How to go from rooted to unrooted jellybean? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I use a friends account. I dont know much about rooting etc and iäve tried to google some info but i get nowhere..
Can someone explain to me how to do it from aokp-maguro-build 27 to jellybean?
I know its a worthless post to many here. But not for me. So i hope you can have some patient with me.

Do you need no root, or do you just want a stock ROM without customizations?
Edit: If you want stock everything the gnex toolkit is a good place to start.

If you just want stock Jelly Bean you can download the stock image from here:
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
Obviously this will be 100% stock, no root or customisations. You CAN still root though.
If you want AOKP Jelly Bean you have to wipe and flash. Use something like clockworkmod to wipe and flash the latest AOKP JB Build. Still experimental though.
In any case, copy off your data as you are going to wipe in any case. Restoring the factory image !!ALSO WIPES THE SD CARD!!

Just a really simple way to unroot your device:
- Download the GNex toolkit (sticky thread)
- run it and choose the unroot option
- read and do the steps which a displayed
- finish

Okey, thanks i will try it. its just that i dont know much about it and i think my phone is **** with root. It freezes and stop working/rebooting quiet often. which is to me a big problem. So i just want stock jellybean and nothing more =)

You are using a really old AOKP ICS Build (27) and you are wondering about issues?
Not really?!
Root isn´t the reason of your reboots/freezes.

If you want stock Jelly Bean, follow the instructions here. They are step-by-step and n00b-friendly.

You can't just flash the factory images from recovery like any other rom. They should be flashed from fastboot using usb(the hardest part is making the drivers work).
When the drivers and fastboot work, all you need to do is run the following commands:
"fastboot flash bootloader <name of bootloader.img here>"
"fastboot reboot-bootloader"
"fastboot flash radio <name of radio.img here>"
"fastboot reboot-bootloader"
"fastboot -w update <name of zip-update-file included>"

If you want to do it in recovery, you can use the files I had posted here to flash IMM76I and update to JRO03C using the instructions here. (I haven't had a chance to pack up the JB files for CWM-flashing).
But I would suggest this method I had posted earlier.

The flash-all.sh script included with the Jelly Bean download has all the required commands and in what order they should be done. Pretty simple really. Even if you are running Windows it should be pretty straight forward to follow.

I was just checking things out after I just woke up and tried this forum for the first time. I might have cluttered up things since I tried Wugfresh kit 1.5.2 first that didn't work, then tried skip's toolkit, that seemed to work but i might have to wipe all my cache maybe and davlik cache too? I'm unlocked and rooted but i can't get past long boot up jellybean x screen. I was patient like 30 minutes. Not sure what to do i have ROM Manager app, Titanium Back up app, busybot and connect bot. amI trying to many different things?

The OP has a Verizon device. Therer is no JB factory ROM, so the commands that you refer to won't help him. He just needs to flash CWM, download whatever custom JB ROM for Verizon that he wants, and flash it in CWM.

[FASTBOOT][GSM][4.1.2] Rooted Factory Images

I have modified the Yakju Galaxy Nexus factory images by completely wiping my Nexus, restoring using the factory images supplied by Google, rooting them and repacking the images with root intact.
After trying so many ROMs that are available, sometimes I think, especially considering the latest releases from Google, that stock is the way to go. Flashing it using these images is my preferred method, being the cleanest, and I have provided these for your convenience as I haven’t seen them anywhere else only ever seen flashable ROMs (i.e. from Recovery) based on the factory images, etc...
These are:
Factory Images “yakju” for Galaxy Nexus “maguro” (GSM/HSPA+)
Android 4.1.2 (JZO54K) with SU binary only
Android 4.1.2 (JZO54K) with SU binary and SuperSU app
Download links are here. MD5 and SHA1 sums are listed so you can check the downloads.
You have to use Fastboot to flash these to your device. The only requirement is that your device's bootloader is unlocked, which you can easily do, but be warned that this will wipe your user data as will flashing these factory images.
To Unlock Bootloader (in the terminal):
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
Unzip the factory image and just run the flash-all.sh in a Linux terminal or flash-all.bat in the Windows command line.
thanks 'mate! I'm gonna try this out in a bit last time I was on stock was still 4.1.1, and my current custom ROM is still on that version.
What are actually the differences of 4.1.1 and 4.1.2? Just thought you had any idea.. :cyclops:
In 4.1.2 I've noticed better battery life like others have reported and notifications can now be expanded and shrunk if you hold on them and drag up and down.

It would be really helpful if someone could help how to install this using a Mac?
Now that's more like it:good: People should start using fastboot more often other than toolkits:good:Learn to install drivers on your computer. Thanks for posting :highfive: I just hope people take the time and learn it..

Hey, thanks for the links, just want to ask, if I'm already rooted and unlocked my bootloader, if I flash this via fastboot, will it erase my apps/internal memory/photos and such? Quite curious it's just the unlocking the bootloader that deletes all data. Will like inquiries. Thanks!

If you just run the script as is, it will wipe everything. The best thing to do is just flash the system.img if you want to retain your data.

[Q] Revert to stock without USB

I have been having issues with my phone not charging and being recognized in my PC. I have tried everything I can think of to fix it without success. At this point I need to send it back to Verizon, but I am currently running AOKP. So I need to revert it back to stock before I can send it.
Since the phone is not being recognized, ADB is not an option. I have tried using Mobile Odin Pro, but with v3.45 and 3.50, I get this error when I try to flash the factory image from Google: "An error occurred extracting the update script"
Any ideas how I can revert back to stock?
There ARE other ways to do it. Read the stickies.
For odin, you need compatible images with ODIN, which is not supported by Google/Samsung (just be reminded of that); the ones we get from Google are to be flashed with fastboot.
Quick tip: i believe you need to relock bootloader with the app before going back to stock completely (since you'll loose root).

I looked at all the stickies, and I can't find anything. Am i just missing it?
this may be a shot in the dark but I had a problem with my usb port not working on my gsm gnex, and thought i needed to send it in to sammy. Then i found a thread where a guy talked about pushing the tip of a razer blade(carefully) in between the tab in the middle of the usb port and the rear of phone. I tried it and since have had no charging problems. As a matter of fact I had forgotten about it until reading this thread.
Or mabye someone with a verizon gnex can upload a stock nandroid for you. As for bootloader unlocked..

Really, all you need is flashable radio image, flashable bootloader image, stock zip file from Google, and custom recovery (such as Clockworkmod or twrp)

Restore factory (unroot, stock recovery) without USB connection
I've read through all the threads that I can find on this an other forums regarding this challenge. Basically I have an locked bootloader rooted Galaxy Nexux Toro that has a slightly tweeked rooted JRO03O system and the Jelly Bean bootloader.
I want to restore stock recovery and stock system but the USB port is totally fried. (It actually smoked last time I plugged it in).
I have Odin Mobile Pro downloaded and a tarball for 4.0.4 (VzW-PDA-ODIN-I515EL03_ICL53F_signed.tar) ready to inject using ODIN. However I'm afraid to go ahead with this because I've read that ICS can't handle the Jelly Bean bootloader that is on my phone. As far as I see it I have 4 options:
1. Go ahead and flash the ICS tarball and hope that it works with the JB bootloader but potentially be screwed if it messes up the recovery partition with no way to reflash it as I have no USB.
2. Use the tarball that was in the google release mysid-jro03o-factory-f17426e6.tgz that the toolkit extracted when it unpacked the tgz (it's called mysid-jro03o-factory-f17426e6.tar and the toolkit pulled it from the tgz along with the zip and all the other bits and pieces)
4. Flash the tarball that I created using the GNex toolkit (Wug's) that I made using the img files for system, recovery, kernel and userdata that I pulled out of mysid-jro03o-factory-f17426e6.tgz after allowing the toolkit to unpack the TGZ
4. Try and reflash the ICS bootloader and hope the phone reboots ok into my current ROM and allows me to flash the ICF53F tarball using ODIN.
Any advice on which of these options (or another not listed) stands the best chance of success from those more knowledgeable would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

True, only earlier versions support older bootloaders, not the other way round. Some of it could work, maybe doesnt boot at all (it may be a bit extreme for the device not to, but maybe there's the chance.)

Not sure how to flash ICS bootloader on the phone... I assume you're relying on Odin Mobile for this task? Anyways, if you manage to do it, then go ahead and use odin again to restore to factory.

Yes, just return the device. Its got a freaking bad usb port. Even if they can see you modded the rom/updated system etc, and they give you trouble, just ask them to restore the device to its factory state, without USB!! "It's a developers phone people!!!" Personally, i think they will only look at unlocked/locked boot screen.

[Q] Issue with 3G/LTE Connection After ROM Flash

Long time lurker, first (maybe second) time poster.
I'd really like to mess around with my phone's potential, but every time I flash a custom ROM I lose all data connectivity. 2g/voice works fine, but 3G and LTE are out the window.
Here are a few things I've tried AFTER flashing to a customer ROM. I come from years of using HTC phones and software, so I'm definitely fumbling around in the dark here. Please, excuse me if I sound ridiculous.
- I'm on Sprint
- Flashed radio zips in recovery (various ones from reading other threads)
- Used Odin to flash radio files (various ones from reading other threads)
- Repeatedly attempted to update Profile and PRL with error messages saying I couldn't update them and to call customer service
I'm not really sure what else to put up here or to try. I'm hoping the great XDA can help out! Again, I only loose data connectivity after flashing a new ROM. Unlock and root do not effect radios, and I'm able to use the phone just fine on stock software.
Attached is a screenshot of my stock build.
Thanks,
Brandon
I am a little baffled that after 150 views, no one else on this board has shared a similar experience. While its remotely possible, there is just no way I am the only one to have had this issue.
Also... shamless self-bump,.
you are flashing a sprint rom correct?

I'd hope so. I've gotten them all from the Sprint section of the GN forum here on XDA.
i would try flashing the factory images for sprint with fastboot and not odin. this may help more in making sure you have the exact radio/etc you need.

So, here's my order of operations here...
1) flash factory image with fastboot
2) install custom ROM
3) ???
4) Profit?
I mean, if there are other steps, I'm sure I can figure them out. So, I'm assuming that there is typically no need to do anything to the radios after installing a ROM?
after flashing the stock images (all of them, dont leave any out just to be sure) youd need to flash the custom recovery and then you can install the custom rom.

Sorry, but when you say all of the stock images, what do you mean? What other stock images are there?
And wait, sorry, there's something I didn't mention. I've been using the GN ToolKit for a lot of this. How do I push the stock image you linked me to using fastboot? I'm familiar with using ADB and all that, but I have no idea what to do without a guide. I certainly am not a programmer, just an enthusiast.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895 - follow the steps similar to the verizon version, except make sure you download the mysidspr image from the google website.
flash every image. bootloader, radios (note there are 2 with the CDMA versions), system, userdata (copy your SD card off before you do this as it will wipe the phone) boot. do not skip anything.

Alright. Two hours later and after all that... same result. No matter what I do, booting to any custom ROM does not allow me to access 3G/LTE. Should I just give up? lol
Alright, I've been doing some research and apparently I need my phones unique MSL codes to enter in after I flash a new ROM. Any suggestions on how to find my MSL and how to type these codes in after flashing?
Update:
Found a way to get my MSL using a script in terminal w/ root. I can access the data settings menu, but STILL cannot get my MSL for this.
Please help! We've gotten this far!

[Q] So I want to unroot, but don't not re-lock the phone...

what im trying to do is go back to stock so i can upgrade to 4.2
then i want to re-root and get the latest ROM.
any way to do this? if i use titanium backup now, prior to unrooting, can i get my apps/info back?
toolkit the easiest method?
1. Download the 4.2.2 factory image

What do you think happens when you flash a ROM? Why would you need to install a stock ROM just so it can be completely wiped with a custom ROM install?
There is zero need to install stock 4.2 first. That's just a silly way to think.

the thing that confuses me is i think i saw certain ROMs (bugless beast comes to mind) that says use this ROM if you're on 4.2, use THIS one if you're on 4.1, etc.
got a link? because there should be no reason at all to be on 4.2 to flash 4.2.....unless he doesnt include kernels
