How do I return to stock on a mac?

I am rooted, but before I start flashing roms, I want to learn how to return to stock on my mac. Could someone explain step by step or refer me to where I can find a detailed explanation?

Q&A Section can help you.

It's quite easy.
Google provided images of everything, with a handy script to make them all go.
http://code.google.com/android/nexus/images.html#mysid
Download the factory images package, command line into the directory, and run the script. "sh <scriptname>" should do it.
I forgot if it includes the tools or not, but worst case scenario, you'll have to get the android sdk downloaded also, then drop those images into and run the script from the platform-tools folder.

Try my guide. Its for the nexus s 4G but everything should be the same thing. Just make sure u put your phones stock img files into the adb folder.

I have posted this question in almost five forums without an answer. I posted the question where people are more computer and code savvy in hope someone wouldn't mine explaining what to do. I thought I might find someone here who would help.

Five other forums are not what they are talking about. On XDA, you are in a sub-forum of Samsung Galaxy Nexus, for only development. You will not be received well here.
Go Here and repost: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1431
Thats Galaxy Nexus Q&A
This URL is for the list of subforums in nexus: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1336
And this is the forum sticky in this forum you should have read before posting:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1400919
Which says, don't post in this forum, there is a forum for posting.
EDIT:
I was bored so i looked around for you, in the Galaxy Nexus General thread (you've posted there before), at the top, there is a sticky called "NEXUS STICKY | USEFUL INFO", in there is this url with instructions for OSX: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1366806

It doesn't matter if you posted your question 235,653,966 times somewhere else. Questions do not belong in the development section.

Spot on! I'm posting your link, everywhere I had gone for help. I didn't get the help I needed, but I did get a lot of views. I know I'm not alone. This may help eliminate others from posting for assistance of this kind, in this forum. Thank you for your generosity of spirit!
To the XDA mall cops, relax your nerve. Move on there's nothing happening here.
Say??
How's your Christmas?
Oops, got nothing to do with development.
As far as I'm concerned, this thread is closed. Cheers!

Actually, you'll probably encourage more people to ask the wrong questions in the wrong place without looking for answers first. The answers you seek were already all over this nexus forum, had you looked and read everything you were told to read, you would have found it.
And had you posted in the section FOR questions & answers, you would have gotten an answer much faster, and with far less hate.

You know I'm sick of seeing this. If people post in the wrong section start complaining to the xda admin! Instead of adding another absolutely useless "wrong section" post. There is a Verizon galaxy nexus dev section, a sprint galaxy nexus dev section, and a Samsung galaxy nexus dev section. But 1 Samsung galaxy nexus general section. It's confusing to people especially newer users, so instead of posting another useless wrong section post go complain to the mods and admin, they created this mess

Any forum clearly labeled as "development" (such as this one) is for releasing ROMs, Mods, etc. Not questions or general discussion. Its really not that complicated. And I think thats what irritates a lot of people. And this is a boot animation, which actually belongs in the theme section.

Yes you are right, but all I'm saying is it's equally irritating, to me anyways, to see "wrong section" all the time. For some people its just an honest mistake because it is somewhat confusing. They see 1 section for Verizon Galaxy Nexus, and they have a Verizon Galaxy Nexus so that's where they put it. The way the sections are labeled people who don't know better think that every section except the ones labeled "Verizon" and "Sprint" are for the GSM Galaxy Nexus. If the general section was labeled Galaxy Nexus (all) or something along those lines it would be more understandable when people get frustrated for wrong posts being in a dev section.

I get what your saying. And I can see how people could get confused. But I dont know how else the Moderators could do it. I actually think putting (all) after forum titles might confuse some people too. Pointing out that they posted in the wrong thread though is mainly meant to prevent them from doing it again. Not to scare them away from the forums. And yes, it doesnt have to be (and shouldn't be) pointed out in a rude way.

Lmao that is the stupidest animation ever! Google never mixes the version in with their boot animations.
I hope the final version is much more professional looking.

[Q] Is this my new home ?

Hey guys
I'm coming from the Galaxy S3 ATT forum (with bell). Just bought a Note 2 with Videotron and now I feel like I'm back to square one on XDA
For the S3, everything that had D2ATT was compatible with Bell. Can the same be said with T-Mobile and Videotron ? Like T-mobile roms and TWRP are compatible with Videotron ? Is there anything I should look out for or is it the same ball game than att/bell but with tmo/videotron ?
Thanks in advance ! can't wait to start rooting and flashing.
peace

What is the model number of it? I did a quick Google, by their website didn't say.

Best thing to do is go to xda developers forum and search for a rom. What carrier is the phone for?

Its a carrier called pelephone

I really wouldn't ask people RR randomly "what to do". I would ask a more specific question in the appropriate forum and wait for a reply. Even your message above isn't clear enough. You essentially want me to do the work figuring this out for you... Sry things on xda are obvious and easy if you can read and are smart. If not ... Don't do it. Have a nice day and good luck.

It sounds like what you downloaded is not going to be a rom you can flash through recovery. Only odin or what ever its called which most likely would return the phone back to how it was when the factory shipped it out.
I wouldnt flash anything that you dont know where it came from. Best thing to do is google the model number and find out if its an international version or a USA version and if there is a difference in the two. Then search the appropriate forums for a rom that he may like. Good luck and as always if you arent sure dont do it.

[Q] Can someone please help me out?

Okay, so me and my brother both have android smartphones, but I got a new Galaxy note 2 and I need help flashing over to it, and then helping him flash over to my old phone because his screen is messed up. If anyone out there is good at flashing phones, could you please message me and help me out? It would be greatly appreciated. :fingers-crossed:

What are u trying to flash to ?

Sounds like you want to activate a new phone and activate your old phone for him and this should be in Q&A.

Does anyone know how to do this that can help me out?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app

We mostly do android development around here. Plus what your asking can also reach into taboo topics on this forum. You might wanna look elsewhere on a different forum for that.
Edit: Ok, i'm gonna be nice (mods don't yell at me) First of I AM NOT going to explain how, but I will tell you what you need to do. You need to look into what is called ESN swapping. You need to be aware that this subject is in a legal grey area and is not discussed very openly and not at all on this forum. My recommendation would be to find another carrier that supports using that phone without changing the ESN. They are out there, and sometimes cheaper. Good luck with whatever you do, but trying to get this phone on your carrier involves things we don't discuss here and that are possibly illegal.
Again, mods, i'm just being nice, but trying to stay within the rules.

Okay, Thanks!
