So here's the deal. Flash my gnex with the file provided according to this link:

Now the thread specifically say "NO WIPE". But every time I flash using ODIN its wipes everything on my phone. And yes I have followed instructions to the T. My phone is unlocked and all options that are supposed to be are unchecked/checked.

If your bootloader is locked, ODIN will wipe. Just unlock your bootloader and be done with it. See link in my signature on how to flash a ROM using fastboot instead of ODIN.

Yeah. What's up with this wave of modders buying a Galaxy Nexus, wanting to do custom firmwares/ROMs, mods, etc and then out of the blue they are afraid of unlocking their bootloader?
It makes no bloody sense at all.
ODIN flashes always wipe, easier to use fastboot to flash the stock images

Only with repartition set.
You can flash kernels, radios etc without wiping just fine. Or at least that used to work fine on my SGS1.
That said, I agree about fastboot being a on overall better tool for most tasks. I see no reason to use Odin if you can do the same thing via fastboot.

Agreed. But like I said my boot loader/phone is unlocked. I don't mind fast boot was just wondering why this wipe the whole phone when it say it doesn't.

I need to send my device in for warranty. It's from rogers and when I got it, it was not yakju. Right now its unlocked, rooted, and running AOKP, and franco. To put it back to oem state, I'm planning on using Wug's toolkit. That'll flash yakju, unroot it, and lock the bootloader.
My question is whether this method will flash the factory kernel too, if it'll flash the stock recovery, and if my carrier will care/notice that I have yakju installed.
Ok so I got a backup of yakjuux. But then how do I flash this via Clockwork, unroot, flash stock recovery, and lock bootloader? Can someone point me to a thread.
If I send the device in with stock yakju, and locked bootloader, would they void my warranty. Can't I just tell em it came like that. There's no way they can prove I changed it.

Sounds right
Honestly MOST company's will honor their warranties if it is a hardware failure even with unlocked boot loader and custom recovery.

I'm assuming you downloaded my nandroid backup?
Here's what you need to do:
1) Unzip the file to a folder on your PC with the same name as the zip.
2) Place that folder on your device in /sdcard/clockworkmod/download
3) Reboot into CWM and restore the backup.
4) Using a file explorer that has root access, delete the following in order: 1) the contents of /system/xbin, 2) /system/app/Superuser.apk, 3) /system/su
5) Reboot into fastboot mode and flash the stock recovery from the yakju image (it is the same as yakjuux): fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
6) Relock the bootloader: fastboot oem lock

4 can be done on your phone. If you want to do it on a computer, boot into CWM, plug into a computer an use rm to delete the files/directory. 5 and 6 NEED to be done on a computer.
I can help more tomorrow if it is not clear. Going to bed now...

download the galaxy nexus toolkit it can do all of that automatically for you. i had to return my first gnex and it took 20mins to bring everything back to stock. it includes everything you need except the factory image and you can download from google and put in the toolkit folder and it will flash it for you.

Here lies the point of this thread. The factory image is yakju and my phone came equipped with yakjuux.
Was yours originally yakju? if not did you have issues after you sent it back?
mine was yakju from my carrier. if you got your phone from the carrier then check if they rolled out yakju yet. if you use the images from here it will flash everything back to stock except recovery which you have to do after as well as lock the bootloader. flashing using the google images will also remove root. you can also try this cwm yajkuux from this thread

Do you read threads before you post?? The OP already said that his device came with yakjuux. It does not get "updated" to yakju... ever. So the images on Google's site are not very useful to him, now are they?
Secondly, he already said that he ALREADY downloaded my backup (from thread I started) so why are you linking to it??
Thirdly, and unrelated to the OP, the stock recovery IS included in the yakju images you linked to, so your comment about "it will flash everything back to stock except recovery" is wrong, as it does flash it.

I have modified the Yakju Galaxy Nexus factory images by completely wiping my Nexus, restoring using the factory images supplied by Google, rooting them and repacking the images with root intact.
After trying so many ROMs that are available, sometimes I think, especially considering the latest releases from Google, that stock is the way to go. Flashing it using these images is my preferred method, being the cleanest, and I have provided these for your convenience as I haven’t seen them anywhere else only ever seen flashable ROMs (i.e. from Recovery) based on the factory images, etc...
These are:
Factory Images “yakju” for Galaxy Nexus “maguro” (GSM/HSPA+)
Android 4.1.2 (JZO54K) with SU binary only
Android 4.1.2 (JZO54K) with SU binary and SuperSU app
Download links are here. MD5 and SHA1 sums are listed so you can check the downloads.
You have to use Fastboot to flash these to your device. The only requirement is that your device's bootloader is unlocked, which you can easily do, but be warned that this will wipe your user data as will flashing these factory images.
To Unlock Bootloader (in the terminal):
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
Unzip the factory image and just run the flash-all.sh in a Linux terminal or flash-all.bat in the Windows command line.
thanks 'mate! I'm gonna try this out in a bit last time I was on stock was still 4.1.1, and my current custom ROM is still on that version.
What are actually the differences of 4.1.1 and 4.1.2? Just thought you had any idea.. :cyclops:
In 4.1.2 I've noticed better battery life like others have reported and notifications can now be expanded and shrunk if you hold on them and drag up and down.

Hey, thanks for the links, just want to ask, if I'm already rooted and unlocked my bootloader, if I flash this via fastboot, will it erase my apps/internal memory/photos and such? Quite curious it's just the unlocking the bootloader that deletes all data. Will like inquiries. Thanks!

If you just run the script as is, it will wipe everything. The best thing to do is just flash the system.img if you want to retain your data.

Long time lurker, first (maybe second) time poster.
I'd really like to mess around with my phone's potential, but every time I flash a custom ROM I lose all data connectivity. 2g/voice works fine, but 3G and LTE are out the window.
Here are a few things I've tried AFTER flashing to a customer ROM. I come from years of using HTC phones and software, so I'm definitely fumbling around in the dark here. Please, excuse me if I sound ridiculous.
- I'm on Sprint
- Flashed radio zips in recovery (various ones from reading other threads)
- Used Odin to flash radio files (various ones from reading other threads)
- Repeatedly attempted to update Profile and PRL with error messages saying I couldn't update them and to call customer service
I'm not really sure what else to put up here or to try. I'm hoping the great XDA can help out! Again, I only loose data connectivity after flashing a new ROM. Unlock and root do not effect radios, and I'm able to use the phone just fine on stock software.
Attached is a screenshot of my stock build.
Thanks,
Brandon
I am a little baffled that after 150 views, no one else on this board has shared a similar experience. While its remotely possible, there is just no way I am the only one to have had this issue.
Also... shamless self-bump,.
you are flashing a sprint rom correct?

I'd hope so. I've gotten them all from the Sprint section of the GN forum here on XDA.
i would try flashing the factory images for sprint with fastboot and not odin. this may help more in making sure you have the exact radio/etc you need.

So, here's my order of operations here...
1) flash factory image with fastboot
2) install custom ROM
3) ???
4) Profit?
I mean, if there are other steps, I'm sure I can figure them out. So, I'm assuming that there is typically no need to do anything to the radios after installing a ROM?
after flashing the stock images (all of them, dont leave any out just to be sure) youd need to flash the custom recovery and then you can install the custom rom.

Sorry, but when you say all of the stock images, what do you mean? What other stock images are there?
And wait, sorry, there's something I didn't mention. I've been using the GN ToolKit for a lot of this. How do I push the stock image you linked me to using fastboot? I'm familiar with using ADB and all that, but I have no idea what to do without a guide. I certainly am not a programmer, just an enthusiast.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895 - follow the steps similar to the verizon version, except make sure you download the mysidspr image from the google website.
flash every image. bootloader, radios (note there are 2 with the CDMA versions), system, userdata (copy your SD card off before you do this as it will wipe the phone) boot. do not skip anything.

Alright. Two hours later and after all that... same result. No matter what I do, booting to any custom ROM does not allow me to access 3G/LTE. Should I just give up? lol
Alright, I've been doing some research and apparently I need my phones unique MSL codes to enter in after I flash a new ROM. Any suggestions on how to find my MSL and how to type these codes in after flashing?
Update:
Found a way to get my MSL using a script in terminal w/ root. I can access the data settings menu, but STILL cannot get my MSL for this.
Please help! We've gotten this far!
Well, some days ago I accidentally encrypted my gnex, and many attempts to undo the encryption failed.
But this time, the **** was bigger than the hole.
I wiped ALL the data(YES I WENT FULL RETARD) and now I cant boot the android neither flash the stock ROM by common ways.
So guys, how can i flash again to the stock rom?

I'd flash a stock rom directly from Google. Their script wipes everything out and goes completely stock. And then you can run `fastboot oem lock` to lock the bootloader. That's about as stock as you can get.

So if I flash a stock rom with the galaxy nexus toolkit will it unroot my phone or do I still need to do that? And then what do I use to run the "fastboot oem lock"? What about like CWM and like busybox? Will the stock rom get rid of those too?
Thanks for your help btw.
