If anyone can tell me how to pull it, I'll pull and post tomorrow.

That is a link to the stock recovery from ITL33d.
I have confirmed it can be flashed in fastboot to get back stock recovery after a failed attempt to load CWM.

What about ITL41D which is the more common retail version? Presumably it would need to be this for warranty purposes?
By the way, there is a post in the GN Developer section about "Insecure Boot.img" - which is a modified ITL41D boot image. According to that thread, modifying one value in that file will make it back to stock again but I cant figure out how to mount it and edit it as Im not a linux guru.

Would any of these help?

Take it will wipe the phone

Just tried Peter Alfonso's but it says theres no android-info.txt in the zip when there is :/

If its just the recovery.img you are after, extract from the zip then do fastboot boot recovery.img to test booting into it. If you are happy it works, you can do fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

These commands wrt recovery.img do not wipe the phone but doing the whole system thing will. Please note someone elsewhere said they got into a bad state using peter alfonsos system.img so beware.

Superwiped without rom

Hi!
I think I may have bricked my phone. I superwiped but I forgot to put a ROM
so now I have nothing on my phone.
Can I flash a ROM from my computer to my phone?
Thx in advance!

Flash a stock image using the Google images, then you can re-flash a custom one

If you still have cwr, mount USB in cwr, put a rom on there, flash from. If you don't have a recovery, you should be able to adb push the recovery file and flash through boot loader, then mount USB in recovery, copy rom to phone, flash.

+1 What he said! /\
look at thread that has the odin stock rom

If you're a n00b then why on earth did you unlock the phone in the first place? Surely you should've researched what you were doing in case something like this happened?

all is very easy to fix
1. Change ROM name to rom.zip
adb shell
mount /data
exit
adb push rom.zip /data/media
Now reboot into recovery and flash ROM.

Its all in here

This has helped me out twice already, and its where the factory images will be when the OTAs start, so of you're impatient and want them as soon as you can get them here

I think we need to put up a sticky again explaining what "brick" means.

Did adb work before? Sounds like the drivers aren't installed properly
And if you are trying to use the images from what I linked earlier you need to be in fastboot not adb

ota update issue

Hi guys I'm trying to get my nexus updated to JB. I am on 4.0.4 rooted using the toolkit. I have flashed stock recovery back to the phone using toolkit. I'm getting the attached error. Any ideas anyone?
Thanks

step 1) STOP USING A TOOLKIT!
step 2) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895

Well first of all, I definitely don't recommend you using toolkit. Using it has higher chance of bricking your phone.
It seems like you might have to boot into the clockworkmod recovery and from there, flash the zip. It's faster than the way and also doesn't give you those kind of headache

Hi guys when I say toolkit its the specific gnex toolkit. I thought this was a well received method for rooting - no?

Are you sure you flashed the right stock recovery for your phone?

Ya definitely flashed right stock recovery. It's very easy using the toolkit.

so is fastboot
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img

I've used the toolkits and fastboot on 3 different gnex's and not had problems either way. If you fastboot incorrectly as well it's possible to brick your phone right?

well yeah if you fastboot the wrong recovery, but if you typo the command, it errors and wont flash it.

The OTA failed not because of your recovery but because of /system/usr/keylayout/generic.kl not being stock or missing.
You can either find that file and push it back and then run the OTA hoping that's the only file you modified.
Or flash the stock JB image following the link Zepius posted in the 2nd post.

I used this thread to help me update to JB when the OTA wasn't showing up for me (I was impatient).

Nope. Odin yes. Fastboot no.
OP: And as El Daddy said you (or one of your root apps) prob changed something related to your keyboard, so you need to replace that file with the stock one.

I can't agree more! This is literally the third straight post I've read with an issue that started with 'I'm rooted using X toolkit...'

In general section, there's wugfresh tool (Nexus ToolKit).
Download it and you just check, nexus is bricked+revert back to stock, click on it!
Let it do the magic! Done!

It's been a while since I installed a complete factory image but I'm pretty sure the no signature is normal and the install should start back up. Give it a few seconds it will continue! ; )

Yes, you can.
fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img

FWIW, one can also boot (as opposed to flash) twrp if one wanted to keep stock recovery.
fastboot boot recoveryname.img
But yeah, if all you need to do is restore /system, just pull it out of the devices factory images and use fastboot to flash system.img.
