Galaxy Nexus Root ToolKit: One-Click Unlock Bootloader, Unroots & Relocks Too!

[dgstorm]

One of our own, over in the GalaxyNexusForums sister-site, has created an amazing tool for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. The tool is called, "Wug's Galaxy Nexus Root Toolkit," and was created by developer, WugFresh. It has a slew of amazing one-click features for those who want to play around with unlocking the bootloader or rooting the Galaxy Nexus. This utility can unlock the bootloader and root your device, or take you back to factory stock, with a single click of the “Unlock + Root” or “Unroot + OEM Lock” functions. You can even install the latest Samsung drivers and SDK with a single click. Nice work, WugFresh!

You can check out detailed installation instructions and get the download link at the source link below.

Awesome an easy solution to root/unlock. I'd test it out but don't feel like going back to stock

S W E E T !

I'm still trying to see if I can use my device for a while without rooting. It's already fast, so no need there. When I rooted my OG Droid, sure I could overclock, but other problems came about. There were always side effects for rooting. The newest ROM had cool features, but something was always broken. ICS is beautiful. My dualcore processor works very nicely. I have sufficient Ram. I can remove permissions from applications so no need to firewall apps. I can backup and restore data using adb.

Still, nice to have this very convenient option. Great find dgstorm.

I think ICS should have included this by default, but no OS is perfect.

Finally, I have been waiting on a one click root. I just don't have the time to manually root my devices anymore. This is much welcomed.
