Reverted to stock for JB OTA. Anyone else??

So i was playing around with the I/O leak of JB and it is gosh darn fast but i really want to see this update so i reverted back to stock ICS and locked my boot loader. Anyone else do this in wait for the OTA???

I have no interest in waiting really. I can live with a buggy phone as long as the essentials work. I love putting new rooms on and testing the features. I think that waiting for ota is pointless for most of the people here when they want the latest and greatest with mods and patches. However, to each there own and just putting in my two cents.

Nope, because 20 minutes after the first person gets it there is going to be a stock rom posted here that is prerooted and ready to go.

Completely no reason to lock the bootloader as far as I'm concerned.

I'm waiting. Personally I prefer the complete package. I'm not even rooted. I haven't rooted since my Samsung Epic. The first one. I've been thru 4 Android devices since then. I just prefer the stock experience and I'd rather not flash something that I can't enjoy in its entirety due to bugs and functions not working. And flashing and modding gets old to me since I don't have as much time anymore.

i don't understand this thread, i thought these *were* OTA releases?? (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20843237&postcount=1)
Today I upgraded from (4.0.4 yakjudv IMM76K -> 4.1.1 yakju JRO03C) and it seems to be working perfectly. Can you clarify what you mean by the I/O leaked JB as I thought the version on that link will be the official release as everyone gets...

I'll be going back to stock to catch OTA, or grab the verified and official files if posted. I'm a bit of a purist so I like unmodified code if going for the OEM experience. I also prefer to root/install myself for learning/practice purposes vs using a "modified for me" stock ROM.
For me, a strong motivator for purchasing the Nexus was to learn/tinker with it. So going to stock JB first, then eventually trying the various ROM flavors that come out is very exciting to me.

Official releases out now are for GSM only, he may be referring to a previous leaked release before official or perhaps he has a CDMA device.

No offense but I don't get how installing from official updates is not stock
What I did:
1. downloaded 4.0.4 takju factory image
2. flashed it using fastboot
3. downloaded official OTA 4.0.4 takju to 4.1.1 tajku
4. flashed the ota using temporary cwm boot
5. factory reset
Won't this process give a pure stock experience? I didn't lock the bootloader because I don't have to.

Yes to stock experience. I mentioned "verified and official if posted". What I was referring to was xjman's post on using a 'pre-rooted' stock ROM. I'd rather root myself manually and know that the files came direct from Google untouched.
Your procedure is exactly what I'll be doing if I don't catch the OTA.

I tried to wait, but I couldn't so I flashed a stock 4.1.1 ROM. I'm impatient.

Well no..... but since i was at the bootloader screen and its not that hard.

About a week ago I flashed a takju image over my yakju as the belief was takju would get it first... so I updated to 4.1.1 via methods shown here for OTA update and liked it....
But today I reverted back to 4.0.4 yakju simply because I didn't feel Wallet should reside on my phone if I can't see or use it, and instantly got the update over the air. Phone works just the same without the wallet weight. lol
I'm probably going to flash the full factory image when it comes out too.. I mean, why not. lol

Yeah. I'll look into custom roms for JB or see the 4.0 sense ROM port when its stable enough.

I dont understand. If you have one HTC device you want a non sense rom, but if you dont have one HTC you want ir.... Weard....
The same happens with other frameworks and ui changes.
Please dont look to my signature (but the s3 firmware is made for humans)....

I know but I've actually never used HTC sense..... at all just stock android and touch wiz with my galaxy player. so here I am hoping I can use it on a powerful device.

Can you tell me another thing Is it safe to flash TAKJU 4.2.1 over YAKJU 4.2.1??

Read all efrant's directions thoroughly first, perhaps several times to be sure you understand the process. Without CWM, i believe your most important step would be "fastboot erase cache". If you have CWM, there's no harm in wiping cache and dalvik. I would even do a factory reset first to be safe. Yes, there are ways to preserve your data, if you already have any, but reading for comprehension is key.

phone wont update to latest Jellybean

My friend has problems with his phone, when he got it back he no longer had jellybean 4.2 only 4.1
I've just checked, he has build: JRO03C.19250XWLH2
When he goes a manual update (Vodafone UK) it says no update found, but he HAD it before (and updated when he had it on Vodafone)
How can he get the latest OS back on his phone, as far as i can see, there is no branding, its raw android.... Very strange....
Thanks all.

Check if it's yakju. If it is then he should get the update. Or just flash the JOP40D factory image

I would go ahead and make the jump to AOKP MR1 Unofficial Nighllies...Better than stock and the battery life is much better than build one. Besides this the Beats+XLouder V6beta2 works beautifully for some real audio improvement across the board. Gmusic sounds epic now.

Also update the Kernel to the latest leankernel 5.8 for JB 4.2 and your GNEX:highfive: for some reason other Kernels are working but htis one provides best battery life for this ROM so far...
And give it a few days on a fresh install it sucks down the battery life but this seems lo level out to normal I am not sure what operations go on for the interim when you first install this ROM...

thanks for the tip, he tried that actually and showed me in front of me, as a "google techie" sent him instructions how to do it, the date reset to a 1970 date, then when he did system update it just updated time and date to the correct time, but no update

yes, thank you for that! he doesnt want a custom ROM - why should he have to bother with a BETA firmware (cos thats what it is at the end of the day) - he just wants stock latest google.
its a puzzler thats for sure.
glad its not my phone! haha.
(if it was me, id root it and install a custom build - or at least force a stock manual build like i did once with my Google Nexus One, when vodafone weren't pushing out gingerbread)

i told you the reason why there was no update. he's not on yakju or takju which means samsung updates his phone. if he/you want him on the latest firmware, you need to flash the stock images from google.

[Q] AT&T i747 android 4.3 [How to root?]

Ok what i want? Root my fresh updated i747 4.3. The problem is
1- I'm brazilian and i'm not really used with the english language, even more whn it's about technical language so my apologies if there is already a thread for this or if i'm stupidly ignorant to not know how to do this.
2.I have been reading everything i could since yesterday morning so i could upgrade afeter several hours my 4.04 android to 4.3 but i was expecting to think about root after i reach the 4.3. But i didn't know about the Knox and SELinux.
3. I have read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2498233 but i don't know much about kernel and modem this part I simply do wath de developers says but wintill this point i coundn't understand afeter various re-readings if i need/should downgrade to 4.0.4 and start all over again researching about how to do all this flash thing with kernel, modem and room or i can try and update via recovery and do all the steps listed on the thread.
4This far i got mey phone all stocked.....stock rom, stock recovery stock kernel and modem.
5I have experienced rooting SII lite and Galaxy 5 but never had to face a more newwer device and so complicated or without tutorials to get rooted.
6. Sorry again for whatever.......
@edit i don't care about those security features and now i have just rooted with the Knox and SELinux. giving me an error about Super User.

Also just in case what version you have like for example I have a i747UCUEMJB and the UCUEMJB is the bootloader not to throw you off. Some roms even though they say 4.3/4.4 just make sure you know what your doing in terms of the bootloader just never down grade your loaders of you updated to 4.3 it can really mess the phone up.

[Q] Why Flash Bootloader and Radio? How?

In the changelog for 4.4 RC 1, we are told that we need to flash a new bootloader and radio. This has not been part of my normal process. Why do we need to do this? Also, I wasn't able to find any threads on suggested bootloaders and radios for PA. Please point me in the right direction if this is something I really need to do. (using a Nexus 5)

Dose of awesome sauce on this week from PA Headquarters, again. As you may know we merged 4.4.3 into our source. You will need to flash new bootloader, radio, Gapps and update to latest recovery before going forward. Many bugs have been also resolved on our bug tracker thanks to community’s reports, less to go.

I ended up unzipping the stock package and selectively flashing the stock Bootloader and Radio.
I'm not sure why I needed to do this, but I did it and I'm using 4.4 RC 1 now.

It was mentioned to do so but should have specified that it was only for those old 3.99 holdouts that weren't ready to switch. Mainly only applied to mako users.

You don't need to update anything then. If your device didn't come with any new boot loaders or radios then there is obviously nothing to update.
