(Q)Getting GN in a week! *Questions*

Hey guys, I'm getting the GN in a week and I have some questions.
1. The difference between Takju, and Yakju are the same right? Except google wallet, and I the roms/kernel on XDA is interchangeable right?
2. Let's say google releases jelly bean, do I need to recieve the official Jelly bean update, than flash a custom rom? Or can I just flash a custom jelly bean rom?
3. Flashing radios in CWM, is it permanent?
4. On average, what's the average overclock(CPU) for you guys?
5. For the Nexus toolkit, I can just press #7 and it will do everything for me, right?
*Coming from the G2X*

2. Depends what they change. A new bootloader and radio may come with it, which would need to be flashed before any custom ROM.
3. Yes

1. Should be, yeah. So far, the only difference I've seen is Google Wallet.
2. Either choose to flash stock Jelly Bean when it arrives or go with a Jelly Bean custom ROM when they arrive. It's all just a matter of preference.
3. Yes, until you flash another radio image.
4. I go with the stock clock. I really have no need for overclocking.
5. Yup, given that option 7 is a "one-click" kind of option. I do not use toolkits except for backing up and restoring my EFS.

Takju and Yakju are just versions of the stock ICS firmware, they're perfectly stock with no regional customization. Takju simply has Google Wallet pre installed, that's it. Whether you're on takju or yakju has no bearing on what ROM or kernel you can use.

Once they drop the Jellybean source and/or GNex images, you'll be able to flash any ROM built from it without accepting the OTA first (you'll have anything new separately available to flash if necessary). It'll just be like you're flashing another 4.0.4 ROM.
3. Flashing radios in CWM, is it permanent?

What do you mean permanent? The radio stays there until you flash a different one, if that's what you mean. They don't expire or go away.
4. On average, what's the average overclock(CPU) for you guys?

Don't use a toolkit. Learn how to do it manually yourself and you'll be much better off.

5. If i use the toolkit, it still gets me to the end result, right? (Flash Radio,CWM,Roms, etc)
I'm coming from the G2X. On our phone we just use NVFlash, done.

I guess you could use odin to flash a pre-rooted firmware. Then you would end up on the almost latest firmware, i.e. yakju 4.0.4 IMM76D, ehile the latest is IMM76I but that's easily taken care of with an update.
All you then need to do is maybe unlock your bootloader and keep it unlocked. Use this link and choose the full image option: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1586807
Download the attached odin file in that link and do exactly as Chainfire says.
After all of that is done, use the Galaxy Nexus toolkit to backup your EFS partition! That's where the IMEI is and if you lose the EFS partition somehow, you can always restore the one you backed up.
ODIN is a simple and easy to use tool. Normally not necessary to use if using a Nexus device, but it's good as a last-resort if all else fails and also good for normal use too.

Yeah I'm ordering mine sometime next week and I just wanted to knsow if 100$ was a good price and if you owners would get something different if you could. And if anyone has found it any cheaper than 100$ as an upgrade? And what are some good cheap accessories? Thanks in advance!!!

Touchwiz is damn ugly
I wouldn't trade this Gnex for a phone ten times better than it. There's a reason I chose a Nexus phone.

And, let's say I buy the International version, and it comes with Android 4.0.3. Can't I use the toolkit to unlock bootloader, and than install custom rom? Or do I need to get official Android 4.0.4 than install custom rom? I prefer the toolkit, and not ODIN.
Sorry for being a noob, I'm from the G2X. And the firmware does not matter right? Because you're flashing a custom rom anyway..
Also, how do I backup the EFS on the toolkit? Is it #2 on the toolkit? Backup/Restore Phone

Ordered mine today!!
Alright I ordered my nexus today and it will be here Friday, so I would like to know if the i9250 accessories will work with the l700? And what are some recommended accessories?

Is 4.1.1 from 4.1 big enough for noob to manually update?

Hi, I am a pretty big noob and I finally decided to man the fuk up and flash to takju jelly bean (I had yakjuux) 4.1 just today by booting up into clockwork and flashing ROM, radio, and bootloader to takju (Worked like a charm ). Now I am thinking of updating to 4.1.1, but since I am a noob and all, do you think this is necessary update for noob like me to manually update? I can wait a bit for OTA if I have to. Also when I am updating to 4.1.1 (either manually or via OTA) should I hard reset this? Or is it fine for me to just update? Thanks so much for helping a noob like me Have a nice day!

You can update very similarly but simply by booting into a temporary CWM image and flashing the .zip.
You can also just wait. It's just a small "bugfix" update from 4.1 really. And since you're a takju device now, you shouldn't be waiting long.
You do not need to hard reset. These OTAs are 100% meant to be applied without wiping anything.

Are you a noob?

Can't update to 4.1 Jelly Bean?

Just bought my Nexus a little over a week ago as to an S3 can't seem to update to jelly bean for some reason though..help?

Lol. Just download the Tool Kit and the official Google 4.1.1 firmware that is available from their site (Links are in Development Section | Official Firmware links) make sure you know if your's is maguro or toro, then download the respective firmware and flash it via ToolKit.

Don't use a toolkit. Learn how to unlock bootloader and fastboot on your own as it is better than having it spoon fed

Did you try going into Settings > Apps > All Applications > Google Services Framework & Clear cache / Clear data? Sometimes doing that will make it work. Try that. Don't use a toolkit...

Let's not forget needs about toroplus.. don't need Verizon stuff on sprint. Adb is so easy! Use that! Toolkit is for halfa++ corner cutters
After you clear cache go to your dialer and type *#*#checkin#*#* and wait for confirmation then immediately go to settings about phone and update.

Based on the screen shot, it's gsm but build number isn't there. What build is the Op on? So far it's only yakju/takju, yakjuxw, yakjuxe, and yakjuzs that have jb so if he's on a different build and really want jb, then he needs to flash but if he can wait, then he has to wait still

fastboot oem unlock
Doesn't get easier than that.
And if just trying to get updates then do the checkin dialer. It forces the update to push

I was stuck on 4.0.3 for a week and just got tired of waiting and just rooted and loaded the stock 4.1.1 rom. This was my first time rooting and loading the rom. Wasn't hard at all.

You don't need to root it to load the factory image from Google. You only need the bootloader unlocked and you can do it through fastboot. Really very simple That's your best bet. As far as the first toolkit, I don't think there's any harm in using it specially if you're just going to use it to flash the factory image and unlock bootloader.

Try going to menu, options, applications, scroll over to all applications and clear data on Google services framework, Then go to about phone, system updates. That's what I did for the ota jb.

Not really. If you want to claim warranty, you can always lock the bootloader. And just use the toolkit from the thread in the development section. Remember you only have to do 2 things, unlock bootloader and flash factory image for 4.1.2.

I would agree with you completely. But I feel you're going to spend more time explaining it to someone who would rather take the easier way out than do all that. Yesterday had to explain to a 40 year old, father of two what adb was that I felt he was probably not ready to start sipping from the advanced user's method. I spent an hour trying to explain everything, what more if there was no toolbox?

[Q] Need help with my Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hello,
I have recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy Nexus which has build number JRN84D.
As far as I am aware, Google phones get first of the latest Android, but i cannot get past 4.1
The phone was meant to be new but came rooted and i cannot tell if it has a custom rom installed.
If i was to put it back to stock and unroot with Nexus Root Toolkit v1.7.1 what build number should i use?
Can i use YAKJU-MAGURO: Android 4.3.0 - Build:JWR66V?
Or is there another build i have to choose, if i can't do this can i unroot my phone another way?
Thanks
Found out my product is Takju
so would i be able to use TAKJU-MAGURO: : Android 4.3.0 - Build:JWR66V?

If you are POSITIVE you have a Takju device you would want - https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#takjujwr66v
This is the factory image for Android 4.3 on Takju.
Does your phone have a custom recovery like ClockworkMod or TWRP installed?

I downloaded Android System Info went into System and then build infos Product takju
and the fingerprint is also google/takju
I do not have Google Wallet though and i cannot download it.
No custom recovery installed just want it back to stock as i bought it new and when i received it i found out was rooted

Takju and yakju doesn't matter. Takju has google wallet pre installed and receives ota updates earlier. So you're safe to flash either one of them... I flashed takju on my yakju gnex and it works like a charm.

Don't use the toolkit. Learn and use the proper procedure. Using the toolkit is just inviting problems, problems that are hard to diagnose if the proper procedure isn't used.

Toolkits sound easy and friendly but for the sake of humanity, do not use them. I tried it out for sh*ts and gigs and I had a harder time figuring it out than using Fastboot. Avoid at all costs. Fastboot!

[Q] Making Galaxy Nexus Official

Hi guys,
Actually i have a galaxy nexus gt I9250M running 4.4.2 Cyanogenmod. I accidentally deleted my phone official 4.0.4 Rom backup. Now i want to make it official. I know to use Odin properly to make my phone official but the problem is i cant find my phone official Rom. I searched samfirmware website but i cant understand which file to choose. As i installed 4.4.2 Rom on my nexus. I cant use the *#1234# code for knowing my PDA. My base band version is TDVLH1. If anyone knows about selecting the right firmware plz help me. I cant check it by Samsung kies as it says my phone model is incorrect.
Thanks,
Computech_pc

I dont see why you want but just use fastboot to return to stock. Download the right factory image and flash it.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA Free mobile app

Yea, what he said...times a thousand!
You MIGHT be able to use Odin... but why... just use fastboot and the correct package from https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
Note there are two different maguro sections. You can find your specific one via looking at information in the Bootloader(power and both volume buttons at same time will bring you to bootloader/fastboot mode)

if you are unsure which one you need from that page, it is going to be a maguro package.
I think there are two different ones for maguro, takju and yakju or something. you can find out which one u have I believe within the bootloader menu, it should have all relevant info listed in bottom left of screen

I have a gnex sch-i515 I'm having trouble with the drivers when I hook my phone up to my pc. I went to Samsung's website and downloaded the only driver listed for the sch-i515. Tried to install but it didn't work after a minute of searching a screen pops up saying please insert the disc that came with your phone. Iv searched xda hopping someone could help me out but no luck yet. I wish that there was a video showing exactly how to unlock the Verizon Galaxy Nexus sch-i515 running 4.2.2 stock
