Yes it would work, but he just has to push a ROM with adb.
Its just one f***ing command.
I told him what to do, but he's too lazy too Google it and I won't spoon feed him with a step by step guide. There are enough out there.

Sorry dude. I tried the adb method but it didn't recognise the command. Probably because I didn't have the driver or something. Thanks anyways.

Lol, it didnt recognize the command because you didnt have adb binary in your PATH variable.

Stop using toolkits. I almost guarantee that's how you "accidentally" wiped your system.

Then you are saying everyone who doesnt want to learn command lines shouldnt have access to rooting and flashing new roms to their phone. Toolkits are easy and fast when you are in trouble and need to get back to stock. There isnt anything wrong with using them just because you dont have to put a command line in.

Do you read these forums? So many people could fix their problems with a couple commands, but they have no idea how to do anything because of these toolkits. They make the user lazy and ignorant.

Anyone coming into the android rooting, flashing roms, ect are kind of ignorant because they dont know everything. If we stay in the days of only using command lines and not coming up with faster ways to help our devices then that is being ignorant. There is just more than one way to do something. Just because someone uses a faster way it doesnt make then lazy but makes them open to new ways of doing things...

Using a toolkit is what is ignorant. With adb it is virtually impossible to "accidentally" do anything. Anybody who believes toolkits to be superior is either an idiot or too lazy to learn adb.
i would say that i have always tried to learn here, thats my goal , i dont know about other people and i dont criticize them , but it really frustrates me if i dont know whats going on when i am doing something. still TOO MUCH to learn:good:
Toolkit is only faster if you don't know how to use adb/ fastboot. Its only faster because you don't know what you're doing it takes me the same amount of time typing commands than using a toolkit basically I'm just waiting for the files to flash and move on to the next step. It isn't like when you're using a toolkit it can magically type and execute all the commands at the same time there is still a process being done.

Could someone PLEASE be kind enough to try to explain how to place a Nandroid backup into the TWRP folder using ADB??
PLEASE.
While some people on here are very skilled at what they do others are not and those people sometimes forget that and don't explain things clearly...
Following half-assed instructions now has my Sprint Galaxy Nexus telling me there's "no sim card" and I have no service...
I did find a Nandroid backup but I have to put in in the TWRP folder using ADB and I have no clue how to...
any/all "help" that I seem to find makes no sense because, like I said, some folks assume EVERYONE is a developer with 10 years experience and their 5-word instructions will explain everything...
I've been searching for hours with no luck...
anyway, if someone can please tell me what to do I'd be greatly appreciative.
thanks.
Simple download that nandroid. Make a nandroid... then mount the phone to your PC. Then find the twrp folder in the internal storage on the computer and go into the backups then into the long gibberish folder and paste that nandroid in there should be a date.... then go into recovery and restore it.... no adb needed I just did this for my phone.

I've searched and read many ways to root, install CWM and many of the tutorials I've found were differents.
So I decided to ask people who did it what they have used. Did you use the nexus root toolkit from Wugfesh? The Galaxy Nexus toolkit? Or did you use the CLI (Fastboot , ADB) ?
What is the safest way? The easiest way?
I would to root my Nexus. I did it with my Galaxy S and I realy think it worth it but I always feel a little bit unsafe when I know it could brick my phone.
So again, according to you, how should I root my Galaxy Nexus?
Just don't use a toolkit.
[VZW/SPRINT/GSM][Guide] Ultimate Galaxy Nexus Guide (Unlock/Root/Flash Roms/FAQ)
It LITERALLY takes 5 mins to root, flash custom recovery, and then a custom ROM. The "hard" part is installing the drivers on your computer.
I used the Wugfresh toolkit. It was very easy. You can also use the toolkit to flash roms. I like it.
Is it possible to root a stock Galaxy Nexus without installing a custom recovery? I have no real interest in flashing a ROM. I would like root access on my stock ROM though with as little modification as possible.
You can temporarily boot a custom recovery

If you have previous experience with rooting/ unlocking, using ADB and Odin, in case something goes wrong, then there is nothing wrong about using toolkits.
If you don't have previous experience, read a lot first, then go the safer way, use ADB.
Download the correct .tar file for your phone, download Odin and always keep them handy, when you tinker with your phone, you never know when something may go wrong

For root and flash custom recovery on my galaxy nexus for the first time I used the toolkit and I found it very easy and convenient, because you only need to be connected via adb and the program does the rest.. However, I think I have overestimated his knowledge of Android, sorry

I think what Mach3.2 was trying to say is that if you use a toolkit:
1) you don't learn anything;
2) if something doesn't work, it is very difficult to figure out what, as the toolkit hides everything from you;
3) if you follow a step-by-step, you see EXACTLY what goes wrong where.

Did all the images flash successfully?
If so, try re-flashing the system, boot and userdata images, and re-erase the cache.

This is the main reason why you are asking this question, not to bash you, but it's the hard truth..
Now follow and learn what martonikaj gave you, you will be good to go, Thank him later.
Anyway sorry about the gender issue..
I remember seeing a program that u would install on your PC called like 1 click root and had a very nice GUI with tons of options to simply 1 click root your Nexus. Is this program still out there or what program is the best? I do want Superuser rights as well.
I do not want to flash a new ROM. I like the stock experience. I just need a little more access.
I am having problems with the new jelly bean update and Fox Fi no longer works. I got Easy Tether to work but I want a hot spot that works not USB.
I am hoping I can fix this with rooting or a third party APP.
I really hope I do not have to flash, but if I do have to I will only want to flash another stock ROM but one that is fully unlocked.

fastboot oem unlock, fastboot a custom recovery, flash a custom rom or the su binaries in your new custom recovery, reboot and profit.. theres no work involved.

Bingo.
Which leaves fastboot as simply the best program to root your Nexus(any Nexus).
Fastboot is really easy, just copy and paste a few commands.
Hell, finding the correct drivers and installing the SDK is harder than fastboot commands.
on top of that, this procedure under windows is way much harder than on linux, imo.

Not just your opinion, that's just a fact lol. You don't have to deal with drivers on Linux or OSX, which makes it 1000x easier.
The drivers are a killer.........
So much that i downloaded the toolkit to install the drivers for my nexus 7 and just dump it aside after that, don't want to deal with drivers anymore..
Now i don't recommend this..
I tried download a Custom ROM from Rom manger and there was an error so it aborted the instillation
Now i Restarted my phone and it would turn back on
and now i cant even go to my Recovery Mode.....

But, but... that's why there are toolkits and ROM Manager, right?
I don't even have Rom manager on my phone anymore, to me it's kinda useless, I've never tried flashing anything from it for this reason, you can't tell what phone it's for, I always hear more stories of it messing things up versus doing what you wanted. Just do it the safe way by downloading the right rom for your phone to your computer and transfer it over to your sd card and flash from recovery, and always have a backup ready for times you mess up.
