Just did some research on my own and turns out we need to be on stock recovery. So I'm just going to flash the build from droid-life over CWM instead of reflashing the stock recovery.

Can you translate that into english? I rooted with WUG's tool, and didn't do anything else, so it's still stock. Do I just need to get rid of root either using OTA Rootkeeper or WUG's tool, or do I need to do anything more. What does "Stock recovery" mean and what does CWM mean? Sorry for the newbie questions.

Stock recovery is just the stock, out-of-the-box recovery. I am using ClockworkMod Recovery from ROM Manager, and I'm unfamiliar with WUG's tool. No, you don't need to get rid of root.

I decided to go back to stock, locked / unroot by using the following link:

-Unbrick, Unroot, Relock, Restore your Galaxy Nexus to Factory

This is a bit confusing but I figured it out. Once I got it back to stock I went into the market and updated the google apps figuring they mat need to be current, not sure.

Went back in and checked for updates. Followed: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/ga...ust-forced-ota-update-my-phone-heres-how.html to force the update..... The OTA downloaded and installed successfully this time.
