[EASIEST ROOT/UNLOCK TOOLKIT] Wugfresh Galaxy Nexus Root Toolkit v1.4

I have some questions:
I installed every driver trough the Full Driver Installation Guide, is it necessary for the "Reboot Device" button to work?
My Galaxy Nexus is listed as fastboot device, but it only restarts when I'm pressing the power button alternatively.
I read somewhere that the Galaxy Nexus is nearly unbrickable, so are my chances to open the bootloader and root it like 99%?

No, you need to backup your sdcard to the computer, and I highly recommend syncing your contacts with your Google account.
The backup feature will backup your apps so you don't have to download them all again after unlocking the bootloader

so it will still backup my games but not my media,messages and contacts...am i right?
Pictures, videos and other stuff has to be copied on your PC, the backup saves all Apps as far as I know. Messages can be backed up with SMS Backup & Restore and your contacts can be synchronized with Google. Just go to your contacts -> menu button -> accounts -> Google and just check if your contacts are marked and synchronized. If you want to be safe just mark, demark and mark your contacts and they sould be at least now synchronized to the Google servers
Hi,
I've been trying to root in different ways my GN without success for over a week. It's an Unlocked GSM GN. Android 4.0.4 Build number IMM76I, Bootloader version - PRIMELA03
I did research on my problems but every solution is for a GN that is rooted already.
To start with when I turned it on about 2 weeks ago for the first time I got an OTA update and updated. When it restarted I had the open android laying on it's back with an exclamation mark. I restarted and all fine.
Since it's already unlocked I skipped the unlock step.
When I choose Root the GN shows on boot mode a "FASTBOOT STATUS - FAILInvalid command" then when it restarts normally (because either it stayed too long on fastboot or manually) I get the following:
Then again goes into fastboot mode an I get
At the end no root obviously.
I though maybe I should start "unlocking" it. Still no go. I get a "FASTBOOT STATUS - FAILAlready Unlocked"
So, any ideas?

My suggestion would be a fresh wipe to stock and then starting over. Make sure you have proper drivers installed and you should be set.

I have a Gnex fresh from the Play store (got it hours before the temp. sales ban) and am trying to use the toolkit here. When I get to the Full Driver Installation Guide and select Automatic the cmd windows opens briefly and reports:
'pnputil' not recognized as an external or internal command, operable program, etc...
Manual installation of drivers also fails.
I'm on Windows 7. Play store Gnex w/4.04
Thanks!

I've installed stock jellybean JRN84D and lost root, SU etc. Can I use this toolkit to root and install CWM?
Yes you can. Change your device to 'custom' and you can root it just fine. Or temporarily flash CWM and install a superSU fix. I tried the latter and it worked for me.

So im trying to use this and i just finished step 7 of the driver setup up. Im in boot loader and in device manager my device is listed as SAMSUNG Android ADB interface. However now on to step 8 and the phone will not reboot to bootloader while in bootloader.
List fast boot device works and I see my device.
Edit:
I unplugged my phone from USB and plugged it back in now I have a little error on the bottom right, fastboot command read error -2147483647. I did a search and it said to try a different USB port, i did same thing, I can not get my phone to reboot while in bootloader.
Do i still proceed or did i screw something up.

How is this not in the stickies?
This is truely great. I was reading all of the stickied posts and all the links in those posts (the ones that work) and was getting quite frustrated with the info there. Luckily i found this. Soooo easy to use. This is what everyone should be using. The only tricky part is setting up drivers, but it's still easier than doing it manually.
thanks a lot :good: :good: :good: :good: :good:
(yes i know theres a thanks button)

Yeah. I should have pushed an update with that a long time ago.
This version will have no problem rooting any version of android.

Depends how slow your computer is. How much ram/processing power do you have.
You could skip that and just follow the manual instructions.
