Brickable?

Im just wondering how brickable is this device? i got it about 2 weeks ago and i dont have teh reciept ... (bought it LNIB off someone!) just wondering how brickable is this device .. is it easy to brick? i come from the G2x and Captivate with nearly 0.0001% chacne of brick loL but all i do is flash roms .. still this bootloader thing bugs me out anyways sorry if i am asking noob question i did do a quick 'search' and i did see some people bricked it ... but how easy is this to brick really?

Just watch what you flash, make sure its for your device and you should be good.

Most of the time those people flash the wrong rom on their device (GSM on CDMA, etc), but that doesn't even really brick it. If you do flash a gsm rom on a cdma device, you won't get data or signal etc..

also sorry to go off topic.. would you recomend touch cwm or regular cwm? and cm9 or jelly bean? sorry bt im just wondering .. and i can follow those rules lol im just worried like if its brickable coz i had the Galaxy S i9000 and it died from flashing the bell version not the international one

Ive been using TWRP recovery on the I9250 USA version without any problems since I first rooted this phone about a month ago. And I think ICS has better battery life, but then again I've been only using jb for a day now..if your looking for a good, smooth, and light ICS ROM, I would recommend slims ICS ROM.

I personally have touch cwm installed, I'm pretty sure you can still use the hardware buttons (vol +/-, power) to select while in touch cwm. As of right now most of the JB roms are stock, and most of the ICS roms are custom so it's really your choice on what you want.

last question .. i fi wanted nontouch CWM (im very old school dont like the new touch interface personally although appreciate what teh devs have done) could i download Rom Manager and flash it through there? or would i have to flash it from the ToolKit is better?

Either is fine. I prefer the non-touch CWM myself

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.

Hey guys one more question...
when i will get my nexus it will have ics so should i wait for ota updates or flash factory image for jb...
as i want jb as soon as i start using my phone...
Does it download whole stock rom every time i update using ota as it will update in pattern of 4.1.1>4.1.2>4.2.0>4.2.2
so will it take lots of time during ota...
i know it will download only changed files during ota but as it will be changing whole os version so it would be heavy...

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 .

Yes i am sure it will be on ics... thanks i will download latest yakju 4.2.1 factory image when i get my device and flash it directly...
Just to confirm would it need to unlock bootloder to do this..
is there any kind of disadvantage of unlockin bootloader otherthan loosing warrenty( which can be claimed after locking it again)...
and also does locking bootloader also wipes sd-card...
Sorry if these questions are already answered... plz give me link...

[Q] Help with flashing modem on att note 2

Last month I rooted my att note 2 and installed Twrp and the jedi X 13 rom. I noticed today that my wife's note 2 on the stock att rom has much faster data speeds. So I decided to check the baseband version and found she was on mca4 while I'm still on ucalk7. I'm almost positive that this is the reason my data speeds are slower but would like to know for sure. And if so, can I just flash the modem and ril file without touching the custom rom? And also can you point me to the proper files to flash?
Thanks,
Wade

Solved
1st, I wanna thank the mod for moving this to the right place. I had a brain fart yesterday and posted it in the Sprint forums. So thank you!!
2nd, I solved the problem with my data speeds and it had nothing to do with the modem. At&t had my phone identified on their network as a iphone 3gs somehow, so I was never on the LTE network and therefore wasn't getting the LTE data speeds.
However, through troubleshooting this I was able to find the information needed to update my baseband to the newest one without any problems and can confirm the Jedi X 13 rom works great on an LTE network in case anyone was wondering.
I love this forum and have learned a lot through reading and wanna thank everyone for all the good work!!
Thanks,
Wade

Great job Wade!

Hi guys,
I tried to figure this all out. I am on a Samsung Note 3 - i317 - Android 4.1.2 - UCAMC3.
I am in Germany from time to time and need to unlock it. I actually talked to AT&T many times, but those morons are not able to unlock it (seriously!!)! The last person I talked to said: "Why don't you just unlock it yourself, there is plenty of help on the internet". So I take that as a permission to root and flash.
However, I rooted it yesterday and I read that to unlock it I need the J3 modem. Now my question is, can I just flash the J3 modem, unlock it and then flash back to UCAM3 / do the latest OTA update afterwards? I have TWRP on the phone.
Is there anything else I need to watch out for? Please give me hints if I am on the right track.
Thanks guys!!
[EDIT] OK, so I just did it! I flashed the J2 Modem and tried the unlock. It worked! Just flashed back my CAMC3 Modem and everything is great. Thanks to those who work hard on getting all this stuff lined up for us dummies!!!

BTW your not on a note 3 lol

Your rooted phone won't get stock updates.

Hi guys,
HAHA ... yeah, of course I meant Note2 ... :silly:
Thanks for the hint that it won't get stock updates. I actually just found that out because I tried to install the OTA update.
So one last question for now:
I just downloaded the newest H3 modem and flashed it with TWRP. My system info now shows:
Baseband version: I317UCAMH3
Build number JZO54K.I317UCAMC3
Is it normal that build and baseband differ? I saw a screenshot somewhere else and the build had the CAMH3 version as well. Did I do something wrong or is that normal?
Thanks guys for all your help!! :good:

Your fine. Build is rom related not modem man.
Sent from my Note 2 using Tapatalk 4

Baseband and firmware generally read the same. ..unless you flash a different setup. ..
Modem or firmware separately from one another. .
The device won't care unless they are not compatible code. ..
Simply verify the files to make sure they are for this device and your good. ..
And of course you should always read the instructions for the files just in case the developer requirements changed for some reason. ..g

you re fine! Baseband has nothign to do with your build number. Build number generally means what rom base you are on. you re good to go. I think everyone is rocking the H3 modem right now and speeds vary depending where you are geographically but the WIFI data speeds are a little faster.

Thanks guys for the feedback!!
It's working great. Really seems to be much faster on WIFI. I didn't do speedtests, but it just feels faster.

problem to update my at&t s3

hi. i bought a s3 i-747 on ebay this week the version is 4.1.1 i wanna do the update but everytime i must try after 24hours,sinse 4 days i've the same message it's a unlocked phone what i can do to have the 4.1.2 ??? thanks

Root it and put a good rom on.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app

i see that , but when i saw the home screen after rooted i don't like it! it was like the screen of the nexus 4.. i don't like this screen, i like the original screen of the s3... there're no way to have the update from at&t ??? i wanna do the root but i must stay on the same screen not the nexus ones... thats not because its an unlocked phone?

Are u trying to update over WiFi?

yes. but everytime the phone said that i must check after 48hours

You can choose other roms that don't look like the nexus home screen! Try out Cyanogenmod 10.1. I really liked it a lot and it was really stable and smooth!

can you please send me all roms i can install on my s3.. i'll watch them on youtube to see which i can try

Just look at the threads here. There are so many that it is impossible to have a definitive list. No matter what you are looking for, there is most likely a ROM that will meet your requirements. Search and read. One of things about custom roms is that flashing them can be addictive and fun.

This is by far my favorite ROM that uses a stock Samsung look. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2412755

Hi there, I´m new here. I´m from Gdl Mexico. Need help. I bought this model from TELCEL carrier but then wanted to change carrier so I did, to MOVISTAR. Tech guy from this place rooted my phone and installed some crappy firmware "Claro" (this is some SouthAmerican carrier). Said it´s the only one that can work with MOVISTAR for this model. And it does but ever since I did this I´m still running version: 4.1.1. When trying to update, says "device has been modified. Software updates are not available" Kies wont recon.And to make matters worse the "Radio" pre-installed app is gone. I don't want to switch back to TELCEL. What can I do? please help! I´ve tried factory restore,deleting Cache, OTA Rootkeeper, Triangle away etc...Someone help me!!!!

[Q] S3 stock firmware etc problems..

hello,
i recently bought my sasung galaxy s3 from t-mobile (in Holland).
after like 2 weeks i decided to root it and try and install the android 2.3 rom on it.
becouse that did not quite work out, i flashed the stock kernel on it again, and wanted eveything back to stock. but now when i open some apps they wont allow me anything becouse i do not have the original firmware etc on it....
I also cannot do software update becouse it says im running something custom,
if someone could telle me what to do to really bring it back to stock evething that would be great!
if you need more info thenn ask

It sounds like you have the I9300 or I9305. Look under the battery to be sure. If so, you need to go to the forum for that device, as nothing here will help you and most of us know little about your model.
