Unzip the .tar file you downloaded, then rename that resulting file to .zip and unzip it.

I was having a really tough time flashing the 4.1.1 Jelly Bean to the Galaxy Nexus because Win7 64-bit kept disconnecting and adb didn’t show any devices. There is a file in the zip file called flash_all.bat. So Step 1: adb reboot bootloader. Step 2: flash_all.bat. Then sit back and relax and watch magic happen.

Your phone isn’t seen by your computer correctly. Check u have USB debugging enabled. In linux, you might need to run using sudo

Why does it say ”
fastboot -w” is not an external/internal command, and wont do anything. All other commands were working just fine.

From what I understand, if you do a clean install like this, the device reboot twice and reboots do take a longer while than normal. It took me about 4 minutes before I reach to my lockscreen. If it’s around or under 4, it’s all good. If it’s taking above 7 minutes, now that could be bootloop.

fastboot & adb files have been moved to platform-tools, yes. However if you copy unzipped contents under /platform-tools and start cmd there, it doesn’t work. Just extract contents under /tools and start cmd there. I have just done this and successfully restored to android 4.0.2 from Liquid Smooth 4.0.4.

Thanks a lot whoever wrote this article. I was starting to freak out since my Liquid Smooth Rom screens were showing 24-bit color icons and there was no way to raise up the resolution.

I did the method above twice successfully but now have lost the ability to use WiFi. Any suggestions? The network names all have worked before. Thanks for any help that you can give

I have been at my wits end with the bootlooping. I thought something terrible happened to the phone, or that I installed a bad image. I’ve been dealing with this for 4 hours now. I finally read this post, and my fingers are crossed that this solves the problem. I really just want this phone to work again.
