I just got a Galaxy Nexus from the Google Play store and it's on the IMM30D firmware. I downloaded the JRN84D firmware from Google's servers, but when I boot into recovery (stock), there's only an option to update from the /cache directory... I don't really want to do CWM, so is there a method using ADB to apply the update? And if so, anyone have a link on how to do so?
Thanks
There is a way, but it requires an unlocked bootloader.

Okay that would work... I don't mind unlocking the bootloader because I can lock it again after I'm done. Do you have instructions on how to do it?
Thanks!

Look at the update link in my signature. Follow the method that moves the file to /cache

bootloader LA03 from leaked 4.0.4 cdma build, i successfully flashed (via cwm recovery 5.5.0.4 & fastboot) to my galaxy nexus GSM.
NO changelog!
credits to whoever posted it in galaxy nexus general forums, i just took out cdma radio parts and removed toro & radio lines from updater-script.
warning: flashing bootloader IS dangerous! i am not responsible if you brick your phone, it worked on mine, who knows if it will work on yours.. i don't.
if you don't know why you should flash this, then DON'T!
zip md5: adf8cd5ea69e00d99769767a3b9fc630
flash via recovery or extract .img and flash via fastboot.

I meant that people had noticed..or from a Dev who had opened it up for a look. That's why I didn't ask for an actual change log lol usually people notice changes quite quickly such as improvements or decrease in performance

Flashing bootloader is always dangerous, method used is not important.

Thanks for your answers I downloaded it and md5 matches up so should be ok but do you know if this will be OK for 4.0.2 roms?

Bootloaders and Radios are independent of Android version. Go ahead.
Does it matter what bootloader you are coming from? Can this be flashed from 4.03?
Also, are there any benefits of flashing a new bootloader besides it looking different?

They're independent of ANYTHING. Go ahead and just flash.
New bootloader = stuff behind the scenes. Will never know unless it comes from Google, it's like flashing a BIOS.
I have no more battery drop after reboot with this bootloader, look like it have a new battery driver.

Could this have messed up access to the market, does anyone else notice that? Market force closes as soon as I click on an app.

I think I've narrowed it down to that though.. Would anyone have the previous bootloader as a cwm flashable zip? Am at work, no pc..
flashed it this morning ... no issue so far ... also market works :thumbup:

It sounds like i am a idiot, but I am facing a lot of problems on jelly bean (official).
Is it possible to downgrade my official jb software to ICS 4.0.4 official without having to root it?

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
without an unlocked bootloader... no not really. even if you used ODIN, it would unlock the bootloader then relock it.
is it really so hard to type: fastboot oem unlock ?

You can just remove the -w switch in the flash-all.sh script to leave data alone

QUESTION:
I'm on CM10. Should I flash back to stock and then check for the update?
What's the fastest way to do this?

No, I'm pretty sure you'd need to relock your boot loader and have stock recovery

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.

I'm rooted with stock recovery and received OTA. Before I proceeded with the install, I removed the one additional app I had placed in system\apps (I heard any mods in there may prevent successful installation of OTA). The install of 4.2.1 went fine. Although it seems I've lost root. I can no longer mount the system dir to put that one app back. Easy enough to re-root.

Just make sure you back up your internal storage if you need to unlock the bootloader again. I learned the hard way that this wipes all of your data.
