hmm.. what is easiest way to install custom recovery or root?
its look like "harder" than galaxy s4 rooting
Or flash the factory image. That way it stays completely stock.

I use WugFresh's "Nexus Root Toolkit" myself. I have 6 different Nexus devices, including (but not limited to) Nexus 7 (both variants), Nexus 5, Galaxy Nexus, and Nexus 4. WugFresh's toolkit handles them all like a champ.
Toolkits are nice but fastboot is better

Is there a stock rooted imm76i rom with no modifications or tweaks anywhere? I haven't seen one that's simply stock and rooted. Any help would be appreciated

Download the stock images. Flash them. Root the phone....

Yeah, I know I could do that. Just simpler to have a rom that I can just flash, so I was asking if one existed.

No, its really simpler to do it the previous way. You'd be done by now if you just did it on your own. Take you 15min tops.
What about this?

Reading through the forums before asking would be a good start. There are so many helpful topics on the device and how to unlock/root/upgrade the OS. If a n00b like me could figure out how to get from 4.0.1 yakjuux to 4.1.1 from reading on XDA then anyone can. Good luck.

well what i am confused about that there is soooo many roms and radios to choose from and its a little overwhelming because i had not had this many choices since i had a Samsung Epic, and since then i came from phones that pretty much had 1 or 2 roms the stratosphere and droid 4. and i kinda forgot about all the flashing and stuff. does this phone use odin to do it's flashing? i tried google and it says the verizon copy of this phone has a locked bootloader but there is a way to unlock it.
i just want a rom that has a clean,Fast,Jellybean,with root and no bloatware and good radio. something that i can edit the boot animations easy.
i was looking at the Vicious Toro rom and that looks like the best for me, i was also looking at that Gnex toolkit v7.4 is that what i use to unlock the bootloader and flash roms?

That's the program you need to do everything. First change firmware to stock takju then download jb and cwm flash

Use bigxies it's just aosp jb but rooted and deodexed. Also leave the toolkits to the noobs, better to do it manually - fastboot oem unlock, etc.

Can't flash takju or yakju (which are for the GSM Nexus) on a CDMA Nexus. And there is no official JB update for the CDMA Nexus yet, so he'll need a custom ROM if he doesn't want to wait.

yea i was a little confused on that part because i was thinking this was the toro and those were the GSM devices. i just wanna know what is the easy way to go from Stock 4.04 to the Vicious JB rom with root and unlocked bootloader.
i guess what is getting to me is that there is just so much stuff other there and so many ways to root and flash stuff and i was soo hooked with Odin and then i had to go to the motorola Side of things and did not enjoy that at all. but it has been way more then a year since i last flashed roms and stuff like that
also i noticed there is tons of kernels to use as well with the vicious rom.the faux one looks the best as it has a OC with it

it seems XDA should of gave CDMA and GSM devices there own General forum lol i could of been flashing GSM stuff for all i know
but i think i got everything down for when my phone comes tomorrow. been studying the toolkit and reading about how to flash roms through CWM app and kernels
should i just leave the radio alone or is there a better copy?
You'll find this phone easy to root and flash Roms on. Not easy to brick. Try all the roms . That's the great thing about the nexus, so much to choose from.

So I have been really wanting to run MIUI but but I'm on 4.2.2. I would greatly appreciate if someone could educate me on downgrading to 4.1.2 but with the ability to go back to 4.2.2 with no problem. Thanks in advance.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
What are you running now? Stock? Are you unlocked and have a custom recovery? If so, just make a backup of your current Rom, give MIUI a shot, and if you don't like it, restore your backup.
If you are still on stock, you need to unlock and install a custom recovery. This will delete what you have on your phone, so backup any pictures, texts, etc. There is a guide in the forum. I'll paste it in another post.
Good luck.
Am I missing anything guys?

I think it's easier to use adb than a toolkit. Plus, you'll learn a ton of information that will help you when you get another phone, want to help a friend, accidentally flash the wrong file, etc...

So far, I can't find any ROM for these. I just got my Tab 3 7.0 from AT&T and it's loaded with bloatware and to be honest, I really don't like the stock OS. Is there a way I can get Cyanogenmod or stock jellybean with gapps?

If you have the At&t version, the bootloader is locked. You most likely will never have custom roms.
