I unlocked, rooted and am now running the android revolution HD rom with a theme and updated boot animation.
This might be a silly question but will I need to restore a nandroid of stock rom to accept a Google update??

+1 im curious about this too... I'm not sire if its different with Google phones

yes, you would need to restore. if you running custom ROM, your updates depend on developer not Google.
Just restore to stock rooted? I don't have to inroot and relock do I?

Most of it has to do with the recovery. I believe the OTA's need the stock recovery and won't work with CWM.
Hi. Right now my phone is rooted but with stock 4.0.2 and I want to put it like out of the box stock and unrooted. Can I do this with the toolkit? Do I need to download the 4.0.2 version from Google?
What do I need to do?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
You can do it with the toolkit or with Fastboot, your choice.
Download the images from Google and use either method.
Could I download the 4.0.4 image instead and use toolkit to flash it?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
Yes you can.

I have the 5.1 version of the toolkit. Does it matter or should I download the latest version?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
Yeah, take the latest version because it supports 4.0.4

you'd be better off using fastboot to flash the images... you wouldnt have to keep up with versions

Absolutely true... But it's ok to start with the tool IMHO, just start learning and try to find an answer to your questions and a solution to your problems yourself first before asking and you will learn...

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
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
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 am in 4.2.2 and tried many times to OTA update to 4.3 but it always failed.
Looking in the ROM Manager first screen says that my ROM is not set up to receive OTA.
There are no other options as these are for premium users of the app.
What can I do?

Flash it manually via fastboot.

Well I tried to do so using the nexus root toolkit by Wugfresh but it doesn't seem to work for 4.3 yet.
My other option is to download the file from Google and flash it with the Gal.Nex. toolkit.
As you see I am not very good with commands etc and I am trying to do it the easy way..

OK you are right and I am going to do my homework tonight BUT...
Why the h... is it unable to OTA?
It's a completely stock jakju 4.2.2
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
something isnt stock. it could be the radio, kernel, some system file you modified.
When it errors out it should tell you where the problem is.

There are some system apps that I have deleted or freezed. It might be it?
In another thread here in xda I read that the device should be in stock recovery in order to accept the OTA update. Now mine is in clockwork mode.
Is this right?

Sigh. CWM doesn't stop otas, modifying /system does that.
If you removed system apps then that's your problem. You will never be able top install the OTA in any way

Sorry for my english, I`m quite bad... I was wondering if someone could help me with my gnex, Some months ago i bought one, it was rooted and with the bootloader unlocked. Í´ve changed the ROM so many times and then i decided to go back to stock. The problem that I have is that my phone is only working with 4.0.4, I´ve tried everything... odin, the tollkit, re-locking the bootloader and trying to update by OTA, nothing works. When I try to update it to 4.1 or another version it keeps on bootloop. I´ve tried changin the baseband, kernel, recovery, tried all official ROMS whit toolkit... Only 4.0.4, cm9 it works but when i try to uptade it goes on bootloop again...
I don´t know what to do. I`m sorry if I`m posting in the wrong section...
When you was flashing ROM's did you do a factory reset?

How do you try to update? What ROM do you want to flash? Which recovery do you use? Using which method do you try to update?

I've tried with all methods. OTA over official 4.0.4, toolkit, odin. Nothing.
I want to update it, I don't like ICS. I've tried all types of versions, only ICS ROMs are working. I've tried with diferent recoverys also. Nothing...
I'm desperate

Did you try fastboot? That erases everything and has the highest chance of succes.

My maguro/gnex happen like this as well.
What i do, copy any custom rom(4.4 latest) into sd/data when in ics rom.
Then i flash cwm recovery using adb in fastboot
Then i boot into cwm then flash that custom rom zip file.
And it works.
Or you can find stock jdq39/4.3 in zip and flash that.

Did you try installing the stock factory 4.3 ROM from Google?
Search the forum and you will find the link, download and use fastboot it even the toolkit and install that. That will erase everything and should have nothing to do with your recovery or root.
But you will end up with stock 4.3 ROM

Tried changing to twrp? Have you upgraded your recovery to the newest version?
Maybe you're on a 3 year old recovery
