The stock from yakju ICL53F is fine to return it to the store. Check my post in the last page of that yakjuux nandroid thread for how to get back to yakjuux stock recovery if you really want it/care.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Androidin':
I just saw that :o

Flashed the stock yakju ICL53F recovery via adb and I'm good to go now. Off the phone goes tomorrow to have the battery charging *hopefully* fixed

additional tips for Mac OS

Regarding #2, what worked for me was having the complete directory location of the fastboot file before the fastboot command, before the /

I don't know if ./ is coder/programmer speak for that but I didn't know it so I had to guess it to make it work.

Also, in booting cwm.img, the filename also has to include the complete directory location of the image, even though it's in the same folder as fastboot. So it becomes ....folder/fastboot boot ...foldername/cwm.img

Hope these can be incorporated to the reference posts for Mac OS specific instructions. Additionally, perhaps specific instructions on where to put the fastboot file and in what folder can be given, so that the directory location can be even more spelled out in the instructions, just to make it a bit easier.

This was my absolute first time tinkering with Android, and I was lucky that my testing around worked in figuring out why I kept getting the "cannot load cwm.img" error message, and even in getting fastboot to work in the first

But again, thanks a whole lot to efrant for the instructions! Running now on takju 4.1 without problems!

quick question

hi i want to update my yakjuxw and i was directed to this link that worked. i have my phone rooted and unlocked by a tool i found here on XDA. now im a little bit lost here. where do i get or find the fast-boot? i have everything downloaded and set. drivers installed and everything but just need to know how to get the fast boot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kensta812:
Just wanted to give a big thanks! Just updated to 4.1 and was super easy, don't know why I waited so long to do it thanks for the awesome guide!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chrone:
it's from the android sdk platform tool directory. you could read on the first page of this thread, at the bottom of the page, there's the attached android sdk plaftorm tool.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eyej:
Yes. Well, everything except this step:

D. Type in the commands into the command prompt

12) Optional (NOT optional for n00bs) -- Flash the recovery partition: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

E. Optional -- Root

1) After finishing this process, if you want to root, see here.

Everything else is OK.

At the time i was doing this, the latest version was:

Factory Images "yakju" for Galaxy Nexus "maguro" (GSM/HSPA+)

Android 4.0.4 (IMM76I)

so i took that one.

Thanks for your help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
If you have opened your terminal AND have the fastboot file and the images in the SAME directory as your terminal is opened (it doesn't matter which directory), this command will work: ./fastboot boot cwm.img

You didn't do step 12 in part D. If you want the OTA to install automatically, you need to do that step as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eyej:
Thanks efrant, i will try. Will this action affect my existing data?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
Just to Clarify, on my yakjuux galaxy nexus I have to flash the following(in addition to the actual takju/yakju image) in order to receive future updates successfully on takju/yakju:

1. Boot loader

2. Recovery

3. Radio

During my research I stumbled onto Mark's Toolkit , I assume this method (fastboot) is safer / easier to troubleshoot then using a toolkit.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
No, if you only flash the recovery, it will not touch your data at all.

Yes, you need all the images: system, boot, userdata, radio, recovery, bootloader, and yes, it is MUCH easier to troubleshoot than using a toolkit. AND you may learn something doing it this way. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
Thanks for all the help as soon as I'm back from vacation and back to my computer I'm gonna flash takju, hoping everything goes smoothly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] waveoperator:
OK this is my first ever post on xda! Its my first ever android device as well.....

Bought this fone last nite and been doin sum research regarding the update to JB...came across this super thread....hats off to the creater.....just flashed yakju from yakjujp! Got an instant jb update from Google....

Had a lil trouble installin/updating the drivers but figured it in the end :)

A big thank you to all from India....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gladzilla:
And what was the solution? I have the same error:silly:

Please - ignore the question/remove it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Make sure you have "hide file extensions" turned off in Windows. I'm guessing you probably have something named recovery.img as recovery.img.img or something like that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gladzilla:
It was a concentration - focusing issue.

I was missing one "bootloader" ... so in my case it looked like: "fastboot flash bootloader-maguro-primela03.img"

It took me about 10 minutes to notice this very missing element :o

A trivial mistake that forced me to spam a bit... sorry for this one.

Thank you for all the help - it took me less than hour, based on your tutorials, to unlock bootloader, backup stock build, flash takju and update.

I'm running 4.1.1 JRO03c for an hour already :victory:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jpacs2007:
My problem was ./fastboot was not working in terminal in terms of getting fastboot to work. Although I didn't know how to open a terminal from within a particular directory. So I just opened terminal from Spotlight and had to add the directory location before fastboot to get it to work. I should look up opening a terminal from a directory first.

Thanks for the help efrant.

Question... :-)

I managed to install latest 4.1.1 stock OTA.

If now I flash a DSP MANAGER zip with CWM, will i be able to install manually any future OTA?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Post a link to the file you flashed, and I will let you know.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thegios:
DSP MANAGER http://db.tt/A0lXH1GF
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
You will need to replace the following file with the stock JRO03C one (when then next update becomes available): /system/etc/audio_effects.conf
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] waveoperator:
Hi,

Just wanted to know, if I root my device (as per the instructions in this thread) will it affect my future OTA updates in anyway?

I'm on Yakju - JR003C (JB 4.1.1)

Thanks for your support!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thegios:
so I can simply make a backup of the existing one with root explorer and later replace it for an OTA...

thanks...

wondering if this DSM MANAGER is worth it though... was using volume + on ICS but on JB it does not work any longer
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Nope.

Yup.

No idea. I've never used it. You can also try Equalizer. IIRC, others have said it works.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] waveoperator:
Thanks for confirming that rooting doesn't affect future OTA updates.

Also, the immediate next question that comes is, if I flash CWM on my device, will that affect my future OTA updates (since it replaces the stock recovery).

Pardon my basic questions, its my first ever android device and barely 72 hours into it! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
If you have CWM installed, you CAN install the update by following the directions here. The update will NOT install automatically when you receive the OTA notification -- for that, you will need to flash back the stock recovery. The thing is, the update will, in 99% of the cases, be available in the link I posted WELL BEFORE you receive the OTA notification on your device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] waveoperator:
Thanks bro for your super quick response as always!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adnanbaig18:
Great thread, i will surely go through the process to convert my yakju** to yakju tonight. But i have couple of questions.

1) Can i flash yakju 4.0.4 factory image available over my yakju** 4.0.2 without any issue or do i have to flash yakju 4.0.2 first?

2) And i just have to flash bootloader, system, data and boot partition and else right???

Please reply.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
1) Yes, you CAN flash yakju 4.0.4 over yakju** 4.0.2 with NO issues.

2) Flash all 6 images: boot, system, radio, bootloader, userdata, recovery
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adnanbaig18:
Okay, thanks a lot man.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] booyashakas:
So it turns out my Galaxy Nexus is giving me some trouble after I've flashed yakju 4.0.4 and got my OTA jelly bean. I've had it installed for a few days now and just this morning I woke up and took my phone off the charger and laid it on the table. After a few minutes I noticed the screen light up saying it was "charging 99%" despite it being unplugged. I reset it, no change. Take out battery, no change. Clean USB male connection on phone and actually bent it up slightly to make sure it wasn't shorting or something, no change. So right now my phone pretty much always has the lightning bolt indicating charging when it isn't.

I found a thread online indicating this similar problem and the general consensus is its shoddy USB hardware that Google/Samsung hasn't addressed and therefor need to be sent for repairs.

My question is, is there any indications that this may be caused by my flashing yakju from yakjuux? Secondly, I bought this 2nd hand from someone who purchased in April. If I have to return it to Samsung, is having yakju 4.1.1 on my phone going to cause issues considering I live in Canada and this isn't original? Third, I do have to relock before I send it in, right?

I spoke with a reprensitive from one of the carriers here in Canada and they were familiar with rooting and believed what I had done may very well void my warranty and have Samsung Canada reject my replacement/repair. Does that seem likely or possible?

Long post it seems, heh, thanks for any guidance!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
No, not at all. (If it were me, I would flash yakju IMM76I again, just to make sure that something didn't mess up with my flash, before I would consider returning it.)

I would return it with either yakju IMM76I (can be found on Google's site), yakju ICL53F (can be found on oldblue910's site linked in post #1), or, if you really want to be exactly stock like the way it was bought, with yakjuux ICL53F (can be found in a thread in the dev section).

Yes, I would.

If you return the device to out-of-box firmware, no one will ever be able to tell the difference...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] booyashakas:
Thanks for the info again. I flashed yakju IMM76I again but the charging issue is still happening sadly. Currently downloading the .zip from this thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1554256). Is that the one you were referring to?

Once I download that, is it possible the zip will contain those .img for the bootloader, radio, system, userdata, boot, and recovery? I'd like to do it the way you have outlined one the original post but it did state that CWM recovery should be used in that other post.

Also, the carrier rep I was talking to mentioned something about flash/root counters within the device that Samsung may be able to tell, even if I relock, that things were altered. Is there any truth to that on the Gnex or is it just something on the newer phones?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Yes, that was the one I was referring to. You need to flash it in CWM, then flash the stock recovery as per the first post. Then lock the bootloader.

And no, there is no flash counter on the GNex...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] booyashakas:
So many things to confirm, haha, phone is currently using CWM to restore that backup posted in the other thread. You mentioned restoring the stock backup.. I can use the backup from the IMM76I for that right? In addition, on that other site (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1554256) they mentioned updating the bootloader as well to PRIMEKK15, I guess that's also required to get to bone stock is it?

Thanks again
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eyej:
4.1.1 finally. Works perfect now. The problem was not flashing the recovery partition. Thanks mate.

Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] l1k3m1k3:
Is there any side effects with converting build?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bourne-nolonger:
So far from what I can see there is none. I was on yakjuux previously and converted 3 or 4 days ago and I haven't had any issues. Definitely worth doing! I'm with Rogers here in Canada

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] l1k3m1k3:
So, it always should be compatible to any "type" GSM Gnex I have, and there should be no JB incompatibility with Gnex hardware in any ways.

Thanks for answering.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] booyashakas:
Wanted to post an update to my situation. I flashed all the same images for yakju 4.0.4 again on my phone and when I rebooted I still had the charging issue. After that I setup CWM and used the recovery for yakjuux 4.02 posted on these forums to get me set back to stock. I also then flashed PRIMEKK15 bootloader and the recovery.img from yakju IMM76I back onto my phone and then locked the bootloader and reboot.

As of yet, and I did this last night, I have not had the charging issue. It was occuring constantly yesterday and occured immediately after I reflashed 4.0.4 so I'm starting to wonder if it actually was a hardware issue after all. Does anyone have any ideas what possibly could've caused this. Could it be the radios?

For reference, here is the open thread with google regarding the issue I'm experiencing (albeit, unlike some others, I was still able to charge, it was just the charging notification that was constantly turning off and on when the phone was unplugged).

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ccming:
use this method root, can I receive next OTA and update successfully without modification? thanks a lot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bourne-nolonger:
From what I understand... No. The only version that is slightly different is the Verizon model. If you search for other posts by efrant he explains it in more detail. But from what I know you should be fine. If your nervous, get one of the apps like gn official update checker and compare what it tells you to the list that efrant provided at the beginning of this post. If it's there your good to go (that's what prompted me to try). If it's not then just do your research and ask questions

Hey efrant!

I just got 4.1 yakju on my nexus after flashing yakju 4.0.4 over yakjuxw 4.0.4.

But... I did not install flash before updating to 4.1.1.

So can i go BACK to 4.0.4 yakju AGAIN and then install flash and update then?

Or maybe you see another way to get flash on my device without flashing the whole system?

Thanks :laugh:

The only difference is that yakju may not have some non-English dictionaries. Otherwise, there is no side-effects at all.

Yes, yakju and takju are compatible with ANY maguro (i.e., GSM) device. Mysid is for toro (i.e., Verizon) devices.

Have no idea what your problem could be.

Yes.

mic problem

mine was GNex GSM I9250 with 4.0.1 and it was updated with Android 4.0.4 (IMM76I) in accordance with the procedure given in the thread. It is showing problem with mic since then. From other side, people are complaining of low voice. It is quite right by using head phone and speaker of the phone. kindly suggest me what is the problem and where does solution lie? I have used hard factory resetting option with no result. And even flashing JB 4.1.1 could not resolve the issue.

Thanks

Thanks man, I got yakju build on my first try, your guide is easy to understand for the like of me.

Now, downloading JB 4.1 thru auto update.

But I am wondering, what's the different between takju and yakju? I choose yakju and I live in Indonesia, does it matter? Or should I choose takju?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] evil_penguin:
No. It's fine.

There is only 1 difference between takju and yakju -that takju has Google wallet and yakju does not have it.

And Google wallet works only in US.

I don't know where sdcard is supposed to be

I'm trying to upgrade a Galaxy Nexus to 4.1.1. Some time back (two months? I don't remember, sorry) I upgraded from 4.0.2 yakjuxw to 4.0.4 yakju. The phone has been working fine with 4.0.4 yakju, but now that I try to move on to 4.1.1, I have a zip file and don't seem to understand where I'm supposed to stick it. Okay, it should be in /sdcard/ but I'm not finding that in my phone and I don't know where it is supposed to be. The lowest (highest?) level I can see in Win Explorer (I'm running patched WinXP) is Galaxy Nexus. One level off that is Internal Storage. When I run Recovery from the fastboot loader, I select "install zip from sdcard" and then "choose zip from sdcard", but then almost halfway down my screen I get a red message, "E: Can't mount /sdcard/". I even tried creating a directory named sdcard below the Internal Storage, but that didn't work. I was unable to create any directory at the same level as Internal Storage. I wouldn't think it would matter, but as further information, my phone is encrypted and since all this stuff has been going on, I've tried to institute a factory reset both from within the fastboot loader and also after a normal boot from within Settings/Personal/Backup & Reset\Factory Data Reset. Any help would be appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Why don't you follow the instructions in the first post?

You can try looking at this.

No idea what could be causing your issues. It is not related to following these instructions -- it is likely coincidence that it happened at around that time.

Just download it on your device. No need to put it on your PC first. But anyway, if you are looking at it through Windows Explorer, the "Internal Storage" IS /sdcard on the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kaushikd:
Thanks for the update. I just followed the entire process. But after rebooting, I'm still running on 'yakjuxw' 4.0.4. Did i missed something? I followed each and every steps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
You obviously did something wrong. If you flash the images, you will be either on yakju or takju IMM76I.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] diaSalvatore:
I followed this tutorial, everything is gone okay, but camera app and youtube don't work.

I read another post on xda where someone says that it can be a problem related to a missing "build.prop" file, and maybe it's my case. I don't have "build.prop" in my system directory..

Why? And where can I found it?

thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kaushikd:

I'm trying to flash the yakju build but I'm having an issue with running fastboot. When I try to run it, I get this error:

The program can't start because AdbWinApi.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

I installed the Android SDK but that didn't help.

What am I doing wrong here?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
That is strange, because fastboot.exe doesn't require AdbWinApi.dll. If you are trying to use ADB, then your adb.exe file is probably not in the same directory as AdbWinApi.dll.

In any case, you didn't follow the instructions in the first post. No where in there does it say to install the SDK...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sydmohdm:
Will this flashing includes rooting... I have 8 months left in my warranty.. I don't wants to break it now

No,flashing doesn't requires rooting. You have to unlock the bootloader but then you can lock it back without leaving any trace. :)

I just did the same yesterday.

Congrats on the best "how to" on the net!!!

i wanted to take the time and express my gratitude to you and all the others involved in making this process possible and for providing the BEST set of instructions available....NO ONE COMES CLOSE!!!!

your method of doing it "old school" is by far the most efficient, instructive and practical for someone like me that "likes to know" what the hell i'm doing even i a total n00b when it comes to this arena!

just some quick advice for others like me when installing the "universal drivers" and the issues windows 7 presents with it's 'automated install' feature....the best practice i found to be the ONLY method that worked for me was to edit the registry to STOP it from replacing the universal drivers it kept installing time after time after time!

here's what i had to do to make the driver installs possible:

1. i adjusted the registry to STOP the automated driver from installing (do a google search for this since i post links yet) then,

2. i uninstalled the drivers windows kept on installing my gn with in for both instances (basic & fastboot mode) then,

3. installed the universals ONLY AFTER i augmented the registry to ALLOW the universal drivers to install!

if you have any questions i will try to answer them...this tutorial ROCKS!!!
