yeps unlocking bootloader will wipe everything. That one just have to tahan la haha, later need to download all apps again. It's ok, better to ask then brick your phone

I shall not let my temptation breaks free !

yes, unlocked bootloader will wipe your device.

all your files saved under internal SD card, will not impact when you flash custom rom. after flash custom rom, not recommended restore back the apps via recovery. the best is, use Titanium backup. after flash the custom rom. use TB restore back App only.

Got my Galaxy Nexus! add me to user list.

huhu then i think i better stick back to stock 4.0.1 lo... any1 get 4.0.2 update for non-yakju phone?

Samsung Galaxy S II bundle returns to Maxis

for those prefer maxis, will maxis offer GNex in future? for me, I don't care

so far, only heard from yakju phone get 4.0.2 update. no luck for non-yakju.
urs is non-yakju? why not flash to yakju?

mine is non yakju too. but wth, flashing to yakju and then ARHD straight away.

need to root + backup + unlock will wipe data... scare did something wrong and my gnex bb And 4.0.2 just fix minor bug for verizon phone (correct me if i am wrong). But 4.0.3 got a lot change.. So maybe wait till 4.0.3 officially come out only change to yakju if yakjuxw still no update... Eh the maxis data plan there still old price with 3GB rm88... bundle with phone more expensive ka?

so can I use titanium backup to restore from the backup taken by gnex toolkit?
is titanium and nandroid apps?

i'm not sure if it's a common issue.. but at digi when i collect my phone.. the back cover can't close completely.. one of the second bottom hinge did not have an opening.. it's a molding issue.. i could cut the opening myself but i requested another unit.. so for those who collect.. might wanna check out that.. if u didnt' pay attention u might not notice its'not close.. but look closely it's a small bump

no way. install TB now before you take next action. backup all your apps by TB first.

show us picture if possible, to get more understanding what happening on your device.

*edit: ops.. you already request another unit....

i got that one. but lucky it didnt bother me much. it has small bump but it is properly closed so no small things can enter.

v4.0.2
The Android 4.0.2 update was released on 28 November 2011, and fixed minor bugs on the Verizon Galaxy Nexus, the US launch of which was later delayed until December 2011

*Taken from Wikipedia. So i think there is no need rush to update 4.0.2 unless we want yakju in our phone.

my fone is currently dead...tried to boot but it is not booting..only google logo+a lock...till morning no progress haha.
So suggest me whether my solution below is fine?
1. Factory setting reset
2. Unroot and lock again ( I guess not required because already reset)
3. Backup restore using Gnex toolkit
4. Start the flashing stuff again after creating Titanium backup
5. Once I m satisfied with my custom rom and kernel -> do Nandroid backup.

question..-> if something goes wrong or want to restore back to my best custom rom and kernel with all apps...can I restore everything from some other rom+kernel to my old backup using nandroid?

one thing for sure, it has verizon bloat apps and verizon logo at the back! and i think thats all the diff...

maybe for newbie, stay and familiar with stock first. for huge improvement or mod is only happen in custom rom in short term. once you ready, unlock bootloader, flash recovery, nandroid, flash custom rom.
next step, flash any better kernel, flash newer version of radio, mod launcher and so on.. really fun on flashing...

Because of the fun.. Everyday i am tempted to root my phone but i dont have that guts to do so.. + i am newbie... Need to find sifu sit beside me only can... Who wan teach me tuition for rooting!! Haha... $$$$$$$

buy usb jig first if afraid.
