ok you need to have clockworkmod installed...
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
(insecure boot.img)
unzip boot.img.zip, boot to bootloader and
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
or flash JRN84D-insecure-boot.zip from recovery
-put the CWM-SuperSU-v0.92-mod.zip on your sd and flash
done. :good:
if you have problems...
flash Koush's Jellybean repack (IMM76I OR IMM30D) http://d-h.st/Gkh
If recovery isn't sticking for you, delete recovery-from-boot.p in /system
I can do this for the other superuser as well...this is chainfire's super su
Thanks. May I clarify if I have to do both to get root or either one?

the boot image is insecure...not necessarily needed
Oic.. thanks alot.
Is there any chance to pack the insecure kernel into cwm package as well?
I have no access to computer that allow me to apply fastboot flash. I am sure a lot of ppl will be in the same situation. Thanks alot.

Just flashed the two .zips. SuperSU is installed, but it says that the binary needs to be updated. When it tries to update it fails, and no root apps work.

reboot, then open supersu and then update
Worked like a charm, I've got clockwork back after a little adb action and now I'm restoring some apps with titanium. Can't wait to see the development on this. Just think I almost sold this phone and bought a Galaxy S3 today, may wait a week or so now.
Thanks guys you are amazing!!!

Is there a reason why my CWM won't stick? I fastboot a new one in and right after, I can access CWM from the bootloader menu if I don't boot into the OS yet. However, once I do boot into the OS and use ADB to reboot into recovery, it goes back to the Android with the red triangle.
What am I doing wrong? I'm usually pretty good with this stuff.
other superuser
still doesn't work, do you think you can try the other SuperUser app? D:

What did you use to install it? When I first tried to flash it with ROM Manager CWM would dissapear every reboot or 2. I then downloaded the CWM recovery image and flashed it with fastboot and it has been perfect since. (theres literally no use for ROM Manager and it causes alot of problems for people in general)

Did you delete /system/recovery-from-boot.p? Each time you reboot the system, Android overwrites the recovery if this file exists. Reflash clockworkmod and delete the file using adb shell or root explorer..

flash an insecure kernel here (just match version i.e 4.0.2) just grab 1.2 one...
make sure you have clockwork recovery (flash one for cdma/lte from next link or get official)...grab gnex-su.zip from here (on bottom of first page) and flash from recovery
done
i would but it doesn't allow me to install anything from recovery. just reboot or wipe data

you need an insecure kernel and fastboot it in (not flash from recovery)...

yes cwm.
so download that kernal from your link, got that. and then by fastboot it in what do you mean? how do i do that?
do i do it with adb?
If you don't have much knowledge about all this stuff.
I suggest you use Galaxy Nexus Toolkit from mskip (really great tool).
1/ Download the factory image 4.0.2 from Google
2/ Use the toolkit to reflash back to stock
3/ Now you can root, unlock bootloader, etc.
Hope it helps.
thanks to both of you!

Hello to all,
I just tried to unlock and root my GSM Galaxy Nexus with OS X, following the terminal command line steps. I managed to unlock the bootloader, installed superuser, but when I try to access any root application it says that the phone is still not rooted. Could anyone help me please with some specific steps for OS X? I want to install CWM, but I don't know how to flash a ROM on the GN either...
Thank you in advance!
Did you flash the SU binary from CWM?
You will probably have to re-flash CWM through fastboot to get to it again unless you renamed install-recovery.sh

How do I flash CWM through fastboot? I downloaded filetransfer for mac, should I just copy the CWM ROM to the device? Or is there some specific folder I should put it in?

fastboot flash recovery <name-of-recovery>.img
or if you have root access, you can download ROM manager from the play store
http://galaxynexusroot.com/galaxy-nexus-root/how-to-root-galaxy-nexus/ for a complete guide.
so pretty much what you want to do is,
1. download http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.2-maguro.img (MAGURO ONLY... GSM)
2. put it in the same folder as "fastboot-mac"
3. go into bootloader mode
4. fastboot-mac flash recovery <nameofrecovery>.img (I believe.. I could be wrong on this, I don't use mac but it should be somewhat similar)

i'm pretty sure you have to put a ./ infront of fastboot... so it'd be like ./fastboot

If you check the thread I posted above too, it's a guide on unlocking the bootloader and gaining root from a Mac. If you skip to the steps subsequent to locking the bootloader, you should be good to go!
I tried, and I have Superuser installed when I boot my phone, but when I try to access any root application, such as Root Explorer or Titanium backup, it doesn't allow me because it says the device is not rooted. There is no SU pop-up asking permissions either. I also downloaded CWM ROM MANAGER, tried to flash the recovery from there, but again it says it doesn't have permission.
Also half of the commands on terminal don't work...
Could anyone post a very easy step-by-step guide on how I could solve this please?
Thank you!
By the way, I am on 4.0.4
You are flashing a permanent recovery on your mac, right? fastboot flash recovery recovername.img Also, you put SU.zip on your SD card, then went into ClockworkMod recovery (volume up/down + power, choose recovery) and flashed SU.zip from your phone correct? It's still not working?

Use my guide in my sig, sir.
I rooted my phone like 30 minutes before the latest update came out (LG2) and when a friend was playing with it, he updated it. Now it appears I do not have root anymore. How can I get this back so I can flash the CM10 rom on here? If I open super user my first 2 sets of data under "su binary v3.1" are red and then the 3rd item which is /system/xbin/su is green. Let me know if there is any other data I can provide to help assist. Thank you so much!
I lost root last week, titanium backup failed, super user was denied access etc. I tried to update binaries but that didn't work either. However when I booted into recovery it was still clockwork recovery not stock. So all I had to do to regain root was to flash the cwm_superuser zip then the latest teamepic-root-from-recovery zip. It worked for me. If you boot into recovery and it's the stock recovery then my guess is you will probably need to reroot via the Odin method.

I have CWM installed and i can do the volume,home button, power on button and load into it, but whenever i run any package (includind CWM_superuser.zip i get an error saying Esignature failed. I tried reflashing the CWM but when i open odin i cant get it to show the phone and light up the com port box... any other ideas?
You can't flash the root from recovery zip either? If you haven't tried, that should reroot your phone.

When you're in CWM recovery you should be able to disable signature verification.

Hey guys, this is my first post on XDA forum.
So I've recently bought a nexus 7, I used wugfresh's root kit to root my nexus but then it didn't work... so I've tired the auto root by chainfire. Then I was able to get root. So then I went to playstore and downloaded rom manager to install CWM. I went to recovery then I get this message:
E : Cant mount /cache/recovery/log etc.....
I've tried everything I can do such as researching, changing recovery, and watching a youtube tutorial but nothing helped.
Thanks.
I would start over from scratch using fastboot to flash a factory image and stock recovery. If your bootloader isn't unlocked already, unlock it.

DO NOT USE TOOLKITS. They cause too many problems. Learn to do things the proper way using fastboot. I agree with the poster above, you should flash a factory image to start over. Download the system image from here- https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
You need to unlock your bootloader-
Code:
fastboot OEM unlock
Then run the flash_all.bat. That will automatically wipe and reflash everything to get you back to square one.
Then you need to flash TWRP (don't use CWM)
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img
TWRP will automatically prompt you to flash SU when you reboot. Choose yes, reboot, then install SuperSU from play store, update the SU binaries, reboot again, and then you're done.

No, you can only flash custom ROMs if you have a custom recovery.
