Hey guys I'm trying to root my friends Verizon galaxy nexus and I'm having some problems finding the right way to do it... He is running the newest version 4.2.2 and it seems all guides are outdated.. Can anyone link me to a forum on how to do so? Thanks in advance.

There is a stickies in this forum that are fine.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529058
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26328017&postcount=123 <-- that is in a different sticky (less in depth instructions). Although with that you probably should download a more up to date recovery, but it would get you root with the old recovery.
That said...I recommend letting your friend do the work. That way he/she can learn, and if there is a problem, he/she can possibly fix it. Rather than being stuck without a device until you can get around to potentially fixing it. Especially if you plan on flashing custom ROMs and kernels.

my wife just got her dinc2 back, her first was rooted and all that good stuff but before i could root the new phone and put a custom rom on i realized she was running 2.3.4. It did not come with this software that i know but at some point in the night it updated on its own so my question is this. how do i, if it is even possible yet root the 2.3.4 hboot .98?
2.3.4 can't be rooted yet.

Please search before you post. This has been discussed. This really clogs up the forum.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1298990
i used the methods described there and they do indeed work.
running cyanogenmod 7 on my dinc2 now, It came from verizon with 2.3.4 and hboot 0.98
just follow the directions there (exactly) and you will be set.
I have a Galaxy S3 with AT&T. I tried rooting it with Odin and CF-Root v6.4 and it did not work. Now all the phone shows is, Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again. I can not seem to get in to download mode anymore and Kies does not connect to the phone. Could anyone help me with get this fixed?
Thanks
Cf root is for i9300 (international). So you flashed something from the wrong phone. See post in development thread on how to unbrick from flashing i9300 firmware.

I rooted many phones in my life, I never had problems rooting a phone like this peace of ****!! does any one out there give a much easier link to root this crap?? Im currently on the latest version ics , or is there a way to revert back to GB like most HTC phones do?
Follow the stickied unbricking guide to get back to GB. If you want to return to official ICS use the CWM flashable version.
...and was there really a need for the swearing?
Rooting a phone with a locked bootloader isn't stuff to any n00b. It requires following huge tutorials or aknowlege to do it on their own.
This isn't a samsung galaxy for example.

Hey ladies and gents. Question, is there a definitive guild to root my 4.1.1 GS3? I want to add the stable cyanogenmod and there are various methods of rooting and I'm looking for the most tried and true way.
Thanks for your time and help

Look over the link in my signature. All the methods I used. Cheers
Before you ask to search, I have. It's just that I'm a noob and new to Samsung devices as I previously have owned an HTC device. I've searched the thread for many ways to root but I've found around 3-4 different threads and I don't know which one to go by. Also, since I have the Canadian T989D version, does following a T989 root guide and flashing roms that state T989 differ from T989D? Also, how am I able to flash TWRP as the recovery? Thanks and sorry for my noobiness..
This guide is excellent

Will this work for the T989D version? and can I ask what are modems and where can I find them to flash?

Yes, it will work. The main difference to just root your phone from the T989, is the way to put it in recovery mode.
