Hello,
So I read some different topics on the forums and decided I would "convert" my Yakjuxw Galaxy Nexus to a Yakju one. So I did that, and kinda expected a OTA notice regarding 4.0.2 and got nothing. I've been running the device as a Yakju for 4 days now, and I'm beginning to think I did something wrong while converting it.
My question is though, did I do something wrong since I haven't recieved the OTA?
And what can I do to get the latest ICS version on my Galaxy Nexus while still being able to get OTA updates directly from Google?
Thanks for your time and Merry Christmas (For those of you who celebrate Christmas)
Why don't you just install the 4.0.2 ITL41F stock image from google.

Hi,
You didn't do anything wrong if your phone still boots! What happens with these updates a lot of the time is they are rolled out in batches, say 5,000 phones at a time. Not all phones will receive the update at the exact same time, and some phones can even go weeks before receiving the update while some phones may already have it. If your phone still boots, you haven't done anything wrong Just a matter of waiting. Or you can install a custom ROM which most of those are already on 4.0.3. This way you can always be on the bleeding edge
Best bet is if you don't mind backing up all your stuff is to simply flash 4.0.2 directly from the link provided by nabiladeeb
Also if you really want to make sure everything is ok do *#*#checkin#*#* from the dialler and download the GN update checker from the market and that will tell you if you are on the stock google build
Stopped rolling out 4.0.2?
I switched my phone from Yakjuxw to Yakju yesterday. I know the 4.0.2 updated rolled out a few days ago. Does anyone know if it's too late to get the OTA update without manually doing it? Anyone get the OTA 4.0.2 after changing in the last couple of days? Want to avoid erasing everything again by unlocking the bootloader...
This has probably been answered before by one or two people, but I'd rather know from the whole lot of you brave souls who have switched from yakjuux to yakju.
I'm specifically wondering from those of you that have done the COMPLETE switchover to the yakju build... that includes ALL things that come with it, including it's radio.
I know we can flash the KL1 radio on top, but I'm not looking to do that. I want the entire thing to be from Google, and keep it as such. From what I understand, when you have the yakju build, and the KL1 radio, you will not get OTA updates automatically, thus having to flash manually. On the flip side, if its a complete yakju, including the radio that comes with it, you will get the OTA updates automatically.
So here's the questions:
1. Have any of you flashed the yakju build on your phones KEEPING THE RADIO that is a part of that build? If so, what are your experiences with reception/data specifically on the Bell Network? Any difference that you've noticed?
2. Am I wrong in my thinking? If you did flash yakju, then the KL1 radio, will you definitely receive OTA updates automatically? As in no real user intervention other than clicking "update"?
I want to be sure before I do this, because I cannot find a complete image of the yakjuux build that includes everything including the bootloader in case something goes wrong/or doesn't update the way a true Google experience should.
Please let me now.
Thanks
I am running stock 4.0.2 with everything from the official image. No problem with signal. What is your worry?

Just want to make sure the radio from the official build works properly with Bell.
Don't really want to create a Frankenstein build so too speak by adding different radios

I changed mine to yakju shortly after I got the phone, about two weeks ago.
I haven't noticed any difference with the radio, good or bad. Still no issues with reception or anything dropping out.
Can't tell you about the OTA updates though, haven't received anything yet to go past 4.0.2. If/when I do, I'll update my reply to help everyone else out.

Thank you for your reply. Just to clarify, you are using the stock radio that came with yakju? I think its KK or something? Or did you change over to KL1?

bump. bump.
why are you so worried about receiving ota automatically? since you are on xda and know how to flash you will always have the latest build. Being in canada we usually are slow to get updates(Galaxy Nexus is still on 4.0.1 here) so whats the point in waiting for ota. if you are planning to flash an update now why not do it again when a new one comes out.
btw to answer your questions about the radio, the stock one,XXKK6, will work fine with bell although UGKL1 seems to work better for me on Fido. UGKL1 is probably the radio that your phone has now. it was on my stock fido GN.
I flashed the entire package, including the xxkk6 radio.. Works perfectly fine on Rogers, no comment for Bell but should be fine. Just try it, flash it back if you don't like it. Takes all of 2 minutes.
From what I understand (and I'm still new to this as well) you need to use the radio that comes with the official image otherwise you won't get OTA updates associated with that rom.
Newbie account so I can't post links yet but search "galaxy nexus upgrade to official roms yakju build" and its the leemn wordpress blog that says:
"After flashing to yakju build, you can still receive notification of the OTA updates.If you have flashed the radio, system, userdata and boot partitions, and you still have the stock recovery (or have flashed it) from the 4.0.2 image, you will be able to install the updates. However, if you flash a different radio, or different kernel , or a custom recovery, you will need to flash back the stock ones first before being able to install the update."
That's the whole thing.
When I was on the SGS, I tried a while slew of custom roms as well as the European beta builds.
I wasn't worried about doing that because there was always a way to go back to KG3, by spoofing the firmware to make KIES think it was on JL2. KIES would download KG3 officially back to the phone.
I always seemed to revert back to stock because none of the beta or custom roms seemed to work efficiently for me the way the stock one did.
I know, I'm strange.
So that experience brings me here. Without an official download of the yakjuux build available (bootloader image), there really is no going back if something just doesn't work as intended. (remember, we all use our phones differently).
That's why the fright. I just don't want to get to the point that this Canadian incarnation starts having an identity crisis.

Works great. No issues. I also wanted 100% stock and so far, i am very happy with it.

I'm not sure what the problem is. When you unlock your bootloader, you just do a nandroid backup, and it backups up your system, data, recovery and boot partitions. The radio is already available. So you can always go back to "stock" yakjuux in case yakju doesn't work (which it obviously does for Canadian users). I've even posted a nandroid backup of my yakjuux build before I flashed yakju. There is a thread in the general section. And to address your concern about "always reverting to stock", yakju IS the stock ROM, it is not a beta or a custom ROM.
The bootloader has nothing to do with yakju or yakjuux or whatever. It will not affect anything related to getting an OTA update or installing an OTA update. Keep your current bootloader if you are worried about not having a backup, and go ahead and flash all of the other images (after backing up your originals of course). That way, you can always return to your yakjuxx if you think there is a problem. Just because you didn't flash the bootloader that came with the latest yakju image does not at all mean you are not using yakju, and I would not call it a "frankenbuild" -- think of the bootloader as the BIOS in a computer. You computer is running Windows regardless if you are using an ASUS P5Q motherboard, or an ABIT IP5 motherboard -- both have different BIOS, but the OS is still Windows. Same with a GN -- you are running yakju regardless of whether you bootloader is 10, 14, 15, etc.
EDIT: To specifically address your question number 2 -- if you flash the system, data and boot images from yakju, you are running yakju, and you will receive the notification for an OTA update when it is available. However, you will not be able to have it install automatically if you don't have the radio image that came with the yakju build and a stock recovery (they are all the same). You can, however, flash those back as soon as you receive the OTA update notification and it will install automatically. Bootloader has no relevance whatsoever.
Great explanation. Thank you efrant. You've answered everything I've needed to know

Well finally took the plunge and went to yakju from yakjuux. Although my experience wasn't as seemless as everyone elses, so I thought I'd tell everyone just in case someone else runs in to the same problem.
For starters: I followed efrants excellent procedure from this exact post. However it also must be noted that I decided to use the 41F (4.0.1) firmware from Google's images instead of the 53F (4.0.2) image. I did this because I wanted to experience an update. lol
Now, at first I had to try several drivers in order for my Windows 7 laptop to even see the phone with the "fastboot devices" command. I finally found one that works. Coincidentally, one driver will work on one machine, but won't on the next, I have no idea why. After finally getting the right one, I proceeded:
I did all steps to the letter, but skipped steps 4,5 and 12, as the post says they were optional and I didn't really want to lose my bootloader and recovery in case I wanted to revert back to yakjuux.
After completing all steps but those, I did the final "fastboot reboot" and the phone restarted.
Here's where the ride began:
When it restarted, it seemed like everything was fine. It took a while to find Bell's settings, but it was ok. It then said an update to 4.0.2. was available.
Upon the reboot and install, the phone shut off, and rebooted twice, after the second time, I had an android on the ground with its chest open and a RED exclamationed triangle above it. My thoughts were "uh oh". I waited and waited, and nothing was happening. Pressing power and holding it down, wouldn't help.... After approx 5 mins I was about to do a battery pull, and it restarted itself, but remained on the 41F update.
Each restart would say it was upgrading, but never did.. always stayed on 41F.
So I went back and did everything in the procedure, not omitting anything this time (goodbye yakjuux bootloader!) and it went off without a hitch... This time my android figure was standing up, very much alive and getting a heart transplant.
So here I am.. Yakju configured and using the yakju KK6 radio. All seems well. Haven't decided if I'm going to put the KL1 radio on as yet, but thats for another day.
Thanks again efrant for all your help and patience with me.
@greeced Welcome to yakju. I doubt you will ever go back to yakjuux.

Well, I have been on yakju for a few days now and I can say no problems whatsoever.
At first I felt as if it was slightly Laggy, but that seemed to correct itself after a day or so. Not sure why, but the phone is just as quick as before now.
As for the radio, I wanted to stay completely stock, and that included the radio. So my phone is running the stock KK6 that came with the update, and I noticed my DBM levels are just as good as before if not better. So I don't feel the need to flash KL1.
Overall very happy that I'm now Pure Google.
One thing to note:
When I was on my SGS, I always factory reset after every flash, which always seemed to speed up the experience of the new ROM.
I think that should be the case for all firmware updates, including googles.
It's a painful process to redo everything, but well worth it in my opinion.
I mean think about it, installing a fresh copy of windows always performs better than doing an upgrade of windows, so that should be the same here.
We are dealing with computers after all.
At any rate. Just thought I'd update my experience in case anyone else who is on bell felt apprehensive like me.

I think the general consensus is that ICL53F is more laggy that ITL41F or ITL41D, so it is not a yakju vs yakjuux issue, it is a 4.0.1 vs 4.0.2 issue.

Radio performance varies with a huge number of factors. If you are happy with how one radio works, use it. If you want to see if another one is better, try it. If you don't like it, flash back. It takes all of 30 secs to flash a radio.

If you believe this, then I suggest that you do not flash older builds and OTA update to a newer ones. This process adds more files to your ROM, and is not as clean as flashing the latest build from Google's factory image site.
When the next version of Android is released, the full version will likely be available on Google's factory image site shortly before OTA's for yakju start rolling out.* If you don't mind redoing your settings, apps, etc., it is better (and faster) to flash the full build, instead of updating your current build.
*My assumption based on release dates for previous versions.
Question efrant.
I relocked my bootloader purposely.
If I wanted to test other radios does the bootloader need to be unlocked?
If it does, no big deal, I just won't do it

Hey guys, great forum! Grateful for all the support we have here. I have a question that I hop can be answered it has to do with updates for the GNex.
So basically, I bought the Nexus with Rogers in Canada and its a great device. I went to go and check the version and it was still on 4.0.1. I rooted it and then unrooted for personal reasons, the unroot brought me to 4.0.2 because thats the file that the unrooting program had, the phone is completely stock, bootloader locked.
After this, I heard about Yakju and Yakjuux and that Yakju gets updates from Google while Yakjuux gets them from Samsung. So I proceeded to check which one mine was, I used an app called GN Official Update and it told me I am Yakju.
So why am I not getting any updates past 4.0.2? Is it because the unroot process brought me to 4.0.2? Is it because those updates have been pulled for now? I dont think me being with rogers would have an effect but if it does please tell me!
If it helps: Baseband is I9250
Kernel is stock 3.0.0-gaaa2611
[email protected]#1 and the
build is ICL53F
Thanks for any help guys!
4.0.2 is the current official update out now.

You aren't receiving any more OTA updates because there haven't been any
Oh ok, so one more question, then how come when I was on 4.0.1 I never got an update? is that because when i rooted/unlocked bootloader and unrooted thus bringing me to 4.0.2 it somehow brought me to Jakju? I dont get it!
If you're relying on OTAs, 4.0.2 is the latest available.

How long did you have the phone before you rooted it to 4.0.2? Also, it's very possible when you flashed 4.0.2 you switched to yakju I believe. Either way, I wouldn't worry too much about it. Normally when there is a new OTA update, you can find it posted here before it rolls out to your phone.

Just to clear something up, I rooted while on 4.0.1. I unrooted and the file that was there for unrooting was 4.0.2 (wugfresh's tookit). So It WAS possible that when that file was flashed to go back to stock, It changed the updates from Yakjuux(Samsung) to Jakju(GOOGLE) ?

A few points:
1) No one knows for sure who updates any of the non-yakju builds, whether yakjuux, or whatever else. And if anyone (including that app you were referring to that you used, which is not "official" by the way) tells you otherwise they are just speculating. All we know is that OTA updates for ALL builds come from Google's servers.
2) Rooting has NO impact whatsoever on you receiving or not receiving the OTA update.
3) The reason you went from 4.0.1 to 4.0.2 is because you were running yakjuux 4.0.1 (which ONLY RECENTLY received the OTA update to 4.0.2, and not all yakjuux devices have been updated yet), and when you "unrooted", you didn't really "unroot" your yakjuux 4.0.1 build. That toolkit just flashed the yakju version of 4.0.2 over your yakjuux 4.0.1 build.
4) It is yakju, not jukju
5) This thread should have been posted in the Q&A subforum, not General.
6) The latest official build for yakju is ICL53F (4.0.2). 4.0.3 is available via AOSP.

Don't confuse OTA updates with AOSP support.
Hi guys,
I used the GNEX toolkit to unlock my bootloader and then flash to 4.0.2 yakju. I'm just wondering why I'm not getting an OTA for 4.0.4 or 4.0.3. I've tried clearing the data in GoogleFrameWorkServices. I've also flashed stock recovery.
Did I do something wrong, or is there actually no update?. P.S I'm in Australia.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Im in the same boat.
I have flashed the completely stock 4.0.4 ROM from Google Code. I have not received the IMM76I update yet.
I have cleared the framework cache too and still nothing.
I live in Melbourne (australia) and I am assuming that the update to yakju devices works on a country-by-country basis.
IF I don't receive it soon, I am just going to hope Google Code gets updated and I will just reflash a the newer version.
I do not want to root the phone or using work-around methods to install an update. I like having a completely stock phone with a locked bootloader.
(Marshallaw.. Why not just download the 4.0.4 update from Google Code and flash using Fastboot? Atleast that way, you know your on the latest Android version and have a better chance of receiving the IMM76I update, or if worst comes to worst, just wait until Google Code is updated to the latest version and flash that?)
The way Google updates their devices is pretty pathetic. You would think they would push the update to every stock YAKJU device everywhere and not be so selective. My old Nexus S received 4.0.4 update and my stock Galaxy Nexus never received it, so I had to manually flash. Very stupid.

I think you are confusing a few things:
1) What is posted on Google Code (as you put it), are NOT updates -- they are complete, full ROMs.
2) What is posted here are incremental update that UPDATE your existing ROM.
There is a difference between the two, despite the end result being the same.
3) Having an unlocked bootloader or a locked bootloader does not mean you are stock or are not stock -- it has nothing to do with it at all. You are not adding or taking away anything from the firmware on the device...
4) You say you do not want to use a work around to flash the update, but you are using a work around to flash a full ROM? Something there doesn't compute for me.
5) Flashing a stock update file does not make you any less/more stock than flashing a full ROM.
I don't think you understand what I meant.. Im hoping Google updated their full ROM with the IMM76I kernel and bug fixes...
hence, I am waiting for an updated full ROM that 'includes' the latest kernel update.
e.g. Google Code features :
4.0.1 (ITL41D) and 4.0.1 (ITL41F). I am waiting for
4.0.4 (IMM76D) and 4.0.4 (IMM76I) to be posted on their site.
I also know that having a locked bootloader does not make it stock, but my point was I am on stock 4.0.4 with a locked bootloader, so I am waiting for an OTA so I don't need to re-install all my files/apps.
But if I don't receive the OTA update, I will be reflashing the entire ROM once its available on Google Code.

Well, I'm not sure if this is it but here's the OTA package for IMM76I from IMM76D. It might just be a test build which was only pushed to small portion of users to test it which would explain not everyone getting it.
And Marshalllaw, you've already begun to flash things and mess around, why not just flash the stock build of 4.0.4 straight away rather than relying on an OTA?

Ok, but you do realize that manually installing the IMM76I update (which you can do right now, although requires an unlocked bootloader) ends you up at the exact same place the flashing the IMM76I image when it comes out (and it will still require an unlocked bootloader). So whether you install the update, or what for the full image, you will still wipe, and you will end up at the same place -- you will just get there sooner with the update.
OK but how do you flash this with fastboot once I unlock my boot loader. I need to boot with CWM don't I?

Correct, you do. But booting CWM is different from flashing CWM. When you boot it, you are not "writing" anything to your device - you are only loading the kernel and ramdisk into your device's RAM. It only boots CWM one time - as soon as you reboot, it is no longer there, as it was never flashed - it just existed in RAM.
Additionally, even if you did flash it, it still wouldn't be there when you rebooted, because EVERY OTA update adds two files to your device that automatically re-flash the stock recovery on EVERY boot of your device.

Hi Unlawful. Yeah I can always flash it directly to 4.0.4, its more that this is my first Android phone / first experience messing with bootloaders and roms. I was more so just wondering if the lack of OTA update to either 4.0.3 or 4.0.4 was that i've screwed something up or that the update has not been pushed to all devices.
My device info is: 19250XXKK6, ICL35F. Its basically the same as when I first bought it but not Yakjuwx. I more or less flashed to Yakju because people were saying that you could get OTA updates faster or something.
Thanks for the help, sorry if this is a noob question.
I wouldn't be too sure though I would really doubt it's something that you did. Have you pressed 'Check Now' somewhere in settings to check whether there's an update?

Yeah I hit check now and it always says I'm the most up to date. I tried clearing data in google services framework and then hitting check now. Nothing changed.
I just find it odd that I wouldn't get an OTA for 4.0.3.
I used the GNEX toolkit to flash the stock rom which I got from developers.google.com/android/nexus/images. I read online that someone thought that 4.0.4 was pulled from OTA, but I would have thought I would get 4.0.3. I'm nervous that I've messed something up lol

4.0.3 was never released in OTA form.

I wouldn't be too sure though I would really doubt it's something that you did. Have you pressed 'Check Now' somewhere in settings to check whether there's an update?

That does not work. You will have to wait until Google decides it's time for your IMEI to receive it...

Yeah I hit check now and it always says I'm the most up to date. I tried clearing data in google services framework and then hitting check now. Nothing changed.

You did not mess anything up. As martonikaj said, there was never any 4.0.3 update.
Updates are not rolled out to everyone all at once. It could take seconds or MONTHS before you get the OTA, after the first person gets it.
Awesome . Thanks for the help guys.
Having an Android is great for all the exploring you can do, finding out how it works though can be a bit daunting.
Sorry for the noob question!.
I recently got my galaxy nexus and it came with 4.1.1 installed and when I go to check for updates it says that I'm running the latest version. Help? Is there any way to push the update? I don't want to flash a custom ROM yet.
Depends on you're carrier. Nothing you can really do. Could be next week, could be next year (Verizon). I know you don't want to root but by the time you're carrier pushes any form of 4.2 we will all be on whatever is next and new anyways.

It depends upon your carrier..Your carrier(Sprint,Verizon,Samsung) decides when to push the ota.For ex-Takju gets the latest update first and then to yakju..
To get 4.2.1(currently latest) you should unlock bootloader in order to flash custom roms and enjoy 4.2.1:good:
That's the thing I have the yakju and my brother has the takju, they are both factory unlocked and they are both not getting the update. I had another galaxy nexus about a month ago and it got the update immediately, someone let me know if you're not getting the update either.
clear the google services framework and then check for the update.
Thanks, I've already tried that but no luck. Any more tips like that? The only thing that I can think of is that Google took off there factory image for download...?
try what i said before, but on wifi. just to be sure... unless you were already on wifi.
the next thing you could do is just flash the factory images without flashing userdata.. that should work without any problems.
Still no luck, could it be that my CID is on fido even though it's a factory unlocked unit? Is there any way to remove or get around CID limitations.
be sure that your Nexus I9250 is not rooted and have stock recovery and the bootloader is locked (not necessary but in case...) in order to receive update. if so, go to app. clear data and force stop "google service framework" then go to setting---->about phone and click on update. repeat these steps many time until you receive the ota update
Unfortunately I've already tried that too and still no luck .
