Just got a gnex - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

So I just got a nexus yesterday. Today I tried using the toolkit to unlock bootloader, root and write recovery.
So I did everything in the instructions and it worked....at first.
Now when I try and boot into recovery I get the fastboot android guy with a red triangle.
I also get a "fastboot read error".
Can anyone shed some light on this?

don't rely on toolkits
So just reflash a recovery.img and then flash this : http://db.tt/Ec8NOJLX
Fastboot flash recovery example.img
Once in recovery flash the zip and done.

Oh sorry. Was away and thought someone would have chimed in. You should be able to use any fast boot... I think. I just used the ones from the SDK.

afaik, fastboot is no longer available in android sdk (r13 was the last to have it).
also, i'm not sure htc uses the same fastboot binary.

That would be great if you would do that. Jumbofiles was really good but they did maintenance to their servers and screwed up stuff.

I have torolplus.
Do you even have a Linux partition. Do you even know what Linux is? Do you know how to decompile a boot.img? Do you know what a boot.img is? You're way over your head here bud. Suck it up and stop asking or buy a GS3 like you should have from the beginning.

sure! as long as you already have your bootloader unlocked and recovery flashed.
download the rom to your phone reboot to recovery and flash
I'm not entirely sure. Can you boot the phone? if so you could use an android terminal on your phone to push the whole system.
Something like
Code:
adb remount
adb push sdcard/blahblah/system/ /system
If it works let me know. why do you not have access to a computer?
Edit: His idea is better than mine. I keep the recovery stock until i use it and boot a TWRP recovery image. Good luck Brochacho!

In short. You have to make sure you have the stock system on your phone. Including radios and recovery. Both radios should be FH05. If not it will keep failing.

Boot loader does not need to be locked. It does not interfere with ota updates. However make sure you have the correct system.

Here is the flashable for the FH05 radios. If you need the .img files only Im pretty sure you can just pull them out and push them.
I get the radios back to FH05 and now I can't find the update through my phone! I try searching for an update and nothing happens. Guess I have to wait for it to come back to me again.
Thank you everyone I'm glad people on here help each other out I fixed it
