Canadian Nexus Thread (Discussion/Q&A) - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hey guys, I though it would be a good idea to have a dedicated thread for us Canadian Nexus owners.
Bootloader key combo: Vol up/down + power
Model Number: I9250M
Build: yakjuux
Latest Baseband and Build No: I9250UGKL1 (ITL41F)

Why? We all use the same radios and the same unlock commands and everything..

That's true but sometimes there are specific carrier/region questions and instead of starting a new thread and adding to clutter, it can be asked here instead.

Does anyone want to post what their usual modem speeds are like for their location, their carrier, their current radio, and current ROM? That might be interesting to read and get an idea of what people are getting and where!
Today, at 3:30pm -- 4.42Mbps down / 2.64Mbps up
Location: St. Thomas, Ontario
ROM: bigxie 4.0.3 v5
Baseband: UGKL1
Carrier: Bell

4622 kbps down, 3762 kbps up seems the best I can do in my house atm (GTA, ON)
Eagleblood v1.3 (4.0.3) UGKL1

Dec 26, at 4:55pm -- 5.71Mbps down / 0.89Mbps up
Carrier: Wind
Location: Bowmanville, Ontario
ROM: MoDaCo 23 Dec Ir8 Kitchen Build
Baseband: UGKL1

If anything there seem to be a lot of defects from regions and as a buyer, I want to know where to buy my nexus. Currently as of January 1 I can buy from wireless etc. A virgin or bell with no contract. Then play and return if defective to get another... keep this forum alive!

[Q] 4.0.1 to 4.0.4? Engineering model

Hello,
I am new to the Galaxy Nexus and 4.0. I traded for a Nexus and it appears to be a unlocked engineering model currently running 4.0.1
I flashed the newest version of clockwork recovery on and see that the new 4.0.4 for GSM was released today. I am reading a lot of back and forth regarding the compatibility of the release so I figured I would check here before I dig in.
Am I able to simply put the 4.0.4 GSM release on my SD and wipe/flash using Clockwork install from zip? or is there something I am missing.
I don't care about losing all my data. I would appreciate any help guys!

the 4.0.4 OTA is a upgrade from 4.0.2. you need 4.0.2 as a prequisite and its for "yakju" devices, verify if your device is 'yakju' it says Galaxy Nexus but 'yakjuxw' has Galaxy Nexus.

thanks for the quick reply. Where do I find if this is YAKJU or not, bootloader?

re-read my post.. i included a link to a app that tells you how to find out.
edit: lol you insulted yourself
Looks like I am on yakjuux. Am I able to move to jakju 4.0.2 and then update to 4.0.4?
Sorry for the back and forth I just need to get the various version straight before I start going crazy flashing

Would you mind doing a couple of things before you flash anything please?
1) Could you check the version of your bootloader? Reboot into the bootloader and read it from there. If you have an engineering version, I'd REALLY appreciate a dump before you flash anything over it.
2) Could you dump your radio? If you don't know how to do it, I can guide you through it. You need root.
We haven't been able to get ahold of any engineering bootloaders/radios yet, and it seems you lucked out.
It would be very much appreciated!!! Thanks.
Any news? Can you dump your radio and bootloader for us?

That's a ROM project page, so there won't be any RADIO's there...
If I were you, I'd try the corresponding GNex development subforum and their RADIO stickies, like this one.
But if you're on XXLA02, keep in mind that it's the latest official GNex radio image
and do a search, don't aggravate mods

after downlaod cwm-radio-i9250-xxkk6.zip, it is just copy to GN and install with cwm --> select install zip file, do I need wipe clean after compiled install ?
XXKK6
- Standard European baseband
- Originally from the yakju ICL53F factory image and the OTA update (ICL53F from ITL41F)
ICL53F is for CDMA/LTE, but I am using GSM version !!!!!!! where can I get the XXKK6 for GSM version
There's a bug in the AOKP M5 kernel which causes data drops. Flash Franco M3 for a temporary fix.
android baseband file don't have CDMA and GSM version ! so doesn't matter which phone are you install with ?

[Q] WTF? confused about buildnumber?

so i just got my gnex yesterday and i would like to root unlock and flash cwm and so on... i bought it from finland sim free on regular store. but now toolkit v7.2 says choose build i have android 4.0.4 IMM76K? cant find it on on regular gsm list (wich i think this is the gsm model) but on verizon lte list there is 4.0.4 IMM76k? how shouldi root my phone flash cm etc
Don't use a toolkit. Do it manually in fast boot.
Imm76k is a non-yakju/takju build.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I live in Finland so i bought galaxy nexus from Finland!
In Finland Galaxy Nexus is GSM "YAKJUXW" 4.0.1 with XXKK1 baseband and it updates it to 4.0.2 baseband radio is then XXKK6 and then to 4.0.4 IMM76I or what it was (ofc. still yakjuxw build but only newer)..
also I don't use toolkit to unlock bootloader or to root my Galaxy Nexus, I use fastboot which is better to understand sometimes.....
Edit: 4.0.4 IMM76K is for Yakjuxw, not IMM76I..

There was no IMM76I update for yakjuxw. It was IMM76K, like almost all of the other non-yakju/non-takju builds.

[Q] best baseband for WIND galaxy nexus jelly bean

Hi
Upgraded to Jelly Bean 4.1.2 using Wugfresh's excellent Toolkit.
Stock baseband that came with the Wind GNex was Android 4.1.1 running UGLH1. After upgrading to 4.1.2 Stock Yakju build, the baseband changes to XXFL1 - which i assume is the same version as ICS.
So far seems reception is fine. Mostly in Toronto North York area I receive 3 bars signal and switching frequently between 3g/HSPA+.
Wondering from fellow Canadian WIND / AWS users if they have experienced any issues using XXFL1 radio baseband on Jelly bean 4.1 or what the best radio to flash is ?
cheers
Mike
Read through this, see what works for others on your carrier in your location. You will get many answers. You will have to test them all to find which one is BEST for YOU. No one else can answer that but you.

[Q] I got a "Galaxy SII" from Boost Mobile USA, is... this that device?

so, I got a phone (model number sph-d710bst) from the Boost Mobile USA carrier. It's marketed simply as the "Samsung Galaxy S II on Boost", but apparently this phone goes by many names (Samsung Galaxy SII, Sprint Epic 4G Touch, Samsung Epic 4G Touch, Epic 4g, etc...). Basically, it runs on the Sprint 4G (not LTE) network because Boost is owned by Sprint, and it calls itself sph-d710bst.
Long story short, the stock rom on this thing sucks. The UI is atrocious, it has some USB connectivity issues, and it won't let me permanently suppress it's constant demand to be OTA updated (I can't accept because it will probably remove my ability to root).
So, I wanted to get cyanogenmod, or another good rom that has root, on here. What's the best way to go about it? Does root exist for this device? Is this even the right forum for this device?

you can root using cf-auto root on all stock roms, with the possible exception of FL24. In that scenario, you just Odin an older prerooted rom. In short, there is no reason to deny the OTA.
What firmware are you currently on?

oh, so the OTA doesn't remove the root exploits? that's good.
As for the firmware version, I'm not sure. I haven't rooted or otherwise modified this device yet, I just got it from the Boost Mobile store. (Boost is owned by Sprint and is a no-contract way to get Sprint service). Under "about phone" in settings, I have this data:

I have the version from Virgin Mobile and installed a TW JB rom (jellyverse). I can't get MMS working on it though. I switched APN settings through ##data# and still nothing is working. Does anyone know the solution for this?

does exynosabuse also unlock the bootloader so I can put cyanogenmod (or similar) on my device? The stock rom on this thing sucks.

The OTA will remove the root exploit. I am saying that rerooting is super easy with cf-auto root and you shouldn't deny the OTA based on wanting to root.
You should take the ota and then root using traditional methods.
