Boot the Samsung Galaxy Nexus in the download mode so it’s ready to connect to the computer and start having files flashed.

Click the PDA or the AP button which you can see the from the Odin user-interface and then browse the desktop of the rooting exploit file with the tar.md5 extension — you see this once you extract the file like you did in the beginning. Do not extract it a second time or else it will not work.

Soon the Odin user-interface will give a pass message and the device will reboot in recovery mode; you know it’s about to do that when it tells you it’s going to reboot in 10 seconds on the device’s display.
Make sure the Galaxy Nexus does reboot in recovery mode or the rooting is not completed and it will not have the SuperSU installed properly.
On the odd chance the device doesn’t reboot in recovery mode you should do that manually by pressing the Volume Up + Home + Power buttons simultaneously during start-up. It only works if the device starts completely off.
