Soft bricked Galaxy Nexus

[wary overlord]

Does anyone happen to have a way to flash the stock img in fastboot? I can't find the stock LTE variant anywhere.

I unlocked the bootloader through fastboot, then ran p3Droid's root method for the LTE galaxy nexus, and now the phone will just get stuck at the google logo.

I did manage to install CWM onto the phone, but since there is no SD card, I can't push anything in ADB to the phone. It just gives me an error when I try. If there is anyone who could help, that would be amazing!

More information:
Yes, fastboot commands still work. I have tried flashing various boot.imgs to the phone to no effect such as the one from the nandroid on rootzwiki and also flashing the boot.img from the only LTE ROM on rootzwiki as well.

Ya, they said, "Told ya we'd brick it!"

 

[wary overlord]

Haha no. If anything, I would just wait until it releases, then buy a new one. Then return the one I have now

so you screwed the phone up and voided your warranty yet will just return it because you messed it up? And this is the reason prices are so high as it is. You should have waited until a recovery was out for this exact reason...

More proof that Verizon didn't deserve a Nexus phone. You just don't brick a Nexux phone. If they didn't want to enable/support the Android community, Verizon shouldn't have negotiated for the phone.

On a related note... they weren't surprised you had the phone? It hasn't been released yet. A few have "escaped", but officially it isn't being sold yet.

The phone is not even out yet and some one has bricked it?

 

[wary overlord]

I have recovery on here. I can fastboot as well. There is no factory img out there yet that I can flash back to which is the problem.

That is what I meant not recovery my bad.

Since you ran p3Droid's root process, did you try checking back with him regarding how to restore?

That sucks, as I doubt your going to get much assistance from anyone yet on this device.

I pmed him and posted on his forum, but have not received a response yet. Hopefully he sees it later today.

How does some random person bricking their nexus that isn't released yet have anything to do with verizon having a nexus??? This falls on the person with the nexus not verizon. Plus google didn't release the factory image yet because it isn't released yet!

You realize that you aren't replying to the original poster and are in fact replying to a sarcastic comment?

What are you talking about?

Totally agree.

Totally agree.

That is what my first comment you quoted was talking about...

 

[DaPoets]

bwwahahahahaha

 

[wary overlord]

Meh. I screwed up. Also the superboot thing does not work properly. If anything, I will wait until it actually releases

Edit:

I can also relock the bootloader which would give me my warranty back.
