[Verizon] Semi-Bricked Nexus Is there a Fix?

So I kinda bricked my Nexus trying to return it to stock from Jelly Bean.

I saw these instructions here:

Only problem is I am using a Mac. Can someone translate it for me into Mac?

Hey Chris,

The flash-all.sh file that's contained within the factory image archive is actually a script you should be able to execute from the Mac Terminal prompt that will do the whole shebang for you.

After you've transferred and unpacked the factory image file onto your Mac, you should be able to secure that script for execution (chmod a+x flash-all.sh) and either reference it by an absolute pathname reference, or by a relative reference (. ./flash-all.sh)

Also, I did try to put several references and examples to Mac/Linux commands in my how-to-root thread:

http://androidforums.com/verizon-galaxy-nexus-all-things-root/469049-how-root-vzw-lte-samsung-galaxy-nexus.html

So, take a peek at that thread for examples of what you'll need (not the exact return to stock commands, mind you--just examples of how to run adb and fastboot commands from the Mac Terminal command line).

Full disclosure here (:p), my limited knowledge and experience with a Mac is with my daughter's Macbook, both of whom are away at college :), so, if you have any follow-up questions, there's a few Guides who are very knowledgeable with a Mac that I could contact for you (and me ;)).

Cheers and I hope that helps a bit.
