I got it working - I'm now on the google build w/baseband SC04D0MLA1

I did the following steps:

Make a Ti Backup

Wipe Dalvik Cache

Wipe Battery Cache

Wipe data

./fastboot-mac flash system system.img

./fastboot-mac flash userdata userdata.img

./fastboot-mac reboot

restore Ti Backup

I would be grateful if someone can point me to where I can find some DoCoMo roms (in case I need to restore for some reason).

....update...

I installed Baseband I9250XXKK6.

I ran several speedtests and average 1200+kbps down and 300+ up so overall good

GPS and network locks on fast.

...update...

I downloaded the docomo roms from depositfiles.com/files/efy04791e
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lancebuks:
Yes - well at least it does for me

---------- Post added at 11:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:26 PM ----------

One thing I notice is cell broadcast is missing - anyone know how to install it? I couldn't reinstall it using Ti Backup.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lancebuks:
I'm sure this has been asked a million times before (I tried searching but couldn't find anything), do you have to relock the device in order to get OTA updates?

...update...

I updated to 4.0.4 (as well as the baseband) using CWM

It seems that the new radio is faster than before (not sure if it's just network congestion) but my speed tests are over 2500kbps (i've seen it past 3000).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IamKK:
Any issues running stock ICS 4.0.4 with stock radio on SC 04D

There are quite a few reviews on internet about ICS 4.0.4 signal issues.

Since you upgraded SC 04D to ICS 4.0.4 with stock radio and ROM, can you share your experiences about signal issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lancebuks:
The stock radio seems pretty good so far. I'm getting over 2Mbps in my area and even seen as high as 3.5M (but also as low as 1.5M) so it varies. GPS seems to lock on. I can only speak for myself but it seems that the stock radio works well in Japan.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IamKK:
ICS 4.0.4 no network loss issues.

Hi Thanks for the information.

I have tried stock ICS 4.0.4 and it works without any network/signal loss issues.

Now the user interface transitions are pretty smooth and stand by time also improved a lot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] feeltherealpower:
Hi, I bit the bullet and followed the instructions here, thanks for the help. 4.04 runs a lot better than 4.02 and the battery is good, also using the camera from the lock screen doesn't crash my phone anymore, fantastic!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SKYLINESSUCK:
Same. Stock radios work just fine for me with the same kinda speeds mentioned down here in Okinawa.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wedz:
I wonder if anyone knows what are the bands that are tuned on the default baseband ? If the bands for Japanese carriers are not tuned, then the performance will definitely be worse.

Band stuff is not actually about data throughput (which however, is also of course affected), but how much power the antenna will require for transmission.

Basically, if the used band is not tuned, the antenna will have to boost the transmission more -> power consumption increases, and signal strength is lower.

Thus, if possible, we should prefer Docomo radio here in Japan.

Has someone yet tried flashing the old sc04d-sc04domkkd to 4.0.4 ROM ? There are no compatibility problems ? How about the new "la1" baseband ? Is the image somehwere available ?

I have already switched to AOKP ROMs, and have just been overwriting the radio, but now I haven't yet touched 4.0.4 stuff. Though I guess they don't change the memory mappings this late in the game anymore...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SKYLINESSUCK:
I just got my wife a SC-04d to match mine. I'm running vanilla 4.0.4 and she's on stock JDM DoCoMo 4.0.2. I just sat them side by side and did speed tests. They took turns swapping for fastest, but they were always within 100kbps download and upload. The ping speeds varied a decent amount, but they traded for #1.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ekimaureza:
what is the different between docomo & original one ?

hardware ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SKYLINESSUCK:
I don't understand what you are asking. As far as I know, the SC-04d is just the DoCoMo naming convention slapped on a normal GSM GNex with a different battery cover and a neutered version on ICS so they can track and make you pay extra when you wifi tether (or its just removed all together on earlier versions) and they load a bunch of other garbage bloatware on it for you. First thing I did with mine was wipe it and install vanilla ICS. No problems and never looked back.

Actually, it was kinda funny this weekend, we went to DoCoMo to get my wife a GNex and the guy was explaining all about how if you use the tethering it will cost you this much extra and bla bla bla. I asked him if he could look up whether or not I've ever tethered and he said no. I just smiled and said "okay, thanks" knowing that I tether several times a week. They were also pretty confused when they saw 4.0.4 on the phone and no DoCoMo market :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wedz:
As I wrote above, it's not about throughput, but power used to keep the connection..

Can you check what are the numbers for signal strength in about phone -> status?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SKYLINESSUCK:
Gotcha. I'll check when I get home and compare my wife's to mine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gavin_pan:
i have one but i havn't found any problem about 4.0.4 except bad wifi
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SKYLINESSUCK:
Well, either I'm missing something or there isn't the same kind of signal strength info on my wife's phone. The menu is different on the stock DoCoMo ROM and that info is missing :confused: Maybe it's in a different place than on my vanilla 4.0.4 ROM, but if it is I can't find it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wedz:
Oh too bad... Well, I'll run some tests and write feedback here once I update..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] uranis:
I received a docomo nexus when I purchased mine and so far I see that there is no difference. I I was going to return it for the correct version but it seems I wouldn't have to. I'm on stock Google rom and everything seems to be working perfectly. Should I keep it or swap it for the 9250?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] catfish:
Thanks for you advice I returned my GN back to the sock rom unrooted and it updated fine. :D:D

---------- Post added at 04:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:53 PM ----------

I have a question? are you running the stock Radio for 4.0.4 or did you flash docomo's? Reason I ask is I accidentally had to reinstall all of the software from Docomo 4.0.2 to ICS 4.0.4 and really dont see any difference in the download and upload speed but have noticed that my battery is draining slightly faster than normal.

:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SKYLINESSUCK:
I never flashed any radios other than what came stock in the vanilla 4.0.4 ROM. Battery life seems normal to me, but I was running the stock DoCoMo ROM for all of a day or two before I first flashed it to vanilla 4.0.2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] catfish:
Ok Now I am running build IMM76I, Baseband SC04DOMLA1 and Android 4.0.4. I was loosing my signal and the only way to recover was to reboot the device. Hopefully this will go better.

:D

Was runing for a day and the signal drop is gone but now I can not get SP mail unless I manuall retrieve it from the server.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] catfish:
I was running ICS 4.0.4 updated with the patch and had changed the radio to docomo SC04DOLA1 but was having issues recieving SP mode mail, there was no problem sending and manually recieving but could not recieve automatically.

Does anyone one have the same issue?

:(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lancebuks:
You need to download SPModePush.apk

Google it and you'll find links. If you can't find it PM me and I'll hook you up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] catfish:
@lancebukkake

Thank you will Google it and try it.

###Update

Thank you it works!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SKYLINESSUCK:
Is anybody else having an issue making SPmode mail work while connected to wifi? My wife likes to use it and it doesn't work over wifi. She even did some kind of setup (it's all nihongo) that was supposed to enable it and it didn't work. Also just received an update this morning to the spmode app that said it had fixes pertaining to working over wifi. Still nothing. Maybe the wife didn't set it up correctly?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] feeltherealpower:
My sp-mail doesn't check my mail anymore since I am 4.04(stock), I have to do it manually which is annoying. Thanks for the docomo radio image OP, I find it a lot better than the stock one.

Apart from that my phone runs like a dream.

Edit.... I got the apk listed above and it seems to fix the spmail push problem. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ewdi:
Yeah it seems that Market SP mode doesn't push with Stock Google Image
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lancebuks:
I already answered your question - you need SPModePush.apk in order to get SPMode mail pushed
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sackboy11:
Bump.

Good to see other SC-04D users here :D

Although I already flashed mine with stock 4.0.4

But this is a very helpful thread for other who has the NTT docomo Gnex.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lancebuks:
You may also want to download CellBroadcastReceiver.apk and AreaMailTest.apk if you want to receive Cell Broadcasts. You'll need to convert them to system apps. They're not in the Play Store so you'll need to use the power of the google; I originally found them on 2chan but forgot exactly where. Let me know if you need them and I'll upload them somewhere.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jabbermacy:
OK, I have an SC-04D (apparently); so I flashed a couple new radios (xxla2, etc) and cannot get WIFI to connect now at all :eek: Have you guys ever had this problem?

I'm on Apex 1.1.2 -- if I go back to a DOCOMO SC04DOMLA1 radio will it work? I'm kind of stuck on this issue but it's definitely radio related (same on AOKP, other kernel, etc)

Halp!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SKYLINESSUCK:
Give it a shot. I've never used that radio before, but I have used SC04DOMLA1 (actually that's what I'm on now) and wifi works just fine. It's so easy to flash radios, just try it and keep going until you find one that works well. That's what I did.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kocai:
Hey guys, first of all, sorry if this is the wrong thread.

I want to know when you guys first got your SC-04D, was the baseband SC04D0MKKD? The reason I ask this is because I ask a friend in Hongkong to buy me a Galaxy Nexus and he got the NTT Docomo version but the baseband is XXKK6. So I'm afraid that the phone is not brand new.

Any input is appreciated. Thank you in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gamester2k:
For the people using the phone on softbank, what apn are you guys using?

I can't connect to the smartphone apn that my desirehd was connecting to, probably because that's IMEI filtered. I am using the open.softbank apn for now but I'm afraid of getting raped with a huge data bill. I've read about using the plus.softbank apn but kind of weary about that one as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] m0_t3:
managed to flash this ROM on my I9250 device, not a GN from Docomo but wanted to try it out anyway:D

kept my bootloader on PRIMEKK15

and the radio am using is XXLA2

everything works fine so far, update downloaded but i forgot to set the stock recovery so couldn't install, maybe i'll do that later :p

really like the Japanese IME on this ROM
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lesilent:
I've flashed SC04DOMLA1.

It seems great !

But...have you noticed battery drain ? Is it me or battery goes down faster ?

Could anyone post either system dumps of or RIL files from:

SC04DOMKKD yakjusc ITL41F

RIL's are found in /system/vendor/lib and is called libsec-ril.so. It's imperative that it's those system versions.

Anyone is able to write kanji with this keyboard installed from market?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SKYLINESSUCK:
I'm pretty sure you have to specifically enable kanji input in the keyboard setting as it is disabled by default when you download it off the market. Not sure why they do that. I can check with my wife if that doesn't get it working for you.

Need help returning my SC-04D to Docomo stock

I purchased a used SC-04D from a Japanese auction site to use on Docomo and flashed the stock google image "yakju" IMM76I with Docomo's latest SC04DOMLE3 baseband radio. It worked great but I noticed that the screen had a burn-in image of the 5 quick use icons and google seach bar. Docomo says that my phone can be turned in for a warranty screen replacement but I can't get it back to stock.

I followed the instructions here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20248942&postcount=20

after the phone reboots it says there is a OTA but when I try to apply it, it starts but a few seconds later it freezes showing the android robot on its back with a red triangle with ! in the middle. I verified the md5's for the boot, radio, and system images (no md5's posted for bootloader ro recovery). I noticed in the bootloader screen it says baseband unknown but in the "about" menu in settings it shows SC04D0MKKD.

Can anyone help me return my phone to stock Docomo image so the OTA works and so I can turn it in to Docomo for a warranty repair?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lancebuks:
I'm curious about that as well. I too have the docomo Galaxy Nexus and have tried restoring to stock yakjusc 4.0.1 and it gets stuck at the OTA. I tried locking the bootloader back as stock but it always gets stuck with the red triangle. I'm running AOKP but would like an option to restore to stock in case I need to return it to Docomo for repairs. If anyone has successfully restored to the yakjusc 4.0.1 image and successfully upgraded from there please us know how you did so.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
You guys are seeing the Android on its back with the red "!" because either the recovery is not matching your ROM, or something else is not stock. What both of you need to do is follow the directions in method #2 here to apply the update. This will update your build, and flash the proper stock recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lancebuks:
actually as far as I know everything is stock including stock and radio. I even locked the bootloader. After I get the red triangle, I boot into recovery which reads:

E:failed to verify whole-file signature

E:signature verification failed

Installation failed

I searched the interwebs but couldn't an answer. Not a big deal since I use AOKP anyways but it would be nice to update to yakjusc 4.0.4 in case I need to bring it back to the store.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
As I mentioned in my previous post, not only does the recovery need to be stock, but it needs to match the build you are using. A stock recovery from a yakjusc itl41f rom is not the same as a stock recovery from a yakjusc icl53f ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Blitzed_Penguin:
Thanks for your reply,

I tried using method 2 using "94ec403ff247.update_yakjusc_ITL41D_to_ICL53F.zip" for yakjusc since my phone is a SC-04D and was on ITL41D. Everything went smooth in CWM but when the phone rebooted it stayed on the "Google" splash screen for 5min. I pulled the battery and restarted in bootloader and locked it and restarted it again but it won't get past the "Google" splash screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Locking has nothing to do with it.

Not sure why it won't go past the boot screen. Those methods work - I've tried all of them myself. Try rebooting again. If it still doesn't work, you will need to reflash the full yakjusc ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Blitzed_Penguin:
Well I fastboot flashed the images I got from:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20248942&postcount=20

and tried method 2 again but got the same results. I re-downloaded the update thinking it was a bad download but the result was the same. Does anyone know where I can a full yakjusc ROM either ITL41D-SC04D0MKKD or higher other then the one from "http: //depositfiles.com/files/efy04791e" ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] feeltherealpower:
Anyone know if there is a new radio with the docomo 4.04 update? If so anyone have it for flashing? I am running the google stock version of 4.04.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Blitzed_Penguin:
I think the lastest radio is SC04DOMLE3. You can get it here.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=27099022&postcount=939
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] feeltherealpower:
Thank you very much, I will check it out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Blitzed_Penguin:
Rabug helped me return my phone to stock. Here are his instructions. They worked for me. I think my original problem was the 1st docomo 4.0.1 was not 100% stock. The one in the link link below worked.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lancebuks:
Ya I think the first docomo 4.0.1 rom wasn't 100% as well. I'll test this out and will post my results.

Big shout out to Rabug for the info!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rabug:
I'm pretty sure that system.img was 100% stock, but some binaries won't match with as required in update.zip.

So, I just took that system.img, loop mounted as EXT4 and extract the files to make CWM flashable zip retouching the binaries to match with.;)

I think it is .img format related and that's why everyone else provide a CWM format instead.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lancebuks:
Whatever you did it worked!!!

Now back to AOKP :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yefymenko:
OK so this worked well.

Now, I'm starting to be a little greedy. You guys think we will be able to get the jellybean OTA update? Has anyone gotten it already?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Flash it yourself. If you've already flash all of the stock 4.0.4 factory images, you can easily update. See here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yefymenko:
Thanks. Actually after I wrote that comment, I did exactly that.

It's my impression that the default radio works very well compared to the 4.0.4 build. My GPS locks almost instantly in the same area that it used to take over a minute. And I'm getting better signal as well.

Now my question is, after all is set and done. Should I lock the bootloader again? Does it make a difference?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
No, it makes no difference. Leave it unlocked, as it may save you hassles later on. If you lock it, and something happens that requires you to unlock it, you it will wipe everything...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Thanh_GSM:
Hi, I have SC-04D only has downloading mode, not enter fastboot mode so how to flash it now?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Why can you not get into fastboot mode?

Anyway, your only option now is odin. See this thread.

This morning my phone was running fine but since I had a problem with connecting it to the computer I decided to flash the Unroot rom. I had CM7 and synergy kernel installed and i forgot to wipe the phone before flashing. Now, when i try to start the phone, the boot screen shows "Synergy Kernel" and then goes black for a good 1-2 minutes and then proceeds to a popup that says "Sorry! Process system is not responding" and shows an option of "Force Close" or "Wait." The screen freezes and I cannot choose either.

I also tried going into recovery but it only shows

1. Reboot

2. Install from SD

3. Wipe/Factory Reset

4. Wipe cache.

I tried rebooting, Factory reset and cache wipe only to get the same outcome. I recently acquired this phone and I googled all possible methods to fix it with no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

i live in toronto, negri is cheaper, but i wanted to buy it from bell / virgin because of warranty reasons, but i will have to pay more

649.99 plus tax would come up to $734.48 and negri has it for like 680 i think?

what would you guys do?

Negri has coupon code VZSucks for $45 off GSM galaxy nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] subxero123:
do you know how much shipping to canada would be?

and i don't know about their warranty, i forgot but it said somewhere its only like a 25 day warranty :/

and if something does happen its gonna be a mission to ship back to them and they send me another

ahhh im so confused, buy it cheaper or more expensive for warranty
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] robstunner:
Not sure. They have live chat on their website u might wanna ask them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mohitrocks:
Bell = safer, more warranty, etc
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ztm.000:
Negri handles warranty for a year. Its awesome.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
Negri has free shipping...... unless you want to upgrade to a quicker service
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phazerorg:
It looks like Negri's price is $730.50.

And even if it was $680:

$680 USD = $692.68 CAD. Add 5% GST and you get $727.31. I'm not sure if there would also be duty on top of that. There might also be brokerage fees, depending on the shipping method used. So at best you save about $7 and then have to deal with shipping it back to Negri if you have a warranty issue, instead of just taking it down to you local Bell/Virgin store.

Maybe I'm missing something, but the choice seems obvious to me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CasseTrop:
Bell wouldn't sell me the Nexus with activating a line for at least a month.

So 35$ for activation fee and 30$ for the cheapest "plan".

Same for Virgin but no activation fee.

I had to buy it from a random dude on Kijiji who had some BNIB Nexus for 730$ locally in Montreal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
The name Negri kind of sounds racist so i wouldn't buy from them...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phazerorg:
True enough. I guess I was assuming he'd stick with Bell. Someone did say they got a Best Buy store to sell one without any activation though... probably a mistake on Best Buy's part, but lucky for him :)
