Hi,
Yesterday I updated a Galaxy Nexus from PA 4.44 to 4.45. I did it through the CWM recovery version 6.0.4.7, downloading the zip to sdcard:
1. wipe cache and dalvik
2. install zip
3. wipe cache and dalvik
4. reinstall the franco kernel
On boot I got the Google logo and after that only a black screen. I removed the battery, booted to recovery and wiped again cache and dalvik, did a factory reset but this did not solve the problem.
I have then downloaded the google factory image and restored the phone.
My hypothesis are:
1. the PA zip file was corrupted
2. the CWM recovery is not good
Now the phone is again with PA, but first I installed the TWRP recovery.
Do you have an explaination to this?
Thank you!

I have read on several threads that TWRP is better thank CWM, from now on I won't use anything but TWRP!

i have a unlocked & rooted galaxy nexus....i flash the rom open kang build 22 & flash the gapps 4.0.4 after i rebooted. i stocked in bootanimation & hang up & appear the google logo, always like that...cannot start.....HELP please....
Wipe and reflash the ROM then Gapps, then boot.
Did you do a full wipe. Wipe factory/data, cache partition and in the advanced menu wipe dalvik cache. Then flash rom and gapps
After you flash the rom, wipe data,cache,dalvik and flash gapps. You cant just flash rom than the 4.0.4 gapps you will get the bootloop.
i already do full wipe & still the same problem?
1. Wipe data
2. Wipe cache
3. Wipe dalvik cache
4. Flash ROM
5. Flash Gapps
6. Reboot

In addition to doing what Eddy says, re-download the rom and Gapps.

I always flash like that never have a problem. Never reflash after flash. Try to flash another ROM OP to see if it was the ROM or not.

Hi I've tried to change my Build. I'm currently using Android Revolution HD. I've got the kernel the program came with - android-build. I have tried changing it over to a whole of builds. AOKP, Gummy
It never successfully launches any of them.
Every time I wipe data, cache and I wipe Dalvik too.
I don't know what to do...
Is there any one who is on Rogers that can do this?
Thanks guys

Don't really make sense??? Try to also format system in recovery ( it won't touch ur personal stuff ) then do all the other wipes then try flash another Rom if that don't work I.got nothing, if u can't figure out there's always fastboot stock Google .img
Can you provide a step-by-step instruction on how you tried to update your Galaxy Nexus ? I'm not on Rogers (I'm on TELUS), but still, maybe we can help you and see if you are following the right path !
You're not doing something right if you can't get another ROM installed.
Do this.
Make sure ROM and Gapps package for that ROM is on your SD card
Reboot into recovery
Wipe data
Wipe cache
Go to Advanced, Wipe dalvik
Go to Mounts and Storage, format system, and cache
INSTALL ROM based on 4.03
Install Gapps
Reboot and Enjoy

I would back your phone up before doing this. Formatting your system deletes the operating system.

+1 :good:
Note to OP: Don't flash Gapps if it is included already in the ROM you installed.
after flash i wipe the cache/dalvik. I think it is the option after you flash in twrp.
Thanks for your answers
Guys,
Need your help. I am unable to install any Android 4.3 ROMs in my G Note II. I have tried PA 3.99, ProBam 4.4.1, etc. but all of them getting stuck right at the boot animation screen. Here is my status and what I've already tried:
CWM Touch Recovery v6.0.3.5 (latest one available with 4.3 support)
Tried Android Revolution HD Super Wipe Script
Tried Factory Reset + Wipe Cache Partition + Wipe Dalvik Cache
Tried formatting Internal Storage
Tried the method: Factory Reset + Install ROM + Clear Cache/Dalvik + Install GApps + Clear Cache/Dalvik
Tried multiple wipe cache + wipe dalvik cache combinations as suggested in forums
Still no dice. I am stuck at the boot animation screen. If I install any 4.2.2 or 4.1.2 ROMs, all goes perfectly fine.
I had installed a 4.3 ROM previously, then reverted back to 4.2.2 for stability. Now I want to try 4.3 ROMs since they are much more usable now.
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

It looks like you need to include a wipe of system partition when you perform the full wipe procedure, or as just recommended using philz recovery, use the wiped data/factory reset: Clean to install a new rom.

I got nandroid backups taken using CWM. I believe, if I move over to Philz, I might loose the ability to restore them, right?
No other method to do this using CWM? I can try formatting /system if required.

AFAIK PhilZ recovery can restore CWM backups. To be sure you can create a new Nandroid backup after installating PhilZ recovery.
(TWRP is the best for me )
Anyway do you flash a custom kernel or a mod/theme?

Nope, I never go for customer kernels or themes. Happy with default kernels.
I see.. Lemme try Philz recovery and wipe the system and retry installing PA 3.99.

That worked! I installed Philz recovery and used the "Clean to install a new rom" option under "wipe data/factory reset".
Basically, I had to wipe the /system partition. I was under the impression that it was /sdcard. But now in love with Philz Recovery with all those options, along with the goodness of CWM Recovery.
Thanks a ton for all who helped!
Happy for you
hi,everyone.
i've just tried to install cm11 in my galaxy nexus and it cannot boot on now
its installation is fail because status 7 in the cwm recovery
i still cant boot on my phone
can anyone help me
What version of CWM Recovery are you on? An update of the recovery to a newer build might help.
Break me off a piece of that Kit-Kat ROM!
What version of Android are you coming from? Anytime you are switching to a different ROM, especially from a JellyBean (4.3 or other) to a KitKat 4.4 ROM, you must do a clean wipe of your phone prior to installation. It sounds like you tried to do a dirty flash. Boot into recovery, and format data, cache, and dalvik cache, then try flashing the CM11 and Gapps.
If that doesn't work...try this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2302599

i am coming from the stock android 4.3 rom. I've tried wipe the data,wipe cache and dalvik cache.However,it just keeps saying installation error in the cwm touch recovery because of the status 7.
That method doesnt work for me. i still even cannot boot on my phone.how can i send it in again
OK, first you need to manually boot into your recovery by holding the volume up and down buttons at the same time and then pressing the power button. You should get into your bootloader and then be able choose recovery. I assume you have a backup...so just flash back to your stock android 4.3. Then once you are able to get back into your phone see if you can update your cwm. If updating you cwm turns out not to be the issue then go watch a YouTube video on how to fix the status 7 error. It basically involves copying the zip file you are trying to flash over to your computer and editing one of the files. Goodluck...let me know if this works.

check your baseband..you should be in the latest radio..mine is XXLH1..other rom required latest baseband..
Pretty sure it sounds like he is on an outdated version of cwm, status 7 errors can be signs of old recovery version. Fastboot flash the latest cwm.
