[Q] Just got my GNEX but need some help!!!! - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I just need some that can show me the thread or even website to where I can flash clockwork recovery to my gnex but with a MAC. if anyone can help that would be awesome!!

Its the exact same, but you just need the SDK installed, and all of the commands have "./" in front of them instead.
So
Code:
fastboot flash <> <>
is now:
Code:
./fastboot flash <> <>

I will try thanks

Doesn't the ROM Manager app for CWM have an option to flash Clockwork Recovery automatically? Is that not true? I haven't done it in a while, but I could've sworn that's how I did it.

I made this video on how to root the nexus s 4g on a Mac. Its the same process only thing is make sure u type in the recovery version for your galaxy nexus and nit the ns4g.

i'm going to use the radio image that i've downloaded from official google roms
1. Download the your choice of radio for the Galaxy Nexus (GSM). 2. Place the radio image file in the same location as the SDK's platform-tools directory. 3. Power off the Galaxy Nexus. 4. Boot the Galaxy Nexus into bootloader mode by holding Volume Up, Volume Down, and the Power buttons until booted. 5. On the computer, open the terminal and navigate to the directory with the radio image and run:
fastboot flash radio radio.img
6. Reboot the device.
If that radio version doesn't work out I would suggest using cwm nextime might save you a lot of time as I know I change radios often.

Thanks !
i'll update that radio today and report back
You could probably just use terminal emulator or better terminal app on your gnex to do that command.

How do I transfer a rom to my GNEX from CWM? [urgent]

I wiped the sd card like a retard... and now don't have a rom to flash.
What do?
I can't find how to mount the sd card.
You have to adb push the Rom to your phone. Hopefully you have the android sdk installed, a quick Google search will provide you with instructions on how to push the file

You can adb from recovery?
You can also use fastboot to recover yourself

It looks like you can use the GNex Toolkit to flash stock rom from fastboot mode (option 9).

Are you getting payed or something man?
Why are you suggesting a toolkit, which will then use fastboot, to reflash a whole rom, a stock rom at that, when he has access to a custom recovery, thus he can get himself out of this mess and learn a thing or two about adb (adb can do more than just a simple copy operation).

Error while installing 4.2.2

My galaxy nexus is unlocked and rooted but I'm running stock kernel. I'm getting an abort installation prompt while trying to install it Ota and the same manually through clockwork mod. Any suggestions.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
What's it say the error is? Just download the factory image and fastboot flash all except userdata.img. I think the ota fails bc of cwm, but not sure why it would fail through cwm.
It's saying installation aborted. Do u mean fast boot it from a CPU in command prompt?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
I mean fastboot mode, like volume up+down+power, usb connected, command prompt on pc. If you dont know about fastboot, you should probably read these: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1812959 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895. By unlocked, i assume you mean bootloader unlocked, like an open padlock displayed at the google splash screen bottom..
Thanks bro!

[Q] NEED HELP ASAP, Deleted system

So i was about to flash the Cyanogen 10.1 ROM on to my phone when i accidentally wiped the system files off my phone. So i went to reboot and it said there was no OS installed on my phone and that SuperSU wasn't installed. When i try to boot it up it just sits at the google screen with the padlock icon at the bottom. If it makes a difference used TWRP (team win recovery project). I don't have a backup on my phone and i don't know what to do. I seriously need help guys. I'm desperate.... :crying::crying::crying:
Just flash stock
Push custom rom to sdcard via adb in recovery mode.
Or
Flash stock images

Galaxy nexus root

Can anyone point me in the right direction? I'm trying to figure out how to root my 32g sprint galaxy nexus SPH-L700. Just looking for a guide I can't find one anywhere. Thanks in advance.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
wait
waiting for the solution ...
Flash custom recovery via fasrboot and then flash latest supersu via recovery.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
A little more direction than that please? Maybe a link to a walkthrough? Last time I had to flash a custom recovery it wouldn't root properly. I would rather have a walkthrough than brickb my phone.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
The galaxy nexus is very hard to brick..
1. Download a custom recovery from the clockworkmod site.
2. Boot into fastboot and type: fastboot flash recovery the-name-of-the-recovery-you-just-downloaded.img (for this to work you need to paste the downloaded recovery.img into the fastboot folder)
3. Boot into recovery and select "install zip from sd card" (assuming you already downloaded the lastest supersu.zip)
4. Flash the latest supersu and wipe both cache and dalvik cache.
5. Reboot and enjoy.
