Pretty much is. AOSP, uses fastboot, etc. Just different OS version.

I get why though - just wish there was a way...

Great job, used it on my Galaxy Nexus Verizon version 4.0.2 and worked perfectly.

Thanks!

Smile Busy Box

Do you need t install busy box or Install the proper recovery for your device

Please explain.

I am interested in Root and or Super User and i think this is the way to go but not sure about the BB or Recovery.

With this giving you +root+ and no wipe what is need for BB and shouldn't you still be able to restore the phone using factory reset?

Thankx!

You can root with this app without needing to wipe. It will automatically install the Super User. Then you can install Busy Box via the application as well.

You do not need to install a custom recovery if you do not want to. BusyBox is simply tools on the android that let you install more apps that require advanced commands.

Smile Galaxy Nexus 4.0.1 & 4.0.2 -NO WIPE

Thank you!!

If i have the need to un-root my device will this application do that as well?

Also, will i still be able to receive OTA updates this way or will i have to do them manually? I just want to know my optionswith it before i +root+ using this method.

I don't see why you can't get OTA updates but that might kill the root. Meaning the update could stop the root and you would have to either reroot it using this way or using the official method where you first have to unlock the device.

Maybe the developer can shed a bit more light on that part and for un-rooting as well

I bet that GnexRootToolkit.v1.3 will un-root your phone if you use this 1-click method. Just not sure.

You should be fine. Just run the app again after rooting. This works with the 4.0.2 OTA.


If you need to unroot id check out ERD Supercurio's RootKeeper. Great app and it can spoof unrooting .
I ignore PMs with questions that could be answered by searching. If you PM me, I probly won't respond.
