Go to bixie's jb rom thread, he has there linked a supersu+busybox cwm flashable zip, dl that and copy it to the device. Dl also a non-touch cwm image.
Unlock your bootloader, bla bla follow guides on how to set up/use fastboot, BOOT cwm (not flash it) with 'fastboot boot cwm.img', flash that supersu zip, reboot. Done, you rooted jb, install voodoo root keeper or something, back up root. Thats one way how to root a Nexus. You can even relock your bootloader after you finished customizing.

Use bixie's jb ROM, it is already rooted and works paerfectly.
Download this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392310
It roots in a couple keystrokes, and allows you to do almost anything else you would want to do effortlessly. It's come in handy through many-a-flash for me.

op asked on how to root through fastboot. If he wanted a custom rom or a toolkit, he probably would have gotten it already.

Thank you,
I was trying an older su.zip and it didn't work but the supersu worked just fine.

Hi, I was wondering how to remove and update clockwork recovery. I do not want to un-root my phone, I just want to remove and update clockwork recovery because of an issue.
No need to remove it, just look for an updated version to the one you have and install it.

So I download the newest version from http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager in the "Download Recovery" section then flash it, correct? I can just click PDA in odin and flash, right?

Slight problem, when I get it from the site it comes as .img. However, when I click PDA on odin it does not show the file. How is it that the people who make it give you a file that cannot be opened in odin while a file I get from some random person can?
If you have the ClockworkMod ROM Manager app, it lets you update your recovery to the latest version. Which is still 6.0.1.2 still. Much easier than flashing or anything else.

I might switch. How do you remove CWM though?
Just download GooManager from the play store and open it, I think then you hit the menu key on your phone and hit "install recovery script". It will do everything for you.
I went to TWRP after CWM as well, and will never go back either!

I have done so and now have TWRP in place of CWM. My question is how do I delete all of the files and data associated with CWM in order to free up that space on my memory?
Just delete the "clockworkmod" folder on your sd card and you'll be all good.

For the op:
Instead of using a one click method, please take the time to learn how to do the steps manually. This way if a problem ever arises you will understand what needs to be done to fix it. Once you understand, using one click or tool kits out of lazyness is OK

Good. But, if you (already unlocked) only want to root:
2) download supersu cwm install .zip, push it to /sdcard/;
3) fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img - why? No need. Just boot nameofrecovery.img ('fastboot boot nameofrecovery.img')
4) since you booted the custom recovery, and already have supersu zip on /sdcard/, just flash said .zip

Dear Gentlemen,
Good day.
I am running my Samsung Galaxy Nexus on stock rom.
after upgrading to 4.3, I have lost the root access.
so I have done what I used to do: root via the toolkit.
As a result, I did not get a root access even the SuperSU and Teamwin Recovery were installed successfully.
can you help me please?
Want help?
Lose the toolkit and figure out what it is you need to do to fix it. The answer has already been spelled out 100 thousand times over the last 2 weeks.

THIS METHOD FOR USERS WITH ROOT ONLY
There is now a TWRP supported for the LS980 which can be found here.
http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/197
click the sprint link and download the most current version
Here is the direct link to Sprint TWRP model from TWRP website
http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/g2spr
If you have ZVA firmware installed, please read this thread posted below before proceeding!!!!! You must flash zv7-aboot.img before flashing TWRP recovery since the zva-aboot.img does not allow you to run TWRP recovery. See thread below on the changes in the ZVA firmware.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2627765
Using terminal emulator to flash zv7-aboot.img on your phone
Code:
dd if=/path/to/your/zv7-aboot.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/aboot
Using adb to flash zv7-aboot.img to your phone.
Code:
1. Download the zv7-aboot.img file and place the zv7-aboot.img in the ioroot folder location.
2. Hold shift and right click in a blank area of the ioroot folder on your PC and select "open command window here"
3. Type adb push zv7-aboot.img /sdcard/
4. Type adb shell
(If you do not see a # type su and hit enter so that you see the #)
5. Type dd if=/sdcard/zv7-aboot.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/aboot
Once done with that place the .img or zip file onto your phone.
Once done with that go to the market and install this app on your phone: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.flashify
Then open the app and select recovery image
then browse to where the file is stored ( more than likely its sdcard . . .)
Then hit yep this is correct (if it is)
Done!
This method is for TWRP 2.6.3.2 not for the updated version of TWRP i recommend installing 2.6.3.2 and the using that recovery to install the newest one:
To to that place the openrecovery-twrp2.6.3.3.g2spr.zip on your internal sd
then load up recovery
press the install button
then look for the openrecovery-twrp2.6.3.3.g2spr.zip
swipe to install
ps: to boot into recovery manually press and hold volume down and then power and hold it down both buttons together and it will boot to TWRP
make sure to thank @leroybrute for the flashify idea
ADDITIONALLY when you have done this the very first thing that you NEED to do is go into TWRP and make a nandroid backup of your stock ROM. I have seen so many people lately not doing this and having major problems. This is very important!!!!
Latest official version of TWRP: 2.6.3.3
Please do NOT download and install any other unofficial versions of TWRP since help will be very limited.
As always, I DO NOT TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY for what happens to your phone. Please research and ask questions if you are not sure what you are doing.
Here are the adb and fastboot files you need. Extract this zip file into a folder and put your TWRP recovery image in this folder and follow the tutorial video.
WACOMalt's TWRP flashing method located here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2449670
You will need to download the loki tools which are explained in the tutorial video.
You need to download the Sprint TWRP file here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/g2spr
WACOMalt also posted a tutorial video on how to flash recovery using his method shown here:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449670
You will notice in that post that sprint is not referenced thats because it wasnt available at the time that WACOMalt wrote that post.
Again i didnt develop this method nor have i tested it yet but if you have please post and let others know what you did or what worked for you.

Flashify loaded this in to time successfully for me.
If you use the link posted in the op twrp files are already lokied so you don't need the tools.
http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/197
That is why once rooted you can simply use flashify from the market.
Boom all done!

Today is a hectic day since the Sprint subforum just created and I was just referencing existing threads that other variants have used for rooting and flashing recovery. I didn't even know about the Flashify app so thanks for giving us the heads up. None of us meant to ignore you but please don't take it personally. I didn't follow the Verizon thread too much and obviously I didn't even know about. Any lessons learned or easier methods to do stuff that you are aware of please continue to contribute to the Sprint development.
Since you mentioned it? Do you mind sharing how you got wireless tether to work on the LS980? I can create a new thread for wireless tether and will give credit to you and whoever else contributed to the wireless tether mod for the Sprint version.
