When/where does the flash process fail? Is it after you select the file while in recovery mode? Is it during the installation process when you can see the code running through the installation? Does it give you an error message, or just stops midway through the installation? Did you wipe data, cache, and dalvik?
Sorry for the barrage of questions, but the more details the better
Thanks for the reply, I'll step by step it for you...
1)Already unlocked and rooted via wugfresh
2)Launch advanced utilities, select boot/flash (tried both temp and perm)
3)Choose bugless beast boot image (pete_tora_ota_2012_07_09
4)it starts to do it's thing and a driver in win 7 attempts to be found, samsung mobile mtp device, fails to find it automatically, I fail to find it manually, even though I already successfully completed the driver installation for wugfresh ealier
5)at that time it only shows google with the unlock symbol. I reboot and i'm back, actually nothing was bricked because it really hasn't started.
What I have done since, I tried to locate mtp drivers, came up with Samsung kies, didn't work. No other solutions at this point..
Your thoughts?
thx

I'm a noob, first time attempting this. I thought this was how to do it within wugfresh... I wanted to use the bugless beast. I have a working unlocked, rooted vz nexus... I have already downloaded the bugless beast, what is next then if my steps above (numbers 2&3) are not correct?
thx,

Copy the file you downloaded to your phone. Download ROM Manager from the Play Store and then flash ClockworkMod Recovery (the first option at the top after you open the app). After the recovery is installed select Install ROM from SD Card. Navigate to where you saved the file on your phone and select it. Select all three of the options that pop up and click okay.
I recommend you review scaryAlien's thread first though.

i recommend that you don't flash the rom from Rom Manager. I would only use Rom Manager to flach CWM. Then i would boot into recovery and install the bugless.zip from within CWM.
make sure you verify the MD5 of your bugless download also don't forget Gapps if that Rom doesn't have it included.

I agree with this. Here's step by step:
1. Open Rom Manager, click Click flash ClockworkMOD Recovery. Let it do its thing.
2. After that, while still in Rom Manager, click Reboot Reboot into Recovery.
3. This will take you into the CWM bootloader. Select "install zip from SD Card", then "choose zip", then scroll down and find the Bugless Beast zip file. Click, and then confirm the install.
4. Do the same thing for Google Apps (gapps) if that ROM requires it (I think gapps are included in the zip already though).
5. Click "go back" until you get to the main menu, then click "reboot".
6. Profit!

I haven't used Bugless Beast, but it seems like a solid build. I was on Jelly Belly for a week or two, then switched to XenonHD and like it better. It looks like Bugless comes with gapps, but you can check the rootz wiki thread to be sure.
I guess it is not meant to be. I flashed the bugless beast via rom manager and it completed successfully. When it booted it got stuck at the nexus logo never to boot. I did a recovery via wugfresh and am just about to give up and wait for Verizon to release Nexus jb after SIII (which will really piss me off lol)
Unless you guys have some last minute tips? thx again

For whatever reason, I have to let mine sit for about 4-5 minutes when it is booting up. A majority of that time is spent on the Google Logo, but it does seem to take a couple of minutes on the nexus x. I am running the 7/19 build of BB.
Hmm, I wonder if I should of let it sit longer... the logo seemed to just sit there for many minutes.. could it be that I need to wait longer first time like longer than 5 min?

I know that I look at the clock whenever I reboot and sweat bullets until it finishes. I jumped the gun and flashed back to stock and lost everything a couple weeks ago. I have made sure to back up every day.

a lot of people have reported slow boot times on the JB roms especially the first boot. I would let it sit at least 10 minutes. Also did you do a factory wipe before flashing the bugless.zip?
No I don't think I did. So, do a wug fresh back to stock, make sure it it's unlocked and rooted and let her rip again? Then give it 10 plus minutes of just the nexus logo doing it's thing?
thx,

I'm right at the spot where I want to go for it, but I haven't done the Root/ROM thing. Wugfresh has been easy to play with, I got the drivers all set I just wasn't sure about the next steps and booting into recovery etc. Bugless sounds like the winner for me. This thread might have given me that final bit of confidence. Thanks, all!
- Antonio said this, and I replied below. Can someone post the required MTP driver?
