I think that people having a better experience on a hacked(nicely mind you), sense 4.0 rom must have set up Gingerbread wrong. See how easy it is to make a statement like that. I have experienced both ics, and gb, and have always had a smoother experience on gb. I hated how ics scrolling in the browser, xda app, tapatalk, and others was jittery at best. I love some of the elements of ics, but the trade off was too much for me. My phone ran about 11 degrees different between ics, and gb. Also, if you go back to around Christmas, overheating was an issue then. On stock. So apparently, this phone can have heat issues. Don't get me wrong, I love this phone, and I appreciate all the work that goes into making roms. I have been following these developers for quite a while. They are all really good. We are blessed to have them.

Samsung makes lots of chips or ics, they're very good at it. If they do have a problem, it's assembling them into a reliable combo then developing software and drivers that hold it all together in a consistent build. That's where Google comes in and makes Samsung their ***** lol.

[HTC EVO 3D] stimpyshaun:
Just want to throw this out there, but qualcomm only designs its chips. It doesn't directly make them, even their soc s. so in the op's defense its possible that Samsung(which does make semiconductors) builds them. In fact Samsung may be producing some s4 chips this year due to there current partner's inability to keep up with demand. Having said all that the chip would still branded by qualcomm..

Just looked at the pictures and there isn't a separate gpu in mobile socs, just one snapdragon chip that houses adreno and scorpion CPU.
[HTC EVO 3D] ckoadiyn:
You guys that's why its the fail boat cause it makes train noises lmfao sorry if I didn't know better I'd think I was stoned
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
While you might have a slight point there I'm 99% sure that's not going to happen...the S4 being produced on 28nm process is nothing like any process Samsung has sets up as they are just now getting to 32nm themselves....so getting them to produce the chip would require them changing a bunch of stuff from what I've read as that's what the current producer for qualcomm did with the new process...

Could Samsung do it? Probably with the right amount of $ thrown at them.....will they do it? No way as Qualcomm has its own agreement with their manufacturer already so going to Samsung and paying them to undertake something different to them is highly unlikely...

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mazda:
To answer your question........YES you can use that donor phone to flash to boost BUT you're asking in the wrong place :)

Flashing to Boost Mobile is NOT like flashing a ROM, you can't just explain it in 5-10 minutes or on XDA for that matter because it breaks a few rules!

BUT this isn't the end of the road for you... :) Hit me up on PM and we'll talk more about this IF you would like...hahaha
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hecho008:
I was trying to flash the BAMF SoaB Sense 3.5 Rom and it kept rebooting randomly, even without making any personal changes (apps+data). I cleaned up my SD card and tried to flash the Infected Eternity Sence3.5 ROM, and I get an installation error (Status 7). This happens when ever I try to flash a new ROM, but the CM7.1 back ups that I made through ROM Manager, reload just fine.

Any ideas on what could be wrong?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ByteSizeSln:
Make sure you're using the latest version of CWM - 5.0.2.1, for the non-touch version, available here: http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager.

Older versions of CWM, well, don't work for "newer" ROMs.

Oh, and when flashing from AOSP <-> Sense, make sure you wipe everything (Cache, Dalvik, Data, and System).

You can flash the latest CWM from the BootLoader also:

You could also try 4ext recovery. It has an option to wipe all except SD card which makes flashing easier.

[Windows][Linux][Mac][One-Click] Root - CWM - Galaxy Nexus 4.0.1 & 4.0.2 -NO WIPE-

Introduction

I put together a one-click root in CASUAL format. Because it's in CASUAL format, the same Java JAR will work on Windows, Linux and Mac.

This package contains

root your device without unlocking/wiping.

install busybox without unlocking/wiping.

install Clockwork Mod Recovery for GSM or CDMA without unlocking/wiping.

Lock/unlock

Download and Instructions

CASUAL is easy to use, and fairly self explanitory.

Launch the downloaded application using Java with right-click-open, or from a command line: "java -jar GalaxyNexus.jar"

Select "Galaxy Nexus root"

Click the "Do It' button

Optionally: Repeat the previous step with "Install Busybox" option selected to install Busybox.

Optionally: Select Install Galaxy Nexus CDMA or GSM ClockWork Mod Recovery

Download Galaxy Nexus Root and Busybox

Ensure you have Java Installed on your computer. Do you have java?

Shown on Windows 7 with dropdown selected, showing available items:

Shown on Ubuntu 12.04, ready to root a Galaxy Nexus:

Warning

I am not responsible if *insert random event here* happens..... standard disclaimer.

CASUAL stands for Cross-platform ADB Scripting, Universal Android Loader. You can find the source at http://android-casual.googlecode.com

Hope this helps! Please leave feedback.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mohitrocks:
Looks promising :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AdamOutler:
I just updated this to one-click install CWM without unlocking your device. Have fun :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Guti1977:
Great. Any chance of getting this working on 4.0.3 or 4.0.4? Keep on the good work :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AdamOutler:
If anyone can come up with an exploit, CASUAL can package it for one-click operation on all operating systems.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mentalchaos03:
Any chance of having the option to unlock the bootloader?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] XTacDK:
Hi! If i root my Nexus with this tool, then i will void the warranty? I dont want to install recovery or unlock bootloader, just root.

Looks nice :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AdamOutler:
Yes!

I'm still working on figuring out all of the reprecussions of this. I think it can be done, but I'm not sure what all is contained in the same file... I don't want to release something with side effects.

I'm not really sure what the terms and conditions of your warranty are, but there is no "unlocked" icon to show that you've voided your warranty because this uses a permissions exploit to circumvent the need to unlock and flash a kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iBowToAndroid:
I would GLADLY donate a nice amount if there would be a way to make this work on Honeycomb. Sick of Verizon's bs not getting ICS out to the Xoom, but I have too much game data saved - don't wanna root since unlock/wipe is required.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AdamOutler:
Thats not a nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iBowToAndroid:
Pretty much is. AOSP, uses fastboot, etc. Just different OS version.

I get why though - just wish there was a way...

Busy Box

Do you need t install busy box or Install the proper recovery for your device

Please explain.

I am interested in Root and or Super User and i think this is the way to go but not sure about the BB or Recovery.

With this giving you +root+ and no wipe what is need for BB and shouldn't you still be able to restore the phone using factory reset?

Thankx!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ppd0526:
You can root with this app without needing to wipe. It will automatically install the Super User. Then you can install Busy Box via the application as well.

You do not need to install a custom recovery if you do not want to. BusyBox is simply tools on the android that let you install more apps that require advanced commands.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DjRenigade:
Galaxy Nexus 4.0.1 & 4.0.2 -NO WIPE

Thank you!!

:o If i have the need to un-root my device will this application do that as well?

Also, will i still be able to receive OTA updates this way or will i have to do them manually? I just want to know my optionswith it before i +root+ using this method.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ppd0526:
I don't see why you can't get OTA updates but that might kill the root. Meaning the update could stop the root and you would have to either reroot it using this way or using the official method where you first have to unlock the device.

Maybe the developer can shed a bit more light on that part and for un-rooting as well :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DjRenigade:
I bet that GnexRootToolkit.v1.3 will un-root your phone if you use this 1-click method. Just not sure.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AdamOutler:
You should be fine. Just run the app again after rooting. This works with the 4.0.2 OTA.

If you need to unroot id check out ERD Supercurio's RootKeeper. Great app and it can spoof unrooting .

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] laserbiz:
Are there any pre-requisites to do or programs to have before running your Casual.JAR. I have my Nexus connected to my computer and it shows up as galaxy nexus , I can access the folders on the nexus thru my computer...but when I run your Casual.jar the link status shows Disconnected ... what I am I doing wrong? I do I have version 4.0.2 and it is a verizon phone :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AdamOutler:
Put it in development mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] laserbiz:
I went into the Nexus settings and searched for development mode and could not find it...What am I missing besides my brain? Thanks!

===============================================================================

I found the answer I think... DUH! turn off phone, then hold volume key and power button together.

So I am guessing cause it is not explicit in the instructions ......

1. put phone in development mode (see above :) )

2. connect to computer via usb cable

3. Run the casual.jar file as per AdamOutler's instruction.

(Sometimes things are too obvious, that they get lost..... well at least for me!)

============ uh oh

I did the above and still link status shows disconnected..... do I need to initiate the fast boot or something else on my phone for the link to be established? I am terribly sorry that I am so needy, but As I said before....I am apparently missing quite a few brain cells. Thanks in advance for you r answers!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] saratoga2:
So i followed the instructions, ran the JAR and selected "install galaxy nexus CDMA recovery" since I have a CDMA nexus. It rebooted, and now just shows a fallen over android robot with a red exclamation point.

Phone is completely stock, never did anything with it.

How do I fix it?

Edit: As soon as I hit post it rebooted itself, then I installed root and tried again. That fixed it. To be clear, you must root before running the CWM install, its not done automatically.

4.0.4

Is there some way to please release a version of this for 4.0.4 as soon as possible please!!!! THX!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SKYLINESSUCK:
That's the stock recovery just for reference.

This takes advantage a vulnerability that only exists in 4.0.2 and below. That vulnerability was "fixed" for 4.0.4. Somebody is going to find a new loophole to exploit for that to happen. The other methods don't take advantage of this particular exploit. You know there are other ways to root 4.0.4, right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] knox420:
Well, to the best of my knowledge they all require an unlocked bootloader. Yet, unlocking your bootloader requires wiping.

Or do you know of any method that allows rooting with a locked bootloader on 4.0.4?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SKYLINESSUCK:
Nope, you have to wipe it as far as I know. You didn't say you were trying to avoid unlocking the boot loader in your original question hence my answer. Your justgoing to have to bite the bullet I think.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] knox420:
I thought so too. Do you know if the backup function has evolved a little? Am kindda afraid of losing all data of third party apps.

And I'm so angry that I simply forgot to use root keeper when I updated to 4.0.4. Well, my bad. Thanks anyway
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tomlang:
help???

How do I get the Galaxy Nexus i515 phone into development mode or whatever is needed to link with the computer?

I tried powering up with the vol down pressed, and get into the download odin mode. I tried with the vol up&down pressed, and can choose between start, bootloader, and recovery mode. No sign of a development mode, and only see link status disconnected on casual R117.

What am I missing?

nevermind, found it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AdamOutler:
Alright... I'm pushing out a new version with updated instructions and lock/unlock functionality. Instructions have been updated as well.

I have temporarily named the Lock and Unlock "GSM" until I'm certain that there is no difference. If you try this on a CDMA device.

Currently the download count of CASUAL is 7614.. not bad..

Version 1.0 will be out sometime this month after I add a few features.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jeep364:
Hello fellow AMEDDer,

I was linked to the casual program from this android authority site (http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-nexus-casual-one-click-root-recovery-87400/).

I was originally trying to install the 4.0.4 update since verizon seems to be taking their sweet time with the OTA update.

I am running a stock galaxy nexus 4.0.2 IF53L. So I ran the casual program and accidentally first installed the CDMA CWM recovery. I then installed the root which was successful and tried to install the busybox, but that seemed like it never worked...nothing was ever completed for that one.

Anyways, the plan was to fastboot, go to recovery, and try to scroll through and install update.zip (which i had moved to my sd card).

I went into fastboot, and everything looks stock - tuna, toro, etc ,etc and it says unlocked on the device on the bottom. I then clicked through to recovery and it jumps into that and shows the android on its back with the red exclamation mark. At this stage I could not get anything done, volume + power would take me nowhere and there was no text to scroll through. Eventually I just booted back into the standard operating state of the phone.

I cleared out the recovery.img that casual placed in my sd drive. Since then I haven't really bothered to touch anything.

What is going on with my device at this point? Is there a way to check if it actually got rooted? If so, do I need to unroot?

How about the stock recovery, how do I check if I have that? I tried checking with the gnex tools in this forum but it was always 'waiting for device' and yes I have teh proper drivers, debug checked, etc)

I am assuming that right now my phone is basically sitting at stock settings, since when i go to recovery mode all i see is the droid with the exclamation mark and can do nothing else.

EDIT: I just retried your software in proper order this time, Root, then install CWM for CDMA. After fastboot, CWM shows up, I was able to install 4.0.4 update and am running IMM76K. Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] laserbiz:
Woo Hoo I got it to work and installed Root access and busybox on my Verizon phone as well as the rootkeeper app, THANK YOU! But Of course I do have a few more questions

1 What is the purpose of installing GSM or CDMA Recovery? (And which one should I choose?)

2 What is the purpose of installing Lock and Unlock GSM?

I am sorry I am not as knowledgeable as most of you, but I am learning and again thanks for your efforts to educate me!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skennelly:
CDMA is he network verizon uses. GSM would be for AT&T.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] laserbiz:
Ok, so does installing CDWM recovery on my Verizon phone give me more abilities to "recover" things i screw up? By installing it does it wipe any of my current info away? The GSM Lock and unlock is not for my Verizon phone right? Again my apologies If I appear to be an idiot... just learning big time thanks to you guys !
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hp13:
are you making one for 4.0.4? root without losing data?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] laserbiz:
And yes I have another question... are you sick of me yet? I know I would be! So while waiting for an answer to my previous post , I looked at installing the CDMA Recovery, and in the window it says:

" After flashing you will be presented the option to reboot into recovery. " So I hate to ask but is that what I want to do after installing, reboot into recovery? The instructions are not explicit.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AdamOutler:
You will want to put a super cool rom in cwm format (zip) on your sdcard and then boot intobrecovery and flash it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] laserbiz:
Ok Thanks for your answer and your Hard work, but the nexus does not have an SD card or Card slot! Now what? And If I some how am able to flash a rom do I lose my info that I have on my phone? Sorry, but stuff has to be crystal clear for me to understand.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AdamOutler:
the /sdcard/ folder on your device... download it from your device or transfer it to your sdcard. or you can unlock and flash with fastboot. do some searching on flashing a custom ROM. I'd recommend using the backup feature before you make any changes. Also, get adb and fastboot installed so you have a backup.

HI ALL,

Its me again... So I downloaded and installed Voodoos OTA rootkeeper and backed up my Super User... Then "temporarily" Unrooted my Nexus, but when I tried Titiantium Back up it still worked AND Time-Warner's new app that allows the viewing and recording of live TV Does not work because it, The time warner app, is reporting My phone is still rooted.

The Time-Warner app is only allowed on Android 4.0 or higher and non Rooted phones. So my question is this: Does the Casual Jar allow the removal

of Root better then the Root keeper? Or as usual am I Just a dumb blonde? HELP!

just remove superuser.apk

Just a friendly reminder guys... 4.0.4 has no known root exploit.

Root now, install supercurio's OTA rootkeeper and you will be set. After the upgrade you can continue to unlock and use CWM recovery with CASUAL and no wipe.
