Does the Galaxy Nexus leave a trace of the root like the S2 did?

Hi everyone,
I am coming from a Samsung Galaxy S2 and Samsung has put a counter on it for when an unknown firmwares are flashed, so I am just wondering if the Nexus is the same?
Thanks
James

What doesn't work? I've downloaded the firmware from there (Google) and used fastboot to flash it just fine. Do you have the drivers working and fastboot installed? You could always grab Paul O'Brien's superboot, which has a fastboot-windows.exe executable in there.

[Q] How can I get my device to boot? Stuck on LG bootscreen

So I thought myself fairly competent with roms and such as this is my third smartphone and i've never had that many big errors before.
I used the universal root method and FreeGee and used stock with root for a few weeks, was good. Today I downloaded the CM 10.1 unofficial rom and the gapps and did a TWRP backup. I tried to copy it from my phone to my PC and USB HD using both Linux and Windows. Whenever it got to the data part it would error, I couldn't even rename it. As far as I know, this backup may be no good. I did this backup three full times, eventually using just boot, system and data.
I wiped data, system, cache and dalvik. I installed the CM10.1 rom and tried to boot. sticks on the LG boot screen. I can get into the recovery, tried to do the restore, said successful. Still sticks on the boot screen for LG.
Did I miss some step? At this point I'd be glad going back to stock.

Can you boot to download mode?

I'm not sure where that is. Can you provide a link? Also I can get into Recovery/twrp. I am frustrated that CM won't install for me. I checked my TWRP backup folder, there is just data and system, and I need boot to restore that, right? So frustrated that the backup is bunk and CM won't install properly. I can't find any clear instructions on the process anywhere on the forums. Just wipe, install CM and then boot, right?

Thank you SO MUCH! I have been looking all day for a viable option and this is the first thing that has looked good so far. You're an angel! Or a secular hero figure, if that floats your boat. Either way, you rock!

Software Update

anyone else get the prompt to update the software? are you going to update?

Got it and did it 2 days ago

Same and same

probably too early to know, does anyone know if this update will affect root? coming from htc, i remember updates were frowned upon as they can make rooting more difficult.

below is the link I used. The battery drain is bad but manageable. I think it puts the wrong recovery on the phone, but it does root the phone. I was able to use titanium again :highfive:

Problem after restore

Hello I have a problem after a restore from backup if the stock rom when I enter the unlock me wrong sequence can be solved?

Did you backup your system without removing the sequence?

That's the problem, in order for a restore to work you would have had to back it up without any secure lock screen. I'll look around if there's a method of fixing it but I don't think there is.
