Trying to flash 4.0.4, help!

[miikeyroks#CB]

Hello!

I am trying to get 4.0.4 onto my CDMA Gnex, and I have the file downloaded and I have the bootloader unlocked, but all of the steps that follow are not working.

Im using a mac, and I also have yet to see a file that says /sdcard.

I can get into the bootloader and past the android on his back with the red triangle, but it doesnt give me an sd card option, just wipe and cache.

Can someone please help me with some steps on how to flash this? Or atleast point me in the direction of the thread I would find this at.

Thanks

I made a video on how to do this on a mac. By the way, download google's file transfer app for your mac.
You can get it at:
File Transfer for Mac

Just make sure the file is in the root of the /sdcard/
while the nexus doesn't have an sdcard, it still calls the storage space of the internal memory /sdcard/ You can download a file manager to see this on the device. I like astro, but any work for this purpose.

in my video, I went a little more hands on. I used clockwork mod to install it for 2 reasons
1) the file doesn't need to be in the root of the sdcard because you can browse for the file
2) I wanted to test out the touch interface without installing it.

If you have fastboot and adb installed on your mac, place clockwork mod recovery in that folder and type the following comands:

cd FOLDER_PATH

since I use the sdk for everything, I have recovery.img, fastboot and adb in my platform-tools folder

./adb reboot bootloader

wait until you get the android with open panel

./fastboot boot recovery.img

that will boot you into clockwork mod recovery without installing it. This preserves the stock recovery image which is required to install this package.

Heres my video:

attatched is the clockworkmod recovery image I used.

So i have all that done but when i go to enter ./fastboot boot recovery.img it says -bash: ./fastboot: No such file or directory, but i have done everything you said. i can get into the standard bootloader where it says start with the android open, but from there i cant do it.

Did you download fastboot? is it called fastboot or fastboot-mac? if its fastboot-mac, replace code with

./fastboot-mac boot recovery.img
