Or you could download a toolkit which will do all for you no problem.

Wugfresh? Installed the drivers already but it still says some Error like boot.IMG cannot be found can't remember but when I click root it says that and at the end of it it says no error
Cannot load 'root\boot-insecure-.img': no error

Where can I get the boot.img?

Is there a easier way of doing this? I don't understand how rooting is the most diffcult part

Or Linux LiveCD.

Try mskip toolkit, I've never had problem with it. It should work correctly. The thing with WugFresh's toolkit is that it downloads mostly the needed components from goo and it has some problems at the moment. So yeah using mskip would be better I think.
Hope it helps.

Haven't run into this issue specifically, but you can try updating your Superuser binary whether it says it's up to date or not.
It's under the Tools menu in the SU app.
OK there was an update. I see one option failed? Is this important? What is it?

Mounting system as read only. Fail is okay.
Hi,
Maybe not a (your) solution but sometimes Superuser really sucks ,like many I have had problems with it so I switched to Super SU,no more issues

Could be a Rom Manager issue, does it do it any other time? I've never used RM personally so can't confirm.
It does it when I try and backup/restore and reboot in recovery. I Aldo tried restoring and it didn't have the md5 sums matched up.

Having the same issue
I feel ya buddy, I keep having superuser stop/crash while trying to do anything but flash CWM. Really annoying.
Running ICS 4.04 on GNex (Verizon)
ROM Manager hardly (if ever) works. I'm starting to regret having bought the premium version.
I've read a few places that rom manager and cwm don't 'get along' very well, that's if you're using cwm of course

If that is true, it's a damn shame, considering clockworkmod recovery and ROM Manager are both made by the same developer. (Koushik Dutta)

It isn't exactly a problem...
And non-native app will cause this.
Superuser is granting SU access to allow the phone to reboot.
So as soon as it's granted the process is killed...causing it to throw an error.
It isn't a problem.
Problem solved

The problem was that the reboot returned Andy on his back with a red triangle in his servicehatch, no matter what I did..
Your ultimate guide (awesome guide by the way:good gave me a hint that the problem wasn't with superuser, but with my flashed cwm. I manually reflashed cwm, reflashed superuser. I dumped the su.zip file I had used and replaced it with the file in your guide. A bootloop later, all is good and up and running
Now running CM9 and ADW.
Thx alot for your awesome guide, I will recommend it for everyone looking for the basics, like me.

[Q] Stuck in Google reboot boot loop on a Galaxy Nexus w/a Mac

I followed instructions on this site from another user on how to unlock and root my Verizon Galaxy Nexus. Unlocking was a success... as was Rooting. I continued to try to install Android 4.1 and my phone has been stuck in boot loop on the "Google" screen since 5 this afternoon. So no JellyBean and no phone. hahahaha... great.. help?
Can you get to your recovery
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
yes.
Then just go restore your backup and start over with fresh downloads
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Restore your backup. Or failing that, you may need to reflash 4.0 in the fastboot screen.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
I tried that and all I get is "Couldn't open directly" "no files found"
how do I reflash it? do I need to find 4.0 to download?
The easiest thing to do would be just downloaded the one nexus toolkit and use it to flash back to stock and then start over
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
shouldn't that all be in the toro file I downloaded?
Ya if you have a rom on there to flash other than jb use that but if not us this to get back to base

No os installed

Erased everything from twrp 2.20 now it doesnt get past the google logo it says i have no OS installed. Im rooted on 4.1.1 how can i install the OS???
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
you formatted the system partition.
i assume you formatted your SD card. so you have 2 choices
1) you download whatever custom rom you want on your pc and use: adb push locationofrom /data/media/
2) you use fastboot to restore to stock.

adding to that, adb only works in recovery. from fastboot, restart recovery, push a rom, flash it. no need to reflash stock images in this situation, imo.

There is the nexus toolkit that has all you need. Its stickied in the sprint section. You can flash a ROM through there.

Status 7 ( it mentions the SD card) when trying to update (toro) 4.1.1 to 4.2.2

Can anyone lead me to the correct solution?

I think status 7 means a problem with updater script. Maybe a bad download? Have you checked md5sum?

It mentioned that there was a issue with the sdcard I'm not able to post the picture of the screen at the moment . I have downloaded the 4.2.2 update zip several different times and it still won't work. I also wiped dalvick and cache and re installed the 4.1.1 zip and also the boot loader and radios but still I got the same status 7 error when trying to manually update 4.2.2.

no. you just need to fastboot flash the system.img from the stock image.
after the update, you would lose root anyways and would need to re-root. there is a handy android 101 guide efrant wrote you should look at.

ROM incapable to OTA

I am in 4.2.2 and tried many times to OTA update to 4.3 but it always failed.
Looking in the ROM Manager first screen says that my ROM is not set up to receive OTA.
There are no other options as these are for premium users of the app.
What can I do?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Flash it manually via fastboot.

Well I tried to do so using the nexus root toolkit by Wugfresh but it doesn't seem to work for 4.3 yet.
My other option is to download the file from Google and flash it with the Gal.Nex. toolkit.
As you see I am not very good with commands etc and I am trying to do it the easy way..

something isnt stock. it could be the radio, kernel, some system file you modified.

There are some system apps that I have deleted or freezed. It might be it?
In another thread here in xda I read that the device should be in stock recovery in order to accept the OTA update. Now mine is in clockwork mode.
Is this right?

Sigh. CWM doesn't stop otas, modifying /system does that.
If you removed system apps then that's your problem. You will never be able top install the OTA in any way
