Restore GalleryGoogle to 4.1.1 so I can upgrade to 4.2.2 - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hey guys,
Rooted unlocked stock 4.1.1. (JRO030)
Looking to upgrade. Downlaoded the install .zip but I'm getting a failure. Based on the recovery log I'm pretty certain it has to do with the manual upgrade I did earlier to get the 4.2 camera with photosphere working on my Nexus.
Any ideas how I can downgrade the camera first? I can't find the APK anywhere.

Since you're unlocked and stock, download the factory image and flash the system image ONLY via fastboot.

Thanks - how do I flash the system image only? I actually haven't used fastboot in a while.

fastboot flash system system.img
done.

do I need to copy part of the 4.2.2 zip file somewhere first? Right now I just have the full (zipped) download in the download folder of my gnex.
I guess I'm wondering, where do I get system.img and where do I place it so I can load it via fastboot?

if you downloaded the image from google,
untar the image
there should be a zip after you untar it, which will have the system.img in it.

Thanks ... very helpful, now i just need to know where to put the system.img? DOes it go into the same directotry where platform-tools is?

where ever your fastboot.exe is

Hmm the file came as a .zip not a .tar
5939ff985946.signed-mysid-JDQ39-from-JRO03O.5939ff98.zip
I unzipped that and I see
folders (META-INF, patch, recovery, system) and two radio images. Did a search and couldn't find system.img in there.
Copied the full directory to where fastboot is and did the dir *.img in command prompt also didn't find any files.

that is from a OTA zip.
you need the full factory image from here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images

Ah got it - thanks. They haven't put 4.2.2 up there yet for VZW as far as I can see. Can I use the 4.1.1 to somehow flash over just the gallery? Will writing system.img do that?

That's exactly what it will do hence why you were told to do that.

considering you never mentioned you were using a toro device until just recently...
if you had a maguro device, my instructions were correct.
since you have a toro device, you need factory 4.1.1 and then apply the OTA.

Here is a link the the guide using fastboot command:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1366806
Extract the components of the image and flash them like so:
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
And follow that guideline for whatever else is in there (not entirely sure myself )
I don't think order matters but I could be wrong.

yup thats what i did and it worked without a glitch. when are you americans getting the gsm GN? hopefully 4.0.3/4 gsm will be out soon
Or just buy clockworkmod, download your image to the phone and flash through the app. Its very simple. Backup your device before
this is the stock 4.0.2 rooted, busybox and deodexed.
just rename flash-all.sh to flash-all.bat

You have to extract it as it's is not flashed via recovery but rather fastboot, refer to this thread. Or you could use the toolkit (which should do everything for you) to restore to stock.

I doubt that any stock rom will flash with twrp recovery....in the past with oppo phones (n1, 7a) its always needed stock recovery to flash stock roms...I guess we just play the waiting game until someone can upload the boot image from the updated rom. I'm pretty sure flashing that alone will get wifi back up and running. 07 Or if someone has the stock recovery they could upload....I am unsure if you can just rip it directly out of the rom and flash it....Also on oppo forums they have posted the rom for 5207 I am also unsure if you can flash that to the 5206.
The zip in that thread is images to flash in fastboot?
...
I would think you would have to flash each image individually.... system, boot, recovery ....unless if we start by flashing only the unmodified boot.img to see if it will fix wifi....but i doubt it because i suspect the wrong boot image is what screwed up wifi in the first place...someone please correct me if im wrong

Yes, you're right; the boot image is not compatible with the upgrade; so downgrade to get root. I'm working on trying to upgrade again with the OTA upgrade and then getting the new boot.img and rooting that. More soon I hope!
FYI I tried your images, Lum_UK and found that I couldn't flash boot.img with fastboot, BUT I could dd them from within recovery, so I got myself up and running again.
Yes you'd have to flash all the images by hand one after the other.

Thanks for that, though I haven't tried it yet. Can I ask what it changes? Is it worth the upgrade? My original firmware +root seems to work pretty well already so I may well leave it alone until L or CM comes out.

I have no idea what it changes as it's the firmware my International N5706 was shipped with when it was released last week. It may be different to the US model (though I believe the only difference between the two is the baseband) and is definitely different to the N5707 for Chinese users.
Dude, thanks!!! You saved my life!

I've flashed the boot to a & b to be able to sideload, but i'm not sure on the command for "slot all" to use. Is it the same? I've been less that impressed with the last couple of radio/modem's as far as signal goes for me in my area.

Radios are really hit and miss For me too. Im on tmobile and the tmobile radios have been horrible for me. The May update radio has been the best. The slot all fastboot command is just one command instead of three commands.
Where are you guys getting the radios from? I can't find any of the new ones, because all of the threads that I have found on here have not been updated in a while.
Probably a stupid one to ask, but does flashing the vendor image update the modem?
Thanks!

That should be what you need, I came from a test build for Nash and used the FlashAll zip (RET specifically) from that site to take me all the way back to stock., Hence why each zip is ~3GB uncompressed.

I'm having the same issue. I've downloaded every 2+gb zipped XT1789-04 factory reset zip I can get my hands on.

If someone has a solution I'd be eternally grateful.

I ran into this problem attempting to root the latest Oreo OCX27.1 and got into a bootloop. The only Oreo firmware available to download isis the previous OCX27 and I believe that downgrading to that causes the lost of baseband and imei. I am waiting to see when OCX27.1 will be available to download so I can try to return to stock to 27.1 see if it restores my baseband
The problem i am seeing is that none of the stock firmware are for ocx27.1. they are all for ocx27. i have seen an ota update that is for the ocx27.1 but i have not figured out how to extract it yet
