As long as you didn't follow the steps to make cwm permanent, then the next time you rebooted it restored your stock recovery. At the error, try pressing any of the hardware buttons, should show up

Hi everybody,
Now that the 4.0.4 has been released for the Galaxy Nexus GSM, is there a full (not OTA) stock 4.0.4 rooted ROM with Google apps?
Is it needed to update kernel and radio? I want to keep CWM.
I've searched around the forum but I didn't see answers to all my questions...
Thanks you!

to have the full 4.0.4 stock rom, you'll have to unlock bootloader and flash the factory image provided by google, either by fastboot or using the nexus toolkits. The kernel and radio will be flashed automatically if you use the toolkits as it's part of the image. You can then use the toolkit to reflash CWM
Yes but I prefer a .zip file so I can delete everything that I don't need before flashing the ROM.
Something like this ROM (the one I have now) :

Thanks you!
Download the factory image from google and root it yourself.
If I was able to do it I would not ask for a ROM.
Is there an easy way to convert the image from google in tgz format to a flashable .zip file?

Yes. You can use dsixda's kitchen to make a flashable .zip file from the .img you can download from google.
why not just flash the 4.0.4 images and re-root?
Sorry to hijack, but I've got a question along the similar line.
If I use the galaxy nexus toolkit and unlock my boot loader, then use the option in it to restore to stock. After that I keep my boot loader unlocked. Will I still get ota updates?

Unlocked bootloader doesn't effect OTA's AFAIK. Custom recovery like CAN however does.

Hey XDA. I am on 4.0.4 AOKP M5. My problem is that when I was on AOKP M4, i wiped cache, dalvik and factory reset to install M5. When the GNEX booted, nothing was deleted, I didnt have to start over, txts were there, apps and music was there. Shouldn't it have been deleted and started fresh?
What am I doing wrong? Please help, any suggestions are welcome
Here is the video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IyVPojN-RA
Video is hard to see, sorry. The first part is just me verifying the .zips for the rom are there.
*I tried to use wugfreshs toolkit to unroot and lock the bootloader so I could essentially start over but im on 4.0.4 and the factory img is a 4.0.2 so It came up with errors
* edit, thanks for msedek I am now unrooted with a locked boot loader. Will root later on!
Any help is appreciated

Some times you gotta wipe several times 2 or 3 it wont Hurt, before flashing the ROM.. Go ahead and wipe factory reset with CWM and also dalvik cache as i said doit several times before flashing the zip
Cheers

OK I wiped the phone 5 times and flashed aokp m5 I thought it try to boot without gapps this time.. when I booted up, nothing deleted and gapps still there even though I didn't flash them..

Have you tried wiping via Fastboot?
Fastboot erase data
Fastboot erase cache
Ok so download and flash a stock google image and leave your phone as new again, then do all the root /install cwm again and then try to install aokp, i suggest you to use the toolkit from development section.. Thats what i use and works flawlessly

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392310 this toolkit and no, flashing the stock image dont need a wipe, just install the toolkit and follow the easy steps there for everything
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Which options do I use to do this? Please help
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
0-put your phone in fastboot and plug to pc and open toolkit
1- Select your phone version
Meaning android gsm or cdma and its 4.0.1 4.0.2 4.0.3 4.0.4. It does not matter if it custom rom just matter if cdma or gsm and what version of android
2-install drivers if you dont have or if the toolkit does not recognice your phone in the list of attached files
3-once done with recognition use option 8 (donwload/extract/flash google factory inage)
4-Select 1 then if you are gsm go for 5 IMM76I for others get the lastest
5-after that go to the directory you installed the toolkit default is c:\Galaxy Nexus toolkit, open that folder and inside theres another folder called put_google_factory_image_here so the google file you just downloaded put it there, close that Windows and then back to toolkit use option 2 flash google factory image (dont not unzip the downloaded file)
Thats pretty much it
Then after you are done open again toolkit and use option 7 one CLICK FOR ALL in fastboot mode
When asked choose cwm touch since its the lastests versión and working kool wiht aokp m5

When I try to update when it reboots and tries to install it but then it gives me an android with an exclamation mark. What should I do? I'm on stock rooted with a custom recovery, I think its something to do with the recovery right?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
You can't accept and auto-install an OTA with a custom recovery image. You have to either have stock recovery and let it install, or use CWM to flash it manually.
What's the easiest thing to do? How would I be able to do it?

Your choice. Either flash back to the stock recovery and accept the OTA, or get a download of the OTA and flash it thru CWM.

Are they posted here in the forums? It would be nice if you could provide either one for me but if the files are in the forums I'll look for them

I'd say its easier to flash manually thru Cwm.
Ok so I flashed the radios is there anything else I need to flash now?

Currently unlocked bootloader
No root access
I flashed a version of jellybean off clockwork ROM install section. I installed the OTA update today over the flashed version today. I want to do a fresh restore to and remove the custom roms, and was wondering can I just do a full reset since I don't have root access. The phone originally came with 4.04 ICS. or do I need to flash a 4.04 stock .zip? Thanks for the advice.

You can download the stock 4.0.4 images from here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images (choose yakju or takju, your choice).
And flash them via fastboot. It'll completely wipe your device and set you back to stock 4.0.4 (firmware, recovery, radio, everything). You'll soon receive the 4.1.1 OTA notification after that too.
A useful guide to flashing if you're not familiar with the method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895

No need for fastboot here, OP should be able to recover/push a ROM to /sdcard/ through ADB/custom recovery.
@OP, this has been answered many times before. RTFM.
