Screwed up bootimg, no custom ROMs install :(
Hello!
So a while ago a started a thread here asking for help cause one of my previous custom rom installs failed. Long story short, I couldn't boot into anything, custom recovery was gone and only the bootloader and stock recovery were accessible.
Luckily post 11 got my phone working (at least I can get it to boot into stock).
However, now that I had my phone working again, following the same instructions DOES NOT allow me to install most roms. I managed to root it with oneclick, but only some custom ROMs work, some don't.
I wanted to go back to Cyanogen, but during install it gives me a status 7 update and the installation is aborted
going through other custom ROMs, only the MIUI "the bundle" ROM installs for me with no problems.
Even when it does install, I notice that in recovery it says there is no sd-ext.
I asked for help in another forum where a user posted his own ROM and he said status 7 usually means I have messed up my bootimg (which I suspect is from the problem I first had). So I tried doing this but I keep getting: "FAILED: <remote: signature verify fail"
I'd really like to fix these problems so that I can install customs roms and in general allow me to jump back to stock like I could before. Any help please?

Galaxy Nexus? I like Nexus prime more. Even the code name "Maguro" seemed cooler.

The post 11 link isn't English, so I've no idea what you did, but if it reverted you to stock, you can't use the same method to root and flash custom ROMs.
Which boot version, recovery, and radio do you have?

Here is some info:
HBOOT-.35.0017
I'm using clockwork recovery (from ROM manager)
Radio-5.08.00.04 (If you mean going by the FR naming scheme... It says FRF91)
I've just read over that wiki, and it turns out I have already tried these methods...
Here are the problems I encounter when trying to revert to stock (following this):
Using PASSIMG method:
It either tells me "HBOOT main version is older" or it scans the PASSIMG and does nothing (tried 4 different files). Either way I cannot apply the PASSIMG.
Does "HBOOT main version is older" mean I would need to apply some kind of update to HBOOT itself to make the PASSIMG to work?
Using fastboot:
At step 6: "fastboot erase userdata " doesn't work. I did a wipe from recovery and it tells me there is no SD-EXT... but it completes anyway.
Step 9-11: gives me a "FAILED: <remote: signature verify fail" error and I am not able to proceed.

Bootloader is probably the problem, but it's because you have the newer Korean version...
Use this to roll back bootloader to 33:
