There is an app, if your rooted, to unlock the bootloader with out wiping the data. Not sure what you mean by flashing in CMW without USB(?)
:Edit: BootUnlocker
got it. . thanks

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??

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.
I've rooted my CDMA Nexus and flashed to the leaked stock 4.0.4 update.
Will it be possible to update at all using normal methods or will I need to flash via rootkit again?

Root is no problem. A non Stock recovery is, as well as a custom ROM. But you can always flash it manualy in stead of doing through the OTA process.

Hi everybody,
Now that the 4.0.4 has been released for the Galaxy Nexus GSM, is there a full (not OTA) stock 4.0.4 rooted ROM with Google apps?
Is it needed to update kernel and radio? I want to keep CWM.
I've searched around the forum but I didn't see answers to all my questions...
Thanks you!

to have the full 4.0.4 stock rom, you'll have to unlock bootloader and flash the factory image provided by google, either by fastboot or using the nexus toolkits. The kernel and radio will be flashed automatically if you use the toolkits as it's part of the image. You can then use the toolkit to reflash CWM
Yes but I prefer a .zip file so I can delete everything that I don't need before flashing the ROM.
Something like this ROM (the one I have now) :

Thanks you!
Download the factory image from google and root it yourself.
If I was able to do it I would not ask for a ROM.
Is there an easy way to convert the image from google in tgz format to a flashable .zip file?

Yes. You can use dsixda's kitchen to make a flashable .zip file from the .img you can download from google.
why not just flash the 4.0.4 images and re-root?
Sorry to hijack, but I've got a question along the similar line.
If I use the galaxy nexus toolkit and unlock my boot loader, then use the option in it to restore to stock. After that I keep my boot loader unlocked. Will I still get ota updates?

Unlocked bootloader doesn't effect OTA's AFAIK. Custom recovery like CAN however does.

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

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
