if you plan to flash a new custom ROM, most of them come with SU already installed so dont bother.
if not then u already know how to do it

Stop using Toolkits....
If you have a custom recovery you can download a SuperUser.zip and flash that.. this should give you what you want. Or you can download a Custom Rom and just flash that... problem solved you also dont have to go through the process of deleting the stock-recovery.sh that runs and kills your custom recovery.
I already fixed it but thanks for the reply and I should be not using tool kits thatsbfor sure but what do you mean about a custom recovery? How would I install that? So I would install the custom recovery then flash the su file and then flash a new from is this correct?

Had a look at Wugfresh thread, did you had it permanently flash cwm?
I don't think so actually

If you want to find out if your rooted check Play Movies. It will say ur appeared to be rooted and refuse service to the device.
The toolkit is amazing. I don't know why someone wouldn't recommend using it.
CWMR is a emergency thing in my opinion. It saves my butt countless amounts of time. U can flash it with Rom Manager, CWMR touch, and Rom Toolbox.
They are all available in the play store.
The toolkit isn't recommended because people don't learn things themselves. OP go superuser and see if things are given root or denied.

Emergencies!!!
CWM is the most important tool in a crack flashers toolbox.
Flash it from rom manager he says, you can get it from play store...... kids these days.
Adb and fastboot. Research.

I was just saying the simplest way on how to do it in my opinion.
And I don't use CWMR much. Only if something goes wrong.
I need help to gain root once I have already flashed to 4.1.1. From fastboot preferred.

Go to bixie's jb rom thread, he has there linked a supersu+busybox cwm flashable zip, dl that and copy it to the device. Dl also a non-touch cwm image.
Unlock your bootloader, bla bla follow guides on how to set up/use fastboot, BOOT cwm (not flash it) with 'fastboot boot cwm.img', flash that supersu zip, reboot. Done, you rooted jb, install voodoo root keeper or something, back up root. Thats one way how to root a Nexus. You can even relock your bootloader after you finished customizing.

Use bixie's jb ROM, it is already rooted and works paerfectly.
Download this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392310
It roots in a couple keystrokes, and allows you to do almost anything else you would want to do effortlessly. It's come in handy through many-a-flash for me.

op asked on how to root through fastboot. If he wanted a custom rom or a toolkit, he probably would have gotten it already.

Thank you,
I was trying an older su.zip and it didn't work but the supersu worked just fine.

C'mon, son! It's a Nexus! You root it the same way as always, there's no cat and mouse game with Google.

I think I'm stupid, because I flashed zip file for rooting, but superuser doesn't gain root access, why?

Ok i've got the file i have to flash to get root access. But what if i dont get into Recovery? There's just a green laying android with a red sign...
That's stock recovery. You need to flash a custom recovery to flash a superuser zip

use fastboot and push the recovery image.
Questions like this is why before you use a tool box you should understand what it is doing first. The same method should work regardless of the version on nexus devices.
The way to do it didnt change at all...

Solution: Flash CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053 via CWM recovery.
I cannot gain root access with superuser 3.1.3 also, it fails to get root...
Existing 3.1.3 binary isn't working. Superuser app shows up, but no apps can get root, this happens: http://imgur.com/a/KePvc
Can't get Superuser 3.1.3 to work either... But it works without problems when using the SuperSU binary.

Where is that found??
If you want superuser and not superSU..
Superuser 3.2 RC3 works.

Since I coudn't get it to work with Superuse 3.1.3, I installed SuperSU (0.97). Everything works as expected... As soon as I switch back to the Superuser binary, root access is broken again.

The same way you root any other Nexus device.
Flash CWM recovery, flash SuperSu zip file. Takes about 10 seconds.
Thread with the link to the flashable SuperSu zip file:

And CWM in case you don't have that yet:

Hey everyone, so im trying to help out a friend of mine with rooting her GNex but I havent been able to find a way to root it and flash TWRP using Ubuntu 12.10. Is there any tut or tool for Ubuntu to do so? I've tried looking on Google for "I9250M 4.2.2 Root using Ubuntu" with no helpful results. Any help will be gladly appreciated I tried using her XP desktop and i couldnt find JDQ39 in the list for the GNex Toolkit but i was able to unlock the bootloader but that was as far as I was able to go.
All you need are the adb and fast boot executables. There is even a PPA that adds them to your Ubuntu install.

Once you are rooted, you can install TWRP using the GooManager app.
Menu > Install OpenRecoveryScript

To root, you need a custom recovery first. Which means... It's already installed before you root, (unless you just booted it with fastboot - which most won't do or know the possibility exists)
yesterday I upgraded to 4.1.2 from my t mobile s3.. and now that when I try to open any root applications like titanium backup and greenify it says root access needed. I downloaded root checker.. and it says *you have no proper root access*.. I don't know how the supersu is still installed?? and it can not be uninstalled..? I tried to uninstall from the settings and asked me to reboot.. but still supersu was there? can anyone tell me how to permanently uninstall it so that I can root my phone again and clean install a supersu?
note: I did not have any custom rom installed. . was just having root access and supersu. .
How did you update? I'm guessing you have no custom recovery so if you want to keep everything stock but just have root, then flash the MD5 or respective root66 image for your phone in Odin

Just because you have Supersu does not mean you are rooted. What is the version after update ?

If you want to root it use cf-auto root to root, re-enable supersu if you decide to do this
