VZW CDMA Galaxy Nexus Bricked / Boot loops help

I own the VZW Galaxy Nexus , and I just unlocked the bootloader and now my phone will not boot-up. The device is stuck on the Google logo splash screen with the lock icon at the bottom of the screen signifying that the bootloader is unlocked. I used the program called Galaxy Nexus Root Toolkit v1.4 from Wugfresh to unlock my phone's bootloader, and now my phone is currently bricked. I can still go to the bootloader by holding down volume and power. Can someone help me restore my phone to a working state?
EDIT: Also I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to be posting this, I don't use this site often and the site would not let me post to Galaxy Nexus Android Development for some reason. I can still go to the bootloader by holding down volume and power.

the reason why ur stuck is because ur stock recovery might be blown up. try and flash stock recovery ....or cwm recovery...

You think I didn't try that already? And I don't know how to flash a stock recovery, help?

My phone also got stuck at the google screen when it tried to boot. Turned out it was a bad flash when I was trying to install jelly bean. I just went back in and flashed jelly bean again and everything was back to normal. I think you'll be just fine if you just flash a stock rom or whatever rom you want to run on. Look for one of the guides on how to return to stock and just skip the part about relocking your bootloader.

In the toolkit there is a "flash back to stock" option. Boot back into bootloader and use it.

Thank you very much wish to continue your work

The flash back to stock option doesn't seem to work, because the cmd window won't read me device. What should I do?

I didn't mean to thank your post so you owe me one.
Why be an ass to someone who is trying to help you. A simple I tried that and it didn't work would be fine.
If we assumed everyone did what we would suggest then half of people's issues would probably not have gotten fixed.
Like I would assume you new how to flash stock recovery so I would not want to offend you buy telling you how.

Now to be nice because I know a non working phone sucks : )
Put your phone into the bootloader screen to use in the toolkit. To do this. remove battery, place back in....Then hold volume up and down at the same time and then power the device on while holding the buttons. You will then be in bootloader and the toolkit should recognize your device from there.
If it does, try the steps over again or if you can flash back to stock everything and start over. The tollkit give you the instructions where to get the files if you choose that option.

[Q][Need Help] Phone Won't Boot Past Splash Screen

So I was running Slimbean 6.2 weekly with ktoonez 6.8 kernel and decided to go into recovery (CWM Touch 6.0.3) to fix permissions and clear cache since I was having some battery drain issues. After I hit fix permissions it started to do so and then all of a sudden my phone rebooted and gets stuck at the splash screen. Went back into recovery to try and fix permissions again same thing happens. Tried clearing cache and doing a normal reboot still stuck at splash screen. I tried doing a factory reset but it keeps rebooting right when it gets to formatting data. So essentially I can do anything aside from format data so I am guessing there's some corrupt file there that's keeping me from formatting it. I've tried installing different ROM's that I have on my SD card but they always get stuck at the splash screen. Doing a restore doesn't work as once it gets to restoring data the phone reboots. I checked report error or something along those lines in CWM Advanced and it said can't format /emmc which I'm not sure what that means.
I've looked around but haven't been able to find any information on how to fix this. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Ok go into CWM wipe cache, wipe dalvik and do factory reset. Then flash any rom which you have on your phone storage. Does this work?

You never mentioned you started over by installing 4.1.2 Stock and then tried flashing ROM again, only that you went into recovery numerous times. Download Mode and Odin to Stock is what I was getting at. Then... Flashing 4.2.2

Even better, download one of the Odin 1-clicks. Connect your phone, open the 1-click and stand back while it does its magic.

Click that and it will start downloading. When it's finished, connect your phone while in download mode and then run the .exe

Indeed. Odin One Click is another, and better, alternative.

downloading now to give it a shot, thanks for the quick replies

so I used the one click odin file but it didn't do anything that I can tell. All it seemed to do was check the md5 sum which came back successful and thats it. Do I need a stock rom file as well with this? Sorry for the noob questions
edit: nevermind, I didn't realize I needed to have odin up and running before connecting the phone, doh

the one click odin file worked! thank you so much for the quick replies and helping me out!

Since you still have the bootlogo, you can boot in download mode and use Heimdall or Odin to reinstall the OS

Do you have a custom recovery installed?

I'd leave it plugged in overnight first to be sure it gets at least a good 40% of charge.
Assuming you use Windows (any XP or above will work, even on a Pentium 3 as long as it has USB2):
Download the MB4 firmware (it comes in 3 pieces, effectively meaning it contains a complete image and will work regardless of previous OS). Extract the CODE, CSC and .PIT files.
If you haven't installed and used Kies or Odin before, install the USB drivers.
Extract and open Odin.
Hold down [Volume -]+[Home]+[Power] until you get "Warning - a custom OS can cause problems...", release all buttons and press [Volume +]. The screen should change to "ODIN MODE ... Do not turn off target".
Connect the cable: after drivers install you'll see the first square under "Odin3 Model Name" lighting up.
Click the large PIT button and open the .pit, then PHONE for CODE and CSC for CSC :cyclops:
On the left side, select "Auto reboot", "Repartition" and "F reset time", no more no less.
Click the Flash button and wait 5 minutes
After that you can use Odin to install a newer stock firmware or load CWM and a custom rom.

Thank you so much all of you! I finnaly fixed my phone and got Jellybean! Thank you very much.

Reinstall the firmware...
Before you reinstall Perform a wipe Dalvik, Factory Reset...

No I never got it to boot. I'm sorry it happened to you, but at the same time I'm a bit relieved I'm not the only one. My restore worked just fine though & every other rom I've tried boots up just fine. I'm hoping the next version will boot for us.
