from Windows Device Manager, then delete the drivers manually via USBDeview & then install the Nexus 4 USB driver or the Naked USB Driver. You have to install it to both the device & to the fastboot device, which means once while in the OS & once while in bootloader. To activate USB debugging for this, you need to go into setting/about device & tap "Android Version" 7 times. That will force show Developer options in the settings menu, where you can select "enable USB debugging".

    One you have USB debuggin running & the new drivers installed, just click on Pauly's superboot-windows batch file or call it via cmd windows. Voila...You are unlocked & saved yourself an hour of re-installing apk's or waiting for new back ups via adb.

    I almost asked if anyone could confirm that this works... then I saw that it was written by Paul O'Brien himself.

    Awesome!

    So this won't wipe anything at all, right?
