Want to gain root access on your Galaxy Nexus. Here is a quick guide to help your root your Ice Cream Sandwich smartphone using ADB aka Android Debug Bridge. As ADB is available for all major platforms like Windows, Mac and Linux, Rooting Galaxy Nexus is possible on any PC running any of these three platforms.

If you don’t already have ADB on your mac or Windows PC, then check out the tutorial for Windows Here and for Mac here.

After you have setup ADB, you will need to download two files to complete the process.


STEP 1: Extract both the RAR files that you have just downloaded.

STEP 4: Install Driver from the Galaxy Nexus Manual Root folder. File name is Samsung_USB_Driver_for_Moblie_Phones_v1_4_6_0.exe
STEP 4: Connect Galaxy Nexus to your computer via the microUSB cable and check if ADB is working properly by running adb devices in the terminal or command line. If it shows Galaxy Nexus, then you are good to go to next steps, else properly install ADB.
STEP 4: Turn off your Galaxy Nexus
STEP 5: Turn on your Galaxy Nexus in Bootloader mode [How to do that – Press 'volume up' and 'volume down' and ‘power button’ at the same time] [See the image below]

STEP 6: Run the following commands in Windows.
