Develop Bugs

2.2 came to wifes phone thia morning but not mine

The long awaited froyo update came to my wifes stock phone this morning but mine not yet. i installed the earlie release and then used odin to flash back to the stock 2.1 but I didnt get the update, is it being staggered released? or is it because i efed with my phone. can someone link me to where i can download it and not wait for sprint if thats the problem. I cant wait to see if the bugs were really worked out on my wifes phone but that is hours. away. I hope i am the first to post this news

I recived the ota by doing a hard reset. If you don't want to do that then samsung actually posted the download on their page.

Do you mean the update that is from sept 16? WTF? I am only 2 weeks behind on readin in the forums so is this new or old news. Is this the earlie release that crashed my gps and had bug city or is it stable? Well I hope its new and the devs can make a real rom flashable from clockwork pre rooted . How did you do a hard reset?

This is a new update. Not one from September. And the initial roll-out started last night and goes through Thursday. You may have not gotten it because you are later on the list than your wife. Or it may be because you effed with your phone. You need to be on di18 to get the update.

well than i have 3 choices, do the samsung method, wait, or try the doexed through clockwork. can anyone tell me of all three which one is best? i am on DI 18 by the way.

The updates ROLL out to random phones... No one knows the pattern. You could get it later today; or be the last one to get it.

I used the Samsung method following these instructions and had NO issues at all. I didn't care whether I had to reinstall my apps from the market, it was quick and painless. Phone seems to work great! GPS locked almost instantly, Flash already installed with the update.
If you use this method make sure you remove the battery TWICE, per the instructions.

[Q] Went from Yakjuxw to Yakju.. What now?

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...

OTA update 08/15/12?

I got my SG3 like two weeks ago, I rooted it, and today I get an OTA update being pushed.
Is this Jellybean or some other type of update?
my current android version is: 4.0.4
Baseband version; L710VPLG2
Anybody else getting this OTA?
It just happened today.

Now just a ics update most every one has. It's LG8 now instead of LG2.
Sent from Pluto.

If you're still running stock ROM it's likely LG8. Jellybean still hasn't been officially announced for our device yet.

Shiza! Got me excited for nothing...:cyclops:

Question: I am rooted and have CWM recovery. If I were to install this OTA what would happen? Lose root? Loose custom recovery?

how do I deal with the OTA
I am new this. Been rooted for a couple of months. Update popped up just like the other user. I know I cannot install with CWM and I am not currently interested with any roms, waiting for jelly bean. I have the same model and set up he does. I guess I need the L8.
Can i remove the pop up and just wait for a few more months?
Could that create performance issues?
I don't feel like updating and reinstalling everything if I don't have to. Thanks in advance.

OTA offered
My wife just got this update notification. No idea what version it is, but curious if it will break root. If so, anyone know if this version is also rootable?

Android 4.0.4 update for second time?

Hi,
i bought a Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 about two months ago, i'm from Spain so i'm not sure it is a T-Mobile device. I think the device came with 4.0.1 update of ICS and some weeks agot the device i got 4.0.4 update and then using CF-Root 6.4 and Odin 1.85 managed to get root access so i was able to install busybox and UMS application from xda forums. So everything was working fine. About 3 days ago i got an update notification which showed me a message which said "Updates will be provided in the request order preference" or something like this, i repeated the operation some times in order to gt the update but had no luck so i thought i had to wait for 4.1 update to get published.
The curious thing is today, when i woke up i noticed a firmware update was ready to be installed so went through it but the strange thing was when i went to settings to check the version and i saw it was still/again 4.0.4 version of ICS. Also noticed Google Play Books and Google Play Movies got installed so on one hand it seemed everything went fine cause new apps were there but on the other hand 4.0.4 versions was still there. After that, i went to check if i still had root access but i hadn't. Then tried to grant root access again using CF-Root and Odin 1.85 but had no luck, so now it's not possible for me get root access again and i'm also still wondering how is it possible that today's update left the phone with the same Android version as before the update. Does any one has a clue about it all? The only explanation i can find is the phoen came with 4.0 version, first update got me to 4.0.1 and today's update guided me to the 4.0.4 but i'm still wondering why root access is not working as it should.
Hope someone can help. Thanks in advanced!

[Q] 4.1.2 JZO54K Won't OTA to 4.2 But Another GN Will?

So I have a small question...
I have a Galaxy Nexus, had it since day 30 or so. Updated OTA many times and rooted every time, using the stock ROM so everything is perhaps more simple.
The lady friend has also got a GN. Her phone downloaded the OTA update and is now bugging her to install. She purchased her phone only a couple of months ago. We're on the same build number but my GN won't see the update to 4.2.
Is there a reason for this? Did Google pull the update once they have figured out the December bug and haven't yet fixed it?
I am a little worried as I used the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit to root my 4.1.2 phone but as the toolkit wasn't updated, I used the settings for 4.1.1. I am certain I did this to my partners phone too, but that is the only thing I can think of as to why I haven't got the update.
I'm not totally desperate for it, but just wondering why.
Thanks

Nobody really knows (afaik) how Google decides which Nexus devices get OTA updates first. I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with how 'old' your device is though. And having root won't affect the OTA update, don't worry. You do need stock recovery though.

Stock recovery?
I don't have anything like CWM installed. My phone is completely stock apart from rooted
Might try re-rooting using the Toolkit as my phone version (just in case) and then just wait I guess. Just a shame it won't see the update as I would have thought once they set the server to show there is a new version, all devices would see it... just like Windows Update for instance.

Man up and do it the right way..
