Hello to everyone, i need help in rooting my Nexus 4. I have checked some guides out there and they always say to backup my information, they even recommend some apps, however i cant get them working. Is there any easy way to backup your phone before rooting it? and could you please send me a guide on how to root a Nexus 4?

I use titanium to backup, does the job exceptionally well.

I used this guide to root my HTC One. I believe it's a similar procedure.

You first need to unlock the bootloader. He has a tutorial link in the description. 

 

I'm using TWRP as my recovery software and backup.
