Galaxy Nexus Toolkit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392310

I wouldn't recommend using a Toolkit on your first time root/flash. There are a lot of tutorials around (stickies in the Q&A section).

Follow this guide.

I agree, especially on this phone, I would learn to do it manually for your first time. Xda, droid-life and many sites have very detailed guides.

im pretty sure this is the rooting method i used and if so, it worked well as im here now with a rooted a100 hundred :good: and if your looking into installing a recovery and flashing roms too i would recommend twrp 2.2.2.1 but you have to unlock your bootloader first.

twrp 2.2.2.1 thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1848748
after doing this you can download any kernels and roms and flash them as you please just make sure you follow ALL DIRECTIONS on these threads so you dont mess anything up on your tablet. wouldnt want that, good luck

[Q] Rooting the Nitro HD on ICS?

Hey all,
I've looked up and down these forums and have not found anything talking about rooting the Nitro HD on ICS. I just got the phone and it already had ICS installed on it. I tried clicking on the link to download superoneclick, but it was a dead link. Can anyone help me out please? Thanks!

You have to 'unbrick' first so follow this link:

I guarantee your answer is located somewhere in this repository of every thread in reference to rooting the Nitro.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1891922
You didn't look up or down far enough.
Also, mattman... time to add a few more to your list.
I have 2, had to unbrick v10 & v20 to root. Superoneclick didn't work. Unbrick guide works. Roms used Cyanogen 10.0.0-p930, & ParanoidAndroid 2.55. :thumbup:

[Q] How to root GN Android 4.2.2

Hi,
How can I root GN android 4.2.2.
my device is already unlocked. I tried GN toolkit but the latest android is not available.
your help is highly appreciated.
Root it like every other nexus device:
fastboot flash a custom recovery
reboot recovery
flash supersu.zip
Learn adb and fastboot. Toolkits are just about the worst thing XDA has ever birthed. If you can't learn to use a basic command prompt you definitely shouldn't be rooting or otherwise modifying your device.

with the release of 4.2.2, it has become evident that 99% of the people here arent interested in learning anything. you should see the Nexus 7 section. The mods wont even do anything over there.
root for 4.2.2
I need files, thanks for replies but still not clear.

May something heavy fall on your head. It's not like you use it anyway.
I don't understand you, I just asked for help since I can't get it done myself and you are replying me with such message. This is strange.... Well someone else do assist if you can.

problems with your post
1) you never mentioned what you tried
2) you didnt even take the advice in this thread
3) you didnt read the thread at the top of the QA forum
regisls you
Everybody relax. Dude asked a question.. The purpose of the forum is to provide help to new users to get them caught up, not to disrespect someone who asks a question, how did you learn "zep?"
Regardless of him/her reading the QA, the question was answered already.

I do not know the name of what I tried but got them from this forum and also another one from here http://www.ngbtips.com/root-jdq-android-4-2-2-on-galaxy-nexus-i9250.html which didn't work for me. My phone showed me the roboto with a warning sign and a "no command" at the bottom while the cmd window was shaping "waiting for device".

Let's see;
A. There's 3 stickies and < infinity threads about this topic.
B. His question was answered WITHIN THIS THREAD.
C. You answered the same question on this same page yourself
D. Its not xdaNannies.
So no.
If somebody isn't capable of being self sufficient for the < 10 minutes the rooting/unlocking process takes what hope do they have of ever contributing anything other than duplicate threads?

he's still correct. xda was not founded to be a help site for your phone. it was meant for developers. hence the name.

They should be. I personally have used the no trip counter method a while back and it works like charm. I would be surprised if it wasn't up to date. The devs are pretty good about it and would also put if the thread is no maintained anymore.

Nice. I used it once before but then auto rotate quit working except in the camera app and wasn't sure if it was a result of that or something else. Ive got a replacement now and miss the root features (TiBu, Greenify, etc). I can always hit em up again if it happens again I guess.
