Guest Robert Nazarian Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 If you own a Nexus 5 or a Nexus 7 (2013 WiFi), then you might have already taken the plunge and flashed the Android L Preview factory images. If you have, you might be happy to know that root has been achieved thanks to XDA developer savoca. It doesn’t appear to be all that hard. Let’s put it this way….If you can flash the factory images, then you can probably root your device with this method. You will need a custom recovery installed, then flash Chainfire’s SuperSU. Finally, fastboot flash the appropriate boot.img. Not all that hard is it? One thing to note is that root access with the L Preview is a little different regarding system write access, most likely due to the report from Chainfire. So you will find that certain apps can write to /system, while others cannot. source: XDA Come comment on this article: Android L Preview now has root Visit TalkAndroid for Android news, Android guides, and much more!
