I'm a noob to galaxy nexus since I just got the phone.
I have unlocked, rooted stock 4.0.2 on the phone.
I also installed cwm recovery and the question is can I install any rom that has 4.0.4 from cwm or do I need to do something else before installing the rom?
You're fine, flash away.
You have all you need.
Just make sure to wipe / factory reset from CWM before flashing the ROM

I thank you for the answers. One more question if don't mind.
if I upgrade to stock 4.0.4, how can I downgrade back to 4.0.2?
Also always do a back up in case you mess something up

You can just flash any stock rom just like any other rom. Not sure why you'd go backwards though, 4.0.4 is much better with fixed bugs and smoother etc.

Hello
I'd like to know if the ICS 4.0.3 version is available for my Galaxy Nexus ? I didn't find it anywhere, but I'm surprised that Nexus S already have it but not Galaxy Nexus. As I have rooted my GN and installed Clockwordmod Recovery, I have to install the ICS 4.0.3 by myself as OTA will not be available, am I right ?
Thanks

Yep you have to install by yourself. I would recommend AOKP in the Android dev section here Good luck.
The nexus s no longer has 4.0.3

Hello, I have backups of stock ibhave made through CWM recovery. I was wondering if my stock kernel .Zip is in that backup. If not can someone show me where I can get a copy of the stock kernel?
Phone: Galaxy Nexus
ROM: GummyNex
Kernel: Franco
+1 +1 +1!!! Haha.
Ohh yes. I was just about to start a new thread. I would really appreciate some help on this also. Or a non altered, pure stock kernel for 4.0.2 and 4.0.3.
Galaxy nexus GSM.
Thanks in advance.

I would appreciate this also. Presently I just reflash the ROM without any type of wipe. Works but cumbersome.
Thanks in advance!

You people need to read xda rules.
Thanks bk.
So in theory, if I want stock 4.0.3, I just grab the stock image from the code website, flash, backup, restore my custom rom then restore boot.img from my stock backup?

Yeah cheers man.
I used this. It reset it. But I don't know the build numbers for stock. Also, I don't know its like a pure kernel or is altered or not, depending on the rom.
Just a clean pure stock kernel. = )
Thanks guys.
Does anyone know the build numbers?

The reset kernel is the same as stock but it may have a different signature. It doesn't affect the functionality but if you want to send your phone in for warranty then you should flash google's factory images in fastboot. If you do, don't forget to flash the new radios for your region afterwards since the factory images include the XXK6 radio.
Thanks for your reply man.
That's true. I spose I'm after a pure kernel for just stability etc. I get funny behaviour from custom kernels and I'd like a pure unaltered copy of the 4.0.3 kernel. That's all. Haha. Hope I'm making sense.

Reading through the forums before asking would be a good start. There are so many helpful topics on the device and how to unlock/root/upgrade the OS. If a n00b like me could figure out how to get from 4.0.1 yakjuux to 4.1.1 from reading on XDA then anyone can. Good luck.

well what i am confused about that there is soooo many roms and radios to choose from and its a little overwhelming because i had not had this many choices since i had a Samsung Epic, and since then i came from phones that pretty much had 1 or 2 roms the stratosphere and droid 4. and i kinda forgot about all the flashing and stuff. does this phone use odin to do it's flashing? i tried google and it says the verizon copy of this phone has a locked bootloader but there is a way to unlock it.
i just want a rom that has a clean,Fast,Jellybean,with root and no bloatware and good radio. something that i can edit the boot animations easy.
i was looking at the Vicious Toro rom and that looks like the best for me, i was also looking at that Gnex toolkit v7.4 is that what i use to unlock the bootloader and flash roms?

Use bigxies it's just aosp jb but rooted and deodexed. Also leave the toolkits to the noobs, better to do it manually - fastboot oem unlock, etc.

Can't flash takju or yakju (which are for the GSM Nexus) on a CDMA Nexus. And there is no official JB update for the CDMA Nexus yet, so he'll need a custom ROM if he doesn't want to wait.

yea i was a little confused on that part because i was thinking this was the toro and those were the GSM devices. i just wanna know what is the easy way to go from Stock 4.04 to the Vicious JB rom with root and unlocked bootloader.
i guess what is getting to me is that there is just so much stuff other there and so many ways to root and flash stuff and i was soo hooked with Odin and then i had to go to the motorola Side of things and did not enjoy that at all. but it has been way more then a year since i last flashed roms and stuff like that
also i noticed there is tons of kernels to use as well with the vicious rom.the faux one looks the best as it has a OC with it

it seems XDA should of gave CDMA and GSM devices there own General forum lol i could of been flashing GSM stuff for all i know
but i think i got everything down for when my phone comes tomorrow. been studying the toolkit and reading about how to flash roms through CWM app and kernels
should i just leave the radio alone or is there a better copy?
You'll find this phone easy to root and flash Roms on. Not easy to brick. Try all the roms . That's the great thing about the nexus, so much to choose from.

I just bought a galaxy nexus from a guy on craigslist. He had prior to me getting it rooted the phone and installed cm9-20120409-unofficial-toro.
I am trying to upgrade to jellybean and I need my build number however it is showing on the about phone screen as IMM76D, however that is a GSM model number and this a verizon phone. Therefore I think it is just because the rom was created on that build phone. He did not create a stock rom backup before installing the rom therefore I had no way to revert back to stock atm.
Is that a correct assumption?
Is there another way to find out my build?
If not do you have any advice on what my next step in upgrading to jellybean would be?
It doesn't matter what build it currently is. If you want a JB ROM, grab one in the Dev section and flash it.

Awesome thanks for the quick responses!
I've been playing with a few of the kernels available for 4.2.x so far and wanted to get back to the stock kernel in between testing kernels out. Also good for those who may have accidentally flashed a 4.1.2 kernel. This is a flashable CWM 4.2 Galaxy Nexus JOP40C kernel. Tested and working on my stock/rooted 4.2/4.2.1 GNex. As always, flash at your own risk.
Thanks to kalo86 for providing the AOSP ROM 4.2 zip where the boot image came from. :good:

Thank you. This is definitely very helpful for people like me who aren't aware that custom kernel wouldn't be backwards compatible.
However, I'm using nexus 7, just wondering how could I extract the stock kernel from the nexus 7 factory image?
(I understand that this isn't a nexus 7 post but I'm just asking a general question on how to get the stock kernel hope that's ok)
I assume this kernel wouldn't work for my device either?
Thanks in advance.

Good question. I will create a stock kernel flash for the Nexus 7 (as I have one as well) and post it up there in the N7 XDA forum.
Also, the kernel is the boot.img file located in the zip for ROMs. You can fastboot install it, or make it into a CWM file which is good in case you don't have a computer with ADB nearby. Link to N7 Stock kernel:

Thanks!
Thank you for ur reply. Definitely gonna save me lots of time!
How do you make it a cwm file? Just zipping the .img file?
Also, I can't seems to boot into cwm recovery without a toolkit is that normal for installing an incorrect custom kernel?

Boot up holding all the buttons to get into recovery. Then flash.
Google for the cyanogenmod walkthrough on how to make a kernel flash. Its a bit in depth for here. Good luck!

The title of this thread states 4.2/4.21, so my guess would be no on 4.1.2
