I have a nexus 7 flo tablet (with android 5.0.1) and I tried rooting it using twrp. It gave errors such as "can't mount /data" etc . I had to reflash from the source flo image to restore the device. So, I want to root the device by building the AOSP source. If i just build from source and flash the device will it give root access ? How do i proceed ?. Alternatively, if i just modify the kernel a bit and then load it, will it give me root access ?

Thanks

  • You probably want to find a suitable tutorial online outlining the steps required for your particular version of the nexus 7 - "grouper" (2012) vs "flo" (2013). Rooting is so much easier these days(unlike the days of odin) that it shouldn't take long for you to find a suitable guide for rooting. Also make sure to include "xda" in your search queries, as those guys are usually up to date on the best way to root your device
