ICL23D - Galaxy Nexus Boot/Recovery/System Dump
From Modaco.com
Below are links to a ICL23D Ice Cream Sandwich development build for the Galaxy Nexus!
Some points to note about the files...
All 3 files are completely stock and unedited
This build is a dev build, not a release build
This build is from a test Galaxy Nexus
This build is not odexed!
I know a lot of people are hacking up ports for other devices, so hopefully the non-odexed nature of this release together with the fact it includes the boot and recovery images will help make that happen.
All I ask is that you don't mirror the files elsewhere, that you link back to this topic rather than deeplinking the files and that if you use them you credit the source. So here they are...

Superboot - rooting the Galaxy Nexus
Superboot is a boot.img that when booted, will root your device the first time you boot (installing su and the superuser APK). No need to flash any partitions, no need to mess around with ADB, no messing with the contents of your data partition, no overwriting the shipped ROM on your device, just boot the boot image using the instructions below and you're done!
APPLY THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Superboot r1 - DOWNLOAD (Filesonic) - MD5: 1e988380d12fa3a4cc3e9db975e96b27
The superboot image is also 'insecure', allowing you to use 'adb remount' as well as having full ADB root access to your device until such time as you reboot after running this process (it's a non permanent ADB root as it's a 'fastboot boot' and not a 'fastboot flash').
How to use Superboot - Windows, Linux and OSX
- Download the Superboot zip file above and extract to a directory
- Put your device in bootloader mode - Turn off the phone then turn on with the 'volume up' and 'volume down' buttons both pressed to enter the bootloader (as pictured below)
- WINDOWS - double click 'install-superboot-windows.bat'
- MAC - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-superboot-mac.sh' followed by './install-superboot-mac.sh'
- LINUX - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-superboot-linux.sh' followed by './install-superboot-linux.sh'
Note: If you are using a retail Galaxy Nexus, you may need to unlock the bootloader first, using './fastboot-windows oem unlock' (or the appropriate version for your machine). Note that the OEM unlock sequence wipes your device.

Haha that pic was took with a iPhone. There's got to be a joke there somewhere ..

First time flashing a ROM using adb/fastboot (help)

So I'm trying to flash a ROM that will grant me root access and the person who made the ROM doesn't explain how to flash it.
I've heard of ADB and Fastboot before but I have no idea where to even start. This is the contents of the .zip:

I tried searching for a guide on how to flash a ROM with adb/fastboot but I'm not even sure if im searching for the right things

Anyone?

Before you flash a custom ROM, make sure you have a custom recovery installed. This is the part where ASB/FastBoot comes in.
The custom recovery may be CWM or TWRP, or anything at all which supports your device, look on the website of the recovery you want to use if they support your device or seach the XDA forums for one.
After downloading the recovery image, you can optionally rename it to recovery.img.
You can use the zip file you curently have, but I'll advice to use the adb installer which I've included as attachment.
Once you have ADB installed with the installer you can omen op a command promt (cmd.exe).
Make sure your device is turned on and USB debugging is enabled!
After ADB sees your device (with the command: adb devices), boot into fastboot using adb reboot bootloader.
After your phone has rebooted into the bootloader(fastboot), use the command: fastboot flash recovery (path/filename to recovery).img
Following these steps should allow you to install a custom ROM through the recovery you justs installed. if you also want to include superSU(if it's not included into the ROM you're using), flash the SuperSU2.02 falshable zip from chainfire.
But before you do anything of this, make sure you've got a compatible recovery and ROM!

Thanks for your help, I got it working. Much appreciated

[RECOVERY][k2ul/k2u] TWRP 2.8.4.0 touch recovery [24/01/2015]

Team Win Recovery Project 2.x, or twrp2 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. Its a fully touch driven user interface no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.

-Update libblkid to 2.25.0
-Use power button as back button on watch themes for easier navigation

You can unpack the recovery, and add it. Just make sure init.rc has it included as well and the images are also in the ramdisk. You can get what is needed from your stock recovery. A simple fix.

Hi,
i flash 2.8.4.0twrp, then make backup, after that (whit in recovery options) try to make factory reset, and after that my one sv is messed up like hell...
It is not booting...stuck for a while at htc logo, screen goes black, then loads bootloader, I am able to go to twrp (I have fresh backup of complete phone, did it with twrp above), but not able to flash anything...it fails every time, saying that is unable to mount cache...try advance wipe, but it is not able to mount any thing...
Since my phone was S-off, unlocked bootloader, superCID (it is k2ul), hboot2.0, I tryed with fastboot oem relock (to lock bootloader, and flash stock pl80img.zip) but that fails too, ends up with to many links message...and bootloader stays with tampered and unlocked sign...
So..now i have latest twrp and totaly messed up phone...
How can U help me, anny advice???
THX in advance!

How to flash?
Make sure you have unlocked your bootloader, guide can be found here.
Download, install and open Minimal ADB and Fastboot.
Execute adb reboot bootloader and your device will reboot into fastboot mode with the XOLO logo showing up. To ensure that your device is connected execute fastboot devices command and your device should be listed.
Download TWRP 3.0.2-2 for BLACK and then place it inside the Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder which could be found at C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot
Now execute fastboot boot twrp-3.0.2-2-black.img (If you don't want to flash the recovery and want to test it out before you do) and the device will temporarily boot into recovery mode.
If you want the recovery image to be flashed to your device then execute fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-2-black.img
Now, to reboot normally, execute fastboot reboot
How to reboot into TWRP recovery?
When your device is booted up normally, you can go to recovery mode via adb reboot recovery command or using third party apps which offer reboot options.
When your device is powered off, you can reboot to recovery by pressing both volume keys at the same time + power key.

Do you want to be able to modify your system partition(including rooting the device) at some point in the future? If so, check the box beside the "never show this screen during boot again" then just swipe the slider at the bottom to allow modifications in the future.
Or
If you do not plan to modify your system partition in any kind of way, tap the "keep read only" button.

This happened to me multiple times, for me it was an error with flashing Treble GSI from google, tho i fixed it by going in fastboot mode/bootloader and on my PC to flash boot, lk, lk2, recovery (official one) and then reboot my phone, but you will delete the TWRP Recovery just so you know.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
NOTE: I don't know if this will work for you and might brick your device if you don't use correct ROM files...
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Also if it then boots into Fastboot mode than you can try flashing all files (It will factory reset your phone)
You have to install adb and fastboot on your PC
Commands:
cd *the path to adb and fastboot*
fastboot devices
fastboot flash *what you wanna flash* *filename of the file that you wanna flash*
For Example if you wanna flash boot it will be like ( fastboot flash boot boot.img ) if the filename is with .bin wich most new devices use it will be fastboot flash boot boot.bin
Hope that this helps
