Apologies for this question as I should have deleted my backup first. Here goes:

I am preparing my GNex for sale so decided to install a factory image. Fine did this. Then I flashed the stock recovery and OTA updated to 4.2.2.. Then I couldn't remember if I had deleted my CWM backups. When flashing the factory image I was asked something about data and I answered yes. Again apologies as I should have been paying attention. Now I have tried to get back into CWM by rerooting etc. but I have a problem. My volume keys are bust so I can't get into fastboot. I have tried to use the toolkit to boot into fastboot but it says the device is off line. One other thing - I did not relock the boot loader.

So my question is: Did flashing the factory image completly wipe the phone? Has my cwm backup been erased? Or do I need to install the sdk to get into fastboot or maybe there is a trick with the toolkit (I have uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers and they seem good).

Thanks.

If you answered 'yes' to formatting userdata when flashing the stock image then your phone will be wiped including Internal Storage. You cannot do anything to get this data back as the wipe is quite complete.

Taken from the first post:

You should then be able to use the Toolkit with your device but I doubt there is any data left on there.

Thanks Mark. I don't want the data back so I am happy. I was just struggling to get the toolkit working again but I don't need to worry now as I won't be selling a phone with my data on it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Trident:
Trying to get CWM recovery on my Sprint GNex. I just want to be able to wipe battery stats.

Currently have a CM10.1 ROM installed.

Nothing I do will get the toolkit to connect, get me into fastboot or do anything. I can't seem to find the setting to turn on USB debugging, so that may be the issue. I currently have TWRP installed, but I don't see the setting for the battery stat wipe anywhere there.

Any help appreciated.

Go to the about phone menu and tap the build number like 7 times to access developer menu to turn on USB debugging.

You can use this to root. Just use the fh05(android 4.1.1) option, unless the tool kit is updated to the ga02(4.2.2). It should work fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fredgar75:
Thanks for the quick response. I will hold you responsible if I screw up my wifes phone. LOL JK Thanks again.

SAMSUNG GALAXY NEXUS TOOLKIT AUTO UPDATE V10.5.6 [18TH MAR 2013] AVAILABLE!!

Changelog:

+Added 4.2.2 build support for Sprint and Verizon variants

+Updated SuperSu [root] files to V1.25 for all root procedures

+Updated TWRP Touch Recovery to 2.4.4.0

+Fixed Toolkit not Auto Updating properly from Toolkit Settings section

+Added text in drivers section about disabling Driver Signature Enforcement

+Fixed several bugs I encountered after the last run of tests

+Added text in Model Selection screen to support new builds when available

For people who do not want or cannot get the Auto Update versions you can download 4.2.2 (if available) from http://goo.im/devs/mskip/stock and flash it via the Toolkit. You can download TWRP 2.4.4.0 from http://goo.im/devs/mskip/recovery/galaxy_nexus and flash it via the Toolkit. You can also update from adb files for 4.2.2 by downloading http://goo.im/devs/mskip/toolkit/adb_fastboot_files_for_4.2.2.zip and overwriting the files. SuperSU can be updated to the latest version from the app.

[Auto Updates are only accessible if you have donated to the Toolkit project, received an activation code and unlocked the professional features. Auto Updates are a much faster and easier way of pushing small updates that would otherwise not be worth doing. I can push a single textual change or add support for a new build without having to go through the whole process of building a full version and uploading a large file. IF you are not able to or do not want to donate to unlock the Auto Update feature (and other professional features) then all the smaller updates are collated and a full build made when I have time or if there are enough updates to warrant it. This is the easiest way to make sure all the Toolkits are as up to date as possible. IF you have any views about this please pm me about them and do not post in the open thread]

Say Mark,

I donated and it auto-updated to 10.5.2.

But now I'm using it after a while to get 4.2.2 and it just hangs at "update server located" or after it shows 10.5.7 as new available.

Entering the activation code again, is says "activation code successful" and hangs.

what to do?

Fastboot Status

I need some help with rooting my Nexus. I have followed all the guides I have been able to find and searched the forums but I am still having the same issue.

Using this tool I have installed the drivers and I am able to view my serial number on the main screen. I am able to unlock the device as well; however, i cannot root my sprint nexus. When I select that option it sends my phone into the fast boot mode but then my phone locks up while booting with the unlocked padlock on the screen and a 'FASTBOOK STATUS - OKAY'

In the tool is just sits and says 'waiting for device'

The only way I can remove it from this status is to pull that battery. I have tried wiping the drivers and installing with the PDANet drivers, I have tried the Samsung drivers, I have tried the drivers from this tool as well as the 'Nexus Root Toolkit'

I am now downloading the SDK to see where that gets me. Any suggestions? I have tried this on two laptops, one XP and one Windows 7. I am at a loss. Thanks for any help you can provide!!! Please ask if you need more info.

SAMSUNG GALAXY NEXUS TOOLKIT AUTO UPDATE V11.2.5 [9TH JUNE 2013] AVAILABLE!!

Changelog:

+Split up Model Files into much smaller size so only build selected is downloaded

+Changed Toolkit download method [now using cURL instead of wget] for all downloads and added auto resume

+Uploaded Model Files to SkipSoft.net and added option to download Model File from SkipSoft.net or goo.im

+Uploaded newer Stock Rom images to SkipSoft.net and added option to download firmware image from SkipSoft.net or goo.im

+Added option in Model Selection screen to go straight to Main Menu (bypasses model file download)

+Updated firmware flash code to fix minor bugs

+Updates and fixes to main code to improve Toolkit stability

A big reason for this update was that goo.im has been very unstable lately and users have been unable to download model files and stock firmware images. I have therefore uploaded all the model files and the newer stock firmware images to skipsoft.net and given the option to download those files from skipsoft.net or goo.im. This should keep everything running smoothly even if one site goes down. I have also replaced wget with cURL to download files from within the Toolkit and added auto resume to downloads to help users with slower unstable connections. I will be doing this to all the Nexus Toolkits over the next few days.

Noticed that goo.im has been having very slow dl rates (even as a sponsor), so i couldn't wait countless hours for a 50 second download.Here are the stock .tgz's images from dl.google.com. https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?hl=es-ES#mysidsprga02.

Also I hope the OP moves the downloads to another server. I'ts even taking a long time just to update the client.

Now that Android 4.3 released, will the toolkit be upgraded as well? And will there be a possibility to keep root after updating?

From what I hear, Sprint users won't be getting 4.3 officially. Just like with 4.2.2, we'll be getting it through 3rd party sources.
