[Q] Galaxy Nexus wont let me flash any ROMs or kernels - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I I tried to flash a kernel on my CDMA Galaxy Nexus (yes it the kernel was made for the CDMA version) but all I get is the Google screen. i waited 20 minutes after flashing the kernel but nothing happened. I've unlocked my bootloader, which I can confirm it is unlocked by the unlock symbol at the bottom. I've also rooted the phone and have Superuser installed. I flashed CWM recovery through ROM Manager without a hitch. CAn somebody shed some light on this situation?

Did you wipe data/cache prior to loading the kernel?

You must be on a ROM that supports the kernel that you want. Only 4.0.3 ROM's support the kernels that are out. You'll have to flash your kernel back to what it was or flash a compatible ROM.

[Q] Stock kernel for ATT i927

Hello...anyone have stock kernel for ATT i927? Thanks.
2.3.6 upgrage is only on AT&T i believe..
and only available through OTA...
So if you are an AT & T Customer swtich back to AT&T Stock kernel and ROM and do an upgrade..
I just installed this kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=806478&d=1323125030 and tried the update and it still didn't work. Is this the stock ATT kernel?
I think the problem lies in the recovery image. The update may be relying on the original recovery being intact (not ClockworkMod or any other). Thus, it may not be possible to update without having the original recovery in place. I have CWM recovery and the rooted kernel installed and cannot install the over-the-air updates. When I restart the phone after it's downloaded, my phone reboots into CWM and that's it. Rebooting into the OS afterwards gives me the message that the update failed.
While in recovery, I delved a bit into the filesystem using ADB and saw that the update files are there (this thread has a bit of what I'm talking about), but I don't think CWM knows what to do with them, therefore the update fails.
Are people without CWM having this problem? Furthermore, is there any way to return to the stock recovery if this is, in case, the problem?
Could you not use Odin and remove the CWM? Reflash a kernal without the CWM?

I never installed or used CWM. Is CWM something that gets installed with the rooted ROM? The only app I noticed installed with the rooted ROM was superuser and I deleted it. When I run AVG I still get the warning that my device is rooted, but when I type "su" in the emulator it says denied...is there something else I'm missing? Thanks.
CWM Recovery is what's installed if you have ever followed this guide. It's separate from the kernel and the ROM. On most phones, it's installed from ClockworkMod's ROM Manager, but we have to flash it via Odin. It replaces the stock recovery, but offers more features (such as the ability to flash ROMs from the phone itself, instead of having to use Odin on a PC, as well as allowing for full, or nandroid, backups of the phone).
I am ATT and I updated after I rooted with no problems. Some people reported that the update will fail if you're battery isn't mostly charged.
CWM won't be there unless you specifically installed it.
I would be interested in this too. I have been unable to get the update to go through after having flashed another ROM.

[Q] aeroevan kernel

ON aeroevan's lastest cm9 4-16-2012 is his new kernel in the rom or does it have to be flashed seperately? If so are there any flashing instructions, Thanks
OK Iguess what i really want to know is how to flash a kernel with phone bootloader unlocked but S-ON???
Check the op. It appears to be in it. You may want double check.
If not, boot into recovery, wipe cache, and install zip and reboot.
Sent from my Droid.
Pretty sure you need s-off
ok if i use ext4 recovery can i flash kernel with s-on??
You need s-off to flash a custom recovery
i want to flash a kernel i already have a custom recovery
Just did some digging did you unlock your phone using HTC's unlocking tool or alpharev or downgrade boot loader? Can you flash a different rom other than stock? I'm getting a little lost myself...I thought you needed s-off for custom kernel/rom/recovery. But if you have a custom kernel and running aeros ics you're using the cymod9 kernel so I don't see why not. Make a backup and wipe dalvic & cache before you flash the kernel
i have bootloader unlocked s-on cmr installed and cm7.2. i can install any rom i want it the kernel i'm trying to get to. how can you flash a kernel with adb???no image

Kernel reset problem

Hello,
i've got a problem with my sony arc.
I was on jjhybrid 3.2 and doomkernel, and i had some problem with battery. So i tried to change the kernel with arcknight 3.3. After flashing the kernel with the fastboot command (fastboot boot boot.img) the kernel did not load. It appeared the new "logo" of arcknight kernel (batman) but after trying to boot, the phone did a reboot and then automatically appeared again the doomkernel, and the phone was bricked on the kernel logo. (android wouldn't load).
So i flashed via "flashtool" the original kernel, now the phone works and it does load the stock kernel and android too.
But i still can't change my kernel.
Every time i try, it flash the kernel, the new kernel tries to load, the new logo appeares, the phone reboot automatically, the stock kernel logo appeares again.
Does anybody know which problem it could be?
Thank you and sorry for my english.
Did you check if the kernel was compatible with the rom? if it is do a full re-flash of the ROM and re-flash the kernel
Thank you for reply.
By now, i don't know why, i tried again and it worked.
Now the phone works with new kernel.
Before that, i tried a full refresh of rom and kernel, but it didn't worked. Still the same problem appeared. The kernel was correct.
In practice, now the phone works and i don't know why. I can't comprehend what the problem was. Hope it doesn't happen again!
I suggest a movie: Paranormal phone activity 3.

Help, went from AOSP to Stock rooted

Can someone help, i just used odin to flash the rooted g1 image. Now i am stuck at the "samsung" screen. I just came from other custom roms such as cyanogenmod, aokp, and other touchwiz roms. I am assuming i have a diffrent kernal or diffrent bootloader and thats why I am stuck? How can i fix this?
My process:
I went from cyanogenmod to a touchwiz rom. Decided to go back to stock. Flash using TWRP Bootloader and kernal from the first post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31802808). Then used odin to flash root injected g1 image. Now it hangs at the samsung logo, i cant get into recovery (pretty sure i flash over that), but i can get into download mode.

You might want to try flashing the "UCALH9 Kernel, Modem and TWRP Recovery Tar" from here with Odin. Make sure the "Auto Reboot" switch is not checked in Odin. When the flash is done, disconnect from the computer, pull the battery, then boot into recovery by holding Home and Vol Up and then pressing Power. Hold Home and Vol Up until you see the Samsung logo and some little blue text, then release. If you can get there, do a factory reset, then you should be able to flash the rooted LG1 image with Odin. Or, you can flash LH9 from the same thread or from here by flashing the Bootloader, ROM and Kernel files from the PIECES section (in that order) before rebooting.
Wipe cache and devlik and it will fix your issue. I had the same problem before.
I have an extremely similar problem flashed from cm10 jellybean to stock rom + root and experiencing same issues at the moment i have flashed the stock rom and tried your suggestion "drothenberger" i got an error when flashing your suggestion

I had the same issue a few days ago and ultimately fixed it by doing factory reset, wipe cache, dalvik, etc.. I had forgotten to do it after flashing back to stock. You were probably smarter than me and did those things BUT if you didn't it's usually something simple like I did to fix the problem.
\Hey hunter you prolly figured it out already but I was in the same situation today going from AOKP to stock rooted.. what fixed it for me was after flashing, booting into the stock recovery (HOME + VOL UP + POWER) and doing a wipe data and wipe cache. Then going back to download mode and reflashing the stock rooted tar. not sure if reflashing was necessary but it worked like a charm after that.
well as i wasnt in clockwork i was pushing a stock rom through odin i don't beleive i iclearly the cache that could of helped but nonetheless im stuck and i can't get into cwm or regular recovery etc

My suggestions including flashing a bunch of stuff. Which one caused the error? The flash of the modem/kernel/recovery tar file in Odin or the subsequent flashing of the zips in recovery? What was the exact error you received?
It's pretty hard to help you if you don't provide all the details.

Rooted, unlocked but can update ROM

Hi,
I've rooted and unlocked my t989D. To do that I pushed recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.7-hercules.tar via odin and then flashed SGH-T989_UVLH1_Stock_Deodex_Rooted_signed and Tmo_SGH-T989_UVLE1_radio to be at at 4.0.4 ROM and radio.
Now I want to upgrade to cm 10.2. I tried flashing it, and it required a newer radio, so i flashed Tmo_SGH-T989-UVMC6_radio. Then I reflashed cm 10.2 and the installation completed, but I only get a boot loop with the CM sign. I figured it was because I was using an old recovery. So I tried to flash a newer CWM (recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.1-hercules), and that failed, so instead I pushed the latest TWRP (openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-hercules.tar) via Odin. I'm in the same position as with the older version of CWM: I can boot recovery, I can successfully flash 10.2, but I get stuck in a boot loop with the CM sign. Can someone correct me? Id appreciate it if you could correct my logic as well plz.
Update:
I pushed the old CWM back (5.0.2.7), then flashed an older version of CM (9.1) and it got stuck in boot loops as well. I then flashed the stock 4.0.4 ROM back and it gets stuck in boot loops (during samsung logo). I then pushed TWRP 2.6.3 back and reflashed the stock 4.0.4 rom ROM and it boots
Basically, the only combination that well allow a full normal boot is TWRP 2.6.3 + stock 4.0.4 rom (SGH-T989_UVLH1_Stock_Deodex_Rooted_signed)
Update 2:
Solution seems to be a dark side super wipe http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1477955
So far, this allows me to get 9.2 working. Haven't figured out how to get 10.2 going yet.
Install latest twrp recovery then use superwipe zip file (that is mention in your archive post) than install your rom.
As far as about your boot loop issue wipe your internal and external card than just put rom installation files in it.
