First time rooting

[cj_83]

Hello, this is my first post here on Android Central. I have just gotten a Nexus 7 2013 16 gb WiFi only. This is my first Android device and I am looking to root it. I am going to update it to 4.4 KitKat before I root. It would be great if someone could point me to a guide of the root. After doing some research, I've come up with these two options: How To: Unlock bootloader and Root using a Mac - xda-developers and Nexus 7 One Click Toolkit for Mac! - 2013 Model ~ Android Rootz | Source for Android Rooting, ROMS, Tricks and more! ... I would prefer to do the one-click root, however, reading the comments it seems that people are having trouble with it. Can someone please point me in the right direction here?

one click will work but you should be ready to factory reset from recovery after rooting.

that should fix the issue if u ever had one

Ok thank you for the quick feedback. I am going to do the root tomorrow and I will post back here on my results. If anyone else has input please continue to post on here.

Ok so I have decided that i'm just going to go with the manual rooting route instead of the one-click. I have downloaded the most recent clockwork mod. My only question is can I use the SuperSU from the Play store instead of downloading from the browser on my Nexus 7? I am running 4.4.2
