My "Google/LG Nexus 4" Unlocked smartphone has Android Version 4.3 and Build number JWR66Y.
I believe it may be Rooted, because I can see the "/ Device" folder, which includes subfolders such as, acct, cache, config, ... , system, and vendor -- using "ES File Explorer".
BUT, I could not confirm if it is Rooted with "Android Terminal Emulator" on my phone. It initially showed the "$" prompt, which I understand may mean my phone is Not Rooted. I also understood that if I entered "su" (without the quotes), and the prompt changed to "#", my phone is Rooted; however, the "su" command was not recognised. Same results using "ConnectBot".
I want to have my phone Rooted, so that I can backup everything on my phone using "Titanium Backup".
This is my first Smartphone, so I am a Newbie for Android, Rooting, and Backing Up. I have over 50 years experience using and loving computers (excluding Apple products).
Thanks (in advance) for your help.
