Hey everyone, Im new here, just got the Nexus 7 2013 Asus.
I updated to Kit Kat right away, I tried using that root toolkit thing or whatever... it got my tablet unlocked but it would stay stuck on a message that it was trying to boot some .img file when I clicked root...
Long story short, I restored 2 times and I guess that doesnt work with Kit Kat yet... and I relocked my tablet. Anyway know how I can correctly unlock and root my new Nexus 7 on Kit Kat?
After an unlock you can manually flash the recovery IMG then just flash the super su zip for root.

Then the super su zip can be flashed once in a custom recovery.
If needed I can do a team viewer with you and get you all set up.

Make sure you download the correct custom recovery for your device (prerequisite 3).

Dear Experts,
I'm still new at this game, so bear with me please.
I have a LTE N7 on 4.3.1 (JLS361) that is unlocked & rooted.
Now I get tho OTA Update to 4.4 (KRT16S) downloaded & ready to install.
Aside from all those bad things that don't work anymore in 4.4 (eg. FLASH), what will happen ?
Will my N7 revert to a locked & unrooted device ? or will it stay unlocked & rooted ?
Or will it stay unlocked, but unrooted, and I only need to flash the SuperSU ZIP again ?
Thanks for enlightening me.

Mine is also unlocked and rooted and want to upgrade to KK.
When you said flash, you meant I had to install TWRP first then flash SU again?
I am curious because when I first rooted my N7, I used the Nexus 7 Toolkit and did not install TWRP. Can't I just use the toolkit again to re-root?

If you had a TWRP installed and downloaded the superuser binaries when you rooted initially, all you need to do is flash them again by pressing the "install" button in recovery. Based on the way he asked it, I believe that was the context of the question.
If you don't, you should install a custom recovery:
Wi-Fi only: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/flo
LTE: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/deb
Then download the superuser binaries to your N7:
http://download.chainfire.eu/370/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.80.zip
And flash them by pressing the "install" button in recovery.
Your toolkit might work, but why not just do it yourself?

I assume there's no other way to re-root other than installing TWRP?

You can install another custom recovery, e.g., clockworkmod.
Some toolkits reflash stock recovery after rooting, but that could only useful if you have something like a Samsung or HTC. Absolutely no point on a nexus device.

Thanks again for the help, xdhall. Sorry if I sound like a newbie, but I had the Note 8.0, I rooted and I could never get it back to stock. The original stock image for the US Note 8.0 was not available so I was stuck.
Didn't want the same thing happened with the N7, but you brought up a good point... this IS a Nexus device!
Thanks

Thanks xdhall.
That makes it much easier to get back to ROOT then.
Just having to reboot in Recovery Mode and install the latest superSU.zip will be a breeze.
I'll probably wait a few weeks/months to upgrade to 4.4 though, as the comments on the 4.4 release are not that good, and I have several very important (for me) sites that still use Adobe Flash.
Anyway, I'm glad I haven't to start from scratch (backup, unlock, restore, flash recovery, flash superSU), as this is extremely time-consuming and tedious.
Again Thanks & have a nice WE.
Hi,
I had my note 4 rooted with twrp. I got mm installed but now twrp and root is gone, any of you guys have an easy solution? I tried using odin to flash twrp but it is failing.

How did you flash Marshmallow? If you didn't do it this way you'll need to downgrade to 5.1.1, unlock that bootloader, then follow the directions in the link. In other words, there is no easy solution.
Perhaps you should have done your homework first.

If you haven't unlocked the bootloader, read this guide for a "how to." If unlocked with TWRP installed, download SuperSU 2.77 and flash it. That's all there is to it.

Edit: Also, TWRP 3.0.2-1 and 3.0.2-2 have critical bugs in them but they are compatible with 7.0 encryption. If you are using these, DO NOT do a backup at all. Just flash files.
If you are using TWRP 3.0.2, this is incompatible with 7.0 encryption so it will freeze on boot. Fastboot flash MTC20F vendor.img (download the factory image and unzip for the file). Use TWRP 3.0.2 to do whatever you want, then fastboot flash the 7.0 vendor.img. TWRP needs another update to 3.0.3 or 3.0.2-3 to sort these issues.

Hello i have oneplus 3 device and is currently running on oxygen 4.0.3 android version 7.0 with unlocked bootloader and oxygen os stock recovery. I want to flash twrp and need to obtain root. Can anyone answer what twrp and supersu version should i use with steps to do the same without bootlooping. Because i heard that it requires some modded twrp and also encryption problems are occuring for the same. Thanks in advance :laugh::good:

Hi guys, I am having some troubles with my phone as it will not update from OTA, it downloads the update, asks me to restart and goes to my custom recovery (TWRP). My phone is on Stock Rom, bootloader unlocked, Franco Kernel.

OTAs is failing because you have modified the recovery and boot partition. OTAs need complete unmodified partitions to install. Follow section 9 of my guide to update using fastboot:
