Nexus 7 Root, Hacks, Mods And Development / Re: 32Gb N7 how to Root easily?

After the automated process, you have to update the SU binaries by opening the SuperSU app. Then install busybox with the installed app.
That is the next step, but if you do not achieve root SuperSU and busybox will not allow you to install.  I ran thru this procedure 6 or 7 times with no success.

Tried after considerable thought to root via toolkit.

All seemed to go well  [although I wasn't sure when it kept saying 'waiting to reboot, if I should press the on off button, which I did]

however when checking with Root Checker, it tells me I do not have root access.

Think I best leave alone as I will end up bricking this one too
I had the same problem and left it alone as well.  I used version 1.5.4 of the tool kit.

Nexus 7 Android OS (Jelly Bean) / Re: 4.1.1 V 4.1.2

I apologize.  I did not intend to make an ignorant statement.  The problem I am having is this with Version 1.5.4.  I check the root box with custom recovery either checked or unchecked.  The scripts seem to work just fine but at the end when I run SuperSU it shows no apps configured and no logs available and it does not prompt to change the binaries.  When I run Root Checker it says I am not rooted.  That's why I made the ignorant statement. 

I got unrooted when I upgraded to 4.1.2 from 4.1.1 because I had not installed to OTA app that prevents unrooting. 

It was not my intent to offend anyone or diminish the efforts of those who I agree have been helpful.  The reason I made my statement is because the scripts all seemed to work (no errors) yet when I ran SuperSU as prescribed at the end of the scripts it does not prompt me to update the binaries.

In SuperSU settings I have Superuser enabled, Re-authentication and Show notifications checked. v0.96.

It also wipes out root if you are rooted on 4.1.1 unless you have an app installed to prevent OTA from unrooting you.  I have been unable to regain root since the upgrade.  WugFresh's stuff is no help to me here.

Nexus 7 Apps / Re: Passwords
« on: October 06, 2012, 12:09:56 PM »
I'll got to sing the praises of Lastpass basic is free and $12.00 gets all the extras. It stores in the cloud and on each system you use it on, each blob of password is encrypted so only you have access to it. You can access your passwords via an app or web browser, it will create strong passwords and remember them for you. I love it and it has the Steve Gibson stamp of approval, don't get better than that in my book.

The only problem I have with Lastpass premier version on the Nexus 7 is it is unstable.  I have to restart it frequently which is a PITA if you have a complicated Lastpass master password.  I use Safe Notes to store the password to copy to Lastpass.  Safe Notes requires a 4 digit PIN so it is easier to use than retyping an involved password.  Safe Notes lets me copy/paste the password to Lastpass.  I have checked the Lastpass support site to fix the stability issue to no avail.  Lastpass does not crash on my iPod Touch or my B&N Color Tablet (gingerbread) so it must be a Jelly Bean issue.

It is still the best password manager IMO.  I will not get the Xmarks ($8) option again though.  It does not play well with the Google Chrome browser.

I am Rob, a linux mint kde enthusiast.  I have a rooted Nook tablet that I have been quite pleased with but am interested in gadgets in general.  The Nexus 7 looks to be a good bargain in tablets.  Any advice on 8 vs 16 gb purchase given no SDC option?  My 16gb SDC slot on my tablet is barely used with 50 ebooks and 5 or so downloaded albums/playllists from MOG.  I hope to use Nexus 7 w/ bluetooth in my car to play downloaded playlists as I do with my iPod Touch.  I live in the woods where cell phones don't work so I have no data plan.  Thus I use downloads to play music and internet radio programs recorded in Tunein Pro.
