Samsung Galaxy Nexus Pwned Using ‘Superboot’
The new Samsung Galaxy Nexus from the UK has been already rooted on the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Talk related to fast! It appears that the makers over at the MoDaCo have become swift on their foot gaining this task taken care and so you can entirely enjoy each nook and the cranny of the new gadget by using the Superboot they have.
The thing which is better is the fact that these people have made this very easy and so it is completely fool-proof. Now, it is not necessary for messing with ADB or making the funky partitions or even making or changing manually the system files or folders. Yet, it helps to keep your factory ROM settings and it does not make anything over-write. No matter what the process is being done, you will be given the whole root access in addition to the Superuser application which is being installed on your device.
Process
The process which it adopts is something like this: While the process is going on, the mobile will boot with the help of a boot image that controls all the modifications. The process is discussed here how, this can be done:
- The first step is that Superboot install package should be downloaded by heading over to the post at the MoDaCo.
- The second step is that the zip file should be extracted to a directory, (we suggest 7-zip for doing this) the best directory for placing the unzipped file is your desktop as it is very easy to access.
- The third step is that you should put your device into a bootloader mode by turning off your Galaxy Nexus entirely and you should power it back on when holding the Volume up plus Volume Down key at one time. You will be greeted with a window when you are in bootloader mood as displyed under:
Now double click the install-superboot option, bat file that is all.
Required Files
You will require for running terminal and executing from the directory location the following on Mac:
Chmod +x install-superboot-mac.sh
./install-superboot-mac.sh
You will require running the terminal from tae directory which contains the files you have unzipped and you will also need to punch in the following lines on the Linux.
Chmod +x install-superboot-linux.sh
./install-superboot-linux.sh
If the above mentioned steps are performed correctly, you will gain all the root access to your Galaxy Nexus and you are permitted for installing the apps which are prohibited by the Google to be executed.
