I have it posted on my site and at a mirror. Can't really control how fast either one of them are, so I guess you'll just have to deal with it if you really need it now.
Can this be used to return to factory settings or to unbrick after unlocking the bootloader

This is an invaluable tool. Thanks!

Guys, don't forget about Triangle Away if you've tripped your flash counter. It doesn't look like it's been updated for the I605 yet but we've only been unlocked for a couple days. My guess is it'll soon be updated if it doesn't work already.

From what I was told in IRC, this will relock your bootloader. I am going to extract the files and re-tar them in a package that will restore you to stock but retain the unlocked bootloader then, just haven't gotten to it yet.
Has anyone tried this and verified if it does re-lock the boot loader?

I'm asking because I had to take my Galaxy Nexus to Verizon for a warranty replacement, and would never have been able to do that if I didn't have a method of locking the bootloader, un-rooting, and removing all traces of my shenanigans.

So if I could get an absolute "Yes this locks the bootloader." from someone, I will be comfy enough to proceed.

Thanks!

(Or if there's another method of re-locking that I haven't been able to find, could someone tell me? I just want something chambered if/when I have to take this phone to Verizon.)

The easiest way to find out if it works is to have someone unlocked flash it, then attempt to flash a custom boot.img or recovery.img via Odin. A good test item would be the last Odin package that is flashed via the unlock process. If the phone still accepts the full package, it is still unlocked.

In my opinion though, if the flash counter is at 0, and the other checks all say factory or original firmware/software, then Verizon really has no way to tell if the bootloader is unlocked or not.

So flashing this sets the flash counter to 0? The flash counter thing is a new concept to me. I rooted and flashed a zillion roms on my Galaxy Nexus and never thought about something counting the number of flashes.

I don't know if it will reset the flash counter or not. I do not believe the full package trips the flash counter (being that it is an official package). Has anyone flashed the full package after the flash counter incremented and looked to see if the current counter reset to 0? If not, I'm hoping that Chainfire can update TriangleAway for the Verizon version then so we can reset it.

I can't sideload apps. The install button doesn't do anything just the cancel button can be pushed. So I was gonna try to go back to stock and redo everything. I unlocked this morning so should I try the complete stock odin file and redo everything or try the altered one to keep the unlocked bootloader?

invalid md5 message

When trying to load this file it tells me invalid md5 file.I am in need of a valid MD5 file to get rid of the dreaded yellow triangle after loading and using beans 1 rom. I see also you have unlocked version of file as well. Will that work as a stock file or does anyone please have a working link to download a tar file to go back to complete stock?

Thanks

Check sum in Odin

Here is an "official" Odin restore file to return your phone back to the shipping software. Why is this useful? Well, to restore your phone back to the stock software. This is an invaluable tool for anyone messing around with their phone. If/when an OTA update is released, I'll post any future stock Odin files here as well, but for now, there is only one. A nice way to say thanks is the donate button as well, and it will help keep my hosting alive for these huge Odin files.

Instructions
  1. Download the file below
  2. Put your phone into download mode and connect it to your computer
  3. Open Odin and make sure your phone is selected
  4. Put the downloaded file in the PDA box
  5. Press start
  6. Enjoy a stock phone

Alternate Restore - Return to stock but keep an unlocked bootloader

NOTE: I am not responsible for any issues caused by flashing this. Do so at your own risk. If you don't know what you're doing, then you may want to take a few extra minutes to read up on flashing with Odin before you make a very expensive paperweight

Do these files need to be unzipped first? Odin does not seem to check sum them
