Please Help, Cannot WIPE! (Video)

Hey XDA. I am on 4.0.4 AOKP M5. My problem is that when I was on AOKP M4, i wiped cache, dalvik and factory reset to install M5. When the GNEX booted, nothing was deleted, I didnt have to start over, txts were there, apps and music was there. Shouldn't it have been deleted and started fresh?
What am I doing wrong? Please help, any suggestions are welcome
Here is the video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IyVPojN-RA
Video is hard to see, sorry. The first part is just me verifying the .zips for the rom are there.
*I tried to use wugfreshs toolkit to unroot and lock the bootloader so I could essentially start over but im on 4.0.4 and the factory img is a 4.0.2 so It came up with errors
* edit, thanks for msedek I am now unrooted with a locked boot loader. Will root later on!

Any help is appreciated

Some times you gotta wipe several times 2 or 3 it wont Hurt, before flashing the ROM.. Go ahead and wipe factory reset with CWM and also dalvik cache as i said doit several times before flashing the zip

Have you tried wiping via Fastboot?
Fastboot erase data
Fastboot erase cache

Ok so download and flash a stock google image and leave your phone as new again, then do all the root /install cwm again and then try to install aokp, i suggest you to use the toolkit from development section.. Thats what i use and works flawlessly

Which options do I use to do this? Please help
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA

0-put your phone in fastboot and plug to pc and open toolkit
1- Select your phone version
Meaning android gsm or cdma and its 4.0.1 4.0.2 4.0.3 4.0.4. It does not matter if it custom rom just matter if cdma or gsm and what version of android
2-install drivers if you dont have or if the toolkit does not recognice your phone in the list of attached files
3-once done with recognition use option 8 (donwload/extract/flash google factory inage)
4-Select 1 then if you are gsm go for 5 IMM76I for others get the lastest
5-after that go to the directory you installed the toolkit default is c:\Galaxy Nexus toolkit, open that folder and inside theres another folder called put_google_factory_image_here so the google file you just downloaded put it there, close that Windows and then back to toolkit use option 2 flash google factory image (dont not unzip the downloaded file)
Thats pretty much it
Then after you are done open again toolkit and use option 7 one CLICK FOR ALL in fastboot mode
When asked choose cwm touch since its the lastests versión and working kool wiht aokp m5

Day Old Nexus Bricked? Need Help

So I have had my galaxy nexus for less than 24 hours. I was transferring some files over and when I was done I had shut off my phone. Now every time I turn the phone it freezes in the boot animation. I managed to get into the stock recovery and do a factory reset, but still the phone locks up.
Can I reflash the stock image? I would have to do this with fastboot?

Yes. Check the stickies in the development forum there will be guides on how to flash good luck. If I wasn't on my phone I would attempt to help more but I can't get to a computer :/

I was thinking of using the toolkit in the dev section to load the stock rom. I can only get to fast boot on the phone but that should be ok? Correct?

Yes, fastboot should be all you need.

If you want to learn how to do it, instead of using a toolkit, try a doing it yourself by using something like this.

Well that sucked... Tried the tool kit to reflash the stock image and now the phone wont turn on at all. So I'm off to the store tomorrow to return it. I think the internal memory must of screwed itself when I was transferring files from my mac to the phone, as it would never boot after that. I have never had internal memory fail on a phone before...

Instead of using the toolkit try odin

Instead of using a toolkit or odin, use fastboot/efrant's guide like he told you to.

I can't get to recovery mode?

I can get to downloading mode but recovery mode, I get stuck on an Android logo lying down with a red exclamation mark. I had failed to convert to yakju through fast boot, I got stuck to Google logo back then and also no recovery mode. Then I tried the toolkit and everything is working smoothly except for the recovery mode. What should I do? How can I get that working?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

What I would do is use the tool kit in these forms to install the recovery it seems like you have lost your recovery , that's what happens when you lose your recovery you get the Android guy lying down. When using the toolkit make sure you follow the instructions exactly! If you don't it will default and you will lose recovery.
---------- Post added at 07:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:10 AM ----------
Also just a little bit of information in the toolkit you have an option to rename your stock recovery if you don't do this and use this option it will default in rewrite over your recovery the stock recovery .

Thanks!
Is there a risk of losing any data while using the toolkit to install stock recovery?
About renaming, I don't really understand. Do I need to rename the stock recovery I'm going to install? If I don't use the rename option, what do I lose? Could you please explain this part a bit. Thanks again!

Download the G nex tool kit I believe it's version 7.8 it explains everything just do some reading and what I mean about the recovery is the stock recovery has to be renamed for you to install a recovery or it will not work if you read the gnex toolkit it explains the whole thing. No you do not have to rename the recovery you're installing. The option to rename the stock recovery that comes with your phone is in gnex toolkit. I think it's option 3 maybe? Trust me read the notes that come in the toolkit is very easy!

You haven't lost recovery, that's just stock recovery, you need to remove the file that puts it back on every reboot (search or there's an option in the toolkit if you must) then fast boot flash Cwm or twrp and you are set

I have tried both "Installing Stock Recover" and "Renaming" and both got me to the same lying down Android with the red exclamation mark. What else should I try?

You need to do renaming then install twrp or Cwm recovery, stock recovery is useless to you, that's what the Android on its back is.

Why stock is useless to me? I don't want CWM, I want to have stock recovery, is there a way?

You can't flash anything in stock other than factory reset and allow the phone to self install OTAs..

I understand and I want to keep the stock recovery and to get it to work to be able to install OTA directly. How do I get it to work? I have to install CWM then I'd be able to switch back to stock? I'm lost

If you have the picture of the Android on its back, that's the stock recovery.

Just press volume down + power button, you will get the menu

Ah yes, that too. I had forgotten how to navigate the stock recovery

[Q]Phone Bricked?

Phone stuck on loading animation, but can get into fastboot and Clockwork mod recovery. Unable to flash a new images using toolkit or adb as device not detected, please help?

You don't have any backups?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

Bricking your Gnex is not a easy task.
Just download the wugfresh's toolkit and click the 'back to stock' button with 'can't boot up' checked. That's it all you have to do now is just wait for a couple of minutes.
And finally you'll have your Gnex back to life.

I do have a full adb backup but I can't see my device from my laptop.

[sarcasm]yeah yeah, your device is bricked[/sarcasm]

Have you tried usb jig? Gets your phone into dlmode.

NO. Only if you are REALLY bricked, cannot start bootloader, get into recovery, etc. That's actually quite hard to do. If you ever get stuck on the bootanimation or get bootloops:
1. Wipe cache and dalvik cache
3. If not working, re-flash ROM
4. If still not working, wipe data
5. If _still_ not working, go back to stock using any method.

Your welcome mate

[Q] NEED HELP ASAP, Deleted system

So i was about to flash the Cyanogen 10.1 ROM on to my phone when i accidentally wiped the system files off my phone. So i went to reboot and it said there was no OS installed on my phone and that SuperSU wasn't installed. When i try to boot it up it just sits at the google screen with the padlock icon at the bottom. If it makes a difference used TWRP (team win recovery project). I don't have a backup on my phone and i don't know what to do. I seriously need help guys. I'm desperate.... :crying::crying::crying:

Just flash stock

Push custom rom to sdcard via adb in recovery mode.
Or
Flash stock images
