ROOT 4.4 for Grouper and Tilapia (Nexus 7 2012)

This is my first contribution to nexus 7 community on xda, hope you'll enjoy it! :)

This is a very simple method to root your Nexus 7 2012 with the new freshly updated android kitkat 4.4
The package is made by me and includes superuser binary, busybox 1.21.1 binary and SuperSU.

ME AND XDA ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR BRICKED DEVICES

Prerequisites:
- Android 4.4 KitKat STOCK AOSP installed
- Unlocked Bootloader
- Custom recovery installed (CWM or TWRP)
- A grouper or a tilapia :P

DOWNLOAD THE ZIP: http://www.mediafire.com/?aoky5jfjcdqd06j

1. Download the zip from the link above
2. Copy the zip on the internal storage of your nexus 7
3. Reboot recovery your device
4. IMPORTANT: Go to "mounts" (or "mounts and storage") and be sure that /system is mounted
5. Now you can install the zip from your recovery.
6. When installed, reboot and enjoy root on kitkat. ;)

Please report me any failures while flashing, i'll fix them asap.

That's all! :good:
