[Verizon] How do I flash back to stock ROM

[wilkster79]

My Gnex is on BB ROM, and I want to flash it back to stock and relock the bootloader. Is there a SIMPLE step by step process out there?

I do use ROM manager, and backed up my orginal ICS ROM. Can I just flash back to this backup, or will the bootloader still be unlocked?

Also, I used Wugs to unlock and root phone, and it looks like there is an option to relock and flash back to stock on there.....does this do the trick?

Thanks for the help!

This should have everything you need to do what you are asking.

P.S. Someone who has used Wugs might answer your second question, I have never used it to be honest.

If you have the adb and fastboot utilities installed and are comfortable using them, use the method provided above. I've done it that way and the instructions are easy to follow.

If you aren't familiar with adb/fastboot, make sure your wugs toolkit is up to date and use the re flash stock and relock option.

while "learning" the commands as some benifeit.

I swear by WUGS, just click the button choose the correct stock rom(It'll even download it for you) and your done...

I've used it 2-3 times for warranty/insurance returns.

Your original ICS rom saved with ROM manager would still be rooted and the bootloader would still be unlocked. I have not unrooted, but once I got the driver issue(s) figured out I used Wug's to unlock and root, sounds like others have had good luck using it to go the other way.

good luck
