Here We have the Root And CWM for Nexus 10 On Android 4.2.2!
Step 1 - Download Android SDK from the Android Developers website and install with USB drivers. See: How to Set Up Android SDK (Fastboot / ADB) on Windows.
Step 2 - Enable USB Debugging mode in your Nexus 10 tablet.
Step 3 - Download Fastboot and extract it in android-sdk-windowsplatform-tools directory. Create directory if not already there.
NOTE: Skip Steps 1, 2, 3 if you already have them.
Step 4 - Download SuperSU v1.04 (UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.04.zip) and copy it to your sdcard on your Nexus 10 tablet.
Step 5 - Make sure you have backup your data as it will be removed. Then switch OFF your Nexus 10.
Step 6 - Download recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.2.3-manta.img and copy/paste it in the android-sdk-windowsplatform-tools directory.
Step 7 - Now go into Fastboot Mode on Nexus 10. How? Press Volume Down + UP + Power key for a few seconds till you see some text on the screen.
Step 8 - Navigate to android-sdk-windowsplatform-tools directory and open Command Prompt (Shift + Right-click > Open Command Prompt).
Step 9 - Type in the following command and press Enter.
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.2.3-manta.img

Step 10 - Once completed, choose RECOVERY MODE from the Fastboot menu and enter Recovery Mode.
Step 11 - Then scroll down to “flash zip from SD card” and press the Power button to select it.
Step 12 - Press the Power button again and select “choose zip from sdcard”.
Step 13 - Now using your volume keys, navigate to the UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.04.zip file that you copied to your SD card and select it using the Power button. Confirm the installation on the next screen and the installation procedure should start now.
Step 14 - After the installation completes, go to “+++++Go Back” and reboot the phone by selecting “reboot system now” from the recovery menu. Then Choose yes flash recovery back (this will make CWM your permanent recovery mode)
That’s it. Your Nexus 10 is now rooted on Android 4.2.2 JDQ39 software version of Jelly Bean and even has a custom CWM recovery installed. Check for the SuperSU app in your apps list to verify.

how do I install TWRP now?
never mind was trying to flash a .TAR file this wayyy... figured it out. need a .img
Use the nexus 10 toolkit
Side Load via adb,
then re run the everything script in toolkit.
Worked like a charm for me, however, I did have to reflash back to my first backup, to be on stock 4.2.1 with stock kernel

hope this one works :fingers-crossed:
I followed your method and got:
1.- Clockworkmod E:can't mount /sdcard/
2.- System stuck at Nexus X logo
What do I do now?
[update]
1.- Got factory image: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#mantaray
2.- Ran "flash-all.bat" from the tgz
3.- Flashed recovery-twrp-2.4.2.0-manta.img
4.- TWRP asked if I wanted to install SU, I said yes
5.- Happy days.
Sorry if this has already been asked and I'm not understanding it.
I bought my mom a Nexus10 and it's missing some Indian fonts on it. I saw I need to flash on a fontpack to add them.
The tablet is totally stock, on 4.2.2..
Do I need to unlock the bootloader first (which wipes all the data) and then do the steps from the 1st post?
This whole process is not working for me. I am in windows 8 and it just doesnt let me install sdk nor even ask me to install drivers. Can you suggest what is the possible way out? I am unable to move ahead due to these issues :/
Root failed.
I followed all instructions (I have successfully rooted a number of smartphones and the Nexus 7 before this). The end result is that the Nexus 10 is unlocked, but hangs on bootup with just the X showing. I can't go into Recovery mode (I just get the Android lying on his back with an exclamation point showing and eventually it tries a normal boot - as far as the X).
I can't try Restart Bootloader as this, too, leads to just the X and hangs. I have reset the tab (power + down volume) and also have tried to reconnect the tab to the PC, which now does not recognize it, putting fastboot.exe and adb.exe out of reach. I think something might have gone wrong installing CWM, though it did boot up a couple of times after that with a couple of errors that passed by too fast to copy - before it started to hang. I never got a chance to put superuser on it as Recovery mode is out of reach. I tried a master reset the last time I got to Recovery Mode, but got several minor errors and now seem not to have ANY bootloader working. Short of sending the tab back to Google to have them restore a 'cherry' Android 4.2.2 (for a sum), I'm lost as to where to go next.
Any ideas?

FLASHING WRONG IMAGES CAN DAMAGE YOUR DEVICE SO USE THIS APP ON YOUR OWN RISK
fire flash is an App for flashing boot and recovery partitions on both versions of Kindle Fire HD. Optionally it also installs a simple Open Recovery Script which gets executed after entering recovery mode. In script only wiping system/data/cache and installing ROMs (.zip files) are supported.
Usage: download files you want to flash (boot image, recovery image, ROM .zip files). After downloading files, select them and check appropriate options. In attached image there is an example for flashing Hashcode's bootloader + TWRP + stock ROM v8.1.4 with installed stack override on a KFHD8.9. After all files are selected and options checked as shown on the image, first tap Flash,install script button and then Reboot into recovery button. All required files can be found in Hashcode's threads.
Tomsgt made a video http://youtu.be/a1bLCuQN0-U which shows how to use the fire flash. Thanks.
Note: more than one .zip file can be selected. To remove a file from the list, select the same file again.
Update v1.1
-added support for system version 7.3.0 / 8.3.0:
: if current bootloader is not 7.2.3 / 8.1.4 a red warning is displayed and check box for flashing 7.2.3 / 8.1.4 bootloader is enabled.
: unless you are sure your current bootloader is not 7.3.0 / 8.3.0 bootloader 7.2.3 / 8.1.4 should probably be flashed - check the checkbox.
-works on CM10.1
-every flashed partition is read back and verified
-shows progress when flashing
Update v1.01
-added some feedback after pressing Flash,install script button
-(hopefully) resolved problems with open recovery script

fire flash generates a script which is then executed by TWRP. If tweaks can be flashed from TWRP then yes. Leave boot and recovery image 'Not flashed' and don't wipe anything in OpenRecoveryScript section. Select your .zip file(s), press Flash, then reboot into recovery. This app only simplifies (a few) tasks that can be done in TWRP and makes intalling boot and recovery partition realy easy.

yes TWRP does the unzipping. If you only need to unzip some files into the /system dir this app perhaps isn't the best choice.

device must be rooted for this App to work.
Works good. A couple things to note:
1. It gives no indication when you click the "flash, install script" button that it's done flashing. I ended up clicking it twice...
2. Even though I selected to wipe the cache/data/system and install the new IS zip file, it did not work. I rebooted to TWRP ok, but had to wipe and flash manually...
But, I'm definitely not complaining about anything cuz it got my second boot loader installed without me having to buy a fast-food cable first!

Awesome work. My plan is to backup the current image before flashing any new ROMs. Using this script how can I just flash TWRP without changing anything else? If I just flash recovery partition alone, would it do the trick for my use case ?

I was able to do it without flashing any other zip files(just boot and recover images). It takes a while to boot into recover though (after the "kindle fire" logo turns blue).
Thanks for the good work.

First download the kfhd7-freedom-boot.img and the TWRP Recovery from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2128848
Now move those files to the storage on your KFHD7, install the fire flash APK and execute it, select the files and check the "Apply Stack override" box and the "disable recovery auto update" just like the picture on the OP.
now execute it by pushing the "flash install script" button and Wait! (it do not says its done so i wait like a full minute)
now do a reboot and the boot logo will turn blue and the you push volume up and then you will be in TWRP
hope it helps.

WARNING DO NOT-DO IT I tried it and it went into fastboot loop, i was lucky that i was able to fix back.
Really didn't want to make a new thread about this but honestly people just jumped to conclusions without being helpful in my previous thread.
Long story short I'm trying to manually get 4.4.2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2664561
I saw that I needed to get s-off, which requires root. Bootloader was already unlocked and so did everything here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2273376
I installed CWM. It said to install a superuser tool so I installed SuperSU.
"You're not out of the woods yet! The stock kernel is system write protected, so you still can't modify it (changes won't "stick"). You'll have to flash a custom rom or a kernel if you want stock instead." was the next line. <-- I saw that message. Installed a kernel that he recommended: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2255900
After reboot I get SuperSU error: There is no SU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it. If you just upgraded to Android 4.3, you need to manually re-root- consult the relevant forums for your device etc.
Can anyone help me get the proper SU Binary installed? Not a beginner to rooting as I've had had several previous phones before. Never encountered something as annoying as this.
On 4.3, 3.17.502.3.
I had the same issue when I installed 4.4.2 on my international One.
What I done to root was;
- downloaded SuperSU v1.80 zip from here.
- download SuperSu from the Play Store
- in SuperSU, select the option to install binaries via TWRP/CWM. (If it doesn't reboot to recovery, manually enter recovery)
- flash the supersu v1.80 zip and reboot
- open SuperSu and install the binaries using the normal option.
That then enabled my root. I'd tried quite a few different variations and this was the only method that worked for me.

You seem very confused about the whole rooting process ... what was the point in flashing the stock recovery ? Are you trying to install the OTAPkg.zip ?
what Rom are you wanting to install and whats flashing stock recovery have to do with it ?
Well, if you looked at the thread I linked, you'll see that it says to flash a stock recovery file in order to install the OTAPkg.zip

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2659374
and yes it is necessary to have stock recovery to take an OTA, but your post didn't mention taking OTA it said you had no SU installed.
to get into stock recovery
boot to bootloader
choose recovery
wait for black screen, hold vol up and then power
you will see something about sdcard fail .. ignore it till the menu comes up
then choose to flash OTAPkg.zip from sdcard
So I got the 5.12.10 update for the weekly developer ROM and it installed stock recovery over TWRP and unrooted my phone. The first time I rooted I managed to flash TWRP with stock recovery, but it isn't working this time. I've had a lot of trouble trying to install via ADB drivers. Help please?

Did you rename TWRP to update.zip and put it on the root of the internal storage before flashing? If yes and it still failed, you'll have to give us a bit more info as to why it failed to flash (any error messages f.e.?). Should be fairly trivial to flash TWRP and SuperSU

It wasn't too difficult the first time, but the recovery seems to be using some sort of signature on the ROM's. All it tells me is that "Install update.zip failed! update.zip signature verification failed." It is named update.zip on the root of internal storage.

Hm, from what I've found on the miui forum, you're not the first one having this issue. These are the "possible" solutions I've gathered from a couple of threads.
1) Flash TWRP using fastboot (rename twrpxxxx.zip to recovery.zip and place it in the same folder as the fastboot executable):
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
2) Update your current ROM (stable/developer) to the latest version if that isn't the case yet and try flashing TWRP again trough the update app
3) Flash TWRP using Flashify
1. download flashify app from playstore and give root acces
2. download img of twrp for redmi 2 note and put in your sd card (I prefer sdext root folder)
3. Open flashify, select "recovery image", find the img file you've downloaded
4. confirm flash, wait until it's done
4) Re-download a copy of TWRP or use a different one (like this one for example)
Let me know how it went..
So I tried Flashify and every time I tried to use it, the app froze right before/after selecting the recovery image. I did, however, manage to make the ADB and fastboot methods work on my desktop PC. I have no idea what I did wrong before, maybe the wrong ADB drivers? Anyway, I did get it working, so thank you

Hello,
Recently I achieved root on my Fire via KingRoot on Fire OS 5.0.1. I disabled the Fire Launcher, and then I stupidly decided to remove KingUser and replace it with SuperSU with SuperSU-Me. Long story short, I rebooted the device when SuperSU finished updating the binaries, and I was greeted with a bricked Fire that would stay on the Fire screen but would not dim and do much else. I can get ADB access, but my Windows PC says that the device is unauthorized and my Linux box says that the device is offline. Any help? I am kind of lost as to what I can do. Thank you in advance

Yes, indeed! You can sideload the latest Amazon update. It's 5.1.1. (AFAIK, the November 5.0.1 is not available.) Get the update here: http://kindle-fire-updates.s3.amazo...aZE/update-kindle-20.5.4.1_user_541113320.bin
In recovery, highlight the adb sideload option and press power to get into sideload mode. I don't know linux, but if using Windows install adb drivers. Now, from CMD window, type:
adb sideload <name of the update file>
The update will install and you should be able to boot. You can root with kingroot. After rooting, read/use @bibikalka's guide to reinstall 5.1.1 with SuperSU (to kill Kingroot) and to install Gapps.

Update:
I tried to install TWRP without reading that it would not work on the newer Fire OS bootloader, and now I am stuck with no recovery. Attempting to boot into TWRP results in a black screen after the Amazon logo and then it reboots into the OS. I do have access to Android, but I cannot flash the stock recovery as I am currently without a recovery. Any pointers as to how I can possibly get the stock recovery again so then I can redo the whole process of attempting to install CM11?
You may be able to dd the recovery partition. Someone else will have to help with that.

Yes, indeed! You can sideload the latest Amazon update. It's 5.1.1. (AFAIK, the November 5.0.1 is not available.) Get the update here: http://kindle-fire-updates.s3.amazo...aZE/update-kindle-20.5.4.1_user_541113320.bin
In recovery, highlight the adb sideload option and press power to get into sideload mode. I don't know linux, but if using Windows install adb drivers. Now, from CMD window, type:
adb sideload <name of the update file>
The update will install and you should be able to boot. You can root with kingroot. After rooting, read/use @bibikalka's guide to reinstall 5.1.1 with SuperSU (to kill Kingroot) and to install Gapps.

THANK YOU SO EFFING MUCH! I thought my HD6 was done. I was beginning to panic. I went through a LOT of guides to fix it and nothing worked except what you posted.
I know this thread is pretty old, but I haven't fixed the recovery issue yet due to being scared of bricking my tablet. So, just asking, which script do I run? Thanks!

The recommendations have not changed since the last time you asked Either install stock recovery via Flashify (dig out the recovery image from this zip : 5.2.0_stock_recovery_only.zip , here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62011272 ), or run the script in post #2, and from TWRP, re-install 5.4.1 bootloaders :

Thank you! My tablet is now working great, TWRP successfully installed. Just about a few minutes ago I had a panic attack when it started boot-looping, but then I shut it off for a while, and booted it into TWRP, and it was fine. Go figure I will now attempt to install cm11! Thank you for all of your help!
