[ROOT] Nexus 7 in less than two minutes

Step 1: Enable Unknown Sources

In order to acquire the application, enable "Unknown sources" on your Nexus 7. This will allow you to install an application from a source other than the Google Play Store.

Step 2: Download & Install Towelroot

Install the Towelroot APK from here onto your Nexus. Because of the way this exploit functions, you'll receive an intimidating warning when installing Towelroot, so make certain you understand the risks, then select Install anyway.

Step 3: Run TowelRoot

Open the application and tap the huge make it ra1n button. Your device will automatically reboot and be rooted!

Step 4: Verify Root

After it reboots, confirm root with an application like Root Checker.

Step 5: Install SuperSU

Although Roottowel will root your device, it will not install a root manager, which will prevent malicious applications from gaining root access, so installSuperSU off the Play Store from developer Chainfire.

You're now rooted and ready to roll. Geohot has rendered computers obsolete in the rooting process, and has made it so anyone can easily root their device and enjoy its true potential.

We will be checking out a slew of custom ROM firmwares in coming days so that you can make the most out of them. Just in case if you are not aware of what exactly rooting means in Android, then rooting is nothing but it allows third party files to access the system level files so that the required customization can be done. The customization can be on the user interface front and also on the add on apps front which comes by default in the custom ROM firmwares.

The need for rooting is, unfortunately there is no ETA on by when there will be an official Jellybean 4.1.1 firmware update roll out but all thanks to the custom ROM firmware developers who have come up with some firmwares based on Android 4.1 and on Jellybean 4.1.1 versions.

Either with the help of below manual instructions to backup or with the help of PC Suite tools, you can create a backup of all the files present in your phone so that just in case if the data gets lost or corrupted, the same can be restored easily.
