[Q] Which rom? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I see a lot of gsm only roms. My phone is a i9020AUCKF1 with old 2.3.6 on it. I've been having trouble flashing a new rom to it in the first place and am not entirely sure what the source of the issue is. I understand that certain roms are meant for certain networks, mine is cdma and I have no data on my at&t plan through it. Rooted and installed rom manager just fine. Just where do I go from here?

You're in the wrong forum.

Happy new year!
First of all you should consider to use the Nexus S specific forum ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=880 ) not, this one which is for the Galaxy Nexus (i9250).
Anyway, there are the official images for the 4.1.2 version, released by google. ( https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?hl=it-IT#sojua )
The procedure to flash it is quite straightforward: just use the simple "flash-all.bat" inside the zip file.
Take a look to the stock rom and than read the forum for your device (you will find a specific cdma sub-forum too) .

Your phone, the i9020A, is Google Nexus S, not a Samsung Galaxy Nexus (i9250).

Sarcastic, are we?
Google Galaxy Nexus was the first device to ship with Ice Cream Sandwich.
ICS first version is 4.0.1, 2.3.6 is Gingerbread, which was never available for this device.
Google Galaxy Nexus model number is GT-I9250.

Advice for yakjuxw people who complains about bugs and wants yakju and

Hi ,
I love stock rom , it sounds like untouched version and I'm kinda streotype person and I don't wanna change it , but there are lots of problem with stock rom , then
What should we do ,
You need:
GALAXY NEXUS TOOLKÄ°T V4.0 ,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392310&page=78
( It's really easy toolkit and it's exe , you don't have to do anything hard or complicating , just install it )
Factory Images for Nexus
http://code.google.com/android/nexus/images.html
Download images here and flash it with toolkit ( it's easy , you don't do anything , just put this file to toolkit , it'll take care of it )
and done , you have yakju version and believe me all bugs ( auto rotate screen , Reboot bug on Galaxy Nexus during music playback , menu bugs etc. )
Note : Sorry for my English ..
Same builds, different regions.
Can't really see your point here..
Both Yakjuxw and Yakju are on the ICL53F build.

Yeah. Exactly the same build.
i just bought one galaxy nexus, but went it arrive a notice that its i9250t, do you know how can i change that to the normal i9250
sorry for my english
The only issue I have with changing manually to yakju is that I will lose all my data and have to set up my 200+ apps again. There is no existing backup that works sufficient without root. Too bad!

You can root without unlocking your bootloader. See link in my sig. Once you root, backup and then unlock you bootloader and flash whatever you want.

Not the same. The yakju 4.0.2 build number is ICL53F. The yakjuxw build number is ICL53F.I9250XWKK7 or something like that, which is a Samsung build. It is based on ICL53F, but it is not ICL53F. There are some difference that may be affecting things.

I would have to agree with efrant on this. Before I had stock yakjuzw and flashed to plain yakju. I compared the phones and the plain yakju was snappier than the yakjuzw that I had.

[Q] [Galaxy Nexus - Wind Mobile, Canada] Baseband deletes after flashing roms, help?

Hello, I just got my new Galaxy Nexus (with Wind Mobile in Canada) and I successfully unlocked and rooted my phone. I tried to flash some roms and no matter what roms (tried AOSP and Gummy just now) I flash, the baseband goes unknown and I basically can't get any service with my phone. I'm wondering if this is is an isolated incident with me or if I'm doing something wrong. Any suggestions and comments will be appreciated. Thanks!
I've never heard of this.. very strange.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
This may sound like a silly question, but you are flashing the GSM version of the ROMs, right?

I don't believe I am. When I fastboot, it says "Maguro" so I flashed a maguro type rom but when I do that, it gives me an error. So I flash it with a Toro type rom, and then it works. But after flashing it with a Toro rom, it gives me the error I mentioned in my opening post.

Toro ROMs are for toro (i.e., Verizon) devices. They will NOT work on marguro (i.e., GSM) devices...

efrant, thanks for the quick response. I'm a newbie at this but my galaxy nexus is from purchased from wind mobile so I'm not sure if it's GSM or verizon device. There was another rom type I saw as well: "toroplus", which I didn't try flashing. Should I be flashing that type of rom or what would should I be doing? Thanks again.

You have a maguro (GSM) device. Only Verizon has toro devices, and only Sprint has toroplus devices. Everyone else in the world has marguo.
The best thing for you to do is to flash the stock images (follow the "flash" link in my signature). Once you are done that, then flash whatever custom ROM you want (maguro version of course).

Thanks. On the google page with the factory images, which factory image should I be downloading? I'm assuming "yakju" but I'm not 100% sure.

yakju or takju, it doesn't matter at this point. The important thing is that it is maguro.

Hey, I finally got around to trying out your instructions. It worked great. Running AOSP now! Thanks so much!

If you followed my guide you are certainly NOT running an AOSP build.

[Q] Returning to factory default

I have recently rooted my nexus in order to get jelly bean. Im planning on selling the phone tomorrow and my friend wants it back to factory. I have the toolkit on my computer but i dont know if it is because of the miui rom I have running but I cant find the build number in order to get it back to default. Can somebody fill me on what I need to do or what Im doing wrong? Below has all the important info listed
Build number: MIUI-2.8.1.7 JRO03H (Not listed on the toolkit)
android version: 4.1
Where did you get the phone? I'm assuming since you had to root in order to get 4.1 you didn't get it from google... is it the Verizon version?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
What country, do you have the gsm unlocked US or the international, or Verizon or sprint? Gsm is maguro, Verizon is toro and spring is toro plus, if you are in the US with the gsm unlocked, our choice is number 10 on the list of devices

Yes its a verizon one which Ive had since day one

It might not be a true factory reset depending from where you bought it (yakjuXX build) but I'm sure your friend won't mind the different build with faster updates from google.

Can you tell me another thing Is it safe to flash TAKJU 4.2.1 over YAKJU 4.2.1??
Read all efrant's directions thoroughly first, perhaps several times to be sure you understand the process. Without CWM, i believe your most important step would be "fastboot erase cache". If you have CWM, there's no harm in wiping cache and dalvik. I would even do a factory reset first to be safe. Yes, there are ways to preserve your data, if you already have any, but reading for comprehension is key.

Your problem is that you flashed a GSM ROM on a CDMA PHONE.
Try and restore with the proper 4.2.2 factory image. [LINK]

Well,I mentioned it's takju, takju is for GSM variant Nexuses!
In Galaxy Nexus Android Development section you see more ROMs for GSM Nexus devices than for toro!
oh my goodness i totally see the error in my ways. i was in wrong section. oh man.

Np. man! sometimes this happens, it's normal!
but check general section and the .zip file to port Nexus ROMs to other Nexus variants,maybe it works and fixes WiFi, radio baseband and so on.
