[Q] Where can i find Stock 4.0.4

Where can i find a really stock 4.0.4, only with root and flashable with clockworkmod?
I was using the rom on the link below, but the dev startd to mess with colours and battery mods so this is a no go for me since i really want a stock 4.0.4 with root and a custom recovery
link from the rom i was using: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1582516
Sorry for my bad english

Just flash the google images, and download cwm recovery, after you've flashed the google images flash recovery and then download SU.zip and install it via recovery. Its very easy, its how I did it but I'm back to custom now

Nexusshacks.com (google it, that may not be the exact URL) you should be able to find it there. Sorry I can't walk you through right now, I'm very busy. When I get home I will look for a good video or something if you still need help. Nexusshacks has awesome tutorials.

When you are booted into bootloader but a "fastboot devices" does not list your device, it's almost always caused by having installed either no driver at all or the wrong one. Use the naked driver, follow the link in my signature to find it.

What you see is the stock recovery. Android will flash it back automatically even after you've flashed a custom recovery. To prevent this, you must either rename/delete /etc/install-recovery.sh OR rename/delete /system/recovery-from-boot.p.
LTE radios are in the factory images. Read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895

Do you have root? In that case it's a matter of launching your file manager.

Navigate to the folder /etc with a file manager. Remount with RW rights (root explorer has a convenient button for this) and rename the file install-recovery.sh to install-recovery.sh.bak.
Then reflash a custom recovery. This time it will stick.

[Q] How I should root my Galaxy Nexus

I've searched and read many ways to root, install CWM and many of the tutorials I've found were differents.
So I decided to ask people who did it what they have used. Did you use the nexus root toolkit from Wugfesh? The Galaxy Nexus toolkit? Or did you use the CLI (Fastboot , ADB) ?
What is the safest way? The easiest way?
I would to root my Nexus. I did it with my Galaxy S and I realy think it worth it but I always feel a little bit unsafe when I know it could brick my phone.
So again, according to you, how should I root my Galaxy Nexus?

Just don't use a toolkit.

[VZW/SPRINT/GSM][Guide] Ultimate Galaxy Nexus Guide (Unlock/Root/Flash Roms/FAQ)

It LITERALLY takes 5 mins to root, flash custom recovery, and then a custom ROM. The "hard" part is installing the drivers on your computer.

I used the Wugfresh toolkit. It was very easy. You can also use the toolkit to flash roms. I like it.

Is it possible to root a stock Galaxy Nexus without installing a custom recovery? I have no real interest in flashing a ROM. I would like root access on my stock ROM though with as little modification as possible.

You can temporarily boot a custom recovery

If you have previous experience with rooting/ unlocking, using ADB and Odin, in case something goes wrong, then there is nothing wrong about using toolkits.
If you don't have previous experience, read a lot first, then go the safer way, use ADB.
Download the correct .tar file for your phone, download Odin and always keep them handy, when you tinker with your phone, you never know when something may go wrong

[Q] How to restore Galaxy Nexus without USB

Hi,
Has anyone any idea how to restore my Galaxy Nexus to original without using USB?
I have a Galaxy Nexus Android 4.2.2. The USB doesn't working, however when connected to the power it recharges the battery but turns the phone off.
I can not use USB connection to computer either because the phone switches off immediately.
The phone has been rooted and I can access the root section when the phone turned on and I can upload any file via SMB.
I just need some info on what to do to restore the phone to it's original condition and so remove the info on rooting.
Please don't send me info on any external USB connection because I've tried it all and it does not working.
Thanks

You can use adb over network via developer options.then it is possible to restore stock and lock your phone by using wugs tools from pc.

So I have to upload the files wia network from my computer but I don't know what files and what to edit....

You don't need access to fastboot if you have root.
Install ROM Manager from the Play Store and use that to install CWM. The just flash the zip in the post i linked to. (Flash a superuser zip right after as well if you want root.)

Did you try a different USB cable? I had similar issue, and drove me crazy for several days. The issue was the cable.
Note that the cable was working fine to connect a galaxy s2 to PC, but failed to connect the GNex

Worst case, download mobile Odin via play store. If u still have root access then your good. Search for latest gnex stock image(its available to public in its original form made for restore purposes or manual upgrade) keep in mind this wipes everything. While using app ensure ever root is enabled otherwise you'll lose root. The stock image should be in tgz format or something similar. Extract it to your SD card, it will give u a folder. Inside the folder is a bunch of files( possibly a folder within a folder, been a while for me). When using mobile Odin u manually select the boot.IMG system.IMG radio.IMG user data.IMG so if u know the problem u can choose just what u need. Sounds complicated as hell but its really simple. I figured this to be a temporary solution as my laptop had no internet to download need files to restore. Only problem is Mobil Odin isn't free about 4 bucks I think. But well worth the money

Under developer options is option "adb over the network", so if you select this your phone will get ip address and listening port and then you can access it via your computer on that specifics ip/port.

Unfortunately the restore process didn't work from the ROM manager. It just stuck at the restart and didn't do anything. I will send it back and let's see what Samsung will tell me.
Thanks for your help anyway.

As per usual when changing ROMs, you need to wipe data (in most cases) for your device to boot.

Questions about rooting and cyanogenMod

Hi everyone,
I want to install CyanogenMod on my Galaxy Ace 2 GT-I8160 but I have some questions.
1. Do you need to root your device first for CyanogenMod or does the installer from CyanogenMod do it for you? And if you need root does anyone know a good tutorial that is up to date.
2. Is it possible to return from CyanogenMod to the original software.
3. Can you still use the google play store when you root and use CyanogenMod?
4. I have the Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 GT-I8160 can anyone send a good website with the right version of CyanogenMod.
I hope someone can answer my questions .

1. Not required, CM is already rooted.
2. Yes, the easiest way is to make backup in CWM before installation.
3. Yes.
4. Check out topics in development forum.

no, easiest is to flash stock via odin, theres no telling whether preload apps are missing(or so..)

My bad, you're right about preload. But anyway, restoring backup can be easier and no PC required

Installing
Alright i'm going to use this thread --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2555021. Do I need to 'flash' or 'unlock the bootloader' first or something?
I never do this before. And do I need ClockWorkRecoveyMod or something or can I do it with the normal recovery mod? Alright I understand that I need to do some things before is can install this rom. Can anyone tell me or sent a URL where I have to start.

No, our boot loader was never locked.
First your device has to be on jelly bean. So if your still on gingerbread, use odin to flash a jelly bean firmware(samsung-updates.com)
Then download temporary clockworkmod by shaaan. Download the cm11 rom and kitkat gapps(there are 4, pick any one) then transfer all 3 files to your phone's external sdcard. Once your device is on jellybean, boot to recovery. It should be recovery .(use volume buttons to go up and down, power to select
Choose apply )update from sdcard. Locate and select temporary clockworkmod zip (its named update.zip) then your device should boot into cwm 6.
Wipe data/cache and choose install zip.
Then install from sdcard.
Locate and select cm11 rom and gapps.
Flash both zips.(use vol keys to go up and down, home to select).
Then reboot to system. Done
Sorry its a little messy though

Thank you very much for this feedback! Do I need to change some settings in Odin before flashing? And where I need to select the jelly bean firmware in Odin?

No. Dont change any settings.
You have to select PDA, find and select the .md5 that was extracted from the firmware zip you downloaded
