[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bozint:
Please do :D

I'd like your opinion on whether locking the bootloader affects the phone in anyway, apart from losing everything at the next unlocking (unless segv11's app is used), and does unlocking the bootloader remove the carrier/network lock (say, it receives SIM card only from parent carrier/network)?

Additionally, I went through the forums, and apart from your thread where the OTA's are listed, I couldn't find a thread where original images are listed for various versions. Specifically, I need an yakjuxw image. It doesn't have to be 4.0.x, just a full image. Would this work for any maguro phone or there could be some issues?

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Nope. And it's not an opinion. It's a fact. Unlocking the bootloader allows you to flash/boot unsigned images from the bootloader. That is all.

No.

There are at least two threads in the Development section that have images for yakjuxw. I didn't download the one you linked to, but if it is what the title says, then it will work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jamesc760:
Is there a way to push the root (su binary) file to the /system/bin directory without going through the fastboot? The reason why is the usb is fried on the gnex. Thanks in prior.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
If you do not already have CWM (or TWRP) flashed to your phone, then unfortunately, you are out of luck.

Problem flashing stock takju from yakjuux

Hi, I finally decided to take the jump and flash my GNex from yakjuux to takju. I followed all the steps one by one and flashed the takju build from the suggested link ( factory images for galaxy nexus ) as suggested in the steps. I chose the version: Android 4.2.1 (JOP40D) from takju for galaxy nexus maguro ....

The problem is that as others before, I can't get past the Google X logo. As described in the steps, I rebooted in the bootloader, selected recovery and I then wiped cache. I restarted afterwards... same problem. So I decided to take final indication and go back to recovery and do a factory reset, the problem is I still can't get past the X logo, I would need help to fix that please.

Thanks in advance,

Os1r1s110

Re: [HOW-TO] [GSM & CDMA] Return to stock for ALL Galaxy Nexus phones (latest JOP40D)

Redo the procedure again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] os1r1s110:
All right, I saw that I did one thing different, I don't have the same clockworkmod for the backup part, could that affect the result?

Also, I am running Windows 8, but I don't think that causes a problem because I was able to install the drivers and issue commands as expected, is that logical or I could still have driver problems?

I also had little trouble extracting the files from 7-zip Under Windows 8 but as it was expected, I had the 6 image files and I had no trouble processing with all the flashing steps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Re: [HOW-TO] [GSM & CDMA] Return to stock for ALL Galaxy Nexus phones (latest JOP40D)

Probably not.

Probably not.

I suggest re-flashing the images again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] os1r1s110:
Success

After 2 other re-flashing processes, I finally succeeded, but I don't know exactly why as I did nothing different from the first trial I made.

However I installed Yakju instead of Takju. One thing I noticed is that by battery seems to last less longer than with version 4.1 and my signal is not as strong as it was, should I flash another radio or do something else?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jimlad:
deleted silly question ;)

Thanks for this guide, it's all panned out rarther well thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Andrew025:

Thanx :)

Thank you efrant for such an elaborate and undersatnding method...

I updated from 4.1.1 to 4.2.1

It works fine but now facing some problems:

1) Random reboot at leat twice a day and even the proximity sensor is not working properly, sometimes i am not able to cut the call dew to that.

2) i can see the Google wallet in the system > app but it is not installed and nor can i find it in app store, (i am in UK)

Can you please give suggestions efrant ...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
You need to configure Ubuntu to allow access if you haven't already done so. Take a look here: http://source.android.com/source/initializing.html

You need the line for fastboot protocol on maguro/toro
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rompolompo:
Thanks for the prompt reply. I have no issue connecting to the phone through MTP. The issue for me is when the phone is in recovery mode, the OS does not "see" the device.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
1) I wasn't talking about mtp, I was talking about fastboot. Did you even look at the link I provided you?

2) There is a difference between recovery mode and fastboot mode. For recovery, adb protocal must be configured; for fastboot, fastboot protocol must be configured.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rompolompo:
I did exactly as the link you posted suggests. I may be missing the actual boot process. Once the phone boots up (Volume keys + Power), I get a menu with options. What should I choose?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
You don't choose any options. You leave it on that screen.

bootloader and radio

Sir, i had downloaded the IMM76I, but i not really understand about step D 5 and 7.

Where to find the bootloader-maguro-primela03.img and radio-maguro-i9250xxla02.img. Is these two files inside the IMM76I. I had tried to extracted the file using 7zip. Inside the folder just have only one file. Need ur help.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
All of the images are contained in the .tgz factory image. If you don't see them, keep extracting the archives until you do see them all. If that doesn't work, you prob have a bad download. And make sure you open the file using 7zip.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] desny:
Img file

My 7zip no problem, just need to extract two time then will see all the file. thanks.

one more question:

6) Make sure you have extracted ALL the files (including any files in any archives inside the .tgz file). You should have six (6) files (or seven for toro devices) ending with .img in the directory you created in step 1. The other files you extracted from the .tgz are not necessary;

I just copy all the 6 .img file into step 1 directory and ignored others, am i right?

Thanks again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
yes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skodri:

After waiting months for an OTA update for my 4.0.1 YAKJUUX, I decided to read up on manually installing it.

Instructions were fairly easy to follow. Thanks OP!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigdave78:
Really sorry to go tread old ground, but I'm reading and the information and its just not sticking. I just dont understand the terminology.

I bought a Nexus because i was under the impression i could install the latest official google releases of ICS easily and without voiding warranty? Now i discover that isnt the case. I understand that with some degree of effort you can restore factory settings, but didnt think this sort of thing would be necessary.

I didn't really want to Root i just wanted to flash the most up to date official software? I still have to unlock the bootloader with this guide to do this?

I have just unboxed a vodafone Galaxy Nexus in Australia and it is still at 4.0.1 and i have no idea where to start. What is the difference between nakju and takju?

I'm also mac based - no PC to connect to.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] desny:
thanks efrant. i had successfully flash to yakju from yakjuxw. thanks so much.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
What's not sticking? What specifically do you not understand?

Wherever did you get that idea? A Nexus device (assuming it is still supported) will always be running the latest version of Android, i.e., ICS, but not necessarily the latest version of ICS. You buy a GNex to run ICS, and to know that you will get upgraded to JellyBean. That is all you buy it for it you do not want to unlock your bootloader.

A Gnex has an unlockable/re-lockable bootloader. Unlock, mess around, return to stock when you are finished, re-lock the bootloader. No one will be able to tell the difference, so warranty is not an issue.

Yes, you need to unlock your bootloader. Root is something different and separate.

If you have no idea where to start, then you probably have not done enough reading to be messing around with your device. You should get updated to 4.0.2 soon, but not 4.0.4 because you are not running yakju or takju.

I would follow this guide to unlock your bootloader (and leave it unlocked), flash yakju and be done with it. But that's my opinion. You should read up a bit and form your own opinion.

There is no real difference between yakju and takju, aside from takju coming with Wallet and Offers pre-installed. But it won't matter to you, as you are not in the U.S.

Modifications for MacOS are posted here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gaetanolip:
Hi guys,

i am buying a new nexus, so if it is a non-yakju build (yakjuxs, yakjuux, yakjusc, yakjuzs, yakjudv, yakjukr and yakjujp), and i want to root-unlock-flash a custom rom , do i need first to convert it in yakju build ?

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Unlocking and rooting, as well as flashing different ROMs, have nothing to do with what build is currently running on the device.

EDIT: So, to answer you question, no.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
1) It's probably related to some app that you have installed which is not fully compatible with 4.2.

2) Google Wallet will not appear in your list of apps if you are not in the U.S., because it is disabled. You can use an app like PackageEnabler to enable it if you really want it to show up in your app drawer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stompsfrogs:
So, is there any way to do this without fastboot... my usb port is broken. wireless adb doesn't work in fastboot :(

The port sometimes connects to take a charge but adb can't see it. I've used adb before so I think I have it set up fine, I updated all the platform tools just to be sure it would work. It doesn't. No device found. It found it on wireless adb :/

segv11's BootUnlocker app can relock your bootloader if you have root. And then you can use Chainfire's MobileOdin to flash the stock images.

Re: [HOW-TO] [GSM & CDMA] Return to stock for ALL Galaxy Nexus phones (latest JOP40D)

Re: [HOW-TO] [GSM & CDMA] Return to stock for ALL Galaxy Nexus phones (latest JOP40D)

as i have mentioned that i have not rooted my mobile, so will i be not getting the updates ?

and do i have to rood to get?

also if i root my handset will the warranty be void? and will i be able to un-root it later if i want?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
The post says some steps are optional (i.e., backing up data), and some steps are "NOT optional for n00bs". In other words, if you don't know why they are optional, then you should consider yourself a n00b and flash them.

If there is nothing on your device that you want to keep, just download the 4.2.2 image from Google website and flash the images.

Root has nothing to do with updates.

No.

Technically your warranty is void once you unlock the bootloader. But the bootloader is relockable, so no one will be able to tell the difference.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Re: [HOW-TO] [GSM & CDMA] Return to stock for ALL Galaxy Nexus phones (latest JOP40D)

Unlocked bootloader does not mean it is not stock.

Download the 4.2.1 factory image and flash the following images: bootloader, radio, system, boot, and recovery. Then reboot, and the update will install.

What you are missing is that you need to extract 6 IMAGE files, not 6 files. The factory image is a tgz file. Inside that is a tar file. Inside that is a zip file. To get the 6 images, you need to extract ALL the archives: the tgz, the tar, AND the zip.
