[Verizon] [SOLVED] Stuck in Recovery after CyanogenMod 10.1 Upgrade

Hi all,

I have a Verizon Galaxy Nexus that I had rooted a while ago and updated to CyanogenMod 10.0 Stable (cm-10.0.0-toro.zip ). Today I got a notification that 10.1 Stable was out so I clicked on the update hoping to use the automated update process for the first time. When I did so, it prompted me to download a new google apk rom in addition to the 10.1 rom so i accepted. Once, downloaded the program had already selected the 2 ROMs and allowed me to check 2 boxes (backup existing rom and wipe cache) which i did.

Once i clicked to start the process it went into the standard install screen with the android icon and a bunch of text along with a progress bar. Everything seemed to install fine as the rom started booting, but then i got an error saying "Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped." with an "Ok" button. When i click "OK" i get "Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped". Clicking "OK" here just goes to the previous error and they just alternate endlessly. I tried removing the battery and booting into recovery but it just has a pointer to my power button which says "Start" which to me means click power to start whatever is selected but nothing is selected. I cant use the up/down volume buttons as arrows to select anything because there isn't anything to select. Also the screen says "Downloading... Do not turn off target!!". In the top right corner, I see "Odin mode" in red. In the bottom left, I see some device info text.

I did some research online and it seems i may need to reinstall the rom by some other means. I'm on OSX so I downloaded the latest Android SDK tools and set up my terminal path. I then plugged in the phone using USB and ran "adb devices" in terminal but it can't seem to find my phone ("List of devices attached [blank]". I tried disconnecting and reconnecting the phone while the phone is in different states (recovery/system error screen) and was not able to get it to show up in terminal but i did get the phone's hard drive to show up using "Android File Transfer".

I would appreciate any help to get my phone back to a working state. I am not too experienced with flashing ROMs or android programming but I am a Java/PHP back end developer so I have some ideas about what i might need to do.

Thanks in advance.

So does you're phone not boot into fastboot (both volume buttons + power)and only into Odin mode(Only Vol-down + power)? Or can you boot into both?
