Great find. Thanks for posting this. after trying sourcery 4.5 I can't go back to stock
I'm getting a new Galaxy Nexus today. If I want to root, should I take OTA or should I leave this one alone for a bit?
I'd wait for OTA just to see what true stock feels like before searching for the perfect rom and kernel combo for your device.
How do we update manually from the google site? I just returned back to stock from being rooted. Now fully stock with bootloader locked through GNEX TOOLKIT.
Can I download this and apply it if I am completely stock jellybean?
I apologize if this has been asked before.

As long as you're completely stock, including stock recovery, then yes. I used Odin to go back to stock and adb sideloaded.

Why are people using Odin on a nexus device?. Fastboot the factory images. Its much safer. If I was sprint though I would have waited on 4.2. Its needs another update or two.
If you just got the device I also recommend unlocking the bootloader before you put all your stuff on the device. It wipes the phone. Leave out unlocked. It doesn't affect whether you get ota updates.

Yes, you use adb to side load. Its easy as long as you have sdk setup on your computer. If you dont have sdk, search on youtube for a video tutorial if you need to. Btw, you dont need to unlock bootloader to update this way.

I use Odin out of habit, I guess. Always have. But you are right, fast boot is recommended by most. And +1 on unlocking boot loader.

Hey guys can't remove superuser after rooting device I have tried every thing I used superboot r3 to root device originally
Any ideas how to fix
Thanks
If you are using a stock rom just use fastboot oem lock.

You need to flash the stock image from Google and then fastboot oem lock
I don't have the Nexus, but on my OG SGS this was as simple as flashing back to a stock FW using Odin...

This! In the gsm dev section look up chainfires 4.0.2 odin image. Then see if you can use fastboot to relock bootloaders.
You don't need to use ODIN at all, you can do it via fastboot with the Google 4.0.2 image from here:

I agree, but odin is another option...
Thanks for your comments guys but I have flashed to stock using fast boot but has not removed to root. Ie superuser as it's still rooted
I have read all dominations of solutions without success
It must be how I had rooted the device using super boot in the first place can't unroot after using this exploit had the same issues looks like. I have no warranty if I return this if I can't solve this problem
Thanks

what the problem is that by just flashing, stuff is leftover. U need to do a full wipe, including the system partition in cmw. Then flash and all should be fine. Just for future reference.

PS post if they say anything about it still not having warranty. On the Xoom, it still says it not warranted after u get it relocked and back to stock. Hope it doesn't apply to the nexus.

Hi everybody,
Now that the 4.0.4 has been released for the Galaxy Nexus GSM, is there a full (not OTA) stock 4.0.4 rooted ROM with Google apps?
Is it needed to update kernel and radio? I want to keep CWM.
I've searched around the forum but I didn't see answers to all my questions...
Thanks you!

to have the full 4.0.4 stock rom, you'll have to unlock bootloader and flash the factory image provided by google, either by fastboot or using the nexus toolkits. The kernel and radio will be flashed automatically if you use the toolkits as it's part of the image. You can then use the toolkit to reflash CWM
Yes but I prefer a .zip file so I can delete everything that I don't need before flashing the ROM.
Something like this ROM (the one I have now) :

Download the factory image from google and root it yourself.
If I was able to do it I would not ask for a ROM.
Is there an easy way to convert the image from google in tgz format to a flashable .zip file?

Yes. You can use dsixda's kitchen to make a flashable .zip file from the .img you can download from google.
why not just flash the 4.0.4 images and re-root?
Sorry to hijack, but I've got a question along the similar line.
If I use the galaxy nexus toolkit and unlock my boot loader, then use the option in it to restore to stock. After that I keep my boot loader unlocked. Will I still get ota updates?

Unlocked bootloader doesn't effect OTA's AFAIK. Custom recovery like CAN however does.

I have two t-mobile galaxy s3. when I go to Settings / About Device one of them has Baseband version T999UVLH2 and when I do Software Update it says that it is up to date. The other one is Baseband version T999UVLG1. When I do Sofware Update it says it's not up to date, and downloads update, and then tells me to reboot but after rebooting it fails to update it, and so it reverts back.
What could be the problem that it can't update it - might it be that I rooted the device and I have put the clockworkmod reocvery?
Yes, that's the problem. You have to have stock recovery to update.
Why not just flash a stock rooted Rom, since you have cwm?

How would I flash a stock ROM, using odin? Where would I find the stock ROM? And can I still remain rooted?

Aerowinder, thanks for your reply.
Rooting - I have rooted the phone. That is was not problem. It worked after rooting. It is after the Restore that it is having the problem.
What am I suppose to do
Reset to factory default? I can't do that cause I can't get to settings. In fact I cant get to anything.

You don't need a locked boot loader or stock recovery. OTA's apply fine with unlocked boot loaders and custom recoveries.
You will need a stock /system though and any other file that's being patched.

The OTA won't apply automatically with a custom recovery. You have to move the file and flash it manually.

Correct. Assuming you're rooted and unlocked this is a fairly trivial operation.

Hey Guys, coming from the Samsung galaxy nexus. Receiving my s4 in a few days.
Just a few question to install twrp:
1.Root using motochopper
2. Install goo manager
3. Install TWRP
4. Funfun
Are those the correct steps? Thanks!

I think unlock bootloader should be in there somewhere.

Did doing it that way change your system status in Odin mode? I Odin'ed TWRP and then rooted. Now I have a system status of Custom instead of Official.

If u have a custom recovery the status will always say custom. Only flashing back to stock through odin will make it official again.

I'm used to my Galaxy S2 I guess. It never said custom. Tried Odin k0ane's stock file. Still says custom. I thought I was going to have to return the phone. It started using hotspot data for all data. I was almost to my 500 meg limit. A factory reset fixed it and Tmo gave me an extra 2gb hotspot data for this month only for free.
What's the difference between custom and official?

Official is all stock factory system. Custom means you altered the system and your warranty is probably void. That's why people try to flash back to stock if they need to get their phone repaired or replaced.
I see. Coming from the galaxy nexus, so much to learn..
Also, where can I get the samsung USB Drivers to do the motochopper?

Take a look ant the N2 and S3 forums - they have threads on returning to stock and i am sure we will see one here - AS SOON as and only when an official Samsung TMo firmware is available.
If you break or brick your device before then you will have to wait before sending it in to Samsung or TMo.

I can't believe sammobile hasn't gotten the firmwares posted yet. Isn't this unusual? Doesn't Samsung usually release the firmware almost immediately?
Does anyone know why that when I download something to my internal sd card and then boot into twrp and try to install it the file is missing in the download folder. Am I doing something wrong? i'm coming from cwm and things are a lot different. Any help would be great thanks
