Not gonna happen right now. You'll just have to wait. The G2 isn't the easiest thing in the world to root in the first place, so its going to take a little time.
If you're ancy, just downgrade, and flash a pre-rooted stock OTA build.

Theres a way to root it already out for a while. Search cause that's what I used

I downloaded the rooted zip, did a backup, wiped and flashed. Couldn't have been easier.

How come I can update android 1.0 driver I installed the Samsung drivers
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

I was able to unlock, root using this method and install superuser but none of the recoveries will stick. I have tried TWRP, Clockwork regular and touch and they will work once and then if I try to go back I just get the dead android guy? Is this a 4.0.4 problem?
Edit- I found the solution. I renamed the /system/recovery-from-boot.p to /system/recovery-from-boot.p-bak with root explorer and it fixed it.

I had the same problem and open the one click root script and found this line
adb shell mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.k-lined.sh
It worked for me.

If you use the forums search function you will find many instances where people ran across the same thing for many different reasons. You will need to check (based on what you will find) and see which reason is causing your problem with ADB. It could be anything from a driver issue to out-of-date SDK tools and many other reasons so there is no way to know until you check and trouble shoot.

the de-odex thread talks about at&t. will this work on other carriers?
Rogers in particular?

[Q] Which ROM?

Hey, I'm new here and sorry for my bad English.
I want to Root my nexus 4 and as i have never used any ROM's, I want to ask couple questions.
Which ROM should i use?
I need a simple one because i don't need a fancy one because i wont use all of it features and stuff. I just need it to use couple programs that requires Rooted Phone.
So which ROM to use that wont kill my battery fast?
also someone told me that some ROM's keep nattery life bettet then non touched phone. Is that true?
Thanks in advance for your Help.

Cm10 would be a good one to start out with. Its very popular and quick and snappy. Used on many devices.

Ok any more suggestions??
does root affect somehow on the battery life? does it make it better or worse?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

If you want to improve your device's battery life, then you should flash a custom kernel FIRST instead of choosing a custom rom

I prefer AOKP based ROMs with cherry picked CM features.
I don't like the battery icon options for AOKP though as CM percent Icon looks much nicer.

Try carbon. Carbon has the most amount of customizations with picks from cm aokp and has halo in the unofficial builds.

Simply rooting a device doesn't affect battery life. Rooting allows administrative rights to the device. That's it.

You don't need a kernel or ROM to root your phone. Most ROMs come with root. You need an unlocked boot loader and a custom recovery to root.

First you install adb platform-tools, unlock the bootloader and then inject superSU (root). Best way to unlock and root is to use CF-Auto Root imo, link http://download.chainfire.eu/297/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-mako-occam-nexus4.zip. Tutorial by efrant http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010312&highlight=efrant.
Read up first about adb, rooting, kernels and custom roms before you kill your phone. Stock isn`t bad at all and learn about your phone .

[Q] Nexus 4 Rom And Google Updates.

Hello guys!
This is my first post here so I'm sorry if this is not the place to ask.
I'm interested to Root and put Rom on my Nexus 4.
My question is, it is possible to have Root and Rom on Nexus 4 and still get Google updates.
Hope for an answer soon , Thanks in advance.

Not if you use a custom Rom. You would have to go back to stock to receive the update, or wait for the Rom developer to incorporate the update.

Couldn't you just use voodoo root keeper?
