Galaxy Nexus: Root & ClockWorkMod Recovery


Turn on USB debugging. Attach the phone to the computer.
‎./adb devices [just to make sure it's recognized]
‎./adb reboot bootloader [to get to the bootloader]
./fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.5.0.4-toro.img
Press volume down till you get the "recovery mode" option, and press Power to select recovery. [reboots into CWM]
Select install zip from sdcard
Select "choose zip from sdcard"

Select the su.zip

Back on the computer, in konsole:
./adb shell
then run:
>mount -o rw,remount /system
>mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.bak
(This part didn't work for me: "mv: can't rename '/system/etc/install-recovery.sh': No such file or directory"
>exit [to leave the adb shell]

So, either use root explorer to rename it if it shows up, or use ROM Manager to reinstall CWM.

Then reboot.
Mostly simplicity.
