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...

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.
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...
how can i return to yakjuxw if i flash yakju using odin!
i thought i wil get an ota for 4.0.2 but nothing so i want to return to yakjuxw the same way i did for the yakju! where can i find an odin firmware yakjuxw?
I am afraid you can't. For now. There is no yakjuxw image on Google that I know of. Even the 4.0.2 was pulled from the binaries of the "Nexus Phones and Flagship Devices" page. I can not put links yet, because I am new on XDA.
I have the yakjuxw and got the volume fix today, so I am on the path! I won't flash the yakju yet, because no one that I know of got the 4.0.2 after flashing yakju 4.0.1, and because no one knows for sure the future side effects of this action, even the google engineer Jean-Baptiste Queru do not know much yet.
Do not worry, I think you won't have any problems. Fortunately, Galaxy Nexus is a dev phone!
obs. English is not my native language.
You would need to find someone using yakjuxw to perform a system dump of that ROM so you can flash it. In my opinion you are better off sticking with yakju. Google has pulled 4.0.2 from their servers and no one is receiving that update now. Google will most likely just release 4.0.3 soon for everyone instead. If you really want 4.0.2, you can download it from google code and flash it with fast boot. Like I said, your better off sticking with yakju since it will be updated first and moving back to yakjuxw won't get you 4.0.2 so there will be no point.

+1 on this one.
Here is a link for the Google Nexus Images though if you decide to manually update to 4.0.2:

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.
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
