All operations from the Toolkit will be performed in fastboot and not in the main phone mode ??
Look at the Toolkit,what is it telling you ??
Its just taking a backup so no need to worry,your phone won't get bricked

I think for performing a Nandroid you need to unlock+root first. Just follow the instructions! The developer has given clear cut instructions on each page. I would suggest select the appropriate build of your phone (that could be the problem) and perform the 1 click for all unlock+root. That is why I prefer rooting right away after getting the phone else there is lots to back up. And yes, backing up takes time. Perform dry runs too.

Still if you want to backup without rooting and unlocking, go to the toolkit and select option 2 and follow the instructions. Don't perform a Nandroid if its not rooted (it won't allow anyhow). The toolkit then backs up the data and stores it in the "Backups" Folder of the toolkit installation directory. It has a .bak extension. Post to that you can safely proceed to 1 click unlock+root. Also do not put any encyption password for your backup. I forgot that and was in some trouble

You need to put the device in fastboot mode (manually) and select the option in the toolkit that says "Perfoem all"
Also few things worth noting while using that toolkit
-Make sure battery is above 70 percent
-Remember to install the CORRECT drivers for the phone (the toolkit option to install drivers), check your build/model no. if you go wrong you may end up weeping in the corner. If you go wrong, uninstall all the drivers and do a pc reboot, start again
-Always make a backup on a gmail account for your contacts

Thats for Nexus 7. Not the Galaxy Nexus. Go here for the Galaxy Nexus (Gnex toolkit v7.8)

Bought a white GNex yesterday.. Came with ICS on board with no update to JB available.. Booted to fastboot and installed JB thanks to the guys at xda.. Phone is just awesome, no wonder Samsung is not selling it officially in India..
Stock ROM is too bad imo, but some people love it. Install 'Easy Battery Saver' and put it on Intelligent mode else your battery will suffer from loose motions. If you wish to try custom ROMs, use Xenon HD or Paranoidandroid.

I got Jelly Bean 4.1.1 OTA update for my Galaxy Nexus I9250 today.:yahoo:
I had bought my GNexus in Mumbai a fortnight back and had automatically updated to ICS 4.0.4 OTA on home WiFi.
Todays update was a surprise, but It happened when I was attending Google G-Day Function in Mumbai and using their free WiFi.
Was it a coincidence and Jelly Bean upgrade is now available to GNexus in India or was I lucky to attend and get the upgrade?
Can someone clarify ?

Haha, I think it was just a coincidence, sounds funny if google pushed JB OTA update only for GDay attendees. BTW how was the GDay Mumbai? Did you win mugs?
15k for a 6 month old phone is a fair price, check the phone for any screen issues such as the purple tint or black spots on the screen.

Has anyone else got the upgrade ?
Yes, I got the Google Mug. And a Tee shirt to all. It was fun but arrangements were rather spartan (I have also attended similar events by Adobe, Amazon, MS, Symantec etc.)

Two best roms for GNex as of now
1). XenonHD vXII - Prefect Rom without any issues, great battery life
2). CNA 3.5.0 - Another superb rom with lot more customization and features compared to XenonHD, but battery life is average.
dont know why Cyanogen 10 hasn't impressed me much this time when compared to CM9...
