Please Help, Cannot WIPE! (Video) - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

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

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

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 versiĆ³n and working kool wiht aokp m5

Day Old Nexus Bricked? Need Help

So I have had my galaxy nexus for less than 24 hours. I was transferring some files over and when I was done I had shut off my phone. Now every time I turn the phone it freezes in the boot animation. I managed to get into the stock recovery and do a factory reset, but still the phone locks up.
Can I reflash the stock image? I would have to do this with fastboot?
Yes. Check the stickies in the development forum there will be guides on how to flash good luck. If I wasn't on my phone I would attempt to help more but I can't get to a computer :/

I was thinking of using the toolkit in the dev section to load the stock rom. I can only get to fast boot on the phone but that should be ok? Correct?
Yes, fastboot should be all you need.

If you want to learn how to do it, instead of using a toolkit, try a doing it yourself by using something like this.
Well that sucked... Tried the tool kit to reflash the stock image and now the phone wont turn on at all. So I'm off to the store tomorrow to return it. I think the internal memory must of screwed itself when I was transferring files from my mac to the phone, as it would never boot after that. I have never had internal memory fail on a phone before...
Instead of using the toolkit try odin

Instead of using a toolkit or odin, use fastboot/efrant's guide like he told you to.

[Q] Having trouble with CWR booting

I unlocked rooted and flashed recovery without any problems it seemed I used adb to fastboot flash maguro 5.5.0.2 then rom manager to upgrade recovery after I flash recovery in rom manager I can boot into it fine 1 time after that I get the Android on its back hence I have to flash recovery from rom manager everytime before I enter - any ideals what I've need to do to get this to work correctly - or can someone point me in right direction
There are two files that re-flash the stock recovery on every boot. You need to delete them, then reflash your CWM. They are:
/system/recovery-from-boot.p
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh

To flash the OTA Update on Takju 4.1 you have to use stock kernel, stock ROM, all haves to be stock!
E.g. if Radio baseband is changed then it fails when trying to update it, other bootloader doesn't bother so bootloader can be whatever what version..
If you have flashed custom Kernel then flash stock back and if still can't update then make factory reset!
If you are using JB 4.1 which was flshable via CWM (other than jb-takju.zip from koush) then it can maybe cause to update problem too, also if you have modified build.prop then replace it with the original build.prop..
I tried factory reset but still won't work I also tried manually but get a code 7 error were can I find all stock 4.1.

Try this:

http://download.clockworkmod.com/test/jb-takju.zip
Download the OTA Update from "General" thread...
put them to Galaxy Nexus!
Now make backup of files to PC...
go to fastboot mode!
Flash recovery via fastboot, whatever what recovery recovery which works!
Wipe dalvik cache, wipe cahce, flash jb-takju.zip, wipe factory and data the flash jb-takjuu.zip again and now flash OTA Update, reboot!
it should work, worked for me..
OK thanks will try.

[Q]Phone Bricked?

Phone stuck on loading animation, but can get into fastboot and Clockwork mod recovery. Unable to flash a new images using toolkit or adb as device not detected, please help?
You don't have any backups?

Bricking your Gnex is not a easy task.
Just download the wugfresh's toolkit and click the 'back to stock' button with 'can't boot up' checked. That's it all you have to do now is just wait for a couple of minutes.
And finally you'll have your Gnex back to life.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I do have a full adb backup but I can't see my device from my laptop.
[sarcasm]yeah yeah, your device is bricked[/sarcasm]
Have you tried usb jig? Gets your phone into dlmode.

NO. Only if you are REALLY bricked, cannot start bootloader, get into recovery, etc. That's actually quite hard to do. If you ever get stuck on the bootanimation or get bootloops:
1. Wipe cache and dalvik cache
3. If not working, re-flash ROM
4. If still not working, wipe data
5. If _still_ not working, go back to stock using any method.
Your welcome mate

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.
