Hi everybody,
Now that the 4.0.4 has been released for the Galaxy Nexus GSM, is there a full (not OTA) stock 4.0.4 rooted ROM with Google apps?
Is it needed to update kernel and radio? I want to keep CWM.
I've searched around the forum but I didn't see answers to all my questions...
Thanks you!

to have the full 4.0.4 stock rom, you'll have to unlock bootloader and flash the factory image provided by google, either by fastboot or using the nexus toolkits. The kernel and radio will be flashed automatically if you use the toolkits as it's part of the image. You can then use the toolkit to reflash CWM
Yes but I prefer a .zip file so I can delete everything that I don't need before flashing the ROM.
Something like this ROM (the one I have now) :

Thanks you!
Download the factory image from google and root it yourself.
If I was able to do it I would not ask for a ROM.
Is there an easy way to convert the image from google in tgz format to a flashable .zip file?

Yes. You can use dsixda's kitchen to make a flashable .zip file from the .img you can download from google.
why not just flash the 4.0.4 images and re-root?
Sorry to hijack, but I've got a question along the similar line.
If I use the galaxy nexus toolkit and unlock my boot loader, then use the option in it to restore to stock. After that I keep my boot loader unlocked. Will I still get ota updates?

Unlocked bootloader doesn't effect OTA's AFAIK. Custom recovery like CAN however does.

Hey guys can't remove superuser after rooting device I have tried every thing I used superboot r3 to root device originally
Any ideas how to fix
Thanks
If you are using a stock rom just use fastboot oem lock.

You need to flash the stock image from Google and then fastboot oem lock
I don't have the Nexus, but on my OG SGS this was as simple as flashing back to a stock FW using Odin...

This! In the gsm dev section look up chainfires 4.0.2 odin image. Then see if you can use fastboot to relock bootloaders.
You don't need to use ODIN at all, you can do it via fastboot with the Google 4.0.2 image from here:

I agree, but odin is another option...
Thanks for your comments guys but I have flashed to stock using fast boot but has not removed to root. Ie superuser as it's still rooted
I have read all dominations of solutions without success
It must be how I had rooted the device using super boot in the first place can't unroot after using this exploit had the same issues looks like. I have no warranty if I return this if I can't solve this problem
Thanks

what the problem is that by just flashing, stuff is leftover. U need to do a full wipe, including the system partition in cmw. Then flash and all should be fine. Just for future reference.

PS post if they say anything about it still not having warranty. On the Xoom, it still says it not warranted after u get it relocked and back to stock. Hope it doesn't apply to the nexus.

Anyone have a linky for stock rooted IMM76I (latest right?) that I can flash in CWM? I have the GSM Galaxy Nexus? I looked around and couldn't find one which means its probably right in front of my face.
you can also flash the stock rom and easily root the phone.

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...

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?
