Use the Nexus Root Toolkit to quickly root your Nexus devices, whether you’ve got a Nexus 7, Galaxy Nexus, or even a Nexus S. Rooting allows you to use powerful apps that don’t work in Android’s default sandbox.

We’ve covered rooting Android before, and the method provided didn’t work for many users – it’s hard to give instructions that will work with all the Android devices out there. This method should work perfectly, but only with Nexus devices.

This process will wipe the data from your Nexus device, so you’ll have to back up and restore your data during the process. You’ll also unlock the Nexus device’s bootloader during this process, allowing the installation of custom ROMs.
