Is this how to flash back to stock bootloader? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I never flashed back to stock bootloader, so I don't quite know the process, but do you just go on cmd and then tell it to flash to stock bootloader? Just like how I flashed to cwm? I know I might be asking something obvious but I just wanna know for sure...
Also can anyone send me a link to stock yakjuux bootloader? Thanks a ton!

Use the search feature. There's a guide on how to bring it back to stock.
You fast boot flash the stock images provided by Google.

I'm sorry, I was trying to say recovery, cuz if I want to change the cwm, I need stock recovery, no?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

I think you might have some confusion between the Recovery and Bootloader. The bootloader generally doesn't change.. it might get updated, but there really aren't modified bootloaders (to my knowledge). The Recovery is what people usually change. CWM and TWRP are common recoveries, for example.
Both can be changed through fastboot pretty easily.

if you don't know why you should flash this, then DON'T!
zip md5: adf8cd5ea69e00d99769767a3b9fc630

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.

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 formatted the system partition.
i assume you formatted your SD card. so you have 2 choices
1) you download whatever custom rom you want on your pc and use: adb push locationofrom /data/media/
2) you use fastboot to restore to stock.

adding to that, adb only works in recovery. from fastboot, restart recovery, push a rom, flash it. no need to reflash stock images in this situation, imo.

There is the nexus toolkit that has all you need. Its stickied in the sprint section. You can flash a ROM through there.

With android u don't have to worry about anything if it's software based problem. Every problem can be solved here. We've got the best devs here that make everything is just possible. That's what iphone users can't have. They have to wait for apple for every fixes while we don't.

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.

TWRP recovery

Hey Guys, coming from the Samsung galaxy nexus. Receiving my s4 in a few days.
Just a few question to install twrp:
1.Root using motochopper
2. Install goo manager
3. Install TWRP
4. Funfun
Are those the correct steps? Thanks!

I think unlock bootloader should be in there somewhere.

If u have a custom recovery the status will always say custom. Only flashing back to stock through odin will make it official again.

I'm used to my Galaxy S2 I guess. It never said custom. Tried Odin k0ane's stock file. Still says custom. I thought I was going to have to return the phone. It started using hotspot data for all data. I was almost to my 500 meg limit. A factory reset fixed it and Tmo gave me an extra 2gb hotspot data for this month only for free.
What's the difference between custom and official?

Official is all stock factory system. Custom means you altered the system and your warranty is probably void. That's why people try to flash back to stock if they need to get their phone repaired or replaced.
I see. Coming from the galaxy nexus, so much to learn..
Also, where can I get the samsung USB Drivers to do the motochopper?

Take a look ant the N2 and S3 forums - they have threads on returning to stock and i am sure we will see one here - AS SOON as and only when an official Samsung TMo firmware is available.
If you break or brick your device before then you will have to wait before sending it in to Samsung or TMo.

I can't believe sammobile hasn't gotten the firmwares posted yet. Isn't this unusual? Doesn't Samsung usually release the firmware almost immediately?
Does anyone know why that when I download something to my internal sd card and then boot into twrp and try to install it the file is missing in the download folder. Am I doing something wrong? i'm coming from cwm and things are a lot different. Any help would be great thanks
