But that means no Jelly Bean experience for him too.

i think he update to 4.0.4 yakju will be good enuff atm...once he read enuff edi he shoudl able to go JB without problem

Nothing comes close to Jelly Bean at the moment bro. And if he goes with the root-without-unlocking-bootloader way, he will have to unlock the bootloader sometime in the future for custom ROMs. If he doesn't he'll be poisoned by me.

I skipped yakju process.
From yakjuxw jump to android revolution hd ROM.

i personally suggest beginner to learn at least to use the toolkit to flash to yakju build 1st or rooting

I skipped everything, didn't even bother setting up the phone.
Got phone, straight to Paranoid Android ROM.

BTW, anyone here actually got their phone with an unlocked bootloader?
My AP Domoco Nexus came unlocked.

personally jumped from yakjuxw to aokp 37 if i remembered correctly,
never looked back

maybe they shouldn't get nexus phone in the first place

sme set wont be unlocked.....i bought it and the next few days unlocked myself, root and flashed to 4.0.4 yakju

I bought the Nexus because I like how it's black and simple. No other reason.
Maybe I'm just weird.

bought it for pure google experience, and buttonless front =D
got one stranger came and ask me if i'm using S3, i quickly say no.

No! This is too awesome to be compared with an S3.
This has Jelly Bean and it makes all S3 users go jelly.

didnt know got such thing called ownhere. just tried and it's works well on JB. thanks guys!!

Use toolkit unlock n root so simple like ABC
You ask him to follow that guide you will see another round of 1000 questions
He is obviously noob n do not even advise him to touch adb stuffs yet

wow you're kinda mean... anyways i will just proceed with the root and data wipe..

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.

You are not alone. All see this will ask whether it's S3. When did they see S3 with full black front, even the bezel is black

Who knows he expert in adb before using the toolkit

No need to mention names bro, I'm sure he's stopping you because he doesn't want you to brick your brand new phone. Anyway, good luck proceeding, I'll try to find as many video guides as possible for you.

flash it with CWM

don take it so hard .....

just backup up ur stuff.........even better if its new...no need to worry about lossing data

then proceed......just make sure u know wat u r doing and one more thing

Take ur time and don rush

Root using the toolkit. Go read it. Is a no brainer tool
Just click n select . How more simpler than that?
Then install titanium backup to backup apps plus data
Root process takes only 2 mins

Guyz,wan to ask,if using yakjuxw no root,will b late to get upgrade to jellybean? Or shd go for yakju instead? Planing get it on next week since duno s3 when will have jellybean
