Yesterday I got myself a galaxy nexus. Today I noticed, that there is a little lock on the boot screen. And when I enter fast boot mode, it says on the bottom that my device is unlocked. Is that normal, or is my device already unlocked?

It should come locked, but that shouldn't be a problem

I have rooted all of my phones from day one or the first day possible! Nexus One, G2, and the G2x.
But the GNex is the first phone that I haven't had the urge to root, stock ICS performs so well that I am happy with it just the way it is AWESOME JOB GOOGLE

Seeing as it says i9250 right in it, and you are asking about i515, i'm gonna assume (i know i shouldn't, but will anyways) no. And is that supposed to be a link, or just a tar file you found somewhere that you decided to share the name of?
uh hate to point out the obvious but it also has i515 in the filename as well. so who knows which its for. the better question, where was this file found ?

It seems to be a slightly older version of the OTA.

Simply search and download the GNex toolkit. It will do everything for you

Or.... just root manually because it's extremely simple.
OP, on a Nexus, no update is going to break your ability to root the device.
If you updated your GNex yesterday, shouldn't your Version be IMM76I?
Thanks alot guys. I just bought this phone, I really don't know which its which. I had HTC evo and evo 3d, and when you update your phone your basically screwed. That's why I was worried.

When I contacted Samsung that when will the release 4.0.4 for Saudi arabian (yakjujp) GNex... they said " Please be advsied that although it is Samsung who made it, the Galaxy Nexus is a Google phone and thus its updates are not from Samsung but must come from Google itself."

Not to sound like a **** or anything, but the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit would easily allow you to unlock the bootloader and flash Google's stock factory image for 4.0.4. Much easier than waiting for it OTA...

Couldn't agree more on switching-to-yakju part. I don't like tookits.
A few fastboot commands and you're up running the latest yakju.
That...is kind of correct though....

Samsung are the ones to handle their own specific versions of ICS for the Galaxy Nexus.
Google manages in no way the various yakjuXX (where XX defines a region number) releases.

Why would you believe a tech rep to have any clue about this? Of course they are going to give out wrong info.
Its like the people who actually believe what a Verizon sales person says. They just work it as a job making $11 an hour in high school. How would they know anything or care.

I don't think that's fair. They could've chosen anyone and yet they still chose Samsung. Must've done it for a reason, right?

Why's that?, it cant always be a samsung, htc was already done, LG and Sony i doubt it and other brands are unlikely
So that leaves motorola or samsung again

Cause google seems to like putting the nexus in the most popular platform
But i thought the would use motorola just for a change of pace, and it seems easier for them

Not necessarily rooted but it has got its bootloader unlocked and with a custom kernel i.e. no longer stock. Clearly the person who previously owned the phone didn't bother returning it to stock before he passed/sold it to your brother.
