ICS 4.0.1 Root Issue.

Modavated · January 30th, 2012, 05:39 PM

I've come up to the step where you:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-crespo.img.

Terminal says:
downloading 'boot.img'... OKAY
booting... OKAY

My Nexus is at the screen with the Google logo and the unlocked symbol at the bottom ..

How long does it stay at this screen for? It seems to be stuck on this screen forever ...

Much appreciated for the help !

is this a GSM or LTE variant?

Also would you mind if i move it to the proper forum?

of course i would not mind! move away.

i'm going to say that it is the GSM variant ..

Cool no worries.

Okay i'll move it to the "all things root" sub forum.

or i've tried a different method:
+ type chmod +x install-superboot-linux.sh
+ type ./install-superboot-linux.sh

although when i punch in the second piece of code, terminal gives me this outcome:

./install-superboot-linux.sh: line 2: ./fastboot-linux: cannot execute binary file

which i am taking as an error.

is there Any way to make this work ?!?

You should have an app named Superuser in your apps
