Is this a GSM image or a Verizon LTE image?

In the event I do root, I want to be prepared to go back to stock.

It's GSM.

"Maguro" is GSM, "Toro" is CDMA/LTE

Hey please help,

I think i have bricked my phone..all it does is still at the boot up screen and does not do anything and i have no recovery img please how do i get my phone back :(

Download the factory image from http://code.google.com/android/nexus/images.html#yakjuitl41d

and do not know what to do please help

I followed the following and it has not done anything....just keeps sitting at the boot screen over and over again

I found a forum that posted a link to a German Samsung site. It lists the files needed to change the GNex to the Google build YAKJU - ITL4F, radio 19250XXKK1, PrimeKJ10 bootloader, Google branded.

The instructions are in German but it is pretty simple. Go here http://samsung.de/de/Privatkunden/Mo...e9e4&dl=manual to get the two files needed to run the update. It is totally automatic, no other setup is required and it is stock as far as I can see. It worked great for me. One file is the install USB app the other is the ROM installer.

Install USB drivers

Run the ROM installer

Phone off (start with volume down/Power button)

Plug-in the USB cable LAST

Hit start button in ROM installer app

Wait and don't turn off the phone

And I cannot see the internal hardrive on my laptop...it says that fastboot command failed when i press the volume keys n pwr

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Vangelis13:
Thank you so very much!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Reavern:
Thanks for this. Worked on my yakjudv (Telstra Australia).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thatg:
hey i run the bat and it just says waiting for device, im in fastboot and drivers are installed says adb device in device manager, does anyone have any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] evodog:
I had the same issue. If you have fastboot installed, run "fastboot devices" on the command prompt to see if the phone shows up. If it does, try executing the commands manually. If device doesn't show up, u have to redo the USB driver installation.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cheetah2k:
Can someone share these files on another server? The German site is not working properly

Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] diablonyc2:
Wow ---- it WORKED. I was having a hard time flashing YakJu on my phone but I got this to WORK. What was wierd is I had all files in a folder on the C:\ directory and it DID NOT work. I moved all files outside the folder to C: and PRESTO. It worked! Now to hope Google pushes me updates!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sishgupta:
Sounds like you didn't change your working directory or use full file paths.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nory82688:
wow man thanks for this! this zip file just saved me from a soft boot or something. i flashed the cm9 kang and everything seemed fine for a while until i tried flashing a kernel ( that shouldve worked because it was made for 4.0.3) and i got stuck at the "google" boot screen. after that i went into recovery and tried to flash my recoveries, but they all failed at "restoring data" . so i was kind of screwed and really still dont know what went wrong. but after some troubleshooting for about an hour i came across yor factory image (thank god!) and ran the bat file and now everything is fine. so now im going to try to get back to AOKP build 13 where i shouldve stayed lol thanks again man
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danibravo:
so if i flash this factory image using CWM, does this restore it to stock kernel as well? i decided to return my GNEX since next month the 32 gig version is releasing
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Is this the latest version of android 4.0 for the GSM GNex? or has a newer version come out? I am new to the GNex and just wanted to make sure this is the latest version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Yes, the 4.0.2 (ICL53F) is the latest version for the GSM version.

Hey Guys,

still got that broken image on my GN as when I discovered the problem I already had everything set up fine. As I had no problem yet, I didnt feel the need to fix it. I hoped for Samsung to fix this OTA.

I figured out hoping for Samsung to fix any software is worth **** and today tried to update my Google Navigation stopped with that signature problem -.-

Can anyone confirm, that this ...

.. works?

After this post there was only one reaction asking if you need root to do this. I would really love to keep everything/be able to restore it. Will widgets and stuff be backuped as well? I have some Tasker, Minimalstic Text Widgets and stuff and really dont want to set them up again..

Thanks guys
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mbirth:
It works. It will restore most apps and settings.

I don't remember exactly, but I think it even restored the apps' databases and thus all settings. I'd probably do a settings export from Tasker, Minimalistic Text, etc. anyways.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lexo:
Thanks, as 4.0.4. is released today and I am still stuck on 4.0.1 I will try.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JohninLA:
Ok people are saying different things about the Galaxy Nexus Verizon version

having micro sd. I just saw a video with Verizon LTE on the back of the phone and the guy had an sd installed!! So is this true and if so is it 32gb or 16gb?

I am sooo impatient and want to get the international version from Negri electronics but can anyone truly tell me the pros and cons and the differences between the two...I have watched videos and dont see an interface difference and I know one is hspa+(global) and one is cdma/lte but what is the real difference? A small lag with the Tmobile version wont make a huge difference to me although LTE would be nice. Help I need specifics and cannot get a definitive answer on the storage issue and I dont want to spend $800 and be completely dissapointed..Thanks guys-----From John in L.A.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
video link? perhaps it was the SIM card...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neok44:
there is NO SD card slot on any Galaxy Nexus device.

the differences are simple:

Unlocked GSM: 16GB, Pentaband HSPA+

Verizon: 32GB, thicker due to larger battery and LTE.

[Acer Iconia A500] phoenixbennu:
http://adonit.net/product/jot/

http://www.amazon.com/Jot-Capacitive-Touch-Stylus-Red/dp/B005GSS8TG/ref=pd_cp_e_1

I know there are many reviews out here, but wanted to make my own review here. As my time is pressed this will not be the longest review but a few key points I may expound on later.

The Jot is a stylus along the same principles as the dagi styli. Using a small plastic clear disc with ingrained conductive material in order to relay the 'touch' to the screen.

I have used many styli, from bamboo, to dagi, to ayl, to boxwave.

However, jot is definitely the best by far. Here are some bullet points to keep in mind:

*Uses clear disc at tip to increase accuracy and view of user

*REPLACEABLE tips help significantly reduce costs, increase longevity, and allow a more forgiving stylus to accidental damage

*A very conductive casing, which can act as its own stylus (I have used the metal housing as its own stylus)

*Screw on cap, that screws on to keep from being accidentally removed, and screws on the end to increase length and to avoid being lost

*Nice colors (not a pro for some, but where I like my red)

*Lightweight and feels slim in the hand while still being comfortable

*VERY helpful customer service. (I, myself, damaged the tip by my own error and they sent me TWO replacements for FREE when the original one only had one tip)

*Very agile tip. Unlike dagi styli, the tip swings freely on the ball bearing (literally can hold it by the tip and the stylus will swing very loosely) meaning that it is easy to use quickly without focusing on how you are holding it.

*The Jot Pro has its own additional pros, but I prefer the Jot to the Jot Pro cause I dont need magnets to hold it or a rubber grip

Cons

*No rubber tip supplemental. May not be a real "con" but I would like to see a rubber tip because sometimes I just want to use one.

*Popping the tip back on the stylus can damage the tip if done incorrectly. (The tip is actually two separate clear discs held together, and you have to put the tip on a hard, or at least resistant, surface and then press the stylus into it to snap it on. If you dont have something like a table or other resistant surface to use then you might wind up pressing the stylus through the first part of the tip and separating the two plastic discs.

*Some screens can be a little resistant to the disc sliding around, like the a500. My Galaxy S2 works awesome with this, but the acer a500 is a little resistant.

Thats the review so far, I may amend it later with more information.
[Acer Iconia A500] h8isgr8:
Maybe a little RainX would help it glide better on the A500? Anyway thanks for the post, will be ordering one soon.
[Acer Iconia A500] enkryptik:
WOW! I really like the design on this one. I bought a dagi awhile back and the tip broke off eventually and I'm never rough with stuff. This one with the ball on end seems 1000 times better because then no plastic is flexing and weakening. I might actually buy this one even after deciding to not buy another stylus after last one broke.
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
I'm reviving the thread in the hopes that someone who owns one chimes in - if you have a video of you using it on the a500 or an opinion, please share.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Fasty12:
Will it be smooth like the ipad, when ics comes? Ive tried the overcome rom and there is still a bit a jerkiness/lagginess when using the screen capture function, exiting in and out, flipping through pages etc.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] slack04:
No. Get an ipad if smooth scrolling homescreens are the most important feature on a tablet for you.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jaewon223:
3.2 will give you that smoothness. i use adw launcher ex and it pretty much fixed any lag. also recommend using spareparts+ to speed up opening window.

doesnt hurt to oc either

if you're not going to contribute then you can just keep ur post to yourself slack04
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] SeanHacker:
Everything you're asking can only be answered with speculation and dreams dude. I'm on 3.2 and don't see any of the lag you speak of.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] markdj57:
Yes, ICS will bring hardware acceleration to the entire experience, should be a transformation.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] nandihno:
Answering the op question what lag? Sure if you have a slow device running top of the range os you will get lag

But since 3.2 I haven't seen any lag
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] abszer0:
I think lag can be caused by many issues. For one, widgets with heavy graphics and constant refreshes can use up a lot of resources. There are also poorly made apps running in the background that may slow things down. I would just keep the homescreen as simple as possible if performance is a concern.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Isilmalith:
If ICS runs as smooth as it does on the Galaxy Nexus, yes, it will.

We will see it as soon as the first "complete" ROMs pop up, everything else is complete speculation.

3.2 made the tab a lot better, but still not completely lagfree in my opionion. Its response time varies from perfect (browser) to mediocre (app switcher - at least until its open).
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] abszer0:
Are you running on stock rom? I am running Task650 & Phantoms "In Paris" V5 OC'd to 1.4Gz with ADW launcher and it is pretty darn smooth even on Honeycomb 3.1. It will only get better with the 3.2 update coming in the near future. Check it out if you haven't already done so!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] hoss_n2:
hardware acceleration in ICS improve performence allot , see alpha builds on the single core original galaxy tab 7 and HTC hd2 on youtube and you will see the big improvement in speed even with live wallpapers
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] derwinaero:
Though it is true that ICS will have hardware acceleration, android will always lag at some point, seeing as it is an OS capable of being installed on a wide range of devices, and it can not be fully optimized for 1 device to make it lag-free.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] hoss_n2:
this is not 100% true , the kernel function is to make the hardware make use of the options in the software ,so that is why each device has its own kernel , thus with good kernel each device can benifit from the hardware acceleration on its way , so existance of (hardware acceleration ) with supported kernel should eliminate lag
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Fasty12:
Im using the overcome rom, isnt that the best if i want the smoothest experience possible?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] KitF:
But many companies don't bother with a good kernel. They pretty much use "Does it boot? Get it out the door" as a mantra.

The reason iOS is so smooth is because Apple tests devices for months and months to make sure the user experience is great. They put user experience over anything else, even features. I still get terrible lag on 3.2 while using my GT8.9. But hopefully ICS will fix that. But I won't bet money that all the lag will be gone. There's just not much optimization there, and throwing more cores at the software isn't going to fix that.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Muckrak3r:
Same here, because of your ROM! OP, get on Task's ROM. And have a funeral for your tablet lag.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Alleycat68:
^^What he said...

Running GalaxyTask6.3 rom oc'd to 1.4ghz using adw ex launcher with boosted ics theme and it is SMOOTH as any apple device on the planet!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] animatechnica:
Nope task650 v6.3 is the way to go
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] attu90:
3.2 was a nice upgrade in speed but after using ICS on my galaxy nexus I really can't wait for it to come to the tab 10.1 in one form or another.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] GrkEngineer:
The Galaxy Nexus does feel much smoother. Not sure if it's the hardware acceleration or just tighter code, but I'm eager to get ICS on my tab.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Reviewers:
i'm getting lag when flipping page's & application's as well .
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] nrfitchett4:
After watching reviews videos of the nexus, I'm losing hope that android will ever have the silky smoothness of IOS or windows phone. There is still lag with top end hardware.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Hawk777th:
Do you guys think it will speed up the browser at all? That is my only complaint with my tab.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] nightmarebadger:
The problem with Tasks is tha it is Wi-fi only... so those of us that use 3G can't use Tasks ROM. Not that I'm complaining tho, Overcome works awesome for me =)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] muzzy996:
iOS can keep its silky smoothness as far as I'm concerned. With multiple Apple products at home (ipad 2 for the wife, iphone 4 for me and a couple of ipod touches) I still reach for my Galaxy Tab over any of them for one simple reason, customization. Some dont need or want it but I do.

Having said that yes I do agree that lag detracts from the experience but having been on 3.2 on my verizon tab for almost a week now I must say Im satisfied with performance. I had to root, v6 supercharge, kickasskernalize, zipalign and run pershoots kernal to do it but after doing all that the tab is great. If ICS improves things to the point that all the extra work isnt needed to get to this point I'd be thrilled.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
That's the key. Everyone's hung up on screen transitions and occasional lag but I didn't buy my Tab to watch the UI perform. I spend 90% of my time doing stuff and 10% navigating. For the 90% I use my Tab for streaming video with PlayOn (Hulu and Amazon) and Plex (2TB of MKV high-profile video), watch HBOGO in the browser, surf the web, read newspapers and magazines with Zinio, Press Reader and Next Issue, catch-up on the news with Pulse and News360, and do all of the above well on a 3MB 3G connection. Most of the time the 10% spent navigating is fine. There's times when the lag is noticable and like everyone else I wish the browser was more responsive. But at the end of the day I'm so pleased with 90% I overlook the 10%. It would be great if ICS makes the 10% better but, like muzzy996 said, all-in-all, I'm satisfied. And as much as we ***** at Samsung, if you look at the benchmarks against other Teg 2 tablets the G-Tab's the best performer.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] UKseagull:
Interesting read here about hardware acceleration myths.

http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...-dispels-android-hardware-acceleration-myths/
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] :
as they said before, if you only care about smoothness get an iPad...

and again, 3.2 is as smooth as iPad
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dluxx06:
running tasks 3.2 rom is all the smoothness i need.... but you know as soon as ICS comes out it should be alot smoother. And since the CM team is working on it, CM9 should be the best rom once it comes out.
