Getting a Nexus

Okay... so I'm a bit new to Android, but I do have a Touchpad and a Kindle Fire both running CM9 for a while now. But for a Nexus? I have no clue what to do. So... anyone want to help me out with rooting/customizing/modding my Nexus?

Unlock your boot loader using fastboot with the command: fastboot oem unlock
Flash cw recovery using fastboot.
Install rom using cw recovery.
Done.

You will lose cwm and root. Doesn't unlock your boot loader. But its easy to use fast boot to return everything back or use gnex tool to do it for you. Its stickied in the development section .

The factory images from Google are not pack properly for use with CWM. I plan to do it as soon as I have some spare time, but haven't gotten around to it yet.
To use fastboot, your bootloader needs to be unlocked. Yes, you will lose all your data (including /sdcard) if you unlock. And yes, you will lose root if you flash the factory images ,but it doesn't matter, as getting root back with an unlocked bootloader is trivial. Same thing with CWM, getting it back is trivial.

Can't use fastboot with a locked bootloader.

But if he is already unlocked his boot loader. Fast boot won't be a problem for him ( unless he is rooted without unlocking the boot loader using your method efrant.

You can flash the image from Google, your bootloader will stay unlocked. The only reason for you to lock the bootloader is to send it for repairs. Other than a hardware malfunction, you can fix anything that happens to your gnex. Everything can be done with fastboot or if you're new. The gnex tool software.

Okey Thanks you at all

-Extract the rom.zip from RUU of your CID (google how extract ruu.exe)
- fastboot oem readcid (to know your CID)
-Extract boot.img, signed_recovery.img from rom.zip
then
- fastboot flash recovery signed_recovery.img
- fastboot flash boot boot.img
- fastboot oem lock
Run the RUU exe file (of your CID) in fastboot mode

Actually no need. This is the right recovery checked my sister stock hox never been rooted same version i went to her recovery same thing appeared. Thanks anyway

Yes that picture is correct , if the ruu runned successful then you are completely stock. Its a warning sign that you are about to enter the recovery, push volume up and power button and you enter the recovery.
In order to flash anything to the phone you must have a unlocked bootloader
But why did you open a new thread for this, as you posted it already in the original thread you opened and also got the answer there

[Q] Exchanging unlocked (bootloader) GPE device... Anything I need to do?

I'm exchanging my GPE LG G Pad because of some screen light bleeding (I hear this isn't uncommon with LG displays) Thing is, my bootloader is unlocked and my device is rooted...Is there anything I should do before sending it back? If so, I'd appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction.
Thanks XDA!

If it is a warranty replacement from LG, and you have a custom recovery, I would start by flashing the stock recovery.img via fastboot. Then I would unroot it (unroot option in SuperSU app). And finally I would relock the bootloader.

Be sure to thank him.

So I ended up just using the flashify app (awesome app btw) to flash the recovery and adb command to lock the bootloader. Afterwards I just unrooted it in SuperSU. All in all, super easy.

Hey,
Hopefully you guys can give me some help with the problem ive been having,
My nexus 5 is stuck in bootloop, i can get into the bootloader and the lockstate is unlocked but no custom recovery is appearing like it used to. I tried flashing using ADB but my phone doesn't show up as a device on my pc.
i have tried to wipe the cache ect and it comes up with "E:failed to mount /cache (invalid argument)
I only really know the basics of this stuff (only ever used the basic stuff to root and flash my phone)

That's only necessary for ADB when booted into Android. Not required when using it from recovery. Anyway, that's irrelevant. The op should be using fastboot in bootloader mode.

You should be using fastboot then. I suspect you were, but like so many, erroneously called it ADB.

You need to take Android 101 again. ADB doesn't work when in the bootloader. It works when booted and in recovery.
There are a few potential fixes and a for-damn-sure one. Were you an a custom rom when the bootloop occurred? Rooted stock? More info please...

So if I were you I'd download the latest factory images from HERE. Unzip bullhead-mhc19q-factory-22ba5e5a.tgz (or whatever the name is). Then remove the -w from the flash-all.bat file located in the unziped folder. Then execute the flash-all.bat to reflash the factory images without wiping data. Have fun.

I don't think that works.
I also have the same problem and when I do that, it errors as "FAILED (remote: device is locked. Cannot flash images)"
Is there a way to unlock bricked device??

You are not in the same situation. Your bootloader is locked. Before anyone can help you, you need to provide more information about your sh!tuation.
