help with FLASHING

[jon-e-o]

I need help with flashing! I rooted my GNex out of the box in January, but I have somehow lost my root! All of the posts in this forum say to download this and that and FLASH in recovery. I have all of the downloads but cannot get into recovery. I just get the Android avatar with no options to do anything. I downloaded GooManager to install a new recovery, but I can't reboot into recovery via GooManager without root access and I can't get into Root Explorer to change the old recovery without root.
Is there a way to FLASH the files that are on my SD card without root access? If so, could someone please give me STEP BY STEP instructions on what to do.
I really want to be rooted again!
Thanks in advance.

I have the same problem and when I tried rooting again with Wugs toolkit it goes through the process but once it's done I'm still not rooted. It also will not let me flash a custom recovery. Superuser is still on my device from before the update to 4.1.1 and it asks me to update the binaries but I get a failed error every time I try to update. Any suggestions?

Read the unlocking guide, and skip to the part about flashing a recovery. You need to fastboot a recovery manually, then flash this for root access: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/47300967/su-JB.zip

It's not difficult at all, just follow the instructions

Which unlocking guide. I did a search and came up with about 50 of them.

I have a (GSM) Nexus, and there is currently an issue with Superuser and 4.2. I couldn't regain root, and updating the app and/or binary kept failing. I finally flashed using SuperSU, and this is working.
I am waiting for Superuser to fix as I bought Elite awhile back.
