HI guys I am about to get this phone and I have some questions to ask:
1) Does anyone here who got their Galaxy Nexus from ThreeUK know whether they sell yakju or other software models?
2) If I dont have yakju can I get yakju by flashing a file, and where do I find the file?
3) If I flash yakju do i then get future updates from google?
4) Do I have a chance of losing yakju through updating?
5) How do I flash yakju?
6) Do I need to have root access or recovery to flash yakju?
Please answer all my questions. Thanks
Hmm, like 7 of your questions can be answered by reading the stickies in development.
good day.

1 ) yes three uk is Yakju build

3) yes as it's a google build
4) no unless google changes he name
5) no just unlock the bootloader ( erases everything ) but you won't have too
Hope this was more helpful

Hello,
Ive got 2 Galaxy nexus one bought from US store and one from a UK store, both are not the LTE versions.
i got OTA update from 4.0.1 to 4.0.2 OTA on the UK one but not yet for the US.
I dont want to brick the phone so Id like some help please, ive never used nexus phones before so i apologize for all the questions.
is it possible to flash it to the US one? and if i do will i still get OTA updates when they roll out or would i have to always do it manually?
the US one is 4.0.1 baseband: XXKK1 Kernel: ga052f63 Build: ITL41F
and i the UK one is 4.0.2 baseband: KK6 kernel: gaaa2611 Build: ICL53F after OTA update.
Do use Gnex Toolkit v4.1 ? and without rooting?
Thanks guys

Sorry about Bumping,,,,,,,still awaiting reply please
you won't brick.
there is no U.S. firmware for the Galaxy Nexus.
there are only three types of OTAs:
yakju: Google supported (GSM)
mysid: Google supported (LTE)
variants of yakju (yakjuxw,yakjuux,etc): GSM
flash it.

Thanks Zephik, the app helped me alot
The product name is yakjuxw and it says its NOT updated by Google.
does this mean they wont ever update? or just currently its not yet pushed through?

it still receives updates but it comes from Samsung. still a stock experience, just comes with extra languages and things like that.
you can convert it to a yakju (search it).
updates often come out for yakju more frequently than the variations of yakju
If I convert it to a yakju, will this affect my warranty? If yes, can I convert it back to my current one?

Based on my modest knowledge, if the nexus doesn't have a flash counter and u flash back to yakuxw u shouldnt lose warranted. Better ask the professionals here in xda though.

You won't lose your warranty if you flash a official firmware, I did that when I changed to yakju.

Hello everyone
I just bought a Galaxy Nexus from someone. I was told that the device is factory unlocked. I looked into the settings and in the build number it shows ITL41F.i9250UGKL1. My question is that, what kind of Gnex is this? Is it bought straight from Google, or from some carrier? Also, in Android version it shows 4.0.1. Now I am aware that there is 4.0.4 out but how come in system update it says I am up-to-date?
I am fairly new to Galaxy Nexus, but I have owned a Galaxy S previously. Please help me out.
Thanks.
Does it has a sim slot?

Nevermind, its a yakjuux. SOB...I won't get updates directly from Google. BUMMER.

You can flash yaku (or takju) & get the updates.

i tried. and failed. couldnt get the cmd prompt to recognize fastboot.
OK.
Is it rooted?
Does it have any missing apps?
What ROM are you running?
The more details the better. If you are missing apps well that is your problem. Flash a stock ROM and boom. Then update.

Can you tell me another thing Is it safe to flash TAKJU 4.2.1 over YAKJU 4.2.1??
Read all efrant's directions thoroughly first, perhaps several times to be sure you understand the process. Without CWM, i believe your most important step would be "fastboot erase cache". If you have CWM, there's no harm in wiping cache and dalvik. I would even do a factory reset first to be safe. Yes, there are ways to preserve your data, if you already have any, but reading for comprehension is key.
I'm trying to update my phone to 4.3. I read the other threads, but it's not working! I tried the force update over 20 times, it's just not working.

The updates for that device are unfortunately controlled by Samsung, not Google. So your best bet is to flash to either takju/yakju, which can be accomplished via the guide mrgnex linked.

Then don't. It isn't mandatory. I assume eventually Samsung will get around to pushing the update out to you.

Yes. Basically:
1. Unlock bootloader if it isn't already. Note that this completely wipes your device, so backup pictures or whatever you don't want to lose in this process.
2. Flash factory image for takju or yakju your choice.

@Phone_Logic I just saw this thread. I can help you update over Teamviewer if you'd like. You have a new radio on your device which I'm sure a lot of folks here would like to try out.
I'd be happy to flash takju on your device and dump the radio at the same time. If you are interested, send me a PM.
EDIT: Actually, nevermind about the radio. I just checked the radio thread, and it seems like they already have that one.

I have created this thread to give a step-by-step on how to flash the latest yakju/takju (or mysid for toro users) build available on Google's developer site. (These are full ROMs. See this thread for updating to latest OTA build using incremental updates.)
This method works for earlier builds as well, and is essentially a "return-to-stock" method.
You can easily convert ANY GSM/HSPA (i.e., maguro) device to stock yakju (or takju) from any non-yakju build (yakjuxw, yakjuxs, yakjuux, yakjusc, yakjuzs, yakjudv, yakjukr, yakjujp, yakjuxe, etc.).
