I would say look for a flash able stock 4.1.1 rom download it to your phone flash it and then u can relock the boot loader with an app. I forget what its called but saw it here or u can use terminal emulator. And there stock rom. Send it back. Problem solved.

Bootloader lock can be achieved by segv11's bootunlockr. Im thinking something like flashable rom 4.0.4 to 4.1.1 stock and odexed, then root without cwm via adbwireless and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1894717&highlight=root+without+unlock, bootlock via terminal emulator (preferred) or bootunlockr, use a file explorer like es to remove root.apk and su binary. I say preferred terminal emulator because im not sure how boot lock with bootunlockr would work once root has been removed. Just some ideas, would like to know how this works out for ya.
Are you sure the usb is gone? It'd be so much easier..

What's easiest way to get root back ???
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Right. Sorry for loads of posts. But have updated boot loader still has unlocked symbol and su app is still there but don't think its working.
CWM is gone along with root.
So do I need to use root toolbox again and start as if it was fresh again
Cheers for help

When you flash the OTA manually, you will lose your temporary CWM and your bootloader will still be unlocked (you want this).
Just follow the guides to re-root.
Is there even a way to do this my laptop was sent in for repairs and I just bought a sgs2 but its not rooted and I cannot stand stock. Please help will be very "thank"ful for any info. Searched stickies but was not successful.

you really have to flash cwm with Odin via windows. Maybe you could use adb to push super user app to your system forward slash app. But of course you need a PC for that as well... No I don't think you can easily root your sgs2 without a pc.

I wiped the sd card like a retard... and now don't have a rom to flash.
What do?
I can't find how to mount the sd card.
You have to adb push the Rom to your phone. Hopefully you have the android sdk installed, a quick Google search will provide you with instructions on how to push the file

You can adb from recovery?
You can also use fastboot to recover yourself

It looks like you can use the GNex Toolkit to flash stock rom from fastboot mode (option 9).

Are you getting payed or something man?
Why are you suggesting a toolkit, which will then use fastboot, to reflash a whole rom, a stock rom at that, when he has access to a custom recovery, thus he can get himself out of this mess and learn a thing or two about adb (adb can do more than just a simple copy operation).

you formatted the system partition.
i assume you formatted your SD card. so you have 2 choices
1) you download whatever custom rom you want on your pc and use: adb push locationofrom /data/media/
2) you use fastboot to restore to stock.
How can i use fastboot to restore to stock?

adding to that, adb only works in recovery. from fastboot, restart recovery, push a rom, flash it. no need to reflash stock images in this situation, imo.

There is the nexus toolkit that has all you need. Its stickied in the sprint section. You can flash a ROM through there.

adb is not the problem, your pc/windows is. adb is available IN recovery, not in bootloader, stop making that confusion jeez

With android u don't have to worry about anything if it's software based problem. Every problem can be solved here. We've got the best devs here that make everything is just possible. That's what iphone users can't have. They have to wait for apple for every fixes while we don't.

I am sure there is a flashable zip floating around out there somewhere. If not, you could make one yourself.
You could use terminal commands to flash it.
You could also use mobile odin.

Guess I'll have to do it the hard way then. I was just hoping for someone to read my question, and shoot me a link to a .zip... Lol. Guess that's lazy though. Downloading factory image from Google as I type.
