nexus 7 day 2
okay i want to root my nexus 7. this will let me make all kinds of changes to it. generally this is a serious pain the ass. fortunately wugfresh has made it easy. download his nexus root toolkit. it's not a very friendly looking interface. however, each step has detailed instructions that seem to pretty much just work. which is nice. the bad part is, there's no uber guide telling you which order to do things in. the first and most annoying step is the big button at the top - full driver installation guide automatic and manual. you will need to reboot your pc several times. the annoying part. my nexus 7 was factory reset. but i used nrt to make a backup anyways. and i successfully backed up 0 files. heh. next step is to unlock. and the final step is to root. some steps take a while. some steps require input on either the pc or the n7 or both. check each frequently. you may have to re-enable usb debugging. make a mental note. the next time the toolkit wants to control the device, the device will need you to tell it to remember that this pc may debug it. whew, another day's work. it went more easily today. yay! check again tomorrow to see if we can get a custom image installed.
