I saw people complaining earlier on XDA-Developers about a lack of Linux N7 rooting tools, so I made one.
This tool will unlock the Nexus 7 bootloader, transfer SuperSU, and flash either TWRP or ClockWorkMod recovery images
Features:
- Easy to follow instructions
- Unlocks the Nexus7 bootloader
- Flashes either ClockWorkMod or TWRP
- Roots the Nexus 7 and installs SuperSU
- Uses either bundled binaries or ones found in /usr/bin/
Changelog:
Code:
V1.5 - Minor changes to adb/fastboot selection code
V1.4 - Added "build.sh" build script for configuring from git repo
V1.4 - Added support for custom adb/fastboot paths
V1.3 - Changed expected TWRP image to "twrp.img" for future-proofing
