please, Does somebody know how to manually flash an update on Galaxy Nexus "maguro"/GSM device without installing CWM recovery?
Is there any procedure like "update.zip" for Nexus One?

I have just find out that on recovery mode, there is an options to "apply update from /cache".
This link show how to do it without CWM:http://blog.talawah.net/2012/07/how-to-manually-ota-update-your-galaxy.html
However, It seems that I need to root my phone to move the update file into /cache folder.
Please, Does someone know how to write the "update.zip" on /cache folder on the phone without rooting it?
thanks in advance
There is of course a method: You can flash factory images via Fastboot mode.

You have to extract it as it's is not flashed via recovery but rather fastboot, refer to this thread. Or you could use the toolkit (which should do everything for you) to restore to stock.

and Eddy is correct about you.
I've just flashed 4.2 on my i9250 and I can't find the files that I used to change name to stop stock recovery from coming back.
Is there any new reversible way to do this?
I'm rooted and I boot TWRP without flashing every time I want to access a costume recovery.
Many thanks

Thanks for the help. But my question unfortunately remains...
Because I can’t find the /system/etc/install-recovery.sh to rename to /system/etc/install-recovery.bak.
Does anyone have the same problem??
Thanks

Did you mount the system as r/w?
if the file ain't there, no need to erase it; if you flashed factory images, that file doesnt exist, only in OTAs

huh... what does that has got to do with anything for reading purposes. RO (read only) allows to read the files and directories.

Thanks for the clarification. In fact I flashed the stock 4.2 image because OTA update wasn't working (not stock kernel).

In the bootloader mode, flash to stock using fastboot command. You may use any stock image from here
Just make sure that you choose right version of your phone.

Bro, it works.... thank you very much..
Hey guys,
Rooted unlocked stock 4.1.1. (JRO030)
Looking to upgrade. Downlaoded the install .zip but I'm getting a failure. Based on the recovery log I'm pretty certain it has to do with the manual upgrade I did earlier to get the 4.2 camera with photosphere working on my Nexus.
Any ideas how I can downgrade the camera first? I can't find the APK anywhere.

Since you're unlocked and stock, download the factory image and flash the system image ONLY via fastboot.

Thanks - how do I flash the system image only? I actually haven't used fastboot in a while.

fastboot flash system system.img
done.
do I need to copy part of the 4.2.2 zip file somewhere first? Right now I just have the full (zipped) download in the download folder of my gnex.
I guess I'm wondering, where do I get system.img and where do I place it so I can load it via fastboot?

if you downloaded the image from google,
untar the image
there should be a zip after you untar it, which will have the system.img in it.
Thanks ... very helpful, now i just need to know where to put the system.img? DOes it go into the same directotry where platform-tools is?

where ever your fastboot.exe is
Hmm the file came as a .zip not a .tar
5939ff985946.signed-mysid-JDQ39-from-JRO03O.5939ff98.zip
I unzipped that and I see
folders (META-INF, patch, recovery, system) and two radio images. Did a search and couldn't find system.img in there.
Copied the full directory to where fastboot is and did the dir *.img in command prompt also didn't find any files.

that is from a OTA zip.
you need the full factory image from here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
Ah got it - thanks. They haven't put 4.2.2 up there yet for VZW as far as I can see. Can I use the 4.1.1 to somehow flash over just the gallery? Will writing system.img do that?

That's exactly what it will do hence why you were told to do that.
^ Sorry on the confusion, I thought he was telling me to get 4.2.2 that way. I understand now. Thanks.

considering you never mentioned you were using a toro device until just recently...
if you had a maguro device, my instructions were correct.
since you have a toro device, you need factory 4.1.1 and then apply the OTA.

I can't find anywhere on how to go from 4.3.1 to kitkat? I am running IOKP ROM. I was going to to download factory image from Google but it is a .tar file, I thought i could only flash zip files in recovery? Any help or step by step guide would be appreciated.

Unfortunately no. You need a computer to run fastboot while it is plugged into your device.

if your bootloader is unlocked, your rooted, and you have a recovery, (TWRP) or CWM) why not just flash a 4.4.2 rom from the Nexus 7 LTE thread? theres a few to choose from. Just do a full wipe in recovery, flash the downloaded rom, and boom....4.4.2. easy like wezzy bro!
Need any help let me know.........
