Waiting for some reply as I m too curious to flash to yakju........
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pranavhooda:
Super annoyed now...... just want to flash to yakju........ can some one out there answer my above questions???
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Your Wi-Fi data is backup up to Google's servers (if you have the option checked), so they are downloaded automatically.

As the first post says, you need to extract ALL the archives. Extract the .tgz, and extract the .zip inside the .tgz, and, if there are more .zip files inside that, extract them as well.

All the images are in the .tgz

You do not have to download the radio and bootloader separately. It is included in the .tgz...

Your problem is that you did not read the entire post carefully before starting.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pranavhooda:
This is what I have in the folder after extracting all the files...... am I going right ????
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danijaan:
Reverting to stock recovery image?

Can someone kind enough to tell me If I can revert back to stock recovery from CWM recovery while still having JB 4.1. I have Yakju with Unlocked bootloader but unrooted. I want to have OTA in future and for that I heard everything needs to be stock and in this case I guess everything is stock but recovery image.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
It you flash the JB stock recovery, the next OTA will install automatically. Wait for the JB factory image to be posted, and pull the recovery out of it.

No. The yakju-imm76i-factory-8001e72f is an archive. YOU NEED TO EXTRACT THE FILES FROM WITHIN THAT ARCHIVE. Then there will be another archive inside that. YOU NEED TO EXTRACT THE FILES FROM WITHIN THE SECOND ARCHIVE AS WELL. Then you need to put ALL the images into the same directory as fastboot.exe
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danijaan:
Thank you efrant for instant reply. Reverting back to factory image won't wipe or clear my data, right? And once the factory image is available I need to put my Gnex in fastboot mode and type ' fastboot boot recovery recovery.img ' and that is it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
As long as you just flash the recovery image, nothing will wipe. And yes, your command is correct.

EDIT: The command to flash recovery is: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pranavhooda:
Now I have is is it OK???
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Yes. Finally! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danijaan:
Confusion

efrant just to clear my confusion, these are the commands I need?

' fastboot devices' (to check if device is recognized)

Do I need to enter both of these commands?

'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img'

and 'fastboot boot recovery recovery.img'
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Sorry, that was my mistake. The command to flash the recovery is:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Not "boot".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danijaan:
Thank you. And at the end 'fastboot reboot'

And that is it, right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
fastboot devices

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot reboot

That's it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Palwal:
Sir,

How can I revert back 4.1.1 to 4.1. I found 4.1 smoother and better than 4.1.1.

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChrisAG:
So since my bootloader is unlocked, is it a simple matter of going into Fastboot and flashing the radio only:

fastboot flash radio radio-maguro-i9250xxla02.img

Then reboot

In, out, nobody gets hurt (no data wipes)?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TRDArtz:
I can confirm that this is correct. I've been trying different radios after following this tutorial to upgrade to 4.0.4

I've tested the XXLA and the UGLC1 (newest one from the yakjuux 4.0.4). from my experience the XXLA pings faster but transfer speed is slower while UGLC1 is slower ping but much faster transfer speed.

have fun trying different radios out. BTW I'm in Greater Vancouver area.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rajsancheti:
hi, first thanks and

hi efrant,

thanks alot, i completed everything but now my wifi is not working fine. torrents are not downloading and even speedtest app is not able to run and check the speed. i can still browse the net on my phone but the speed of the wifi is gone loke some block is there.

my version was yakjujp 4.0.2 and i did all this for first time. need help
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
No idea. I've never heard that before. Maybe check your Wi-Fi settings on your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swiftden:
Thanks for the guide efrant! Everything went very well! Converted from yakjuxw - takju.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Standfest:
Hi, guys! A month ago I've used this manual to update my galaxy nexus to 4.0.4, all was okey, but now about a week I'm getting OTA notification for update to 4.0.4, however I already have 4.0.4. This notification is showing up every 15-30 minutes!!! It is terrible that I have to press cancel always. If I choose to install, it reboots to recovery and then says "signature verification failed", so I can't install. HOW to fix that? Or how to disable OTA update notification?

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Yes.

You had IMM76D before. Not you are getting the update for IMM76I.

This is why I don't like referring to version as 4.0.1 or 4.0.2 or 4.0.4. There have been two 4.0.1 versions and 4.0.4 versions... Much clearer to refer to the versions by their actual build number, IMM76I.

Although I would install it instead of disabling it, you can disable the update by changing a line in your /system/build.prop file. Replace the line that starts wit ro.build.fingerprint with the following:

ro.build.fingerprint=google/yakju/maguro:4.0.4/IMM76I/330937:user/release-keys

To install the update, you need to 1) make sure that you are using the stock kernel that came with IMM76D, 2) make sure you are using the stock recovery that came with IMM76D, and 3) make sure that you did not modify any files in /system.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fifarunnerr:
You need to install stock recovery so it can install the update.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spaceman860:
I have seen in other how to instead of step 9,10,11 they say to do fastboot-w update XXXX.img can you explain the difference. Thanks

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Is I had stated in the first post: There are other methods that are abbreviated and/or faster, but I wanted to spell out each step in the process for the purposes of learning.

That step you are referring to, is a shortcut that combines a bunch of steps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iGoogleNexus:
Alright so I went from yakju to takju... everything works besides me getting root... after I flashed the takju build I immediately wanted root... used clockwork recovery and flashed the SU ... sooo I reboot and it says I don't have root. But when I turn off the phone and boot into recovery I have Clockwork from there. O.o what did I do wrong? =\

- Google
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
You probably flashed an su.zip that was old. Look at the "update" link in my sig. In the first post, I've linked a version of su.zip that works.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iGoogleNexus:
Good sir... thank you very much =]

- Google
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andriykoua:
efrant!

Thank you so much for this post. I was trying to do this before and reading Google Dev pages, but your steps are simple and right to the point.

I've updated my GN purchased from Virgin Mobile Canada to the Yakju including the radio, recovery etc (all 10 steps performed) and I've noticed that my reception is not as good as it used to be (I am with FIDO) and I have also tested WIND mobile sim, and the reception is very weak. How can I flashback to the newest baseband that has been pushed to all the Virgin/Bell users? Also, is there a link that I get download from Google Directly? Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
The newest radio for virgin/bell is UGLA4 (or UGLC1 but it seems like it was a leak). I've tried both, and they work just fine for me on Rogers (but so does XXLA2 for me).

All radios can be found in the radio sticky in the general section. There are no links readily available from Google.

You flash radios by booting into fastboot mode and typing: fastboot flash radio NameOfRadio.img
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mjh60:
It seems like these step are for PC.... do I do the same for Mac?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ccming:
I successfully converted. yesterday when I talk with my friend on weixin, system suddenly restart by itself.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Essentially, yes.

There are a few things you need to do different:

1) you need to use the MacOS version fastboot, which I've attached.

2) all the commands need a ./ before what is listed in the first post. For example, fastboot devices becomes ./fastboot devices

3) no drivers required!

It's most likely nothing to do with your conversion. App related maybe?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] desi_ak47:
Hey...that is a nice and clear tutorial. I new to android world and i used this tutorial to upgrade my firmware from 4.0.1 to 4.0.4(Yakjuux to Yakju). I did not do any radio flashes or any other optional flashes. My GN has become a little laggy from 4.0.1... lag in terms of Temple Run(sudden slow frame rate) & when i double tap on the picture to zoom the effect isn't that smooth. and overall scrolling through messages, app store & app store seems a bit laggy.. I've reads other threads about this issue but couldn't get the answers i was looking for. Do you have any suggestions regarding this issue???i thought this update would make GN more smoother and faster but got a little lagging in my case. Please Help!!!

error cannot load 'cwm.img'

hi,

i bought a gsm galaxy nexus a week ago (a new user..just registered on xda)

i have a yakjuxw with 4.0.4 stock (just updated from 4.0.2)........i wanted to flash latest 4.1(takju) so i started the process (2nd method mentioned in 2nd post)(step by step, posted by efrant).

(after downloading all the attachments and files needed) installed the drivers, successfully unlocked the bootloader with fastboot command.

[i installed the abd and fastboot from a package i downloaded from (How To: Install ADB and Fastboot on your Windows computer for use with your Android phone) on dottech.. ......but then later i copied and replaced them with the files attached to 2nd post (platform-tools-v19)]

copied the cwm.img (downloaded, renamed) to directory and tried to execute the command 'fastboot boot cwm.img' but it said [cannot load 'cwm.img'].......and i am stuck here....if i go to recovery mode it shows the Android bot laying down with exclamation mark in red colored triangle.

i haven't done anything else (no root etc.)

(my first post, pardon me if somethings wrong)

plz help.

thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Are your fastboot.exe file and your cwm.img file in the same folder? Is your device booted in fastboot mode?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] goodman33:
yes. the files are in same folder.

and yes i booted in fastboot mode (pressing both volume keys+power key).......now the device is unlocked (i see UNLOCKED in red color when in fastboot mode)

Rooting for Gnex Jelly Bean

Just received my Jelly Bean update today and wanna root. These instructions above apply to Jelly Bean right? That is, with the exception of substituting the old "su-v307.zip" file with the newer "CWM-SuperSU-v0.92-mod.zip" file? Just wanted to double check because I'm new to all of this stuff!

Thanks!

(I do have JRO03C w/ an unlocked bootloader)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Well then it probably has something to do with the file exention. You probably renamed the file cwm.img.img if you have "display file extentions" turned off...

Will android be able to install future updates if there is no recovery installed?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
If you have the stock recovery installed, the next update will install automatically when you receive the notification. If you have CWM installed, you will need to apply the update in CWM yourself.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wrecknoble:
just wanted to say thanks, your procedure worked like a charm and now i'm on Jellybean in Toronto, Canada. Screw you Samsung for trying to lock us down!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chrone:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] goodman33:
:good: thanks efrant for all the info and providing a detailed explanations wherever necessary.....helped a lot.

yakjuxw to takju JRN84D, and now jelly bean 4.1.1 :D

i have one more question......is it necessary or advisable to 'root' your device?? (i have followed 2nd method in post 2 to get to 4.1 and now it prompted me with 8.5mb 4.1.1 update)....

....also i just received 4.1.1 ota so does that mean that i am going to receive ota updates in future, if any? (asking because u said in a post above that ppl who have CWM installed have to update manually only)

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
When I flash to takju/yakju should I notice a difference in signal strength(better or worse) between my current radio(UGKL1) and the one bundled with takju/yakju? I'm still on 4.0.1 yakjuux and am located in Vancouver BC.

EDIT: Which would be better to flash yakju or takju?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Root your build if you want. Or not. Makes no difference if you are not going to use anything the requires root.

Are you on 4.1 or 4.1.1? If you have CWM installed, CWM will not be able to install the update over-the-air when you receive it. You will need to apply it manually.

Prob no change in signal strength.

No difference really in yakju or takju.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Then you have the stock recovery installed, and you are all set for the next update.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] goodman33:
Thanks again.

I ws so frustrated wen tht cwm.img wasnt working....

my fault that i dint chk that "hide extensions for known file types", in windows (tools>folder options>hide extensions for known file types) . .......as a result i named file cwm.img as cwm.img.img .....(sharing for ppl who are new to this process :-) ) ...........

also i got confused between which fastboot.exe and adb.exe to choose......the one provided in post 2 as an attachment 'platform-tools-v19' (i dint know that this attachment actually contains those files) or to get them from Android SDK.....came to know by reading other posts that any of them will work.

:-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eddie_gordo:
Hi there efrant,

I have just followed your steps on the first post to convert a friend's yakjuxw Nexus to yakju 4.0.4. It all went smooth as expected, except that the device didn't start to reinstall the apps he had installed after the reboot/login to Google account. Any idea on how can this be "forced"?

Best regards.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
I think you need to make sure the setting is set in back-up and restore under options. Not entirely sure though. I worked fine for me without doing anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eddie_gordo:
Yeah, that option was (and is) setted. Not sure what happened then. Also, the launcher background is the same as it was before the process. Does this backup/restore from Google keep this?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Good question. I don't know. I've only ever used the default phase beam.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eddie_gordo:
Well okay then.. :) He'll just install the apps one by one (I believe it's the first time the "All apps" tab on Play Store will be useful). :) I have checked with Android System Info and the device is now 'yakju', so we're good to go! :)

Thanks once again!!

Quick question- how come with JB I should use SuperSU versus just old SU? What is special about the version you posted? many thanks in advance!

You can use superuser as well. However the package I linked to in that post won't work for JB. I never had time to package it up for JB yet.

trouble loading Jelly Bean after yakju conversion

I converted to yakju 4.0.4 about two months ago and that went fine *except* if I go to the Recovery Screen i get a little droid bot laying down with an exclamation point. It doesn't bother the operation of the GNEX. Today I got the 4.1 update pushed to me (yay!) and I went to install it. It seemed to be going fine, got about 1/3 through on the progress bar and then it stopped with a little droid bot laying down with an exclamation point?

Is this because I messed up the recovery image on the 4.0.4 update? Is there something else I can do to make the JB update take the next time it is pushed to me?

I am complete stock except for an unlocked bootloader from the 4.0.4 upgrade>

Please help!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Go here, get the update and follow the directions.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] saltiel:
Thanks

I will do that. Can you tell me what the android laying down with the ! means??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
That is the stock recovery main screen. The problem is that you have something that is not stock, and the stock recovery won't tell you what the problem is, but CWM will. By booting CWM and trying to flash the update, it will tell us exactly where it is failing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] saltiel:
JB Will not update

I booted cwm.img, I told it to apply the update from the SD Card, I found the zip file which I placed there and got the following:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
So that means that you have the wrong radio. You need to have the XXLA2 radio flashed before you can apply the update. Then, after you apply the update, you can flash back whatever radio you want. Get the radios in the radio thread (linked in my sig).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] saltiel:
Got it JB!

As I write this I am past the error, thanks to your help. I must have messed up flashing the radio when I upgraded from 4.0.2 yakjuxm to 4.0.4 yakju. It's lucky that the radio I had worked at that time! Everything seems to be going fine with the upgrade... "Installation complete"

Rebooting!! (fingers crossed)

Looking good, Android is upgrading ... and the answer is ... Android 4.1.1

Thank you so much for your patient help.

apologies if this was answered earlier in the large thread but:

"5) Although I haven't tested it out myself, assuming your bootloader is unlocked, you may be able to keep you data, despite going through this process, by skipping step 10 in part D. "

Did someone end up testing this? I'm all backed up and ready to wipe if truly necessary, but I'm curious to know if there's a way around needing to. Though I suppose later on in the OP it suggests flashing data.img is one of the 2 only necessary files to change build...

Second question, how does one "lose" root access once they have it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Horatiuf4:
Thanks a lot!

Hi,

I was on yakjuxw until last night, now I'm a Jelly Bean of yakju!

Great guide, I never done this before but I understood everything.

I have one question: what are the scores you get in a quadrant benchmark after the 4.1.1 update : the highest I got was 2200 (which is lower than on 4.0.x) and I even got once 1750. Is that normal or should I be concerned ?

Thanks a lot from Romania and have a great weekend!!!

Ahhhh, from what I can see, no. I can choose the phone language to be Romanian, but there are no add on dictionaries. I actually never used them and don't know what's their job. I really don't mind loosing them.
