if you don't have adb and fastboot installed in your computer, download this file and extract it. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/53155491/adb_fastboot_and_other_tools.zip
download the original Google image from here: http://code.google.com/intl/pt-BR/android/nexus/images.html
if you downloaded yakju-icl53f image, extract with 7zip and you shoud see a .TAR file. Extract it again with 7zip and you should see bootloader-maguro-primekk15.img, radio-maguro-i9250xxkk6.img and image-yakju-icl53f.zip.
Copy this files to adb/fastboot folder and open command prompt (SHIFT + right click – “open command prompt here”)
Reboot your device in bootloader mode and be sure fastboot is recognizing your phone with this code: fastboot devices
if you see your serial number's device, you are OK; if not, you have to install Samsung drivers properly.
then flash the images:
fastboot flash radio radio-maguro-i9250xxkk6.img
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-maguro-primekk15.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot -w update image-yakju-icl53f.zip (this command will wipe your data!)
device will reboot itself, and you should be done!

I have a problem: When it tries to write the factory image to system, it stops. Are there any solutions to that?

UK 4.0.2 update

Had this update and since cannot see any files on my sgn via pc when connected with the USB cable, just a blank page.
Anybody any ideas!!!!

Have you tried just removing the battery and then booting it up again to make sure its all fully loaded to the new rom.
Also Are you using windows - if not this may be the problem.

force update it!

[Q] Flashing takju AOSP IMM76I

Hello,
Couldn't find a particular post for this, so I'm asking.
How do we flash an image coming directly from Google? Is it simply a matter of going into the Bootloader and then...
Code:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-maguro-primela03.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-maguro-i9250xxla02.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot reboot
I read somewhere it's always better to reboot between flashing different partitions, is it true?
Thanks!

Read any of the current guides for yakju. The process is the exact same (takju is 99.99% the same) as flashing any other build. Yes its advised to reboot-bootloader.

[Q] Bricked Galaxy Nexus GSM 4.1.1

I was trying to update my Galaxy Nexus GSM 4.1.1 but I did something wrong and now its not booting.
The bootloader was unlocked using fastboot. Then I am not sure what command I used, it was either "fastboot boot boot.img" or "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and now the phone won't start. Any suggestions?

As you are describing adb commands I assume you know at least half the stuff you need to know for manual flashing. If you used the factory image, aka "takju-jop40c-factory-1a47c890.tgz" and unpacked the contents, you need to follow the steps inside "flash-all.sh" - which are as follows:
While in bootloader, type:
Code:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-maguro-primelc03.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-maguro-i9250xxlh1.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot -w update image-takju-jop40c.zip
This, of course, only applies for the respective update above.

Solution
Thank you for the help but I was able to figure it out after some googling.
I wrote a short guide that will help anyone else that has a problem.

Help restoring to stock image, after trying to install copperhead os

Hi all,
I'm sorry to ask this question, but I'm really struggling to get my Nexus 5X to boot into stock rom. The install seems to go ok, but there was error when flashing.. See below...
archive does not contain 'boot.sig'
archive does not contain 'dtbo.img'
archive does not contain 'dt.img'
The phone now boots to the google boot logo, then loops back to either the "Unlocked Bootloader" or the Custom OS message. (depending on the locked state of the bootloader)
I cannot get into recovery, as the phone just loops back as described above when selecting it from the bootloader option.
Can anyone advise me on how to restore the phone back to stock os. I've tried flashing version 7.1.2 8.0.0 and 8.1.0, using either the flash-all.bat or manually typing the commands. I'm 110% sure this is not to do with over heating on CPU/RAM, I have another nexus 5x that has the bootloop of death and it's bootloop is very different from what I'm seeing on this Nexus 5x.
Thanks in advance

First, the .sig errors are normal so you can ignore those. I would make sure your booloader is unlocked then manually flash the bootloader.img. Then boot back into the bootloader. Then manually flash the remainder of the partitions. Use the 8.1.0 os.

Ok here's what I've done.
1) Downloaded bullhead-opm2.171019.029.zip from Google factory images.
2) Extracted the zip to a folder and extracted image-bullhead-opm2.171019.029.zip to the same folder to get the boot.img | system.img | vendor.img and recovery.img file. (there was no userdata.img nor cache.img within the zip, so I downloaded 7.1.1 version and extracted those files too)
3) Using SDK tools ADB /Fastboot version 1.0.38, I flashed the following:-
fastboot flash bootloader C:\bullhead\images\bootloader-bullhead-bullhead-xx.xx.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio C:\bullhead\images\radio-bullhead-bullhead-xx.xx.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash boot C:\bullhead\images\boot.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash cache C:\bullhead\images\cache.img
fastboot flash recovery C:\bullhead\images\recovery.img
fastboot flash system C:\bullhead\images\system.img
fastboot flash vendor C:\bullhead\images\vendor.img
fastboot flash userdata C:\bullhead\images\userdata.img
fastboot oem lock
Everything flashed without a problem, no error. However the phone still does not boot into the OS nor can I get it to boot into recovery mode.
I cannot understand what I am doing wrong. I think it has something to do with the installation of copperhead I tried. Does anyone know whether copperhead os restricts going back to stock rom due to its additional security features?
I'm stuck!!!
Thanks in advance.

Why don't you use the "flash-all.bat" file? I'm pretty sure you're not wiping your system partition in the process you use.

Hiya,
I have also tried using the .bat script, it leads to the same place. A phone that does not boot.
thanks in advance.

Can you boot into twrp, fastboot boot twrp.img? If you can try formatting, not wiping, the data partition. It also gives you the option to repairing some other partitions, I don't remember which ones. You could try that.
