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

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

Hi everybody,
Now that the 4.0.4 has been released for the Galaxy Nexus GSM, is there a full (not OTA) stock 4.0.4 rooted ROM with Google apps?
Is it needed to update kernel and radio? I want to keep CWM.
I've searched around the forum but I didn't see answers to all my questions...
Thanks you!

to have the full 4.0.4 stock rom, you'll have to unlock bootloader and flash the factory image provided by google, either by fastboot or using the nexus toolkits. The kernel and radio will be flashed automatically if you use the toolkits as it's part of the image. You can then use the toolkit to reflash CWM
Yes but I prefer a .zip file so I can delete everything that I don't need before flashing the ROM.
Something like this ROM (the one I have now) :

Thanks you!
Download the factory image from google and root it yourself.
If I was able to do it I would not ask for a ROM.
Is there an easy way to convert the image from google in tgz format to a flashable .zip file?

Yes. You can use dsixda's kitchen to make a flashable .zip file from the .img you can download from google.
why not just flash the 4.0.4 images and re-root?
Sorry to hijack, but I've got a question along the similar line.
If I use the galaxy nexus toolkit and unlock my boot loader, then use the option in it to restore to stock. After that I keep my boot loader unlocked. Will I still get ota updates?

Unlocked bootloader doesn't effect OTA's AFAIK. Custom recovery like CAN however does.

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

No OTA yet but I downloaded the factory build yesterday and used it to flash to 4.1.2 without any issue

If you skip flashing the userdata image, it will not wipe.

You can just remove the -w switch in the flash-all.sh script to leave data alone

Come on people search the forums and internet more please!
Google Factory Images for Nexus Devices
Download 4.1.2 (JZO54K) for either takju or yakju
flash required 'img's in fastboot
flash a custom recovery
search for a cwm.zip that gives you root
rejoice.
I'll tell you how to do it but I'm not going to hold your hand. This stuff is far too easy... You've been here long enough. Search next time!

Download titanium back up. Back up all app data. Make sure your on the latest clockwork mod or twrp. Wipe data factory reset flash mmuzzy 4.2.2 rom let apps restore from play store then restore app data from titanium back up and profit.

You can, but will she even notice if its updated? I'd fastboot flash all except userdata.img, in your case http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895
so i can get the system img and boot img from 4.2.2 and flash it on her Gnex and itll work?

I think Titanium is your best bet... After I flash a rom I restore apps and data (not system apps) before I even sign into my Google accounts, it's never failed, I've have backups that I've used since Titanium came out, it's never failed me and I've never had any issues with it...

THIS!
Trust me ANY other custom ROM is usually ALOT better than pure stock, she will appreciate it mor as an update!
Any custom rom will have advantages over plain stock.
I also have a similar question. Is there any way to stay on stock unrooted 4.1.1 and get the 4.2 lock screen?
