Im running rascream (aosp) and trinity kernel. Ive flashed alot of roms and kernels since i bought the phone. I know if i relock bootloader and unlock it everything gets wiped. Do i have to flash a stock image first or can i just stay on the custom rom?

If you stay on your current ROM and simply relock your bootloader, you won't lose any data. You will only lose data if you decide to unlock it again at a future date.

if you lock and unlock, it wipes all the user data, but should leave the /system image alone.
so you would still have your custom rom, just no data including in the sd card folder.
If you want it to be stock, you have to flash the stock images. I wouldn't lock the bootloader unless you plan on sending it in for warranty work, as the next time you unlock it wipes the phone again.

If you want to wipe boot into fastboot mode and type the following:
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
That will clear your ROM, kernel and all your data (including /sdcard).
You can also do it in recovery -- I'm pretty sure I saw a script floating around. I could also put one together for you, but it is really easy to wipe using fastboot.
Ok....so will it be like stock? I guess what im trying to say is im trying to clear out any junk thant might be left over from other roms. So unlocking the bootloader again would be like just like wiping all user data in clockwork?

it will not be stock if you just lock then unlock the bootloader.
it will be the custom rom, but with no user data including no user data on the /sdcard folder.
if you want stock, you have to flash the stock images.

What do you want to do: go back to stock, or wipe?
To wipe, do what I said above. To got back to stock, you need to flash the system, boot and userdata images from a stock ROM.

Do what I mentioned in my first post and then re-flash rascream. But again, note that it will wipe EVERYTHING, including /sdcard.

Data wipe, wipe dalvik, wipe battery stats and format system works for me
Take a paper towel, lightly dampen it and slowly wipe the surface of the phone. Take another paper towel and slowly dry the surface of the phone.
Wiping complete!

Factory reset (or unlock/relock bootloader). Since there are no separate partitions, it will delete everything iirc.
Iv installed the aokp rom after coming from arhd and power amp and double twist don't work which is a major bug
I used this super wipe zip when i flashed arhd and not sure if this is the issue as no1 else seems to have this problem
Power amp just opens then closes and runs a scan in the background which just loops and can't do anything so easiest thing for me is to start from scratch

If you want to go back to stock it should be sufficient to delete all caches from recovery and flash the Galaxy Nexus ICS stock image provided by Google.
Nah I want the aokp rom, its soo good but if power amp doesn't work then its a noo noo
So thought if I wipe it and start fresh all will be good

I would also like to know. I flashed arhd and want to format the entire device but keep root/arhd. Is it just a matter of factory reset and wipe dalvik cache?

Factory Reset, while having the bootloader unlocked and while using AOKP, did not delete the contents of my galaxy nexus's SD CARD... WTF?
Unlocking the bootloader will surely erase everything.
I have a stock Verizon Galaxy Nexus that has a locked boot loader and is not rooted and i am wondering, is there a way for me to back up my apps before i root my phone so that after i unlock the boot loader and after i flash a custom rom i can restore my apps and app data?

Follow the guide here.
It says it's for ICS, but works on JB, in case you're wondering
thats probably not a good idea, restoring app data.

well, wiping dalvik and cache should make android rebuild caches with correct hash, after the restore.

Need some quick help here. I unlocked and rooted my gnex. I have done this several times before and with all my other android phones. As soon as I rooted it, I flashed the new 4.2 gapps package. Upon booting, the launcher would not respond and thusly I could not access my home screen or app drawer. I had to open my apps from the google now target on the lock screen. As I read more, I heard not to flash the 4.2 gapps unless you have flashed another rom.
So I went to chrome, dl'ed the cm10 m2 zip, went into rom manager and flashed the cm10 and 4.2 gapps again. Now upon booting, the cyanogenmod icon is bootlooping, and has been for the last ten minutes. I went back into recovery and tried the process again, this time wiping the cache and dalvik, to no avail...same bootloop.
Please help!
Install a stock ROM using fastboot.....
Beamed from my Maguro.
If it helps at all, it's a Verizon galaxy nexus. Please help! Also if it is at all possible to save pictures, please let me know. Wiping would be my last resort.
Thanks

Is there a way of flashing stock that does not require a wipe?
Also I did make a nandroid of the stock rooted rom, but for some reason, after flashing that, the cyanogenmod logo stilled appeared at boot...

U need to wipe cache/dalvik/factory reset/system(u need to do this every time before flashing a ROM) , do it like 3 times and re-flash ROM. Don't worry about ur photos, they r in the internal memory and u don't need to wipe it, so u won't lose them.

Which file did you flash? You could've used the 'maguro' (GSM) one instead of the 'toro' (Verizon) one

When you factory reset, the entire phone is wiped, no? And how can I factory reset from recovery?

Nope. Factory Reset doesn't wipe the internal SD. It should be located inside the wiping options(I'm using TWRP recovery). Anyways u should wipe cache/dalvik/factory reset/system before flashing a ROM not just factory reset.

Got home from class, wiped cahce, dalvik, and data, flashed cm10 m2 and gapps 4.2. Everythings great and I still have my pics. Thanks guys
It was just taking that plunge of wiping data that was freaking me out. I had some pics that i absolutely could not lose, but after reading on it more, it makes sense that the wipe would not format the internal sd.
Thanks again!

Whichever one works better for you. There are different customizations for each ROM, but it's up to you to decide which one works better for your needs.

I never have that issue even with dirty flash. Have you tried to wipe system, data, everything? I think you can try to Odin back to stock, then root it and start everything fresh. Sometimes the old files are still left over and mess up your phone.

The sad thing is, that's all I've been doing. Using Odin and keep going back to stock, update to ICS with Kies, and then hope to try and run another version of the ROM, and still no luck. It's quite frustrating. And yeah, I wiped system, data, everything. Did a full on wipe.
Also, has anyone have been getting call issues? Like you sound muzzled to your callers?

Here is solution for your issue:
1. Upgrade recovery, or switch to TWRP.
2. Clean flash rom again.
3. Flash the newest radio UVLI4, or LI1.

DO NOT do that if you are on the latest TWRP or CWM 6.+ cause Darkside super wipe was discontinued. For AOKP and CM 10.1 Nightly I just did a data/partition wipe and flash gapps.
umm... I don't have much to say but anyway shortly.
Unlock the bootloader, root, install cyanogen custom ROM cm-11-20140205-NIGHTLY-flo, mess with kernels,
install the factory image, reset bootloader, re-root, reinstalled Cyanogen custom ROM, and now... my N7 storage only available 11.29 GB.
not sure, I think that factory image was for 16GB N7.
so I want to re-partition this to takeback my 26GB but I don't know how to do that.
or, if there any recovery solution?
add
Uh... mayby I installed Factory image for LTE Models...
You shouldn't have been able to flash LTE model, should have came up with an error.
Did you preform a complete wipe, cache wipe in custom recovery? Do that and then flash your ROM.
