How to Root Nexus 4! [Android 4.4.2/4.4.3/4.4.4/5.0][ADB Backup]

Here’s a step-by-step tutorial on how to root your Nexus 4 on Android 4.2.1 or 4.2.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.4.2, 4.4.3, 4.4.4 KitKat, and 5.0 Lollipop. This includes backing up/restoring your settings/apps using ADB backup so you don’t lose everything when unlocking your bootloader.

*IMPORTANT NOTE – For rooting Android 4.3, 4.4, 4.4.2, 4.4.3, 4.4.4, 5.0, the steps are exactly same but use an updated version of SuperSU, link updated on my site, see Step 15.
