Google’s Nexus 4 handset sold out within an hours and shipments have been trickling out. Some of those early birds who received their Nexus 4 are toying with the device and some have already figured out how to root it. It’s not surprising as the Nexus 4 is a developer edition handset, which means it should be relatively easy to root.

HQRaja posted a rooting method and instructions on how to install ClockwordMod over on Addictive Tips and Xda-Developers. Nexus 4 owners who are comfortable with ADB and installing ROMs should have no problems with his rooting method.
