External storage

So use a microUSB to usb female cable with pins 4-5 tied together (aka. OTG cable).
Hook it up as shown below.



code as follows:
su -c "mkdir /data/mnt; mount -t vfat /dev/block/sda1 /data/mnt;"

Enjoy it

I do the same, but use Stickmount for the actual mounting (I'm guessing it does exactly what you have above). It's in Google Play if you have root.

You can then scan your media (like using Rescan Media) so that apps will see your music, videos, etc.

Hopefully everyone here will be understanding of my situation, and I won't get yelled at to use the search I've been searching around the Nexus 7 forums for the past 1/2 hour and haven't come up with an answer yet. So I'm fairly proficient with Android and rooting, recoveries, flashing ROMs, etc. But I've only done my work on phones. My mom [in her 60's, not computer friendly] just bought a Nexus 7. I'm at her house and was going to root it for her so she could use Titanium Backup...but she doesn't have a computer here. Is there anyway for me to root without a computer, or do I have to take it with me to my house? I got flash up and running from the forum already...so thanks for all the work everyone puts in, and sharing the how-to's. Or does anyone have a better backup program that doesn't require root [with user friendly UI older people could use easily]? I have just always used Titanium is the only reason I was going to set her up with that, so I could walk her through it over the phone if she needs help.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks a bunch

Root

Following your guide to root I had a difficult time trying to make CWM permanent (step 5 of your guide).
During the process of flashing CWM a window pop up requesting a driver. I ignored the request (2 times) and I could not go to step 5.
At my 3rd try I followed the request of installing the driver. Out of curiosity and being cautious I checked Device Manager: Nexus7 shown a yellow !.
I installed the driver and could complete step 5 making CWM permanent.

Taking into account that at the beginning of the process (step 4 for me) N7 had its driver and the ADB interface driver (adb device acknowledged N7 and fastboot flashed CWM) what is the specific reason for asking a driver in the middle of the process?

I would like to thank you for your guide, your time to develop it, and to follow and answer the reactions of the Forum members.

Don't attempt this late on a Friday night after you've been drinking! I got mixed up and accidentally flashed the superuser zip as recovery. Ha!

Fortunately, I was able to get back into bootloader after some false starts and flash CWM.

I could not, however, get into shell to make CWM permanent. So instead I flashed SuperSU, then booted up. Being rooted, I could now flash TWRP in Goomanager, then go into ES File Explorer and make the change in system to make it stick. So far so good.

FAILED (remote: (InvalidSize))

Responded to the thread if you check.

Problem.
After device be unlocked, I fastbooted cwm recovery ( nexus 7 latest 6.0.1.0 version), but unfortunately that I can't go into this recovery! Just stay "google unlock"....
