So i'm brand new to the whole unlock, root and flashing thing.

I just tried flashing Ubuntu touch on my Galaxy Nexus (international GSM/HSPA+) and everything seamed fine until the very end when i got this ERROR message.

ERROR:phablet-flash:Installation is taking too long or an error occured along the way.

I didn't know what to do so i disconnected my device (which was in Ubuntu recovery) and tried rebooting it from there, it worked "sort of".

i got the Google logo with the unlocked icon then it continued to a black screen. In the installation guide on http://www.ubuntu.com/phone/install said i should:

"try wiping the /data partition on your device and redeploy".

the problem is that i don't know how to do this and i'm basically sitting here with a useless phone right now.

I would be extremely grateful for some proffeexpert help.
