I just got 2 new Galaxy Nexus phones (docomo sc-04d versions) after reading on here that they work the same as the I925 and testing them with my sim cards, I have no issues with them working on my current network.
While reading through the forums, I realized both of them have the old baseband, XXKK1. I went to the radio forum and downloaded the latest for my area... UGLA4. Loaded the phone in recovery mode, but all I get is the android on his back with the red exclamation and limited options. No options to flash the radio like in the tutorial video. The bootloader does say unlocked, so is their something else I have to do? I don't know if the Galaxy Nexus toolkit will help, as I thought my phone was unlocked.
Also, I changed the keyboard from Japanese to English, but there are 4 apps in Japanese that cannot be removed ggg market, sohuNews and two others that I cannot read. Does this mean I do not have a stock build, but a branded one? Right now I just want a stock build with the updated radio for now, atleast just to get the phones good to go. Also, will I need to change the baseband back to the original everytime I get an update notification for a new build?
Thanks in advance, phone info follows:
Running 4.0.2
Build number: ICL53F-I9250ZSKL2
Kernal: 3.0.8-gaaa2611
[email protected] #1
Baseband: I9250XXKK1
Bootloader info:
Fastboot Mode
Product name - tuna
Variant - maguro
HW version - 9
Bootloader version - PRIMEKK15
Baseband Version - I9250XXKK1
Carrier Info - None
Signing - Production
Lock State - Unlocked
You should probably flash the stock Google images. This will get rid of the region-specific build and all of that baked-in crap. It'll also include the latest radio.
I know Docomo is a Japanese company, but the fact that the keyboard defaulted to Traditional Chinese and didn't have a Japanese input threw me off, but I edited it, thanks for the clarification.
Should I just pull the stock images from Google's code site for factory images? (sorry can't post links yet)
Keep it as 4.0.2 and let it update itself, or flash to 4.0.4?
Flashing it with stock will keep the phone unlocked, correct?
Thanks again.

Might as well go straight to 4.0.4, the images are available.
It should remain unlocked, but I'd take a look at the threads specific to the SC-04D, as there are some idiosyncrasies with that model.

I've seen plenty of rooting guides for the Docomo Galaxy Nexus, and guides to sim unlock the device on its original japanese custom software, but no guides to convert the docomo-locked japanese galaxy nexus into a fully stock international unlocked version. It should technically be possible, since both are the i9250 and exactly identical when it comes to hardware, and the only difference, to my knowledge, is the software that runs on the docomo-locked galaxy nexus. If I were to flash a stock ICS 4.0.4 yakju build directly from google's download site, would the docomo nexus become "factory unlocked" on its own after flashing, just like any international version? Would it be able to receive OTA updates directly from google in the future? Also, if anyone could help me know how to go about flashing the yakju 4.0.4 onto the docomo nexus from scratch, it would be greatly appreciated. I ask because I was able to purchase a carrier-locked Docomo Galaxy Nexus for $415 USD, and was told that it could be fully converted to a phone exactly identical to the international unlocked version (except, of course, for the Docomo branding on the back cover). I'm sure this would be useful to many people. If anyone would be willing to give me some guidance, it would really help me out a lot! I am relatively new to android hacking, but did have a nexus s in the past, on which I ran cyanogenmod 9. I am in the USA, and am using AT&T. Once again, it would be a huge help if someone could guide me in the right direction, and I figured there was no better place to look than XDA! Thank you so much!

Actually, I have done something similar, so let me put the steps that I followed:
1. Download the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit from its XDA thread and set it on your PC
2. Setup the drivers for Galaxy Nexus - This was the toughest step for me. The above toolkit itself gives an option, but that did not work on my PC. I ended up downloading the latest version of Android SDK and setting it up again so that my GNex could connect properly.
3. Start the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit and follow the instructions to unlock bootloader etc. I used option 7, which unlocks bootloader, roots and flashes CWM recovery - all in one step. The toolkit provides sufficient online instructions so its a piece of cake once you can successfully connect your GNex to the PC
4. Get the stock version of 4.0.4 for GSM (I think Google provides some links)
5. Use recovery mode to wipe date and install the zip
6. SIM unlock using IMEI code purchased online or using nv_data.bin method or use the F***Docomo.apk developed by one of the developers on XDA (Although this apk may not yet work on 4.0.4, I can confirm that it works on 4.0.2)
In my case, instead of flashing stock, I flashed ARHD 2.1.5 and used the apk to SIM unlock.
The toolkit and the apk are easily searchable on XDA. Hope the above helps
Enjoy your GNex

Hello. Thank you very much for your detailed explanation. I had a few questions regarding the process: 1.) Is it necessary to use an unlock code/unlock program to unlock the phone after flashing the yakju build? If I were to flash the yakju build to the galaxy nexus without using a sim unlock method on the docomo software, would the phone unlock itself automatically after flashing yakju, since the yakju software contains different radios than those found in the docomo software? 2.) I noticed that the yakju build on google's download site downloads as a .tar file. I was wondering, before I even attempt to flash it, if it is safe to flash a .tar file on clockworkmod,or if I need to somehow extract it. If so, how should I go about doing this? Once extracted from the .tar file, can the yakju file then be flashed in clockworkmod recovery as if it were any other rom? 3.) Will I still be able to receive OTA updates directly from google as they become available?
Once again, thank you so much for your help!

1. Flashing yakju will not unlock a SIM-locked phone. There can be 3 scenarios,
i) Phone is currently SIM-locked --> You will need to SIM unlock even after flashing yakju
ii) Phone is currently 'temporarily' SIM unlocked --> Flashing a new ROM or factory reset will lead to phone getting SIM locked again. So needs to be SIM unlocked again
iii) Phone is currently permanently SIM unlocked --> No need to do anything after flashin yakju.
2. My understanding is that .tar cannot be flashed directly using CWM. It should be containing a zip file with ROM and probably the image files for baseband etc. If you want to manually flash, you can also follow the instructions here --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1391881
3. You should be getting OTA updates after flashing yakju
I am not sure If i have a similar problem. Please help

I just bought a new galaxy nexus gt-i9250 from Ebay India
The seller says I can use any SIM. Here;e the link:
http://_cgi_.ebay.in/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280923671374 (Please remove the '_')
Is there a way for me to find out if my phone is "temporarily' SIM unlocked or Permanently Sim unlocked?
Also,
one of my fellow buyers reported that, he got an offical Jelly Bean OTA when he turned on the device and the phone got bricked when he updated it. Could this happen? If we are getting an OTA from google, then it means that it is in the 'yakju' build everyone's talking about and the phone shouldn't be bricked. Isn'it?
Sorry it sounded sounded dumb. I am new to using android.
Does anybody know if the docomo phones that newegg sells are perm or temp sim-unlocked? will the phone keep the sim unlock after going to yakju?

I have a Newegg Docomo (bought it in April). First thing I did to it was flash yakju 4.0.4 (IMM76D) using the GNex Toolkit and pop in my AT&T SIM, which had previously been in an AT&T GS II (SGH-I777). It worked like a champ immediately - no muss no fuss. I think it was SIM-unlocked by whomever Newegg gets them from.
I've since gotten the IMM76I and JRO03C updates OTA.

Thanks a bunch! I know this is a little OT, but did yours look used at all? Any scratches or dents?
I started a thread below about having to re-flash the stock radio bands and version of ICS that came on my Rogers Nexus because I'm returning it, but now I have a question for Rogers GNex owners that have the stock version of ICS that shipped still on their phone: Can you please start your phone into fastboot (I think this is what it's called? When you hold down the volume buttons + power button) and post all of the information you see on the bottom left corner? Like: product name, variant, hw version, bootloader version, baseband version etc? I just want to confirm whether or not I got everything back to stock.
Thanks and greatly appreciated!!

All CDN phones came with a yakjuux build. I took a nandroid backup of the 4.0.2 ITL41F mine came with:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410310
Your phone may have first come with 4.0.1 but you can return it with yakjuux 4.0.2 and it'll be just like a stock unit that received the OTA.
The zip containing the yakjuux OTA to 4.0.2 contains a bootloader img file for PRIMEKK15, so that is also one you can use that will look like stock. The OTA to 4.0.4 contained no bootloader at all, so units went 4.0.2->4.0.4 or 4.0.1->4.0.2->4.0.4 will have PRIMEKK15 and units that went 4.0.1->4.0.4 will have PRIMEKK14.
The radio that came with yakjuux 4.0.1 is UGKL1; 4.0.2 was UGLA4; 4.0.4 is UGLC1.
Any customer with an unmodified stock CDN GNex should have the same software so they can help you regardless of whether they are on Rogers or not.

5) If i manually flash to other build now, do i start / continue receiving OTA Updates when available?
Thanks in advance and sorry if some pro feels these questions are stupid.
Everything its ok with your phone... Unlocked means you are free to use any carriers..
You have yakjuzs versión and i dont know if it had received OTA yet
As far as you dont change a single file from factory image meaning kernel/bootloader /baseband /system apks. You are ok to receive OTAs if you manually flash stock 4.0.4 IMM76i

Where did you get your phone? Play store? Somewhere else? How long have you had it? You should be able to tell right off if your sim is working because of whether or not you have service.
I'll try to ease your mind. First off, if you root and flash roms, you will be a me to update whenever you want because as soon as the ota is available (most times before they are even deployed) it will be posted here and on rootz and numerous other places. To sum it up... root and enjoy arguably the best overall android device available.

No, that means the bootloader its locked, and i really encourage you to unlock it so you can root the phone when needed, and you wont have the problem of backing up your data and apks with a locked bootloader /non rooted phone

I got this phone from UK and using it inn Belgium......
Using it since 2 days and carrier service seems to be ok, but recovery mode shows "Lock State : Locked". Why???
Since it is GSM I should have received OTA 4.0.4 by now but havent received still on 4.0.2.....why???
Read here
Edit: you havent received OTA cuz you havent received OTA theres not a fixed time for it.. It can take from 1 day to several months...
Thats why ppl tend to flash manually the updates

All phones, including android and apple phones, come in this locked state.You can still use the phone on any network, but you can't change the ROM or kernel. To put in custom kernels and ROMs, you unlock this part of the phone. I would read up more on this before you decide to unlock it. You may decide that you do not want the phone unlocked.
If you want to flash yakju or takju, see here.

There is a difference between having a locked bootloader and being SIM-locked to a network. The former means that you cannot use fastboot commands, the latter means that you can only use one carriers SIM card. Your device has a locked bootloader, but it is SIM unlocked.

Yes, it is a GSM device. As was mentioned, updates can take anywhere from minutes to months after the first person receives it, before you get it. Given that you are running a yakjuzs build, the update has started rolling out. So, you can either: 1) wait until you get it; 2) flash it yourself by following the steps here; or 3) flash one of the Google builds (yakju or takju), as posted by msedek in the post above.

So if i follow the steps here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25477039&postcount=1
I will be flash my yakjuzs to yakju ROM with locked bootloader and hence forth all the updates would be from google instead of samsung (Currently).

That method will unlock your bootloader (which is what you want) and flash yakju, and you will then get the updates from Google.

Hi everyone, This is my first post and my first trouble
I have samsung galaxy nexus, Its made in korea (written at its back when we remove the battery), when i got this phone it was probably rooted because it was on 4.0.2 and software update was available to 4.1.1 but when the update completed and phone restarted, it suddenly shows me a red Exclamation mark and then nothing happens and i have to pull out the battery, i thought its because my phone is rooted. So, i searched on the internet about how to bring my nexus to stock factory rom, i found this thread to be helpful http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895 , so i followed all the steps excluding the last step saying to re-lock the bootloader... and downloaded this factory image from google Factory Images "takju" for Galaxy Nexus "maguro" (GSM/HSPA+) (with Google Wallet) - Android 4.0.4 (IMM76I), first i tried with the 4.1.2 but it says exceed buffers or something during installation, thats why i tried 4.0.4 (IMM76l) and it was installed on my nexus. It works fine, but still i can't update to a newer version of android, when i got in settings > system updates it shows me the update of around 144mb of adnroid version 4.1 but when it finished downloading, i get the same error, android with a red exclamation mark, and i have to restart...help me please i am writing here with full details about my firmware
Model Number: Galaxy Nexus
Android Version: 4.0.4
Baseband Version: SCO4DOMLA1
Kernal version: 3.0.8 - gda6252b
android - [email protected] #1

and when i go to fastboot mode, it shows this detail:
Product name: tuna

Bootloader version: PRIMEKK15
Baseband version: SC04DOMLA1
Carrier info: None
Serial number: 01498F8C0300600D

Tell me, how to install a stock firmware which can be updated easily, tell me step by step, so that i can understand and follow it easily...
really doesnt get any easier than straight from GOOGLE
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
But, i am really confused, which image to install...i have tried few and they all failed when i try the first command in fastboot mode, it gives me error like exceed buffer size, please help me to choose which is the right update for me...
I believe that the relative error in fastboot is related to the fact that it was not flashed the correct bootloader present in the stock rom downloaded from Google ... following the efrant's guide, step by step, and the order of operations, should no longer give back the error and then allow properly flash the stock rom.

This is not an international gsm device, so the factory images will not work I believe, since it requires another radio, and neither will the OTA update.

what is the solution then, should i sell it? please guide me...and there is another problem that my nexus screen is showing some icons on its background that are slightly visible when the screen is white or anything which uses white color, is it a screen issue? or software problem...?
Screen burn in. A quick search suggests that any gsm image would work on the docomo version (takju, yakju). What does the phone say as far as device if you go into Maps > settings> about? It seems he could fastboot flash everything except the radio..

my platform in maps is: samsung maguro- galaxy nexus
and version: 6.4.0 (#6040015)
gmm-android-google
what about my screen problem. why there are slight icons whcih are noticeable when the screen is white and it shows that there are icons on the background.
Immediately below your platform, it should say what firmware your device is running (yakju, yakjux, yakjuxx, etc.). Im just wondering because i know all yakjus are convertible. But i guess just knowing its a maguro is detail enough. As far as screen burn in, turn down your brightness. I never run mine above say 40%.

Well, when i got this phone, it was like this, i did not noticed screen burns when i was buying it, can i do something to fix those screen burns myself, i dont want to spend money to replace the led screen?
Secondly, help me i dont understand much what is radio or baseband or whatever, i just want to use jelly bean...tell me how to update it, please
Again, turn down your brightness. And you already mentioned the only thread you should need: efrant's return to stock thread. If you don't understand something, keep trying to learn before you mess with your phone.
Hi, I'm not sure if theres thread on this but my signal is lost. two weeks ago i wake up one morning to find my service isnt working,the sim does work on my two old phones so it's not a sim issue. I then found my baseband is unknown. So I searched and found some fixes which are too flash the radio with a new radio through either clockwork mode or nexus toolkit. I've tried 5 different radios all being diffrent updates of the galaxy nexus radio. I was runnung 4.2.1(which i hated) but now I got android revolution HD 2.1.2 and ak kernel and downgraded to 4.0.2(yes the phone is unlocked and rooted). I was wondering can anyone tell me whats wrong before I factory lock it and unroot and send it in for warranty repair. Btw phone was with Rogers/Fido carrier.
Since you've done all that, we don't know what's wrong with it. 4.0.2? You're missing out on security fixes (been talked about a lot lately), new features, optimizations, not sure why you're running it. That aside, and I'm not saying it will do anything for you, you could try GetRil from the Play Store, to see what RIL you have installed, and if it recognizes any baseband at all. Your radio (or radios, we don't even know which variant you have) may be dead, who knows? What's the latest baseband you flashed? What's the latest bootloader you flashed?

I wanted 4.1.2 but for some reason I got 4.0.2 so I have no idea, but I'm going to stick with ice cream sandwhich since 4.2.1 update had tons and I mean TONS of bugs that wanted me to kill my nexus.

... and install the app GetRil. Not sure, but I think you should revert to ICS boot loader.

Hello, yeah I got the app, but it says that they dont match and they show basband unknown compared to ugkl1. How do I get the ICS Bootloader?
