I'm stuck at #2 and #3.
for step #2 I unzip the file and theres only one FILE. I dont get why its saying theres more then one.
for #step 3. Do I put the file on my phone? where on my phone?
Step-by-step
1) Note: this assumes that you have the drivers for your device set up properly and that you have backed up any data (e.g., photos, etc) to somewhere OFF your device;
2) Download this and unzip the files within to a directory (unzip the zip inside as well);
3) Download the attachment and extract the files into the same directory;
4) Reboot your device into bootloader mode (by turning it off, hold volume up and volume down, and press power) and plug it into your computer;
5) Open a command prompt in the same directory above and do the following:
1) Make sure your computer recognizes your device by typing: fastboot devices
2) Unlock your bootloader: fastboot oem unlock
3) You will see a prompt on your device. This will wipe your entire device (including the /sdcard folder). Accept.
4) Reboot by typing: fastboot reboot-bootloader
5) Optional -- Flash the bootloader: fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-maguro-primekk15.img
6) Reboot (not required if you did not do step 5): fastboot reboot-bootloader
7) Optional -- Flash the radio: fastboot flash radio radio-maguro-i9250xxkk6.img
8) Reboot (not required if you did not do step 7): fastboot reboot-bootloader
9) Flash the ICL53F system partition: fastboot flash system system.img
10) Flash the ICL53F data partition: fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
11) Flash the ICL53F boot partition: fastboot flash boot boot.img
12) Optional -- Flash the recovery partition: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
13) Erase the cache partition: fastboot erase cache
15) Reboot: fastboot reboot
16) Done!
You have to extract the .tar file inside the zip.
The files DO NOT go on your phone. They go in the same folder as your fastboot.exe is in, on your computer.

haha, i just downloaded that before u said it.
I'll let u know how things are going.
For step #3. Do I put any files on my phone?
cmd does not see my phone...
No, nothing goes on your phone.
Do you have the adb and fastboot drivers installed? If not download pdanet and run the wizard.
Also, "fastboot devices" won't show your phone unless its in fastboot.

I dont have adb or fastboot installed.
Do you have the android SDK installed? You must have that set up before you can start the flashing process. There are hundreds of tutorials around the net how to get it set up.

Relax and play with the phone first! Then read up on adb and fastboot as you'll need to know how to use them in future

I dont want to root it or flash it. I just want to this before I start playing with it because it requires a full wipe, so i rather do this real fast and have then have fun with it.

Then you need to install the sdk on your computer first. Once that is set up you can flash the yakju image.

I installed it. I have the command prompt.
First, you have to open the cmd window from the folder where fastboot and you images are. You can do that by holding down shift and right clicking within that folder. Then chose "open command window here"
Next, boot your phone into fastboot. When there type "fastboot devices" If it shows your device you are good to go. Just follow the steps you posted in your OP.

This just isn't true. If you're using the correct package, it includes ADB and Fastboot in it. No need to install the SDK. You just have to be thorough and unzip EVERYTHING in the packages on your desktop.
I think I finished it!!! How do I check if my phone is yakju now?
Oh and In the instruction I didnt install the optional ones.
for exmaple for steps
5) Optional -- Flash the bootloader: fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-maguro-primekk15.img
7) Optional -- Flash the radio: fastboot flash radio radio-maguro-i9250xxkk6.img
I did not install it, i have no idea what its for. Do I need them?
ty everyone!! really thank you guys so much

If it flashed successfully you have yakju. If you really want to check there are some apps in the market that will check for you. Or you can view the build.prop using a file manager.
If you want to get OTA updates you must flash both of those images. The first one is the bootloader and the second is your radio firmware.
The OTA package checks to see if you have the correct radio, bootloader, kernel, and rom before continuing.

Well, I guess i'll flash them now. Do I have to start from #1 and go in order or can I just flash it then restart my phone?
Hi,
Everyone talking about installing kernels, the only thing I know is to flash boot.img and install rom from recovery.
But now every new version they talking about publishing of new kernels and us to install it, I have no idea how to install kernels?
And which kernels should I pick?
My main roms is HDR and official CM10.1.
Thanks

What is prompt? Fastboot?
And I don't know to flash the modules, and wich kernel is best for me.
I need help

1) Download the kernel
2) Extract boot.img and put in folder when you have fastboot and copy the zip in sd of hox
3) Open a prompt in this folder and connect at pc the hox
4) Reboot to fastboot usb the hox
5) "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
6) "fastboot erase cache"
7) Reboot in recovery
8) Flash the modules
9) Reboot
10) Enjoy
For which is the best kernel, i think is this

What is '' flash the modules'' how do I do that?
And the kernel you recommended is fit for all roms?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Yes, that kernel is the best at moment (for me)
However, the modules as the zip then you downloaded
1. Download the 4.3 factory images for Takju from http://goo.gl/ABbAmc
2. Extract files using 7-zip on Windows (you need to extract twice and will get the files as: bootloader-xxx.img; radio-xxx.img and image-xxx.zip)
3. Copy these files to the location android-sdk/platform-tools/ (if you have the android-sdk installed or to the location where adb & fastboot is)
4. Plug in your Galaxy Nexus (ensure Debug option is enabled under Developer Settings
5. Follow these commands:
a. adb reboot bootloader
b. fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-xxx.img
c. fastboot reboot-bootloader
d. fastboot flash radio radio-xxx.img
e. fastboot reboot-bootloader
f. fastboot update image-xxx.zip
This would update your Galaxy Nexus from Stock 4.2.2 to Stock 4.3 without losing any data/apps
Note:
1. If you using Windows follow the video tutorial to setup adb and fastboot http://goo.gl/jGcic
2. If you are on Mac, use ./ before the commands for execution
Note 2: With this method you don't need to remove the userdata.img as the command "fastboot update image-xxx.zip" does not touch the userdata on your device.
*Disclaimer: I have followed the above to the T and moved from Stock 4.2.2 to Stock 4.3 with Unlocked Bootloader, but you follow these at your own risk.
I have lost my data.

If you follow the steps as they are apps/data stays intact.... Unless you had a locked Bootloader. Unlocking the bootloader formats the complete storage. Else the command to remove the complete userdata partition is : fastboot update -w image-xxx.zip

Or do i need to be on adb sideload mode?

Flashed it with Mobile ODIN
I flashed it with Chainfire's MobileODIN. No problems with updating to 4.3 but lost root (everoot in Odin would not stick). Wiped data is not an issue as I backed it up. Will same root method as before work? Or do I need to wait for new method?

Root is finally available for 4.3 by Chainfire...
Download from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053

It could be due to corrupt adb/fastboot files. Try downloading a minimal packaged adb/fastboot from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42407269 and see if that helps. I don't have a windows machine to test it... but i have used something similar on mac too

Few more questions:
1. Is your bootloader Locked (do you see a lock under Google when you turn your phone On)
2. Under Settings>Developer options> USB Debugging (do you see a check mark)
3. Have use used adb/fastboot before
4. Share a large screen shot for proper view.
