Hey everyone, first post here - I just picked up my first Android device (Verizon Galaxy Nexus) and I'm PSYCHED to get this thing going with some custom stuff!

Anyways, first thing I did was the fastboot oem unlock, then rooted using SuperBoot. When I went to flash CWM Recovery, fastboot gives me the following: "error: cannot load [img filename]" (where [img filename] is whatever image I typed in). I've ruled out the possibilities that this is due to a file naming problem, file extension, upper case/lower case, etc. Also the image is in the same directory as fastboot. I've tried renaming the image to something simpler like "recovery.img" but that doesnt work either - it's like fastboot simply can't find any images.

Any ideas? I'm completely stuck as of now. Thanks in advance!

You could use the app ROM Manager if you want to flash CWM Recovery.

Ok thanks I'll give that a try. In the meantime, any ideas why I'd get this error?

I'm having the same problem. Anyone know why this could be?

So using Rom Manager is another way of getting CWR on nexus and making a backup.
It flashes the same Clockwork 5.5.0.4 ?

I guess will still have to delete or rename the file in root exployer "recovery-from-boot.p "?

I have an mid7022 and I flashed a bad recovery (a version of Clockworkmod) and this wont load the stock recovery i downloaded or a new Clockworkmod and it gives me the same error message "cannot load blah blah blah" I really need a recovery.
