Where to find image for stock 4.0.4
there is video by techfanatic in some other thread , . i want to ask is it the same thing as in my case ?
can i follow it ?
please confirm
http://ultimatedroid.blogspot.com/2012/08/how-to-restore-galaxy-nexus-i9250-to.html

SEARCH!!! If you can't find the 4.0.4 image on the Google site that's your fault but we're not going to spoon feed you
For reference, though, do NOT use that video guide as you do not have to go anywhere near Odin to go back to ICS. You DO have to unlock the bootloader, though, so backup your data before doing so as flashing a stock image wipes everything

thanks for your concern
can you please tellme why this video is not appropriate for me ?
i preassume i have the same case as demonstrated in the video
i want to go back to 4.0.4
i wil backup my data

1. Backup your data
2. Download the 4.0.4 factory image from Google
3. Flash it following the guide I linked to earlier
You didn't answer why on earth you wanna go back to 4.0.4 though. Go to 4.1.2 if you have to but why not stick to 4.2.1?

The point is it's not mine but my friend's gnex. He accidently updated the device OTA from 4.0.4 to 4.1.1
He was quite conformtable with the 4.0.4. Thus he requested me to flash the device back to 4.0.4 for him.
I have read the guide in link provided by you
The device is unrooted and not customized at all at any time.
So what i have to do is to unlock the bootloader and then follow the tutorial as given.
Please confirm. Am i right or am i missing something over there ?
Thanks

You're right, but just tell your friend to stick with 4.1. There's very little difference

[Q] Flashing to 4.1.2

Hello,
Filler
v1gnesh said:
Hello,
I'm on yakjuxw 4.1.1 (came with 4.0.4, and then OTA updated to 4.1.1). I bought the phone this September, so OTA was readily available.
I want to move to yakju so that I can update as soon as its out. I'm going to use the GNex Toolkit to get there.
Question is -
After unlock, root, and CWM install, can I flash to 4.1.2 yakju, that's available at Google's site, directly?
Will be following the procedure in this video(16 mins long), which was with the Toolkit instructions.
I have attached a screenshot containing more info.
Thanks!

From my experience. The stock flash will have the stock radio.
Check the radio you have in: Settings --> About Phone --> Baseband Version --> It'll be the last 5 digits.
Go find that radio in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1405345 and back it up. (i prefer the cwm downloads)
If you flash to stock and it breaks your network... Try using the radio you used to have.

I9250 XXLF1. So I guess that's covered in the stock package. Also, isn't there an option to backup radio in the GNex Toolkit as well?
Thanks for your reply!

"Pull and Trim your Radio Image from your phone and save to your PC (thanks to josteink for Radio Trimmer)"
I guess it's in there somewhere. If you already have XXLF1 now. I wouldn't worry too much myself about backing it up. You can grab it pretty easy from the baseband page. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27984443&postcount=1097
If you're in India. The best radio for you would probably have a DD prefix, but I don't see any of those. Try the XXLF1. Then maybe try a couple of the latest radios: UILE1, UGLH1, DVLF1
As far as I know playing with different radios won't permanently hurt anything. Just keep the factory flash/radio at hand if it breaks.

Yet to do it. Waiting for mskip's new version of the toolkit, which could be out by tonight or just a couple of more days.

Just follow the instructions from the 15-minute long video that's with the Toolkit.
- Drivers
- USB Debugging on
- Unlock
- Root
- Backup
- Flash
If you don't wanna install CWM, ignore those steps and use 'Download, and Flash stock Google images'.. If you do want CWM, just use step 7 to do it all at once (except the backup).
I'm now on yakju 4.1.2.

it not a problem , its just your phone is rooted so this rom you running doesnt have that option , you will have to download a rom you need like 4.2.2 with sense 5 manually , and flash it from the recovery if you know what i mean, :good: remember to thanks

yes, you need to find out your cid and main version using this command "fastboot getvar all", then you need to flash the stock recovery and stock odexed rom, relock bootloader and then you should be able to receive OTAs... look around for guides

Basically the phone will get update via OTA if it's on stock rom and stock recovery. Seem yours is not on stock rom.
My question is: how do you know there is an update when your phone is having trouble with "check for update" function?
Aldo, pls post the screenshot of "Software information" and Kernel information (click "More" inside Software information).

I asked just to make sure your phone is not on 4.2.2 and that you want ota 4.3 update.
Well, by the screenshot, you're on custom rom.
Now if you want stock 4.2.2 with sense 5 please do as follow:
1. Flash stock rom 4.2.2 (odexed) or nandroid
- Steps:
+ Identify your cid, and download stock rom or nandroid backup
+ Unlock bootloader (if locked)
+ Flash custom recovery (twrp, cwm..) and copy rom to phone memory (sd card)
+ Boot into recovery: Either flash stock rom or restore from nandroid backup file (remember to follow rom instruction carefully)
+ Reboot and there you go.
2. In case there is no 4.2.2 stock rom/nandroid but 4.1.1 only:
- Do same as above steps and your phone is now at stock rom 4.1.1
- Flash stock recovery (required)
- Reboot and check for OTA 4.2.2 update
- After OTA update, perform nandroid backup and save for future usage.
Report the result.
EDITTED:
Please make sure to backup your phone's data before proceeding as you might lost during rom flashing!

- Reboot phone
Now your phone is in stock status which is ready for ota update. Go "Check for updates" and see..

[Q] Android 4.2.2 JB Downgrade to 2.3.6 GB for Galaxy Wonder GT-I8150

Hi All,
Good Day!
I have an upgraded Android 4.2.2 for my Samsung Galaxy Wonder GT-I8150 but somehow I just don't like the way the battery drains faster. I would like to revert back the changes I did, I want to downgrade back to 2.3.6 Gingerbread.
I used Odin when I upgraded my phone to 4.2.2 and just followed the tutorial in the internet sites and downloaded the necessary files to upgrade.
Now I am currently looking for the tar file for 2.3.6 but for now I have no luck because the hotfile site was already shutdown. But I am still hoping to find one.
Here are my questions:
1. Is the procedure of downgrading is the same with Upgrading?
2. If ever I could not able to find the tar file or the image for 2.3.6, is it possible to use the image that I backed up when I was upgrading to 4.2.2? If so, Can you give me the details or procedures on how to do it please?
Any replies are highly appreciated.
Thank you.

I just have a problem on that thread, I can't able to post a reply due to the reason "New members (those with fewer than 10 posts) are not permitted to post to development-related forums."
I would like to request to them to have a mirror for the stock ROM for Philippines since Hotfile is not hosting anymore.

What you mean is to flash back to samsung's stock ROM which is gingerbread 2.3.6? If that so, read the following thread for information:

Note: Before flashing stock firmware, be sure to do clean installation (pristine)

Thanks a lot.
Regarding your "Note", what do you mean for clean installation? Do you mean that I need to wipe data, factory reset and cache? Sorry for asking just want to make sure..

Yes, boot to recovery (CWM) then wipe data / factory reset, go to "mounts & storage" and format /system, format /sdcard0 (internal storage) then turn off your phone and flash stock firmware via odin.

Ok thank you so much.
I will get back to you tomorrow to let you know what happened. I just can't download the ROM in the link you have provided for now as it is saying that I already have reached my daily download for the day. I want to download it for free and not premium
