No not yet. I thought it could be done without root, which I haven't done yet. When I have a sure fire way of going back to stock, as in stock Samsung rom and recovery not Google factory image stock, I'll root and make the dump.

---------- Post added at 01:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:05 PM ----------

Yes you can. It can be adb pulled if you have the drivers installed or you can use a file explorer and document reader app to view it without root.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Is your bootloader unlocked? If so, no need to root your device. Just download a copy of CWM recovery, place it in the same directory as your fastboot executable, put your device in fastboot mode, and type fastboot boot <name-of-recovery-here.img>. (All this does is start up your device with the image that resides on your computer. It does not flash/touch anything on your device.)

Now open an ADB shell, and you should have root (but only until you reboot). Now you can dump the radio.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Guto ViP:
Tnx, but i'm from Brazil and my Nexus isnt with me, it is in Europe yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scratch42069:
Thank you very much :) I'll get on to dumping that radio ASAP.

---------- Post added at 08:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:44 PM ----------

Here is the radio from my Galaxy Nexus. This is baseband I9250UGKL1 from build ITL41F on my yakjuux Galaxy Nexus from Bell Mobility. Big thanks to everyone for helping me get this out without rooting :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Awesome. Thanks!

Would you mind posting the md5 hash please? Thanks again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aimetti:
ive had a ton of luck with the UGKK7 radio on ATT, which i believe was BELL as well. Im curious to how this one turns out. Let me know if you flash it. Also , isnt 16 mb a tad big? The other radios I have seem to be 12 mb or so
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scratch42069:
No problem. I totally forgot to get the md5 hash. Doing that now and verifying that it matches with the dumped radio. I was concerned about the 16mb size of the radio as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Yeah, it should be around 12 mb. This happens when you dump a radio using dd. It's not in a flashable format yet - it is padded with a bunch of extra zeros. Someone will need to remove them before we can use fastboot to flash it. I won't have time to look at it until Friday, but if someone else wants to do it, it would be much appreciated!: )
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] demzzy:
the new ugkl1 radio has been amazing for me for the past 2 days now... i must say... ive gotten lovely battery life.. and speedy wifi connections and mobile network as well on rogers
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scratch42069:
Here's an md5 hash of the radio dump.

Here's radio-maguro-i9250ugkl1.img with all the extra trimmed off. It should flash with fastboot fine.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] j0hnny007:
i click the firmware tab first and still get a 0 byte file. anyone else get this to download yet?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] allen099:
Is it ok to flash this on the GN on T-Mobile? I've had XXKK1 and XXKK6 running without problems so far, though "6" kills the battery rather quickly. Thanks guys!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jetrii:
Is there a benefit to using the fastboot method over Samsung's firmware tool to convert a yakjuxw device to yakju for people that don't want to unlock their bootloader or root the device?

Also, could someone that successfully used Samsung method please post the MD5 of the firmware zip they downloaded from http://samsung.de/de/support/detail.aspx?aguid=3d722dbc-9813-4d08-b5b7-5772e168e9e4? Had to download it to 10 times before the download finished on chrome and want to be sure I have the right file. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
You can flash the image luxferro posted, (not the one you quoted) on T-Mobile, no prob.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scratch42069:
Apparently the one I provided is padded so won't work without modifying it. Luxferro's is good and ready to go however so flash the one provided by him.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aimetti:
ill test on ATT and report back.

thx all
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Luxferro:
Basically it is good to have fastboot working and learn how to use it. It's higher level then odin is, so if somehow you mess up fastboot, or your phone, you can always fall back to odin as it's the lowest level we have.

At least that is what I think. Any of the experts can correct me if I'm wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jetrii:
I'm just concerned about my warranty. I just upgraded from my old Nexus One (still love it) and as far as I know, there wasn't a way to lock the bootloader after unlocking it. Things seem to be different on the Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aimetti:
ya fast oem lock works fine , no warning message tho so make sure you really want to do it lol.

btw for the last hour or so ive had the best reception ever in my house with the UGKL1.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] waylo:
How's the reception and battery life been panning out on tmobile?

I'm still on the stock one, but dying for a reason to start experimenting.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aldo37:
Reception and battery has been fine on TMO.

Also, I ordered from Expansys last Thursday the 8th and just got it today. This is what the packaging looks like:

It's the yakju version if it makes a difference.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Luxferro:
I just flashed radio-maguro-i9250ugkl1; my first radio change for my gnex. So far in my apartment, i am getting better cell reception then I was before (I use wifi at home and work so not sure about data). The true test will be tomorrow at work (where I normally got borderline reception), when I can put it through a whole days using it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dnlsmy:
That should be a yakju build, meaning it will do AOSP and be prepped for the UK.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] waylo:
Thanks, keep us informed!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TorontoR:
Hi there, my bootloader is unlocked and I'm rooted also. I have the above radio-maguro-i9250ugkl1.zip file in the root of my sd on the phone. However when I try to apply it via CWM it starts installing but indicates installation aborted. When I check the baseband afterwards, it has not changed. Please help with this!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flakz0r:
You cant flash the radio through recovery, has to be with fastboot. Also, that zip file isnt CWM ready. Even if you could flash it through CWM, that file wouldnt work. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TorontoR:
Thanks for the super quick reply. Just updated via fastboot as I figured I needed to unzip and get the img to do so via that way.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
You CAN flash radios in recovery. It does not have to be via fastboot. It's just that no one made that particular zip file flashable.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flakz0r:
Sorry, my mistake. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jetrii:
Quick question: Since there is a method to re-lock the bootloader, does that mean you can always return to stock, lock the bootloader, and still keep your warranty?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Almost. If you bought your device with a yakju build on it, you are ok (as Google has provided yakju images for the bootloader, radio, boot, recovery, system and userdata partitions). If you bought it with a different build, then you need to ensure that you have an image of each of those partitions before you are able to go back to full stock. You can easily get an image of the boot, system and userdata partitions via a nandroid backup with CWM. The recovery is the same as the yakju one. The radio you can dump with root. The only thing is the bootloader. I'm not too sure how to dump that. So if you don't flash a bootloader that is different than what you currently have, you can easily revert to stock.

On a separate note, I'd be curious if anyone knows how to dump the bootloader. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jetrii:
Hmmm, now I'm a little paranoid. I instantly unlocked and rooted my N1 but that was a while back... I guess I've grown more cautious with time. I may just want until there's a reason to change to yakju. Thanks for the info.

EDIT: Actually, if someone could post a guide on dumping the bootloader then I may give it a shot...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Don't think there is a reason to be paranoid. When the Nexus One came out, there were lots of individuals paranoid about unlocking their bootloaders because of the warranty issue. However, in almost every single case reported on these forums, HTC honored the warranty even though the bootloader was unlocked.

And besides, even if you do want to switch over to the yakju build, there is nothing saying that you need to flash the bootloader that came with the image provided by Google. You can just flash the system, boot, and userdata images, and you will be on yakju, and you will be able to revert to your present build easily (assuming you made a nandroid backup first of course).

---------- Post added at 11:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:47 AM ----------

As I mentioned in my previous post, you do not have to flash the bootloader to be on yakju. Only need to flash the system, boot and userdata images.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jetrii:
This is in case I device to flash the bootloader in the future. I'd like to be able to revert back to 100% stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] waylo:
Agreed. One thing people simply need to keep in mind is that flashing to a different build is nothing different from flashing a new custom ROM. Which I expect a good majority of us to be doing soon enough!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Yup, I understand.

Not sure what build you are running, but I can tell you that the bootloader that came with the yakju image from Google is older than the bootloader shipped with my yakjuux device:

My bootloader: PRIMEKK14 (Shipping)

Bootloader from the official yakju image: PRIMEKJ10
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neok44:
i won't be getting my device for another week, but this makes me a little nevous.

i'm probably going to flash cyanogen 9 final once it's released, so knowing that, assuming my Gnex has this samsung firmware, is there any reason to go through everything and instal the google one? or should i just leave it as is.

also, is there a easy guide on how to switch from samsung to google? i've had my N1 for almost 2 years now so it's been a long time since i've done anything with bootloaders or anything but this whole situation is really confusing and worrying to me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jetrii:
Phone: yakjuxw

My bootloader: PRIMEKJ10

Baseband: 19250XXkk1

Build: 19250XWKK5_ITL41D

You'll have to excuse my ignorance on these matters, I've been away from the Android scene for a very long time :D Ideally, I'd like to jump to yakju with a different radio (XXKK6 perhaps). Just want to be sure I can revert in case something happens. Need to do more reading before I proceed
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yeahrite:
Just flashed radio-maguro-i9250ugkl1 to my Bell GN and reception is much better. Before I was on 3G now it is always on H in my office.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jetrii:
From what I understand, it only switches from 3G to H when it is actually transferring data. Having it always stay on H drains the battery more than having it quickly swap.

For those of you interested here is the VZW build.prop
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
As long as you back up your system, boot and userdata partitions, yes, you can restore everything -- your bootloader is the same as the one included in the yakju image, and the radio you have is already dumped.

---------- Post added at 01:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:18 PM ----------

Stay as is. No real significant reason to change for most.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neok44:
alright then. thanks. Though just in case i do decide to, is there a guide for doing this yet?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Guide for what?

To flash a new ROM:

1) Do a nandroid backup and get it on your computer;

2) Download whatever image you want and extract ALL the images within ALL the zip files, and place the system, boot and userdata images into the same folder as your fastboot executable;

3) Boot your device into the bootloader;

4) Type fastboot devices to make sure your computer sees your device;

5) Type fastboot flash boot <name-of-boot-image.img>

6) Type fastboot flash system <name-of-system-image.img>

7) Type fastboot flash userdata <name-of-system-userdata.img>

8) Type fastboot reboot-bootloader

9) Boot into CWM

10) Erase cache and dalvik cache;

11) Reboot.

Done.

Note: this will delete ALL of your data/settings/files/etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neok44:
so switching from the samsung to google version is as simple as a rom flash?

honestly didn't think it would be that simple.

sorry for the dumb questions, as i said, been a long time since i've done anything like this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
If you do it that way, you will not be able to revert to the bootloader that shipped with your device...

---------- Post added at 02:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:35 PM ----------

:) That's the whole point: not running yakju is not a big deal, but folks are making it out as a big deal. There is no real difference (unless you want to try using Google Wallet, which is not supported on any Galaxy Nexus, but is able to function on yakju).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neok44:
good to know about that first way, won't be doing that.

Google Wallet is something that i do want to try and run, so now knowing that i'll definitely be switching over to yakju as soon as i get the device.

guess now i just have to find a stock image of yakju.

thanks again for all your help.

*edit* one more question. once i do this and i go to a stock yakju, i'll get the updates from google right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] waylo:
Google released stock factory images of yakju. Including the one with the volume fix. Search it, easy to find.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dnlsmy:
Just flashed the Yakju ICL53F from Google manually. Updated the radio, bootloader, and the works.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TorontoR:
Nice, a fellow Pakistani North American...

BTW, where did you get ICL53F? Are you on the GSM or the LTE phone?

I want to get OTA updates but I guess I can no longer do that since I have CWM on the phone. I only wanted to switch from the Samsung rom to the Google rom, but gave my self a different headache in the process.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
You can revert back to stock recovery. Find the stock recovery and flash it via fastboot.

The guy you're asking about GSM or LTE.. its GSM because its yakju. GSM is another name.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jetrii:
Followed these steps and I am officially on Yakju. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dnlsmy:
I'm on GSM and got it from Google's site (http://t.co/d7wIxxNk). You have to flash it manually if you want it the quickest, otherwise you will have to wait. Yakju should get the update soon but I don't know when the Samsung ROMs will get it. If you know how to use command prompt, ADB, and Fastboot, just look in the Dev section for how to change from Samsung to Google.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TorontoR:
Thanks, I did flash over from Samsung to Google last night, via cmd/adb/ fastboot. Right now I am unlocked and rooted. This was all in an effort to avoid the lag between ports of the official Google ROMs and to get them right away via OTA. Also, with OTA, I believe it won't be wiping out the existing data. Is there a way to avoid this if I were to manually flash the updates and avoid having to use Titanium backup?

---------- Post added at 07:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:58 PM ----------

Any idea where I could possibly get the stock recovery, like a fool, I didn't take a copy of the original
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Luxferro:
if you download the official google factory images, inside the tar is a flash-all.sh which is a script that says the following:

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-maguro-primekk15.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
sleep 5
fastboot flash radio radio-maguro-i9250xxkk6.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
sleep 5
fastboot -w update image-yakju-icl53f.zip

Put all the .img files and the update image-yakju-icl53f.zip where you want to use fastboot from and then execute each line in the above script separately. when you get to the last part leave out the -w (this wipes the phone), so your basically just updating without wiping your apps, or sdcard folder.

fastboot update image-yakju-icl53f.zip

I asked Jean-Baptiste Queru (who is in charge of AOSP), and he confirmed this would update it w/o wiping. I just did it and it worked fine :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
Thanks for the info Luxferro. I was just about to do this but I wasn't sure if the data wipe was forced.

On second thought, I think I'm going to wait for the FOTA. I forgot what those are like. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
You get the updates from Google's servers either way. Only thing is, the yakju build should get them slightly before. Judging by the last update, the other builds got them around a week after the yakju builds got it.

---------- Post added at 10:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:23 PM ----------

Keep in mind that you can avoid the wipe ONLY if you are updating a yakju build. If you are going to install this yakju build over a different build, you will need to wipe.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] divinewisdom:
hmmm, I got astro file manager, went to system, click on build, got the "prop not found". any idea whats going on?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Luxferro:
you gotta be doing something wrong. try a different file manager. your phone wouldn't boot without the file.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] divinewisdom:
got it, using another file manager, yakjuzs

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] YuryAC:
zs? yeah thats a first.

Okay, so LuxFerro, just to confirm...

Based on your findings if i download the image from google, unpack each individual image and run that through fastboot, and on the last line do everything BUT the -w and I should be able to flash from yakjuxw to yakju without wiping? I just want to make sure I'm understanding correctly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Luxferro:
That I am unsure of really. I was already on a yakju build when I updated mine today.

If you're feel adventurous make a nandroid w/cwr and give it a try.

Yes. Only different firmware. There are only two hardware versions of the GN so far: the GSM/penta-band HSPA version and Verizon CDMA/LTE version.

If you plan on using the update, then either flash the KK6 radio first (it's newer anyway) or change the script in the update file to remove the assert and flash via CWM.
