[ODIN] ICL53F (no wipe, no recovery, no bootloaders)

Here is the stripped version of ICL53F.
FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK
Changelogs are not fully known yet, but I do know this is Android 4.0.2 and USB host is now working
Stripped meaning no bootloaders, no recovery (so you keep your current CWM), and no wipe (so you keep your data).
IMPORTANT: No wipe is only if your device has been previously OEM unlocked. If your device is NOT OEM unlocked, this WILL wipe your data !
It does include kernel, system and modem, and it's an ODIN tar because ... just because !
YAKJU (GSM): http://www.multiupload.com/7C78MDUQG9
MYSID (LTE): http://www.multiupload.com/3ZZ79I7057
In doubt which one you want ? ADB the following commands:
adb shell getprop ro.product.name
adb shell getprop ro.build.description
adb shell getprop ro.build.fingerprint

ODIN ?!
The (Windows) software is attached. USE THE ATTACHED VERSION. DO NOT USE AN OLDER VERSION. A lot of you will be familiar with ODIN from other Samsung devices... well, it works exactly the same on this device.
Turn off your device, turn it on again by holding volume-down and power to enter ODIN download mode.
Launch the ODIN software, press the PDA button and select the .tar file you extracted from the .zip file you downloaded.
Make sure in the ODIN program "Re-Partition", "Phone EFS Clear", and "Phone Bootloader Update" are NOT checked.
Connect the Android device with your computer and you should see a yellow box in the ODIN program. Press the "Start" button, wait a minute or so, and your device will be booted with this firmware.
Also see the attached image, which has every box you need to look at circled in red

For both GSM and LTE compatibility ? ?

Nice !
Could you please tell me how to use it with Odin (used to use Odin with SII or Ace but not with Nexus version..)
Thanks for your explanations

Hi Chain fire
First of all its nice to see you on the Nexus section. Don't know what I would have down without your fantastic rooted kernels on the SGS2.
Do you loose root and boot loader is locked again if you flash this 53F?

Thank you

Hey Chainfire good to see you here!
I heard that the new bootloader might solve the charging issue...can you confirm?
Also really would like to see cf-root kernels...used them alot on my sgs1 and sgs2...always the best kernels for me.
Good to see Odin is back too...its the best thing to use to flash youre phone

You will lose root. If you have CWM recovery installed you can just flash a Superuser package through recovery, as CWM is not overwritten by this flash.
This flash does not include bootloaders, and will not re-lock your bootloaders.
(It even appears ODIN will unlock your bootloader if it was locked)

Can't confirm because I don't know. I have only had the charging issue when using custom kernels, the stock kernel had no issue for me.
Not sure if I will release a CF-Root... as this device has a separate recovery partition, there is not that much need for CF-Root... It's still handy though, of course.
Should the bootloaders prove needed and/or helpful, I will release a separate bootloader package so you can flash those later.

Nobody knows.
To be fair, I don't even know which model I have. I flashed the Google provided stock image of ITL41F within an hour of getting my Nexus last week, due to soft-bricking it (yeah, that quick).
It may work, it may not.

Alright then, I'll just flash the provided ICL53F images then...just to switch over to yakju.

Nice to see you here Chainfire. Thanks for this, I will flash it now as I'm looking for a stock ROM, or just stock in its own. I find custom ROM's cause too much battery drain with all the features that are adding.

Thanks but it turns out the new bootloader doesn't fix the issue
So if i flash this with odin then i keep the unlocked bootloader and cwm but i loose root....what do you mean with flash a superuser package? ( i wanna go back to stock for now cause on every custom rom/kernel i get a really bad battery drain )

Maybe the new bootloader fixes the RF interference (debounce time) on the volume buttons (that was only patched in the kernel in the last update)?
I guess someone who lives in a region that had that problem would have to check.

Here are the changes from 4.0.1 --> 4.0.2
Device features
Optimized Mobile Hotspot when used with VPN
Optimized 3G/4G data sessions for faster response times
Fixed an incorrect notification that “data was disconnected due to roaming”
WiFi now automatically reconnects when returning to a known Access Point
Improvements to special visual effects feature when using front-facing camcorder
Visual improvements to the lock screen
Email and Messaging
Fixed an issue where some email attachments would not open correctly
Apps and Widgets
DivX support has been removed and will be supported in a future upgrade
Improved audio volume in Google navigation turn-by-turn directions

Did anyone of you get the Update ota? On the gsm nexus?

I need some guidance

Could someone give me the steps on how to install MIUIv4 on my R800x?
I know that I need to flash kernel, firmware and the conversion zip from the cm9 nightlies thread. I just don't know the order in which I need to do said things, or whether there's another step I don't know about.

You need an unlocked bootloader. After you got it unlocked, flash the kernel, then the rom and then the "conversion zip". Note that I do not have a R800x.

Do I have to make any changes to my firmware version?
I also haven't activated the phone yet so would that affect the process in any way?

Are you on the latest baseband? it's something like 1290_10-03.. that's what firmware you need to be on. Then activate your phone otherwise it will give you a huge mess of problems then follow the steps above me I'm and X user too so don't worry

So I change the firmware to the latest version and activate the phone. The phone is going to prompt me to update once its activated so I ignore the OTA right?

Last questions. How do I actually update the baseband? Would downloading to the stock .62 firmware work on my phone?

No, you need verizon's 2.3.3 ftf file and flashtool. go to your "about phone" option in the settings to see if you're already on it, if not then there will be a few things you'll need before flashing a rom
Edit: wait maybe the .62 is the 2.3.3 lol I hate cdma!!!

Yakjuxw to yakju

Hello, i want to change yakjuxw to yajku.
I got Galaxy Nexus Toolkit V7.3.
Which options should i use?
3.Unlock bootloader and then 9. To download and flash factory ROM
or something else except that?

Here is the guide that I used.
http://leemn.wordpress.com/2012/02/01/galaxy-nexus-upgrade-to-official-roms-yakju-build/
Scroll down to where it starts talking about Fastboot. The guide was intended to update to 4.02, but it still applies. The file names will just be a bit different.
Shows you every step, every adb / fastboot command required.
Here's where you get the image you need.
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#yakju
You learn more this way. Better than one click methods.

any possibility of hard brick?
can i flash official 4.0.4 or even 4.1.1 over 4.0.2 on phone with this method?

the guide you gave me
says to flash bootloader-maguro-primekk15.img but i only have
bootloader-maguro-primela03.img - another ending, i think thats because i downloaded other rom(only 4.0.4 is on google site),
can i flash this over 4.0.2 on phone? do i have to change other names accordingly?

Like I said in my post , the file names will be different because that guide is for flashing 4.02. It's just that the same rules apply.
Aslong as you have the new radio, bootloader etc you will be fine. Just type the commands to suit the different file names.

I tend to feel the opposite. For someone new to doing all this (very much like I was a week ago), it's best to research and do it manually and learn exactly what's happening each step of the way.

can i follow it ?
please confirm

SEARCH!!! If you can't find the 4.0.4 image on the Google site that's your fault but we're not going to spoon feed you
For reference, though, do NOT use that video guide as you do not have to go anywhere near Odin to go back to ICS. You DO have to unlock the bootloader, though, so backup your data before doing so as flashing a stock image wipes everything

can you please tellme why this video is not appropriate for me ?
i preassume i have the same case as demonstrated in the video
i want to go back to 4.0.4
i wil backup my data

1. Backup your data
2. Download the 4.0.4 factory image from Google
3. Flash it following the guide I linked to earlier
You didn't answer why on earth you wanna go back to 4.0.4 though. Go to 4.1.2 if you have to but why not stick to 4.2.1?

The point is it's not mine but my friend's gnex. He accidently updated the device OTA from 4.0.4 to 4.1.1
He was quite conformtable with the 4.0.4. Thus he requested me to flash the device back to 4.0.4 for him.
I have read the guide in link provided by you
The device is unrooted and not customized at all at any time.
So what i have to do is to unlock the bootloader and then follow the tutorial as given.
Please confirm. Am i right or am i missing something over there ?
Thanks

You're right, but just tell your friend to stick with 4.1. There's very little difference

Hey thanks for the quick reply!
Yeah I followed this guide at a blogspot website.
It had me flash it with WICKED v10. It didn't work so now I just want it back to normal and I will purchase a sim unlock code from somewhere.
I followed another guide on youtube on how to get it back to stock which I followed.
For the most part it took off most of the Wicked stuff but on the lock screen it still says WICKED and there is an icon with utilities for it, So I am guessing it is not completely removed??
I tried using the phone reset function but still it remains??
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!

Take a look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1949687.
On the first post, you'll see the firmware under ***root66***. Click "Show Content" to get the listing of zip files. Under the T999 heading (not T999L), grab the zip file for T999_UVDMD5 - Official JB Firmware - Latest JB 4.1.2 Firmware.
Once you have that, scroll down to the second post - it will tell you how to flash that file via Odin (as well as download links in case you don't have Odin). This will return your phone to stock everything (including recovery) but with Root injected into it so you can flash a custom recovery after the reset. It will also upgrade you to Version 4.1.2.
Good luck.
--EDIT-- You'll need to go to the second post to the part entitled, "How to Flash the Stock Firmware" and the sub-heading "Using Odin".

You followed the Wrong Guide. You follow the Root66 Thread. Since you don't even want your phone to be rooted, you may want to download the Stock firmware from Sammobile.

I did flash with ODIN the stock firmware but as stated it still says WICKED on lock screen and in apps there is a control panel for it. So it is still not all gone. Just want the phone as it came in box in first place. The link you gave me is very confusing. I know a lot about many subjects and can learn quickly, but right now I just need a guide that step by step tells me how to do it.
