Just got my GNex few days ago, can't wait to dive into the rooting scene. Can someone point me the right direction? Which is the best method to root. My GNex is as below. Thanks.

I got a Galaxy Nexus yakjuux. I am on 4.0.1. Been waiting for the OTA to 4.0.4 or jellybean but have not received it. What is the process of updating my phone to jellybean.
Thanks
Look at morgy59.wordpress.com for how to root a galaxy nexus and how to image a galaxy nexus with stock Google rom

Thanks for the input guys. I ended up using the toolkit. Worked perfectly. Can't believe how easy it was.

Well, I hope you don't have issues. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21936493
And if you do, I hope you will post them in the toolkit thread and not start a new thread.

Yes I understand what you mean. I started with the nexus one and then nexus s and now this galaxy nexus. Did both nexus one and nexus s manually. My nexus s is beyond f***d . Seems like a hardware issue.
I didn't know if there was something different with the new device. The process is similar but the toolkit it much faster. Thanks for the quick replies and your guide.

^ 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.

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.

Hey people,
I'd like to put mmuzzy's rom on my gnex as it runs like lightning on my Nexus 7. But it seems to be only available in the Verizon+Sprint sections.
Im from Ireland which is all gsm so i have never ventured into the Verizon or sprint sections on xda.
Im just wondering if it can be done or if ill run into any issues?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
It would have to be ported to a gsm nexus. U can't flash a Verizon or sprint ROM to your phone.

I have read and searched for few days. I can not seem to find the stock prime*** boot loader version or a .img for a rogers(Canadian) galaxy nexus. I see tons for yakju and takju and mysid but not for my phone. If I could have a helping hand it would be appreciated
Thanks in advance

Thanks. But I checked it before. All bootloaders are good except the primekk14 . and efrant put a DL of one he has not tested. Thanks tho
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Jw Did you test the one on the last page?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
No. Worried cause of no dev tested as of yet. Efrant said could brick he didn't test it. I think its OK kk15 apparently is yakjuux as well now
