Hey there. I would suggest booting into recovery to flash. If you need some instruction on how to do this I am sure it is out there but it basically goes like this.

Boot into recovery.
Wipe data (this wipes cache for you)
In the advanced menu wipe dalvik cache
Back out and in the mounts/storage menu wipe, system, data, and cache.
Then back out again and choose flash zip, then choose install from SD card, locate your ROM and flash. Then do the same navigation to get to gapps and flash that!
Reboot!
Profit!

Titanium does my backups daily at 3am. I always do user apps and data without any issues when I switch ROMs (I usually have 100+ apps that I have installed). The only system app I ever do is CarHome, but I always recommend that you never do any system apps unless you are willing to break things and have to fix it.

Alright, guess I should finally jump on this. I bought TiBa ages ago but never used it. I didn't mind wiping user data (ie: SMS) when loading new ROMs. It's just passwords for Twitter, FB and data for my Metro app that are a pain to reload. Hopefully I can find a quick tutorial for the app around here as I know it's pretty powerful. If I have any questions, you all look to be quite helpful.

Good morning everyone! Beautiful Saturday morning here. What to do today?

if anyone is up, i could use a little help. I downloaded the new radios, started rom manager, clicked flash clockwork mod recovery and ended up with the poor little guy dead with the dreaded red triangle on his back. I can get out of it with a battery pull but what is going on here?

BabyBlues

Morning!
I had that happen too. I stopped using ROM manager. Once you get back up and running use your power button to boot into recovery.

BabyBlues

Morning Dread! I have a day of errand running and then dinner at a Brazilian BBQ. Hope you don't have to spend all day in the restaurant.

Copacetic

Thanks BB, its been a while since i have done that, please remind me how, and thanks this early saturday morning!

Never mind I remembered, hold both volume up and down, hit power, lol, it was a brain freeze.

Thanks for the tip, it also did not work, he is still on his back. I will keep searching on line, let me know if anyone has any other ideas.

Unforgiven

There is some file you need to rename to prevent the GNex from rewriting the stock recovery back on reboot. Check the ATR sticky. I think it is mentioned in there.

thanks Pup, I did that, but i am still stuck. I think that even though i still have rom manager that i have lost clockworkmod...is that even possible?

Unforgiven

Yes, try loading cwm again.

Copacetic

How should i do that?

Unforgiven

I haven't done it in a while, in fact, I still have the stock recovery. I just flash it through Rom Manager before I reboot each time I want to do a nand or anything else in CWM.

Copacetic

i am running the first leaked 4.04 but nothing works in rom manager. that is why i think i lost clockwork mod, maybe i will go back and re-root and see if that fix's it.

MSUgEEk

I had the same thing happen several weeks ago. I had to connect the phone back up to the computer and go find the snippets I needed to do from the root tutorial again. I just installed CWM using those instructions and I was back up and running within a few minutes.

http://androidforums.com/verizon-galaxy-nexus-all-things-root/474570-how-all-things-root-samsung-galaxy-nexus.html#post3736600

I think that, section 2, should get you going again.




Edit: I do not use ROM Manager at all with this phone. I always manually boot into CWM and do everything myself. That way if something does go wrong, I know what happend and I know I'm responsible and not something a program screwed up for me. I always find it easier to recover from mistakes I made thatn mistakes someone else made.

Has it prompted you for SU permissions? (or consequently denied them?)
Did you flash just the radios/bootloader, or the whole ROM itself? I wonder if it unrooted you?
Like geek said, I only use ROM Manager to flash CWM (latest) and rename backups if need be. Everything else is done in Clockwork. It's a great app and Koush is a fantastic developer, but, getting things some the "manual" way seems best.

Yep weekends are slow here. Makes my weekend work go by slower consequently.

This angers me....what the heck is going on in the sporting world??? Penn State football, Syracuse basketball, and now NBA OKC Thunder... This just really infuriates me. Men that molest or take advantage of children in any sexual manner should have their junk cut off.

Disgusting. A lot of it, I think, just has to do with men in "power" be it political or financially. For some reason it gives them that green light to do whatever they want. But, anyone who messes with children deserves.....

Strung up? Seriously, why not just cut it off...without anesthesia.

Cause I was thinking barbed wire as the string.

I've already bought apps for Android, I'm not buying them for an Apple product too!

BabyBlues

Ahh, yes. The in-law issue. Does your wife want one? And I know she is a teacher so it might have some benefit for her in school.

MSUgEEk

She has never, not once made a comment about wanting one. I don't even know that she's ever used one. On top of that I specifically have set out to develop apps in Android for teachers, mostly things that my wife tells me would be useful in her classroom. I'm gonna shut up now before I get worked up

jmar

I don't know if you got things figured out. If you didn't, here is what you do.

Flash CWM by whatever means, then using a file explorer, rename the file "recovery-from-boot.p" to "recovery-from-boot.p.bak", no quotes. This will allow your custom recovery to stick. The file you are renaming ensures that at each boot your phone has stock recovery. You don't want this. Hope you get it worked out! And stop using friggin ROM Manager, please!

Maybe she knows it will just rile you up.

Many of you know that I have been particularly quiet on the weekends. Some weekends I do not even log in. Well, I figured I give you a peek. We'll start with sheds. Mind you, with the exception of the sheds, this has all been done with hand tools and a rototiller. I moved from this abomination (soon to be razed)...



...to this shed including building the decks and the benches.


I regraded the back yard when I took down the pool (it was dropped 15" on the uphill side and raised 15" on the downhill side to make the pool level). You can see the light area which is all new grass.



The past two weekends I have been trying to get my gardens that look like this (this is the last one I have left to do).


To look like this:


Here is the rather large pile of dirt and sod I have dug out of the various gardens so far.


Any way, just thought I would share.

jmar

Really nice place you have there

Thanks for sharing.

Pup, did you get it figured out?

BB, sorry about the iPad comment. I knew it would rile you

jmar

MSUgEEk

I've got no issue with the iPad, it's just the fact that we have Android accounts and all kinds of paid Android apps but now we can't use any of them for her new tablet, have to set up all new accounts, deal with different ways of syncing the device, etc.

Unforgiven

Get what figured out?

jmar

Sorry Pup...I meant Copacetic

Soooo, I missed it. When did you change your handle to Unforgiven?

Hey everyone. Busy day, my wife is getting a day off, hanging out with her mom, getting a pedicure, and tonight going to a movie with her best friend. I got the grocery shopping done first thing, then detailed her van and my car, and now working on her mother's day present. I am using smilebox to make a multimedia presentation with 100 pictures, and 4 videos of her and the kids. I hope she likes it.

Pup, the place looks nice.

How's your day BB? Are you excited for mother's day tomorrow? To be honest, sometimes I want to splurge on an iPad but I want the yet to be release Transformer Pad Infinity series...really want a keyboard! I want to replace my lappy!

That is why I use titanium to back up. You back up an app with data and you don't have to set up your passwords, etc when you restore your backups

jmar

Sorry to quote myself but I wanted to clarify my potentially controversial standpoint. And I do not wish to start any arguments, I am not know around the forums for anything like that and I don't plan to start today.

I just want to say that abhorrent human behavior, crimes like the one this man is alleged to have committed, make me question the nature of our "fair" justice system. I just think that if, in a perfect world in which convictions could be 100% correct, you commit certain crime that we should not be paying taxes to house these people for a lifetime or for years on end leading up to a death sentence.

Basically, if we had a concept of "no doubt" as a different level of conviction that superseded "reasonable doubt" we could have a better society. People who commit crimes against children make me red and furious.

Again, I don't wish to start any argument but I had to get this off my chest.

Thank you for listening and respecting my words, even if you do not agree. Guides and Mods: feel free to remove this if you see fit. I hope that I used wording that falls within the construct of our rules and guiding principles.
