[Q] I screwed up

My wife and I both have the lte nexus, mine I got the ICL53F update before I got out of the store. Hers didn't get the update until later on that day. I rooted mine when I got home after ICL53F hers I rooted before ICL53F. I know I screwed up, since then she has downloaded a ton of apps customized it etc. then the update popped up and she tried to update it and obviously it won't. Is there any way to either unroot install update then root again without doing a factory reset. Also before I get flamed in my defense she said an update screen came up and she said yes update so I assumed (stupid of me) that it already had ICL53F on it before I rooted it. Thanks a lot in advance when I told her I may have to wipe I thought she was going to explode.

Since your wife's phone is already rooted that makes it better for you. There are several roms in the development section that are on 4.0.2 and 4.0.3. Just use titanium back up to back up all her apps and app data, then you can install an updated rom and restore her apps and settings back to the phone. Of if you want a factory image to restore from go here: http://code.google.com/android/nexus/images.html

Agreed. Put Titanium Backup on her phone, backup her apps and user data, then install either the stock ROM or one of your choice. Use TB to restore only user apps and app data.
Before you factory reset and install the fresh ROM, copy the sdcard files off to your computer just to be safe.
Good luck.

Rooted?
Does this mean that when I have 4.0.1 ITL41F and I am rooted and boot-loader is unlocked, I will never receive the update to 4.0.2?

Simply being rooted doesn't stop you from receiving OTA updates on the stock ROM, but using custom recovery does. If you have stock recovery, you should get the update just fine. If you have custom recovery (ClockworkMod), you'll get the update notification but it won't install and you'll have to do it manually. In either case, you'll usually need to re-root after the update.

no ota update yakju ?

hi guys ihave an strange issue iwas using stock yakju 4.0.2 getting the update via ota
but after root and flash another rom idecide to come back to stock so via odin icame back to 4.0.1 thinking that iwill recieve the update directly ! but ididnt !! is there any problem or ?google stopped the ota update !!

From what I know, you have to have the bootloader locked. With it unlocked you won't receive the OTA. I maybe wrong though...

yes you are right but if you came back to 4.0.1 via odin the bootloader will automaticlly locked ! as i know and the unlock image which is below google type when i open the device dissapear so iguess that already locked

You can get the OTA with an unlocked boot loader but make sure you have the stock boot loader and radio as well as the ROM.

the problem is im not getting it dunno why so do you guys recmmend to unlock root the device and just flash any thing i want due to recovery !? and which is faster flash update due to recovery or getting ota updates ? from your experience

Did you flash a YAKJU image? Not everyone with the YAKJU** image have gotten the update, so be sure to check which one you have (should say in build.prop i believe or any system info app).

Also, why'd you use ODIN? Just use fastboot to flash the stock images Google provide

I think not everyone receive the OTA update from Google

Maybe 10 minutes after getting my Nexus i got the notification to update to 4.0.2. Mine was yakju out the box. Booted device up for the first time and my Nexus was in Japanese.

I always get the 4.0.2 OTA when i restore the phone to stock ITL41F.
I restored my phone today again and i dont recibe OTA update, seems to be disabled the OTA updates.
Maybe Google is changing something? who knows XD But i´m pretty sure that something happens with the OTA updates for yakju since yesterday.
PD; sorry about my english... XD

I'm still stuck on 4.0.1 on mine, and it came with yakju...so maybe the update still hasn't finished rolling out? Anyone have any other thoughts?

Stock bootloader? There is no other kind at the moment. And besides, it does not affect anything. Stock radio? Again, all radios available at the moment are stock. I think what you meant to say was the yakju radio. Although it is needed to install the OTA update, it will not affect you getting notification of an OTA update if you are using a radio that comes from a different stock build other than yakju.

Yes, I would recommend flashing the latest yakju image (if you don't mind wiping, as unlocking the bootloader will wipe your device). See link in my signature for how to flash to the latest yakju version.

No one knows the logic behind how updates are pushed out. Just flash the latest build, or update your current build (if your bootloader is unlocked). See link in my signature for how to update your build.

thank you guys especially efrant for your advise ijust rooted and unlocked my gnexus and flashed the last google image using tooklit so easy

I recibe the OTA update one hour ago, the problem with OTA updates is solved.

[Q] Still weiting for OTA 4.0.4

Hello,
i have a Galaxy Nexus "yakju" still on 4.0.2
i have opend the bootloader to able to make full dumps with cwm (without flashing it), but i got no ota update. i tried to delete Google Services Framework Data, but with no success...

Just flash the update, since you already have your bootloader unlocked. Files have been available for weeks.

Hi martonikaj,
i know that way to flash the OTA file via /cache, but my question is more in general. has google stopped the OTA? why i don't get it? couldn't find any usable info about this. May the bootloader locked to get OTA updates?

Absolutely NO.
I have got some fiends that receive the OTA with the bootloader locked... if you have anni unlocked nexus... wy don't you simply flash the ROM?

No, your bootloader doesn't have to be locked to get the OTA. Your radio, build.prop and complete footprint need to be proper to receive it though.
You don't use the /cache mode. If you have an unlocked bootloader, you just boot into a temporary CWM image and flash the update with Fastboot. The update will wipe that CWM and you'll be on stock 4.0.4.

I downloaded the OTA files and flashed it with stock recovery...

if i flash update file from takju 4.0.4 to 4.1.1 through cwm with just unlocked bootl

if i manually update from 4.0.4 takju to the jb 4.1.1 through cmw, will i still get OTA updates in future. also, if the i do the update, will it lock the bootloader and erase cwm? thanks

OK to get a few things right here, you need to have stock recovery to install OTA, no it won't relock boot loader, yes it will erase CWM. Your rom needs to be 100% stock (including boot loader, kernel and radio aswell as rom and recovery).
The way I just went to 4.1.1 (takju) I was running the preview JB Google IO rom anyway so in CWM I reflashed that to undo any system changes I made. Then using Mskips nexus tool kit I used it to flash stock recovery and then BOOT (NOT FLASH) to CWM. Find the update and flash it. Before you do all this use titanium to back up your stuff, do a nandroid and get voodoo OTA root keeper so you get root back after the update.
Then using the tool kit again I used it to flash CWM back. Then your done. I won't give further instructions but for further reading efrant has very good posts about this stuff, mskip has very good instructions on his tool kit in the thread

i'm still a little confused. my phone is completely stock. it's a takju 4.0.4. i don't want to wait for the OTA for jb 4.1.1. i was going to use the nexus tool kit to unlock the bootloader ( i believe that's required to boot it into cwm) then run the OTA update that people posted for my version to update it. I don't care about keeping cwm or bootloader, just want the update now and keep the phone still stock. i also want to make sure that i'll get OTA updates in the future. It looks like I can just boot it into cwm without flashing it, so that's what i'm going to do.

Yeah you can but you need to unlock the boot loader to do it, which wipes your entire phone so back up any thing you want to keep like photos or music. When the bootloader is open you can just leave it and just lock it if you need to send for warranty. Or if you already have root but locked boot loader there is a free app to unlock it on play store

once, i update the file using the nexus toolkit to boot into custom recovery, once it updates, it will lock the bootloader and the phone will be back to stock right? or is the bootloader going to stay open.
also, will i still get future OTA updates if i just do the update by booting into recovery and not flashing cwm?

Once you unlock it the bootloader stays open until you choose lock I again. You can still get ota but remember you need the matching bootloader, kernel, radio and unmodified system and recovery. So just booting cwm is fine to apply and then after its applied the patch you can flash what ever you want again. I find its always a good idea to make a back up of a 100% stock rom and keep it on the pc just in case. This is all simple and quick with the tool kit

Hey, first, thanks for the replies. Second, if I unlock the bootloader to install update, make no other changes, meaning everything else is stock and the update is googles stock update, them once the update is done, can I run the toolkit again to lock the bootloader. Doing this will it bring my phone to same everything as a stock ota updated one? Or is me unlocking and then locking bootloader going to cause me to have a different version for the next ota

No worries its fine. Yes after you have successfully applied a stock OTA patch onto a stock rom then you are running the same as everyone. Their are minor regional differences, like takju and yakuto (what ever lol) toro, toro plus etc but flashing a ota patch from a different build won't work on a rom that doesn't match.
You can go to the Google developer site and search for the full ROM and you know definitely its 100% as its meant to be, the patches just write over the bits which change in updates. The thing to bear in MIMD about flashing the whole ROM from Google site is that it will wipe your entire phone

Please Help! How to restore from backup on laptop

I am a n00b.
Just today I changed my phone from yakjuux to yakju, and it all seemed to go smoothly.
I am receiving texts, and everything seems to be working, and when I was trying to update to jelly bean OTA, everything was going well, until a little red triangle popped up over the little android, and my phone restarted with no change. I flashed my original radio image (UGLA4) so Im not sure whats up with that. If anyone has any suggestions about how I can fix this it would be greatly appreciated.
If not, I would like to restore my phone to yakjuux using a backup I made using this website: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21266325&postcount=239 as a guide. I have all the files saved onto my laptop, but Im unsure about how to use them and restore my phone to its original state (yakjuux)
Many thanks

You are seeing the little red triangle because you have an image that is not stock. You need to do the optional steps to get the ota (i.e., you need to flash the bootloader, radio and recovery). Go back to the convert to yakju guide and do them.
P.S. why did you not flash the JB images instead of the ICS images??

I flashed the bootloader, radio and recovery(I probably should have mentioned that in my initial post). Do I need to download a new image to flash onto my device? And how can I tell if its stock? I got my factory image from the link from your guide.
Im not sure why I didnt flash the JB images... I'll blame it on my n00bery.

Will there be any problems if I follow all the steps in your guide, and pretty much redo everything? I would flash the bootloader, flash the same radio (UGLA4), flash the data paritition, flash the system partition, flash the kernel and flash the recovery the only difference being that I would use the JB image rather than the ICS image.
Thanks again

There will be no issues. Note that if you flash the UGLA4 radio, the next OTA update will not install. You will need to flash the XXLF1 radio before attempting to install the next OTA update. (That is probably why you are seeing the red triangle -- the OTA is expecting to see the XXLA2 radio, and it is seeing the UGLA4. If you want the update to JB to install, just flash the XXLA2 radio, and the update will install.)

Im worried about not flashing the original radio... Im with wind mobile, and I heard that ugla4 is designed to fix roaming issues with winds service. If I switch the radio to xxla2, Im worried that I might get some of these roaming issues and a rather expensive bill.... thoughts?

After updating to JB, I got prompted to update the OS to 4.1.2 and tried the OTA. For some reason it worked even though i wasn't using the corresponding stock radio image, and now I'm being prompted to do another OTA update (4.2.1). Seeing as the OTA worked last time, I tried to do it once more with the 4.2.1. update, but i ran into the same problem as last time: a little red triangle appeared over the little green android. So I did what you suggested, and flashed the xxla02 radio, and then tried to install the OTA but the little red triangle appeared again. So my question is; are there new corresponding stock boot, radio, and recovery images for JZO54K? If so, i probably still have the boot, radio, and recovery images that were stock to JRO03C.
I figure that if i flash the new stock boot radio and recovery images, the OTA should go smoothly. Any thoughts? Or should I just manually flash the 4.2.1 update that i can download from the google developers website ?

Not all updates will update the radio or boot images, but some will. If you are on 4.1.2, for future updates to work, including 4.2.1, you need the boot, recovery and Radio images from 4.1.2.
