All the files are up on my github and available for anyone to look on and improve or even continue in case i stop :P. i know there is already a few toolkits over here but i figured since ive got the galaxy nexus i might as well post mine here since i added gnexus support to my nexus s 4g one almost a year ago.

since the best way to root a nexus device is via flashing recovery and then obtaining root that way rather than using an exploit that doesnt unlock your bootloader, or relying on a pre-rooted kernel which works great assuming no one ever updates ;P. some people have a hard time with rooting the nexus, this isnt a true one click but its designed in teh style (i think you need to have maybe 4-5 actions on your behalf besides pressing enter/space :P). so before questions begin, yes it will work on all firmware versions even key lime pie and beyond.. its just the nature of nexus devices

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Changelog:

With this new system all i need to do is add in the coresponding recoveries on my website (shabbypenguin.com) and your nexus device gains support
(due to this new system the gsm galaxy nexus may face issues added in wget due to there being 5 different variants..)

apparently broke unlocking section :/


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Planned features for future versions will include:
EFS backup and restore for GSM

Download: Click Here
unlocking the bootloader appears to be busted, when i gain access to another nexus device ill work on fixing it. flashing recovery and rooting still works as intended

Great news everybody! this is all up on my github now you can track changes between versions and even suggest better ways of doing things.

I just wanted to know if after I download the root app on my computer if I need to have internet access to run the root. My buddy wants me to do this on his phone at work but I do not have internet there.

got my drivers and everything installed. the script runs, opens up the bootloader and asks me to select unlock and press power. . . but there's no unlock option, just reboot bootloader, recovery, reboot and power off. am i doing this right?

I had a huge problem with this script/app.

The undo process run on a Nexus S seems to have tricked my NS into being a NS4G. I really could use help from ANYONE who can, especially OP.

Just want to make sure that this will work on the new gwk74 software version, not sure if the software has anything to do with the rooy, i am going to attempt this sometime this weekend. also if i need to un-root it to get sprint to service it will this do it?
