[Q] Can you Unroot with KitKat? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I recently installed kit kat on my samsung galaxy nexus phone, which was originally 4.3, but now I'm not really loving the kit kat so I'd like remove it
and unroot the phone all together and send my phone in to get fixed.
Is there a way to do this?
I originally rooted the phone and installed kit kat because it had an issue with turning the wifi on. (couldn't do it) Now the wifi still cant turn on and im stuck with a super glitchy Rom.

Just flash the factory image via fastboot. That will wipe everything (so all your pictures and music and stuff too).

What build and rom are you using .. ask them for a fix ...
Hi there,
i have the same problem:
Everytime i try to start video-mode, the app crashes.
When i open and close the app a few times, the cam crashes, too.
Switching from back to front cam sometimes fails, the back cam is active again (after some freeze-time).
Everything worked fine with 4.0.3 stock (open bootloader,root and cwm with GNToolKit).
The problem occurred with the update to 4.0.4. stock (IMM76D & IMM76I)
(I had to do a full wipe, cause i encrypted the phone and cwm could not load the updatefile from encrypted sdcard).
So what i've tried till now:
- clear app cache and data
- extracted camera .apk and .odex from stock 4.0.3 and moved it to /system/app but that didn't work
- Tried other cam-apps (crash)
- installed open bootloader and rooted again (GNToolKit)
- removed flashlight app
- wipe cache /dalvik cache
I don't know, what i should try next, so please help me
Thanks so far...
P.S. Since 4.0.4. all taken photos have a yellow spot. Maybe i should go back to 4.0.3.....
Galaxy Nexus with ICS 4.0.4 IMM76I
Update:
Wiped all and then installed 4.0.2 stock. Everything worked fine with the cam.
Updated OTA to 4.0.4 and now it's the same again... cam crashes if i want to take a video.
Update:
What helped? I got a new one, now everything works fine.
I did go back to stock then it began to work, now it works with any rom again

I flashed the newest update. 4.0.4 from google
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
i tried all variants.
Bit strange, that cam worked with 4.0.2 but not with 4.0.4.
Maybe they changed cam-api or something.
With my new gNex, cam works fine
The problem I had wasn't that the camera/video didn't work but that it couldn't save to SD . It had something to do with the permissions and the videocam crashed when I switched . The camera couldt save pictures
P.S I locked my bootloader and then opened it when I did the factory restore
Try to go back to factory a couple of times
Do u have the thumbnail in camera app?
Mine was missing..
I played a lot with the tablet mod, maybe its have something to do with it or maybe because I flashed a lot of roms. I have never seen this before.. it was kind of weird
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I flashed stock rom, and i think it overwrote all permissions set before.
I locked bootloader, unrooted phone, unlocked it again, then locked it again.. several times. Nothing changed.
My new gNex came with an open bootloader, i was wondering...
The bootloader is still opened and i am root again
I think i had a hardware problem. with 4.0.4. all images i took, had a yellow spot in it. I had thumbnails, too.
maybe you were just unlucky and got a gnex with errors. Was just glad I did't have a hardware failure. I went from 4.0.2 stock ROM to a 4.0.3 costume rom. It then worked fine! when I later upgraded to 4.0.4 costume rom it went wrong . isn't the bootloader always locked? by default?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Yes, bootloader is locked by default. I don't know what they did before with this gNex.
Maybe it's not a new gNex, but one, who came back from a user, who didn't want it.
The main point is, it works

Galaxy Nexus Acting Weird

Hi guys,
So I just bought a second hand Galaxy Nexus that was purchased from Fido in Canada. When I got the phone it was on 4.0.2 and I only tested the phone for an hour and everything seemed to be running fine. Since it wasn't a Yakju build I wasn't getting the 4.0.4 update. Hence, I decided to follow the guide to convert it to Yakju build so eventually I can get the official Jelly Bean update as well. The guide I followed was this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895
At the end of this, I was on 4.0.4. Didn't test the phone while on this firmware. Went in to the settings > Application and disabled the google service framework to receive the 4.1 update. Thereafter, I received the update and got on to 4.1 for few hours everything seemed to work fine. At some point, when i tried to use the phone by pressing the lock/unlock button nothing happened. the screen stayed blank. so i took the battery out and put it back in and after that my camera wouldn't work. As soon as I open the app, it force closes. This applies to any app using the camera such as instagram. So I did a factory reset. Everything seemed to be fixed. Camera was working again. Then few hours later samething happened. The screen went blank, the phone would not wake up from the sleep. Took the battery out and when I turned it back on, camera stopped working again. This time when I did factory reset (multiple times), the camera is not being fixed. The app force closes.
Do you guys have any suggestions on how I should fix it? Since I bought it second hand, I don't have the receipt so I cannot claim the warranty. The seller said the phone is only 3 weeks old. The phone is not rooted and currently the bootloader is unlocked. I'm not sure what to do.
It is possible that you need to wipe / factory reset since your phone was not yakju to start

isn't that part of the guide that I followed? I followed every step of it. Including n00b ones since they applied to me lol. And like i said, I have been doing factory reset from settings but it's not fixing the issue. It did fix it once which is really weird. But now it won't do it again :S
Can I repeat that guide even though I'm on 4.1? would it take me back to 4.0.4?
anyone?
Why don't you try to install another JB Rom?
If you have tried all wipes (data and cache), you should try with other roms. Look in this forum for the official jelly bean image, if you don't want some custom rom.
Good luck.

Gn frezzes after 4.2 upgrade.

Hello to all
The day before yesterday I flashed on my YAKJU GN the 4.1.2 TAKJU factory image and then the TAKJU 4.2. I am rooted with SUPERSU, I have CWM touch and i use an app to disable lock-screen widgets, other than I am stock.
Until yesterday morning everything was running normally. Yesterday night and today my phone freezes when locked, the only way to fix it is to pull the battery.
Has anyone faced the same problem?
Thanks
Haven't had this problem myself, but it sounds like the kind of issues you get with a dirty flash. My best guess would be to try a complete wipe and a fresh install. You may want to wait to see if another member has a different take on it though. Did you restore anything with Titanium Backup?

Nope...apps installed from google servers and i manually fixed the settings.
Thnks

[Q] screen on lag after downgrade from 5.0.2 to 4.4.4

Can anyone help with this. I have a sprint note 4 that I rooted and was working great, but wanted the stock 5.0.2 upgrade. Used odin to install stock 4.4.4 and remove root. Worked fine phone took the 5.0.2 upgrade. Rerooted and installed wifi tether router but could not get it to work, found it is not working on 5.0.2, dam. Used odin once again to return to stock 4.4.4, rooted, installed wifi tether, everything works with one problem. When turning the screen on I now have a severe lag between the button push and the screen light up.
I odined back for other issues and still had problems. .even a backup was not working... i wiped everything, all data etc, 2 times then went back to nie....then took the otas back to lollipop. .now everything works fine except i still hate the colors

Fixed, it was a bad sd card had nothing to do with the dowgrade.
Good to hear you found your problem. However if it's tethering that's keeping you away from Lollipop then you can put that to rest because you can easily enable wifi/usb tethering without the need for a third part app like tether router (which i have payed for as well). If you expect to stay on the factory rom/firmware then Lollipop would be a wise choice due to the new ART (android runtime) and it's overall effeciency compared to KK . It has a lot of benefits and other than the stock colors, there's no reason you shouldn't update to Lollipop. Do a little searching here in the Sprint Note 4 forum and you'll find a few easy ways to enable the built-in tethering.
Thanks for the info, did exactly that, found galaxy tools would provide the tether

You are SOL for now. Cant downgrade rom OE1, but a new OTA is about to come out, I'd sit tight until then. or...Many people flash Noterized Rom. Try flashing that and continue your troubleshooting.
Stuck
