I am getting a Galaxy Nexus tomorrow in a trade. My S3 for a Galaxy Nexus 32GB plus $90 cash. It's the Verizon i515 model. I was thinking about rooting it when I got it. I also have some questions about it, though.
1) I heard from a friend that has the Galaxy Nexus Sprint model, and he said I have to unlock the phone before rooting it.
We are getting ever so close now. According to a recent tweet, Verizon is gearing up to push out the 4.0.4 update to the Galaxy Nexus at any time now.
Could the Verizon Galaxy Nexus finally be getting its Jelly Bean update?
Hello All,
I'm new to Android rooting (but am an experienced iOS jailbreaker).
I got a Samsung Galaxy S3 (Verizon) yesterday which got the over-the-air update to 4.1.1. (Jelly Bean).
I'm a Mac user and found this guide to rooting the S3 on OSX: How to Root Galaxy S3 on Mac OSX!
It's been a while since I posted anything here. . .
While I'm a bit late to the rooting bandwagon with the GNex, I am glad to finally be able to root my beloved phone.
I'm currently in the process of backing up all the data that is in my GNex's virtual SD card, and saving it on my computer, because I plan on unlocking the phone and rooting it tonight.
When is a Nexus not a Nexus? When you buy it from Verizon, evidently. It’s long been a gripe of Verizon Nexus owners that their pride and joy often receives the latest and greatest Android update months after the GSM variant.
After a couple of false starts (here and here), Verizon has finally updated the status of the Android 4.0.4 OTA update for their Galaxy Nexus to “coming soon”. The support page states that the update is indeed imminent and contains links to install instructions.
Had a look on the forum cant find 100% confirmation hope you guys can help...
1) i have GT-I9100 running 2.3.5 and am looking to root can anyone link me to a good page/site, getting confused with the world wide web!
2) i have doubletwist paid version, will this be lost when i root? and what should i do before rooting...
3) Not overly fussed but can i get ICS on this after rooting?
Verizon’s Samsung Galaxy Nexus is now priced at $99 with a 2-year contract, which means it will probably get discontinued soon. The biggest sin is the full retail price still remains the same at $649. It’s still a great phone and you can’t beat the price for those that want to get the stock Android experience.
Will you be getting the Galaxy Nexus now that it’s only $99?
