[ICS/JB] Root and Install busybox on Stock ROM - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Flash the zip file provided in the link below through CWM/TWRP recovery to root your nexus and install busybox.
It works on both ICS as well as JB.
I will try to keep this updated as required.

Before you install busy box make a backup first because it changes system files and the when the next OTA comes out it will fail to install

[Q] 4.0.4 OTA for stock recovery (locked bootloader) ?

Hello,
is there an OTA package which i can flash with a stock recovery (my phone i locked, i don't like to have an unlocked bootloader)?
I am on 4.0.2 right now...
No, you need to be rooted or unlocked to flash the OTA package. Just wait for the official one, it will probably be pushed sometime during easter
I'm still waiting for the OTA aswell
I was pretty sure that the OTA process just downloads a file which will be flashed via the stock recovery. So if someone would have this stock OTA package (update.zip) i can just place in the internal storage and reboot into stock recovery. At least on my HTC Hero at 1.5 -> 1.6 it was working this way...must have remembered something wrong there...

Haven't tried it myself (since I am rooted and unlocked) but I recon that you can unlock (and loose ALL your data), root, flash the onetime CWM Recovery, flash the 4.0.4 stock image (by which you will loose root), relock (and loose ALL your data again).
At the end you would be completely stock again. That can all be done through the GNEX toolkit by Mskip that can be found here: Link.
You can download the official Google image from here: Link

that was probably right with the htc hero, also on my htc desire..because the ota package was picked by the stock recovery from the sdcard
but the stock recovery on our galaxy nexus with ics, expect the ota to be on the /cache partition..without root u can't write in that partition, only the os itself can write there

If you are on yakju, root using this method (note you only need temp root, so only do up to step 6), then place the update file from here to /cache and reboot into stock recovery and flash.

Thank you
Btw. it's easier to just root the OS (go above step 6) instead of only go to 6...for the cp command you will need busybox...i have seen "cat" somewhere but i couldn't figure out how it works...but i seems to be that you can copy files without installing busybox since cat is supported from android at stock...

Correct, that is why I used cat in my directions instead of cp, as you would not have busybox installed if you are not root...
I'm still on 4.0.1
Is there any way to force an OTA update to 4.0.2 or 4.0.4 without rooting. Or manually install an update with a .zip update through stock recovery rather than CWM. I am unable to get any OTA updates it says my system is up to date which it clearly isnt.

OTA IMM76I from IMM76D cwm problem !!!!!

I have root and un-lock my Galaxy Nexus today and flash IMM76D which is download from Google developer page (https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images)
after finish all the step and updated to Android 4.0.4 Google official rom, I have received Android 4.0.4 System Update by OTA, and ask me reboot the phone !
after rebooting, Build number is updated to IMM76I. and the Baseband version is I9250XXLA2.
But I can not go into CWM anymore after updated by OTA. that's it is normal case......????????????
why un-root after updated by OTA ???????
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Your meant to pull the battery out when your flashing the ROM .. geeeez some people don't read instructions anymore!
Remember! Pull your battery out whilst flashing!
Rename the OEM recovery restore file, reflash CWM recovery, and you should be good to go.
Gnex toolkit should help, if you don't have it already.

Everything is in the OTA update instruction thread...
efrant said:
Notes:
6) As with all stock updates from Google, these updates will change the permissions on the su binary so, in effect, you will lose root (for those who have it). Install supercurio's OTA Rootkeeper BEFORE you do all this, or, for those with an unlocked bootloader or CWM installed, just re-flash ChainsDD's Superuser zip file found here in CWM, or manually change the permission via ADB (mount the system and chmod 4755 /system/bin/su) while booted in CWM.

efrant said:
Notes:
5) For those of you that don't know, there are two files that re-flash the stock recovery on every boot (/system/recovery-from-boot.p and /system/etc/install-recovery.sh). You need to make sure that these files are either deleted or renamed, or else CWM will disappear when you reboot. These files serve no purpose other than re-flashing the stock recovery on every boot. So, if you've recently gotten an OTA and applied it, your CWM is gone...

will rooted JB get OTA?

i just want to ask if anyone can answer me?
i have a rooted yakju JB 4.1.1 JRO03C, with installed CWM touch, can i still receive OTA updates from google, when updates are again pushed later on?
You will receive the OTA. but will not be able to install since you are not on Stock Recovery.
You could however get the google OTA update link(will be updated in this thread Thanks to Efrant ) and use Clockwork mod's install zip from sdcard to install the update(remember to delete recovery folder inside the archive,to maintain CWM mod).
And you are done!

How can i delete recovery folder inside the archive?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
You can easily just flash back stock recovery using fast boot or toolkit by getting the stock recovery image from the downloaded ota jb update zip when the time comes to update if you need to go from cwm back to stock recovery.

Open the ota update zip on your gnex wherever you have it stored on your phone an delete the recovery folder in it using es file explorer or whatever file manager you use, then apply the ota update zip with cwm so it doesn't install the stock recovery an just keeps your existing cwm recovery when your next update.

[How To] Install OTA and root.

I've seen and answered this question quite a few times so I thought I'd just write down the procedure once so everyone can find it.
So you want the latest OTA and want it rooted but you have no idea how to get there? I can help.
Prior to yesterday I was running rooted stock with TWRP recovery. The OTA failed of course.
In order to install it and root I did the following.
1) install rooted stock image via odin (found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426) This re-nstalled stock recovery.
2) install and run voodoo ota root keeper from the play store to preserve root.
3) took OTA download and let it install
4) ran voodoo OTA rootkeeper to restore root again
5) Install goo manager from play store
6) install twrp via goo manager
7) made a rooted stock nandroid backup.
The above procedure didn't wipe any of my data or settings because I came from rooted stock to begin with. I just used odin to restore the recovery and missing bloatware..
Hope this helps

If you've disabled or uninstalled stock at&t and Sammy apps (like Flipboard, clocks, etc.) the update will fail. You need to enable/reinstall stock apps.
Hi, I used Voodoo Root Keeper to regain root. However, in my device status it is now saying modified instead of normal. How can I fix that?
You can't. Don't worry about it.

It looked like reflashing the rooted stock rom did reinstall the bloat I removed.

There's a much easier method to get root back after the update.
Flash CWM/TWRP
Flash the file I attached below.
Install Busybox from market
Reboot
Done deal
It does work. I tested earlier today from G1 stock unrooted. Pulled and installed the update, flashed CWM. Flashed the attached file, busybox download and profit. Then used gooomanager to change to TWRP
Here's the original site I read about this method way back when...
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/easy-guide-root-att-galaxy-s3/
Gunny's method does work, just giving another option
OP guides worked for me. Thanks

Yes, it does work. Get a custom recovery back (CWM) and flash the file I attached in my earlier post. Saves the time from flashing a stock rooted ROM and going from there as a starting point.

[GUIDE] CWM-flashable AT&T UCALH9 OTA

I've put together a zip file with the I747UCLH9 AT&T OTA update that can be flashed using CWM/TWRP. This file
preserves root
does not include the Google search update (so you can keep universal search if you want it)
does not wipe /data
does require removing all themes and modifications
Standard disclaimer: I am not responsible if this bricks your phone, destroys your IMEI or kills your kids.
Prerequisites: You have to be on stock I747UCALG1 for this to work. It may be rooted, but all the standard AT&T and Samsung bloatware must be there with no modifications. It's okay if some of the apps are frozen with Titanium Backup. You must not have any other mods or themes applied. The updater will check this stuff and abort if anything is wrong. I personally restored a nandroid backup I made right after rooting. If you didn't make one, you can use Odin and the instructions here to go back to stock.
To apply it:
Boot into recovery and make a nandroid backup.
Go back to AT&T UCALG1 rooted stock if necessary (see above). If you're already on stock UCALG1 but have framework-res.apk modications applied, you can flash this zip to restore framework-res.apk to UCALG1 stock.
Make sure CWM recovery from clockworkmod.com or TWRP is installed. The recovery from Team Epic will not work.
Put one of the zip files from below on your internal or external SD card.
Boot into recovery
Flash the attached zip
Wipe cache and dalvik cache (optional?)
(Optional) Go to Backup and Restore, Advanced Restore and restore the /data from the nandroid backup you made in step 1. If you used a nadroid backup in step 2, this should restore your data and apps. If you used Odin to flash the rooted UCALG1 image, this step isn't necessary.
Reboot
Open Settings / Application Manager. Choose All tab. Click on AT&T Software update. Clear "Clear data". If you were getting OTA notifications before, this will prevent them from recurring. After doing this, your phone will know it's up-to-date.
This worked for me. I checked that my flash counter is still at 0 and Google search is still finding local stuff like apps. I still have root.
Here's an alternative way to apply the OTA that doesn't require having stock UCALG1 installed first:
Download all the files in the PIECES section below.
Go into recovery and flash them all before rebooting. Make sure you flash the kernel file after the ROM file.
DOWNLOADS:
I747UCALH9_OTA.zip: This is the full OTA, with kernel and bootloader. You must be using the stock UCALG1 kernel for this to work. MD5: dabaddcfadd250e8389fe387cd3a9ba2
I747UCALH9_OTA_no_kernel.zip: This is the OTA without the kernel. You can use this if you're already running a non-stock kernel. MD5: 7e304f087f7d3e2096c7e30f745df38c
I747UGLH9_OTA_no_kernel_bootloader_modem.zip: This is the OTA without the kernel, bootloader, or modem. It's just the ROM updates. MD5: 6602fd89a3b49db1ab9128c9d9725812
MODS:
This process requires the stock framework-res.apk, so at this point you'll need to reapply any mods you already applied. Here are some mods that I've rebuilt against LH9. All are zip files you can apply through recovery.
Tether and Cell Standby Fix: This includes the mod to enable native Bluetooth and WiFi tethering from here and the fix for the incorrect reporting of Cell Standby time from here.
No Increasing Ring: This removes the increasing ringtone volume. The mod is from here.
No Increasing Ring + Call Recording: This is the same mod as above but with call recording enabled, as described here.
Remove Wifi Notification: This removes the Wifi notification when connected to Wifi. The mod is from here.
15 Toggles in ICS blue: Customizes the toggles in the notification bar. The mod is from here. You can replace the system/framework/lidroid-res.apk file in this zip with any one of the various themed versions on XDA if you want a different look.
15 Toggles in ICS blue - no brightness bar: The same mod as the one above, but also removes the brightness bar from the notifications drop down.
Extended Power Menu: Adds three choices to the Reboot option in the Power menu: Reboot, Recovery, and Download. The mod is from here.
PIECES:
Bootloader: This zip installs just the LH9 bootloader. MD5: 750ce5b2d0fd4476998a8b9e8194c26a
Modem: The modem can be found in this thread.
ROM: This zip installs a complete rooted copy of the LH9 ROM. Unlike the OTA zip above, it does not require that an unmodified LG1 ROM is already installed, but it is much larger (700 MB). You can flash this and all the other pieces in this section to flash an entire LH9 installation. MD5: 1df5aa24f2fe8fd65299a86f050da947
Kernel: This zip will install just the LH9 kernel and associated kernel modules. MD5: 62475e6701aac016732fb0d7d4b781db
TROUBLESHOOTING:
If the zip file aborts with an error, it's most likely because one of the files it wants to patch has been modified from stock LG1. The OTA is not a complete ROM but is a set of binary patches to the LG1 files, so the files it wants to patch must be unchanged from LG1.
The zip file checks that the files are unmodified before proceeding and prints out the first modified file it finds if something is wrong. If something does wrong, read the error message because it will tell you want the problem is. If you want to post to this thread, include the full error message in your post. This normally includes the string "assert".

Great work! Before I give it a try, I wanted to ask if the mods are also rebuilt against LH9. It doesn't seem so from the description, so I wanted to make sure before I decide to give it a go. Thanks.

Why? Just restore your nandroid from LG1 (you have one, right?) or ODIN back to LG1, then apply the OTA. The OTA is a patch against LG1, so it can't be applied on top of LH1. If you refuse to go back to LG1, you'll need to wait for AT&T to release the full LH9 ROM as an Odin file.

Probably not, because the OTA is a patch for LG1 and is not complete. You're best bet is to go back to LG1 and then apply the zip.

In addition to the ROM, the OTA also updates the modem, kernel, and bootloader. The modem is already available in the modem thread. I will eventually make a zip with the kernel and can also make one with just the bootloader if anyone's interested.
To answer your question, if you go back to LG1, flash the OTA, then reflash your custom ROM, you will have changed the modem, kernel, and bootloader but not the ROM.
no i dont have a lg1 backup as i never installed lg1 to my phone just went direct from the originally release firmware or whater to lh1

Yes, you're right. If you follow all the steps, you'll first go back to LG1 regardless of what ROM you're on now. Sorry for the confusion.
Thank you! Upgraded successfully.
Worked fine for me. Only additional step is that I had to restore root using the Voodoo OTA app. So I would recommend that anybody who wants to install this update install Voodoo OTA restore first and backup their root access before they flash this.
Edit: BTW I used TWRP 2.2.2 recovery which did not work before when I tried to use the downloaded OTA.

That should not be necessary, although it won't hurt. I did not do anything special to preserve root and did not lose it.
I modified the original OTA upgrade script so it keeps the correct permissions on the /system/xbin/su binary, which should be all that's necessary.

It's quite possible that I had temporarily disabled root while I before I flashed this update, so it may not be necessary to back up root. Might not be a bad idea, though.
Failed Update
I had rooted my phone using mskip's QCom Toolkit. I used the ALLINONE rooting option, which should be stock with root.
Tried to run the OTA update and failed as expected, but when I tried using the CWM flash method as the OP described, it fails with error "assert failed: apply_patch_check". Not sure if mskip's rooting method makes any modifications to stock. I tired using Voodoo OTA to temporarily disable root, but still same issue.
Current baseband is I747UCLG1
Any pointers? Thanks
What if i have added Google Wallet will i lose that.
I have stock I747UCALG1 Phone Rooted with tether added and Google Wallet. if i use above process will i be fine? I dont want to loose Google Wallet.
I know i have frozen some bloat apps but not sure if i removed any i may have will that mess it up?

I made a kernel zip for myself, so here it is. I successfully used it to return to the stock kernel after installing the ktoonsez kernel. Perhaps somebody else can make a better kernel zip. I just did
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7 of=boot.img, dropped that into ktoonsez's installer, swapped in the stock modules, removed his custom app and init.d stuff, and re-zipped it. It works.
The reason was to avoid having to do a full nandroid restore if ktoonsez's kernel didn't work for some reason. I have no reason to think it won't work, I just always make backups.

I don't know much about how Google Wallet is installed, but I suspect you will lose it. I think I read in the other OTA thread that Google Wallet was not applying for people on LH9.
Also, you won't be to apply my zip if you have the tether modification installed. All modifications have to be removed -- you must be on stock LG1. You can apply the tether mod in the OP after you updated to LH9 if you want. I'm not sure about Google Wallet, though.

The error I get is right after "Verifying current system"
assert failed: apply_patch_check("EMMC: /dev/block/mmcblk0p7 : 5712128 : fb95a5d43d651be3972f96e8d6d2eb181a9fc66b : 5703936 : c1662e87c5d06b735cb46b9673876727f65cb48b","fb95a5d43d651be3972f96e8d6d2eb181a9fc66b")
