I went ahead with trying to flash my phone anyhow, and it's still stuck in bootloop after this:

So I'm trying to flash adb my android (mostly following this guide), and I'm getting stuck at the unlock device step. I can successfully unlock, but once I reboot my device it reverts to being locked. Apparently I'm unable to continue to the next step without having my device rebooted after it's unlocked.

(I have tried using the volume keys to reboot bootloader, and terminal to reboot it. Neither work.)

I'm using a mac, Samsung Galaxy Nexus, and my initial problem was that my phone was (and still is) stuck in a reboot cycle.

EDIT: So this is exactly what I've been doing.

1. Open terminal
2. cd to platform-tools, where I have an up to date adb, fastboot, and a zip file as well as the uncompiled version of image-yakju-jdq39 (Factory Image "yakju" for Galaxy Nexus "maguro" (GSM/HSPA+)).
3. Volume up+Volume down+ power on (I get a screen with Fastboot mode in red at the bottom, and a picture of an android being operated on. I don't think it matters if I change the "start" thing with the volume buttons, but I'll keep it there.).
4. Plug the USB cable in.
5. ./fastboot devices, I get my phones serial number on terminal
6. ./fastboot oem unlock.
7. Terminal gives me this: ... OKAY [ 10.016s] finished. total time: 10.016s While on my phone I get the unlock confirmation screen, which I follow through with, and now my phone says it's unlocked (and in blue at the bottom: Fastboot status - OKAY).
8. ./fastboot reboot starts my phone, but it's clearly still stuck in a bootloop. So I forcefully turn it off, and go back to the fastboot mode, where it's back at the locked status. Is that supposed to happen?

I'm using a mac, Samsung Galaxy Nexus, and my initial problem was that my phone was (and still is) stuck in a reboot cycle. I'm pretty sure this was caused by trying to copy too many files to my android via USB cable (not the sd card, I don't have one).
