Wind mobile which model

Hello, I am looking to root and unlock bootloader of my wife's phone so I can get her 4.2, however, I am not sure which phone model is hers.
I am using the toolkit 7.8.
She got her phone from Wind Mobile.
I believe her phone is version "7" (Yakju-Maguro JRO03C) based on her currently being on 4.1.1 as well as the build number starting with JRO03C but then having a series of numbers and letters following this.

If you could also help me with which image to get to put 4.2 that would be great.
I am thinking it should be the "yakju" based on the Canadian Wind Mobile model?
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images

Thanks for your confirmation and any help you can provide.

As long as her phone is GSM, you can flash either the yakju or takju image, it doesn't matter. It's your choice.
You don't have to flash the image depending upon the current build.

If you still want to know the the firmware, have a look at this thread.

HOW CAN I TELL WHICH FIRMWARE I HAVE ON MY DEVICE
Using any file manager app, go into your /system folder and open the file called "build.prop". Find the line that starts with ro.product.name. Whatever comes after the equals sign (=), that's the firmware you have.

I am not rooted yet though so I cannot confirm the version.
I suppose I will go through the process of installing drivers and rooting and hope I pick the right one?

You don't need to be rooted to see the build.prop

Problems unrooting, restoring, and locking my phone

Hello,

I love your web site. It is the best guide to taking the full advantage of Android phones, IMO. However, I have a problem and need your help.

I ran your one-click script to unroot and restore my phone (VZW Galaxy Nexus) to 4.22 . It simply locked the phone but didn't unroot or restore it. When I power up into the bootloader it says I'm locked, but I still have root access and the custom ROM I installed. I need to revert to stock, unroot, and lock the bootloader so I can return the phone. Please help!

My guess is I can't flash the stock ROM and unroot the phone while the bootloader is locked. So what happens if I unlock the bootloader now? I'm not sure there is any stock ROM on my phone for it to go to after it resets everything in the process.

Thanks

Not sure what ROM that is, but if it isn't made for our device then no. You would need to port it. If whatever it is, isn't open source (Sense UI, Touchwiz....etc), then it probably won't be able to be ported.
