Is this just a bad install? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

After I flashed to Jelly Bean takju from 4.0.1 yakjuux, my phone freezes for few moments sometimes when I go to settings->apps
It also vibrates sometimes when it goes to sleep.
Is this just a bad install?? Can I fix this by hard reset? My phone is completely stock except the fact that the bootloader is unlocked

could be a bad flash it wouldnt hurt to redownload it and reflash after a full wipe

So basically boot into cwm and then flash the 4.1.1 zip file, right?

[Q] 'SuperUser' still installed after factory reset. Is this normal!?

After using a toolkit to root my device, i decided to try and do it manually so i can learn more of the rooting process. I used the toolkit to flash the stock images etc, then i reset the phone to factory settings, but the 'Superuser' 'app' was still there. Is this normal, and does this mean my factory reset was unsuccessful?

If you flashed the stock images, that app will disappear. If you just reset your device, that app will remain because it resides in /system -- when you rest, you just erase /data
I did flash stock recovery (i think), fyi im using the GalaxyNexusToolkit. Superuser still shows up...any suggestions?
Did you restore your Google apps? I'm sure that's dumb but could it have just redownloaded?

Flashing a stock recovery won't erase SU. Su is in /system so unless you over write or format /system it won't go away. So make sure you downloaded the proper factory image and put in the proper folder for the toolkit to actually flash. As the previous poster said a factory reset doesn't erase/system only /data.
You have to unroot before you flash anything if you want superuser to go away.

That's not entirely true. Flashing a stock system image will make Superuser go away. Wiping the system partition will make Superuser go away...

That's what he said, but it would seem that he only flashed the stock recovery image, not all the images. Flashing the stock system image will certainly get rid of the superuser app.

Obviously he didn't really do that or it failed, since if he really did flash stock images properly, SU will be gone.

no, he said he used the toolkit to flash the images. it clearly did not flash the system image and over-write everything in the /system folder.
another reason toolkits are just bad if you dont know what you're doing.

nope
are you checking md5 for the entire .zip package or are you opening up the zip. Do not open them. You flash .zip's in recovery. After you download move to your phone. Boot to recovery and flash it

How to wipe clean Galaxy s3 to sell?

OK, so for some personal reasons, I'm forced to sell my Galaxy S3...
I have CWM on it, and its rooted (obviously) running stock touchwiz rom...
Thing is, I cannot just hit the factory reset in settings because it's missing some apps like Samsung services, s-voice, etc.. stuffs that I deleted...
So my question is, How can I 100% Wipe the 16GB memory free of my personal data and perform a clean install of STOCK Telus SGS3 rom on it?
THanks!!!

1) Flash the original unrooted stock ROM from your carrier in Odin
2) Settings > back up and reset > Factory reset. reboot.
3) Turn debug on, and adb shell back in just to double-check that your nukular launch codes aren't there anymore.
And make sure your binary/custom flash counter is at 0.

DO NOT flash the AT&T firmware. Here is the proper firmware for your device http://www.hotfile.com/dl/162304546/3421015/I747MVLALE8_I747MOYBALE8_TLS.zip.html
Once you have downloaded it, unzip it and let me know what files are in there. It should be a .tar file.

It will remove everything and restore your phone back to when you first bought it. Yes you flash it with odin, it will not trip your counter since it's an official package.

One last thing I would do is browse your SD card to see that there's nothing there. I have not tried a factory reset on the SIII, but on the Captivate and probably other phones, factory reset didn't wipe every directory.
See this for the very few directories it did wipe:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1152181&highlight=does+factory+reset+wipe+sd+card
I did a few factory resets (but not recently) and only once do I recall having to copy things back onto my internal sd card from the copy on my computer. Every time I did one, I'd backup my internal sd just in case, do the factory reset and finish whatever else I was doing like a new rom, and then see what had to be put back on. But other than that one time, my Titanium backups, pictures, whatever have still been there. I tried out a lot of different roms on the Captivate and even the "full wipe" versions left the internal sd data there.
That one time I did need to copy it back was I think when I tried out the secret code to do a real wipe. Although I can't recall which it was.
Hope I did the right thing,
I flashed STOCK .tar with ODIN, rebooted phone onto stock, mounted to my computer, formatted memory (the 11GB or so), went on phone, did Factory Reset..
Hope its 100% CLEAN Wipped !

[Q] Safe to flash Takju on Yakju?

I want to get this straight: is it absolutely safe to flash the whole official .tgz file from the developer dot google dot com?
I want to flash 4.1.2 Takju so I can get the OTA to 4.2 (or 4.2 imedeately), but is it safe to flash the whole .tgz file without modifications?
Thanks

there "shouldnt" be any issues if you left your userdata alone, but its recommended you wipe everything to ensure there are no problems.
