[Q] My Gnex won't get past 4.0.2 Canada

Hi I've tried to change my Build. I'm currently using Android Revolution HD. I've got the kernel the program came with - android-build. I have tried changing it over to a whole of builds. AOKP, Gummy
It never successfully launches any of them.
Every time I wipe data, cache and I wipe Dalvik too.
I don't know what to do...
Is there any one who is on Rogers that can do this?
Thanks guys

Don't really make sense??? Try to also format system in recovery ( it won't touch ur personal stuff ) then do all the other wipes then try flash another Rom if that don't work I.got nothing, if u can't figure out there's always fastboot stock Google .img

Can you provide a step-by-step instruction on how you tried to update your Galaxy Nexus ? I'm not on Rogers (I'm on TELUS), but still, maybe we can help you and see if you are following the right path !

You're not doing something right if you can't get another ROM installed.
Do this.
Make sure ROM and Gapps package for that ROM is on your SD card
Reboot into recovery
Wipe data
Wipe cache
Go to Advanced, Wipe dalvik
Go to Mounts and Storage, format system, and cache
INSTALL ROM based on 4.03
Install Gapps
Reboot and Enjoy

I would back your phone up before doing this. Formatting your system deletes the operating system.

Correct. Listen to him and PLEASE make a back-up. I forgot to mention that.

Having a huge problem with my phone not wiping.

Okay, I was on AOKP M4 and I wanted to upgrade to M5.
So I backup everything and make a backup of my ROM. I wipe the phone and caches and flash M5 with the GAPPS, with the latest CWM touch recovery. When my phone reboots I notice I have the same wallpaper as before and when I unlock my phone my pin is still requested and all of my apps and settings stayed exactly the same. I was never asked to sign into my Google account and the start up/set up screen never came up. I checked to see if I even updated and yes I was on M5. Now the ROM isn't very fast or smooth and I get a lot of force closes and things not working properly.
I tried the whole process again with the CWM non-touch recovery, and again my phone did not fully wipe and all my apps and setting remained exactly the same.
I tried it again with the TWRP touch recovery, and again my phone did not fully wipe and everything was the same and my phone remains kind of slow and I'm getting a lot of force closes.
Why is my phone not fully wiping? What can I do to fix this?
I would really appreciate some help!

you need to wipe factory / data.
wiping cache and dalvik doesn't wipe "/system/etc etc etc"
1. Wipe Factory
2. Wipe Data
3. Wipe Dalvik
4. Flash ROM
5. Flash Gapps.
6. Flash Kernel
for full wipe.

Yes, that is what I'm doing. I'm wiping factory/data and I'm still having the same problem

Like with the TWRP recovery, I went to wipe, I hit factory reset, then cache, then dalvik cache and then flashed the ROM and GAPPS and all my apps and settings stayed the same. It was like if I had dirty flashed it. I don't understand what's going on.

***FORMAT /SYSTEM*** (under mount in CWM I believe)

What does that do exactly? Would I have to worry about my media and sd card being wiped?

Okay thank you, I guess this time in TWRP I'll do factory reset, cache, dalvik cache, and system and see if it works out

Okay, so I did factory reset, cache, dalvik cache, and format system.
I flashed M5 and GAPPS, rebooted and everything was still the same. My phone did not fully wipe.
I don't understand what's going. I'm so frustrated right now

I would do a factory reset, if that doesn`t help flash a stock rom and root your phone again. BTW don`t you have a nandroid backup to revert to

I have a nandroid backup, but that doesn't solve the problem of my phone not wiping.
I guess I'll unroot my phone and lock the bootloader and re-do everything to see. I don't understand why my phone isn't wiping correctly.

sometimes cwm just doesnt work with factory wipe. i've used it a few times now and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt. i have no idea why. you can try doing a factory wipe from the phone settings>backup and reset. ive only done that twice but it worked both times. if that still doesnt work just go with a fresh flash of google images using fastboot.

Init.d folders can only be wiped with a factory reset afaik, or manualy off course. By locking and unlocking the phone you perform a factory reset anyway, so i would flash a stock rom and start fresh. No chance on left files or scripts. You can do it with GNex Toolkit, option 8. Put the downloaded and not extracted .tgz file here C:\Galaxy Nexus ToolKit\put_google_factory_image_here and flash.

Thanks guys, I'll try that!

[Q] Quick Question About Full Wiping

Hey there,
Running CM10 on an AT&T Galaxy S3 and I want to wipe my phone to reinstall a fresh copy of cm10. Haven't done this too often so my question is,
In CWM, is it enough to simply Wipe Data/Factory Reset to achieve a full wipe, or do I need to format the phone? If I format the phone, would I need to re-root it again?

Get TWRP Recovery
Wipe System, data, cache, dalvik, factory reset (wont delete anything from Internal sd) and/or... format data (deletes internal and everything but not extSD but I recommend doing this format)
Then fresh install a ROM
This should hopefully fix all problems in the phone..

What recovery mode your using , Use TWRP, while installing rom , make sure you Wipe Cache, Dalvik Cache, and factory reset, and then install the Rom should be able to install it without any issues , Usually you get this error if your not following the OP instructions as mentioned please read the OP in how to install the rom.

[Q] Accidentally un-rooted my phone through /system format in CWM. Help re-rooting?

1. I stupidly selected "format /system" in CWM in preparation for flashing a new ROM.
2. Soft bricked my phone, put new ROM (slim bean 4.3beta) on SD card and flashed it successfully.
3. Everything works great, I still have CWM and slimbean is awesome but, I don't have root access. I don't know how to get it without reflashing everything (and at this point I don't know if that'll do anything)
Is there a simple way to permanently re-obtain root access? Thank you.

If it's a 4.3 ROM you'll need to flash chainfires newest su , don't have the link but you can find them throughout xda or Google search
Making the iPhone jealous one user at a time.

You can also go into settings development and enable root for apps and add on 4.3 the usually just add is enabled when first flashed on 4.3

I don't know why formatting system would soft brick? I always wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik, then go into mounts and storage and format system, data, and cache, just to be sure of a super clean install and I have never had an issue??

I'm not totally sure about it either to be completely honest. It was confusing so I just put a new ROM on my exsd and went ahead that way.
