[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...

[Q] Updates on the GNex

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.

[Q] 4.0.4 questions

I just bought the phone yesterday from Verizon. It's all stock. I'm running 4.0.2, but I was wondering if 4.0.4 is out for everyone? I haven't received any update about it on the phone. Checking for updates just says I'm up to date. Do I need to manually update it, or just wait for it to hit me? How long should I wait?
If I decide not to wait, I have to unlock and root my phone, correct? And then download and install 4.0.4 (IMM76I) "yakju" from Goggle's Nexus factory images page? or do I need "mysid IMM76K from ICL53F" for toro from the "Official Google OTA Update URLs" thread on these forums?
I'm just concerned because I ran into some battery issues already (phone was completely dead when I woke up this morning. was at 90% when I went to bed. About 7 or 8 hours) and I read 4.0.4 fixes some of the battery issues. I've also changed some settings to limit battery draining. I believe it's working.

Root and Unlock using GNex TOOLKIT V6.1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392310
then install a custom rom should also fix your battery issue

4.0.2 its really buggy.. If you are rooted and unlocked try some custom rom?
Stock 4.0.4 has loads of improvement, great battery, great performance, camera quality fix, etc..
If you want stock image, download from Google official site and flash it via fastboot, and then reroot

No, I'm not rooted or anything at all. I planned to root later when I got use the phone. I'm pretty new to this root stuff, but want to explore it. I've already been doing lots of research.
But it seems the vote is to go ahead and unlock, root, get 4.0.4 and get a custom rom/kernel. lol Instead of waiting to get the 4.0.4 through Verizon, I should get it myself manually. I was wondering if I should just wait or not.
Is yakju the version I want or toro?

Thank you! I just have another question before I decide to flash 4.0.4 to my device.
4.0.4 was pulled from google servers, but is available at Random Phantasmagoria. Though, RP says it's not recommended to flash the 4.0.4 IMM76K update. Would you agree? I haven't seen anyone say that version has given problems with all the reading I've done, so I imagine it's fine. Just double checking. I think most people have to be on 4.0.3 or 4.0.4 to get certain kernels and such to work.

Well I was using the IMM76K version til yesterday with CM9 and it was fine, its been upgraded to IMM76I in the latest nightly.
All kernels work with 4.0.3/4.0.4
I don't think you'll have any problems as long as you download the right firmware for your model. Don't flash the GSM firmware on a cdma phone.

JB 4.1 to yakjuxw

I agree with what Azlan96 posted. I received the 4.0.4 update last week and to add insult to injury, when you look at the Kernal Version in the Settings/About phone screen, it shows that the kernel was available in MARCH! Why did it take so long for Samsung to get it to us?!
I like others purchased this phone off of a dailysteals sale earlier in the year and also have a yakjuxw device. I couldn't stomach the fact that we have Google's flagship phone, but are kept under hostage by Samsung. Yesterday I unlocked the bootloader using the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit by following the steps in this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392310) and flashed the stock yakju image.
I'm a n00b at this stuff but Mark Skippen did an excellent job creating that toolkit and making it easy for anyone to do it. I had the bootloader unlocked in 20 minutes (the majority of the time is downloading the image files) and received the 4.1.1 OTA once I logged back into my google account.
My device is now converted to the google yakju version and on jelly bean. I also have the peace of mind that future updates will be coming from google, and not Samsung.

I also converted to yakju from yakjuxw here on my australian galaxy nexus ,best decision I ever made an now i'm on official 4.1.1 jellybean an will always get updates as soon as google releases them, its as easy as unlocking boot loader an flashing stock yakju.Don't listen to stupid carriers like vodafone telling you bs excuses as to why you have to wait for updates because they don't have a clue, their customer support don't know the first thing about android an how it works.

Not sure if trolling...or serious .
And back on-topic, you probably won't get JB for a while (I mean how long did it take for your guys to receive 4.0.4...).

First thing I did when I got my nexus was getting rid of yakjuxw. Second boot actually

Like others said, you can convert from yakjuux to yakju or takju to get the latest update from google. I have 2 Gnex and both was on yakjuux, and made the switch. For the first time in my life i flashed my phones, and it really wasn't hard at all. Trust me it is WORTH the effort!

I had horrible battery draining on Yakju 4.0.4!
My Nexus had originally "Yakjuxw" 4.0.1 - 4.0.2 and I didn't want to use anymore the 4.0.2 so I flashed other bootloader + radio baseband and then Jelly Bean 4.1 "takju" which updated to 4.1.1 and I'm happy with it.. (then yakjuxw got the 4.0.4 update)
Takju is much better than yakju and yakjuxw builds.. :d

It isn't. As far as I know, it's the exact same, but with the addition of Google Wallet.

My device came with yakjuxw, and I pretty much flashed the yakju image a few hours after unboxing it. As for when the update comes, noone really knows.

If you flashed yakju, just flash the OTA image over it for 4.1.1

Converting your phone will certainly wipe ALL your device (including internal memory), so make a backup. You only need how to enter fastboot mode (turn it on while pressing Vol up + Vol Down). Follow these steps:
1. Dowload the toolkit that's in sticky in the Android Dev section. Install the drivers there (option 1).
2. Unlock the bootloader. (option 3 I believe).
3. Enter the section to download factory google images. Download YAKJU or TAKJU 4.0.4 (the latter if you want google wallet).
4. Flash that image you downloaded.
5. Reboot and wait for OTA.
If you don't want to wait, you can download the OTA zip file, place it in the internal memory and use the toolkit to boot in CWM and flash it from there.
Cheers!

Please HELP ME
Hi,
My buildinfos reports that my phone is yakjuxw / maguro: 4.0.4 / IMM76K.
According to the options available in the GN toolkit, my phone's build (IMM76K) is in the section CDMA / LTE (MYSID / TORO). How is this possible, my buildinfos reports that the hardware is a maguro, but my phone build's is in the "mysid section" (GN toolkit)?
I do not know what to do. I want to upgrade my phone to YAKJU, but YAKJU is in "section GSM (maguro)" and my phone's build is CDMA / LTE (mysid).
Can anyone help me?

[Q] I have my phoen flashed to YAKJU, why am I not getting update?

I flashed my phone to YAKJU for the sole purpose of getting faster updates (directly from google), but I didnt get them. does that mean I not have to manually flash every update?

What version number are you running then?

No never. Not for you at least. Google has a whiner blacklist and you are on it.
Seriously, there is no OTA out yet for ANY Galaxy Nexus variant. The only 4.1.2 ROM out yet is the factory image for "takju". Flash it if you can't wait or be patient for a few days.

You should always know what files you're flashing to your phone. So you don't break your phone

Flashed to Yakju, but unable to update to android 4.1
My device is a Samsung Galaxy Nexus i9250 and I was on 4.0.4. I flashed to yakju (had the samsung variant for Middle East earlier) based on the instructions in androidforums (instructions here were difficult for me to follow), so that I'd get updates directly from google. Can't provide the androidforums link since I am a new member (WTF is that, really??).
As directed in the link, I downloaded samsung drivers and firmware, installed the drivers and then used the firmware to flash 4.0.1. The method did not root my device (double-checked that using the root checker app).
It updated to 4.0.2 through wi-fi. After that, it was not updating to 4.0.4 through wi-fi, but updated instantly as soon as I switched to my mobile network, and I have no idea why that happened. I am in UAE, and my carrier is Etisalat, FWIW.
Anyhow, now I'm not getting the 4.1 update either through wi-fi or mobile. When I click on system update, it shows that the update is downloading, and nothing downloads eventually and I get a message intimating me that the download has failed and that I can retry the download.
I have tried the usual trick: clearing google services framework cache and then restarting the phone,hasn't worked.
Can someone help please? I'm closer to a noob than a geek, as you would've figured out by now. So do bear in mind that I need detailed instructions.. :laugh:
Thanks in advance.
