Reboot your device in bootloader mode and be sure fastboot is recognizing your phone with this code: fastboot devices
if you see your serial number's device, you are OK; if not, you have to install Samsung drivers properly.

Can somebody explain how to update to 4.0.2

i just unlocked the bootloader and downloaded the firmware from google (4.0.2 (ICL53F)). As detailed as you can be for a noob, now what? lol, thanks!
Also i have the gsm version, "yakju" for Galaxy Nexus "maguro".
As far as I know, you simply have to unzip the archive and flash the bootloader, radio, recovery, and system images
Extract the tgz
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-maguro-primekk15.img
fastboot flash radio radio-maguro-i9250xxkk6.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot update image-yakju-icl53f.zip
Note no -w on the update. Adding -w will wipe the device before applying the update
ok where exactly do i unzip this file, and how do i flash? i need details!
EDIT: Unzip the files to the same directory as fastboot and open a terminal session in that folder/or CD to that folder.
ok cool, one last question.. when i extract the file it creates a folder in the directory with the files in it. do i take the files and put it in the directory where the folder was created or leave it
Will this lock my bootloader again if I've unlocked it before?

1. All settings/apps/data will be preserved when using this method right?
2. Also will this preserve root?
Thanks for the guide. Just flashed mine. Everything went perfect.

Please Help Me Phone Wont Boot

I tried to Update my GSM GN to Ver 4.0.2 using the manual instructions.
I first downloaded the image for my build (ITL42F). I placed the files in the same folder as the fastboot. then followed the instructions below.
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-maguro-primekk15.img except file name was primekj10
fastboot reboot-bootloader
(wait for bootloader to reboot)
fastboot flash radio radio-maguro-i9250xxkk6.img except file name was i9250xxkk1.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
(wait for bootloader to reboot)
fastboot update image-yakju-icl53f.zip except file name was itl41f.img.
Shows everything was ok and the phone started to reboot. I get the animation screen for 10 minutes but the phone wouldn't boot into the system screen. Please help me.
Joe
Are you sure you had the correct version? ICL53F is 4.0.2. Try using the images here.
Thanks going to try and report.
Reflash with ICL53F
Used the right image file now, the only thing I noticed was when I used the last command "update image-yakju-icl53f.zip" i got
archive does not contain "boot.sig"
archive does not contain "recovery.sig"
archive does not contain "system.sig"
Bootloader Version rimekk15
Baseband Version: I9250kk6
Serial Number:,,,,,,,,,,
Afterwards it run the image and show okay on the bottom and the phone reboot, but still just the animation is on and the phone is not booting to the system.
Any ideas please.
Joe.
From what you wrote it seems like you didn't wipe data.
Your final command should be:
Code:
fastboot -w update image-yakju-icl53f.zip
That was my lsat command and the above showed up. It seems to have ran everything but still not booting.
OK. Because your original post didn't have the -w flag before the "update image-yakju-icl53f.zip" so I assumed you didn't wipe.
Are you currently trying to flash the 4.0.2 build? If so, follow these commands exactly:
Code:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-maguro-primekk15.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-maguro-i9250xxkk6.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot -w update image-yakju-icl53f.zip
Workssssssss
You are the man, thank you so much. The -w is what I was missing, now it's working again. I have 4.0.2.....
Thanks again
Joe
No problem man.

Does it have an SDcard in it with a rom in /dload? It sounds like it may be looking for this. Get a card in it and do a force reset (volume up/down pressed and power button pressed .

[Flashing STOCK ROM from Custom Rom] [No Recovery Mode, Fastboot accessible]

I followed these steps and now my Asus zf2 (ze551ml) is back alive! For the issue mentioned below, I didn't find much anywhere so I thought I'd put here what helped me.
Issue: Only fastboot mode accessible, can't enter recovery. (Also my bootloader was locked, MM bootloader, No OS). After selecting recovery mode from bootloader, again it enters fastboot, i.e the process in video above couldn't install the recovery (This must be because my bootloader was locked). I tried unlocking the bootloader by the .bat files available on XDA but since I'd not enabled OEM unlocking, unlocking failed everytime. My OS got wiped out, so only fastboot mode was accessible.
Solution:
I believe you have installed Minimal ADB and fastboot on your PC.
Download the raw file from the XDA thread.
Now first of all, change extention of the .raw firmware file to .zip.
Then just extract all files from it into adb and fastboot folder.
Now in folder (where you placed files from raw firmware and adb and fastboot tool folder) at empty place anywhere in folder hold Shift on computer keyboard and right click with mouse. Now click open command window here.
Perform the following commands one after another:
1. fastboot devices ( see if it is recognized: else plug out usb and plugin again, if USB debugging was on then this will definitely work)
2. fastboot oem erase_osip_header
3. fastboot oem start_partitioning
4. fastboot flash /tmp/partition.tbl partition.tbl
5. fastboot oem partition /tmp/partition.tbl
6. fastboot erase system
7. fastboot erase cache
8. fastboot erase data
9. fastboot erase APD
10. fastboot erase ADF
11. fastboot oem wipe splashscreen
12. fastboot oem stop_partitioning
13. fastboot flash splashscreen splash_sign.bin
14. fastboot flash token MFG_BOM_Full.bin
15. fastboot flash ifwi ifwi-prod.bin
16. fastboot flash boot boot_sign.bin
17. fastboot flash recovery recovery_sign.bin
18. fastboot flash fastboot droidboot_sign.bin
19. fastboot flash APD APD.img
20. fastboot flash system system.img
21. fastboot reboot
Phone will successfully reboot into system. Don't worry, first boot gonna take a little longer time.
Download raw file
Hello,
From where I can download raw file? Can you please provide a link?

Question Does anyone have FULL Fastboot Flashing steps?

Does anyone have the full fastboot flashing steps from the Bootloader to everyfile in the image file.zip?
I'm not sure exactly what you're asking. To be rooted? To merely flash full stock firmware? If the latter, just extract the full firmware zip and the latest Platform Tools into the same folder. If you don't want to wipe your phone, edit the Flash-All.bat with Notepad (assuming you're running Windows) and remove the "-w ", and save the file. Then open a command prompt in that folder, type Flash-All.bat and press enter. That's it.
If you're asking what are the steps the Flash-All.bat takes to flash everything that's in the inner zip file that's unextracted, just open the Flash-All.bat with Notepad and take a look.
If you're wanting to be rooted, [GUIDE] Root Pixel 6 Pro with Magisk.
If none of my guesses are correct, please be more specific of what exactly you're asking.
Wouldn't it be just fastboot flash filename "file location" for each file?

Every device is different, with Motorola we started with :
fastboot gat-var
and flashed each image seperately.
The "flash-all.bat" only does a "fastboot update <update.zip>" - so no individual flashing of image files.....

You could open a command shell and run the flash-all.bat from there - then you at least see the output of the command.
Or you can enter the commands from the flash-all.bat manually in a commandline window (everything starting with "fastboot..." )....

OK, I don't know LIX - is that some kind of Linux ?
I would still assume you can execute the dividual fastboot commands from the flash-all.bat (flash-all.sh) manually ?!

LIX is short for Linux
I'm not sure if fastboot would work in a Linux terminal window as I've always used Windows... Best of luck finding a solution!
Oh, and by the way, you can use fastboot in CMD and flash individual partitions with it. An example command of flashing the bootloader file would be:
"fastboot flash bootloader bootloaderfilename.img"
You essentially just have to change the last word before the filename to flash different partitions (aside from when you're flashing the update image, as it's a little bit different then).
Also note that the bootloader.img file would have to be in the exact same location as your adb and fastboot files. But again, I'm not at all sure how it would work on Linux...

If you want to flash each image separately, you can follow these steps (for some images, sequence is important, so I suggest following the sequence below to avoid issues)
