First of let me begin by telling you that you MUST be good at following instructions to do these modifications to your phone. I've written several files with enough info in them to help anyone with a brain. No offense.:P

NOTE: As the ToolKit.exe and ModsSection.exe files aren't Digitally Signed with a Microsoft Certificate they 'may' get picked up as potentially harmful by Antivirus Programs and deleted on first run. If this happens restore the file and exclude it from future scans to use it.

PLEASE READ THE *FAQ* IN POST#2 BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS

--------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------

1. INSTALLING ADB/FASTBOOT DRIVERS

The first thing you need to do is to install the adb/fastboot drivers. These are needed so that you can unlock your bootloader, root your phone and flash CWM (ClockworkMod) Recovery.

THE DRIVERS CAN NOW BE INSTALLED DIRECTLY VIA THE TOOLKIT. OPTION 1 IN THE MAIN MENU.
IF YOU HAVE ANY TROUBLE WITH THE TOOLKIT INSTALLING THE DRIVERS PLEASE POST IN THIS THREAD WITH YOUR OPERATING SYSTEM VERSION AND ERROR MESSAGE.

a. If you dont want to use the ToolKit to install the drivers then the best best drivers to try are PdaNet for Android, download and run the 32-bit Windows 7/Vista/XP or 64-bit Windows 7/Vista and follow the instructions to install (selecting Samsung as your device manufacturer if asked).

You can remove pdanet for Android from your phone and pc at a later time without removing the drivers.

b. After the drivers have been installed disconnect the usb cable and shut down your phone. Keep holding the 'Volume Up' and 'Volume Down' buttons and press the 'Power' button to boot the phone into FastBoot Mode.

c. Goto your Control Panel on your PC and open the Device Manager. You want this open so you can see the FastBoot driver is installed or so you can install it manually.

d. Connect the usb cable. In the Device Manager a new item called 'Android 1.0' should pop up and then the driver should install automatically. Once it is installed you will have a new section in the Device Manager called Android Phone without an "!" meaning its installed correctly.

MAKE SURE YOU ENABLE USB DEBUGGING IN SETTINGS, DEVELOPER OPTIONS BEFORE CONNECTING THE USB CABLE IN ADB MODE SO THAT THE PC CAN DETECT THE PHONE PROPERLY.

Note 1: If the driver doesnt install automatically then double click on the Android 1.0 item, then click on the driver tab and select 'update driver'. Select 'browse my computer' and then 'Let me pick from a list'. If no items appear in the list then untick 'Show compatible hardware' and find the Android adb driver or Samsung adb driver.

Note 2: If you are still having problems setting up the fastboot drivers then have a read of *THIS* guide which may help you.

Note 3: Samsung Verizon Drivers can be downloaded *HERE*. These drivers will most probably only work on LTE devices.

Note 4: Sprint users may have better luck downloading drivers from *HERE* (click on 'See All Downloads' then select 'Software' at the bottom) if you cant get the automatic drivers to work from the ToolKit.

--------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------

2. USING MSKIPS' GALAXY NEXUS TOOLKIT

a. Download the Galaxy Nexus ToolKit package and run to install the ToolKit to your PC. The installation will also create a Shortcut on your desktop called 'Galaxy Nexus ToolKit' for easy access. You now have the option to include or exclude the drivers files at installation so if you already have your drivers set up and are just updating the ToolKit then you can untick the drivers if you wish.

b. Once the ToolKit is installed put your phone into Fastboot Mode (Hold 'Volume Up' and 'Volume Down' buttons whilst pressing the 'Power' Button) and double click on the 'Galaxy Nexus ToolKit' shortcut on your desktop to run it. You can also connect your phone whilst it is in Android as it detects adb mode and you can boot to Fastboot from the Main Menu if you want to.

c. The first screen will ask you which model and Build you have (GSM or LTE) and set up the Main Menu accordingly.

d. When you enter the Main Menu you will see 'Fastboot Mode' and 'Adb Mode' at the top. If you have installed your drivers correctly then you will see your phones serial number under the mode you are in at the time. If you see this then your device is connected and you can carry on.

e. Each option has full and detailed information on what it is and how to use it.

f. After you have finished you can either boot straight into CWM Recovery to flash a Custom Rom (if you have already downloaded one and copied it to the root of your Internal Memory on your phone) or boot back into Android as normal.

--------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------

3. FLASHING A ROM, RADIO OR KERNEL VIA CWM RECOVERY

a. Download your chosen Rom, Radio or Kernel from the Development Forum, then make sure your phone is booted up as normal and connect your usb cable so it goes into MTP Mode. Copy the .zip file (DO NOT UNZIP IT FIRST) to the 'Internal Storage' part on your phone. Do not copy it to a Sub Directory as it will be harder to find when flashing it.

b. Enter CWM Recovery by first entering the Fastboot mode Screen (Disconnect the usb cable (if you have one plugged in), then shut down your phone. Keep holding the 'Volume Up' and 'Volume Down' buttons and press the 'Power' button to boot the phone into FastBoot Mode), then select 'Recovery mode' by pressing the 'Volume Down' button and then press the 'Power' button to enter CMW Recovery.

You can also enter Recovery by downloading Rom Manager (free from the Market) which gives you the option to reboot to Recovery.

c. Scroll down to 'Install zip from sdcard' and select. Then select 'choose zip from sdcard'.

d. Scroll to your Roms' zip file and select. Then scroll down to 'Yes' in the list and select to start flashing the Rom.

e. When flashing is finished select 'Go Back' until you get to the Main Menu and then select 'reboot system now' to reboot your phone into Android.

I also do not take credit for any type of development of these ROMs in any way shape form or fashion. All respects go to the developers themselves. I do this because torrents can be the most reliable way to preserve things. I hate broken links.

I'm open to requests and feedback as well. Send 'em to me


Enjoy.
