Whats the best website/resource/sub section of a wesite for rooting your android device more specifically my new nexus 7

I'm new to android but was a big jailbreaker on idevices
I used modmyi alot
Its basically the authority when it comes to jailbreaking

So is it this website or another, or is it a subsection of a this site or another.?

Rootzwiki.com is a good resource as is xda-developers.

The Nexus 7 is at its core a Nexus... It is easy to root once you learn how to use ADB (Android Debug Bridge) command lines. Resources like this forum and places like Rootwiki are great and you will always find someone to help.

Cheers you can never have enough resources

We'll have some resources for you as well, have no fear.

Right now, the basic way to do it is exactly like blackmannx said--use adb/fastboot, unlock the bootloader, fastboot flash a custom recovery, then flash the superuser zip.

Since this is a big Galaxy Nexus, a lot of the principles apply. Check out my Don't Panic guide, it'll get you familiar with a lot of the concepts and terms we use when we discuss rooting, flashing, etc. etc.

Yeah but like rename it and explain it can be used to explain the jargon for the nexus 7
i expect the forums will have alot of new uses asking about the potential of their new devices in the next couple of days and they'll want a to find a nice guide like this one
