[BOOTLOADER] primeLA03

bootloader LA03 from leaked 4.0.4 cdma build, i successfully flashed (via cwm recovery 5.5.0.4 & fastboot) to my galaxy nexus GSM.
NO changelog!
credits to whoever posted it in galaxy nexus general forums, i just took out cdma radio parts and removed toro & radio lines from updater-script.
warning: flashing bootloader IS dangerous! i am not responsible if you brick your phone, it worked on mine, who knows if it will work on yours.. i don't.
if you don't know why you should flash this, then DON'T!
zip md5: adf8cd5ea69e00d99769767a3b9fc630
flash via recovery or extract .img and flash via fastboot.

I meant that people had noticed..or from a Dev who had opened it up for a look. That's why I didn't ask for an actual change log lol usually people notice changes quite quickly such as improvements or decrease in performance

Flashing bootloader is always dangerous, method used is not important.

What's the benefit?

Thanks for your answers I downloaded it and md5 matches up so should be ok but do you know if this will be OK for 4.0.2 roms?

Bootloaders and Radios are independent of Android version. Go ahead.
Does it matter what bootloader you are coming from? Can this be flashed from 4.03?
Also, are there any benefits of flashing a new bootloader besides it looking different?

They're independent of ANYTHING. Go ahead and just flash.
New bootloader = stuff behind the scenes. Will never know unless it comes from Google, it's like flashing a BIOS.
I have no more battery drop after reboot with this bootloader, look like it have a new battery driver.

Probably none.
Could this have messed up access to the market, does anyone else notice that? Market force closes as soon as I click on an app.

I think I've narrowed it down to that though.. Would anyone have the previous bootloader as a cwm flashable zip? Am at work, no pc..
flashed it this morning ... no issue so far ... also market works :thumbup:

[Q] Virgin IMM30D here... ready to update, got a question (:

I just got a Galaxy Nexus from the Google Play store and it's on the IMM30D firmware. I downloaded the JRN84D firmware from Google's servers, but when I boot into recovery (stock), there's only an option to update from the /cache directory... I don't really want to do CWM, so is there a method using ADB to apply the update? And if so, anyone have a link on how to do so?
Thanks
There is a way, but it requires an unlocked bootloader.

Okay that would work... I don't mind unlocking the bootloader because I can lock it again after I'm done. Do you have instructions on how to do it?
Thanks!

Look at the update link in my signature. Follow the method that moves the file to /cache

Maybe by deleting updatecmds folder from /system/etc/
there is no rollout ota yet
No OTA yet but I downloaded the factory build yesterday and used it to flash to 4.1.2 without any issue

If you flash that an not just the ota it will wipe everything on your phone.

If you skip flashing the userdata image, it will not wipe.

You can just remove the -w switch in the flash-all.sh script to leave data alone

Flashable zip stock kernel? 4.3

Is there one about? I've searched but nothing came up
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Make one. Or just get it (boot.img) from the update-XYZ.zip inside a factory image and flash with fastboot.

TWRP and encripted data?

On my gnex, just to test it out I encripted the phone and after it was ejcripted I rebooted into TWRP (2.6.3.1) and when I entered the encription key it failed to decript. The phone decripts and boots up fine with the key but in twrp I cannot decript the data to load a new kernel or ROM to flash. Is there a solution for this?

Have you tried updating to 2.6.3.2? It's the latest version for maguro, not sure if that's the variant you're using.

Try to look in /cache/recovery/log for errors, or /cache/recovery/last_log after rebooting into Android.

What ROM are you using? CM, PA, ...? I don't have a toro, but I can encrypt my maguro to check up on something, to compare something I've seen in your log. Who's the twrp maintainer for toro?
Anyone got an encrypted toro that could come in the discussion?
