The Easy Rooting Toolkit is a batch program for Windows which is realy simple to use. Simply unzip the download (DooMLoRD_Easy-Rooting-Toolkit_v14_perf-event-exploit.zip) ZIP file that is in the link below and open “runme.bat” to follow the on screen instructions.
There has also been talk that this same toolkit was able to root the LG Nexus 4 and LG Optimus G which I can’t vouch for myself.
