[How To] Unlock Bootloader & Root Galaxy Nexus

[sbenson]

Everything worked flawlessly. Didn't have to pull battery. It stayed on the Google logo for about 3 minutes, then the screen flashed and went back to the Google logo again, and then the reboot came up normally.

Thanks!

Confirm that you actually have superuser status. Try to update the binary via superuser app. If you have success, you're good to go.

Where do I see that at? I don't see it in settings or anything. I have it checked to go into my notification bar though when it's outdated.

Edit- Found it! It worked, loading screen shot.

Easiest unlocking of a bootloader and root ever. I heard people were having trouble, what troubles are you people having? If you need help just post here.

Unlocking of bootloader worked fine, however the rooting did not. I did fastboot boot boot.img and was stuck at the Google logo . I'm guessing this is because I updated prior to the attempt

Everytime i try to do any fastboot command, be it using ADB or this superboot method the cmd prompt says " < waiting for device >" and nothing ever happens. really getting frustrated at this point

So as of this moment we can unlock the LTE Bootloader, Root and gain SU, but cant go backwards, and dont have a .sbf ro revert back to completely new? Im just trying to get this straight before I pull the trigger.
