QUOTE(moyong @ Jul 1 2012, 09:29 PM) ok so 1st thing to do is unlock bootloader so that at least the wipe wont wipe much since it's still loaded with default aps and stuff correct? --unlock ur bootloader so it will not wipe ur sdcard when u wanna do stuff in future ya i read it a few times and it does seems easy it's just downloading the required files, plug in upload and root/flash the issue i have now is root/flash because i dont really what they mean and how it works but will give it a try soon. --u will find out soon does conversion to JB (called root or flash?) wipe out data too? --apparently not(data by means of sdcard) contacts all, google will sync back. again most important is to first unlock the bootloader? it just enables mods and stuff right? will anything happen if i just unlock it and continue using the phone without proceeding with any flash/root/mod (so many terms --leaving it unlock got no problems, in fact most of us leave it unlocked well at least im not a total IT nood -- dun worry i'm just saying itz good to intro stuff, not let u bang wall 1st... (later we all get problems like ios haters) new terms will be picked up fast, be4 u know it, u know it~ you mentioned (and i also saw) there's 2 softwares CWM and toolkit correct? --cwm is a recovery part of the phone, for flashing stuff --toolkit to put cwm, root, and unlock and restore back to stock if things happen always use CWM because it's safer and use toolkit to unlock bootloader?? --answred above if i first unlock the bootloader and subsequently wait until july for the OTA JB will it also wipe my data then? --leave the bootloader locked/unlocked, unrooted, on stock yakju, then OTA will come, i dun think it will wipe ur data. if yes should i just flash it to JB it when im comfortable with the phone? -- if u r confy, flash away like what IwanAGP said, he know his stuff, he went straight JB |

Why ask again when I already say it Your continuous line of questioning is irritating please study phone more first explore it learn the basics now question overload..

" it's a continuous sentence hence i can't understand it but now i do after your confirmation. thanks for understanding 2nd thing, like other sifu mentioned, I WOULD DITCH THE INSTALLED APPS 3rd thing, is ur phone ap or SME, why u allow pple go install apps into ur phone 4th thing, if u see unlocked padlock, just play wif it and familarise with ur phone. then read my guide on how to root and what in 1st page... hope tats simple..

BTW, anyone here actually got their phone with an unlocked bootloader? My AP Domoco Nexus came unlocked. Added on July 2, 2012, 7:02 am QUOTE(moyong @ Jul 2 2012, 01:33 AM) wow you're kinda mean... anyways i will just proceed with the root and data wipe.. tats y u gotta read my coments...my concern was never on the rooting or flashing process.... i was concern on the backup and yes i do know that it's not possible to backup DATA before unlocking bootloader i actually wanted to backup the apps, since my phone is brand new there's no DATA to backup.... anyhow since there's no way to do this (which is extremely emphasised by benny888) i'll just have to proceed to wipe out the data.... better to lose my apps now than to lose data when i begin to use the phone. no offence against benny888 understand he's grumpy with all the noob questions i made but then again if i dont ask these question how am i to learn and proceed with using the phone up to it's potential. if i just wanted a phone to make calls and sms i might as well get a nokia 3100 and stick to it forever. Moving on to another level is always painful at first and thanks to this forum i've actually learned a lot with all the supports from the sifus here I dont mine being flamed as it will not deter me from learning and asking more. it's part of the learning process. i told u to get used to it 1st.... and i even linked u to my post on tool kit faq... MOYONG>>>>READ THIS, this will bring ur phone to STOCK YAKJU 4.0.4, rooted, UNLOCKED, and CWM ready 1- download v7 galaxy tool kit here tool kit 2- Install it 3- go Here and download Factory Images "yakju" for Galaxy Nexus "maguro" (GSM/HSPA+) or just save this yakju 4- navigate to ''C:\Galaxy Nexus toolkit\ put_google_factory_image_here\'' and place the downloaded file 5- go to control panel\hardware and sound\ device manager, look for anything related to samsung galaxy nexus or samsung mobile driver. uninstall it, if not present then continue. if windows 7 then ok) 6- boot up ur toolkit, and select 4.0.1, then type the number for the option (install/uninstall galaxy nexus drivers on your PC) installed. reboot computer. while w8ing check ur phone, settings\about phone\android version\ u will see 4.0.1, or some number, remember it. 7- boot up tool kit again, turn off phone. turn on phone again but hold down all buttons u can reach.

QUOTE(fallout @ Jul 2 2012, 05:00 PM) You can choose to flash to yakju but there is no point doing it because they are the same except updates. If you want JB, wait till it is out and flash that instead. i think he updated from 4.0.2 yakjuxx to 4.0.4 yakjuxx.. meaning if u ask him w8 JB update, we will be eating key lime cake |
