Need to downgrade from 4.21 to 4.1 - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I urgently need to get this plagued 4.21 from off my gnex. Is there a downgrade process that I need to follow? I will be sticking with Cyanogen 10 official until Google can employ someone capable of following Q&A.
Thanks

just use the return to stock thread in general and download the older factory images from google.
what is wrong with 4.21? it works perfectly for me.

[HELP][SOLVED] back to Gingerbread. Thanks

Admin Please Delete the thread.
Sorry if I'm posting in wrong section.
Today I successfully installed Leaked OTA ICS update IMM26 on my NS4G. It's great but to my disappointment Flash based apps are not working properly. Some Flash based apps are working fine (e.g. Veetle) but many others, especially browsers, are not handling it well at all. The reason perhaps is that many apps haven't yet been optimized for ICS. I'm addicted to all these apps.
Please tell me if there is a way to downgrade to Stock Gingerbread.
NOTE: I have unlocked bootloader but unsuccessful in getting root because SU works up to 4.0.3 only.
Thanks everyone.

This belongs in questions and answers.
But there's a one click (not really one) restore to stock in this forum. I believe its using Odin.
Just look thru the threads and you'll find the instructions.

not sure why you thought this was development...
But yes you can... Just wipe (everything) then install a gb rom. That is if you just did a cwm install of ics.

u should be wrong , ive seen many roms in developments page but none of them were stock rom
Officially, 4.0.2 is the latest version. Unofficially, there are ROMs with 4.0.3 and 4.0.4.
A 4.0.3 stock from can be built from source code. See the guide. But its not an official Google build as it has not been release officially.

Without open a new topic, can I flash with "ClockWorkMod" or stock recovery the factory images?
If not, do I have to use "Root toolkit"?
Thanks.
Bye!

bad advice!
Search for it, what you seek is asked multiple times. Both in general section and q/a

4.1.1 YAKJUXW To 4.2 YAKJU

Hey Guys I'm New To All This Rooting And Mod Stuff. My Device Is Currently Running JB 4.1.1 YAKJUXW, I Still Didn't Get The 4.1.2 OTA Or 4.2 OTA. I'm Planning To Upgrade My Device To 4.2 Manually From The YAKJU ROM Available In The Google Developers Site. Can Somebody Help Me In Doing This.
Thanks In Advance.

There's a guide here:

Its not rooting or modding. What you are doing is returning it to stock condition. My preference is to use Linux as no drivers are required - you can simply download one file from the developer page, extract and flash.
when will yakjuxw receive 4.2 update officially?

Your guess is as good as everyone else's on that. It's Samsung who pushes out the updates for the regional yakju variants and they don't announce when.

Thats exactly what I've done! Google for yakjuxv to yakju there are several ways...
DL the nexus root toolkit there is even a tutorial inside the program for how installing the right drivers. For me the third manual way was the only one working.I actually changed the yakjuxv to takju and (4.1.1 to 4.1.2) and then got the 4.2 update OTA.

And what did you use for upgrading only to 4.1.2 takju? i think this method is best, since you get 4.2 OTA meaning you aint using a fake version for the galaxy nexus

Hi, is there a way to flash my non yakju gn to yakju without using a computer i e. Flashing directly in my phone. My laptop is broken and I can't wait no more for samsung to update to 4.2.

are you rooted? if so, you can use mobile odin and flash a stock image.
Yup. My phones is rooted. Can you attach the things I have to flash or is it the same as drivers yakjuxw to yakju tutorials

you need to find a ODIN image packaged together in the dev forums.
if you have a custom recovery then just download the 4.2.1 factory image from the dev section and flash it

The odin files are kinda big, you need to do a search.
Or you can download bigxie's ROM, close enough to stock as far as i can see.

Just bought an unlocked bootloader Gnex

Yesterday I bought an new Gnex, white and its specs are: GT-I9250_EUR_XX, 4.0.1 and the build is "full_manguro-eng 4.0.1 ICL23D 285 test-keys" and when I was doing this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895 and when I got to the fastboot mode on my Gnex and i saw that it is UNLOCKED. Have I bought an developer version or something like that?
Not a developer version but locking/unlocking bootloader is easy. Are you planning on flashing any rom's?

Yes, but first I want to put a newer stock firmware, my Gnex doesn´t show any option on it's menu to update so I'm doing (trying) this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895 .

You don't have to update your stock rom. If you wipe and flash a rom it will be the update you are looking for. I think I read about problems rooting the newest version anyways.

I would suggest to install latest factory image from Google site to ensure getting latest radio/baseband version for future flashing of latest custom roms.
