1. I have questions about manually rooting the Nexus 7. Is this guide complete or is it missing any steps (such as unlocking the bootloader) since I've never rooted before.
How to MANUALLY re-root after an OTA update
2. My Nexus 7 is the wifi version with Android 4.1.2 installed. Will all the downloads work with this version and are they all up to date?
3. I'm confused about step 3. Do I download the SU files on my tablet or in Windows?
5. Do you have more good links to simple manual rooting instructions and "what happens when things go wrong" guides?

4. This next question depends on the answer to the first question. Will this process perform a factory reset and will I lose my data?3) Put the recovery.img you just downloaded into your fastboot folder. For me it is in C:\Android\platform-tools. Also, transfer the 3 SU files you just downloded on the tablet.
To simplify things, I would also suggest renaming the long recovery name to recovery.img
