How to root Nexus 7?

[ifranklin]

OK, here goes. Well, I haven't been on the the forums for a long time since my coby kyros broke. Got a Nexus 7! Woot! I wanna root it... Here it comes... How? Don't go all high tech crap with me either. I know NOTHING of this stuff. Help me out here?

I would suggest Wug's Rootkit. Check it out at our sister forum for the Nexus Tablets: http://www.nexus7nexus10.com/forum/nexus-7-hacking-mods/486-wug-s-nexus-root-toolkit-v1-6-3-a.html

I was going to ask if you have the 1st or 2nd gen Nexus 7, but Wug's Rootkit works for both.

Thanks, I'll look into it right now. Just in case, I have a 2nd gen. Pretty sure.

Good luck!

Moved to the Nexus 7 forum.

Dang, can't do it at the moment. Don't have access to a PC. BTW, does it work with Win Vista?

 

[Frederuco]

AFAIK it does. It is win based, so I would think yes.

OK, good. Thanks!
