Hey as far as I am aware you just have to wait dude. Google don't roll the updates out all at once.

By the way I'm a user from Malaysia..

I take no credit for this but what I did was manually update it using a how to on the GNex Toolkit FAQ page. Just make sure to back up your stuff first, so you don't lose anything.

I'm also stuck on 4.0.1 and the phone says there are no updates for me yet.
From what i hear 4.0.3 is behind the corner already?

4.0.3 is on halt at the moment.
4.0.2 is latest GN OTA
use a custom ROM (such as AOKP) to get 4.0.3 now

Interesting why i don't get the 4.0.2 then, anyway what are the changes in this one?

Are you on a yakju build? https://market.android.com/details?...SwxLDEsImRlLmNicnVlZ2cub2ZmaWNpYWx1cGRhdGUiXQ.. use that to check.
If you're not on a 'yakju' build, this may explain why you haven't received the OTA yet.
You can take things into your own hands,
1) Convert your non-yakju device to yakju by fastbooting stock Google images (you can do it to 4.0.2 as well).
Link: http://code.google.com/android/nexus/images.html
2) Flash a custom ROM on 4.0.3 base such as AOKP.
Changes are..... go google it.

thank you

My GNex is a yakjuxw. What do i do? Does fastbooting require root? Will it erase my datas (contacts, apps etc.)?

Fastboot doesn't but unlocking Fastboot does erase everything so be sure to make a proper backup before doing that.... Or you just wait until Samsung releases the 4.0.2 OTA...
Edit: Oh..., unlocking Fastboot is nescessary for rooting the phone, and that is needed for flashing Yakju in stead of Yakjuxw... There are multiple threads around this forum on how to do that...

It's basically no problem if you ar eon Yakjuxw. It just means that your updates will come from Samsung. Fastboot is just the standard bootloader and gives you some boot options. It is standard accessible through the phone, booting by pressing Volume Up+Volume Down+ Power all at the same time. In order to flash a different ROM (for instance Yakju build) you will have to unlock fastboot (yes that will erase everything).

If you mean turning your Yakjuxw phone in a Yakju phone then that is pretty good described in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1464881

You do NOT need to be rooted to flash a system image. You only need to unlock the bootloader

I want the 4.0.2 update. Thats the reason for this post. Waiting for samsung to provide the update might take some time. Or is the update not worth all the hassle to fastboot my GNex? Plus, my GNex would not connect to my windows PC through USB. I thought the update would help.

Ok... If your GNex won't connect to your PC through USB you might have a different problem. In order to flash Yakju or any other rom you need to be able to connect to PC first in order to unlock the bootloader. To my knowledge there is no way doing that directly from your phone.
To connect your Gnex to your PC you will need the ADB/Fastboot drivers. I myself used the MSKIP tool that you can find here: Mskip Tool You can install the drivers for an USB connection from the tool and it is explained there how you can see if the phone is recognised and connected. From there on it is pretty much self explaining with the tool. I think you might even turn your phone into a Yakju build by using the menu option "Extract and Flash Google Factory Stock Rom". Off course you'll have to unlock the Fastboot bootloader first.
The post rom MSKIP is pretty clear so it might give you all the info you need from here....
Good luck

Try go to settings, storage, then click ... on the bottom right corner, click usb computer connection. See whether MTP box is checked or not.

For root and flash custom recovery on my galaxy nexus for the first time I used the toolkit and I found it very easy and convenient, because you only need to be connected via adb and the program does the rest.. However, I think I have overestimated his knowledge of Android, sorry

I think what Mach3.2 was trying to say is that if you use a toolkit:
1) you don't learn anything;
2) if something doesn't work, it is very difficult to figure out what, as the toolkit hides everything from you;
3) if you follow a step-by-step, you see EXACTLY what goes wrong where.

Did all the images flash successfully?
If so, try re-flashing the system, boot and userdata images, and re-erase the cache.

But, but... that's why there are toolkits and ROM Manager, right?

I don't even have Rom manager on my phone anymore, to me it's kinda useless, I've never tried flashing anything from it for this reason, you can't tell what phone it's for, I always hear more stories of it messing things up versus doing what you wanted. Just do it the safe way by downloading the right rom for your phone to your computer and transfer it over to your sd card and flash from recovery, and always have a backup ready for times you mess up.

Am I doing it right , or right?!?

Hey I recently got a glxy nexus, have some questions about rooting and flashing and some problems,
1.the first thing I don't understand is why my phone doesn't update to latest android? Still on 4.2.1, its a nexus ,so I think it should get update since first boot, anybody else have this problem?
2.so the device is not updating, I plan to root and flash it, so I'm doing this, 1. Unlock bootloader via fastboot ,,2. Flash twrp via fastboot , and start flashing roms! (These steps are my mind generated) so tell me , did I miss anything? Do I need to do something else, ? Really appreciate your answers,

1- it will not update (or take a lot longer to) unless you're running yakju/takju.
2- perfect, you did your homework.

hey just curious , is flashing a kernel the same way as rom? i mean do we have to flash boot.img via fastboot? and what is download mode? i heard it is used to flash stock roms on samsung devices , does it do the same on a galaxy nexus ?

kernels are normally packaged into recovery flashable zips. some include all they need inside a boot.img, some don't. if all they need is boot.img, then yes, 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' would be the correct command.
download mode is indeed the interface by which normally Samsung devices interact with a computer. It's far more easier to get an updated factory image in "fastboot format" than in Odin package files, in part because, if you're running yakju or takju, Google takes care of the software, and that's why fastboot should always have higher priority than Odin.
But yes, download mode is one more option.

don't operate the device while on low battery, put it to charge, don't let it shutdown by itself;
flash stuff for your own variant (variants: maguro, toro, toroplus) i.e. try to stick with your own variant's dev subforum, although kernels should be compatible across all variants;
give priority to fastboot, it seems you're no stranger to the tool, you have way more "freedom" with the Nexus's fastboot than with HTC's (which also uses it, I believe?);
keep platform-tools (bundled with android-sdk or in a separate package) up-to-date; current version is R17
