Unrooted my sprint GNexus downloads the 4.2.1 update then goes to install it and installation aborts and you see the android with the red triangle. I tried to hard reset it like 10 times and used wugfresh's nexus root tool kit and still no luck please help..

Make sure boot loader is locked

In short. You have to make sure you have the stock system on your phone. Including radios and recovery. Both radios should be FH05. If not it will keep failing.

The boot loader is locked.

Where do I get the zips to flash?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app

Boot loader does not need to be locked. It does not interfere with ota updates. However make sure you have the correct system.

I got the factory image 4.1.1 off the Google development site and ran wugfresh's program.

Like I said you might need to manually flash the FH05 radios. Make sure that under settings/about phone the base bands both have FH05 on them

It says L700.05

I think it's because you're using the fc12 base band instead of fh05...

Mine will not update either... I get the red exclamation point also... I'm completely stock and used the Toolkit to return everything to stock image.

Read post above....u need original radio.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Here is the flashable for the FH05 radios. If you need the .img files only Im pretty sure you can just pull them out and push them.

I get the radios back to FH05 and now I can't find the update through my phone! I try searching for an update and nothing happens. Guess I have to wait for it to come back to me again.

Thank you everyone I'm glad people on here help each other out I fixed it

Just got a gnex

So I just got a nexus yesterday. Today I tried using the toolkit to unlock bootloader, root and write recovery.
So I did everything in the instructions and it worked....at first.
Now when I try and boot into recovery I get the fastboot android guy with a red triangle.
I also get a "fastboot read error".
Can anyone shed some light on this?

don't rely on toolkits
So just reflash a recovery.img and then flash this : http://db.tt/Ec8NOJLX
Fastboot flash recovery example.img
Once in recovery flash the zip and done.

Oh sorry. Was away and thought someone would have chimed in. You should be able to use any fast boot... I think. I just used the ones from the SDK.

afaik, fastboot is no longer available in android sdk (r13 was the last to have it).
also, i'm not sure htc uses the same fastboot binary.

it was the GSM version.
neither the vzw or sprint ones have the JB OTA yet.
I'm curious as to who's going to get it first.
No.
And we're not sure how long Sprint will take.
But, since you're an xda member it'll be very easy for you to flash a perfectly stable 4.1 ROM.

Are you rooted or stock? If you're stock, I would root as and flash instead of waiting on Verizon. You might be waiting a while if you're waiting on them.

I'm stoke still. I want too root so I can run code name android ROM. I really like it. But my computers broke right now. So I guess I'll just have to wait then.

no need to root; push all needed files to phone, reboot bootloader, flash a custom recovery, wipe data/factory reset, flash a custom rom (gapps if stated on first post)
To my SD card or something?

learn adb/fastboot and flash downwards back to 4.2.2 using factory images from google
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#
I tried it but I got confused can you tell me in a simple way how to use the fastboot directly as in all articles they have things related that should be done from different atricles as I only need the steps I would appreciate it a lot if you tell me what exactly should i do
