Hi Everyone,
I'm about to install the new PRIMELA03 bootloader but want to retain a backup of my existing bootloader (PRIMEKK14). Unfortunately, there isn't a downloadable image of PRIMEKK14 anywhere on these forums, so I was wondering if anyone has experience with dumping an existing bootloader? ...Unfortunately, there isn't too much information on this topic either.
Thanks!
EDIT: Never mind.

Why would you want to do that? You can just download the stock image from here:
https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/yakju-icl53f-factory-89fccaac.tgz
Open the archive and there's your bootloader.

Thanks for replying, but I had a look at your link and the bootloader included with that package is not PRIMEKK14. It is instead PRIMEKK15...
PRIMEKK15 is the bootloader that was bundled into the yakjuux (CDN units) 4.0.2 update, and it came shipped with my unit on 4.0.2. So if you are concerned in terms of warranty, KK15 should be good enough to revert to, as it's a bootloader your phone could have received by stock OTA update.

What version are you on and what ROM? Did you install it yourself? Is it a Google or a carrier image.
The bootloader is in the images. You can find all Google factory images here.

He is running a yakjuux build, not a yakju build. All the builds you linked to are yakju, not yakjuux, and the 14 bootloader did NOT come with any yakju build.

So I had a gander at the updater-script that updates the bootloader found in an OTA update file. It uses some sort of command to write the .img file to two partitions on the GN: xloader and sbl. If you really want to dump the KK14 bootloader, what you can do is dump those two partitions. This should allow you to replace those partitions at a later point. I would not be able to tell you how to make an image that is flashable in fastboot out of those two images.
To dump those partitions, plug your device into your computer, and open a command prompt in the same directory as your adb.exe file. Then type the following (you need root obviously):
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/xloader of=/sdcard/xloader_raw.img
dd if=/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/sbl of=/sdcard/sbl_raw.img
exit
exit
adb pull /sdcard/xloader_raw.img
adb pull /sdcard/sbl_raw.img
Now you have those two files on your computer as backup. I will try to do some more research to see how those two files roll up into a bootloader image.
If you find the thread with the yakjuux OTA update.zip to 4.0.2, that's where you can find KK15. Honestly I'd say that's good enough as a revert option because it's what you'd have had if you'd gotten the OTA to 4.0.2.

That is exactly why I asked him what ROM or build he had since I know those are only yakju builds (it are the Google factory ones, duh), seems you already knew he was on yajkjuux. Glad you guys could help him out

There's nothing specific about KK14 that I want (I certainly don't have a warranty with my device). I just merely want a copy for my archival purposes.

I can't remember the specific one (prob yakju IMM76D from ICL53F), but any OTA package that has a bootloader inside will show you how it flashes it.
As for dumping, given that we know that the bootloader image is written somehow split between xloader and sbl, we know those are what we have to dump. The command dd will dump partitions, so that is what I used in my instructions above.

I have flash an aosp rom but keep seeing signal drops, so I want to revert to stock.

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.

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

Extract the components of the image and flash them like so:

Fastboot flash boot boot.img
And follow that guideline for whatever else is in there (not entirely sure myself )
I don't think order matters but I could be wrong.

yup thats what i did and it worked without a glitch. when are you americans getting the gsm GN? hopefully 4.0.3/4 gsm will be out soon
Or just buy clockworkmod, download your image to the phone and flash through the app. Its very simple. Backup your device before
this is the stock 4.0.2 rooted, busybox and deodexed.
just rename flash-all.sh to flash-all.bat

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...

Hello everyone,
i decide to write this guide and to collect all the future Factory Images for Galaxy Nexus (maguro [GSM/GSPA+], toro[VZW CDMA/LTE], toroplus[Sprint CDMA/LTE])
Once installed them you retourn 100% stock.
This is usefull in case you don't want to wait official OTA or you have to use warranty for some problem or you like a really clean install.
Since Android 4.0 IceCreamSandwich you can't install OTA via update.zip method in stock recovery because is no more possible. If you try via stock recovery you get "error status 7" (this problem is corrected only if you use ClockWorkMod Recovery).
Then is necessary to use Factory Image provided by Google.
Factory Images:
JDQ39 Android 4.2.2 Factory Image "yakju" for Galaxy Nexus (maguro GSM/HSPA+)
MD5 Checksum 2fe041ac195086ef09274204c7e265e2

NOTICE: If you have any GSM Galaxy Nexus (for example european version Yakjuxw, Yakjusc ecc... or other GSM version branded by Samsung) you can ALWAYS safely flash Yakju or Takju images provided by google, in order to get future OTA in time, directly from Google and not from Samsung)
How to install:
Requirements:
-Android SDK
-Java JDK
-Platform-Tools
-Unlocked bootloader ("fastboot oem unlock" pay attention, wipes everything, also your data)
-experience with adb and fastboot
NOTICE: If you never used the sdk, the jdk, fastboot and adb, before installing the factory image YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW some guide here on XDA in order to get sdk and unlocked bootloader.
Now you can proceed to install the Factory Image
On Windows:
1) copy the ecxtracted files (two times with 7zip) on android-sdk/platform-tools/ (this is important, if you dont unzip it, dont complain about "radio couldnt be loaded")
2) run a cmd and moves in "platform-tools" folder
3) write those command:
4A) If you are coming from a custom rom, this wipe your data/cache:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-maguro or toro or toroplus-********.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-maguro or toro or toroplus-********.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot -w update image-********.zip
if you want relock the bootloader (not necessary, only for warranty) do also these two step:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot oem lock
4B) If you are coming from another stock rom (official older OTA unrooted), this doen't wipe your data/cache:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-maguro or toro or toroplus-********.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-maguro or toro or toroplus-********.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot update image-********.zip
if you want relock the bootloader (not necessary, only for warranty) do also these two step:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot oem lock
On Linux, Mac:
1) copy the ecxtracted files (two times with 7zip) on android-sdk/platform-tools/ (this is important, if you dont unzip it, dont complain about "radio couldnt be loaded")
2) run a terminal and moves in "platform-tools" folder
3) write those command:
chmod +x flash-all.sh
./flash-all.sh
"flash-all.sh" wipes your data (it contains fastboot -w update, if you want to remove/change it edit with notepad++)
"flash-base.sh" flashes only the bootloader and the radio.
NOTICE:
1) Instead of ******** you have to put the name of the files you download.
2) somebody is aking why "adb reboot bootloader" each passages. Is not essential, but some people think it is better because you use the updated bootloader, maybe is only a superstition.
PLEASE LEAVE ME A THANKS

In old guide on XDA you needed to unzip the main folder and unzip and unzip the image-takju-jro03c.zip file to to get the boot.img , userdata.img and so on and you flash everything manually
so my question is >> in the old guide when you use Fastboot flash userdata userdata.img << this will wipe everything on the sdcard so is this the case here ? because i can see that useing the command fastboot -w update image-takju-jro03c.zip can avoid erasing everything is that right?

In old guide on XDA you needed to unzip the main folder and unzip and unzip the image-takju-jro03c.zip file to to get the boot.img , userdata.img and so on and you flash everything manually
so my question is >> in the old guide when you use Fastboot flash userdata userdata.img << this will wipe everything on the sdcard so is this the case here ? because i can see that useing the command fastboot -w update image-takju-jro03c.zip can avoid erasing everything is that right?
and thanks of course for the great guide

I never used this guide because is not "transparent", I mean, my passages are the one that Google suggest. That guide is good but there are lots of thing that are a plus and not only using Google factory image. This is the way to use them. The other guide is a plus for advanced users. When you type -w it erases your internal memory (data and apps, this is in theory, I always use stock ROM than I never wiped with fast boot, maybe copy your SD on PC to prevent damage) bye

Not quite sure how your guide is more transparent or for beginners than efrant's is...
I followed his numerous times with no issues.
Its one thing to provide an alternative guide for those who wish to use it, it's another to knock someone elses work..
What's the difference with enfant's guide because I've been using his for the longest time. Is the command update image-xxxxxxx.zip recommended by Google? It's much shorter than flashing all the files individually but I dunno.

Use intuition. Why Google should have done an extra zip to extract when they created the command fast boot update? Why complicate things when they are simple? If you exclude reboot commands you need only 3 commands with same effect!

Not sure what you mean by "not only using Google factory image". Everything I mention in that guide is from Google, except the driver (which is originally from Samsung, but repackaged by 1wayjonny).

The difference between this and my guide is that I have included ALL the steps to flash stock, from installing the drivers and downloading any needed files (the SDK and JDK are not needed by the way) to flashing your device. Additionally, as is stated in the first post of my thread, I have expanded all the steps and eliminated all scripts, so that people can see what is actually happening for the purposes of learning. For example, executing one command which actually flashes four images behind the scenes is not as valuable to learning as executing each command individually.
Included in the factory image is a script that flashes everything at once. Do you learn anything from it? Not really. There is no difference between using the fastboot update command to flash a bunch of images in a zip file, and flashing each image with the fastboot flash command. The difference is for instructional purposes.

Which I believe is better for beginners...
But what do I know... OH WAIT... I used to be one.
Bottomline, use the one you want... or are more comfortable with.
One thing to remember however... if you end up screwing your device up... efrants procedure will pinpoint exactly where you went wrong or what step it caused issues at.

simply they are different guide. My intention was porting my nexus s guide to galaxy nexus and not writing a poem. Few passages to use the images in the correct and simplest way. Then users choose to use your or mine with same results I never said that you are wrong, is only an alternative of lot of ways

Took me FOREVER to get this to work because I had to use "./fastboot" instead of just "fastboot", but it saved my ass! Thanks a lot.

I have modified the Yakju Galaxy Nexus factory images by completely wiping my Nexus, restoring using the factory images supplied by Google, rooting them and repacking the images with root intact.
After trying so many ROMs that are available, sometimes I think, especially considering the latest releases from Google, that stock is the way to go. Flashing it using these images is my preferred method, being the cleanest, and I have provided these for your convenience as I haven’t seen them anywhere else only ever seen flashable ROMs (i.e. from Recovery) based on the factory images, etc...
These are:
Factory Images “yakju” for Galaxy Nexus “maguro” (GSM/HSPA+)
Android 4.1.2 (JZO54K) with SU binary only
Android 4.1.2 (JZO54K) with SU binary and SuperSU app
Download links are here. MD5 and SHA1 sums are listed so you can check the downloads.
You have to use Fastboot to flash these to your device. The only requirement is that your device's bootloader is unlocked, which you can easily do, but be warned that this will wipe your user data as will flashing these factory images.
To Unlock Bootloader (in the terminal):
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
Unzip the factory image and just run the flash-all.sh in a Linux terminal or flash-all.bat in the Windows command line.
thanks 'mate! I'm gonna try this out in a bit last time I was on stock was still 4.1.1, and my current custom ROM is still on that version.
What are actually the differences of 4.1.1 and 4.1.2? Just thought you had any idea.. :cyclops:
In 4.1.2 I've noticed better battery life like others have reported and notifications can now be expanded and shrunk if you hold on them and drag up and down.

It would be really helpful if someone could help how to install this using a Mac?
Now that's more like it:good: People should start using fastboot more often other than toolkits:good:Learn to install drivers on your computer. Thanks for posting :highfive: I just hope people take the time and learn it..

I'm not 100% sure as I have never used a Mac for that but there's a good guide here.
Hey, thanks for the links, just want to ask, if I'm already rooted and unlocked my bootloader, if I flash this via fastboot, will it erase my apps/internal memory/photos and such? Quite curious it's just the unlocking the bootloader that deletes all data. Will like inquiries. Thanks!

If you just run the script as is, it will wipe everything. The best thing to do is just flash the system.img if you want to retain your data.
"fastboot flash system system.img"
