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.

Hi, I have a Galaxy Nexus i9250m from Bell. Because I am in Canada, I have a yakjuux 4.0.1 build. I want to update to JB. Can I flash an ota update for a yakju 4.0.4 build and then do an ota update to JB? So, my question is if I have yakjuux can I flash a yakju update so that I dont loose all of my data?
If you couldn't tell, this is my first post. :laugh:

The answers to your two questions are no and no.
But you can do an ADB backup, copy that and your files to your PC, then wipe and install yakju JB.
Edit: more info in the basics and flash links in my signature.

So will that wipe all the data off my phone?

If you haven yet unlock the bootloader, it will.

Yeah I didn't do that yet. Can I use something like lookout backup to backup my apps and contacts and then restore them after?

Can I get the ROM directly from Google? I only want to use official updates and ROMs if I can.

That is awesome! The people on these forums are very helpful. One more question though. Do I have to root my device to use that?

1) Follow the guide here to back up your data.
2) Move all of your files in /sdcard off your device.
3) Follow this guide to flash yakju (or takju) JRO03C.
All of your questions have already been answered in other threads. This is a good place to start reading...
OK thanks for being patient with me I really appreciate it.

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.

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.

I've read the thread to unlock and I know I need to get back to 4.1.1 but all the firmware links in the "all in one" thread and the referring website are invalid. Hotfile keeps coming up empty. I was thinking about flashing Scots rom stock rooted 4.1.1 but it won't flash a boot image... Would I still be able to unlock device via this rom?
Coming from JediX11
Just looking for a good firmware link but any alternative method advice is welcome. Thanks
P. S. Looking for sim unlock

I am familiar with rooting and rom, but only on Nexus devices. So I am looking to flash a custom rom on my wifes GS3, but want to confirm the next step.
I have rooted the device using CF auto root, i then installed TWRP via goo manager.
So can i just flash roms like normal now? Is the bootloader unlocked, or is that not involved with this device?
You can flash ROMs like normal.. Bootloader is already unlocked

If you want to flash custom ROMs like cm or aosp, you'll most likely have to update the bootloader. But if your just flash TW ROMs, you should be fine.

Thanks guys. Probably just TW Roms this way I don't confuse her. Her GS3 has just been running like crap lately so figured I'd wipe it and install something with less bloat.

Yea stick to touchwiz, it already includes a bunch of stuff that wasn't possible back on the GB days without root . I like the progression android has made with battery percentage etcc
