Let me preface this by saying that I am a noob and had and still have absolutely no idea what I was doing when I rooted my phone a few months back. Now I updated to the stock 4.0.4 and my root is all screwed up.
I searched about 20-30 forums to find how to fix my problem, and everyone is saying different things and I think none of them have worked for me so far.
I have a Verizon GNex and a Mac, so none of the windows-based toolkits work for me.
So my Flash ClockworkMod Recovery doesn't work on ROM Manager, showing the "an error has occurred blah privilege blah" prompt. I have downloaded the new su.zip file everyone said to download but have no idea what to do with it. I put it on my sd card, but it's just sitting there when I go into Astro File Manager. I've seen a lot of places showing how to install it using Wug's Toolkit, but since I have a Mac I can't use that.
When I try to access Recovery Mode using bootloader, I get the android thingy with the red triangle. I tried downloading ClockworkMod through my computer and installing it to my GNex using terminal, but I keep getting an error when it installs.
I've read that you have to copy the su.zip file to "the root" in your GNex? Wtf does that even mean? I thought "root" was a verb in programming jargon? Now it's a noun too?
I know I am a noob, I just want to fix this problem. I learned my lesson about updating without protecting my root. I'm going to install a custom ROM and Kernel anyways.
Thanks in advanced.
