In recovery, I wiped everything. Can't boot, nothing to boot to, and it won't let me mount my SD card from within recovery. I can mount /system, /data, and /cache.
I tried--as a panic attempt--to do the (mac) terminal based unroot/root ... and I can't get past flashing the radios, obviously.
I can accept the ridicule for some productive answers.
I did look at this thread, but this person is able to mount his SD card, which I cannot.
Thanks in advance...

First, pardon my ignorance on this matter. Since Google released the factory imagines for the Galaxy Nexus does this allow you to restore the phone no matter how bad you brick it? Thanks in advanced

Well to do that you need to flash the bootloader.
If you screw up flashing the bootloader (like unplugging the cable when it's transfering the file), then you're dead.

Exactly.
On some of the SGS phones its possible to mod them to be unbrickable. Basically you can make it so it boots via USB (at least that's what I understand it to do)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1310865
Actually fastboot is a very safe protocol, it checks for sums before sending and before flashing so that the image is still intact. However if your bootloader is already corrupt on your computer or you dd (flash) some crap into the bootloader partition, your phone will be bricked.
I know a guy who wanted to return his HTC Desire HD. He replaced his bootloader with a porn image. I don't think I have to mention that the phone did not boot anymore
What is the method to fix a phone that is in a boot loop or something else.

No phone is idiot proof and as a previous Galaxy S II owner I have seen guys flash a i9000 (Galaxy S) ROM to their phone and then wonder why it does not boot and the amount of guys who flashed the partition table which also screwed their phones is unbelievable.
Bottom line is read the documentation and read it again and any questions ask on here and from there you cannot go wrong.

Of course it can be used, but with care!!!
I agree....
there should always be a warning
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dd_(Unix)
It is jokingly said that dd stands for "disk destroyer", "data destroyer", "death and destruction", or "delete data", since when used for low-level operations on hard disks, a small mistake, such as reversing the if and of (input and output) parameters, could result in the loss of some or all data on a disk.

Well if you're only unlocked, and not rooted, have custom recovery/ROM or anything, you are completely stock. Just unlocked bootloader... OTA has nothing to do with unlocking bootloader. Also root doesn't stop OTAs. Just FYI... Only flashing custom ROM, custom kernel or custom recovery or a change to a system partition stops the OTA.

Yes you can use that guide for toroplus (i.e., Sprint) devices as well if you have the images. But since you don't have the userdata image (and therefore you skip that step), you may need to boot CWM and wipe /data and /cache, but only if you experience a bootloop.
So in recovery I have to flash each image? That's the part I don't get.

You cannot flash image files on any recoveries. You need to do those in fastboot mode using command prompt.

I think what Mach3.2 was trying to say is that if you use a toolkit:
1) you don't learn anything;
2) if something doesn't work, it is very difficult to figure out what, as the toolkit hides everything from you;
3) if you follow a step-by-step, you see EXACTLY what goes wrong where.

If so, try re-flashing the system, boot and userdata images, and re-erase the cache.

I don't even have Rom manager on my phone anymore, to me it's kinda useless, I've never tried flashing anything from it for this reason, you can't tell what phone it's for, I always hear more stories of it messing things up versus doing what you wanted. Just do it the safe way by downloading the right rom for your phone to your computer and transfer it over to your sd card and flash from recovery, and always have a backup ready for times you mess up.
