If anyone can tell me how to pull it, I'll pull and post tomorrow.

That is a link to the stock recovery from ITL33d.
I have confirmed it can be flashed in fastboot to get back stock recovery after a failed attempt to load CWM.

What about ITL41D which is the more common retail version? Presumably it would need to be this for warranty purposes?
By the way, there is a post in the GN Developer section about "Insecure Boot.img" - which is a modified ITL41D boot image. According to that thread, modifying one value in that file will make it back to stock again but I cant figure out how to mount it and edit it as Im not a linux guru.
Would any of these help?

Take it will wipe the phone
Just tried Peter Alfonso's but it says theres no android-info.txt in the zip when there is :/
If its just the recovery.img you are after, extract from the zip then do fastboot boot recovery.img to test booting into it. If you are happy it works, you can do fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

These commands wrt recovery.img do not wipe the phone but doing the whole system thing will. Please note someone elsewhere said they got into a bad state using peter alfonsos system.img so beware.

Hi!
I think I may have bricked my phone. I superwiped but I forgot to put a ROM
so now I have nothing on my phone.
Can I flash a ROM from my computer to my phone?
Thx in advance!
Flash a stock image using the Google images, then you can re-flash a custom one
If you still have cwr, mount USB in cwr, put a rom on there, flash from. If you don't have a recovery, you should be able to adb push the recovery file and flash through boot loader, then mount USB in recovery, copy rom to phone, flash.

look at thread that has the odin stock rom
If you're a n00b then why on earth did you unlock the phone in the first place? Surely you should've researched what you were doing in case something like this happened?

all is very easy to fix
1. Change ROM name to rom.zip
adb shell
mount /data
exit
adb push rom.zip /data/media
Now reboot into recovery and flash ROM.
Its all in here

This has helped me out twice already, and its where the factory images will be when the OTAs start, so of you're impatient and want them as soon as you can get them here

Did adb work before? Sounds like the drivers aren't installed properly
And if you are trying to use the images from what I linked earlier you need to be in fastboot not adb

Hi guys I'm trying to get my nexus updated to JB. I am on 4.0.4 rooted using the toolkit. I have flashed stock recovery back to the phone using toolkit. I'm getting the attached error. Any ideas anyone?
Thanks
step 1) STOP USING A TOOLKIT!

Well first of all, I definitely don't recommend you using toolkit. Using it has higher chance of bricking your phone.
It seems like you might have to boot into the clockworkmod recovery and from there, flash the zip. It's faster than the way and also doesn't give you those kind of headache

Hi guys when I say toolkit its the specific gnex toolkit. I thought this was a well received method for rooting - no?
Are you sure you flashed the right stock recovery for your phone?
Ya definitely flashed right stock recovery. It's very easy using the toolkit.

so is fastboot
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
I've used the toolkits and fastboot on 3 different gnex's and not had problems either way. If you fastboot incorrectly as well it's possible to brick your phone right?

well yeah if you fastboot the wrong recovery, but if you typo the command, it errors and wont flash it.
The OTA failed not because of your recovery but because of /system/usr/keylayout/generic.kl not being stock or missing.
You can either find that file and push it back and then run the OTA hoping that's the only file you modified.
Or flash the stock JB image following the link Zepius posted in the 2nd post.
I used this thread to help me update to JB when the OTA wasn't showing up for me (I was impatient).

Nope. Odin yes. Fastboot no.
OP: And as El Daddy said you (or one of your root apps) prob changed something related to your keyboard, so you need to replace that file with the stock one.

Hiya - thanks - I browsed to the location and found a generic.kl.bac file - renamed this rebooted and the OTA went through no problems
Can someone please let me know how to do this. i have search everywhere and no one says anything. they only provide a link but it does not provide step by step nor links to do this. my Gnex is unlocked but not rooted. I would like to go back to stock so that i can update to JB. Thank you in advance.

Well if you're only unlocked, and not rooted, have custom recovery/ROM or anything, you are completely stock. Just unlocked bootloader... OTA has nothing to do with unlocking bootloader. Also root doesn't stop OTAs. Just FYI... Only flashing custom ROM, custom kernel or custom recovery or a change to a system partition stops the OTA.

Ohhh ok... But you're not rooted? Strange...
Anyways, here is the link. Whenever efrant tells you to either "fastboot" or "adb", just put ./ in front of it. That's the command for Mac and Linus

Yes you can use that guide for toroplus (i.e., Sprint) devices as well if you have the images. But since you don't have the userdata image (and therefore you skip that step), you may need to boot CWM and wipe /data and /cache, but only if you experience a bootloop.
So in recovery I have to flash each image? That's the part I don't get.

You cannot flash image files on any recoveries. You need to do those in fastboot mode using command prompt.

That's not at all what I said.
Follow the guide. But for the userdata image (which you don't have), boot into recovery and wipe data.
I finally did it!! If anyone needs help let me know. PM me.

there are very few commands to actually flash back to stock and plenty of stickies/threads about it
Code:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Yep but to flash etc you gotta have the img to flash i was just looking for the zip. I know how to adb stuff. Indeed gnex toolkit is bundled with all recovery or link to recovery.
