Rooting My Android Nexus 7

Successfully rooted my device.Information Links I Used:

• XDA Guide to unlock and root a Nexus7
  • I followed these instructions exactly (except for the issues noted below)
• ClockworkMod Recovery Image Download Page
  • I used the 6.0.4.3 (non-touch version)
• SuperSU Download Page

issues/wrinkles I ran into:

• The adb debug server connection was 'touchy''
  • each time I rebooted into recovery:
    • I had to restart the adb server with adb kill-server;sleep3;adb start-server
  • then unplug and re-plug in the Nexus 7
• the adb push path-to-zip/SuperSU.zip /sdcard command
  • did not work correctly. Maybe its because the adb push has changed in the way it works towards symbolic links on the device. I suspect something changed on Android 4.2. Basically it does not put the zip file where you want it.
  • copy it directly to its real device dir (not symbolic linked)
  • adb push path-to-zip/SuperSU.zip /storage/emulated/0
