[Q] My Gnex won't get past 4.0.2 Canada

Hi I've tried to change my Build. I'm currently using Android Revolution HD. I've got the kernel the program came with - android-build. I have tried changing it over to a whole of builds. AOKP, Gummy
It never successfully launches any of them.
Every time I wipe data, cache and I wipe Dalvik too.
I don't know what to do...
Is there any one who is on Rogers that can do this?
Thanks guys

Don't really make sense??? Try to also format system in recovery ( it won't touch ur personal stuff ) then do all the other wipes then try flash another Rom if that don't work I.got nothing, if u can't figure out there's always fastboot stock Google .img

Can you provide a step-by-step instruction on how you tried to update your Galaxy Nexus ? I'm not on Rogers (I'm on TELUS), but still, maybe we can help you and see if you are following the right path !

You're not doing something right if you can't get another ROM installed.
Do this.
Make sure ROM and Gapps package for that ROM is on your SD card
Reboot into recovery
Wipe data
Wipe cache
Go to Advanced, Wipe dalvik
Go to Mounts and Storage, format system, and cache
INSTALL ROM based on 4.03
Install Gapps
Reboot and Enjoy

I would back your phone up before doing this. Formatting your system deletes the operating system.

[Q] I Need Help

Helo.. i have question about gio.. before want to flash custom rom.. need to flash superuser and cwm right?? if only flash superuser, can? sorry my bad english and stupid question.. i'm tired how to solve my problem camera, everytime i flash custom rom.. i wanna flash xperiatized on my gio.. what i wanna do before flash?? wipe data only??

You have to flash CWM first. After that you have to wipe everything (data, cache, maybe dalvik-cache) and then you have to install your ROM.
If you was on Stock before you have to wipe everything again.
Now you can reboot and enjoy your rom.
PS: There's no need to flash Superuser.

If you are on a Stock-ROM than flash this: http://www.android-hilfe.de/attachm...-signed_cwm-5.0.2.7-flashablezip-ext4-rfs.zip
When you have installed the Custom-ROM than flash this: http://www.android-hilfe.de/attachm...-signed_cwm-5.0.2.7-flashablezip-ext4only.zip

[Q] How do I upgrade my CM10?

Total newb question but on the CM10 thread they say:
Instructions:
First time flashing CyanogenMod 10 your device, or coming from another ROM?
Root the device and install ClockworkMod Recovery. Instructions are available here.
Perform a NANDroid backup of your current ROM.
Format the system, data & cache partitions of your device.
Perform a factory reset.
Flash CyanogenMod.
Optional: Install the Google Apps addon package.

.... they don't say how to flash if you are upgrading.
Some in the thread say that they just "dirty flash" it.
What exactly is a "dirty flash"?

dirty flash means you didnt wipe data/cache.
most of the time, you can dirty flash newer versions of the same rom over the older version of the rom you have.
HOWEVER, if you have problems, you need to wipe data/cache and reflash the rom completely

Guess I might as well wipe the cache and dalvik even on a dirty flash?
Thanks

I upgraded from CM10 M1 to M2 with only a wipe of Dalvik cache. Works fine.

I finished installing M2 after wiping both the cache and dalvik cache (figured I would do the cache just in case).
Worked great!
Thanks all

***what Nexus version do you have?*** i've used the below instructions with GSM GNex***
If you're coming from an AOSP CM9 rom, Do the following :
Download Maguro (or your models ROM+Gappsl).
- boot into recovery.
- Preform NANDroid Backup.
- Wipe Dalvik cache.
- Wipe Factory reset.
- Wipe Cache.
- install zip from SDcard>choose zip from SDcard>ROM.zip (your ROM)
- Flash Gapps.zip
- Flash kernel.zip (if you have one)
- go to Advanced> Fix Permissions
- Reboot system now !
- Enjoy.
***I've used this method for a trillion flashes !***

No need to wipe anything when updating nightlies. Like it was said before, wipe data and reflash when you face problems.

Factory reset, format /system
Flash rom

Note to OP: Don't flash Gapps if it is included already in the ROM you installed.

after flash i wipe the cache/dalvik. I think it is the option after you flash in twrp.

Thanks for your answers

I will try that tomorrow.. I hope it erases all my bugs..

One noob question... Full Wipe is Factory Reset?
Edit: Formated Everything except internal storage before install Rom, then.. something strange happened.. my backgroud menu was bugged.. like seeing another menu behind settings menu.. even in twrp i saw the original USB menu of stock..

Not just factory reset. A full wife is made in cwm recovery and it has 3 stages : factory wipe/data,wipe cache partition,wipe dalvik cache, format /system.

A full wipe doesn't mean format /system. If you format system after flashing a rom then there is no rom exists in your phone anymore. Performing a factory reset also clean cache partition too.

if you would've payed attention, he mentioned he made the wipes BEFORE flashing a custom rom. so, yes, it's recommended to perform a /system format.
