What's easiest way to get root back ???
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Right. Sorry for loads of posts. But have updated boot loader still has unlocked symbol and su app is still there but don't think its working.
CWM is gone along with root.
So do I need to use root toolbox again and start as if it was fresh again
Cheers for help

When you flash the OTA manually, you will lose your temporary CWM and your bootloader will still be unlocked (you want this).
Just follow the guides to re-root.

I followed instructions on this site from another user on how to unlock and root my Verizon Galaxy Nexus. Unlocking was a success... as was Rooting. I continued to try to install Android 4.1 and my phone has been stuck in boot loop on the "Google" screen since 5 this afternoon. So no JellyBean and no phone. hahahaha... great.. help?
Can you get to your recovery
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
yes.
Then just go restore your backup and start over with fresh downloads
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Restore your backup. Or failing that, you may need to reflash 4.0 in the fastboot screen.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
I tried that and all I get is "Couldn't open directly" "no files found"
how do I reflash it? do I need to find 4.0 to download?
The easiest thing to do would be just downloaded the one nexus toolkit and use it to flash back to stock and then start over

shouldn't that all be in the toro file I downloaded?
Ya if you have a rom on there to flash other than jb use that but if not us this to get back to base

I have a rooted galaxy nexus and went to install the ota jb update. It gave me the red sign in cwm and said failed whole package sign or something like that.. now it says no update available. Anyone know what I should do to get jb update without wiping?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
you clearly modified system files. you need to find the files you modified and change them out to ones that are unmodified.
Yeah.. I changed recovery from boot.p to recoveryfromboot.p.bak as that's what a tec said to do after rooting if cwm didn't stick... can I change it back without breaking root?

That's not the reason why. You must have changed your radio or kernel or recovery. The ota update won't install ota with cwm

you are confusing root with a custom recovery. they are not the same. to get root, you have to have a custom recovery (least on anything 4.0.4 or higher). you do not need root to have a custom recovery.
if you take the OTA, you will lose root anyways and then you will also lose your custom recovery.
So I have to wait for a rom build and flash it to have jb with root??

I think there are plenty of JB roms out there from the announcement in June. I could be wrong, but if you're just looking for the new radios, I think they can just be flashed over your current setup.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
No. You can accept (or flash) the OTA & then root it.

You need to have a read of this thread. And then, maybe have a read of this one if you think it's easier.

That confused the hell out of me.. and I'm not dumb. Lol. The second one doesn't mention toroplus from what I read.
I think I'll just update and reroot.. my problem is.. do I have to change that system file back to its original? And then do I have to download the update from somewhere BC my phone says up to date now?

I would say look for a flash able stock 4.1.1 rom download it to your phone flash it and then u can relock the boot loader with an app. I forget what its called but saw it here or u can use terminal emulator. And there stock rom. Send it back. Problem solved.

Bootloader lock can be achieved by segv11's bootunlockr. Im thinking something like flashable rom 4.0.4 to 4.1.1 stock and odexed, then root without cwm via adbwireless and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1894717&highlight=root+without+unlock, bootlock via terminal emulator (preferred) or bootunlockr, use a file explorer like es to remove root.apk and su binary. I say preferred terminal emulator because im not sure how boot lock with bootunlockr would work once root has been removed. Just some ideas, would like to know how this works out for ya.
Are you sure the usb is gone? It'd be so much easier..
I had an s3 before but it was running 4.0.3 my question is im running 4.1.1 now can I use the same root and recovery through odin I used to root the older version ?

Check the stickies. Flash twrp through Odin, then flash root or pre-rooted rom through twrp.

That has everything you need to gain root. What you do from there is up to you. I've personally used it on both the ICS and JB stock images. Worked perfectly.
Search before you make a new thread next time though. Took me all of 15 seconds to find that when I first got on here.
Just recently flashed my GN with the latest CM11(1/20), but my GN is not rooted. I thought that all CM rom is rooted when installed (SU is installed).
Am I wrong?
Or, how can I root my phone?

You need to go into developer options to enable root or flash supersu.

Thanks for your reply.
I will try it.:thumbup:

It doesn't work. Also nexus root toolkit on PC doesn't work. It's still not clear if my phone is rooted or not.
May have to wait until the CM11(4.4.2) stable release.
If anyone has a solution, please let me know.
