What does it say when you enter "fastboot oem devices"?

[Billo86]

^i am following your vid, and i typed "fastboot oem unlock" like you did in the vid. then my cmd window shows "..." just like your video but nothing more happens. The tablet is on android robot and cmd is "..." and i cant type anything in it.

enter "fastboot oem devices" and tell me what it says

[2defmouze]

enter "fastboot oem devices" and tell me what it says

*Just "fastboot devices"

[Billo86]

command write failed <unkown error>

[ragnarokx]

*Just "fastboot devices"

oops, yeah that I need to fully wake up before coming on the forums.

fastboot devices

[Billo86]

015d3cxxxxxxxx fastboot

then back to c:/nexus7

[ragnarokx]

015d3cxxxxxxxx fastboot

Then when you type "fastboot oem unlock" a prompt should appear on your tablet to accept the unlock. Unless it's already unlocked - does it say the bootoader is "locked" or "unlocked" on the bottom left of the screen?

[Billo86]

nope,
its still gives me " failed <command write error <error unkown>

says locked in red

ive download the nexus7.zip from your first post and download universal from this page. followed everything like you showed in the video. made sure i spelled everything right in cmd window

Try a different USB port and/or a different USB cable.

[Billo86]

Different usb worked, got that meesage on the tablet you got in the vid. gonna follow your instructions there. thanks for the help xD

i chose " install zip from sd card / choose zip from sd card" like you did in the vid but nothing happens. its says "e:cant mount /SDCARD/"

i think i have a idea whats going wrong in my case. i have daemon tool installed, and i try to push supersu.zip to sdcard, it says "daemon not running, daemon started succesfully. so it sends the zip to daemon software rather then the tablet. going to unistall daemon now but it will ask to restart my pc. is it safe to that whit my tablet in clockworkmod?

so uninstalled daemon tools software, didnt restart my pc since i wasnt sure if i should with my tablet connected to it. i pushed supersu.zip again and rebooted revocery. it still cant mount sdcard

Make sure you are using the latest recovery. Download the image from here:

Scroll down to Google Nexus 7, and select the appropriate touch version for either the standard or GSM enabled device, whichever you have. Then just like you did earlier, flash it from the bootloader and boot into it, then use that to flash the supersu.zip. Also make sure it is the most recent SuperSU zip, v .99, available here:

@ragnarokx, check the OP files and make sure they have the latest recovery and su available as well, or people will have problems with anything 4.2 or later

Good call, haven't updated in a while.

Updated CWM and SU in OP.

[ragnarokx]

I also added an option for GSM recovery.

[Billo86]

"Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it." Google Nexus 7 Bootloader interface then it says Access is Denied. What is this coming from? I have full access to the files...

EDIT: Alright got it rooted and supersu is a champ and running smooth. Now what is a good ROM to install?
