I meant that people had noticed..or from a Dev who had opened it up for a look. That's why I didn't ask for an actual change log lol usually people notice changes quite quickly such as improvements or decrease in performance

Flashing bootloader is always dangerous, method used is not important.

Thanks for your answers I downloaded it and md5 matches up so should be ok but do you know if this will be OK for 4.0.2 roms?

Bootloaders and Radios are independent of Android version. Go ahead.

Does it matter what bootloader you are coming from? Can this be flashed from 4.03?
Also, are there any benefits of flashing a new bootloader besides it looking different?

They're independent of ANYTHING. Go ahead and just flash.
New bootloader = stuff behind the scenes. Will never know unless it comes from Google, it's like flashing a BIOS.

I have no more battery drop after reboot with this bootloader, look like it have a new battery driver.

Probably none.

Could this have messed up access to the market, does anyone else notice that? Market force closes as soon as I click on an app.

I think I've narrowed it down to that though.. Would anyone have the previous bootloader as a cwm flashable zip? Am at work, no pc..

flashed it this morning ... no issue so far ... also market works :thumbup:

[Q] question about sprint ota update

when the update came out i try to update but i couldnt bcause it went to recovery and then when the update was starting i got an android with an exclamation mark. so then i flashed the radios and after a while the update notification started to show up again? i dont know what to do can someone help me out

Have you changed anything about your stock software? Added/removed system apps, rooted, changed fonts, recovery, etc..?

yes... lol. its rooted, changed soft keys, recovery, kernel.. i kinda knew it was because of that but i dont know how to go back to stock.

Well there you go. You can't have anything changed in the system if you plan on accepting the OTA update.
If you want to accept the OTA, you need to flash back to the stock images (everything back to 100% stock except bootloader unlock is OK) and wait for the OTA notification again.

Or check now on update section (settings /system) but I would recommended stay rooted that only bad thing about rooting is the a lot rooms don't have prl update and is annoying to flash a stock from just to do that

Yes. Returning to stock you'll have to completely wipe the device. How else would you get rid of all the **** you changed?

I'm just asking cause before with my evo 4g I could've restored and my memory card wouldn't get erased and if I restore my nexus it does so its different.

If you do a factory reset with CWM or something it doesn't wipe the virtual SDcard.
The reason why it wipes when you flash to stock is you only have 1 partition internal storage that must be wiped when you install the OS...

(PROBLEM SOLVED- Thanks efrant ! )Problem updating my nexus to JB 4.1

Guys help me
Basically
I got jelly bean OTA 4.1
It downloaded
Now it asked me to reboot.
I did
It went to recovery
And it started to install..
Then I kept my device
And when I came back
I saw it was ICS .
Nothing changed. WTF? How's that possible?
When I went again settings > system updates there is no OTA.
And I am fully stock with right recovery, bootlooder etc..
OK problem solved . I installed it via CWM. No problems at all :laugh:
Thanks!

yes!

You probably have something that is not stock. It is too hard to tell if you are using the stock recovery. Easiest way to install it is to look at my update thread and manually install it using CWM.

What's the fastest way to do this?

No, I'm pretty sure you'd need to relock your boot loader and have stock recovery

Why would I need to relock the bootloader?
That shouldn't be required for an update... I know it wasn't when I went from 4.0 to 4.1

You don't need a locked boot loader or stock recovery. OTA's apply fine with unlocked boot loaders and custom recoveries.
You will need a stock /system though and any other file that's being patched.

The OTA won't apply automatically with a custom recovery. You have to move the file and flash it manually.

Correct. Assuming you're rooted and unlocked this is a fairly trivial operation.

Download titanium back up. Back up all app data. Make sure your on the latest clockwork mod or twrp. Wipe data factory reset flash mmuzzy 4.2.2 rom let apps restore from play store then restore app data from titanium back up and profit.

You can, but will she even notice if its updated? I'd fastboot flash all except userdata.img, in your case http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895

so i can get the system img and boot img from 4.2.2 and flash it on her Gnex and itll work?

I think Titanium is your best bet... After I flash a rom I restore apps and data (not system apps) before I even sign into my Google accounts, it's never failed, I've have backups that I've used since Titanium came out, it's never failed me and I've never had any issues with it...

THIS!
Trust me ANY other custom ROM is usually ALOT better than pure stock, she will appreciate it mor as an update!

Any custom rom will have advantages over plain stock.

I also have a similar question. Is there any way to stay on stock unrooted 4.1.1 and get the 4.2 lock screen?
