Root Any root exploits yet?

[Claghorn]

Anyone tried any of the known root exploits on the Nexus yet? Has Jelly Bean thwarted all of 'em?

There is just something I like better about avoiding the factory reset and bootloader unlock when all I really want is a working su on my tablet .

The I/O devices were rooted within a day or two of them being given out.

I think (this is only my second Nexus) it will be as simple as using ADB to bush su and the root binaries to the device. Being a nexus you don't need an exploit. Really only takes a few seconds if you already have ADB set up. I'll gladly confirm when I get my damn hands on it.

This is my understanding as well. Exploits were needed to get around the device maker/carrier lock downs.

This isn't locked down and should be a piece of cake. You can find the info in the here as a matter of fact.
