Google Posts Additional Android 4.1.2 Nexus Images, Binaries, And The Nexus Q's First Factory Image

Posted by in Development, Galaxy Nexus, Jelly Bean 4.1, News, Nexus 7, Nexus Q (Steelhead)

Yesterday, Android maintainer JBQ posted up a number of binaries and Android 4.1.2 images for multiple Nexus devices. Owners of international GSM variants of the Galaxy Nexus, though, were left out on the image side. Today, both the "soju" (Nexus S) and "yakju" (Galaxy Nexus GSM) have had their factory images updated to Android 4.1.2, and you can find those images here.

Google also saw fit to finally release a factory image for the Nexus Q, though it's based on Android 4.0.4. A number of driver binaries were added today as well, specifically NFC drivers for the Nexus 7, GSM unlocked Galaxy Nexus (maguro), and both the Sprint and Verizon Galaxy Nexus.

Nexus S 4G Factory Image (4.0.4) Now Available Straight From Google, In Case You're Feeling ROM Remorse

Posted by in News, Nexus S 4G (Crespo4g)

Thanks again to the venerable JBQ of Google, the unmodified factory image of Android 4.0.4 for the Nexus S 4G (sojus, Android 4.0.4 IMM76D) is now available here. As JBQ states on Google+, this image is for those among you who have flashed to custom versions of AOSP and want to get back to factory state. No, by the way, there's still no word on an OTA update yet.

As with all the others, the factory images are available on the Factory Images for Nexus Devices page.

More Info

To get started, head to JBQ's Google+ post on the subject, where he has more info on a known bug where the device reports an incorrect radio version number.

Posted by in Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0, News

Have you modded your Galaxy Nexus a little too much? Do you have the boot loop blues? Google is here to help with an official Galaxy Nexus image.

Flashing the image will wipe out your Nexus and return it to it's original, stock state. You can get your factory fresh copy of Android 4.0.1 right here. The archive contains the bootloader, baseband, and the system files.

Install instructions are the usual ADB shenanigans, full details from JBQ himself can be found here.

Good luck! Oh, and if you can't get your Nexus working, I'll be glad to take it off your hands for you.
