Before you go to all the hassle. I urge you to try this...get a pair of pliers and squeeze the mini USB end that goes into your phone till its slightly tight to push onto your phone and see if it works. I bet it does!
As usual disclaimer here I'm not responsible for any damage. Don't squeeze too hard!

Just fix it yourself, the USB port is replaceable on this device. I have 2 backups for my toroplus.

Yes there is.
1) get segv11's BootUnlocker app from the play store and lock your bootloader.
2) go to the stickied return to stock thread in the General section, second post and flash the JB zip from there

Hello everyone, I'm a new GNEX owner coming from the mytouch 4g. I just got this phone and can't seem to put it down lol. My question is what rooting method is recommended, looks like toolkit might be the easiest way, but i want to know what you guys used and if there's anything better.

Do not rely on toolkits. Rooting the nexus is the easiest phone. Unlock the boot loader. Flash a recovery. And flash your rom of choice. Done.

^ Nope, in fact you can even root without unlocking the bootloader and wiping your data

Are you the Guy over at Thunderbolt whose TB bit the dust?
Haha welcome, I think more GalNex owners had the Thunderbolt than any other phone, we just got hit so bad with waiting for ICS, none of us want that wait and uncertainty ever again.

Been playing with it all day, getting a feel for phone and battery. Ive git a 2350 battery in it i believe, and life seems pretty good. It did update to jb, and im amazed how fast phone is. If i had a good secure wifi tether, id almost not root, lol! Nah, i gotta see what this thing will do. Really liking so far though.

Should i update radios? Runnin liquid now, no 4g.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Do yourself a favor and if you haven't yet already learn adb and fastboot command lines there is no need for a toolkit for this phone. And to answer your radio question unlike the thunderbolt any radio combination works on any ROM you can update or change radios to see if they help you out but it shouldn't matter if you're getting 4g or not. Plus these roms never include radios..well from what I have seen all the radios can be flashed separately through the bootloader or some people have made flashable zips containing them.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
1. Get Gnex
2. Root/Unlock
3. Flash new radios
4. Flash new bootloader
5. Flash new ROM - I would vouch for Codename Android with Faux's kernel
that's my recommendation plan
Brace yourself, flash addiction is comimg.

Has everyone gotten it? I googled it and it seems back in November it got pushed out. My girlfriends yakju just never got it. We've checked for updates many times and Idk why. Any reasons why? Or anyone know how we can get it?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I got it fine. Are you sure its yakju not yakjuxx etc?
Sent from my A100 using xda app-developers app
Not sure. What does that mean if it is? And how do we find out? It is the white nexus if that makes any difference.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Open Google Maps, go to Settings>About and it should say the build in there. If it's NOT yakju then it's a Samsung-supported device and they OK the OTAs not Google
Thats what we thought before. So how is that going to affect the update? How do we get it?

Looking at your signature you've not got a yakju unit as the model would be GT-i9250

I believe there is a method of conveying a non-yakju device to yakju. There is a guide in this forum on another thread.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Yes, I had converted my non yakju to yakju. It can be easily done. Just head on to the Development area and have a look at the stickies.
I think you have the Verizon or sprint version? That'll be why. You can not convert them, you'll risk bricking your phone.

Really guys? I said its my girlfriend's phone. I'm posting from my Verizon galaxy s3 asking about her phone. So yes my signature says I535. She has an unlocked gsm galaxy nexus (white) running on t mobile's network. We bought it and out of the box it had ics we upgraded to jb and still waiting on 4.2. At this rate it looks like vzw will even get it before this one. Which is kind of pathetic. Anyone have any info on updates to "samsung controlled devices"?
Easier to just covert to yakju and be done with it

Is there a way to do it with a Mac? Or could someone link instructions? That would be greatly appreciated. We need to root first and unlock. Anybody have instructions to do that on a Mac? Is there a one click out there?
Edit: spelling
Read the sticky on going back to stock in General, the factory images from Google work in Windows, Mac and Linux
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Nexus GT-i9250
Is there a root method in there for Mac? Or is that just for flashing the yakju firmware? I can't find something that works out how to root on Mac
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
1. Flask yakju image
2. Flash CWM/TWRP
3. Flash the SuperSU ZIP

I found a mac toolkit. I'll use that. Anyone got a link to the yakju software? Do I flash it like I'd flash anything else? Roms, apps, ect.. is it a zip?

Hello, I was looking into purchasing a G2 or vibrant since I was selling my Nexus 4. Anyway the one I want has a broken USB, and is stock. Now the guides I've read require USB at some point, but I was hoping another route is available.

No i don't think that is possible because you need to push files on to your phone.

Nope.Because Google allows you to do that and even they offer you stock image files to flash back to full stock.
There is no flash counter like in Samsung devices.
You are warranty safe go and root it!
Cool. I know Google supported it in the past, I just wanted to make sure they didn't have a change in heart at some point.
