Thanks to efrant

Thank you Efrant.

With your guide, I was able to convert to Yakju 4.0.4 from Yakjuxw 4.0.2. Many many thanks to you :)

Yakju, Takju & Soju?

For everyone to read.

Those build names 'Yakju', 'Takju', 'Soju' might have come from types of Korean liquor. I can not post a link here as I am a quite new member, you can google 'Yakju Takju Soju' and click 'Official Site of Korea Tourism Org.: Liquor'

In the third paragraph, it says

"When rice-based alcohol is processed, it separates into two parts: a clear part on the top and grainier part on the bottom. The clear top liquid is extracted first; this is called yakju (약주). The remaining substance is filtered with water and is called takju (탁주, also called makgeolli). Soju (소주), one of the most frequently-enjoyed drinks, is made through the distillation of takju or yakju."

Is it just coincident? ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Interesting!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
I noticed this first on the nexus s. Then a friend from korea offered me soju. Not bad. In the same manner, maguro is a type of tuna and mysid is like shrimp
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] segv11:
Maguro and toro are both tuna, I think, but different kinds. I thought there was something fishy with my Galaxy Nexus, now I know for sure. ;-)

When I try to root, I get the following error:

Finding update package..

Installing update....
E:Error in /sdcard/Superuser-v307.zip

How can I go about fixing this issue to root the device?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Let me re-upload the file. I think I uploaded an old one. I'll post here when it's uploaded (a little later).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skorph:
I'm thinking of giving su.zip the file at Link a try. It wouldn't make a different, would it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Try it out.

I've also update my post as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skorph:
Awesome. It works like a charm :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] P-MUX:
all files extracted . . .

After ALL of the extraction, then yes, all of the image files are present (there were some zipped files inside of the main zip file). But yes, that's a good thing to check.

Back to original?

Hello,

First of all thanks for the great tutorial!

Secondly I have a question: it is able to go back to the original version?

I mean I have yakjuxw now, and if go yakju it is able the go back to yakjuxw later?

For example it is necessary if I had warranty issues. (surely also lock bootloader)

Thanks,

M.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Step B3 will back up you current build. That said, you should be OK returning your device with yakju for warranty. And yes, you can lock the bootloader; instructions are in the first post.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mikka005:
Oh sorry, my mistake. I skipped the backup part becuse I tought I't only user datas...

thanks!

Total n00b here. I have followed all the steps in changing my GNex build and rooting the phone. It works flawlessly as present. However, my question is is it necessary to install Busybox? I have not tried any apps that require root access so far, but I don't know if SU alone suffices in getting me going. Thanks.

captcha: ereppro and
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Some apps do require buybox, but it is not a requirement for root. I would personally install it...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sinistr0:
Hello guys, I read the guide, and did everything right, I didn't missed any step or recieved any unexpected error.

I flashed the following files: system.img, userdata.img and boot.img from the yakju-imm76i version of the android ( downloaded straight from google). after that I cleared the cache and rebooted.

After the first boot the Gnex found my carrier and I was able to use the 3G for 5 mins, after that the 3G went off and I wasn't able to use it again (even with the network properly configured it doesn't work). The wi-fi works fine, so I guess that the modem is ok.

using the *#*#4636#*#* in telephone settings I changed the "prefered network type" from "WCDMA prefered" to GSM/WCDMA (PRL) but it really doesn't change, going back and forward in this menu the systeam changes to "WCDMA prefered" by it own. I can change it to "GSM only" and "WCDMA only", but it only works with EDGE when It is in "GSM only" and not HSPA ( putting my sim card into the old I9000B the HSPA works like a charm, and it used to work in the 4.0.2 version before the flash), when it is in "WCDMA only" it doesn't connect at all ( grey signal bars).

And I didn't locked the bootloader of flashed the IMM76I radio.

If the problem is the radio that I didn't flashed, the procedure is just this one:

- fastboot devices ( to check if it is there)

- fastboot flash radio radio-maguro-i9250xxla02.img

- fastboot erase cache

- fastboot reboot

If the problem isn't the radio, anyone have any clues about what I must do to fix this?

My galaxy Nexus was a south american one, called usually Galaxy X, it was in the 4.0.2 version of the android, the baseband is the XXLA2.

This guy here uploaded the baseband of Brazilian Gnex: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23705472&postcount=1

-----------------

just some news, I flashed the maguro radio that came with the IMM76I and the problem persists, "GSM ONLY" just works EDGE, "WCDMA PREFERED" and "WCDMA ONLY" doesn't work at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
@sinistr0 I have no idea what could be your problem. I have heard that some individuals have signal drops on 4.0.4, but other than that, I've never seen your problem.

I guess you could try reflashing all the images (bootloader, radio, system, boot, userdata) in case something got corrupt, but I don't have any other suggestions.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sinistr0:
Hello and thanks for the answer, after flashing the radio I think my carrier went down, the 3g wasn't working in my dad smartphone nor in the S2 that belongs to my sister. I left the nex in my desk with data on and when I woke up it was working. Despite the lact of signal until I turn the screen on, I think that everything is fine now.

The solution was flashing the radio.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KingVaroon:
Hi,

Im trying to uninstall the "SAMSUNG android ADB interface" driver and install the "samsung galaxy nexus ADB interface" in its place. I followed the steps in the first post properly, uninstalled and deleted all previous drivers, turned on my phone in bootloader mode and installed the "Samsung galaxy nexus bootloader interface" successfully. However, when I reboot my phone and laptop and plug my phone back in to try and install "Samsung galaxy nexus ADB interface", windows automatically installs the android ADB interface. I tried uninstalling it again, turned off my wifi and then tried installing the galaxy nexus ADB interface, however, it still automatically installs the android ADB interface before I can do anything.

When I turn on my phone in bootloader mode, open command prompt and type in "fastboot devices", I get a message saying "'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." However, when I go to device manager, it shows the bootloader interface is instaled properly. I'm starting to think the reason command won't recognize fastboot is because of the android ADB.

PLEASE HELP! I've been trying to yakju this phone for months now!

EDIT: I already tried going to 1wayjonny's thread and asking for help however I am not allowed to post there, which is why I'm asking here. Thanks.

upgrading to android 4.3 on a rooted Gnex

Hi Efrant

My Samsung galaxy nexus (i9250) is rooted and is running on JB 4.1.1. The build is yakjujp. I would like to have it updated to JB 4.3. I have read in the forums on how to convert to yakju, and obtain the updates from Google.

As my phone is already rooted the boot loader is unlocked. Do I still require to wipe the data off ?

Would like to know the easiest way then to upgrade to JB 4.3 without loosing any data.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Natakranta:
Hi. If you have the bootloader already opened and fastboot drivers working fine on your PC, the easiest in my opinion would be to just flash latest factory image (link in my signature) as described in OP. Then just fastboot boot customrecovery.IMG and flash root.zip in it. Done :)

Edit:

If you don't want to lose your settings and apps you can try with dirty flash - pass the step D

10) - do not flash userdata.img, I did it coming from 4.2.2 to 4.3. I'm not sure if it be fine for jumping from 4.1 to 4.3.

I'd give it a try. In warst case you will just have to clean flash 4.3 with all the steps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
As natakranta said, follow the steps in the first lost but skip D10. It should keep all your data and apps, but always do a backup just in case.

update without rooting?

I am using nexus i9250 (yakjujp) JR003C build on magaro device GSM/HSPA+. By Bootloader is locked. And i want to upgrade to yakju(JR..) from google. Can i update it?

If yes, is it allowed without rooting my device as my corporate mail is blocked on rooted devices. Can i update without rooting?

Post updation, will I get OTA updates directly from google?

yes you can

no need for rooting to update your build.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
you follow the entire first post. you should read more.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lekan Adeyeri:
worked on nexus q

worked on nexus q just install nexus files and skip radio parts, and this was the tricky part: turn power off or unplug the Q, turn power on, then literally as soon as you see the center blue LED go on, put your palm on it (you only have about a second or less to do this, otherwise you miss it and need to power off and on again), hold your palm until the ring lights up solid red. Remove palm, and it stays solid red. Now you are in fastboot mode.

then follow tutorial.

Guys, i need help.

i did all steps from

A. Install de drivers

C. Download the required files to your computer and extract them

D. Type in the commands into the command prompt (steps 1, 2, 3 ,4, 9 ,10 ,11,13 and 15)

After that my phone stays in the Google logo screen (unlocked) and stays there forever.

I tried to Reboot into bootloader mode, the computer recognizes the phone (device manager says "bootloader interface") but when i send any command in command prompt it says "waiting for device" and nothing happens.

What should i do? I searched the topic, but foound nothing.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Why did you skip steps 5-8 and 12?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jackuphill:
SGnex yakjujp 4.1.1 to 4.3

Thanks for the inputs. Finally moved on from 4.1.1. to 4.3. However I had to flash twice as I had skipped step "D10" and the phone went to a boot loop. I used the CWM recovery to wipe the data and was able to get out of the boot loop but failed to root the device as super SU gave error of missing binary.

Hence flashed for the second time including step D10 and this time everything went ok.;)

I was able to restore almost all the applications with Titanium bk, except for the app "PGM free" (which is now "Touchcontrol") as the new kernel does not support " the wake2slide".

Would be delighted if I could get that to work.

Also is there any way the Google Hangouts can be replaced with Gtalk ?

Hi there! Your guide is great so far however I seemed to have encountered an issue.

I followed every step up until the reboot, and it seems my phone is stuck in an infinite loop with the little RBGY spheres. I have a Nexus 4.

Is there something I may have missed? I'm pretty sure I followed all the steps, and I don't know if I have to do this whole process again. :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Try booting into recovery and wiping /cache, then reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] creepyslime:
I hooked up the device, open the prompt and typed in "fasboot erase cache". The system asked "Did you mean to fastboot format this partition?", and then proceeded to erase 'cache'. I rebooted it now and am going to check in about half an hour and see if it's hopefully not stuck in a loop.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
You can also try fastboot format cache
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] creepyslime:
Thank you! This worked like a charm :good:

Hi.

I think I'm stuck in Google screen after flashing Galaxing Nexus 4.3 Maguro factory.

I had the bootloader unlocked previously so I skipped all of those.

I followed these commands.

My previous working GNex was on 4.0.4. Rooted and with custom recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Reboot into the bootloader and type: fastboot format cache
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lazydognet:
Thank you for the info on how to get back to stock...It was a big help!

LDN
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] z_extend_99:
Thanks. I just had my GNex working again. So the fastboot erase cache and fastboot format cache are two different commands?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Yes, they are different. It seems like more people are having luck with the format command versus the erase command (at least that is the case for the N4 and N5 devices). I'll update the first post at some point.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samersh72:
did you unlock bootloader before flashing?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ac1680:
thank you for your reply, Yes, I did unlock bootloader first. then try re-lock it didn't work either . Was using Galaxy Nexus Tool kits. Now when turn on only stay on Google logo and fastboot,odin mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samersh72:
you can not flash with fastboot command if your bootloader is locked

dont use toolkit

follow OP of this thread for flashing your device
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ac1680:
Yes, I did flash with un-locked bootloader. Did it with toolkit at first didn't work then try with this from OP didn't work either. Only can go into fastboot mode. got error message like:

-sending....-ok-writing....-failed(remote-write fail)-finish

other error: sending yakju...-ok-writing yakju.....-failed(remote:unknow partition)-finished
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Natakranta:
When you in bootloader mode, do you see on the bottom of the screen:

Bootloader unlocked: yes

If so type in cmd window: fastboot devices

What's the response?

When you are in bootloader screen use volume buttons to choose recovery as an option and press power button to confirm your selection.

You should enter recovery. What recovery do you have? Stock? CWM? TWRP?

Use volume buttons to navigate and power button to select. Perform factory reset. Reboot and check if system is booting.

Report back with results.

Gnex stuck in the loop of death

Hello,

My Gnex decided to softbrick on me. I had a Google Track - a google app running, it suddenly hung leaving me no choice but to battery pull. When I did that, it ended up going into a boot loop. Found this super tutorial.

I followed every line of this tutorial. Everything seems to work. All commands execute and return success messages. But when I try to reboot, it is still stuck in a boot loop. Tried going to recovery mode and erasing all data - still no luck! It will try to boot, show me the nexus logo, go about 7 seconds into the nexus logo and then reboot again!

Any suggestions or help is greatly appreciated to fix this. I have gone through almost every relevant post on this topic and tried tons of stuff before posting this.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samersh72:
repeat flashing first boot then system then userdata, erase cache, boot into recovery , wipe, reboot

if not, i guess it is a hardware failure
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chaitukash:
Still doesn't work

Thanks samersh. Tried what you suggested. Still doesn't work. I had kept an ODIN flash as my last resort. Resorting to that right now. If this doesn't work, I am going to turn it into Samsung for repair. Yes, I am thinking this could be a hardware issue too.

Thanks again for your quick response.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] z_extend_99:
Hoping it's not a hardware issue, you can try msskip's Gnex toolkit. I'm not really a fan of toolkits as I prefer manual flashing, his toolkit is pretty a solid one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chaitukash:
@z_extend

Thank you for your reply. I did try the Wugfresh toolikt and ODIN. Still same, stuck in boot loop. Sure, will give this toolkit a try too. But it does look like a hardware issue. Another problem I have is that Gnex was not sold officially where i currently live and Samsung Service may not accept my device. Does anybody here have an idea what hardware component might be broken for the phone to be stuck in a boot loop?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] z_extend_99:
I honestly know a little when it comes to the hardware. On the other hand, I think Samsung Service will still accept it. Warranty may not apply, but they might still accept it. Gnex was not officially sold from where I live, but I heard some people that Samsung Service centers accept repairs for it. They still even sell official batteries.

Does anyone know how to mend this?

So VZW Galaxy Nexus (toro)

Please note: no cell signal is shown at all when phone gets into a set-up menu

GNex wouldn't boot past the Google and Nexus logo. I booted into recovery, and factory reset. It booted to the start menu. Start setting up phone, it freezes and reboots after a few clicks. Repeat.

Unlock bootloader via fastboot, wipe and install stock Nexus image via fastboot. Followed everything to a tee. Notice that writing to userdata failed!

Try another. older, stock image. Writing to userdata still fails. Still the same rebooting symptoms.

Flashed ClockworkMod recovery via fastboot.

Wiped all mounts and storage, sideloaded CM11 via adb, boots into start-up menus, freezes after a click or two. Reboots.

I also noticed things like the gallery would force close/close right when the phone booted into the set-up menus. Not sure if this is necessary information or helpful to help fix what the problem is.

How can I fix this or is it screwed?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Try flashing the stock images again, but instead of flashing the userdata image, try: fastboot format userdata
