Accidentally installed the newest Verizon radio on my Sprint Galaxy Nexus. I've tried writing back my old radio 3 times but I still cannot connect to 3G. WiFi and regular cell/texts seem OK. Any advice?

please dont use odin.
learn fastboot.
I've done fastboot in the past with terminal emulator. That will make a difference versus the recovery method?
Also, just curious about why not to use Odin? Never used it but wondering your reasons.

there is no real good reason to not use odin, some people just prefer fastboot and we should all learn it. you can odin back to whichever odin file is available then do manual updates to ga02 so you are on the latest radios. will start you over from complete scratch (wipes phone completely), so back up you storage before using.
zepius: that was a nice trolling post though, not helpful at all.
Odin isn't officially supported through Google. Even though this device is made by Samsung, and happens to have the options for Odin, there is no official support for it. Google provides images to be flashed via fastboot.
Besides, fastboot should already be installed and setup as it is part of the unlock/root process. So why someone would go out of their way to use Odin, when fastboot should already be setup and they should have some knowledge of how to use makes no sense to me.
The only thing I can think of that would make me use Odin, is if my USB port completely died and I wanted to get it back to stock.
flash the stock image from google using a tool kit or a terminal
and this should fix the issue but dont hold me to it
Anyone have a link for the correct image? Don't want to screw this up.

Was wondering when I get my galaxy nexus this Friday, can I root using the Verizon lte method? Or will it screw my phone up? Also putting roms on my phone, none will be compatible right? This thread is realty going to get confusing, with 3 different phones using it. Thanks

Do it the correct way and do not use a toolkit.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem unlock (this causes a data wipe and you must re-enable usb debugging)
download a toro recovery image locally to PC
download su.zip from link below to sdcard
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot recoveryname.img
flash su.zip from clockwork.
Rooted and rooted.
Or if you want it to be permanent, boot up after rooted and rename install-recovery.sh under system/etc.
Then go back to fastboot
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img
fastboot reboot

Verizon cases will most likely be perfect. No way to know for sure though.
Also, Sprint roms should be very easy to come out with. Depends on how complete the device tree for Sprint is on AOSP.
We will need a system dump for proprietaries though to get the ones Google will not provide.

Really wish they'd separate this section =/
GSM/CDMA is bad enough.
But yes, the method will work.
BUT you may need a new CWM.img...that hasn't been released yet (and won't be until someone gets their hands on the phone.
Either way.
Use the link stickied above.
Same link in my sig.
I'll keep it updated if it needs to be changed upon release.
Sprint will still be using Toro I believe.
Verison Cases
Got my Sprint Galaxy Nexus the other day. Just bought a rockfish case - stating it was for Verison GN. Just to let U know, as expected... The case fits perfect!!!
Awaiting patiently (not really) to get this new puppy rooted!~~~

ok I got a real good deal on a GNEX on CL and the guy said it wasn't rooted and smart me believed him. Well from what I can tell the bootloader is unlocked, and it is rooted because I ran root checker and it has superuser and wifi tether.It does not seem to have a custom rom on it The problem I see is that it seems to have stock recovery but when I go from the bootloader screen to recovery it reboots the phone most of the time after sitting on the image of the android guy with a red triangle over him. I plan on doing the JB OTA update when it comes out . At this state I am just not sure what I should do to make my phone not mess up in the long run. I was thinking unrooting and locking the bootloadder and re flashing stock recovery would be a good idea kind of starting from scratch. Please let me know what yall think and thanks for your time oh and I am on Sprint
Yeah just Odin back to stock you should be fine. Also you'll be waiting a long time for an OTA of jelly bean at least on sprint. We already have a port of the preview OTA that the gsm version got. Only thing doesnt work is MMS for obvious reasons.

U can come back to stock recovery without any problem u can use gnex toolkit u ll be fine i guess , However JB rom available now are also awesome it works great without any problem ,except some apps yet to be updated for JB update
Stay away from toolkits. You can Fastboot flash the .img for the stock recovery boot and rom it self.

No, Odin only works on windows.
There is no need for the SDK, all you need are the fastboot and adb files for Mac.
Look at the "flash" link in my signature. It has all the instructions on how to revert you device to stock. Mac-specific instructions are linked to a little further down.

Hi,
I have GNex for about 2 months now so I decided to root it. I did it ok and everything worked fine. But than
I decided to install custom kernel so I did it. Well after that I cant boot my Nexus, its stuck at its first boot animation
with white Google in a middle and little lock in a bottom. Only thing I can do is go to bootloader and acces recovery mod.
I tried to do pretty much everything in a recovery menu but its still not booting.
What can I do to restore stock rom with stock kernel or I dont know what can helps here. Pleas I will be realy greatful I am
a little bit noob to this
Reflash your ROM if you have any on your SD card. Also you can use a toolkit and flash the factory image.

My internal storage is empty, no ROMs or any factory images on it.
toolkit is a good idea but I dont have turned on USB debugging, isnt that problem?
But I will try
I don't think it matters if you are flashing the stock image. You can also Odin in a worst case scenario thing.

I understand the hatred for toolkits because it causes complacency but its extremely easy to fix a device using it. Everyone should know how to use adb but I have used both and they both have worked perfectly for me.

im sorry, but if you think typing a few commands in to flash the stock images is hard, you really are lazy.
I never said it was hard. What is your major grief with toolkits? How is using a toolkit any different than flashing someone else's ROM? You can compile it yourself but its much more efficient to just flash and go. This will be my last response unless the OP has any more issues he needs help with. Good luck with fixing your phone no matter what method you would like to use.

because when the toolkit fails, it fails hard and then the user of said toolkit has no idea how to fix anything and posts threads on here saying "i bricked my phone and used such and such toolkit"
the people helping them have no idea where to even begin to try and troubleshoot the problem as you dont know the failure point. the toolkit just says "complete" or "done"
that is my major beef with toolkits.

I know bad idea, i seem to still be able to get into Download mode(a phone on one side with some dots in the middle and a computer on the other see attached pic) and odin recognize's it, i found the stock 4.1 build on rootzwiki with the pit and it fail's after flashing the radio, I cant seem to find an OMAP guide for the VZW Nexus. i found this

unfortunately no, I tried that quite a few times, got the script to run, but still can't get into download or fastboot, and adb wont recognize either way.

Can you tell me specifically what program to use and firmware to flash? It's been several years since I've had to do anything like this.
If you have twrp, just flash from it. If not, use Odin to flash twrp first, and then you can picj any room you fancy
