I'm new to Xda and rooting my phone. I recently attempted to root to Android Jellybean 4.2 ROM for the Galaxy Nexus and through the process, I accidentaly deleted the Android Operating System. Not only that...I my computer is no longer able to detect ADB. I am hoping that someone will be able to help me reroot the stock image operating system and help my computer dectect ADB.

I'm sorry. I'm a bit confused right now. I have the universal driver insttalled - what's the fastboot driver? And it seems that my phone does not like to stay in fastboot. I really appreciate your help.
the universal driver contains the fastboot one.
what do you mean it doesnt like to stay in fastboot? its the bootloader...

you didnt even bother to read the link i posted....
that has all your answers. go read it.
Using the Nexus tool kit all you need to do is make sure you have a good copy of the stock Verizon os downloaded from the Google site (JRO3C0) or whatever it is. Then connect your phone with it powered down. Select the option saying the phone will not start (bricked) and select unroot with factory image and follow the prompts. This will unroot your phone and flash the stock Verizon os. After that I would re-lock the boot loader, disconnect your phone and pull the battery with it still on. After you power it back up you can enable debugging and unlock and root again. Sorry if I called the steps the wrong name as I do not have my computer with me and cannot look directly at the wugfresh tool. Hope this helps out.

4.0.3 is on halt at the moment.
4.0.2 is latest GN OTA
use a custom ROM (such as AOKP) to get 4.0.3 now
Interesting why i don't get the 4.0.2 then, anyway what are the changes in this one?

Are you on a yakju build? https://market.android.com/details?...SwxLDEsImRlLmNicnVlZ2cub2ZmaWNpYWx1cGRhdGUiXQ.. use that to check.
If you're not on a 'yakju' build, this may explain why you haven't received the OTA yet.
You can take things into your own hands,
1) Convert your non-yakju device to yakju by fastbooting stock Google images (you can do it to 4.0.2 as well).
Link: http://code.google.com/android/nexus/images.html
2) Flash a custom ROM on 4.0.3 base such as AOKP.
Changes are..... go google it.

Fastboot doesn't but unlocking Fastboot does erase everything so be sure to make a proper backup before doing that.... Or you just wait until Samsung releases the 4.0.2 OTA...
Edit: Oh..., unlocking Fastboot is nescessary for rooting the phone, and that is needed for flashing Yakju in stead of Yakjuxw... There are multiple threads around this forum on how to do that...

It's basically no problem if you ar eon Yakjuxw. It just means that your updates will come from Samsung. Fastboot is just the standard bootloader and gives you some boot options. It is standard accessible through the phone, booting by pressing Volume Up+Volume Down+ Power all at the same time. In order to flash a different ROM (for instance Yakju build) you will have to unlock fastboot (yes that will erase everything).

Ok... If your GNex won't connect to your PC through USB you might have a different problem. In order to flash Yakju or any other rom you need to be able to connect to PC first in order to unlock the bootloader. To my knowledge there is no way doing that directly from your phone.
To connect your Gnex to your PC you will need the ADB/Fastboot drivers. I myself used the MSKIP tool that you can find here: Mskip Tool You can install the drivers for an USB connection from the tool and it is explained there how you can see if the phone is recognised and connected. From there on it is pretty much self explaining with the tool. I think you might even turn your phone into a Yakju build by using the menu option "Extract and Flash Google Factory Stock Rom". Off course you'll have to unlock the Fastboot bootloader first.
The post rom MSKIP is pretty clear so it might give you all the info you need from here....
Good luck

You did not setup the drivers correctly. Once the phone boots into the bootloader there is an additional driver that needs to be installed. I forget the exact one but it is included in the toolkit. You probably have some unknown device in your device manager that you need to install the included drivers for in the WugFresh toolkit.
I had the same issue when I first started.

Download PDAnet and install it. This will solve the driver issue. Your issue is that your computer is not recognizing the phone as an ADB interface.
I was having the same problem and corrected it by plugging my phone into the USB port on the back of my PC rather than the one on the front. You can also contact WugFresh for assistance if you still can't figure it out. I had to follow the instructions on manually installing the drivers to my PC.

You gotta install adb driver for Nexus. For my computer, when I enabled usb debugging, it downloaded the driver for me (odd enough) but if your computer doesn't do that, you can Google around to get the exe file for you to install. Just make sure the Nexus has usb debugging on, or it doesn't let you install the driver (from my experience)

So you got everything stock except the ROM? So you got stock recovery and everything? If you do, first of all, download the stock rom from google site (there should be few versions, that, you gotta find it out) then you need to download clockwork mod recovery (assuming that you got fastboot and adb) now just boot into cwm on your phone and flash the stock rom. By doing this, you're not over writing the recovery but you can still use the cwm
Also you gotta unlock first lol

When you are booted into bootloader but a "fastboot devices" does not list your device, it's almost always caused by having installed either no driver at all or the wrong one. Use the naked driver, follow the link in my signature to find it.

What you see is the stock recovery. Android will flash it back automatically even after you've flashed a custom recovery. To prevent this, you must either rename/delete /etc/install-recovery.sh OR rename/delete /system/recovery-from-boot.p.

Can you boot into fastboot? (Hold the power button and both volume buttons). I would boot into fastboot and reflash the Stock images. Also want to specify which variant you have.. GSM or CDMA if CDMA, verizon or Sprint?
Factory reset from stock or a custom recovery will not wipe the system partition. If you formatted the system partition from a custom recovery you can boot back into the custom recovery and adb push a ROM to your sdcard
Install the drivers on the computer. Then put the phone in fastboot mode like uber mentioned. Then push the rom to the phone and flash it in recovery. If you didnt install a recovery either, youll need one of those too.
Yeah hard to tell by her post if her bootloader is unlocked or not. I didnt think it was possible to wipe system without unlocking the boot loader and flashing a new recovery. Which means she needs knowledge of fastboot to even set that up.
The more i read the OP the more it sounds like unless she bought a used rooted phone off ebay. This thing is stock and just needs to boot to stock recovery and perform a factory reset from there. And that her system is fine.
With then phone off, hold down both volume buttons. Then hold down the power button, once it boots , use the volume keys to cycle and the power button to select. Navigate to recovery and perform a factory reset.

Plug in your phone via USB, in Fastboot mode.
Does it show in the device manager? It might not be called 'Galaxy Nexus', might be called something Fastboot related. It might be in the USB section.
XP:To open Device Manager, click Start, and then click Control Panel. Click Performance and Maintenance, and then click System. On the Hardware tab, click Device Manager.
7: Hit windows key, type in "Device Manager"
If there's a yellow triangle next to the device, the drivers on your PC may be not working correctly.
If it is working correctly, the easiest option is to load the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit, and flash stock ROM.
You installed the drivers as mentioned I take it?

I can boot into fastboot and clockworkmod recovery, but the SD storage is blank. The computer won't recognize the phone. I can't seem to fix it and it's driving me crazy not having a phone. Please help!!

[HOW-TO] [GSM & CDMA] Convert to latest yakju/takju/mysid (incl JB) / Return to stock
Take a look at step A. Install the drivers. Note you should also be able to set up the adb drivers while your phone is booted into a custom recovery.
follow the instructions here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
Install the drivers, then flash the stock image in fastboot, nothing to it.

THIS. IS. NEXUS.
Ash just install the drivers for the galaxy nexus, download a rom like aokp (the "maguro" version is the gsm version. Dont flash "toro" versions those are for cdma ) and then push it to the sd card using fastboot. All those steps are listed in a lot of posts in great detail by the author mskip and are stickied in the dev section here. Just read his posts for questions or drivers . Its all pretty straight forward once you read the right posts. Id avoid using any toolkits though, its all fairly simple stuff. And dont worry about the geeks here being surprised about seeing females. Some of them have never left the basement before. ( no offence guys , i got no problem with the homosexuals )
