[Q] Newb question - will update to 4.0.3 wipe phone? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hey, I am wondering if my phone data will be deleted if I update my phone from 4.0.2 to 4.0.3 using the Galaxy Nexus ToolKit? I have the GSM version.

I thougt The Galaxy Nexus ToolKit could only install factory image and as far as i know there isn't a factory image for android 4.0.3... If you really have one, please let me know where you got it.
and about your question... It probably will wipe your phone.. Make a backup up front with the same Galaxy Nexus ToolKit

reply
Yeah I know the 4.0.3 isn't out yet, sorry for being unclear.
Is there anyway to restore contacs, messages, saved passwords etc. when the phone has been wiped?

those are sync'd to Google's servers.
apps and data: titanium backup (you have to have root before that to do so)

Messages aren't saved to Google servers.

Thank you so much for the answers guys
Do any of you know if there will be any 4.0.3 GSM release from Google soon? And can I update my phone directly from the phone over Wi-Fi if my phone is unlocked?

Unsure when it's coming out as 4.0.3 is halted for the Nexus S due to bugs / battery life.
If you want 4.0.3 then download a custom ROM. I personally don't have any problems with it.
Using AOKP Build 19 + Franco Kernel 19. Amazing battery life, performance.
And updates every 2-4 days with great maintenance from both developers.

Okey, thank you, will probably try it

you'd have to find the latest build on Rootzwiki as the latest on XDA is milestone 2. Google it as I don't want to provide the link here.
just search for "maguro build 17 aokp rootzwiki"

Some background might be useful. Did the Market ever work on your phone? Did you do something recently that may have changed that?
Are you having a problem activating your Google account right out of the box? What's going on here?
i brought this off ebay there is simply no market at all, i can not install an apk and in about phone : full maguro 4.0.1 icl23d 288 test keys

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the build being signed by test keys indicate that it is not a factory build?
Can you reboot to recovery? (turn the phone off, press and hold volume_down and the power button until it comes on, scroll down with volume_down and hit power to select the recovery option). What does the recovery say?
Sounds like someone set it back to factory and didn't flash gapps

Not useless, you'll have to do all the steps necessary to flash a custom rom (unlock, flash custom recovery) and download a gapps flash able, Then you'll be ready to go.

Is it VZW/Sprint? If so, it might be months until you get it.. that is if they approve of the update anyways. GSM you will get it mid july.. rooted.. you have it right now.

How can I check it? I haven't got even to 4.0.4 so it makes sense for me that I wont be updated..
If I root my phone, will my sms(which arent sycronised) deleted?and what about the rest of my information on the phone? can it damage my phone?
Rooting and flashing ROM's can damage your handset if you don't know what you're doing. Most flashing errors can be erectified though.
Where are you located in the world?
Verizon and Sprint are US based LTE handsets, they arent sold outside the states since they cant work on other LTE networks. Take a picture of your "About phone" page (screenshots can be taken with pressing "Volume down + Power" simultaniously.
Im from Israel.. so its not Verizon probably..

Have you tried to clear Google framework data and the try to check for updates again?
Swiftkey'ed on my CM9 Galaxy Nexus
I understand your confusion. A Nexus phone should get the update as soon as possible.
I just updated my phone yesterday, thanks to efrant how to guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1419170&highlight=yakjuzs
the problem is so many builds, I learned that yakju build is directly supported by google. However, today I learned that the build takju got the Jellybean update. Question what about the rest, yakjuux, yakjuzs, yakjujp.....etc.? I don't know, only android team knows the update process, so I hope they post something about that in google+, but I doubt that.
We have to wait, either get it OTA(which my never happen) or flash the update manually as soon google post the update URL's specified for your phone build.
If you have quadrant standard installed you can see your build under system information.

4.1.1 Jelly Bean OTA rolling out NOW for GSM devices!

It's official. The GSM Galaxy Nexus Jelly Bean FINAL OTA has officially started rolling out. Final release, folks! We ain't talkin' previews here.
Build version number seems to be JRO03C, rollouts for takju and yakju on maguro devices have been confirmed, no other concrete info yet on any other builds/versions.
Changes? Seems to be pretty much the same as JRN84D, probably with stability fixes, etc. But when comparing with ICS, there are many new features obviously.
OTA update links:
takju 4.1 JRN84D to final 4.1.1 (JRO03C) : Download official ZIP (thanks CocoCopernicus and mbirth!)
takju 4.0.4 IMM76I to final 4.1.1 (JRO03C) : Download official ZIP (thanks a lot lostinbeta!)
Yakju 4.0.4 IMM76I to 4.1.1 final JRO03C: Download official ZIP (Thanks a lot jellymelly)
Instructions on how to flash the update links, are on Efrant's thread here. Note that you need to be on 100% stock to be able to flash the zips. That means, your radio, bootloader, kernel, boot, system, etc should be completely stock. Rooting is fine though, the update should flash fine on rooted devices but you might have to restore root later on.
Update: Search functionality is NOT being removed with this update, as per this quote from The Verge's post:
Update: A Google spokesperson has informed us that the company has not pushed out any changes to search functionality in connection with the Jelly Bean update.

What was that trick you could use to update to 4.0.4? It had something to do with clearing data somewhere. Will that still work?

Run alogcat before you install, and look for a file name ending in .zip.
Or, install it, root, and then open the log files in /cache in a text editor and look in there.

Official Jelly Bean update for my i9250 (Canada/Unlocked/GSM)

Hello all. I appologize for the silly question, or if it has been asked before, but here it is.
I just picked up a Galaxy Nexus online, brand new and unlocked. I got it, popped in my Virgin SIM, have it all ready to go and synced with my Google account, but I am stuck on ICS.
Here as some specs:
Android Version: 4.0.1
Baseband Version: I9250UGKK7
Kernel: 3.0.1-ge2433f2 [email protected] #1
Build Number: ITL41D.I9250UGKK7
If I go to System updates for the OTA update, it tells me that the sustem is up to date.
Is there any way to get the official update for my Nexus?
Also, the device is not rooted, and does not have an unlocked bootloader.
Please let me know, as I am very interested!
Thank you!
Lambrecht van Dijk
There is a way. It might work but try this. Go to all apps in manage apps section. Search for google services framework. Press it to go to details and then hit clear data.
Hit the thanks button if it helped or worked.

All Canadian GNex are sold with yakjuux builds. So far, no one has reported getting JB OTA on a yakjuux build. If you want, you can switch your build to yakju or takju (both of which are updated well before any of the other builds). Or you can wait -- JB should be out shortly, as someone received his device back from warranty service with a yakjuux JB build on it (which you could also flash if you want).
EDIT: Posting the same thing in two separate threads is not going to get it answered any sooner, as is likely going to upset people.

Hi, my appologies, I tried to somehow move to the other forum, but couldn't delete the message, so I ended up posting it twice.
Could you please clarify as to the yakjuux build?
And by switchig builds, how would you do that?
So JB should be out for UGKK7 build?
And no, sorry the clear data did not work.

Yakju and yakjuux are regional variants of the Galaxy Nexus. The phone is the same but it's preloaded with a slightly different version of android and more important, only the yakju and takju are updated directly from google servers. Al other variants are upgraded by samsung. That's why you don't have JB yet.
Like Efrant said, you can easily flash a yakju or takju (if you want Google Wallet preinstalled) builds in your phone to get JB and recieve future updates first hand.
All the data on your phone will be deleted, make a backup. Read Efrant's guide. It's very helpful!
If you want the thrill of an OTA update, flash a yakju build of ICS 4.0.4 and you'll get the OTA message. Or you can flash the stock factory image of jelly bean right away.
Cheers!
Thanks! I will be sure to read over the guides!
What about for my build UGKK7, will Samsung ever release an update?
Please do not spam the boards with the same question. Locking this one but will leave the one in Q&A open. Thank you.

Assuming you are at 4.4.4 (because reboots were supposed to be fixed in 4.4.3), the only real advice I can give, is to backup whatever you care about (you can use Helium from Koushik, does not need root), and do a factory reset, reinstall the OS from factory images, if it still happens and it's under warranty, send it back.
I am still 4.3

If you mean can you use another ROM for a different device, no. There is maybe one exception , people have reported that they have flashed flo ROM onto deb (minus a working radio), and assuming this works, it is a anomaly, and I still would not recommend someone do it, even if it does work.
If you mean a new version meant for your device, then yes, of course you can.

I still don't understand, I think we're having a language barrier issue or something, you specified which build you're going to use (4.4.4 KK for flo) then you say you're going to use a different build, which is it?
If you have a N7 2013 wifi device, then flashing 4.4.4 for N7 2013 wifi ROM is OK, and will not cause issues.
