02. Install CWM Recovery and Root Phone
Start here if bootloader unlocked...
pacman -Sv mtpfs yaourt go-mtpfs-git
You may have to remove reference to go.sh out of the PKGBUILD(I did at the time)
sudo go-mtpfs /media/temp
Copy UPDATE-SuperUS-v1.65.zip to a dir on the phone (or newer)
cp UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.65.zip /your/dest/ sudo fusermount -u /media/temp sudo adb reboot bootloader
Then flash latest recovery
sudo fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.5-hammerhead.img
- Tab to recovery mode
- Install Zip
- Navigate and Select
- When the installation is completed, go to '+++++Go Back' and reboot the phone by selecting reboot system now from Recovery menu
- Sure, reroot phone....
- Open SuperSU to see if installed right.

- You may want to try the ODIN installer for your nexus as it is easier to just root. I just wanted to install the recovery also. Look at the Chainfire site for it. http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/
