Still on 4.0.1. Phone wont update. - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Anyone else got a GN still on 4.0.1 ??
I hit the update button but it tells me "system up to date"
GSM version in Canada. (Bought from Virgin, using fidi SIM)
No root or mod.
I find it odd since everyone is already talking about 4.0.3...

Hi,
do tou have unlocked the bootloader?

I'm still on 4.0.1 as well, which I bought from Rogers. I think I'm just going to root it to one of the 4.0.3 roms ...

You probably have yakjuwtf build rather than yakju, so your Galaxy Nexus is less blessed than any other.
Joking aside. Many SGN's have modified builds with some regional and/or carrier changes. Personally I don't believe that otas for yakjuwtf are made by Samsung. I think that google makes them, but it takes more time due to those little differences.
You will receive your OTA soon. At this point none of nonyakju builds, that I heard of, had received OTA to 4.0.2.

If you have a Virgin, Bell, Rogers, or Telus Galaxy Nexus, then you have one with a yakjuux build. No one with a yakjuux build has received the OTA to 4.0.2 yet -- it is still coming. If you want 4.0.2 right now, you need to flash a yakju build. See instructions in my sig.

The problem with these slow updates is that we are always months behind the most recent bug fixes and feature enhancements. Considering there are no carrier modifications added to the firmware, there's no good excuse for such long delays in getting these out to customers.

I go into About phone -> System updates
then i press check now, and then it says : Your system is currently up to date. Last checked for update is : {current time}.
Strange! Weird that you don't get the option for the update. Another option for you would be to root and rom the phone. That way you don't have to wait for OTA you can just install yourself. Good luck anyway

It appears that Google isn't pushing the updates all at once. In the Netherlands people reported the update allready in december and some where getting it in januari. I myself got it about a week and a half ago. I guess all it needs is a little patience ;-)

I'm not sure. Some say it might have to do with batches of phones that have been manufactured and shipped but I didn't see any proof of that. All I know is that I myself got the update about 2 weeks after I first got the phone this month and that other people got it in december. I even saw people who got their phones in December and got the update later then me...
I geuss the truth is in the hands and wisdom of Google ;-)

There are some variations of the phone, some are updated by google and some by Samsung. I had YAKJUXW before and didnt get the updates, but after i changed to YAKJU the update came immidiately after i booted the phone.
The difference of the builds is just regional i think, but i could be wrong.

True. Forgot about that. But the fact remains that also with JAKJU the update was rolled out in stages. I myself have a JAKJU and I heard of many getting the OTA for 4.0.2 on different moments.
If you have a JAKJUxx build the update should indeed come from Samsung.

I followed the guide in the second post of this thread to change from YAKJUXW to YAKJU.
/edit:
I don't know if the Norwegian T9 will be included in the YAKJU builds, it is NOT in the build i have now though (I'm using Swiftkey X, so it's not so important for me).
Is there any good reason why Samsung is giving out some phones with yakju and others with yakjuxw? Is Samsung doing anything with the build from Google before releasing it to us? Like adding apps or settings or restrictions?
I'm still on 4.0.1 as well. Wish I would get the update!

They are more than likely carrier tweaks, rather than Samsung. Could be anything from corporate colors to tweaks and restrictions to the OS...
Just out of curiousity, if I flash a custom dev rom (ie. cm9 or aokp), will my phone become yajku?
Nope, you will be dependent upon the ROM dev for updates (which will likely be more frequent), and you will probably have to flash them yourself...
I followed this method.. Everything is great now

I don't think this right. For example, here in Canada, all of the carriers have the same build, the yakjuux. It is not carrier dependent, so that's why I don't think there are carrier tweaks. (Unless of course, all the carriers in Canada use the same tweaks!) The same goes for the yakjuxw builds. Those are found in more than one country, and on more than one carrier, so... ?

[Q] Update Galaxy Nexus ?

Hello,

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.

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.

yakjuzs (GSM) 4.0.4

Have anyone received the 4.0.4 OTA update on their yakjuzs (GSM HK version)?
no nothing yet. It might take a while with the signal loss issue; I'd rather wait and get a stable OS. https://code.google.com/p/android/i...s Owner Summary Stars&groupby=&sort=&id=28133

Anyone got it yet?
nope. waiting also. i have the HK nexus but im in manila.
well they sorted out the signal issue with a patch but it was still on 4.0.4 for the yakju builds. hopefully we get a real OTA soon.

yeah its fixed. but they never made 4.0.4 for non yakju builds. maybe they are waiting for 4.0.5 or something before they roll it out to all builds.

[Q] Terminology questions

Is there a thread that explains the terminology commonly used around here?
What is toro?
What is maguro?
What is a milestone?
Seems like ROM devs are using this term in place of "stable"?
Where can I find out what the latest available OTA is for the CDMA gnex?

Just out of curiosity, where did you end up getting it from (if you can share that info)?
I just got my phone today and I'm loving it. It shipped with 4.0.2 and I ran a system update check and says its completely up to date. Does the CDMA Gnex not have official OTA's for 4.0.3 and 4.0.4? Do these have to be flashed manually?

There never was any 4.0.3 OTA update for any GN device. 4.0.4 OTA is not yet available for CDMA devices yet, but there is a leak in the thread I linked to above.

That means you're getting OTA via Samsung, not Google. What I recommend you to do is use Efrant's guide to convert from what you have to yakju or takju. It only takes few minutes... Make sure that you got everything backed up, since the process includes you wiping EVERYTHING.
But when I connect my Nexus to kies it keep saying "connecting", tried on two different computers.
BTW, am I running the right firmware?
Well first of all, Gnex doesn't use Kies... You need to download the drivers yourself
And what do you mean by right variant?
Samsung use kies right? Where can I get the driver?
I think I am using Verizon firmware?
Are you with Verizon? If not, the answer is no.
Only device with Samsung Touchwiz uses it. Gnex is a PURE ANDROID. Without any brand bloatware. That is why it doesn't have Kies.
Verizon variant is mysid and if you have GSM Gnex and you can text, call and etc, you don't have Verizon variant. You don't need to worry about that.
You can get the driver and how to install it from this post
according on the web, IMM76K seems to be a Verizon firmware?
That is Verizon Android 4.0.4 version (I think). Mysid is like a "codename" for all Verizon ROMs. For example, CM10 for GSM Nexus is either takju or yakju, but CM10 for Verizon will be mysid. Hope that answers your question
how can i update to 4.1.1?

---------- Post added at 05:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:46 PM ----------
OP: If you don't want to convert to yakju or takju, you just need to wait. From what I know, your variant doesn't have the Jelly Bean OTA yet (Blame Samsung). I personally would just convert it and get it over with. That's what I did, and I am very happy with my decision. Photos and musics and the moved to your computer and apps+data can be backed up by following this guide
I thank you for your help. Here are my last questions:
How to tell if my phone is an import and find out where it is from?
BTW I still can't update (not flash) to 4.1.1
Well the variant can tell you if it's an import. For example, you have yakjuzs is a China variant, so it is an import. If you had takju, it will be from US. If yakjuux, Canadian. Something like that.
Ok i think mine is not an import then, thank you very much!

There are ways to unlock the GN without wiping data (it involves using an exploit rather than "fastboot oem unlock").
ezekeel's app has such a method.
However: I am not familiar with the Verizon GN that you say you have. I can't say for sure the app will work with it. You can ask around in his thread. There may also be other ways I'm not aware of.
