Confused by the stuff above?

Wugfresh Nexus Root Toolkit is seriously a lifesaver for backing up, unlocking and rooting for someone like me who has not rooted a phone in over 2 years and has no idea what he is doing. I was about to walk away from the idea of rooting but my mostly android clueless ass was able to follow his instructions and app very easily.Hope this helps someone out there!Just putting it out there in hopes that more people use it!

when i run ‘adb reboot bootloader’ it gives error: device not found. My phone is connected as media device and the drivers are updated and show up as Galaxy Nexus in the other drop down under Device Manager. I don’t see Android 1.0 though, but I think that’s the driver thing I already have as Galaxy Nexus. Please help

So glad I scrolled down all the way through this post before going through the steps. Your tip saved me from what would probably be hours of head hitting off my desk. Great tip @twitter-15596546:disqus

Hey for ppl having problem w/ android 1.0 and/or adb. What you can do is install the drivers for the samsung galaxy (ie i897,i9000). I had the galaxy and when I plugged in my nexus, it already worked with those drivers

Is there a way to save all my apps before I do this? Or am I doomed to buy them all over again?

Richard Melcher post was the solution for me with the same issue.

This took me hours to figure out, finally found a fix on XDA’s site.

After i unlocked the bootloader and started the phone all my apps said error when then tried to reinstall so i went to market and tried again and it said error? so i did a factory reset and it seems to be working just fine now. so if this happens dont worry a factory reset should fix it

Awesome, worked like a charm.After trying for a few hours off my mac I finally moved to a PC. and of course followed all of the instructions and BAM. Boot loader is unlocked and I couldn’t be happier.
