When I try to reboot into clock work recovery I get a red exclamation mark please help
Go to page 2 and read the blue note by me.
It worked thanks so much first you've helped me through my thunder bolt now my nexus well appreciated for everything
Yea even with that version.. it still needs to be done. I need to update that. Koush said it was fixed but apparently people are still having the problem.Greetings. I keep getting the red exclamation mark when I try to get into Recovery Mode.
I've followed Wug's Galaxy Nexus Root Toolkit v1.3 installation step-by-step without issue. Although changelog states "Changed the permanent root script to rename the "recover-from-boot.p" file to "recover-from-boot.p.bak" instead of just deleting it", I've installed Root Explorer and confirm that the file was not renamed. I renamed manually per instructions on page 2.
Also, ROM Manager shows that the current ClockworkMod Recovery is 5.5.0.4, and the instructions on page 2 state "this problem has been fixed with Koush's latest update to ROM Managers recovery. If your Recovery says " ClockworkMod 5.5.0.4" then you dont have to worry about the problem above".
I'm at a loss as to why I'm unable to get into Recovery Mode. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

You need to follow the steps in the exact order making sure you also reboot the phone. Also double check that Root Explorer says "Read/Write" before you rename the file.
i just cant seem to install a rom i tried a few. but tried winner00 CM9 kang blue soft keys 012912 multiple times. and just had to restore back to stock backup everytime. each time i lost my soft keys. just not sure what im doing wrong. any help would be greatly appreciated. ill be happy with just my soft keys blue
Can you copy and paste the links for what you're trying to install? From what it sounds like... you are trying to install a ROM modification (different color softkeys) without installing an actual ROM. That or the software key modification is not compatible with the ROM you are using.
If you could copy and paste the link to the ROM you're using and also copy and paste the link for the softkey modification that you want to use... then I can help you figure out what's going wrong.
Are you using an actual ROM or did you just flash the softkey mod over the stock ROM?
I'm on stock rom im just unlocked and rooted. The winner00 rom I was trying to flash is from Rom manager. I don't know if it was a rom or a soft key mod. I thought it was whole rom with cm9 and blue soft keys. I can't figure out how to paste the links from Rom manager. Thanks so much

Okay... I see what you did. You shouldn't really use ROM Manager to download ROMs... it can cause problems. Use the threads in the forums and then go to the developers home page where he explains what's involved, what's needed and provides the downloads that you need.
You only downloaded a modification for the soft keys. That needs to be installed over the ROM that goes to it. You can't flash it over the stock ROM. You would need all three files in ROM Manager. The first one is a soft key mod. The second one under it is the actual ROM and the third file under that is the Gapps (Google apps)
You would need to first flash the ROM.. then right after flash the Gapps (only wipe dalvik/cache No data wipe)... then reboot the phone and flash the soft key mod (wipe dalvik/cache No data wipe)
I'd recommend flashing either Codename, AOKP or Bugless Beast. They're the most popular and stable ROMs out. You can find the info and download links in the forums.

Yea not sure about bugless beast... never tried it... but with Codename and AOKP the soft key mods are built into the ROMs settings amongst other great features.
Basically what you need to do is:
Go to the main page of the developers ROM (its in the first post of the links I gave you)
Download the latest version of the Codename ROM and download the Gapps (Google apps... Gmail, Gtalk, Google +, etc..)
Boot into Recovery through ROM Manager
Wipe Data, Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik
Go to Install from SD Card and choose the Codename ROM
After it is installed.... and you're still in Recovery
Wipe cache, Wipe Dalvik (No Data Wipe)
Go to install from SD Card and install the Gapps zip file
Once that's done... reboot your phone and you're all set to go. The ROM has pretty much every single kind of built in modification that you can think of built right into the settings.

Go into the phones settings... codename settings... on-screen controls... on-screen control color. You can change the keys to whatever color you want. Browse through the codename settings... there's alot that you can do
