[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Well first off, if you're going to do it I'd just recommend you wait for the 4.1.1 image for the GSM GNex to drop. If you're really ansy, then you could flash 4.0.4 and you'll still get the OTA, but just something to think about.

Now to the question, no, you don't flash it like a ROM in CWM recovery. If you wish to completely move to yakju (or takju) to get on the Google update line (not sure why else you'd do it), you

need to flash the images via fastboot

. All parts of the images. It's important to have the proper bootloader and radio if you intend to receive and automatically install OTA updates. If you don't, you won't be able to install it as it checks for the radio and bootloader as part of the install process.

Follow this guide from Efrant, it's gold: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1626895

Don't use a toolkit!

I haven't heard about any issues with the latest 4.0.4 radio outside of isolated problems. You can change the radio if you want (via fastboot, rly quick), but as I said, it'll stop you from auto-installing OTAs (which is why you went to yakju, isn't it?). You'll also get a new radio with 4.1.1.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Matt08642:
Hmm, I might not even bother, seeing as to get the updates I'd lose CWM and root. Perhaps I will just wait for 4.1 like you said and install that.

By the way, since I am on 4.0.2 but I have CWM, does that mean even if my yakjuux build got 4.0.4 OTA, I wouldn't get notified (because of the custom recovery)??

EDIT: Say Google puts up a 4.1 image next week, I would just need to download it and follow the same steps that are outlined in that post (flashing all the different images in fastboot)?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
You can flash CWM and root it again after going to yakju, but you'll have to update manually (no auto-installing OTA) after that. You have to pull the image and flash it, and use an app like "OTA root keeper" to hold onto root.

You'll be notified, but the update won't install. It requires stock recovery to auto-install.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Matt08642:
Cool. In that case, I will just wait for JB, then once I flash that image myself, I will reflash CWM and root my phone again.

Thanks for the help, and thanks for the link to that thread!

I tried to Unlock my bootloader today using the One click - non htc dev method

and failed miserably. It didn't work and i managed to overwrite my own partitions with the ones used to unlock the bootloader. I officially have a different IMEI then i originally started with.

Having that said i plan on going into ATT tommorrow and getting it replaced under the 30 day warranty, my question now is Even though my imei is different will they still take my phone ?? Will they even Check that? Or am i Royally Screwed.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] thejosh86:
I stuffed mine up for some reason it didn't like the unlock token so I still had the spoofed partitions on my device so I had the incorrect imei and partitions and my LTE was no longer there it was like the phone didn't know it could do that.

Basically all I did was re-run it - when it's paused I changed the phone's USB connection from charge to disk drive, found the mypartitions folder on the sd card and deleted the contents and put the correct partitions that were on my pc, let it go into fastboot, rebooted the phone into android and then hit any key so it could copy back the correct ones, waited a lil while in android, the phone rebooted and I now have the right imei and my LTE connection back.

I hope that helps.

I didn't backup mypartitions at 2nd attempt and lost my original partitions:(

any chance of dumping mmcblk0p5 & mmcblk0p6 out so I can try to restore LTE?

if you want to give a shot, please use hex editor to change your own IMEI to EIEIEIEIEIEIEIE, mac to 00:11:22:33:44:55 and s/n to HTYMDWSNSNSN in both files before sending them out

These posts should be treated like Warez and deleted. Seriously suggesting that you would go to AT&T for an exchange after knowingly voiding your warranty is akin to stealing.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nerk69:
So I did the exact same thing as many others. I ran the script more then once and wiped out my IMEI number.

I have put together a fix that may help you restore some of what have been lost. This is a modification of the original script [Found Here] left us with spoofed partitions.

1. Extract this ZIP and run "backup.bat".

2. This will create a "mypartitions" folder containing your mmcblk0p4, mmcblk0p5 and mmcblk0p6

3. Use a HEX editor to modify each of these files to show the correct IMEI. In mmcblk0p6, you should also correct you SN and MAC (if you know it)

4. Run "restore.bat" to restore the modified partitions.

Free Windows Hex Editor

Files to fix the IMEI

Note: I am with AT&T and it is working with LTE. I have read that individuals with Roger's are still having LTE issues even after fixing their IMEI.

Note #2: This process will also allow to create the backup erasen1 is referring to.

Now I don't believe that this is stealing at all. He was looking for help to try and fix the problem. I ran into this problem as well and would have loved to have a fix for it but the phone I was using started to reboot randomly, hence it getting returned to AT&T. It's only a phone and software, he's not asking for way to spoof his IMEI to get services he didn't pay for, that would be stealing.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] achllles:
Exchanged is hardly stealing imo. Putting limited on so called unlimited data is.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] pablo11:
I used the attached tools to flash back my original Telstra partitions but it still give the spoof details in settings info.

Do I need to be in bootloader to do this? I get an error at the -rf command but the partitions say they have been flashed.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] pablo11:
This method worked for me. Thanks very much.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sassafras_:
And yet, the old adage couldn't be more appropriate. Two wrongs don't make it right.

Once you unlock the bootloader, you acknowledge that doing something as a direct result of said action can void your warranty. If you unlock the bootloader and then the screen dies or the speaker quits, then exchange is reasonable because you've likely suffered hardware failure unrelated to the bootloader unlock. If you unlock the bootloader, stuff the partitions, and render the device inoperable, you have voided your warranty and are not entitled to a fair exchange.

As above. Furthermore, your ad hominem attack doesn't diminish the fact that returning a phone you've willfully damaged is disingenuous at best and stealing at worst. If you threw it against the wall and then took it for exchange, should they be forced to do it?

Every one who exchanges a phone after willfully voiding their warranty and damaging it through their direct actions is costing the rest of us money. It's not fair to you, and it's not fair to me.

....

Moot point anyway, as he seems to have fixed his problem.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] achllles:
Did he throw it to a wall, damaged it to a point its unusable, and went for an exchange? Two different things imo. He fixed the problem but he probably still doesn't deserve warranty support based on your expectations.

Hey guys...

So I borked my phone doing the unlocked thing, have only just noticed it when I went into a known 4g area and did not change over...

Need to change my IMEI and serial. But I don't know how to use a hex editor!

In my posession I have an old one xl which it's imei and serial match the simtray, i've dumped these to the pc.

I've also dumped my new one xl's dead ones to the pc.

How do I change the details on the old one xl's files?

Sorry guys! HEX_noob :(
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] cr1960:
check out post 6 in this thread....

be really careful though - I bricked my first One XL doing this. got lucky and got another one under warranty.

the other thing you can do is simply upload the files from the old One XL to your device. as long as the IMEI is in the Telstra 'range' you'll get LTE.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kyl3:
Worked out how to use the hex editor.. **** not hard! duhhhh :D

Too bad we don't have the drivers yet.

[G2 and Desire Z General] kbeezie:
The main android Source isn't the problem, it's the hardware driver's thats the problem.
[G2 and Desire Z General] zung0207:
Does that mean Desire Z won't see a reasonably working version of Jelly Bean?
[G2 and Desire Z General] kbeezie:
Not for quite some time, DZ/G2 doesn't even have any official drivers for ICS yet.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Nospin:
We don't know. ICS works reasonably well as it is, and the arrival of DHD camera drivers will fix one of the only non functional aspects.

The problem with our device is ram, ICS and Jellybean are very taxing on it. Personally, I believe Jellybean will run reasonably well, with lots of dev hard work of course. Either way, JB will be the end of the road I think.
[G2 and Desire Z General] johrie:
Why not ICS is working just fine for me.. even without those drivers. Yeah sure camera doesnt work properly and some games still crash but i can live with that. JB will most likely be the same as ICS is now excrpt for project butter,i think.
[G2 and Desire Z General] kbeezie:
There's a lot more to it, and ICS could be working so much better. It's a bit too complicated to explain, think bout this, how long as the source to ICS been out and 'similar' devices had access to it? Also JB uses a completely different kernel version if I'm not mistaken.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Gaugerer:
Now that phone screen sizes such as the Note are big enough to be used in Tablet mode then it makes sense to be using the same Tablet GUI on both phones and tablets.

I am tempted to try PA on my Note to see how similar it is to ICS on the 7.7. but I don't want to lose any functionality or applications or risk bricking. I wish Samsung would offer the Note with a Tablet Mode option as that would guarantee everything works without any risk.

Flashed Paranoid yesterday for the first time and it's great. Only missing SNote and I've put most apps into phone mode because tablet mode cuts some buttons off.

I'll stay with it though because I like to have the choice and ICS is working great with this ROM.

Flashing from GB was easy and little risk involved.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Kangal:
Doesn't apply to Odin.

Odin uses its own kernel when flashing, and it will flash a custom (safe TouchWizz) kernel (GL_NOTECORE_2.15, Franco r5, or SpeedMod K3-5) without wipe.

You can then safely flash what you want from CWM.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] baz77:
I think with newer firmwares and higher dpi phones coming out in future tablet mode might be difficult to get. Enjoy it while android still supports it :-)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kailashnj:
PA is the best ROM that you can get for the N7000. It gives you a complete tablet feel and works really nice.

The most important is that its based on CM9 and hence its really safe with no brick issues if you follow the instructions on the OP correctly.

Hope to see you on PA soon.

I would recommend using an app like Titanium Backup that has the capability to freeze applications rather than deleting them, so you can play around with it and disable what you don't use or don't like.

I also recommend using the standard ICS application disabling capabilities first, then using a solution like Titanium Backup for those apps that cannot normally be disabled.

For the record, on my Verizon S3 I have roughly 30 applications frozen/disabled.
