Accidently flashed CDMA Rom on a GSM phone. - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So yeah, I have a Samsung Galaxy Nexus and I accidently flashed a CDMA Rom on it and it's supposed to be GSM. Now I can't get signal on it whatever I do.
I tried restoring it with a google signed 4.0.1 but that didn't help. Do I have to unroot or something? Thanks in advance for help..
Been sitting here without a phone for 2 days and it sucks.

Oh, how do I know which are stockroms? And what's an RUU?
Shouldn't the ROM i downloaded that was googlesigned with 4.1.1 be a stockrom?

Ruu is a stock Rom, flash another Rom but make sure its gsm then you should be fine

So if someone accidentally flashed a CDMA ROM to a phone, flashing a GSM ROM back to the phone will take care of the issue? Is it possible a phone could get STUCK in CDMA mode?

Meaning, get your phone back into a known-good state. Then go back and make your modifications or flash your ROMs making sure that you follow all the steps to do it properly. If you can't find the steps, need to do research to know what those are.

Lockbootlader
Rename ruu as (PH98IMG) put on sd boot to hboot
Runn ruu twice.
Then unlock (fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin)
Flash custom recovery (prefer amonRa)

Make a Custom Stock ICS ROM with the new mount point for JB and also the ICS boot.img with it's modules.
If we have a CWM or TWRP recovery JB then we can restore nandroid and fastboot flash the ICS boot.img

[Q] Running .10 rooted with custom recovery, how do I get .12?

Hello, Im pretty new when it comes to rooting/custom recoveries on Android. Today I got the notification that AT&T had a software update so naturally I grabbed it. I re-booted the phone but loaded into TWRP and the update didn't take. I researched a little and came to find out that you can't do OTA updates if you're running custom recoveries. My question now is what's the best way for me to get it? Im running the stock rom from HTC, I'm just rooted and have no desire to run any custom roms at this time (Such as Cyanogen or the like). I've looked around and seen a few .12 custom stock roms, but I've also seen the leaked .ruu file. Not sure how to proceed in terms of getting the update installed. All I really want it is the updated firmware along with my current root access. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am pretty noobish when it comes to this.
Best way is if you are stock rooted now is to flash the stock . 12 rooted that scrosler posted. You can flash without wiping if you want

Just flash from recovery. It doesn't wipe anything

No it's not hard at all, but as I said I'm not looking for any custom roms..simply wanted to remain stock with the latest firmware upgrade. Not sure if the the leaked .ruu that came out a week or so ago would accomplish this or not.

no your phone will not pass the update check
Even though I have the update file already have the update zip? Sorry, I'm incredibly new to android and don't really know how the ota updates function. I just hate to flash a whole Rom for a 20 mb update.

why? the space it will take up on the phone will be the same.
Update OTA's aren't structured like rom's that are packaged for custom recoveries.
Update OTA's also check to make sure the necessary parts are already on the phone so they only update the changed files. If you have altered your device in any way, the OTA will fail. This is a good thing. Less support calls from users whose updates fail.

[ROM][OTA] 3.17.651.4 Stock Rooted Base

Freshly pulled from my OTA-updated device and built as-is from stock.
Only thing I did was add su binary to allow root access. Didn't even install SuperSU (you can do that from the Play Store).
DOWNLOAD
I'm deodexing currently and will upload that version shortly as well.
DOWNLOAD - Deodexed
I'll also upload my rooted version of the OTA file (with firmware removed) which will allow you to flash the OTA with TWRP (but ONLY if your device has zero modifications to /system). You'll have to flash the boot.img through fastboot, which I will attach to this post (this version is signed, straight from the firmware zip).
Rooted OTA only Download
Confused about what this is, or what to flash? See this post by barleysoda which explains it very well.
Link is live, folks. If someone would be kind enough to make sure it actually works, I'd appreciate it .
Thanks captain!!
Downloading now. Thanks Captain!
Works for me. Thank you!
Deodexed version, and Rooted OTA now up as well. Go to town, lol .
Not that there's any reason to update to this version. A few minor changes are doubtful to have much of an effect. The firmware *might* make a difference, but that's in a different thread .
Sorry for the n00b questions, but:
What is the difference between the first link and the third link?
Is the boot.img required for all?
Thanks!

1st and 2nd links are full stock rooted ROMs. 3rd link is the OTA only, which will require the boot image to be flashed additionally. You have to be on stock 3.16 software for that to work, as it says.

Thanks for the fast reply!
Sorry, I'm used to just flashing the new nightly builds straight on AOSP.
Right now, I'm stock rooted, so I'd go for the 3rd one, right?
You can try it, I guess. But you'll have to flash the boot.img too, as I said. If it doesn't work just flash one of the full ROMs.
Did the update come with a new radio? If so can I have a link to it? Thanks. I updated through the bootloader. It asked me if I wanted to update once I put out pin my external sd card and renamed it. It said successful. But my radio didn't change.

To update the phone. I'd like to update the radios, and do I NEED to be on a stock Rom, instead of Bareback or a modified stock rom like SuperJelly, to update?
There seem to be 3 things to download, the Rooted OTA, the boot.img, and the radios on your MikMik page.
God I hate these OTA updates. Such a hassle, every damn time, but I want to have the latest updates.
And to try to prevent any further drop down the rabbit hole, I am s-off.

If you want to update your radios, hit up Captain's firmware thread in development and follow the instructions for updating. If you want the stock rooted ROM, download one of the stock rooted ROM's from this thread (the first two links). The ROM zips don't contain the new firmware, which is why you'll have to update that separately.

[Q] Restore to stock software

I recently got an HTC Evo 4g LTE used and it came with Cyanogenmod 10.1.3. I thought that this would be nice, as I have several friends who use Cyanogenmod. However, I can't activate the phone with my carrier (Ting) unless I have the stock software. I found vipeRUU, and believe that that will restore my phone. However, I just want to make sure that the versions of the software on my phone and vipeRUU match and are compatible so that I don't wreck my phone. What do I need to check on my phone to make sure that vipeRUU will work? I'd be happy to post any info about my phone; I haven't because I'm new at this and don't know what info you need. Also, I have twrp installed if that makes a difference.
Or should I just use DirtyRacun to RUU?
If you are S-off, then VipeRUU will work. There is also a 3.17 RUU that was recently released that you can run if you're S-on. Really, though, all you need to do is flash a Sense ROM and you should be able to accomplish everything you need to.
