What did I do wrong? I spent about an hour updating ADB since I haven't used it since I rooted my N1 a lifetime ago.

If you're on Win7 like me, I know I was unable to directly extract to C:/ because you need to allow permission to copy there

Just simply extract to another folder, say in your documents or downloads, and then paste those files over to C:/

Once you have CWM then you just need to find a Rom that will work on LTE devices as im not sure if the Roms are different.

No need to be paranoid as the GN is close to unbrickable as long as you can enter fastboot

Mark.

Hope it's like the D1 which was nearly impossible to brick. I got the Verizon Nexus, can't play with it until Christmas . I do plan on at least getting root with it. I just put my D1 back to stock, using RSD lite and got a message that the flash "failed". don't know what happen, but the phone rebooted and all was well....go figure Thanks for the great info here.

That was easy and common sense. I should probably do this in the middle of the day instead of near bed time or before morning coffee.

Nevermind I fixed it. I uninstalled all samsung crap and disconnceted the phone and redownloaded pdanet and installed samsung drivers via that again and it worked.

I think I had samsung drivers previously installed and the system was tripping out on which on to use.

I am happily rooted now with light flow, titanium backup and all the good stuff.

Thanks anyways though, appreciate it.

Thanks for the guide. I'm a newb and made it part of the way, but am having an issue.

* PDANet installed fine
* fastboot-windows.exe devices - returns a string of numbers, some spaces, and the text 'fastboot'
* unlock proceedure worked - fastboot mode says 'Lock State - Unlocked'. 'Google' screen on startup also shows lock at bottom of screen as unlocked.

However, fastboot-windows.exe boot boot.superboot.img does not work. I have tried multiple times and get downloading 'boot.img' followed by one of these responses:
* FAILED (Data size too large)
* FAILED (Unknown status code)
* FAILED (remote: invalid command)
* ...

(The ... just sits there. I've let it sit for up to 15 minutes with no change.)

Trying to add the recovery image give the same results.

Phone can still be started to stock.

I have re-downloaded the img zipfile and it still can't install them.

Phone is LTE model. Any ideas on why I can get phone to show up with devices and fastboot reports unlocked, yet can't load img's is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Can you tell me what build the rom is? Go to the settings. about screen and look at the Android version and Build version.

I have a newer Galaxy Nexus ToolKit in the GSM forum and I am currently making insecure boot images of the newer builds for gsm and lte models so a more stable root can be applied so maybe you can be my guineepig for the lte version

Happy to be guinea pig for LTE version. Android version is 4.0.2 and Build number is ICL53F.

Fwiw, I just tried the whole process again from another computer. Trying to unlock gave error that device was already unlocked (good). But, same problems trying to fastboot images.

Thanks for looking at this Mark.

Please do. Let me know if you want me to roll back any of the process I did manage to complete.

Thanks for this guide! Worked flawlessly!
