So, I have a sprint galaxy nexus that will only boot to clockworkmod recovery. I can put it into download mode and Odin recognizes it I just need a rom to install from odin with. I was going to use cyanogenmod, but it came as a zip, which odin doesn't recognize. anyone have a link of what I can use?

as far as I can tell, I can not use flashboot because I dud not initially set it up before I had the soft-brick.
Run
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
Thos will wipe data and unlock the bootloader. (Odin will also wipe data.)
Then you can flash stock.

So, I held volume up, volume down, and power and went into fastboot mode. I used this to install fastboot on my desktop http://lifehacker.com/the-easiest-way-to-install-androids-adb-and-fastboot-to-1586992378
I typed in "fastboot oem unlock"
and now it just says "waiting for device"
Do you have the drivers installed?

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?

*sigh* Google it man....
From start to beggining:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader*.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-maguro-i9250xxlj1.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot format cache
fastboot reboot
Assuming you have all required files. Change whatever file name and extensions you need.

I sure hope so, he wont get anywhere without them.
He should have all of them but the fastboot one, which is pretty straight forward to install...

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.
I updated to the new cwm the other day and attempted to download and install vanir 4.3. The Backup froze midway so I restarted the phone. 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?

Bottom of second post. You want the 2.10.605.1 signed ruu.
What do I do with that once I get it? It's listed there but it's the only one with No directions Lol....
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.
No worries, thank you so much for your help!

Can anyone point me in the right direction? I'm trying to figure out how to root my 32g sprint galaxy nexus SPH-L700. Just looking for a guide I can't find one anywhere. Thanks in advance.

Flash custom recovery via fasrboot and then flash latest supersu via recovery.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
A little more direction than that please? Maybe a link to a walkthrough? Last time I had to flash a custom recovery it wouldn't root properly. I would rather have a walkthrough than brickb my phone.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
The galaxy nexus is very hard to brick..
1. Download a custom recovery from the clockworkmod site.
2. Boot into fastboot and type: fastboot flash recovery the-name-of-the-recovery-you-just-downloaded.img (for this to work you need to paste the downloaded recovery.img into the fastboot folder)
3. Boot into recovery and select "install zip from sd card" (assuming you already downloaded the lastest supersu.zip)
4. Flash the latest supersu and wipe both cache and dalvik cache.
5. Reboot and enjoy.

2. Place CM10 rom .zip file on the root of the SD card
3. Put the phone into fastboot mode:
Code:
fastboot reboot bootloader
4. Flash boot.img:

First unlock your bootloader if you already havent done so. Then extract the kernel from the cm10 zip or get another one and flash with fastboot. Fastboot mode can be entered from Flashtool menu.
