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.

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.

did you create a nandroid backup ?
when you flashed a rom did it change your baseband you could probably just change the baseband there are a number available and you will probably get better reception on a different one

Could someone with jakjuzs please provide a stock recovery?
Because of a careeless mistake, I didn't create an image of the recovery partition before I flashed it to yakju.
I have images for everything (I hope) except the recovery.
I can go back and forth between yakju and yakjuzs but not sure if there is a difference between the two recoveries?
I have non-rooted zs Nexus and planed to upgrade the rom from yakjuzs to yakju.
However, my concerns is just in case if I need to bring back my phone to *** for maintenance, I have to flash it back to original non-rooted yakjuzs..etc.
Would anyone have any ideas for me to backup the current ROM first? Hence I can also share the ROM to ALUOp.
There wont be a stock image for yakjuzs. Stock image support is only for yakju and mysid devices.
yakjuzs is supported by Samsung. You should use the yakju one as its identical to yakjuzs.

I don't think so - the prerequisites are rooted phone and custom recovery... which kills the idea of getting the original recovery

Since your device is unlocked, I'm going to assume you have the drivers set up properly, and you have a copy of fastboot and adb somewhere on your PC. If this is correct, here is what you have to do:
1) Download CWM from here, save it to the same directory as your fastboot.exe file, and rename it to cwm.img
2) Reboot your device into fastboot mode (by turning it off, and then holding volume up and volume down, press and hold the power button.
3) Plug your phone into your computer.
4) Open a command prompt in the same directory mentioned above and type: fastboot boot cwm.img
5) Navigate the menus in CWM on your device to backup.
6) Get the backup off your device by typing: adb pull /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup

Hello all, I am still fairly new to the root/Android scene and I've run into a problem.
Firstly, my Nexus' bootloader is unlocked and I'm running and older Franco.Kernel (4.0.1 and 1.4GHZ OC). Now, the problem is, my phone has notified me that a newer OS version is available. When I go to install it, the phone reboots but right after - the little Droid appears with a red caution sign and the phone stays that way until the battery is pulled.
What am I missing here? Any help is greatly appreciated.
P.S. I'm a n00b.
Try relocking bootloader then installing update. And then unlock again.

In order to properly take an OTA and have it install you're going to have to be on the stock ROM, recovery, radios, everything. You can be unlocked and rooted, but you can't have changed anything else. Because you've flashed another kernel, you're probably going to have to flash the update manually.

I'd pass that question to someone more knowledgeable than I on the subject. I wouldn't wanna give you improper guidance. Not sure how your custom kernel comes in to play when flashing.
All I know is you won't be able to take the regular OTA in your current state.

That is overkill. Just go here: http://code.google.com/android/nexus/images.html and download the version of Android you are using. Extract the boot.img file from within, and flash that with fastboot. Now you are back to the stock kernel, and the update will install automatically (assuming of course that you did not make other changes).
EDIT: You will not lose root, your bootloader will still be unlocked, and all of your data/settings will still be there.

I'm not sure it matters if you are yakju or yakjuux (as I think all the stock GSM kernels for ITFL41F are the same), but just to be sure, go here and download my nandroid back up of yakjuux ITL41F. In the archive, you will find a boot.img file (which is the file you need). Extract it.
All you have to do it put the boot.img file in the same directory as your fastboot.exe file, reboot your device into fastboot mode, and plug it into your PC. Open a command prompt in that directory and type fastboot devices to make sure you PC recognizes your device. Then type fastboot flash boot boot.img
Done.
Now, obviously this assumes that you already have the drivers set up properly...

The "fastboot flash" command is specifically for flashing full images to partitions on the device, e.g., system, userdata, boot, recovery, bootloader, radio, splash1, etc.
Yes, i am a noob, and yes i did watch that video, but still id like to be 987% sure that im doing everything right.
Yakju(xx) GNex and i would like it to be yakju.
I will do the following.
1) Install the drivers
2) Unlock the bootloader with Galaxy Nexus ToolKit.
3) Download the yakju image via ToolKit
4) Flash it somehow.
5) Once i have yakju(im now confused if i still have bootloader unlocked)
6) I`ll use #8 (1 - CLICK for all) in Galaxy Nexus ToolKit
7) And flash custom Roms.

yes, you still have unlocked bootloader after flashing a factory image, unless you lock it yourself it's always unlocked. After flashing the image with the toolkit you should flash the radio and bootloader that are found in the same archive with the factory image file. You put them in the directory "put_img_files_to_flash_here" that is found where you installed the toolkit and then navigate around the menu and flash them. After this you are stock yakju and good to go.
EDIT: The next step, it you want to flash custom ROMs afterwards, is to flash a recovery using the same toolkit and then boot to it

You copy the radio and bootloader .img files from the archive with the factory image (https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images). You put them in the directory "put_img_files_to_flash_here" which is found in the main directory of your toolkit. Then you have the option to flash or boot image files in the toolkit. Just look around the menu and choose to flash them in the correct places (radio/bootloader).

I have been having issues with my phone not charging and being recognized in my PC. I have tried everything I can think of to fix it without success. At this point I need to send it back to Verizon, but I am currently running AOKP. So I need to revert it back to stock before I can send it.
Since the phone is not being recognized, ADB is not an option. I have tried using Mobile Odin Pro, but with v3.45 and 3.50, I get this error when I try to flash the factory image from Google: "An error occurred extracting the update script"
Any ideas how I can revert back to stock?
There ARE other ways to do it. Read the stickies.
For odin, you need compatible images with ODIN, which is not supported by Google/Samsung (just be reminded of that); the ones we get from Google are to be flashed with fastboot.
Quick tip: i believe you need to relock bootloader with the app before going back to stock completely (since you'll loose root).

Restore factory (unroot, stock recovery) without USB connection
I've read through all the threads that I can find on this an other forums regarding this challenge. Basically I have an locked bootloader rooted Galaxy Nexux Toro that has a slightly tweeked rooted JRO03O system and the Jelly Bean bootloader.
I want to restore stock recovery and stock system but the USB port is totally fried. (It actually smoked last time I plugged it in).
I have Odin Mobile Pro downloaded and a tarball for 4.0.4 (VzW-PDA-ODIN-I515EL03_ICL53F_signed.tar) ready to inject using ODIN. However I'm afraid to go ahead with this because I've read that ICS can't handle the Jelly Bean bootloader that is on my phone. As far as I see it I have 4 options:
1. Go ahead and flash the ICS tarball and hope that it works with the JB bootloader but potentially be screwed if it messes up the recovery partition with no way to reflash it as I have no USB.
2. Use the tarball that was in the google release mysid-jro03o-factory-f17426e6.tgz that the toolkit extracted when it unpacked the tgz (it's called mysid-jro03o-factory-f17426e6.tar and the toolkit pulled it from the tgz along with the zip and all the other bits and pieces)
4. Flash the tarball that I created using the GNex toolkit (Wug's) that I made using the img files for system, recovery, kernel and userdata that I pulled out of mysid-jro03o-factory-f17426e6.tgz after allowing the toolkit to unpack the TGZ
4. Try and reflash the ICS bootloader and hope the phone reboots ok into my current ROM and allows me to flash the ICF53F tarball using ODIN.
Any advice on which of these options (or another not listed) stands the best chance of success from those more knowledgeable would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

True, only earlier versions support older bootloaders, not the other way round. Some of it could work, maybe doesnt boot at all (it may be a bit extreme for the device not to, but maybe there's the chance.)

Not sure how to flash ICS bootloader on the phone... I assume you're relying on Odin Mobile for this task? Anyways, if you manage to do it, then go ahead and use odin again to restore to factory.

Yes, just return the device. Its got a freaking bad usb port. Even if they can see you modded the rom/updated system etc, and they give you trouble, just ask them to restore the device to its factory state, without USB!! "It's a developers phone people!!!" Personally, i think they will only look at unlocked/locked boot screen.

hi,
my USB port on my phone is broken and I need to go back to stock ROM for warrenty. Currently I use the Paranoid ROM 4.2.2 JDQ39 (3.67) and TWPR recovery. I read a lot of posts but I didn´t find a complete guide. So I want to ask if I can do it this way?
1. Close Bootloader with "BootUnlocker for Nexus Devices" app from the playstore
2. Download Factory Image 4.2.2 from the google developers page
Extract everything. I need the files: System.IMG, Boot.IMG, Userdata.IMG, Recovery.IMG ? Or do I need other files?
3. Install Mobile Odin Pro on my phone
4. Load the IMG files in Mobile Odin Pro and start
Is this right? What is with the radio? I have XXLJ1 on my phone. I think it is the latest. Isn´t it?
It would be nice if someone can help me.

You'll have to close the bootloader last otherwise you won't be able to flash the imgs.
I don't know if you'll can, you'll have to keep root when you reset it because you'll have to lock the bootloader last, then you could factory reset.
Not sure though.

I don't know if you'll can, you'll have to keep root when you reset it because you'll have to lock the bootloader last, then you could factory reset.
Not sure though.

I thought I don't need a open bootloader for Odin Mobile?
I just did this with the same problem about a month ago, and I relocked the bootloader first because you won't have root or a way to use fastboot to lock it afterward. Odin worked just fine with bootloader locked.

i sent my gnex in for the same broken usb port issue, and all i did to the bad one was do a factory reset on cm10.whatever it was at the time, and locked the bootloader with that app, probably did that first i guess lol.
but they havent charged me for that, so i assume its all good, its been a few months so if they were going to charge me they would have i assume

But I´m not sure if it works for me too, so I would like to try to go back to stock ROM. The problem is that I don´t know if it works with this guide and I don´t want to make a mistake.
can anyone tell me if it is possible to use the 4.2.2 factory image from the google developers site or do I have to use a special odin file?
If I have to use a odin file where can I find it? I only found old files with android 4.0.1
thanks in advance for any help.
Can anybody help me with my problem? I try to go back to stock to send it in.
Thanks

This may or may not be relevant but I used to have a T989 (TMO GSII) and the USB port when bad as well. Any connection that I attempted would last brief moments and in one of those, I took the chance and tried restoring. What ended up happening is the update did not complete and the phone remained in the ODIN screen even after reboots. I sent it in like so and they still honored the warranty. So what I'm trying to say, as a last resort you could intentionally brick your GN...
I have heard however, that warranty companies don't always check to see if you've messed with the software so there's another thought.
Just send it back as is. Your problem is hardware related, not software. They'll refurb the phone and re-image it anyway.
Thanks for your answers!
OK I understand. But is it that dangerous to go back to stock without USB, so I shouldn't do it or is it only that you think it is not necessary?

Why dont you download this on your phone directly http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1882248 and then flash it using Mobile Odin or Recovery. Dont flash SuperUser. Factory reset and then lock the bootloader.
Wouldnt that work?

I think I could flash this with TWRP, if it´s no problem that I come from Paranoid 4.2.2 ? But it is not really stock. Is it? What happen than when I do the factory reset? Does it erase TWRP? And I think I need root to lock the bootloader...

So lets try this again, OK?
1. Download the stock rom from the link and copy to your phone
2. Boot into TWRP
3. Wipe data
4. Flash the stock 4.3 rom you downloaded
5. Reboot.
Now, you have stock 4.3 but you are still rooted. A factory reset from the OS doesnt unroot you or takes away your root.
6. Download this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.segv11.bootunlocker&hl=en and lock yout bootloader. This will do a wipe again.Now reboot.
7. Remove /system/bin/su via adb shell or by using root explorer
8. Remove /system/app/Superuser.apk via adb shell on phone or by using root explorer
9. Factory reset.
Done. By now, you should be stock, unrooted and without any custom recoveries.

I have one more question. In step 3 should I do a factory reset before I flash the rom? Because I usually do one when I install a new rom and I don't want to do a mistake because I can't use usb to fix it. And is it OK that I go from 4.2.2 Paranoid to this 4.3 stock rom?

Before you flash the new ROM; you must wipe data.
And yes, its OK to come from 4.2.2 to 4.3 as long as you wipe data.
