Hi.
I would like to flash a Custom ROM, this will be my first ROM Flash so I've got some noob questions.
My Inc2 is currently ROOTED (by Revolutionary), S-OFF, with SU on Android 2.3.3 , all else is completely stock.
I want to flash the andyBONESTOCK 5.10.605.9 ROM. (I've already go this file and the associated SU file). This ROM is based on the latest from Verizon/HTC and is all Stock except is rooted/s-off.
Will this ROM Flash also update my Radio Baseband to the latest 1.09.01.1111 ?This Base Band is in the latest Verizon/HTC update
I believe it will not. And that I will have to seperately flash the radio.
To update the radio I believe all I have to do is rename the Radio file to PGIMG32.IMG, put it in SD Card root directory, reboot phone in HBOOT, and install the file.
Is this correct?
Thanks,
Yes. That is correct. I would also suggest doing a nandroid backup before flashing the ROM just in case you run into problems and need to get back to where you are now. The only thing that won't backup is your radio.

and if for some reason you should not like the newer radio, you can just download the one you are currently on and rename it and Flash it the same way you did the update. just remember to remove the previous update from the root of yours sd card.

thanks for the confirmations!
i'll backup my apps & data and try it.
I have unlocked, rooted, and installed Clockwork Recovery on my Galaxy Nexus (GSM, Wind Canada), and now I want to flash 4.0.4 yakju.
My current bootloader is PRIMEKK15 and my current radio baseband is UGLA4
Is flashing 4.0.4 yakju as simple as downloading the image found on google's site (yakju-imm76i-factory-8001e72f.tgz), putting it on the phone, going to Clockwork Mod, navigating to "install zip from SDcard", then choosing yakju-imm76i-factory-8001e72f.tgz, or do I have to open the tgz, then open the tar inside, and then extract this zip and install that in CWM http://i.imgur.com/wXC64.png
Since it's not a custom ROM like AOKP or CM, do I have to wipe data/factory reset in clockwork? Do I have to flash gapps?
Do I have to flash the new bootloader and radio baseband found in 4.0.4 separately?
Also, some people report reception problems with the baseband included in 4.0.4. If I want to go back to UGLA4, is that possible? I would be using the CWM "radio.img" for UGLA4 found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23149491&postcount=139
I think that's all the questions I have, lol.
Well first off, if you're going to do it I'd just recommend you wait for the 4.1.1 image for the GSM GNex to drop. If you're really ansy, then you could flash 4.0.4 and you'll still get the OTA, but just something to think about.
Now to the question, no, you don't flash it like a ROM in CWM recovery. If you wish to completely move to yakju (or takju) to get on the Google update line (not sure why else you'd do it), you need to flash the images via fastboot. All parts of the images. It's important to have the proper bootloader and radio if you intend to receive and automatically install OTA updates. If you don't, you won't be able to install it as it checks for the radio and bootloader as part of the install process.
Follow this guide from Efrant, it's gold: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895
Don't use a toolkit!

I haven't heard about any issues with the latest 4.0.4 radio outside of isolated problems. You can change the radio if you want (via fastboot, rly quick), but as I said, it'll stop you from auto-installing OTAs (which is why you went to yakju, isn't it?). You'll also get a new radio with 4.1.1.
Hmm, I might not even bother, seeing as to get the updates I'd lose CWM and root. Perhaps I will just wait for 4.1 like you said and install that.
By the way, since I am on 4.0.2 but I have CWM, does that mean even if my yakjuux build got 4.0.4 OTA, I wouldn't get notified (because of the custom recovery)??
EDIT: Say Google puts up a 4.1 image next week, I would just need to download it and follow the same steps that are outlined in that post (flashing all the different images in fastboot)?

You can flash CWM and root it again after going to yakju, but you'll have to update manually (no auto-installing OTA) after that. You have to pull the image and flash it, and use an app like "OTA root keeper" to hold onto root.

You'll be notified, but the update won't install. It requires stock recovery to auto-install.
Cool. In that case, I will just wait for JB, then once I flash that image myself, I will reflash CWM and root my phone again.
Thanks for the help, and thanks for the link to that thread!

From what I understand to use the older kj3 radio the system folder (libril-qc-qmi-1.so, and libril.so files need to be removed). How exactly is this done? I have tried unzipping the kj3 radio zip file and deleting the system folder then zipping, but the new zip fales to flash with CWM.
Does anyone have a link to a Telus T989D kj3 radio zip that is compatible with ICS (stock rooted ICS upped by Mr.X)?
thanks in advance
I wish to extract the modem for my stock un rooted rom, but don't know how. I am assuming I back it up extract the backup file look for the modem file and take that out, and then what? re-zip it? if thats the method which backup process will allow me to back up and access to the whole rom?
Hello XDA,
so my Galaxy Nexus's USB port just died and I need to RMA. I'm on CM10.1 M3 so I need to lock the bootloader and flash the stock ROM. As I'm rooted there will be no problem to lock the bootloader before flash using BootUnlocker, but then I have no idea how to flash the stock ROM. I was thinking about flashing it using Mobile Odin, which uses .tar files, but I can't find any...
Thanks in advance.
As I got no response I continued searching...
I downloaded the official JDQ39 factory image from here and there are these files in it:
- .zip with stock ROM
- .img with modem
- .img with bootloader
My modem and bootloader are stock and the .zip file includes recovery. So I thought maybe I could install ROM Manager, install TWRP through which I would flash this .zip and that would overwrite my CM ROM and TWRP recovery to stock.
Is this possible or did I just make this up?
So I realised that the method in my second post wouldn't work because those files are only meant for fastboot ADB.
I continued my search for Mobile ODIN flashable stock files, but I only found few for CDMA version of Galaxy Nexus. I have a GSM version.
I have only found this Chainfire's old thread with broken links for 4.0.2 GSM ODIN files and this guide which also has dead links to GSM files.
I'm getting desperate. Can anybody send me in the right direction?

Might want to reach Chainfire on those Odin images. Have you tried searching for the exact filenames on Google and then comparing hashes?

Hi!
I had the same problems that you have now.
What I did was to make e restore from cwr with any backup that is stock. You can find them here at xda. After you can lock again the bootloader. But I'm not sure if I had to lock the boatload first and after run the recovery process. I had cwr installed when I send the GN for repair. I had stock rom, locked bootloader, cwr installed. And everything was ok. After a week I received the GN fixed for free.

Problem solved. I'm saved!
I found this flashable 4.1 ROM .zip from Koush aaaand that's it! All I did was that I used BootUnlocker then flashed this 4.1's radio through CWM and at last the ROM itself which also overwritten CWM with stock recovery. And now... I'm all STOCK and can send the phone to RMA.
Nandroid backup through CWM is also a good idea, but it still leaves you CWM. Not 100% clean.
Hope this helps someone.
