Although why you would want to root and not do anything else is a mystery.
Did you mean to say what can you do besides root? In that case, we would need to know what model of phone you have in order to polnt you in the right direction.

I've used Flashtool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351299
And used the specific menu command to use zergRush.
Remember you need to enable USB debugging in Aplications>Development

Didn't I already answer this? Use superoneclick its easy. Rooting is easy. But why just root when you can do so much more

Even I had the same questions..
I'm on an R800i ..
Android: 2.3.4
Build: 4.0.2.A.0.62
I just got the phone this week, so I'll be happy with the stock rom for a few months..
All I wanna do is root it, so I can remove the bloatware..
(If possible, without having to unlock the bootloader for now)
My last phone was the LG P500 .. and all I needed to root that was run the gingerbreak apk.
Any chance of that working here?
Also, there is a sticky in the dev section for how to root, but that now redirects to a page [WIP] ClockworkMod Recovery - FreeXperia page..
So really confused..
Do I install CWM and then flash that file for rooting?
(is it possible to install cwm without rooting?)
Or do I root it using some other method, and then flash CWM using what that thread says?
Uber confused..

it is not possible to root Rombuild .62 you need to downgrade your rom to.40

dang..
and for downgrading I'd have to use flashtool, right?
wouldn't that format the phone as well?

First you root then u install the clockworkmod recovery. Superoneclick worked for me or use flashtool.

You can't update without root until you get it OTA, but you can flash the full ROM. See the "flash" link in my signature.

Well is your GN yakju or takju?
If its either then hitting system update will prompt you the OTA.
You can also try the clearing Google Service Framework and hitting the System Update.

well you're not rooting... so technically, you never have to have root to update to JB.

Yeah, to flash the full images, you don't need root, but you need an unlocked bootloader.
But I was talking about updating, not re-flashing a ROM: if you want to "update" your existing build to JB, you either need to get it OTA, or download it and move it to /cache (root required), or apply it via CWM (either root or an unlocked bootloader required).

technically it depends what version of GN is he using...shouldn't be a problem if he's on yakju or takju...

Well for one is it American or European? GSM or CDMA? Buy it off the Play Store?
If it's CDMA you would have to unlock and use custom recovery to install 4.1, but it would be very simple to do and there are completely stock 4.1 builds that work flawlessly.

[Q] Re-root

When I updated from 4.2.1 to 4.2.2 on my GNEX it wiped/lost my root. I want to re-root with Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit which I used before. Is there special/different steps to re-rooting a phone or do I just start from the beginning?

That depends on what's the beginning to you.

What I lost was my "root privileges", Files that I disabled are still disabled. The root process is not working. It looks like most of the root files are still there. What I would like to know is how to get my root privileges back. Do I do a do-over from the beginning or just do a part of the procedure?
