Returning to stock using a Mac.

Can someone please let me know how to do this. i have search everywhere and no one says anything. they only provide a link but it does not provide step by step nor links to do this. my Gnex is unlocked but not rooted. I would like to go back to stock so that i can update to JB. Thank you in advance.

Well if you're only unlocked, and not rooted, have custom recovery/ROM or anything, you are completely stock. Just unlocked bootloader... OTA has nothing to do with unlocking bootloader. Also root doesn't stop OTAs. Just FYI... Only flashing custom ROM, custom kernel or custom recovery or a change to a system partition stops the OTA.

Ohhh ok... But you're not rooted? Strange...
Anyways, here is the link. Whenever efrant tells you to either "fastboot" or "adb", just put ./ in front of it. That's the command for Mac and Linus

Yes you can use that guide for toroplus (i.e., Sprint) devices as well if you have the images. But since you don't have the userdata image (and therefore you skip that step), you may need to boot CWM and wipe /data and /cache, but only if you experience a bootloop.

So in recovery I have to flash each image? That's the part I don't get.

You cannot flash image files on any recoveries. You need to do those in fastboot mode using command prompt.

That's not at all what I said.
Follow the guide. But for the userdata image (which you don't have), boot into recovery and wipe data.

I finally did it!! If anyone needs help let me know. PM me.

flash this in stock recovery?

I downloaded a flashable zip of dsp manager, can I rename to update.zip and flash through stock recovery?
currently I am running (sprint) stock jelly bean rom JRO03U FH05 rooted (only rooted to flash dsp through cwm) and Ive been noticing data drops for long periods and want to unroot incase I need to go to the store but I want to keep dsp manager and any unroot method I see will wipe it out.
edit: ive found that when I have a lengthy data drop toggling wifi on and off re-establishes the 3g connection. Anyone think they know what my problem is?

No

Stock recovery cannot flash, you need a custom one for that.
As for your data drops: have you tried verifying your APN settings? Tried a different radio?

ive tried different roms, odining to stock, different radios, and different kernels. are the apns just like your "mobile network type",ip address, MEID, etc? thanks for the response.
Edit: So what you say about the recovery means I cant have dsp manager without being rooted? Or can I flash cwm or twrp by just changing the recovery files and flashing a recovery img without root?

Couldn't you just turn on USB debugging, connect to your PC, "fastboot boot (somecustomrecovery).IMG", and use it to flash the dspmanager.zip?
BTW, to unroot, all you have to do is delete "su" and "supersu.apk" (or "superuser.apk" if you're using that).

usb debugging is on by default on custom recoveries, and it's not needed for fastboot as well.

Yes you can, if a flashable zip of DSP manager exists (I'm not sure). Just boot or flash a custom recovery (CWM or TWRP indeed), and use it to flash the DSP manager zip.

ADB is not fastboot. ADB is an interface provided by Android OS and custom recoveries, Fastboot is an interface provided by the bootloader.

Derp... 'k, thanks.

Thanks for all the responses guys. I couldn't shake the data drops on the ota and sprint didn't know what to tell me over the phone so I just backed up odined fho5 complete and data is now working completely. As for not needing root yes I took your advice fast booted cwm, flashed DSP manager then just flashed the stock recovery back.

just one thing: you didnt need to flash cwm, just boot it:
Code:
fastboot boot cwm_or_twrp.img
this way you keep whatever recovery is installed, allows you to try out stuff, without really flashing them.

use adb to transfer a rom to your sdcard and flash in cwm..

You can also adb sideload a rom or use fastboot to go to stock.

He has to go through fastboot to get to recovery.
Also, is the huge ass signature image on every post really necessary?

[ROM] JWR66V JB 4.3 [Flash-able] (Takju) & boot loader -Now deodexed v. is available!

[ROM] JWR66V JB 4.3 [Flash-able] (Takju) & boot loader -Now deodexed v. is available!
Made flashable though Dsixda's toolkit, Thanks to dsixda for that toolkit!
I can't assure that this works on your Nexus, I ahve tested .zip files myself and works well on my Nexus!
If YOU get BOOTLOOP:
Flash another ROM and then wipe cache and dalvik cache and then flash this ROM!
Flash it at your own risk!
This isn't so good flashable.zip so you may end up to boot loop!
Use Fastboot to fix or any other fixing method!
If you don't have fastboot drivers install them from here: (It's for verizon variant, but works on Maguro)
www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SCH-I515MSAVZW#
HOW TO PULL BACKUP FOLDER:
in terminal / command prompt:
adb pull /mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup/
_______________________________________
Installing this ROM:
recommended dirty flash to make this booting!
NEW Bootloader: (bootloader-maguro-primemd04)
Downlaod:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BxlYDVLp_RkMaDQ2Yl8zM2NSdm8/edit?usp=sharing
Flashing through Fastboot:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-maguro-primemd04.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Untouched JWR66V, only made to flashable:
Download:
links removed!
De-odexed and rooted Flashable:
links removed!
------------------

Ohhh yes...downloading now, good job
Initial Review/Impressions:
Install went as smooth as any other flash install. It looks basically the same but the screen transitions are really smooth (note that I have not installed any apps yet, will update when I do). The first major difference you see is with the camera, the interface has been changed a bit and it does look cleaner, all the usual settings are there i.e. Photosphere etc.
I haven't noticed anything else at a first glance but I will keep on updating as I go along and I will also do a proper battery test.
The usual array of Google apps are pre-installed, although now Google Keep is also added, default browser is the regular android browser though, not Chrome. The usual wallpapers and live wallpapers are present, nothing new here either.

Thanks for making this available so quickly

Chainfire himself says it is, also he seems to be a reliable source for this kind of information since he made SuperSU and tested it on Nexus (devices?) himself.

De-odexing.... it takes a while...

No, only risk is that IF something goes wrong during flash you can say bye to your Device :good: I've done this MANY times and never had problems, so... good luck to you (and me, since I'm doing it right now)

Follow the steps to install directly from the Factory Images without loosing any of your data on the SD-Card.

What recovery and verision of it are you using? for 4.3+ roms you need CWM 6.0.3.7+ or TWRP 2.6.1.0

I´m also having this problem. I can't flash any ROM. I went back to stock and tried again with those versions of recovery but nothing.
