No, that guide is clearly for jailbreaking iPhones.

I am sorry to inform you that WE cannot use that guide to root OUR phones.

^ Nope, in fact you can even root without unlocking the bootloader and wiping your data

Are you the Guy over at Thunderbolt whose TB bit the dust?
Haha welcome, I think more GalNex owners had the Thunderbolt than any other phone, we just got hit so bad with waiting for ICS, none of us want that wait and uncertainty ever again.

Been playing with it all day, getting a feel for phone and battery. Ive git a 2350 battery in it i believe, and life seems pretty good. It did update to jb, and im amazed how fast phone is. If i had a good secure wifi tether, id almost not root, lol! Nah, i gotta see what this thing will do. Really liking so far though.

Should i update radios? Runnin liquid now, no 4g.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Do yourself a favor and if you haven't yet already learn adb and fastboot command lines there is no need for a toolkit for this phone. And to answer your radio question unlike the thunderbolt any radio combination works on any ROM you can update or change radios to see if they help you out but it shouldn't matter if you're getting 4g or not. Plus these roms never include radios..well from what I have seen all the radios can be flashed separately through the bootloader or some people have made flashable zips containing them.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
1. Get Gnex
2. Root/Unlock
3. Flash new radios
4. Flash new bootloader
5. Flash new ROM - I would vouch for Codename Android with Faux's kernel
that's my recommendation plan
Brace yourself, flash addiction is comimg.

You win an item on eBay by... winning an auction or buying it at a fixed price....

easiest way is to not use a toolkit.
install nexus drivers
adb environment -> bootloader -> fastboot oem unlock
What's the toolkit name ?

Why aren't there any screenshots for the ROM?

What happens if I update..

I'm on a custom 4.2.1 ROM . if I update through Google will I just lose root and data or will I brick?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Its quite simple actually. Being on a custom ROM you can't upgrade from Google
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
Can't meaning your phone will not only brick but also totally explode. The self destruct is hidden in the battery along with nfc.
Unless you've got a silk cover on your battery.

If sarcastic remarks are what you're expecting from your experience on XDA, you may want to consider reevaluating the quality of your questions and/or posts that give rise to those sarcastic remarks. For reference see here: http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html.
