[Q] CARBON - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Just installed this Carbon ROM on my Verizon Galaxy Nexus device and the load screen has been trying to start up for about 10 mins. any idea what could be going on and how I can fix this. Or is this normal for a new ROM to take so long to open?

Did you wipe data?

Unfortunately not before hand... now my phone isn't working correctly. its like in limbo, i can't get my google contacts or apps or anything.
whats a good way out of this?

Clean install. May need to flash binaries if trying to use 4.2.2 kernel.

Honestly I am very confused. Can I restore from the GalaxyNexusToolKit?

Thanks man! I actually found a very primitive way of doing it and my phone is working and looks absolutely gorgeous (but don't tell my girl I said that). I basically forced the gapps.zip file into my downloads from my computer into my phone and it fixed the issue. No harm no foul. Thanks y'all:good: !

[BOOTLOADER] primeLA03

bootloader LA03 from leaked 4.0.4 cdma build, i successfully flashed (via cwm recovery 5.5.0.4 & fastboot) to my galaxy nexus GSM.
NO changelog!
credits to whoever posted it in galaxy nexus general forums, i just took out cdma radio parts and removed toro & radio lines from updater-script.
warning: flashing bootloader IS dangerous! i am not responsible if you brick your phone, it worked on mine, who knows if it will work on yours.. i don't.
if you don't know why you should flash this, then DON'T!
zip md5: adf8cd5ea69e00d99769767a3b9fc630
flash via recovery or extract .img and flash via fastboot.

I meant that people had noticed..or from a Dev who had opened it up for a look. That's why I didn't ask for an actual change log lol usually people notice changes quite quickly such as improvements or decrease in performance

Flashing bootloader is always dangerous, method used is not important.

Thanks for your answers I downloaded it and md5 matches up so should be ok but do you know if this will be OK for 4.0.2 roms?

Bootloaders and Radios are independent of Android version. Go ahead.
Does it matter what bootloader you are coming from? Can this be flashed from 4.03?
Also, are there any benefits of flashing a new bootloader besides it looking different?

They're independent of ANYTHING. Go ahead and just flash.
New bootloader = stuff behind the scenes. Will never know unless it comes from Google, it's like flashing a BIOS.
I have no more battery drop after reboot with this bootloader, look like it have a new battery driver.

Probably none.
Could this have messed up access to the market, does anyone else notice that? Market force closes as soon as I click on an app.

I think I've narrowed it down to that though.. Would anyone have the previous bootloader as a cwm flashable zip? Am at work, no pc..
flashed it this morning ... no issue so far ... also market works :thumbup:
beamed in through my brain ...

What can I do?

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

Help rooted now Sprint Nexus will not boot

I rooted my phone and unlocked following an online guide. I installed ClockWorkMod 5.8.3.1 and all. I was trying to installed Perfect Android. Now when I boot I get a x with blue red yellow and green, the color hights going in a circle different places on the x but the phone never boots. Ideas?

More info please? What ROM specifically did you flash.. please link. Did you follow proper flashing procedure.
Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Wipe cache Partition
Go into mounts and storage and Format /System
Go into advanced and Wipe Dalvik Cache
Then Flash ROM and Gapps
Then reboot.
It does take a pretty good amount of time before it boots like 4-5 minutes 5 max if its any longer its stuck in a "bootloop"
First time stuck in boot loop. I installed the updated clockworksmod and worked fine now. Weird. Not sure what happen the first time, I had to recover from original backup and reinstall JB. This is Perfect Android 4.1.1
How do I get Google wallet to work tells me unsupported device now?

Got it back to stock using Odin, the OEM recovery doesn't work, I get a red exclamation point above the Android. How do I fix the OEM recovery?

Fastboot flash all the stock images, including the stock recovery. In this thread you can find the Odin files but also the IMG files to Fastboot flash;

My Google wallet let's me login and shows the correct balance but there is a grey bar at the top that says unsupported device. How can I get rid of that? When I select it, it tells me learn more and says my phone is rooted.

You can't. It doesn't affect anything and it still works perfectly. That is a warning because your phone is rooted, and it's a disclaimer in case there is fraud on the account the money market is not responsible. Don't worry about it

I'm rooted with stock recovery and received OTA. Before I proceeded with the install, I removed the one additional app I had placed in system\apps (I heard any mods in there may prevent successful installation of OTA). The install of 4.2.1 went fine. Although it seems I've lost root. I can no longer mount the system dir to put that one app back. Easy enough to re-root.

Just make sure you back up your internal storage if you need to unlock the bootloader again. I learned the hard way that this wipes all of your data.

Download titanium back up. Back up all app data. Make sure your on the latest clockwork mod or twrp. Wipe data factory reset flash mmuzzy 4.2.2 rom let apps restore from play store then restore app data from titanium back up and profit.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
You can, but will she even notice if its updated? I'd fastboot flash all except userdata.img, in your case http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895
so i can get the system img and boot img from 4.2.2 and flash it on her Gnex and itll work?

I think Titanium is your best bet... After I flash a rom I restore apps and data (not system apps) before I even sign into my Google accounts, it's never failed, I've have backups that I've used since Titanium came out, it's never failed me and I've never had any issues with it...

THIS!
Trust me ANY other custom ROM is usually ALOT better than pure stock, she will appreciate it mor as an update!
Any custom rom will have advantages over plain stock.
I also have a similar question. Is there any way to stay on stock unrooted 4.1.1 and get the 4.2 lock screen?
