Yes, i am a noob, and yes i did watch that video, but still id like to be 987% sure that im doing everything right.
Yakju(xx) GNex and i would like it to be yakju.
I will do the following.
1) Install the drivers
2) Unlock the bootloader with Galaxy Nexus ToolKit.
3) Download the yakju image via ToolKit
4) Flash it somehow.
5) Once i have yakju(im now confused if i still have bootloader unlocked)
6) I`ll use #8 (1 - CLICK for all) in Galaxy Nexus ToolKit
7) And flash custom Roms.

yes, you still have unlocked bootloader after flashing a factory image, unless you lock it yourself it's always unlocked. After flashing the image with the toolkit you should flash the radio and bootloader that are found in the same archive with the factory image file. You put them in the directory "put_img_files_to_flash_here" that is found where you installed the toolkit and then navigate around the menu and flash them. After this you are stock yakju and good to go.
EDIT: The next step, it you want to flash custom ROMs afterwards, is to flash a recovery using the same toolkit and then boot to it

You copy the radio and bootloader .img files from the archive with the factory image (https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images). You put them in the directory "put_img_files_to_flash_here" which is found in the main directory of your toolkit. Then you have the option to flash or boot image files in the toolkit. Just look around the menu and choose to flash them in the correct places (radio/bootloader).

Check out Chainfire's thread. He posted a no-wipe version flashable through Odin. Follow the instructions there and make sure you download the correct version for your phone (GSM/LTE)!

If you want fresh clean stock then you can do two things:
1) on linux, extract the contents of the tgz package and use the sh script inside to flash.
2) since that's not possible on windows, you could use Chainfire's odin files first and next manually flash the bootloader and/or radioimage with fastboot. You can extract the bootloader and radio yourself from the tgz/tar package or look for them in the development section, someone posted them there.

You can flash it in windows using fastboot, you don't need to use odin for anything:
Extract the factory images
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-maguro-primekk15.img
fastboot flash radio radio-maguro-i9250xxkk6.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader

What I posted does not wipe. There's little reason to use Odin. Using Odin you *can* easily brick your device (Ask all of the folks in the Nexus S forums that used Odin to flash the wrong package for their device).
fastboot update image-yakju-icl53f.zip <-- This does not wipe
fastboot -w update image-yakju-icl53f.zip <-- This wipes (-w wipes)

I think that it depends on how many apps do you have...usually 2-3 minutes max. !
I got my GSM GNex yesterday and have switched to Yakju via ODIN. (Took all morning research how to do that....shows you what my capability level is)
I'm currently on XXKK6 and which came with my 4.0.2 OTA update and I think its killing my battery much faster than KK1 was..Speeds are slower now and is constantly switching between UTMS and HSPA on TMo.
I would like to flash a new Radio ONLY....not interested in ROMs, etc.
I've been searching the most efficient / safest way to do this but I'm afraid I'm stuck without pretty clear step by step instructions.....I know there's the thread about the toolkit here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392310 , but do I really need to get into CWM to do this? Is fastboot the better option, and if so....can someone at least give me a few hints as to getting there?
(and maybe which radio is the one to go with)?
Go into cwm and flash the zip
Okay I've just unlocked bootloader via the toolkit...anyone care to elaborate a little further on this?
i think u need to be rooted to flash the radio
You can use fastboot to flash the radio. To revert to KK1 you can grab the radio image from the Google Galaxy Nexus factory images.
1.) Have the fastboot utilities and ADB Interface drivers installed.
2.) Download the Yakju/maguro/GSM Google factory image from here. Either ITL41D or ITL41F will work since both images contain the same radio image.
3.) Use an extraction utility (like 7zip) to extract the radio image (radio-maguro-i9250xxkk1.img) from the file and place it in your fastboot directory.
4.) Boot your phone into Fastboot mode and connect it to your computer.
5.) Issue the following fastboot command through a terminal on your PC:
Code:
fastboot flash radio radio-maguro-i9250xxkk1.img
6.) I can't remember if the phone reboots after a radio flash. If not you can use the fastboot utility by issuing a "fastboot reboot" or using the volume control and power button on the phone to select "Restart".
Okay,
I just flashed UGKL1 via CWM....I just followed the instructions from the toolkit thread.
Question about the radio zip that is now living at the root of my phone storage...can I safely delete it?
also, (this is probably a dumb one) now that I am bootloader unlocked and CWM enabled, will I still get OTA updates?
You can also flash UGKL1 radio for use on TMo network. This radio was meant for North America. Again u will have to try to search for the best one.
U can use Fastboot mode for flashing.

U can delete it if u want.. u should probably keep a folder on your computer of backups just in case u upgrade again and like the previous one more.
I think u can get updates but it will undo your root and u will have to redo it over again if u wish to flash something else

Extract the components of the image and flash them like so:

Fastboot flash boot boot.img
And follow that guideline for whatever else is in there (not entirely sure myself )
I don't think order matters but I could be wrong.

yup thats what i did and it worked without a glitch. when are you americans getting the gsm GN? hopefully 4.0.3/4 gsm will be out soon
Or just buy clockworkmod, download your image to the phone and flash through the app. Its very simple. Backup your device before
this is the stock 4.0.2 rooted, busybox and deodexed.
just rename flash-all.sh to flash-all.bat

I need to send my device in for warranty. It's from rogers and when I got it, it was not yakju. Right now its unlocked, rooted, and running AOKP, and franco. To put it back to oem state, I'm planning on using Wug's toolkit. That'll flash yakju, unroot it, and lock the bootloader.
My question is whether this method will flash the factory kernel too, if it'll flash the stock recovery, and if my carrier will care/notice that I have yakju installed.
Ok so I got a backup of yakjuux. But then how do I flash this via Clockwork, unroot, flash stock recovery, and lock bootloader? Can someone point me to a thread.
If I send the device in with stock yakju, and locked bootloader, would they void my warranty. Can't I just tell em it came like that. There's no way they can prove I changed it.

Sounds right
Honestly MOST company's will honor their warranties if it is a hardware failure even with unlocked boot loader and custom recovery.

I'm assuming you downloaded my nandroid backup?
Here's what you need to do:
1) Unzip the file to a folder on your PC with the same name as the zip.
2) Place that folder on your device in /sdcard/clockworkmod/download
3) Reboot into CWM and restore the backup.
4) Using a file explorer that has root access, delete the following in order: 1) the contents of /system/xbin, 2) /system/app/Superuser.apk, 3) /system/su
5) Reboot into fastboot mode and flash the stock recovery from the yakju image (it is the same as yakjuux): fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
6) Relock the bootloader: fastboot oem lock

4 can be done on your phone. If you want to do it on a computer, boot into CWM, plug into a computer an use rm to delete the files/directory. 5 and 6 NEED to be done on a computer.

download the galaxy nexus toolkit it can do all of that automatically for you. i had to return my first gnex and it took 20mins to bring everything back to stock. it includes everything you need except the factory image and you can download from google and put in the toolkit folder and it will flash it for you.

Here lies the point of this thread. The factory image is yakju and my phone came equipped with yakjuux.
Was yours originally yakju? if not did you have issues after you sent it back?
mine was yakju from my carrier. if you got your phone from the carrier then check if they rolled out yakju yet. if you use the images from here it will flash everything back to stock except recovery which you have to do after as well as lock the bootloader. flashing using the google images will also remove root. you can also try this cwm yajkuux from this thread

Do you read threads before you post?? The OP already said that his device came with yakjuux. It does not get "updated" to yakju... ever. So the images on Google's site are not very useful to him, now are they?
Secondly, he already said that he ALREADY downloaded my backup (from thread I started) so why are you linking to it??
Thirdly, and unrelated to the OP, the stock recovery IS included in the yakju images you linked to, so your comment about "it will flash everything back to stock except recovery" is wrong, as it does flash it.

Hi. I've searched, but not found a thread about this. I need to bring my phone from yakju to yakjuxw due to warranty purposes.
Can anyone link me a noob step by step guide to yakjuxw?
install fastboot drivers and the files if you don't have them.
http://galaxynexusroot.com/galaxy-n...iversal-guidegsmverizonsprintwindowslinuxmac/
And then:
Download this:
https://code.google.com/p/galaxynex...ame=stock yakjuxw 4.0.1 fastboot.rar&can=2&q=
Extract the files into fastboot folder
Method 1:
and boot your Nexus into fastboot mode then use flash-all.bat file to make it automatically flashing Yakjuxw!
It will wipe everything!
Method 2:
To keep files e.g. Music or pictures...:
You need CWM.
Boot into CWM and wipe factory data reset and then boot into fastboot mode and open CMD and locate to the fastboot files folder and copy/paste these commands into CMD (Command prompt)
Code:
fastboot flash radio radio-maguro-i9250xxkk1.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-maguro-primekj10.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot

But they are all yakju and takju, so that wouldn't really help him achieve what he want.
The solution has, however, already been given, but seriously it doesn't matter whether it's yakju or not. They are all official roms signed with the official keys, so your warranty is fine as long as it's bootloader locked and unrooted.
