[GUIDE][MAC/PC/LINUX][4.2] Unlock, Root and Flash Recovery

Re: [GUIDE] How to Unlock and Root the Nexus 7

No, I wrote it as

fastboot-mac reboot

Should I try that?
 
Re: [GUIDE] How to Unlock and Root the Nexus 7

Just tried it and same message:

'No such file or directory'
 
Re: [GUIDE] How to Unlock and Root the Nexus 7

I was in the same boat. I know the update we did threw everything off. I know what I am doing, and have done things like this on my OG Droid and Galaxy Nexus. Clockwork mod just wasn't working right with my tablet.

I went back to stock, and rooted. I, too, will wait for a recovery from clockwork mod before I proceed.

Do you mean you had the same problem with getting the Nexus 7 to reboot from Terminal?

Silken, is your super boot folder on the desktop?

If so try this pls

~/desktop/r1-nexus7-superboot/ fastboot-mac reboot devices

(Apologies am a complete newbie to Android)

I copied this into terminal and it is saying it is a directory. Should I browse to this?
 
Re: [GUIDE] How to Unlock and Root the Nexus 7

Enter this in terminal now

~/desktop/r1-nexus7-superboot/ adb-mac reboot bootloader

If that doesn't work, you can power down the phone by using volume keys to navigate to power down, and select with power key.

Don't worry its Fine. Use the volume keys on the tab to power down

Ok, bloomin thing. Right, so am I powering off or restarting bootloader?

After this, can I continue to root the device?
 
Re: [GUIDE] How to Unlock and Root the Nexus 7

Yeah try the reboot commands first, if no luck, power down.

Then, you can just power back up in boot loader mode again and root it :)
 
Re: [GUIDE] How to Unlock and Root the Nexus 7

You can also power down by holding power in the boot loader mode I believe

./adb-mac reboot bootloader

Got this:

* daemon not running. starting it now *
* daemon started successfully *
error: device not found

Am I ok just to power it off and then switch back on using the volume keys?
