Can anyone point me in the right direction? I'm trying to figure out how to root my 32g sprint galaxy nexus SPH-L700. Just looking for a guide I can't find one anywhere. Thanks in advance.

wait
waiting for the solution ...
Flash custom recovery via fasrboot and then flash latest supersu via recovery.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
A little more direction than that please? Maybe a link to a walkthrough? Last time I had to flash a custom recovery it wouldn't root properly. I would rather have a walkthrough than brickb my phone.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
The galaxy nexus is very hard to brick..
1. Download a custom recovery from the clockworkmod site.
2. Boot into fastboot and type: fastboot flash recovery the-name-of-the-recovery-you-just-downloaded.img (for this to work you need to paste the downloaded recovery.img into the fastboot folder)
3. Boot into recovery and select "install zip from sd card" (assuming you already downloaded the lastest supersu.zip)
4. Flash the latest supersu and wipe both cache and dalvik cache.
5. Reboot and enjoy.

adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
fastboot oem unlock

then download SU from here

Use the fastboot radio XXLA2 zip from xda an not cwm radio zip an do it that way.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
i'm going to use the radio image that i've downloaded from official google roms
1. Download the your choice of radio for the Galaxy Nexus (GSM). 2. Place the radio image file in the same location as the SDK's platform-tools directory. 3. Power off the Galaxy Nexus. 4. Boot the Galaxy Nexus into bootloader mode by holding Volume Up, Volume Down, and the Power buttons until booted. 5. On the computer, open the terminal and navigate to the directory with the radio image and run:
fastboot flash radio radio.img
6. Reboot the device.
If that radio version doesn't work out I would suggest using cwm nextime might save you a lot of time as I know I change radios often.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Thanks !
i'll update that radio today and report back
You could probably just use terminal emulator or better terminal app on your gnex to do that command.

Hey XDA members.
Can anyone explain how I flash the Recovery using fastboot???
That is what is instructed to get it in.
Here is the link:
http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
It has all the recoveries made by koush.
Touch & Button version.
Code:
Fastboot flash recovery name-of-recovery.img
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Install fastboot/fastboot drivers, then.
Download the recovery file you want and put it in the fastboot folder.
1. turn phone off
2. press and hold both volume up and down button then press and hold power, this will take the phone to bootloader
3. type: fastboot flash recovery recoveryfilenamehere.img
4. press the volume up or down button to select RECOVERY MODE, press power to select, and there you go, you're in cwm.

Obviously you don't know what you're doing, I suggest not screwing with your phone, we don't want another thread asking how to fix another person's phone cuz they "bricked" it.

Could I use Wug's Toolkit "Flash(permanent) Recovery" option to get it on my phone???
Just asking. Sorry if this somehow offends anyone.

You probably shouldn't be flashing recoveries if you don't know what you're doing. Learn by reading. The method for flashing recoveries hasn't changed since the Nexus One came out 2.5 years ago.

I did not make this, just passing it along. Link is to a flashable zip for 6.000alpha; it worked for me coming from previous version. Much easier then fastboot... Just move to root of your SD card and flash, no wipe necessary.

if you cant type fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.2-toro.img there is no hope for you.
I wiped the sd card like a retard... and now don't have a rom to flash.
What do?
I can't find how to mount the sd card.
You have to adb push the Rom to your phone. Hopefully you have the android sdk installed, a quick Google search will provide you with instructions on how to push the file

It looks like you can use the GNex Toolkit to flash stock rom from fastboot mode (option 9).

Are you getting payed or something man?
Why are you suggesting a toolkit, which will then use fastboot, to reflash a whole rom, a stock rom at that, when he has access to a custom recovery, thus he can get himself out of this mess and learn a thing or two about adb (adb can do more than just a simple copy operation).

So i was about to flash the Cyanogen 10.1 ROM on to my phone when i accidentally wiped the system files off my phone. So i went to reboot and it said there was no OS installed on my phone and that SuperSU wasn't installed. When i try to boot it up it just sits at the google screen with the padlock icon at the bottom. If it makes a difference used TWRP (team win recovery project). I don't have a backup on my phone and i don't know what to do. I seriously need help guys. I'm desperate.... :crying::crying::crying:
Just flash stock
Push custom rom to sdcard via adb in recovery mode.
Or
Flash stock images
