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.

My first touch on android phone and is preparing to root to flash rom later, gnex toolkit looks great for me but is willing to know more about the usage of few options in the toolkit.
What does "rename recovery storage file" done?
What does "boot to CWM recovery without permanently flashing it" done?
Thanks for any help!
All u need to use is the unlock then root and install from manager afterwords to go into clockwork and for my experience the toolkit is so much faster and easier then running all the commands separately and installing the drivers the toolkit does everything for u

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.

I've searched and read many ways to root, install CWM and many of the tutorials I've found were differents.
So I decided to ask people who did it what they have used. Did you use the nexus root toolkit from Wugfesh? The Galaxy Nexus toolkit? Or did you use the CLI (Fastboot , ADB) ?
What is the safest way? The easiest way?
I would to root my Nexus. I did it with my Galaxy S and I realy think it worth it but I always feel a little bit unsafe when I know it could brick my phone.
So again, according to you, how should I root my Galaxy Nexus?
Just don't use a toolkit.
[VZW/SPRINT/GSM][Guide] Ultimate Galaxy Nexus Guide (Unlock/Root/Flash Roms/FAQ)
It LITERALLY takes 5 mins to root, flash custom recovery, and then a custom ROM. The "hard" part is installing the drivers on your computer.
I used the Wugfresh toolkit. It was very easy. You can also use the toolkit to flash roms. I like it.
Is it possible to root a stock Galaxy Nexus without installing a custom recovery? I have no real interest in flashing a ROM. I would like root access on my stock ROM though with as little modification as possible.
You can temporarily boot a custom recovery

If you have previous experience with rooting/ unlocking, using ADB and Odin, in case something goes wrong, then there is nothing wrong about using toolkits.
If you don't have previous experience, read a lot first, then go the safer way, use ADB.
Download the correct .tar file for your phone, download Odin and always keep them handy, when you tinker with your phone, you never know when something may go wrong

I tried to root my phone using a guide on youtube. My superuser installed but is not working. If i try to install root another way will I end up bricking my phone? When I click Superuser, it says it is outdated, tries to update, but it says it can't.
Just follow the guide here. Look in dev section

If you have cwm or twrp installed/flashed right now then download this zip file
and flash it and you will be rooted: http://batakang.com/ftp/SGH-M919/ROOT_M919UVUAMDL.zip
After this is flashed reboot the phone.

I rooted using CF-auto-root
It was very easy, and I had no issues with it.
Use the search bar to find it on this forum.
Its fast, free, easy, and it works.
Youtube can be useful as a tool, but use it for only part of your research, don't follow everything you see. I mean obviously it worked, but obviously, its also outdated.
Factory Reset and try again, this time use CF-auto-root
I DOWNLOADED ALL THE FILES(LG DRIVERS,CM11, GOOGLE APPS) FOR THE ROOT PROCESS, I AM ON LG SPRINT OPTIMUS G 4.1.2 AND CLOCKWORK MOD RECOVERY ALWAYS SAYS "ERROR OCCURED WHILE FLASHING YOUR DEVICE" so i can not root it at all. ive looked everywhere but nothing works.so I CAN NOT BE GRANTED SUPERUSER ACCESS UNTIL THAT ERROR GOES AWAY I SUPPOSE..NEED HELP.

So you're on stock right now? And it is ZVC right? And you updated via updates or LGNPST, right?
If all of the above is correct, ... are you using the KK recoveries?
If you are, then when you flash the ROM you may need to install the flashable SuperUser.
If you're just trying to root and unlock your phone, look in the Development section for the root guide. You must be on stock to root/unlock your phone. If you used Freegee to unlock them you'll have the required recovery to flash KK ROMs.

Ok first off, sheesh on the all caps bro - don't need to yell! lol. I am a little confused though. You downloaded all the files but how did you actually try to root? I'm confused because you say clockworkmod recovery says "error while flashing your device" but it's my understanding that you can't even install CWM without having root access. Can you still get back into your stock? If you can, look at your apps, if you see Superuser or SuperSu then you are rooted. If not, you have two options - use the Framaroot app that you can find in the play store. Install that and use the Gandalf exploit. Option two is to use Fiddy619's Universal root method, just search the general section here and you should find it. I have tried both and both have worked successfully. After that, you need to unlock your bootloader in order to install CWM or TWRP correctly. The easiest method is to install another app from the play store called "FreeGee" and use the sbl unlock method. It will unlock the bootloader and install either CWM or TWRP for you, your choice. If you have any questions or run into more problems just let me know and I'll help dude.
EDIT: @engine95 is much faster than I.
EDIT#2: I type too much, Lol! Also, I haven't used FreeGee in awhile and keep forgetting it's been overhauled - not sure if you even have to pick sbl unlock or it's just become the default.
