[Q] Need help restoring non-boooting Nexus

Can someone link to a guide dealing with restoring a Nexus? It's stuck at the Google logo. I can get into bootloader mode with power+volume down, but it's not reacting when trying to navigate with the volume buttons after that.
I got a little bit tired of waiting for official firmware on my Galaxy S2 (even if CM was fun) so I got a Nexus yesterday - great price these days. It was the 4.0.1 yakju version as I'm in Western Europe.Unlocked and rooted with Root Toolkit v1.4 after which I wanted to install 4.0.4 using this guide. Got as far as flashing system.img and then the above happened.
All I want is to get back to working stock so that I can flash 4.1. Have no data on the device so a factory reset is no problem.
Much appreciated.

Just fastboot flash Nexus Factory Images if you have no problem with wiping your data. That's odd that your bootloader won't respond to volume buttons... I might say try reflashing the bootloader and recovery, but since your bootloader is acting up right now, I'd go to flashing the factory images first, and if that doesn't work, try reflashing just bootloader and a custom recovery.

Have a look at posts 1 and 2 in the "flash" link in my sig.
BTW, volume down and power is not the bootloader. You need to press volume up and volume down and power.

Perfect, that guide worked. Installed 4.0.4 and then 4.1. The root guide does not work on 4.1 however, but I'll find another one. Many thanks.
Do you know if the current 4.1 image is gold by the way?

Should be. If not, it should get an OTA update as well.

Nope, I follow it to the letter; CWM installs fine, as does Superuser, but I don't have root access after reboot. Any ideas are appreciated.

Perfect. Assuming the next Nexus is a nice step forward I hope to stay on this platform for a while.

Thanks, but the whole reason I got the Nexus was to get the pure Google experience, the latest updates, and to stop playing around with custom ROMs

stock, rooted, jellybean should be good for you then. bigxies jellybean rom in the development section should work out good for you. or you can try this flasable updated su https://www.box.com/shared/acb928d8edd41b91a6c9

That is because you didn't read what I posted above. You need to flash the file in post #2, not the one linked in post #1.

ok, technically it not, since JB isnt out yet. im using his original version 1, so its close to where stock would/should be. but, that is just a guess on my part since, again, there is no official stock jellybean. theres only the google i/o preview version

That's not really what I was trying to say: it is stock, but it's deodexed, which makes it not stock, and it won't be able to apply any future OTA updates.

Flashed with CWM-SuperSU-v0.92-mod which worked like a charm. I now have both Superuser and SuperSU installed, with the latter taking precedence, but I guess that doesn't matter.

Problem with Jelly Bean

Hi!
I have the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, with CWM installed and unlocked bootloader. The phone was originally yakjuxw but I've converted it into yakju. Well now to the problem, my phone found the Jelly Bean update but when I tried to install, it didn't work. Is it because I have flashed my phone to yakju or could it be something else? What should I do? How to install it?
Without root if possible.
Also, I have tried to install it through flashing but of course that didn't work either.
Thanks in advance.

You should be 'Fully' stock before you update!

phone with CWM installed will not able to update OTA successfully.:crying:

Thank you for your response!
However , I'm not so good at these things so what is "fully stocked"?
Thank you

You are probably missing the yakju radio. It must be xxla2. If its not flash that.

Would it work to uninstall CWM somehow then, if that's possible?

I have attached both the recovery and radio for the stock IMM76I version of yakju. You will need to flash them using fastboot.

So it doesn't work with CWM?
And do you know if it's correct that phones with CWM installed can't install Android 4.1?

No to the first question.
You need to be on stock recovery to install any OTA.

power.tuna.so from 4.1.1

Download one of the ****load of 4.1.1 roms in dev thread and extract it from there ?

Why is it not so good? I can send you mine if you want. Quite certain Google didn't change it in 4.2 and if you get the stock file nothing will likely change.

it has to be from 4.1.1, because i'm trying to upgrade to 4.2 and it fails due to mismatch of checksum, so it has to be exact

Not a major issue losing root and cwm if you have the bootloader unlocked....

if you have an unlocked bootloader you can flash the stock images via fastboot. don't flash all together. Flash the bootloader then radio finally the image(make sure you remove the userdata.img from the image.zip). this is exactly what I did and I now have 4.3 and didn't lose a single bit of my app data.

There is a [Q] tag, so it goes there.
And regarding OTAs, just wait for it, nothing major..

You're seriously asking this? I didn't know we had google employees in xda. Why not just download the flash able image from the Google developers website and save time from making a post that's useless. Also someone can't make an OTA. Only google can.

Can I do this from the phone only? I have no access to a usb cable or a computer, and I need to update completely from the phone.
Is that possible?

Yeah, I wait and I wait and I wait. =) That's why I asked about this method.
But also with the OTA, there is a chance that is will not work to flash since there might be some stuff I have done to the /system.
That was the case the for me with the 4.2.2 update, and I needed to use the Google Factory Image, and reset my internal memory and all that (I didn'n know about methods to NOT reset the internal memory then).
Strange there are no flashable .zip's that are complete stock with only some kind of root added. Just stock, that should work to update to next version, like 5.0, with OTA then. Or is there?
EDIT: I found this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2016452
Can someone please tell me if there was some new bootloader or radio or something like that, that I need to update more then using pure stock - odexed - UNTOUCHED?

[Q] Need help with my Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hello,
I have recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy Nexus which has build number JRN84D.
As far as I am aware, Google phones get first of the latest Android, but i cannot get past 4.1
The phone was meant to be new but came rooted and i cannot tell if it has a custom rom installed.
If i was to put it back to stock and unroot with Nexus Root Toolkit v1.7.1 what build number should i use?
Can i use YAKJU-MAGURO: Android 4.3.0 - Build:JWR66V?
Or is there another build i have to choose, if i can't do this can i unroot my phone another way?
Thanks
Found out my product is Takju
so would i be able to use TAKJU-MAGURO: : Android 4.3.0 - Build:JWR66V?

If you are POSITIVE you have a Takju device you would want - https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#takjujwr66v
This is the factory image for Android 4.3 on Takju.
Does your phone have a custom recovery like ClockworkMod or TWRP installed?

I downloaded Android System Info went into System and then build infos Product takju
and the fingerprint is also google/takju
I do not have Google Wallet though and i cannot download it.
No custom recovery installed just want it back to stock as i bought it new and when i received it i found out was rooted

Takju and yakju doesn't matter. Takju has google wallet pre installed and receives ota updates earlier. So you're safe to flash either one of them... I flashed takju on my yakju gnex and it works like a charm.

Don't use the toolkit. Learn and use the proper procedure. Using the toolkit is just inviting problems, problems that are hard to diagnose if the proper procedure isn't used.

Toolkits sound easy and friendly but for the sake of humanity, do not use them. I tried it out for sh*ts and gigs and I had a harder time figuring it out than using Fastboot. Avoid at all costs. Fastboot!
