hi there
rooted my Maguro Yakjuux nexus the other day but cant get any custom roms to load!
i enter recovery mode and "install from zip" any custom rom ive downloaded thru rom manager pro, and it says theres an error and that only the developer can boot CM roms? or something like that =(
any tips suggestions?
btw dont use a pc...i use a mac
thanks in advance!
Have you unlocked the bootloader, and flashed ClockworkMod Recovery (or TWRP)?
If so, download the rom from here on XDA instead of through ROM Manager.
Also, what specifically does the error say?

Ya I did unlock the bootloader. I actually did transfer and try files downloaded from the Site to my phone and tried it that way as well but to no avail. =(

Is there anyway to double check that my phones bootloader has been unlocked?

When you start the phone, at the "Google" splash screen, there will be a picture of an open lock at the bottom of the screen.
Oh ya mine has that...!

What recovery are you using?

I've tried both the manual with the side volume buttons as well as using rom manager

Hi guys! I have the GSM Galaxy Nexus with an unlocked bootloader and touch Clockwork Recovery, am I able to install any awesome modifications without actually rooting my device?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
So you have CWM? No problem .
Download the rom you want, make nandroid backup in cwm, then do a full wipe and flash the rom and reboot.

To install modifications to your current rom you will need root. However, you don't need root to install an entirely new rom.

So I can simply flash MIUI or Revolution HD without rooting my phone? All I need is an unlocked bootloader and CWM?
I never knew that! Thanks lol

I rooted my phone and unlocked following an online guide. I installed ClockWorkMod 5.8.3.1 and all. I was trying to installed Perfect Android. Now when I boot I get a x with blue red yellow and green, the color hights going in a circle different places on the x but the phone never boots. Ideas?

More info please? What ROM specifically did you flash.. please link. Did you follow proper flashing procedure.
Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Wipe cache Partition
Go into mounts and storage and Format /System
Go into advanced and Wipe Dalvik Cache
Then Flash ROM and Gapps
Then reboot.
It does take a pretty good amount of time before it boots like 4-5 minutes 5 max if its any longer its stuck in a "bootloop"
First time stuck in boot loop. I installed the updated clockworksmod and worked fine now. Weird. Not sure what happen the first time, I had to recover from original backup and reinstall JB. This is Perfect Android 4.1.1
How do I get Google wallet to work tells me unsupported device now?

My Google wallet let's me login and shows the correct balance but there is a grey bar at the top that says unsupported device. How can I get rid of that? When I select it, it tells me learn more and says my phone is rooted.

You can't. It doesn't affect anything and it still works perfectly. That is a warning because your phone is rooted, and it's a disclaimer in case there is fraud on the account the money market is not responsible. Don't worry about it

This is like Best ROM or kernel threads. There is no BEST. Just try them both and see which one you like it. However, I did do a TWRP and CWM comparison thread. If you're interested, PM me.

No.
Easiest method is to use Goo Manager, as stated.
Or you can find the .img and fastboot flash it.

Just installed this Carbon ROM on my Verizon Galaxy Nexus device and the load screen has been trying to start up for about 10 mins. any idea what could be going on and how I can fix this. Or is this normal for a new ROM to take so long to open?

Thanks man! I actually found a very primitive way of doing it and my phone is working and looks absolutely gorgeous (but don't tell my girl I said that). I basically forced the gapps.zip file into my downloads from my computer into my phone and it fixed the issue. No harm no foul. Thanks y'all:good: !
Hey people
So I tried downloading twrp from the goo app and when it finished the 10 seconds it just kept on saying download is starting. Never really started.
So I was just wondering if it's not working correctly for everybody or if it's just me.

I've been using Nexus Root Toolkit to get my recovery files. Not sure where they get downloaded from, but it always knows the latest and gets it no problem. Even tells me when my phone has an old version.

Are you using the GooManager app? I experienced that problem before. Now I can download it on PC. You can download on PC and flash it with fastboot.
Happens to me too sometime with random downloads
The best option its flash recovery with toolkit

TWRP can also be downloaded from TechErrata. Search for the link.
