Lot of posts in the web about this is just bogus, all of them want you
|
|
to download a fat rootkit and click on the root.exe :-/

Being a developer device, rooting nexus 7 is easy.
|
|
|
|
1. Gain developer privilege (figure out yourself :-P)
|
|
2. Reboot to bootloader
|
|
```
|
|
$ adb reboot bootloader
|
|
```
|
|
3. Unlock the bootloader
|
|
```
|
|
$ fastboot oem unlock # Might have to be the superuser.
|
|
```
|
|
4. Download the recovery image for device from [here](http://clockworkmod.com/rommanager)
|
|
and flash it
|
|
```
|
|
$ fastboot flash recovery
|
|
```
|
|
5. Get the [superuser binary](http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053).
|
|
6. Reboot the device and put it in the sdcard (or any storage you have,)
|
|
7. Reboot to the recovery and flash it.
|
|
```
|
|
$ adb reboot recovery
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
