Requirements
Instructions
The guide will take you through flashing CWM Recovery (or TWRP Recovery) on the device, allowing you to flash the SuperSu binary package. Additionally, instructions to restoring to a pre-root condition will also follow.
1) To begin, download the CWM Recovery or TWRP Recovery and copy the file to the ‘platform-tools’ folder where fastboot.exe is. For your ease and convenience, rename CWM Recovery/TWRP Recovery to "recovery".
2) Download SuperSU, and copy it to the root of the Nexus 10 storage.
3)Time to flash the recovery. Put your Nexus 10 into bootloader mode by holding the power button + both volume buttons at the same time and hold until the tablet starts up into the bootloader screen. (if that doesn't work.. try just volume down + power)
In Windows, open command prompt, switch to the path where ‘recovery.img’ is and enter the following command:
For Mac, navigate to the file’s location in the terminal and enter the following command:
For Linux, navigate to the file’s location in the terminal and enter the following command:
4) Go back to your Nexus 10's bootloader screen and once there, use the volume keys to navigate to ‘recovery’ and hit the power button to select it.
5) If you booted into the recovery just fine, now would be a good time to make a Nandroid backup from ‘backup and restore’ so you have a safe point to return to.
6) Navigate to ‘install zip from sdcard’ > ‘choose zip from sdcard’ and select the SuperSU zip file.
7) Once the package has been installed, simply reboot the device.
Now, when the phone reboots, check your app drawer for SuperSU. If you find it, you’re device has been successfully rooted.
Restore To Pre-Root Condition From Backup
If you want to go back to how it was before you rooted the device, or are stuck in that infamous bootloop and are unable to boot into CWM Touch Recovery (like in Step 4 above), there’s no need to panic. You can still restore the backup you made in step 5 of the above method.
That is it.. once the backup is restored, simply reboot your device and cross you fingers. Things should go back to just the way they were.

- ADB with fastboot installed on your system.
