bootloader LA03 from leaked 4.0.4 cdma build, i successfully flashed (via cwm recovery 5.5.0.4 & fastboot) to my galaxy nexus GSM.

NO changelog!

credits to whoever posted it in galaxy nexus general forums, i just took out cdma radio parts and removed toro & radio lines from updater-script.

warning: flashing bootloader IS dangerous! i am not responsible if you brick your phone, it worked on mine, who knows if it will work on yours.. i don't.

if you don't know why you should flash this, then DON'T!

zip md5: adf8cd5ea69e00d99769767a3b9fc630

flash via recovery or extract .img and flash via fastboot.

I meant that people had noticed..or from a Dev who had opened it up for a look. That's why I didn't ask for an actual change log lol usually people notice changes quite quickly such as improvements or decrease in performance

Does it matter what bootloader you are coming from? Can this be flashed from 4.03?

Also, are there any benefits of flashing a new bootloader besides it looking different?

Do you not read what I just said?
Bootloaders and Radios are independent of Android version. Go ahead.

They're independent of ANYTHING. Go ahead and just flash.
New bootloader = stuff behind the scenes. Will never know unless it comes from Google, it's like flashing a BIOS.

    This thread is very misleading. I just want to clarify on what the bootloader actually does. When your phone first turns on, The bootloader initiates and moves kernel resources into ram were it can be executed. then the kernel takes the load, and starts up android.. you will notice absolutely no changes what so ever in the way android performs. If you notice any improvment it would be a probably unoticible difference in how fast your phone boots up. Flashing it is not worth it. If the smallest thing goes wrong you have a brick. If it all goes right then you have no performance increases;)

    If this post helped you, or you just appreciate me typing it out, then please press the thanks button:D

    Flashing bootloader is always dangerous, method used is not important.
