Happy JDQ39 user

Thank you for making everything so clear. I took a long time reading everything through, followed the n00bs instructions for my yakjuxw, and am now a happy yakju user
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sickmotion:
hi efrant and the other folks! ;P

i flashed the 4.2.2 factory image ,flashed twrp 2.4.1.0 recovery.img and rooted it , all via fastboot/adb. everything works!

in another thread you said that the 2 files(script and patch file) which rename my custom recovery DO NOT exist in the factory image from google( yeah i can'T find them in the /system folder^^). ( i rebooted my phone several times and still got my twrp recovery, no stock recovery overwrite it). so does it mean i'm fine, don't have to worry about losing my custom recovery and can start flashing custom roms now?^^

thank you in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samersh72:
those system files exist when you receive OTA update only. since you flashed 4.2.2 via fastboot, you are ok with your custom recovery :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sickmotion:
i've got another question, sorry. -,-

i searched in this thread about installing the busybox after i rooted my device. it already has been said that it isn't necessary. some apps may need the busybox to work or get acces to some directions in the system. efrant does not mentioned in the OP that we need to install it, after we root our device.

so if an app ask for the busybox to be installed, which file/zip/app do you guys use?

are you simply install the busybox app from stericson on google play? ( that's what i found so far, but some toolkits like the galaxy nexus toolkit use some other busybox files, which don't create an extra app on your homescreen)

thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samersh72:
yes download busybox, open application and install it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
I like this one.

Ref the E: Optional section

Unfortunately the link to the CWM zip file leads to an infected source, and I can't use the Google Play version until I'm rooted ;)

I will purchase the CWM Pro version once I'm rooted, so is there another link to a non-infected zip so I can use the E: Option?

Mvh
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samersh72:
choose your appropriate cwm from here
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
What do you mean an "infected source"? Superuser is a way to gain root access -- of course it will register as a virus on anti-virus software.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cintra2:
Sorry, I've been going round in circles too long.. it was the Supersu file that was linked to which is reported as infected, that I need.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
I know that was what you meant, and that is the file I am referring to. SuperSU WILL register as a virus in most anti-virus software -- it is a way to gain root access...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cintra2:
OK, thanks. I'll go ahead with the E: Option then, tomorrow, when my head stops spinning :)

Couldn't resist continuing, and happy to report all went well :) Thanks for your help!

Re: [HOW-TO] [GSM & CDMA] Return to stock for ALL Galaxy Nexus phones (latest JDQ39)

OK something went wrong during flashing a ROM, but long story short I need to flash back to stock. I have done this before but I want to keep what is on my SD card intact. If I flash the boot loader will it relock and then when I unlock it everything will be wiped or will it remain unlocked? Do I even need to flash the boot loader in this process? Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Re: [HOW-TO] [GSM & CDMA] Return to stock for ALL Galaxy Nexus phones (latest JDQ39)

No, flashing the bootloader will not re-lock it. The step you need to skip is flashing userdata.img

Flashing the radio

I would like to know if flashing only the radio files could cause any issue.

Starting like a month or two ago, my wifi seems to be not working properly, whenever I'm connected to the wifi, I don't receive any Whatssap or viber messages, if someone sends me anything, i'll only receive it when I open the app and send something to someone, and it occurs only on the wifi, if I'm using 2g or 3g, no problem at all...

I don't even know if flashing the radio would solve the problem, but I'm trying anything, also, I thought about flashing the radio, because the problem started when I flashed AOKP build 3, but now I'm on stock android, with everything stock (ROM, kernel, recovery, ...), but the problem persists.

btw, sorry if I misspelled something, english is not my native language.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
The radio image only affects the cellular radio (i.e., 2G/3G), not Wi-Fi.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stompsfrogs:
This is a known bug in the stock jelly bean kernel https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=40065 basically, going to sleep while on wifi screws up messaging and notifications.

Try flashing a different kernel, I heard Franco thought he had it all ironed out. And your english is better than any of my foreign languages ;)

I just want to know is there any way to different a yakjukr - Variant for South Korea flashed to yakju with original yakju one. I'm going to buy a 2nd GNex so i can make bargain on that. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
The Korean model has a different model number, but as far as we know, the hardware is identical.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] trungnn:
Thanks for answering my question but i don't understand your answer. I saw topic which guide to convert yakjukr to yakju (return to stock). So after return to stock the Model number still "SHW-M420S/K" or change to Galaxy Nexus?

Can you give me a link or detail steps to check it's a converted to yakju or original yakju ? I know to use an application called galaxy nexus update checker, or view in build.prop. I understand that there's no hardware differences. Just want to lower price if it's a korean model but not international model.

Below is my system info. The model number is simple "Galaxy nexus"

Thanks again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
yakju or takju or yakjukr or yakjuxw or whatever is just the firmware running on the device. This you can change to whatever you want.

The models are M420 or SC-04D or I9250 (and a few others). The hardware seems to be identical from what we've seen. Just different name.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lonestrider:
after flash the latest firmware for yakju (4.2.2) my device got a boot loop.

i re-lock it after flash. I think there's no problem with this.

I came back to stock because I need to bring my Galaxy Nexus to Service Center as I know they won't grant me the guarantee if my device is locked, rooted, or custom romed... :(

anyone have this problem? it's almost 10 minutes, my device still on the boot screen.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
It means you're not in the correct folder. The folder you are in when you open cmd has to have the contents of the platform tools as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ThiagoHS:
What do you mean?

Can you give me an example?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
Just like what is mentioned in the first post, all the files have to be in the same directory. That is the directory you need to access when you open cmd. It varies from person to person depending on where you download the files. When you open cmd, you need to navigate to the directory where you saved the files. Example is if you placed them in a directory on your desktop and named it "nexus", you go to that directory from cmd by placing the command cd desktop(enter) then cd nexus(enter).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ThiagoHS:
Ah, now i got it.

[MENTION=1566190]efrant[/MENTION]

Hello my friend. I have a gnex stucked in a bootloop. Went to stock via fastboot, odin, wipe cache... bla bla bla, everything went fine but still stuck in nexus logo.

So i imagine that there is something wrong with param partition.

My question is : i want to extract param partition from a working gnex, to flash it on the bootlooped gnex, im wondering what is the file flashing ext name for param? Is it param.img or .bin or .lfs to extract it right since i cant find the param extension situated in block 4 when opening partition table. And can be flashed via fastboot?

"Fastboot flash param param.??"

Thx in advance

Nexus root toolkit

Get the Nexus root toolkit from wugfreshDOTcom/nrt/ (replace the DOT with a .) and select the soft-bricked/bootloop option and run the flash stock / unroot option and start clean :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
I highly doubt it would have to do with the param partition, as there is not much in that aside from the bootloader lock flag.

You can not flash it via fastboot, but you can flash it with root (i.e., using a custom recovery) and it doesn't matter what the extention is.

If we assume that the file is called param.unlock (you can get it from here) and it is downloaded into the same directory as your adb.exe, all you have to do to flash it is this:

1) Boot into CWM and connect to a PC

2) Open a command prompt an type:

su
dd if=param.unlock of=/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/param
exit
exit
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samersh72:
Thx for your answer

I asked for param, since my mini s3 and s2 and s4 when they stuck into boot loop after flashing official firmware via odin, i flash their params and then they boot normally. So i thought the same for nexus.

Hey, sorry I didn't respond earlier.

Give me until tomorrow. At work I have a Windows XP VM I can play with and try and figure it out.

I think though that in Windows XP it won't try, at least not in the same way that Windows 7 does.

Windows 7 will go out to the Internet and attempt to find the drivers. Windows XP usually prompts for a disk.

But let me work on it tomorrow and get back to you.

[HOW-TO] [GSM & CDMA] Return to stock for ALL Galaxy Nexus phones (latest JDQ39)

Just did this to my sprint nexus,and you just saved my ass!!! Have been trying everything else and this is the only thing that worked for me!!! YOU ARE KING FOR AT LEAST 1 DAY!!! ENJOY IT!!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molgator24:
This guide is great and is the clearest I've seen, but I'm running into an issue.

My gnex was a soft brick, I was able to get my computer to recognize it and can call it from the command line. I followed everything step by step. When I went to unlock the phone, (fastboot oem unlock) I selected yes on my phone on the Unlock bootloader screen and it just sat there. The command prompt continued to wait (...). I tried a battery pull and got back to the same place. Any suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
So you selected "Yes" by using the volume key and then confirmed it by pressing the power key? That should work. Maybe try a different port on your computer, and/or a different cable. Otherwise, I really have no idea.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molgator24:
I did select yes and hit the power key, though this is where it gets stuck. I can choose no and it reboots (to the Google screen, and sticks), so commands seem to be going through. I've tried different ports and cables (in various combinations), though no luck. I let it sit on the screen for some time and left to do something else. Over two hours later, it was still there. Seems to be a mystery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
What version of Android are you running? There are some ways to root while your bootloader is still locked, then you can unlock it from within Android.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molgator24:
I was completely stock (Verizon, toro, 4.2.2), though whatever went wrong in the first place was preventing me from doing anything like a factory reset or even booting into recovery. My phone is recognized at some point during the recovery boot through adb, though, and those drivers seem to be working, too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leonardodettoileo:
Oh this work is very good! I tried it and it is working! Thank you very much for this!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JuggaloDroid:
Great!

Thanks for putting this up. I'm moderately comfortable with adb and doing things manually but I'm still learning and this tutorial was a great help to let me know what was optional and what wasn't.

I used this to do a manual update from stock 4.2.2 to 4.3 from the factory image on the google dev website and it worked like a charm.

I have a GSM Galaxy Nexus on takju with CWM and a UG radio instead of the XX they give you in the factory image so I wasn't sure what to do there. I also didn't want to have to do a factory reset and lose all my data since the GN never came with a separate sd card.

All I had to do was flash the system.img, boot.img, and erase cache. Only the phone icon was gone and replaced with an android character but I just had to put the icon back on the home screen so no big deal.

Now all that needs to happen is flash a compatible super su, maybe busy box and wait for apps to dole out updates with 4.3 compatibility.

Thanks again!

Edit: Just noticed that the Nexus Louder I had installed is now not working an the beats app that came with it is gone. I may have to reflash but hopefully I can fix it. Just to let people know who are updating with this method.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Any "system" apps that you had installed (i.e., any apps that you installed into /system) and any other files you modified in /system will be gone, and require reinstalling.

i tried flashing only the system.img file and my phone never went past the boot logo screen.

do you know if i need to flash more files to upgrade from 4.2.2 to 4.3? i'm assuming the boot.img also got updated and do you know what else got updated?

thanks. any help is greatly appreciated.
