What can I do?

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?

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

Just backing up the boot.img isn't safe enough as the kernel could have flashed a different WiFi driver or a few other system files. Safest way is it backup boot and system.

If you already flashed a custom kernel without making a nandroid, there isn't anything you can do except reflash the ROM.

(Q) error when flashing rom =(

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?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

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

That's how 99% of users flash kernels anyways. I usually do as that gives me a zip on my phone to flash back to a different kernel in case of emergency.

and why is this on general?

seriously if u needed to start a thread for this question u shouldnt be flashing

While I agree with why this is here LOL, just find a kernel using the XDA App from the market, go to the beginning of the thread to find download link, then reboot recovery and flash new kernel you just downloaded. Make sure you wipe cache and davlik before flashing. Good Luck.

the recovery i have is cwm 10.1
cwm-Recovery-LTE-SGS3-v5.tar.md5

Use twrp
+Bound for Valhalla!
+Did ya boy help? Gimmie a "thanks"! It's fast -one click- and!! It's free!!

cwm 10.1?? Think you may be confused with the CM 10.1 rom. There is no such version for CWM recovery but if you still face issues there even on the latest version then try moving to the latest TWRP and it should run through fine.

CWM and TWRP are separate recoveries man.. Flashing one will overwrite the other. Just choose which one you want.

TWRP is always recommended but it's all about personal preference. If you want my opinion I think TWRP is indeed better. It's got a much better UI and a lot easier to navigate, not to mention it's all touchscreen based.

Ok well this will be for my Samsung galaxy s3, so I just uninstall cwm and the install twrp?

Keep in mind that nandroids are recovery dependant so your current CWM backups will not be compatible with TWRP and same vice versa. If you're worried abput losing your backups what you could do is restore any CWM backup then flash TWRP and backup that ROM you had restored over to TWRP. You can do the same to all your CWM backups if you have any more but that'll take you quite a bit of time to do lol.

No need to uninstall. Like I said, just flash TWRP through Goomanager and it'll overwrite your current recovery.

I have the same issue
Hi I also tried to install PACMan rom in Galaxy R through TWRP latest version. It says
1. No cheksum files found.
2. Assert failed.
Then some conditions are being checked to identify the device name. That's why the assertion failed.
