[How To] Nexus 7 – Unlock, Root, Backup And More With The Nexus Toolkit

 

You just purchased a Nexus 7. You are ready to unleash all the potential that it offers. Maybe you have never rooted a device before, or have never unlocked a device before. Does the thought of ADB scare you? Thanks to XDA developer and Senior Moderator Mskip, you have a all-in-one handy toolkit that can allow your Nexus 7 to be set free!

The Nexus 7 Tookit is a fantastic program that is easy to download, easy to use, and is the best thing since sliced bread. I personally used it to unlock, root and flash TWRP on my Nexus 7 and was done in just a matter of minutes. Be sure to go to the XDA thread, download the toolkit, sit back and relax and watch the magic happen. Nice work Mskip!
