Help with reset...

So I decided to try to run ubuntu touch on my Samsung Galaxy Nexus(verizon). All went well, but now it seems I cant start the phone, can only get into fastboot mode. Can anyone please walk me through the steps of putting stock android back on my phone? I have adb and fastboot installed on my computer. There's a guide here that walks you through the process of returning the phone to stock software/firmware, but it requires USB debugging to be on, which I can't turn on because the phone won't boot up. I greatly appreciate any help!!!
Phone Info(what's written in fastboot):
PRODUCT NAME-Tuna
VARIANT- toro 32GB
HW VERSION- 9
BOOTLOADER VERSION: PRIMELC03
BASEBAND VERSION- I515.FK02 CDMA-I515.FK01
CARRIER INFO- NONE
SIGNING- production
LOCK STATE- UNLOCKED

You dont need USB debug on in order to use fastboot
---------- Post added at 05:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:38 PM ----------
Debugging is only needed if using adb.
But if u already in fastboot bootloader mode then u don't need to do "adb reboot bootloader" command

Thanks for the pretty fast response! I'm still lost as to how I can make everything go back to the way it is (i.e, get rid of ubuntu and get android back on ) . Definitely my last time trying to muck around with roms and such D;

Don't give up!
Once you've done it once or twice it becomes easier, everything starts to make sense
Did you download one of the Google factory img for toro to your computer? Get it from here
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
(It will be under the Mysid/toro name) any of the available ones will work that are for toro.
---------- Post added at 06:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:17 PM ----------
Then you just uncompress the file, open command prompt(aka terminal) in that folder/directory , put device into fastboot mode(bootloader), and then execute the flash all script that comes with the factory IMG download.
---------- Post added at 06:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:19 PM ----------
Oh, and to easily open a command prompt in that directory, uncompress the factory img download file from that site linked above, then open the folder to view it's contents. Hold shift and right click within the folder and choose "open command prompt"
Then all you should need to do is put "flash-all.exe" and hit enter in the command prompt that pops up once device is connected and in fastboot(bootloader)mode. (No quotes...just enter the text) and then be patient. The flashing of the radio files might seem to take a long time especially the CDMA radio. Do NOT unplug or anything before it is completed fully)
If need anymore info ask away

Wow, I can't thank you enough man!!! :highfive: That worked like a charm , no problems at all . And oh it's "flash-all.bat" not .exe, for the people that might come across this thread later. Thanks again though, I really don't know what I would've done. Definitely going to do a **** ton more research next time I decide to go and flash a rom haha.

No problem buddy
That's what these forums are for, learning, helping, development, all that good stuff! Just happy it went smoothly for ya.
I think it used to be named .exe, at least it shows as exe on my laptop but I use Linux so it could just be seeing it differently(since I have wine installed)
There is usually a windows executable and a Linux .sh script that can be executed from the terminal to start the process.
See, it's not all THAT bad now is it? Especially since now you know how to do it, messing up the device isn't such a daunting thing anymore lol.
As for keeping status 7 from happening again I highly recommend bookmarking the TWRP or CWM official sites so that before flashing things in the future, you can make sure you have the most up to date custom recovery installed by comparing what is available vs what you have installed(booting into recovery mode will usually have the version info somewhere on the main screen) and of course having a recent nandroid backup made within your current custom recovery. I prefer TWRP but it's a personal choice to each user which they use
Just don't be afraid to play around
Congrats again on your first soft brick&restore! Lol
It's such a relieving feeling once you bring device back from the dead ain't it?

step 10 problem SOLVED
Figured it out! thnx to @ kentexcitebot
I went through C:\Users\name\.flashTool\firmwares and deleted the "prepared" folder under the folder "firmwares".
That fixed the problem, apparently.
Now device is about to boot.. waiting for boot complete

yes... my bad.. you need to update steps.. as someone else might get same problem.
root access worked properly. :good:
now my problem is xposed installer.. how to install?
tried flashing zip, but device won't boot.

Xposed is not not available for our device yet...Wait until it fixed for our device. .. You can delete all xposed files to get rid on bootloop.
Solution
1. Flash recovery kernel from #1 post
2. Get rid on Xposed bootloop HERE manually : no flash required

I am not being harsh
I am just letting know what is happening, sorry if I sound harsh
already uninstalled xposed.
ok, so finally I manage to get it working,
1st performed clean installation of 5.0.2 ftf
then followed steps 1 to 9
then deleted the "prepared" folder under the folder "firmwares", (If existed).
then followed step 10 & 11.
started device & updated everything.
I got proper root access & everything is working fine :good:
Thank you :good:
Only problem is, cant boot in Recovery now, after everything is done successfully.

Your port is closed, please check device manager>port and instead of com4 that being request why send command on com5?

Not entirely sure what you mean?
When I click on ports.bat in my adb folder it says it sees the device on port 5.
I'm lost.....please help:crying:

Here's another screenshot with it showing port 4....but still it fails to get the ID of the phone to enter into LG website to get code.

I get to this point in the screenshot below, where i have to enter "id" but nothing happens...just a blinking cursor when i enter id and press enter.
Any ideas?
thanks

Hi buddy are you using the right com port because you need to choose the diag1 com port not the other one , also ignore what it says in device manager just use the com port from the lg root tool which is diag1... And one last thing are you on marshmallow or lollipop??

Download twrp 3.0.2.0 and save it in the same place as your adb files , then open a command window by holding shift and right mouse click and do these commands -
adb devices
(This will check if the device is connected you should see a number next to device)
adb reboot bootloader
(This simply reboots your phone ready to flash)
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-0-h815.img
(Make sure the twrp name is the same as the command)
Hit enter and you should have twrp installed on your device...

Go to the settings of your phone and press on build number around 8 times until it says you are a developer then enable USB debugging and tick the box that says enable OEM unlock and try again , also make sure when you connect the phone to the PC select mtp connection for USB ...
