Ruturning GNex Verizon back to stock for repair? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hi,
I have to send my GNex to verizon as they are sending me a replacement.
I had unlocked the bootloader and installed CM10 on it.
I just installed the stock ROM which I had made an image of before installing CM10.
Now when I run the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit v7.8.0 I don't see 4.2.2 "JDQ39" built number as an option.
Without that option I don't know which option to choose to lock the bootloader.
Is my current ROM official Verizon ROM, Pls see attached pic.
Also can I use "NEXUS ROOT TOOLKIT" BY Wugfresh and click "Flask stock + Unroot" followed by OEM Lock??
Please let me know.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

To lock the boot loader just boot to it and do "fastboot oem lock" from connected PC. If I was sending my phone back I would do "fastboot -w" wipe, install factory Rom image via fastboot along with a radio image and factory recovery, then finally do "fastboot oem lock", box it up with some used tampons padding and send it on its way for refurbish redirection.
This is IMO much more reliable and easier than toolkits. I would search for a fasboot back to stock guide for the few fastboot commands I forgot as well as links to factory images.

I was following instructions from here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895
The problem was with bootloader and adb drivers what couldn't be configured correctly.
Since I am short of time I am going with Nexus Root Toolkit by Wugfresh.
It will work out hopefully,
Thanks.

Just to make sure

Yes, i am a noob, and yes i did watch that video, but still id like to be 987% sure that im doing everything right.
Yakju(xx) GNex and i would like it to be yakju.
I will do the following.
1) Install the drivers
2) Unlock the bootloader with Galaxy Nexus ToolKit.
3) Download the yakju image via ToolKit
4) Flash it somehow.
5) Once i have yakju(im now confused if i still have bootloader unlocked)
6) I`ll use #8 (1 - CLICK for all) in Galaxy Nexus ToolKit
7) And flash custom Roms.

yes, you still have unlocked bootloader after flashing a factory image, unless you lock it yourself it's always unlocked. After flashing the image with the toolkit you should flash the radio and bootloader that are found in the same archive with the factory image file. You put them in the directory "put_img_files_to_flash_here" that is found where you installed the toolkit and then navigate around the menu and flash them. After this you are stock yakju and good to go.
EDIT: The next step, it you want to flash custom ROMs afterwards, is to flash a recovery using the same toolkit and then boot to it

You copy the radio and bootloader .img files from the archive with the factory image (https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images). You put them in the directory "put_img_files_to_flash_here" which is found in the main directory of your toolkit. Then you have the option to flash or boot image files in the toolkit. Just look around the menu and choose to flash them in the correct places (radio/bootloader).

How to turn Galaxy Nexus from Yakju to Yakjuxw without trace?

Hi. I've searched, but not found a thread about this. I need to bring my phone from yakju to yakjuxw due to warranty purposes.
Can anyone link me a noob step by step guide to yakjuxw?
install fastboot drivers and the files if you don't have them.
http://galaxynexusroot.com/galaxy-n...iversal-guidegsmverizonsprintwindowslinuxmac/
And then:
Download this:
https://code.google.com/p/galaxynex...ame=stock yakjuxw 4.0.1 fastboot.rar&can=2&q=
Extract the files into fastboot folder
Method 1:
and boot your Nexus into fastboot mode then use flash-all.bat file to make it automatically flashing Yakjuxw!
It will wipe everything!
Method 2:
To keep files e.g. Music or pictures...:
You need CWM.
Boot into CWM and wipe factory data reset and then boot into fastboot mode and open CMD and locate to the fastboot files folder and copy/paste these commands into CMD (Command prompt)
Code:
fastboot flash radio radio-maguro-i9250xxkk1.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-maguro-primekj10.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot

But they are all yakju and takju, so that wouldn't really help him achieve what he want.
The solution has, however, already been given, but seriously it doesn't matter whether it's yakju or not. They are all official roms signed with the official keys, so your warranty is fine as long as it's bootloader locked and unrooted.

Does anybody has 4.2.1 factory image for yakjuxw? or do i have to go for incremental update only?

Is there even any Yakjuxw 4.2.x available?
At least ICS is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1625700
By flashing those you get ICS Yakjuxw 4.0.2 which should be upgradeable to JB...

[Q] Face Unlock issue

Hello guys,
this morning I've received the 4.3 OTA. The entire installation was ok, but my face unlock option is not working anymore.
When I try to unlock using FaceUnlock, i had this message error: "Face Unlock couldn't start".
I've already tried several changes in settings but without success.
Any suggestions to fix this?
Thanks in advance.
Hi I had the same issue, looked around but couldn't find anything. Managed to sort it out myself tho, if you have unlocked your bootloader and have fastboot on your computer then all you need to do is download the factory images for your phone from here https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images extract the system.img file the boot into your bootloader and use the commands
1)"fastboot flash system system.img" then
2a)"fastboot reboot-bootloader"
2b)"fastboot format cache" (not sure if these two steps are necessary boot did no harm for me).
3) "fastboot reboot"
If your rooted you will lose root so will need to re root your phone
Thanks fezy.
It worked for me as well.
No problem, glad it worked for you too

Sending in device to Samsung, need to reset to original settings

I'm sending in my galaxy nexus to samsung to get it repaired/fixed and was wondering what I need to do to reset it to factory settings/state. I know I need to unroot, but what else?
Sorry for the beginner question, I just don't want to send it in and get it sent back because of some software thing I forgot.
Thanks, and have a nice day!
any help?

I'd flash a stock rom directly from Google. Their script wipes everything out and goes completely stock. And then you can run `fastboot oem lock` to lock the bootloader. That's about as stock as you can get.

So if I flash a stock rom with the galaxy nexus toolkit will it unroot my phone or do I still need to do that? And then what do I use to run the "fastboot oem lock"? What about like CWM and like busybox? Will the stock rom get rid of those too?
Thanks for your help btw.

What part of 'completely stock' is hard to understand?
Stop using toolkits and do it the Google way.

How to relock bootloader and reset tamper/unlock flags?

I have just updated to Android 7. Can someone please point me to a guide on how to achieve this on my one plus 3? Thanks
Sent from my 1+3
There are no tamper flags on this device.
Don't relock the bootloader if you're not on the stock ROM and stock recovery
There's a guide on how to do this on the forums

If anybody interested to know the outcome of this, as I already had stock kernel and recovery I only had to issue the lock cmd in fastboot. In the process, that seems to factory reset the device too.

type the command in the adb terminal
fastboot oem lock
this will wipe everything on your phone (basically factory reset it ) and you should stop receiving the message.
P.S= use this command only if you're on stock recovery and stock OS.

Where to get the stock recovery and stock OS for OP3? I'm currently on Experience Rom OS 4.0.3. Thanks in advance
Search on XDA forums. There is a thread for stock ROM n recovery with download links.
http://downloads.oneplus.net/oneplus-3/oneplus_3_oxygenos_4.0.3/
http://oxygenos.oneplus.net.s3.amaz...6_OTA_041_all_1702081756_f9fb218af59d4aa6.zip
http://oxygenos.oneplus.net.s3.amazonaws.com/recovery_op3.img
The flaw works by sending a proprietary, hidden fastboot command: fastboot oem 4F500301. By sending this command, the user’s bootloader lock state is bypassed (even when “Allow OEM Unlocking” has not been enabled in Developer Settings). The device does not prompt the user nor does it wipe the device as it should be – in fact, the device will still report that the bootloader is locked! Another fastboot command, fastboot oem 4F500302, will reset some bootloader settings, and can be used to lock an already unlocked device.
