Hello,
I tried to post this on developers forum but i couldnt because im new here.
I have a Galaxy Nexus with a Custom 4.0.3 and I can't upgrade to 4.0.4 because assertions fail on install.
I read that i should to restore stock 4.0.2 but all links point to yakju-icl53f-factory-89fccaac.tgz in google android's page but this link is no longer available.
Somebody could help me to get this image and restore my phone Please.

I read about signal problems on nexus after flash 4.0.4 directly. Is it secure?

Download Galaxy Nexus Root Toolkit from the developer forum. Then click 'flash stock + unroot'. the program will download the stock ROM for you and put you back to factory 100%.
Edit: Here's the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1454314

There are no problems, with 40.4. Flash the provided miages (Unpack the tgz) make sure, that you flash the radio AND bootloader first, though! (Then maybe restart, after flashing those (Into bootloader))

He should just use fastboot and do it himself. I'm wary of recommending toolkits...

In part i would agree, however i've been using that toolkit for awhile now and it's never failed me. It's a sticky in the Android Gnex developer forum with plenty of exposure and comments that haven't had anything negative to say about it. Cautious is good though, don't take my word for it - read the thread and see what others have to say about it.

His sig says he has a 9250 (GSM) version. Just revert to stock via the stickies and you'll be good. It's scary out there with all the hackery going on, but we're here to hold your hands... I think:angel:

i tried. and failed. couldnt get the cmd prompt to recognize fastboot.

OK.
Is it rooted?
Does it have any missing apps?
What ROM are you running?
The more details the better. If you are missing apps well that is your problem. Flash a stock ROM and boom. Then update.

Welcome to GNex forum mate.
1. Maguro is GSM galaxy nexus, and yakju is non playstore galaxy nexus, there is takju too which is playstore, the different between them is just google wallet app. You can switch takju to yakju and vice versa easily.
2. Yes, already explained above
3. You can flash radio either from recovery (cwm or twrp) or fastboot command, you can find more info about radio and baseband on sticky thread in development forum.
4. Use aokp or other custom rom which have that feature, there is a settings to set that easily. Other way is framework and systemUI modification, which is too long to explain here.
There is a bunch of rom to flash, try it one by one when you getting bored with one try another one, you will find out what the best rom for you.
I would recommend you to try latest Xylon for 4.2 rom and darkPA for 4.1.2 rom.

I have few more questions...
1. Gnex dosn't supports usb otg officially so if i am rooted and use chainfire's app mount stick .. it will work? Or i need some kernel support too...
2. Can i play 1080p videos in video player... does it lag or plays smooth?
I am very exited... i always wanted stock android rom feel but curse this touchwiz...
Sent from my GT-S7500 using xda premium

1. Galaxy nexus does support USB otg by default. The only thing missing is a proper framework for mounting expandable storage like USB sticks from USB otg, which is what stick mount provides, so yes you should just need root
2. The player will play 1080p just fine, however many audio codec isn't supported so you will want to get a third party player like MX player from the play store.

May I suggest you to flash stock image, you would be set in no time, but are you sure the phone you are going to get is still on ICS ?
I had to do it because of a wrong move in recovery, and now, my phone is acting as fresh as ever, just like one year ago. This phone got better and better through software updates, so enjoy it almost instantly with its newer software version .

[Q] New to Galaxy S III

Hello All,
I just purchased the T-Mobile edition on the Galaxy S III and I ignorantly updated from ICS 4.0.4 to JB 4.1.1.
I want to root my phone. Am I screwed? Please help me I don't want to screw up my phone.
Thanks for any help.

Why would that be ignorant ?
Yes, you can root JB. Even if you couldn't, you could always flash back to ICS if it was that important to you.
Check out the other forums here and ctrl+f "root" - there are guides that will completely walk you through it. I used the root66 root-injected stock ROM to root my phone, it was the first time I'd ever done such a thing and the guide is well-written and goes baby-step by baby-step.

Can you tell me another thing Is it safe to flash TAKJU 4.2.1 over YAKJU 4.2.1??

Read all efrant's directions thoroughly first, perhaps several times to be sure you understand the process. Without CWM, i believe your most important step would be "fastboot erase cache". If you have CWM, there's no harm in wiping cache and dalvik. I would even do a factory reset first to be safe. Yes, there are ways to preserve your data, if you already have any, but reading for comprehension is key.
