i've used his method for rooting and unlocking my bootloader, quite indepth

ok so it's at the last step now.... and i've successfully unlocked the phone...

phew... can relief now....

so after springfall's step i just continue the JB step in the first page??

yes i do have clockworkmod recovery 5.8.0.2

so i will proceed with caution
but now i just realised something after following your steps... i still see only 4.0.1

4.0.4 only can see that after JB-ing the phone?

My set was 4.0.1 and I directly upgrade to bigxie 4.1 within 2 hours after I got it

Unlock the bootloader

...

Mybe someone need to make pic guide for this 

Hi Benny...

well i didn't take 2 hours (obviously) but i did manage to make it thanks to the guides really noob proof guide XD

but now im stuck on this which 1 to follow because steps only mention

5. Boot to CWM
6. Full wipe
7. Flash ROM + Baseband in one go without reboot

how to do step 6 and 7?

because the options in CWM dont show.

also where to cop the 2 files to in the phone?

sorry.... didn't see your reply >.<... my apologies

well this is why shops charge +-RM50 for root/jailbreaking

im saying it in a negative way and not to you mr kuda pink

    kinda blur case sometimes

I think I'm gonna do just that. Wait for official JB, then flash yakju 4.0.4 to get OTA JB so i dun have to back my contacts and other stuff coz my wife's gnote OTA upgrade to ICS, she dun have to back contacts and other stuff.
But what about this? Coz I'm not sure.

Thanx bros...

Hi there.....in reference to springfall's 4.0.4 yakju guide, I would like to ask the sifu's here a question.

"6- boot up ur toolkit, and select 4.0.4, 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 4.0.2, 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. (vol<> and power)
8a- plug phone in computer, in tool kit, select the number u saw in step 6."
I've check my phone and it only says 4.0.2 and nothing else under the Android Version heading.

So that means I only select 4.0.2 for step 8 right?

I've only done flashing ONCE before using ODIN. this is a bit different.

Wanna be on 4.0.4 takju and get JB soon  

Thanks a lot guys.

Exactly what I need now! Not for myself though. Confirmed working? Read the thread macam confirmed working.
Working 
I only factory reset. So far so good. But I unlocked bootloader before that 
Download takes more time.

Now... My Question
I got another unit of Nexus, yakjuxw, 4.0.2. Confirmed got root access, tried SetCPU can work and also BusyBox installer showed it's rooted but the problem now is... I can't install BusyBox. Tried newest, 1.18.4 , 1.19.4 all can't install. Tried 3~4 of them! Then... I can't use TB which I need it to backup data.

Any idea on this? This unit is the one that get 'conned' for the rooting service. Yet the fellow do half don't do half. Rooted but no SU/SSU/Busybox 

Can I now bet on using the 'BootUnlocker' https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?...11.bootunlocker
unlock bootloader--> root again using toolkit???

Damn anyone got problem sending SMS? I can receivebbut can't send.. calling works fine too

On android 4.1

just a curious question, i did a backup via CWM before flashing to JB... so it's possible to restore it to the previous version with CWM right??

ya i have superuser app inside... perhaps i press deny during app launch because it ask for superuser acces XD (noob error)

Is there any Chance of our phone having virus?
Feeling spiky all of the sudden lol

I'll buy it immediately. No, in fact I'd buy it tonight itself if I can find one. 

wow this thread is filling up fast

i just open the toolkit and try to install the ics it but the toolkit say it cant be install and told me to plugin phone.so anyone can help me?

Today's to-do:  update my contacts' pics to HD so they don't show up all pixellated xD

Wait, I thought you using ICS?  ICS cannot display HD contact pics, I think.  I set from phone in JB.

Now just need a way to set the default contact pic.

Before

revert back to JellyBean only

i just did that this morning, now setting up

on my toolkit it say an error occured.returned to main menu.
so what wrong ?

Tax bro, the Malaysian kastam tax.

If you bought before Google I/O it was a little more expensive.

I thought warranty usually doesn't have exact dates, just the month?

seriously, it's thread not trend lol
