Hi, I have a problem with my Galaxy Nexus. The USB-contact does not work anymore, I cant connect it to my computer or even charge my phone using USB (I have to charge the battery separately now).
I still have warranty but I don't want to send it back before unrooting and installing stock rom.
Is there any way I can do that without connection the phone to my computer?
Thanks for any answers.
Wrong section!
Anyway.. Download a 100% stock JWR66V ROM though your Nexus and flash it. Don't flash any root files.
You are lucky that you have the piece under warranty. I encountered exactly the same issue today but my phone isn't under warranty.

Following Carlos advice, after don't forget you'll need to go back to stock recovery (search for android stock recovery.zip) and then LOCK your bootloader. (unless flashable updates recovery I could be wrong.)

...I downloaded the 4.0.4 update and went to install and reboot. But the phone got stuck at the screen with the android belly up and a exclamation point. Pulled the battery and rebooted and was at 4.0.2 still. Haven't gotten another OTA notification. Do I get another OTA alert or do I have to update manually.
I have a GSM Nexus, rooted but with stock 4.0.2. And I activated OTA RootKeeper before downloading the update. Any help will be greatly accepted.

Besides root and maybe unlock your bootloader, did you change anything in your system (install mods, different radio etc. or rename system files)? If you are not completely stock your OTA will not work and you will have to update manually or get back to Stock first.

Nothing changed. Except for root and unlocked bootloader everything is stock.

Well the screen you were looking at (Android belly up) is the stock recovery. If you see that: no need to pull battery. Simply push volume up + power simultaneously and you'll get into the recovery menu. Scrolling through the options can be done with the volume buttons, select with the power button.
That said: I think no one knows for sure but I myself would not wait and update myself. There are a lot of guides here on how to do that and if you flash the stock images you will have the same as anyone who had the OTA. Make a proper backup first (you allways should)! You will lose all your data if you have to unlock your bootloader.

Have you installed CWM recovery installed?
The "belly up" android is the phone trying to boot in the stock recovery to update the phone. But as you may have CWM recovery installed (which replaces the stock recovery) the phone cannot complete the update.
You will need to re-install the stock recovery. I believe you can do this with the GNex Toolkit.

Is it possible to get the Stock Recovery Screen when you have CWM installed? Didn't think that was possible... that it would just boot into CWM recovery. That is why I didn't mention it (trying to learn here).
Same problem here. Stock 4.0.2, rooted, CWM installed.
Does this mean we will lose settings before we are able to update the device?

this mean you are not eligible for the OTA update mate, because you have a custom recovery
i suggest you to
flash the stock rom manually
flash a custom rom wih 4.04 inside
my 2 cents

I don't even understand why I have CWM installed in the first place. I only neet root acces, all the rest can stay stock for all I care... Is there a way to avoid these problems in the future? So be able to root and OTA at the same time?

custom recovery is needed in order to install custom ROM dude, is quite simple
and yes, you can root the stock ROM without custom recovery, there are a lot of guide about that in the developer section

So my only option to fix this now is flash 4.0.4 manually (will I lose stuff?) and then root again and get stock recovery back? Sorry for my n00b questions, thanks for your help!
Edit: would it be easier if I just get the stock recovery back and then try to get the OTA to turn up again?

Thank you master for your soothing words. I just want my Galaxy Nexus to be like he is right out of the box, but rooted. Thats all I need from him... I am guessing my girlfriends Nexus S is going to be a pain in my assholes in a few weeks bc its still on GB and my TF101 will also go haywire because of my rooting adventures...
First this GN nuisance... Guess I am going to have to wait until tomorrow, I am flying to Dublin in about two hours and I don't think I can fix this in time...

I want to manually flash 4.0.4 and stay unrooted. Should I use the GNex Toolkit to flash 4.0.4 directly or do I need to flash the same version I have on my phone?

I had the same issue described by the OP, the belly up android when trying to update to 4.0.4 from the OTA notification. I had previously changed to 4.0.2 yakju using efrant's instructions from the first post in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1391881
However, I had skipped the optional sections. In particular step 12 to flash the recovery partition. I went back and just executed step 12 (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img) and rebooted. Then I was able to update to 4.0.4 successfully from the OTA notification.
I'm guessing I didn't have the "stock recovery" because I previously had the default Samsung version?
Just got the update again OTA, and again the belly up droid. I'm really pissed now, bc it also reset my Go launcher... Had 7 screens w/ widgets and shortcuts...
Why did it go wrong again? I thought I put back the recovery to stock to solve the OTA problem... Should I do other things? The phone starts to really slow down and I'm ready to toss this piece of c* in the bin...

I had the same issue just now with my phone (unlocked, rooted, stock revcovery), but a quick reboot allowed the update to complete and I'm now on 4.0.4. Did you check the version number again after this latest attempt?
Yes, still 4.0.2.
And of course, my phone says I'm up to date. Lovely, NAAAAAT!

ok I got a real good deal on a GNEX on CL and the guy said it wasn't rooted and smart me believed him. Well from what I can tell the bootloader is unlocked, and it is rooted because I ran root checker and it has superuser and wifi tether.It does not seem to have a custom rom on it The problem I see is that it seems to have stock recovery but when I go from the bootloader screen to recovery it reboots the phone most of the time after sitting on the image of the android guy with a red triangle over him. I plan on doing the JB OTA update when it comes out . At this state I am just not sure what I should do to make my phone not mess up in the long run. I was thinking unrooting and locking the bootloadder and re flashing stock recovery would be a good idea kind of starting from scratch. Please let me know what yall think and thanks for your time oh and I am on Sprint
Yeah just Odin back to stock you should be fine. Also you'll be waiting a long time for an OTA of jelly bean at least on sprint. We already have a port of the preview OTA that the gsm version got. Only thing doesnt work is MMS for obvious reasons.

U can come back to stock recovery without any problem u can use gnex toolkit u ll be fine i guess , However JB rom available now are also awesome it works great without any problem ,except some apps yet to be updated for JB update
Stay away from toolkits. You can Fastboot flash the .img for the stock recovery boot and rom it self.

No, Odin only works on windows.
There is no need for the SDK, all you need are the fastboot and adb files for Mac.
Look at the "flash" link in my signature. It has all the instructions on how to revert you device to stock. Mac-specific instructions are linked to a little further down.

I am currently on the aokp rom and i need to sell the phone and wipe everything on the phone. I cant seem to find a guide that does this perfectly. Ideally I would like to return to 100% stock as if the phone is brand new out of the box.
Any suggestions?

Yea but i think the average person is going to be like wtf is this. Most people don't know about custom roms and phones. (at least i dont think they do)
So i flashed the stock firmware and it keeps hanging at the samsung boot screen it does the att boot animation then gets stuck at the samsung one.
I put the md5 fild in the pda box on odin. thats correct right?
I'm trying to download the file from another mirror maybe i got a corrupt download.

No, just pull the battery and reboot into recovery. Do a wipe data/factory reset then reboot and you should be good to go.

Use Odin to flash the stock ROM mentioned above. That process won't trip it.

My n7 2013 needs to be sent in for repair. I got the RMA from asus. The device will not under any circumstance charge while turned on (only while powered off) and it will not get recognized on any computer when plugged in to the USB. As a result I cannot use any of the toolkits that are out there to unroot / get back to stock.
I can download a stock image without root and flash it in TWRP (from my tablet). I can then lock the bootloader from the tablet (correct? by going into recovery?).
I am not sure how I "uninstall" TWRP and get back to stock recovery without USB access.
Is there a way to do this? To get TWRP installed I followed a step by step guide and flashed it using USB with it hooked up to my PC.
If anyone could help me out or send me a link with a guide of how to get stock without plugging the tablet into my computer that would be greatly helpful. I am kinda screwed if I cant do this, as I am sending this tablet back to ASUS.
Don't hold me to this but can you flash a factory ROM from mobile Odin? I had the same problem with my Galaxy note, though I am not sure if it works with the N7.

Nah mobile odin (at least according to the description on the play store) only works on Samsung devices.

Hi guys, I really need your help
I've flashed my galaxy s3 (Rogers i747M) and my friends one too (Virgin i747M) with the cyanogenmod installer without any hiccups. Today a friend of mine asked me if I could do the same with his (Telus i747M) but after the installation, when it reboot a message appeared telling me that it might overight the stock recovery. Regardless if I say yes or no, the phone still boots with stock 4.3 touchwiz.
The problem is, google services doesn't work anymore. It doesnt want to download from the play store and this prevent the phone from using any application. I tried to recover it with KIES by entering de S/N and the model but when I clic start after plugging the phone it tells me that my phone version isn't supported. Furthermore, when I go start the OTA update application on the phone it says it cannot work because de the phone ''has been modified''.
Seems like the CM installer broke the phone....
So I'm stuck right now. Can I flash the stock files with odin or heimdall? If so where can I get the files?
Many many manyyy thanks!
Just look around the s3 section I believe there is a sticky with all the s3 flashable Odin files

No if the Roms booted your fine and flash will do a full reinstall of stock including modem, bootloader, everything just flash and try to install cyanogen again

Okay then I'll try to manually flash CWM recovery tonight and then install CM11 d2lte snapshot 6 from the recovery. I've heard about the knox bootloader and that it could be dangereous for the device if you try to flash another recovery, is it still the case?
Thanks btw!
I haven't seen any reports about it so you should be fine..... The only problem people had was downgrading to android 4.1.1 I believe it was or installing a older modem......so you should be fine with the recovery and I hope you know it will trip the Knox counter and void your warranty btw

I recommend flashing your phone with a pre-rooted Telus ROM via Odin from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...mctr=(not provided)&__utmv=-&__utmk=238585987
Flash Philz custom recovery via Odin from here: http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/d2lte
Now, you'll have a stock rooted ROM with a custom recovery.
