i rooted my galaxy nexus last night, and today i was trying to put a rom on it, i went to wipe the cache, and now it wont boot past the google screen and im freaking out!

Before you flashed did you wipe system? Huh I bet not even so you only mention wipe cache....what about data , dalvik ?

Did you read directions in the op for the ROM?

Try booting into recovery and then wiping and flashing your ROM

i was trying to flash the codename android 1.6 rom, i cant post the link it wont let me

when i boot into recovery mode, it shows a droid with its chest open and a red exclamation point

I've never heard of that ROM but in fastboot will it let you use your volume and power keys to navigate to recovery? If not, try using fastboot commands on the computer to get into recovery (if you can? I'm not too acquainted with fastboot commands)

i can get into recovery but then it shows the droid with the red alert

That's fastboot. Try looking into fastboot commands and see if any command will let you boot into recovery from there.

You buggered the boot image... Just flash it again, via fastboot...

They are normally in .Franco kernels...

m4gkman · Apr 24, 2012

Yes. Fastboot is used, in CMD (Windows) Gnome terminal (Ubuntu/Linux distributions) and the Mac OS terminal...

You need to install the ADB drivers and download the fastboot/adb files first, though (Check the Windows 8 thread (In my signature), all you need is in there...

Or, download a .Franco kernel (Check the developement section, for your device (GSM/verizon/Sprint) and search the forum...

Yes, but just flash the boot.img

Code:

fastboot flash boot %Userprofile%\Downloads\<Whatever the file is named>.img

No, that is not fastboot. That is recovery. He has the stock recovery flashed, which is the Android lying on its back with a red exclamation point.

You need to flash CWM before you do anything else. Get it from the link in my signature and flash it in fastboot. Then boot into CWM, do a wipe, and re-flash the ROM you want.

We've been there. Done that and got the T-shirt. The phone is working fine. Just installing CND 1.6

No, he hasn't been there, and obviously you didn't understand that.

If he sees the Android lying on his back with the red ! then he has the STOCK recovery flashed, not CWM.

CWM is flashed, it's installing CND (Or has installed) but whatever we do, it's a bootloop. lol) I'm doing everything, with him, whilst he's at work, via TV ^^

I'm seing exactly everything, what is happening, on the computer. I flashed everything myself...

Ah, ok!

None of that was mentioned in the thread. Had no idea that you were helping him -- I thought you were helping him in this thread.
