There is so much information in the unlock/clockwork recovery/root stickies I can't see the forest for the tree

Where are JUST the instructions for rooting the Nexus? I already have the bootloader unlocked and want to root it now. This is more involved than on the X

Thanks!

 

Thanks Scary Alien!

There is just so much information in that other thread it all runs together.

 

After reading back through the thread again, I finally found it. I got my phone rooted now, now just like putting clockwork on there. This is what I was trying to find:

Instructions (also see the instruction threads above)

A. download the Superboot zip file (r3-galaxynexus-superboot.zip) above and extract to a directory

B. boot your phone into fastboot mode (press and hold both the volume-UP and volume-DOWN buttons and then press the power button)

C. choose your installation platform to run the installation script:

- Windows:

+ double click the install-superboot-windows.bat file

- Mac:

+ open a Terminal window to the directory containing the files
+ type chmod +x install-superboot-mac.sh
+ type ./install-superboot-mac.sh

- Linux:

+ open a Terminal window to the directory containing the files
+ type chmod +x install-superboot-linux.sh
+ type ./install-superboot-linux.sh

Note for VZW LTE Galaxy Nexus phones: it appears that the boot.superboot.img file, when used on the VZW LTE Galaxy Nexus, might hang (it did for me, but not for others; I suspect I just didn't wait long enough) and not finish booting. It will, however, get the root apps (su / Superuser.apk) installed and root your phone. You'll just need to do a battery-pull and restart after waiting a few minutes after executing the above installation scripts.

 

Yeah, I think I missed hitting one of those "SHOW" buttons, thus why I didn't see it on my other 1,000 times of looking...

I am now unlocked, rooted, and have clockwork installed.
