Hey guys!!

I've been asked quite a few times, how to install the newest ROM for the GNex, the easiest way...

I've just tried it a few minutes ago, so I can tell you, waht it did and how to do it :)

Step 1:

Well, first things first;

you need the drivers. You'll want to download them from: here

Now, you need to download following file: Samsung official ROM

Step 2:

After you have downloaded both files and have installed the drivers, extract the firmware to a location, you can remember :)

eg.: %userprofile%\Downloads

Put the phone in Odin mode. Via USB Jig or VOL. DWN. + PWR. BTTN.

Once in Odin mode, plug phone in to computer via USB cable, wait for the drivers to install and then open the program. It may take up to 30 secs. to recognize the phone. Then click start. The flash process will take up to 3 Mins and will relock the bootloader, should you have unlocked it.

Final:

now just set your phone up and wait about five minutes, for the update notification to pop up... Now, everything is done, your phone is completely back to stock and nobody can tell you've messed around with it ^^

Though my personal favourite way of doing this, is with my root helper, but never mind about that (Click here to take a peek ;) )

I hope you had fun doing this, I also hope you check out the 3rd link ;) and I very much hope, I could teach you a bit more about the GNex ^_^
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephyrprime:
I am trying to follow your instructions but they do not work. After starting the drivers install, windows says it's installing drivers and then nothing happens.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 063_XOBX:
Don't use ODIN. Follow any of the stickies at the top of the section on setting up adb and fastboot then flashing a factory build from there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] namtombout:
What xobx said
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I've used both Odin and fastboot-method and have never had any single issue with them. Both works fine. If you have time to create tar packages everytime new factory image shows I don't see a reason why I should discourage you from using this tool.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 063_XOBX:
Because its a Samsung rather than Android tool and this is a Nexus device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
And an unsupported tool, at that.

Sent from my Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Of course but when you reboot your Nexus into Odin/download mode it's technically no longer google's unique developer phone but it becomes a regular Samsung handset (with no download counter though). GNex is equipped with Odin mode not without a reason. This means manufacturer left the door open to use Odin flash as an alternative method. Of course it's not officially recommended but as long as it works fine as a second method I've got nothing against it. The more important here is whether odin flash is a safe and effective method. According to my experience.... it is. I mean I wouldn't recommend it as a primary method, but It's always good to know you have options just in case...

I use fastboot when I am on MacOS (definitely more often) and Odin whenever I flash firmware using Windows.

---------- Post added at 06:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:09 PM ----------

Excuse me, not trying to be sarcastic but unsupported by who?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
.... seriously?

Not supported by anyone actually: Google, Samsung, not even the community.

Sent from my Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Oh that's what you meant. Sure. Well It's kinda obvious that u use it at your own risk just like rooting or flashing anything to your device. I think that everybody is aware of that including OP. No intention to sound ignorant or impolite but this lack of official support is irrelevant for me. If I brick my handset using Odin, cwm, RUU or fastboot it's only me to blame.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 063_XOBX:
Doesn't mean you should recommend that somebody use what is, frankly, an inferior tool. Even a toolkit (I just threw up in my mouth a little) is better than ODIN.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
Thing is, if I flash through Odin, I can't say I did, either to Google or Samsung. They will reply that the official tool to reset device to factory state is fastboot. There's not even a mention to download mode. Its a leaked tool, the only way I see Odin as an option is if fastboot isn't available. And even then, I would rather use either Heimdall (which i don't believe supports our device) or OMAPflash.

Sent from my Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
No no, as I posted earlier, the primary tool is of course fastboot. It's not like I recommend using Odin. I'm just not a big opponent cos I've never had any bad experiences using it and thus I don't understand this (forgive me expression) fear of using it. If anybody asks me I recommend fastboot at the first place. (It takes even more time to create tar.md5 package in cygwin than to flash every single .img via terminal to be honest) But sometimes people can only enter odin mode using usb jig. Then odin flash seems to be the one and only option.

---------- Post added at 10:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:05 PM ----------

I am not really proud of myself but why would you care about google or samsung, like honestly :)? None of them will ever recognize the difference if you send your brick to their service center anyway :) ...and Heimdall is even less stable than Odin.

BTW. Did any of you notice that Odin flash unlocks your bootloader?

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] Xcutionr:
Nice. You went from making custom stock roms to porting HTC Sense. I wont be much of a help with anything big, cuz I'm a noob, but if you need help with small things. Make sure to pm me.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] Dekkerlion:
Although I love Sense I must say you might have a "slight" chance of losing your time porting 2.1.

The 4.0 sense seems to be more compatible with devices other than just htc's one.It integrates better and it's a tad more open than the rest.

Yes,for GB this is the only option since Sense 3 is too much protected but if I were you I'd also think about the 4.0 which while much newer it should be more compatible than any other and older version...

Just my opinion!

And good job for now!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] shader868:
yea it might be more compatible and easier to port, but i think sense 4.0 would be **** on our ace, because sense 3.0 was for better smartphones like htc desire hd and i think that sense 4.0 will run on our ace but it will be very slow and just ****ty , but thats just my opinion;p
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] SpaceCaker:
Htc self said that sense 4 was ****ty :p

and its easy to mod trebucet to sense launcher

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] jimbo.levy:
No they didn't, they said everything PRIOR to Sense 4.0 was ****ty.

coolcat. if you replace the all the wifi modules and then you alter the hardware_legacy with hex editor by changing the wifi loading path to that from your stock rom, you should have wifi working

even for camera we have to replace three files from system/bin and some 5libs from system/lib
