So I've done some looking and can't figure out how to root my nexus. I downloaded the toolkit, but it only has build number IMM76K. My phone has IMM76Q. Can any one help???

Simple as pie. What OS? Windows, Linux, Mac? The steps are the same but different tools are used. Anyways start by following this to unlock your boot loader. http://www.android.gs/how-to-unlock-galaxy-nexus-bootloader/
Once unlocked put it back into fastboot mode and do this.
Fastboot flash recovery name-of-recovery.img then it will write the recovery. At this point you can flash a custom ROM and he worryless or flash a Super user binaries and then delete the stockrecovery scripts that run and delete your custom recovery. http://download.chainfire.eu/212/SuperSU/CWM-SuperSU-v0.96.zip here is the superuser binaries if you would like to stay stock rooted.

There's a certain way to install it. But you can just find the fastboot.exe (in my link) and install PDAnet drivers ( google PDAnet) then you'll be good to go. You'll just have to manually boot into the boot loader which is power off and hold the power button and both volume buttons then you'll be in fastboot mode.

YOU DON'T NEED SDK. Just open up the cmd to the directory where you have fastboot.exe, and then boot your phone into bootloader, and then "fastboot oem unlock". Easy, right?
Now flash custom recovery using "fastboot flash recovery NAME.img" (recovery image must be in same directory as fastboot"
Now "fastboot reboot bootloader"
Use your volume rocker to navigate to recovery mode
On your computer "adb push SuperSU.zip /sdcard/" (or super user of you like)
On your phone, install zip from sdcard, flash SuperSU. Reboot
Now you got root

You gotta install adb driver for Nexus. For my computer, when I enabled usb debugging, it downloaded the driver for me (odd enough) but if your computer doesn't do that, you can Google around to get the exe file for you to install. Just make sure the Nexus has usb debugging on, or it doesn't let you install the driver (from my experience)

It doesn't matter what you're currently on. You will completely nuke your phone when you fastboot the images onto your device anyway.
ok my computer currently recognizes my phone now and i know how to re lock my bootloader what rom should i put it on so they dont know i was rooted before relocking the bootloader. I thought locking it would set it back to default but i was wrong i just had cm9 with a locked bootloader lol i think they would know from that but seriously.

So you got everything stock except the ROM? So you got stock recovery and everything? If you do, first of all, download the stock rom from google site (there should be few versions, that, you gotta find it out) then you need to download clockwork mod recovery (assuming that you got fastboot and adb) now just boot into cwm on your phone and flash the stock rom. By doing this, you're not over writing the recovery but you can still use the cwm
Also you gotta unlock first lol

My Verizon nexus is stuck in boot loop. My volume up button does not work so i cant get into fast boot. Is there any other way that i can get into recovery to nandroid? Or any odin methods i can use to get it back without erasing internal storage preferably? If there is no way possible then i assume i will have to flash stock images.

why would you suggest an unsupported tool to reflash/update a fw, of a Nexus? just because it's made by samsung, doesnt mean that samsung supports it, and the flashing through odin.
OP, use FASTBOOT, it's the tool Google INSTRUCTS you to use to recover a Nexus device to factory status.

Weel, in order to reach the recovery is quite simple. If i'm not wrong, you just have to install correctly adb driver in your pc and, once installed the driver and plugged in the device, you just have to open cmd or terminal or whatelse depending on your os and write "adb reboot bootloader" without "
Or even easier (but you need root), install rom toolbox (both free or pay, your choice) and inside there's an option to choose where to reboot, bootloader, recovery or simple reboot.
EDIT: @wisefreakz: fastboot it's necessary only for fastboot command, for adb command the device could be running (ie when you get a bootloop you're not in fastboot but, instead of pulling off the battery it's better to prompt a good adb reboot), isn't it?
Thanks much. I used the link provided. Since I'm back on cna I can boot from the power menus. Appreciate your time

Hello friends,
No, I'm not a newb, just having some problems. I've rooted many an android in the past, but am having trouble with this build 4.2.1 on a Sprint Galaxy Nexus. I'm guessing my problem might just be Windows 8, but I'm hoping I'm wrong, because I have no intention of going back to an older version of Windows, now that I've got this one humming along beautifully.
The problem is that rooting with the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit always fails.
I also tried the Nexus Root Toolkit, same problem.
Here's the question: Has anyone with a Windows 8 machine successfully rooted 4.2.1?
Thanks in advance (and yes, I've done a month's worth of searching)...

I wish it were that simple. Fastboot doesn't run. I should say, it does something, it opens a cmd window than closes before you can blink.

Use ADB. Don't bother with tool kits.
Disable driver signature verification on Windows 8 otherwise you can't install the unsigned drivers that is needed, once you do that wugfresh toolkit will root your gnex in a matter of seconds, I rooted my gnex after 4.2 first came out with my windows 8 pro laptop by doing this with no problem.

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.

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)
Hello friends,
I'm trying to install cyanogenmod and no matter what I do I consistently get the device not found error when I try to use "adb push cm-10.2.0-RC1-endeavoru.zip \sdcard\"
I know that in the cyanogenmod install guide it says it's probable that it's a driver issue. I've looked around for a good 2 hours trying to find what it might be, so I've tried reinstalling htc sync, I've tried uninstalling htc sync and using koush's universal adb driver, but nothing seems to work.
When using "adb devices" it doesn't give me the error, it just gives me "List of devices attached" which is empty. (I'm not sure if this is what it is supposed to do though)
Attached img of what I've been doing.
USB debugging is on. It's been automatically turned on whenever I connect it to my PC since I updated to 4.2.2 anyway.
I have no idea where to go from here. Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry, I'm completely new to this. Do you mean normal recovery from bootloader or a custom recovery that I should of done but completely skipped due to my ignorance? (I also haven't unlocked bootloader so I'm assuming that's a misstep as well?)
Because all I get when I do the normal recovery is a picture of a phone with a red triangle and "!" combo.
Thanks
Yeah to install a custom rom it's mandatory to unlock the bootloader and install a custom recovery. And what i can tell from your post it that you really are a novice on things. Some tips ?
1: never start without a full battery
2: learn fastboot + commands
3: always make a stock rom nandroid backup before starting flashing !
Read up in this forum. Under the stickys there are some nifty guides. If you have questions after that just ask here.

Thanks for the tips!
After a while of toiling to try and unlock the boot loader manually and getting stuck at the load error for Unlock_code.bin, I found Hasoon2000's tool, so he is my god for now.
My query that I have is, Do I need a custom recovery like ClockWorkMod to create a nandroid back up? Because all I get when I try to go into recovery from the bootloader is this (img attached, not mine because I don't have another camera in the house but luckily I managed to find one on google img.)
I can't find anything saying that I do need a custom recovery, but then again it's not working when I try without one, so I'm not too sure where to go from here.
Thanks again
Please read carefully what i write, i know exactly what to do !
You need a custom recovery !
Sorry to be back again so soon but I'm stuck again, haha.
When I try to flash cwm I get "error: cannot load 'recovery.img'". When I try to use Hasoon2000's tool kit to do it for me it doesn't work either as it just says device not found and in the second command window it says that it can't load it's .img file either.
The recovery.img is in the same location as fastboot. My phone is in Fastboot in bootloader.
I'm typing "r:\Android\adt\sdk\platform-tools\fastboot flash recovery recovery.img". Trying to auto complete recovery.img using tab does nothing (if that might indicate some sort of problem).
The only thing I can think of is that the MTP drivers never install properly but I read on this forum that it shouldn't affect fastboot.

Ok so I still couldn't do it manually on the other computer. Got the same errors as with the first. I tried flashing with Hasoon2000's tool again and noticed that it was trying to flash CWM.img while the recovery for it was actually called recovery.img. Renamed it to CWM.img and it flashed perfectly.
I assume it would of done the same on the original PC I tried it on.
No idea why it wouldn't work when I tried it manually, but yolo. Hasoon2000 is love. Hasoon2000 is life.
Holy hell Hasoon2000 has saved me again.
I flashed the kernal by accident and it got stuck in boot. So i just sideloaded the rom in H2K's tool and everything turned up Milhouse.
Yay congrats

And if it says can not load recovery that means it's named differently or that it's not placed in the same dir of the fastboot files. A common error is that people hide filename extensions in windows. Then rename the recovery to recovery.img.img and then it won't be found by fastboot
