i need to return to stock 4.3 and im on Unofficial Cm 11 Nightly 4.4

can i flash this in recovery(clockwork) and return to stock?

or is there anything else i need to do?

thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sik-1:
Yes you sure can
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sirxdroid:
The alternative is to just flash the stock recovery image 4.2.1 and then let it upgrade to 4.3 if you want to have pure stock as this ROM included Busybox. Also, you may need to flash the latest radios too if you don't already have them and just go with this ROM (the OTA upgrade to 4.3 will get you to the latest radios).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ep3n3wp:
Thanks... I think I might go this route... Now to go find it... Lol

Isnt it on sprints support page?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sirxdroid:
Look for "toroplus" on this page, you want 4.2.1 (GA02):

https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#mysidspr

And then after it boots and it has an internet connection (wifi recommended) check for updates and it should update you to 4.3
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ep3n3wp:
Thanks for helping out..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jean15paul:
Would you loose root if you go this route?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sirxdroid:
Yes but it's as easy as flashing SuperSU to get it back. You'd need a custom recovery like TWRP of course. The Nexus devices are very easy to work with, root hasn't been a problem thus far.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jean15paul:
Understood. But I just thought it was something worth pointing out. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jeffreynothing43:
I just got a new Gnex. My last one hit the cement and died. My question is.... I was straying away from using Kit Kat roms because often times I would lose my data connection and would have to toggle it to come back on. It LOOKED like it was connected but it wasn't. Anyhow, I thought this was cause of some of the beta KK roms. Well, I am running Sprint rooted 4.3 right now to make sure the phone behaves before I commit to it and it is doing the same thing. It can't be phone related since it happened on two devices. It happens while in 4G.

Any thoughts?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] a2f:
Same issue here. I installed the CM 11 nightly and I haven't had that problem since.

No idea what causes it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jeffreynothing43:
So you are still using CM11, or you installed it and then things were fine? Sorry... Also, I would take that issue to Sprint but it would be a losing battle. I'd have to have one of the reps get in a car with me after I unrooted the phone, hard reset it, and then drive around town. Seems messed up that would be happening on a stock rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chevlar:
Yah, buggy 3g/4g handoffs are a problem on the stock 4.3 update. It's not a problem specific to your replacement device. Cm 11 radio is better, as is cm 10.2.0 (if you aren't into night lies)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jeffreynothing43:
Well, that's good to know. Thank you. That just saved me the hassle of unrooting my phone and dealing with a Sprint repair center. God, I hate those places. It's like newb hell.

"Did you hard reset your phone? It's because of that app"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] churka:
Tell me about it!!!!!! This is unbelievable.

I just got back from a Sprint store and they spent an hour on my phone refreshing the profile and other useless stuff. At the end, I even showed the guy I had no data in front of him and the only two options he gave me was to contact Samsung or pay $75 for ANOTHER Galaxy Nexus. He was a great guy and tried to help, but Sprint needs to do something about this.

In the meantime, how can I pull the radio from the custom roms that have done better than Sprint in updating this phone?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lambofgod13:
No one puts radios in their roms, in stickies there a forum with all the sprint radios you can get them from there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] churka:
Then what did chevlar mean by CM 11 radio is better?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lambofgod13:
No clue, i don't know any one who puts radios in their rom. He might mean the data set up cm has as in apn's and so on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] churka:
Oh ok, anyway to get that set up on this stock rom?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lambofgod13:
What radio are you on? Look in settings.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] churka:
Baseband version: L700.05 V.FC12 / L700.FC12

So FC12?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lambofgod13:
Yeah it's time to update your radio. down load and install in recovery, the GA02 radio is the radio and lte in one zip.

Sprint Radio Collection
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] churka:
I guess so. It doesn't get updated with flashing this ROM? Or maybe the Sprint employee changed it?

Which one is the most recent/best from your experience?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lambofgod13:
You'll find the zip located in the xda down load folder on your sd, move the ga02 zip to root of sd then flash it in recovery.

My bad down load GJ04 zip.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] churka:
Oh haha. Already flashed the GA02 zip. I'll go ahead and flash GJ04.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lambofgod13:
Well some claim you should upgrade in order, i never have but it can't hurt. Let me know if it fixes your data issue, update prl and profile after reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] churka:
Alright cool. I'll return with results in a few days.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zeinzu:
Did you update to 4.3 using the OTA package first, before loading this ROM?

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jeffreynothing43:
Yes. But I have this problem with every 4.3 and KK Rom out there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chevlar:
What I meant by "better radio" was that in CM 11, I have not had to do nearly as much toggling of airplane mode to restore cellular data after it is lost in a bad 3G/4G handoff. I'm on the most recent basebands. My comment was intended as a response to someone who was wondering if they should attempt a second RMA of a sprint toroplus that repeatedly lost data connection. As far as I know, though, loss of data during 3G/4G handoff remains a known issue on stock with latest basebands. I would be thrilled if someone could tell me otherwise / workaround.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lambofgod13:
Nope the date issue seems to be on most gnex on Sprint that i hear of. Since the 4.3 update is when it started and it would be nice if sprint would address this issue with a radio update.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zeinzu:
I have no issues.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jean15paul:
On Sprint? How? Running something magical? Always on LTE or 3G, so no hand-offs? I'll trade phones with you. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] churka:
It is running A LOT better than before. Significantly. Haven't had a data loss yet. At least I didn't realize one. Thank you!

EDIT: Data is dropping once again. Wow.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] themirrorstruth:
Anyone testing kernels or all using stock?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] savoca:
Leankernel is perfect for me but then again it works on almost anything.

Installing it next. Awesome job putting this together. Much Thanks and appreciation! Super stable. LTE is awesome. No data issues. Would love to see one without all the Google blah.....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kdog350:
If I have a custom recovery but I want to go to a backup of a 4.2.1 stock rom and then flash stock 4.3, which zip file should i download?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] savoca:
This one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lambofgod13:
They took expandable volume option out of 4.3?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 94SupraTT:
Thank you very much OP!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesusice:
That was never a stock option, only on custom ROMs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tomh1979:
Try downloading the English language update under Google now>settings>voice>offline voice recognition, once that done change your language to UK English and do a search, then go back and change to US English and do a search again, that should fix it, but granted mine doesn't always show the"say OK Google", but it'll respond still when I say it, really love this feature.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jaredstein21:
Did anyone else's radios update my baseband version still says GA02 and I thought they switched to GJ04. I'm having problems with Wi-Fi. I'm connected, bars are blue but nothing works.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JustinXu:
same here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jaredstein21:
Same on what? radios, Wi-Fi, or both.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] savoca:
You'll have to flash the GJ04 Radios separately, found here. I can't include the radios within the ROM or you'd get them re-flashed every time you went back to this ROM, which would be redundant.

Also flashing new radios has no effect on WiFi, only CDMA/LTE.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jaredstein21:
OK thanks. Restarting fixed it but don't want to continuously do that. Just wondering if anyone else has had same problems.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MonstaDriva:
I just flashed the original release zip through twrp , the 155 meg file on one Nexus . Radio updated , kept root and recovery but I was on stock rooted GA02 . Works great . On the other Nexus I flashed this rom that Savoca posted and updated the radio and it worked fine too .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Comet1966:
I have USB issues, is there any way someone can make this pre-rooted, and flashable in the stock recovery via the "apply update.zip" feature?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CRIME INC.:
Dude, I forgot how smooth stock was. Loving this
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] savoca:
The WiFi issue might be related to a custom kernel if you have one installed, or your home network configuration. I can't find any issues with WiFi within the ROM.

What are your USB issues? If you can't move the files you could try sideloading them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vincentallen2:
Has anyone found a sprint native wifi tethering fix for 4.3? Or a hotspot app that works?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tomh1979:
This would be nice.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JustinXu:
my wifi don't work too,with GJ04.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MonstaDriva:
I know this doesn't help other than to give an affiramation of two techniques to put it on 2 different phones and both are working perfect on both wifi and the radio . I live so far out on the fringe we normally have to keep the phones in a window to get a shred of signal . Since this upgrade both phones can now get the signal further into the house . Have you only flashed and restarted or have you actually powered down and restarted ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Comet1966:
Issues like it doesn't charge sometimes, I can't get it to mount so I can root it, and unlock the boot loader. Just stuff like that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] savoca:
If you've never rooted/unlocked your bootloader then you're probably on 4.2.1, in that case you can either wait for the OTA or download this and rename it to update.zip.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Comet1966:
Well, I was wanting to be capable of using the update.zip feature on the stock recovery to flash the 4.3 ota update pre-rooted, then use the boot loader unlocker app that requires root to get that done. But I didn't see an "apply update.zip" feature in it. Also, I'm not sure how to import the root into the ota.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] savoca:
You might have to look elsewhere for the time being or maybe another update.zip you can use to root your current ROM. I'm sorry but I'm building 4.4 now and focusing on that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ebtek220:
I had the same issue with 4g not working and the bars were blue. A quick toggle of airplane mode fixed it. It happened twice. I have the new radios flashed. Not sure why or how it happens. My WiFi is working without issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Comet1966:
Well, if I rename the supersu zip to update.zip, and attempt to flash it, how would I? There is only a install update from adb, and install update from USB.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] savoca:
You could use a file explorer from the market to rename it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Comet1966:
I mean how could I flash it with my USB issues?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] savoca:
An update.zip? Use a file explorer to put it on the root of your sdcard then reboot recovery and apply update.zip
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Comet1966:
There isn't one that says apply update.zip there are only the adb, and USB options.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MizzouBrent:
I can't wait for some 4.4
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] robbyyyyyyy:
I renamed the file to update.zip and i cant seem to flash this. it is in the root of my sd card. both choose zip to install and apply sdcard/update.zip yield an error. im trying to update from stock 4.2.1 rom to 4.3. help please and thanks

I've had that issue with all roms, stock, etc. I just chalk it up to an issue with this phone or sprint in my area.

for the apply update.zip i got

Installing update...

and for the choose zip from sd card i was getting an installation aborted error.

In hidnsight this doesnt matter now as i just wiped data and flashed the 326mb file and used astro and google backup to restore my settings.

Still having issues. Every time my phone switches from 3g-4g it looks like I should have data, bars are blue, but I do not have data. I reflashed the ROM, su and the radios in CWM this morning and the problem still persists. Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CRIME INC.:
Only issue I've run across is, I have to toggle airplane mode once, or twice a day to get data back. Not a ROM issue I'm sure, but a radio issue
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Watcher07:
Funny thing, I unrooted and flashed back to stock 4.2.1 then adb sideloaded the official 4.3 update. Having switching issues with it and thought it was just me. Checked out the official Sprint forums and several people there are also having issues, looks like the switching bug might be present in the official update.

The custom ROM community seems to have made better progress on fixing this than Sprint, if it proves true, not sure if it will be funny or sad.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] savoca:
Leave it to Sprint. They should fork code from CM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CRIME INC.:
Now we wait and see if sprint does anything about this...........................................................
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ebtek220:
Wow, you've got to be kidding me. Thanks for looking into this and letting us know. Anyone have suggestions on which current 4.3 rom works the best?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lambofgod13:
Wrong, it's stock 4.3
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesusice:
Yeah, no it's not. Nor are the notification and ringtone volumes separate.

EDIT: You appear to be using a N7. I don't own one myself, but I'm pretty sure stock Android on a tablet doesn't have an option for ringer volume..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lambofgod13:
Ok that's a screen shot from my stock nexus 7 on 4.3 i guess I'm just imagining it shows up on my stock screen. Lol I've been on stock 4.3 for well over 3 months on my nexus 7.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lambofgod13:
Coincidence?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lambofgod13:
If you have Skype installed it puts ringer volume in as a sound control. Understand now? It's stock bro always has been on 4.3 but then again what would i know I've only had a nexus 7 for a year and I've been on 4.3 for months now but i guess you'd know better just to try to prove me wrong. all i asked was a simple question as to why expandable volumes is not in the gnex 4.3 stock rom when in all reality it should be cause if my tablet has it and it's 4.3 stock what would be the difference in why Google would have left it out in a phone which would seem to me be more useful in the phone as an option, no need to try to start with me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tomh1979:
I can't even get the update to install on my wife's completely untouched Gnex, it'll start the download, switch to stock recovery to install, then 1/3rd of the way of the install it'll stop on the android with the dreaded red triangle, and just says error, few minutes later it'll reboot back to 4.2.1, she refuses to let me handle the situation by rooting her device, loll.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] savoca:
Well on the bright side of things 4.4 is about 75% done. Don't expect sensors or camera to work in the first build, probably more will be broken but this is what I can confirm for the very first release.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jean15paul:
I'm rooted with a custom recovery, running 4.2.1 stock. Is this the file I should flash (dirty flash right) to get to 4.3? Will I lose my data?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] savoca:
Yes flash, no you will not loose data, but nandroid as always.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jean15paul:
Thanks. I've been rooting and flashing custom ROMs for a while, but this is my first experience running a rooted stock ROM. Feeling like a noob again.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jean15paul:
Hey. I flashed the update. Data and custom recovery were unaffected, but I did loose root. I tried reflashing the root binaries that I have (CWM-SuperSU-v0.98.zip), but it didn't work. Any idea what I need to do? Could it be that I need the latest version of TWRP? (I have TWRP 2.5, but I see they are on 2.6.) Or could I need newer SU binaries?

Also, I was surprised to see that the update included the new the radios. I thought I read in this thread that those would have to be flashed separately (that might have been referring to the full ROM not the update). But I wanted to update the radios anyway, so I'm not complaining.

Savoca, thanks again for creating and posting these, and thanks to everyone for answering my questions.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] savoca:
No problem! For root flash the SuperSU zip I linked in the OP.

You were correct about the radio being included in the update file, that file is the actual Sprint OTA 4.2.1>4.3 so it would have to include radio.

The full ROM is just Sprint Official 4.3 packaged together.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jean15paul:
Duh, "check the OP"

smh, apparently I've become

Thanks again. Worked perfectly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jean15paul:
For my continued learning... Could I have accepted the OTA? I've always read that if you're rooted then you shouldn't accept an OTA, but if what I flashed was the same thing, would there be a difference?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jean15paul:
I was able to successfully flash the 4.2.1 > 4.3 update with TWRP 2.5. But the changelog for 2.6.x has some specific comments about Android 4.3 compatibility, "Update SuperSU install for 4.3 ROMs" & "Merge all recent patches from AOSP bringing TWRP up to date with Android 4.3". I'm not smart enough to know exact what the implication of those are, but if you're having problems it makes sense to me to update TWRP.
