Rooting the Nexus 7 is easy and now Chainfire released his own
application for you to use with your tablet. Use all the info that I have
listed in this post and make sure to ask for more help in comments in case you
cannot root the ASUS Nexus 7.
This tutorial is meant for Nexus 7 2013 ‘deb’ (LTE device only).
If your device is already on an unlocked bootloader, then the data that’s
currently stored on it won’t be deleted. However, if your tablet is not
unlocked then you should that this guide will unlock its bootloader and apply
root, but that means that the data stored on it will be removed. More info
about all this can be found in the preparation guide below.
Here’s what you need to know before moving to the tutorial and what
actions you need to take to make sure that you’ll apply the root on Nexus 7 at
your first attempt:
Note: First try this auto root method
if it fails then go for the procedure explained in this post
In the below step-by-step guide
we will cover on rooting ASUS / Google Nexus 7 2013 LTE model using CF-Auto-Root
tool by Chainfire. This detailed guide can be used to Root ASUS / Google Nexus 7 on Android 4.3 Stock
Firmware.
Requirements:
1. A Windows based Computer
(Xp-Vista-Win7-Win8) or MAC/ Linux
4. Ensure the phone is atleast
60% charged.
Warning!
This rooting tutorial is only
applicable for ASUS / Google Nexus 7 2013 LTE/ GSM. So, don't try this in any
other android device. Check your device model number from- Settings-About Phone.
Rooting voids your phone's manufacturer
warranty. However, you can get back the warranty anytime by following proper
unroot process or by flashing official firmware.
This guide is for educational
purpose and you should try this at your own risk. We are not responsible if
your device experience a soft brick after following this tutorial.
Now that you know all of the above, move to the tutorial guide
below and learn how to successfully root your tablet device.
How to root the ASUS / Google Nexus 7 with CF-Auto-Root-Tool:
2. Extract the zip contents of the
CF-Auto-Root tool. Place them all in a single folder on your PC desktop.
3. Power off your Nexus 7 tablet.
Now boot it into Fastboot mode by pressing ‘volume down’ and ‘power’ buttons at
the same time. When the ‘START’ text appears you should connect your smartphone
to your PC using the USB cable.
4. Open the folder created at step
2 and launch the ‘root windows bat’ file. This will launch the tool you’ll use
to root the tablet.
5. Press any key to begin the
Nexus 7 root.
6. Follow the on-screen
instructions and some time during the root process, you’ll see that the Nexus 7
rebooted and then it will boot into normal mode.
7. You can unplug the tablet from
PC when the root is complete.
8. Check your app drawer for the
‘SuperSu’ icon. This is the application that adds root access to your phone. If
this app doesn’t appear in the app drawer, then it might not have been
installed by the root tool, and this means that you need to install it
from Google Play Store.
These were all the steps that
you had to take and now you can begin to install other and new useful apps that
previously asked for root access and you couldn’t grant that since the device
was on stock firmware.
Users that aren’t running Windows computer and are instead using
Linux or Mac systems should read the instructions listed below as they will
need to apply steps 1,2 and 3. After that, enter the command lines listed below
to push the root files on the Nexus 7 tablets.
Here’s what you need to do:
For Linux OS:
· Launch terminal.
· Make sure that you’ve extracted the files in
the zip downloaded at tutorial step 1.
· Connect the tablet to PC.
· Enter this command line: chmod +x root-linux.sh
· Run the file named ‘root-linux.sh’.
· Complete the onscreen instructions and when
you’re done you can unplug the phone from PC.
For Mac OS X:
· Launch terminal.
· Download and extract the zip from the link
listed in the tutorial step 1.
· Connect your Nexus 7 to computer.
· Enter this in the terminal window: chmod +x root-mac.sh
· Now go to the folder and launch this file:
root-mac.sh.
· Follow the on-screen instructions and complete
the root.
That’s it, these are all the instructions that you had to follow
and now, your device should be rooted. If you cannot complete the root, then
you should ask for extra help in our comment field. We will try to come up with
a useful solution to your problems.
