Recovery and Rooting ICS 4.0.3 OTA

I did the following steps to install recovery. Feel free to do this at your own risk.
My thanks to AndroidHero, Vertigo and Shingers5 for Touch recovery and rooting zip files.
1) Unlock Bootloader (if it locked goto htcdev.com site and follow all steps)
2) Download .zip file and Extract recovery_for_1.28.img from the .zip
3) Copy recovery_for_1.28.img to the same folder as fastboot.exe
4) Select usb debugging (settings>develope option)
5) Connect phone with usb cable to pc and select charge only
6) Goto android-sdk folder and then into platform-tools
7) Shift & Right Click and select open command window here
8) type 'adb reboot bootloader' <enter> (without quotes)
9) In the command window type fastboot flash recovery recovery_for_1.28.img
10) type Exit and disconnect phone
11) reboot the phone.
This recovery is touch recovery and seems to be in its crude form but functional.
If you want to root your phone then do the following,
search for this file CWM-SuperSU-v0.88 and copy to the root directory of your phone and flash using zip from sd card option. You will find this file on the last line.
Goto android-sdk folder and then into platform-tools
Shift & Right Click and select open command window here
type adb reboot-bootloader <enter>
Select fastboot
Select Recovery (Using vol down)
Select install zip from sdcard
Select install from zip file
Scroll down to the place where you copied your CWM-SuperSU-v0.88 file and select it
It will do the root
reboot
Download root checker app from play store and check if you are rooted.
This worked for me. Your comment will be highly appreciated, and do not forget to click my Thanks Meter.

Unlocking bootloader will ERASE EVERYTHING.

Step1: go to Settings->About Phone > hit the “Build Number” until you get “You are now a developer”.
Step2: go to Settings->“Developer options and turn ON “USB debugging” .
Step3: Connect the device to computer.
Step4: For Windows,we need to install drivers.

cd Nexus5
adb devices
you should get : 'list of devices attached'
some code and " device"
if you don't get this and instead get offline,then check USB debugging is enabled or not and reconnect the device and install drivers again
in device manager(step4)
Step6: Turn off your Nexus 5.Then hold down Volume Down and Power buttons together for 3 seconds until you see the bootloader menu.
Step7: Connect the cable again and open Device Manager and install drivers again( step 4)

USB cable from Nexus 5 to your computer.
