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

I am running AOKP JB and using CWM. Flashing updated roms of AOKP is fine but when i try to flash a different rom, (I've tried CM9 and 10, KyanRom, and paranoid android) i keep getting the same error.
i factory reset and wipe cache and dalvik but still no go.
any ideas of what i might be doing wrong or how to fix this?
Use Odin flash stock rom then boot into recovery wipe data and reboot done

That's an older version. You need the newest one, which is 5.8.4.7. Download the img file from the website and flash through android emulator.
Downloads: http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
How to install through Android Emulator on the device: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426
scroll down to the "Third, alternate if unfamiliar with adb commands" option and follow directions.
Beware that once you install this version of CWM, your previous nandroid backups will not work, as they will get md5 mismatch. If you want to go back to the older version of CWM, simply use the method you used when you first flashed CWM (via Odin). I experienced the same thing, so I had to do some research before I flashed CM10. Hope that helped!

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.

Yup, it's not there.
Problem with recovery being able to mount the partitions.
It won't mount anything, data, system, cache, internal or external sdcards
I've read post from a handful of people who, like myself, have gotten their phone very recently. All experiencing the same problem.
I've gotten root by flashing a stock rom thru ODIN with it already installed but I'm dying for my Vanilla Android, touchwiz is making me sick :crying:

There are some pre-rooted stock roms you can flash in Odin but that doesn't fix recovery. So if you can live with Touchwiz I'd check those out.

I believe you meant www.rwilco12.com.
I am also having a problem with all CWM versions I've tried on my two 3-day old Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3 phones. It doesn't matter which recovery (or version) I flash, nothing mounts so you cannot see the internal or external SD, cannot flash anything, cannot wipe anything, etc. This seems to be a problem with very new S3's with all custom recoveries.

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?

Yes, of course. Toolkit os flashing the userdata.img and erasing all. Then in recovery I try the factory reset but it keeps con bootloop...

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
