Hey as far as I am aware you just have to wait dude. Google don't roll the updates out all at once.
By the way I'm a user from Malaysia..

I take no credit for this but what I did was manually update it using a how to on the GNex Toolkit FAQ page. Just make sure to back up your stuff first, so you don't lose anything.

I'm also stuck on 4.0.1 and the phone says there are no updates for me yet.
From what i hear 4.0.3 is behind the corner already?

4.0.3 is on halt at the moment.
4.0.2 is latest GN OTA
use a custom ROM (such as AOKP) to get 4.0.3 now
Interesting why i don't get the 4.0.2 then, anyway what are the changes in this one?

Are you on a yakju build? https://market.android.com/details?...SwxLDEsImRlLmNicnVlZ2cub2ZmaWNpYWx1cGRhdGUiXQ.. use that to check.
If you're not on a 'yakju' build, this may explain why you haven't received the OTA yet.
You can take things into your own hands,
1) Convert your non-yakju device to yakju by fastbooting stock Google images (you can do it to 4.0.2 as well).
Link: http://code.google.com/android/nexus/images.html
2) Flash a custom ROM on 4.0.3 base such as AOKP.
Changes are..... go google it.

Fastboot doesn't but unlocking Fastboot does erase everything so be sure to make a proper backup before doing that.... Or you just wait until Samsung releases the 4.0.2 OTA...
Edit: Oh..., unlocking Fastboot is nescessary for rooting the phone, and that is needed for flashing Yakju in stead of Yakjuxw... There are multiple threads around this forum on how to do that...

It's basically no problem if you ar eon Yakjuxw. It just means that your updates will come from Samsung. Fastboot is just the standard bootloader and gives you some boot options. It is standard accessible through the phone, booting by pressing Volume Up+Volume Down+ Power all at the same time. In order to flash a different ROM (for instance Yakju build) you will have to unlock fastboot (yes that will erase everything).

I want the 4.0.2 update. Thats the reason for this post. Waiting for samsung to provide the update might take some time. Or is the update not worth all the hassle to fastboot my GNex? Plus, my GNex would not connect to my windows PC through USB. I thought the update would help.

Ok... If your GNex won't connect to your PC through USB you might have a different problem. In order to flash Yakju or any other rom you need to be able to connect to PC first in order to unlock the bootloader. To my knowledge there is no way doing that directly from your phone.
To connect your Gnex to your PC you will need the ADB/Fastboot drivers. I myself used the MSKIP tool that you can find here: Mskip Tool You can install the drivers for an USB connection from the tool and it is explained there how you can see if the phone is recognised and connected. From there on it is pretty much self explaining with the tool. I think you might even turn your phone into a Yakju build by using the menu option "Extract and Flash Google Factory Stock Rom". Off course you'll have to unlock the Fastboot bootloader first.
The post rom MSKIP is pretty clear so it might give you all the info you need from here....
Good luck

Well to do that you need to flash the bootloader.
If you screw up flashing the bootloader (like unplugging the cable when it's transfering the file), then you're dead.

Exactly.
On some of the SGS phones its possible to mod them to be unbrickable. Basically you can make it so it boots via USB (at least that's what I understand it to do)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1310865
Actually fastboot is a very safe protocol, it checks for sums before sending and before flashing so that the image is still intact. However if your bootloader is already corrupt on your computer or you dd (flash) some crap into the bootloader partition, your phone will be bricked.
I know a guy who wanted to return his HTC Desire HD. He replaced his bootloader with a porn image. I don't think I have to mention that the phone did not boot anymore

No phone is idiot proof and as a previous Galaxy S II owner I have seen guys flash a i9000 (Galaxy S) ROM to their phone and then wonder why it does not boot and the amount of guys who flashed the partition table which also screwed their phones is unbelievable.
Bottom line is read the documentation and read it again and any questions ask on here and from there you cannot go wrong.

Your device DOES receive OTA updates. It's just a matter of time. Regardless, there are two ways to update to 4.0.2: by flashing yakju 4.0.2 from the link provided above (which will wipe your device), or by updating your current build (which will not wipe). See link in my signature.

I had the yakjuxw and flashed it to yakju. I received the past OTA updates just fine, but when I received the message saying there's a new update for my phone, I went ahead and downloaded the 130Mb -140Mb size update and when it asked to restart my phone, it installed maybe a third of the way and the the little android went on his back and "collapsed" and I had to take out the battery to restart my phone. I tried it again and the same thing happened.
What could be wrong? :crying:

In order for the OTA to work properly you have to have stock recovery, radio, bootloader, and system files. You can't have modified anything except an unlocked bootloader.

so what you're saying is I have to re flash yakju?
I restore my phone to factory settings first?
I had yakjuxw also, it comes with a different radio. flashing to yakju (or takju) is not enough. you have to flash the radio also. look for efrant's post in how to do it and get it, it's in these forums, that's what I followed.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895
sorry, just re-read the question, what you describe happened to me when I deleted the recovery folder from the update file. The unmodified file updated fine. But then you have to root and install clockwork recovery again, which is fairly easy too.
Another issue I had prior to that was when I tried to flash the update and I didn't realize that the file didn't finish copying to the phone. check file size it should be around 147mb I think. I hope one of these tips help!

That is because you do not have the XXLA2 radio installed. The last update did NOT update the radio, so it didn't check to see if you had the XXLA2 radio installed and, hence, did not fail.
I had exactly the same problem, however as everyone is saying; Just flash the xxla2 radio again and the problem is solved!

that has all your answers. go read it.
Using the Nexus tool kit all you need to do is make sure you have a good copy of the stock Verizon os downloaded from the Google site (JRO3C0) or whatever it is. Then connect your phone with it powered down. Select the option saying the phone will not start (bricked) and select unroot with factory image and follow the prompts. This will unroot your phone and flash the stock Verizon os. After that I would re-lock the boot loader, disconnect your phone and pull the battery with it still on. After you power it back up you can enable debugging and unlock and root again. Sorry if I called the steps the wrong name as I do not have my computer with me and cannot look directly at the wugfresh tool. Hope this helps out.

There are enough guides on how to do this. Please use google..
!This WILL wipe the internal data!
1. Download the 4.3 Factory image and extract it to your fastboot folder.
2. Reboot into bootloader after you backed up important things to the computer.
3. Type 'fastboot oem unlock' and highlight yes with the volume Keys and select it with the power button.
4. Type 'flash-all.bat'.
