[ROM][7.1.2_r23][Grouper|Tilapia][16July2017]Slim7 build 1.2 - UNOFFICIAL

I realize you have tried a lot of "one-click" fixes but have you tried the Nexus Root Toolkit...http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/? I know you mentioned your tablet is basically not showing up through adb and I imagine this will not work either, but it's something you could try.

actually that was the first thing I tried and your right no adb.... basically I need a no pc... no root...... no recovery way I know I majorly screwed up only some one that actually knows how to code can probably help using an exploit or something I have my bootloader unlocked custom rom ...custom kernel and selinux is enforcing

hi guys im kind of stuck in a very weird problem.... I installed this rom a while back along with its kernel and some how my recovery is reverted to stock and i don't have root and I cant see my self in the adb how do I get root soo I can fix this issue I tried all one click solutions and failed help me please really love my grouper

Have you checked on another device if your adb/fastboot environment is indeed working? ("adb devices" returns the device ID?) Maybe your computer setup is messed and in a non working state... A reinstall of i.e. "minimal adb and fastboot" could maybe help

Edit:
Also, did you try to boot to the bootloader (power & volume down, I think)? You could just flash the factory image from Google manually, a toolkit isn't necessary... Then start from scratch...

I did try with my galaxy s5 they all work.. the problem with the nexus is that It doesn't even detect on any pc no unrecognized device error or any usb plugged in notification of any kind the tablet just starts to charge I tried the bootloader and within the rom and I also ruled out faulty wire or port they work with otg it was all fine just did the stupid mess up of having stock recovery

Checkin through the thread for possible solution for your strange situation I found this:

Is there still super user inbuilt? In case it is just activate it and flash TWRP by the App (on Playstore), this would be super easy but I seriously doubt you missed this option all the time while looking for solutions...

Edit: what still is something which needs explaining is how can the recovery revert to stock in first place? You didn't even flash the factory image but only a custom ROM, right? This absolutely shouldn't happen and may point to further, more severe issues, like something about the hardware which could also be related to your issue with not being able to establish a connection to a computer, pure speculation but what you described is hyper weird...

if the rom has su builtin shouldn't I just get root by installing any super su apk .. I used nrt toolkit it had a bad habit of just installing the rom by installing recovery temporarily and reverting to stock after its done whole thing automated that was my bad I was too lazy to install the rom my self thru the recovery..... isn't there any way I could take advantage having a custom kernel and unlocked bootloader to get twrp

Yeah, that's why I never recommend toolkits, it makes people lazy, they learn zero and get their device's into trouble... and end up with situations like this

No, you can't simply install any superuser app, they all use different su binaries and won't match each other... I'd check developer settings for an "root or super user entry", if there you should activate it for apps and adb...

Thing is that you either need a working adb/fastboot environment or root privileges to flash a custom recovery, being bootloader unlocked with custom kernel alone won't help unless you find a kind of script that exploits a certain weakness (dirty cow is a good example) to gain at least temporarily root privileges...

Yeah but this solution doesn't exist to my knowledge, your custom ROM and Kernel maker did a good job obviously, as those "one click root" solution you said you tried already are doing exactly that, scanning for exploits and weaknesses, if they can't provide root privileges this means that they couldn't find an exploit...

Did you check weather inbuilt root is still an option? Is it there?
