Hi there!
I would like to know if there's already a method to root this new nexus 7 without unlocking the bootloader, like motochopper method for the 1st gen. model.
Thanks!

Just root and then re lock the bootloader that's what I did

IMO you are better off leaving it unlocked.
Yes, i know it's the right way. I'm not concerned about warranty, i live in Brazil and there's no warranty for me once this tablet isn't officially available here, got mine last week in the usa, the thing is that i forgot to root before setting it up, and now I'm just not in the mood to wipe it for unlocking the bootloader and put it all back in afterwards.

Yesterday I got myself a galaxy nexus. Today I noticed, that there is a little lock on the boot screen. And when I enter fast boot mode, it says on the bottom that my device is unlocked. Is that normal, or is my device already unlocked?

It should come locked, but that shouldn't be a problem

I have rooted all of my phones from day one or the first day possible! Nexus One, G2, and the G2x.
But the GNex is the first phone that I haven't had the urge to root, stock ICS performs so well that I am happy with it just the way it is AWESOME JOB GOOGLE

Ran into an odd situation, if I swap physical phones on my account can I do it while being touted on CM10 or would I have to go back to stock? Thanks on Sprint

Yep I used an upgrade on one of my 5 phones and want to swap devices. Not sure if I need to go stock so when they re provision with numbers things go smoothly

Should be fine as is.
You don't need to be stock to swap plans or move devices around to other lines in your account.
The only time you want to revert to stock is if for a warranty repair through the carrier. A lot of times they don't even care but a rom can introduce weird bugs that can be mistaken for hardware malfunctions.

Can I use OTG without root on my N7 2013?
And if I use the boot loader unlock and root toolkit will app+data be erased from my device?

Should work out of the box, but there's this bug affecting the majority of users that doesn't recognise the otg-usb. However there are workarounds and it worked for me.
