I was rooted, but wanted to go back to stock. So I followed QBKing77's video here:

How to Unroot/Unbrick the Samsung Galaxy Nexus - Latest - YouTube

That got me back to 4.1.1. My bootloader is now locked and I am not rooted (I don't see super user). Also, I assume I have stock recovery. Not sure how to check. However, when I run the OTA to update to 4.2.1, I get the Android laying down with a red triangle. Any suggestions on what to do?

I was getting the same thing. It act like it wanted to load but then the green android man wit the red triangle popped up. I tried everything. Finally had to take to Sprint to have them load it. Not sure what they did but they fixed it and downloaded 4.2.1 for me.

IMO 4.1.2 for the Gnex was more buggy than 4.2. But 4.2.2 is what jb should've been since day one.

Thanks, I put the nightly from 2/21 on. It seems to be running good.

Oh, I and I think I found my original problem. I had a custom PRL (for Verizon) before I tried to go back to stock. I never put Sprint's version back on. I assume that was what was giving me issues with the OTA, but not sure.

I was having the exact same problem. I re-flashed the LTE radio thru Odin and it fixed the problem.
