    Re: [Automated] Wug's Galaxy Nexus Root Toolkit v1.3 (Updated 1/2 I used your awesome tool kit to unlock/root so that I could use Rom Mgr to flash 4.0.4. All went well, I am now running 4.0.4 but..... after flashing, I lost root. I have tried re-rooting with the tool kit. The batch seems to...

    I considered that possibility so I used Wug's toolkit and re-ran the root batch routine but it didn't seem to change anything. I will look for and try your suggestion. Thanks very much.

    OK.... I'm up and running with 4.0.4. So I'll see how it goes over the next couple of days. But.....Now I have another issue to deal with. I unlocked and rooted my phone using Wug's Toolkit (which really works well once you get the drivers into your computer). I downloaded 4.0.4 and...

    VZW Galaxy Nexus ICS 4.0.4 Radios

    Certainly appreciate your input and advice. I know just enough about rooting, flashing, etc to be dangerous. I did use CWM/Rom Mgr/Cyanogen Mod ROM on my Droid 1. Not sure that I am brave enough to mess with this new phone. I guess as long as I can get confident in knowing the procedure to...
