Wondering if there are any differences in the build/modem the gnex sold here has vs the european gsm one? anybody who has flashed care to chime in, tempted to flash the generic.
i'd like to hear about this as well, i'm still stuck on 4.0.1 while the yakju folks are enjoying 4.0.3
btw have u received any upgrades beyond 4.0.1 ?

I flashed yakju build ITL41D, however have not been asked to update yet and I keep checking. I haven't noticed any differences yet.
I just flashed the yakju build (i.e., the ICL53F system and userdata partitions from here, but kept the bootloader that came with my device (bought from Virgin Mobile), and updated radio that came with the ITL41F OTA update. No issues.

So I purchased a GSM Galaxy Nexus from Negri Electronics on December 15th. My GNex came with build yakjuzs, which is a china build. This struck me as odd since Negri told me that they import from UK. I'm guessing they were desperately trying to fill orders and thus imported from China.
Wanting the official yakju Google build, I flashed it to my GNex (using 'fastboot -w update image-yakju-itl41f.zip'). I flashed the 4.0.1 (ITL41F) from Google's GNex factory image page.
I noticed that on the factory image page, Google also has 4.0.2 (ICL53F). So my question is, now that I'm on yakju build (specifically ITL41F), should I be getting OTA update to 4.0.2 (ICL53F)??
From monitoring the 20 or so why am I not getting the update threads. I think it's safe to say that google has stopped pushing out 4.0.2 updates. No one has reported getting an update in quite a few days now. Now if it's temporary or permanent no one knows.
Maybe they are just getting 4.0.3 read to go instead. 4.0.2 has lag issues. I have a love hate relationship with it. Battery life has improved but the lag is annoying the crap out of me.

Eventually, yes. However, you could always flash the ICL53F build from the factory image page if you want it sooner...
Hello, can you please post factory image, or nandroid backup of yakjuux variant? This is the one that is used for Bell Mobility Gnexus , or Virgin Mobile Galaxy Nexus.
Many thanks!
I would like this as well....
I would rather the image from Samsung/Google than a nandroid backup, just as a safety backup.
Anyway, if anyone has the YAKJUUX image or knows where to find it, please let us know.
Thanks
I had posted it in this thread, but the server is down. I'm willing to upload it again, if someone lets me know of a good free upload service.

Anyone have a copy of ITL41D? Or a stock ICL53F yakjuux build? I'm on Virgin and my phone came with ITL41D and I'd ideally like to return to that since I need to swap my phone on a warranty claim. Also does anyone know which radio and which bootloader came with the ICL53F update from Bell/Virgin? I was still stuck on 4.0.1 (seems like everyone but me got the update) before I flashed to yakju. I flashed UGLA4 and the primekk15 boatloader. So if I found a ICL53F build I could claim I got it OTA if I had the matching radio and bootloader...

If you bought it from Virgin (as did I), it came with ITL41D (which is 4.0.1), but was shortly afterwards updated to ITL41F (which is also 4.0.1). So use the file I posted above.
Here is the list of the radios and bootloaders that came with the various yakjuux builds/OTA updates:
ITL41D: PRIMEKK14 and UGKK7
ITL41F: PRIMEKK14 and UGKL1
ICL53F: PRIMEKK15 and UGLA4

You probably want to edit the subject so it says Virgin not Verizon!

Awesome, thanks. Mine came with ITL41D but I did not get any update. I only had it for two days before going to Yakju, but no updates (this was just last week). I tested out the UTL41F image and it worked great, so I guess I will flash that and the UGKK7 radio and hope for the best that they don't notice the PRIMEKK15 bootloader. I doubt they will, as the Virgin people told me that The Source (Radio Shack Canada, kinda) will just swap out my phone on the spot. I'm having weird signal problems. I think the radio is turning on and off by itself. I get no signal about 30-40% of the time, and I'm getting incredibly awesome battery life leading me to believe the radio's actually off when it's getting no signal. Anyways, thanks again!

You likely don't even need to go back to yakjuux, but if you really want to, your backup, the radio, and the bootloader (grab one of the yakjuux bootloaders in the bootloader thread) is all you need.

Ok perfect, thanks for the help! Yeah I probably don't need to but I've just had a couple of friends who say Bell has tried to get out of the warranty replacement by coming up with excuses so i just don't want them to have any reason not to do it. Better safe than sorry right?
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) ?

To my knowledge, yes that's right. Someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong though.

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.

Taken straight from Google's website "
Galaxy Nexus is supported only in GSM/HSPA+ configuration "maguro" and only if it was originally sold with a "yakju" operating system."

Don't confuse OTA updates with AOSP support.
I just purchased an unlocked Galaxy Nexus from new egg.com. The phone is from Japan and is branded with a NTT-Docomo logo and is only running ICS 4.0.1. I tried checking for an ota update and nothing happens when I clicj in system update.
How can I update the phone to the latest version of ICS?
The product name of the device is "yakjuxe". Thanks in advance.

Should work. Worked for me.
You may not want to flash to the new radio though. Apparently the Docomo uses their own radios. The google radio will work, but some say the Docomo radio is actually better.

Great! This worked. Phone is now running 4.0.4.
Got all of my apps back and ready to go. I have noticed some minor differences from the previous build, but nothing significant.
Will I now be able to receive OTA updates directly from Google?
Thanks!
Simply put id like to know if anyone in the UAE has gotten JB for their Galaxy Nexus. I woke up today with an update alert, and after applying it, it turned out to be 4.0.4 and not JB. Any hints on how to get it sooner?
If you're takju or yakju you should have it by now.
The reason why you don't have it doesn't necessarily depend on your location, it depends on what version of the firmware your phone has. I'm assuming if you bought that locally it's a non-yakju/takju variant. If you don't mind wiping your phone once to switch over, you can go to takju and receive OTAs quickly directly from Google from here on out. You'll remain "stock", you'll just be switching from one firmware version to the other.
Follow this guide to do so if you're interested: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895
Thnx a lot
I'm also based here in Dubai and I bought my Galaxy Nexus from souq.com. It came with ICS 4.0.2 yakjujp (middle east) firmware variant so I manually flashed it with the ICS 4.0.4 "yakju" firmware to get updates directly from Google. I got the JB notification last week and upgraded over WIFI without problems. Here's the link to the guide in case you're interested -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895
