Never buy a phone off craigslist without powering it on and checking it out. There's no telling what could be wrong with it.

Does it boot to recovery? If so, clean wipe and flash another ROM. Maybe the installed ROM in /system is bad, so a factory reset (which I believe only wipes /data and /cache, not /system) isn't enough. If no custom recovery is installed, try flashing one from fastboot. If that doesn't work, contact the seller.
Craigslist is probably the sketchiest way to purchase phones from other people. Use Swappa!

Before you start fastbooting, do you have drivers and the Android SDK installed on your PC?

Assuming you have all required files. Change whatever file name and extensions you need.

You need to download the Verizon Gnex Images (Toro) from HERE
EDIT: Unless you are on Sprint or GSM, download those images.
After downloading, extract the zip file and then dig through until you see another zip file. That's going to be the stock factory system image with other important image files. Extract that zip file to the platform-tools folder in the Android SDK folder.
Next you're going to need to use those commands mentioned above to fastboot them.

Hi, I ask that because the "+"volume buttom of my phone was broken, so that my phone can only boot into the Odin mode/download mode.
Also, my phone can't boot normally becase I flash something wrong so it got a bootloop, so how can I get in the cwm if I just have the Odin mode/download mode? Thx!!

No he cannot.
@OP: There is no way to get to recovery (that I know of) without either a) being able to boot into Android, or b) having access to the bootloader.
EDIT: You can try an Odin flash to flash all the stock images, and then go from there.

You can try removing the userdata image from the odin .tar. Assuming your bootloader is unlocked, flashing the other images should leave you with your data intact. Note that you will need to wipe data from within CWM if you flash a version of Android (without the userdata image) via Odin that is different than what you are currently running, otherwise it will not boot. But at least you will have whatever is on /sdcard.
No guarantees that it will not wipe /sdcard (as I have never tried it), but based on what I know, it shouldn't.
Yes, Odin will wipe everything. I have the sane issue currently with my volume down key, but luckily no software issues.
I'm wondering if this busted volume key thing is a common occurrence, or if you and I just got lemons. Gonna have mine looked at tomorrow.

It should NOT wipe everything IFF: 1) your bootloader is already unlocked, AND 2) you remove the userdata image from the .tar.
So now I download the stock images from google and flash with Odin MODE?

No, the images need to be packed into a .tar so that odin can flash them. What version of Android are you running?
Chainfire has IMM76D images here, and there are some JRO03C images as well somewhere. In order for you to be able to boot without wiping, you need to flash the same version of Android that you are currently on, or add CWM to the package (renamed to recovery.img) so that you can wipe data. Otherwise, you will not be able to boot. Follow the instructions carefully -- make sure you do not have re-partition checked.

You need to make a .tar using the boot and system images from JRO03C. I don't think there is one already pre-made.
1) Download the JRO03C factory image corresponding to the build that you are running (yakju or takju), and extract the system.img and boot.img files.
2) Download CWM 5.5.0.2 and rename it to recovery.img.
You should now have 3 images: system.img, boot.img, and recovery.img. Next is to package them for use with odin. This needs to be done either 1) on a linux box, or 2) on a Windows PC running cywin, or 3) on your phone (I believe).
Code:
tar -H ustar -c system.img boot.img recovery.img > ODIN_JRO03C.tar
md5sum -t ODIN_JRO03C.tar >> ODIN_JRO03C.tar
mv ODIN_JRO03C.tar ODIN_JRO03C.tar.md5
Now you should have one file ODIN_JRO03C.tar.md5 which you can load up and flash with Odin. Follow the instructions in Chainfire's thread that I linked to earlier.

fastboot flash recovery "name of recovery file" (be sure to include extension)

Nevermind..all it seems to do is add an extra step and if I have to boot to recovery anyway I might as well stuck with what I have right?
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:

It Still operates on my cm11 rom but I can't back up or re store anything. I'm not quite sure what to do Now, with my galaxy s4 i could Just Odin back to stock and start from scratch. Is there anything like that I can do to fix this?
Sent from my SCH-I545 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Try to reflash the new recovery. If it still dosent work, flash back to the old recovery version and see if it works. Remember to do " fastboot erase cache " each time before fastboot flashing a recovery.
And yes you can "start over" like odin so to speak, its caled an ruu.
Yea so further testing and fix attempts have failed... When I run fastboot commands such as fastboot format system or anything to erase the cache it Just says failed every time. When I go in to the recovery it can't mount the system or anything. And now it is Just sticking at the HTC screen. Pretty sure it soft bricked (Thanks clock work mod). How would I go about this ruu?

Sent from my SCH-I545 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
You need adb and fastboot setup on your pc. Put the zip file in the same folder with adb.exe and fastboot.exe. Rename it to something easy like ruu.zip. Then open a cmd prompt to where the files are located. Connect the phone and boot into the bootloader (hboot). Type in the cmd window
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Then do
Code:
fastboot flash zip ruu.zip
It may fail and say something about flushing if so run the second cmd again. Once it shows done in the cmd window, type
Code:
fastboot reboot
You should then be complete stock JB. Do the initial setup and it will prompt you to take the KK ota.
Will i Still be s-off and unlocked once i finish this? Before the Ota of course
Sent from my SCH-I545 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Yes you will still be s-off and unlocked even after the ota. Remember that the ruu wipes all your data, so make sure to back up your sdcard contents to your pc, such as pics, downloads, backups, etc.

I'm unable to back anything up because I can't get the phone to boot past the HTC screen with the red text. It can't mount system, data, or cache. The only thing I can do is boot into fastboot or the CWM recovery that bricked my phone to begin with. Also, I'm attempting to download RUU from the link you posted, on a 20mbps connection but it says 4 hours to download. Do you know of any mirrors I could try? I can't seem to find any through google.
Not that i know of. I will make one, but its gonna take 20 or so to upload to the server.

Hi XDA,
my brother got his GNex wet and gave it to me. I took it apart entirely and let it dry overnight, I assembled it back together today but I can't get into the OS.
Bootloader, Fastboot, Download-Mode, recovery and ADB sideload all work fine but if I want to boot into the OS it just keeps rebooting at the Google-logo with the little lock at the bottom.
What I've tried so far:
Reflash the stock ROM via the Nexus Root Toolkit
Repartition and reflash stock ROM via Odin
Flash CyanogenMod in CWM
I've tried all of the above multiple times, I can't get it to boot.
Could it be that the internal memory is defective? If so, is there any tool that I could use to test it? Can I partiton "around" the defective parts?
Thanks for your time and help.
