I've been on the net all day searching on how to root my VZW GNex, and I can't. Does anyone have the ability to give me EVERY STEP, from BEGINNING to END, on how to root my phone? I use the IMM76K version. I feel about as ed as one can be, not to mention I've wasted an entire Sunday on nonsense......
I'd like something current and with no bugs, preferrably. Many thanks to whomever can help me.
All of the guides we have should be applicable; did you read through them? There's even discussion in one of them regarding the new 4.0.4 Superuser.
Wug's should have worked, and I really have no idea what it didn't. The only possible thing I can think of is (1) configuration errors, or (2) miscommunication.
Here's CyberWarrior's EPIC Step-by-Step guide WITH pictures:

The only hangup I can see is the requirement of having a new superuser.zip, which is found all over this place--check the MAC METHOD guide (the last few pages) for that. Zero neck walked a colleague through rooting and adapting that guide to 4.0.4.
Again, the simplest method will be Wug's. Remember, with that you need to:
- Install and configure the drivers
- Make sure you're doing this for CDMA and NOT GSM GNexus
- Hit Unlock, follow the instructions on the screen
- Hit Root, follow the instructions on the screen
It's considered a "one click" method; you click a button, maybe click a couple more, and within minutes you are rooted.
