updating ota under CWM - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hi,
How do I update to the latest stock OTA when using CWM?
Do I extract the image zip file from the google image
and update in fastboot as below:
fastboot -w update image-yakju-icl53f.zip
if so, will this wipe anything?

either you use fastboot or you use cwm, no point using the two at the same time, under controlled conditions.

-w wipes. Omit -w and it won't wipe.
With that being said it's not necessary. Download the OTA, boot into recovery and apply the update with CWM.

You are mixing-up two things: there is a difference between flashing the latest build or updating a previous build. In the first case, you actually flash a full ROM. In the latter, you flash an increment OTA update. Both methods should get you to exactly the same build.

Check out Chainfire's thread. He posted a no-wipe version flashable through Odin. Follow the instructions there and make sure you download the correct version for your phone (GSM/LTE)!

If you want fresh clean stock then you can do two things:
1) on linux, extract the contents of the tgz package and use the sh script inside to flash.
2) since that's not possible on windows, you could use Chainfire's odin files first and next manually flash the bootloader and/or radioimage with fastboot. You can extract the bootloader and radio yourself from the tgz/tar package or look for them in the development section, someone posted them there.

You can flash it in windows using fastboot, you don't need to use odin for anything:
Extract the factory images
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-maguro-primekk15.img
fastboot flash radio radio-maguro-i9250xxkk6.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot update image-yakju-icl53f.zip
Thanks everyone...will give it a go.....Cheers

Thanks. Just checking, if I would like to do this, but without a wipe, can't i just flash the bootloader and radio like you suggested, and then use Odin to flash Chainfire's no-wipe version right? Just so i fully understand, thanks!

What I posted does not wipe. There's little reason to use Odin. Using Odin you *can* easily brick your device (Ask all of the folks in the Nexus S forums that used Odin to flash the wrong package for their device).
fastboot update image-yakju-icl53f.zip <-- This does not wipe
fastboot -w update image-yakju-icl53f.zip <-- This wipes (-w wipes)

[Q] Flashing a ROM with CWM recovery doesn't work

Hello,
I have a yakjuxw and have followed the GUIDE flashing your first Galaxy Nexus Rom for NewBs to get the Google build Yakju. Step 1 to 5 were OK but when i flash image-yakju-itl41f:
- opening package
- installing update
- installation aborted
How can i get image-yakju-itl41f installed?
Thanks for helping!
Don't you have to use fastboot to flash the stock images..?

You can't flash that using cwm since cwm.
You need to flash that file manually with fastboot.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
OK so i tried to flash the file manually but i think i'm typing something wrong in the command prompt:
fastboot-windows.exe flash recovery.img
--> unknown partition 'recovery.img'
--> error: cannot determine image filename for 'recovery.img'
I understand what this means but i don't know what i should write. The image-yakju-itl41f.zip is in my root of the C drive and i extracted it.
In the GUIDE they speak about the stock recovery image, but i want the google build.
I've got it using this zip and fastboot-w update image-yakju-itl41f.zip
Thanks for helping guys

[Q] Update to 4.2.2 without USB

Is there a way to update to 4.2.2 using the stock .img from Google without USB? (Due to water damage) I would like to keep root too.
I was thinking to use Bluetooth to send boot.img, system.img, radio.img, bootloader.img and SuperSU.zip to /sdcard then use MobileOdin to flash them but unsure if it'll work.
Current state of Phone
Rooted stock 4.1.1 with latest TWRP recovery
Any ideas?
What's preventing you from downloading the new Rom via WiFi? Then flash in your recovery, or am I missing something here.. Are you trying to update to the latest 4.2.2 OTA? You can run ADB over your network, I personally would download the Latest CM10.1 and be done with it.

Sorry for not making it clear, yes I want stock 4.2.2 also need to update bootloader and radio, my new plan is this:
1) Download system.img boot.img JDQ39_radio_bootloader.zip (which I found Here) and SuperSU.zip
2) Using Mobile Odin Flash system.img and boot.img
3) Boot into recovery and flash JDQ39_radio_bootloader.zip and SuperSU.zip
4) Wipe
That should work right?

[YU Yureka (Plus)][ROM][OTA] Mirrors for official Cyanogen roms & OTA updates

Now CM appear to have disabled their links to official roms, updates & kernels for older builds, I've mirrored them all on AndroidFileHost and put the links in one post so that they're easy to find.
There are different files for each ROM: signed fastboot flashable zips, signed zips, OTA incremental update zips., boot-debuggable images and stock recovery images.
Signed fastboot flashable zips: These contain the complete rom and can overwrite everything including your data partition. These cannot be flashed via recovery - extract their contents and flash via fastboot. Due to changes in bootloader, don't use them to upgrade from CM 11S to CM 12S or downgrade from CM 12S to CM 11S.
Signed zips: Normal recovery-flashable zips that contains just the system and kernel (they won't overwrite your data partition).
OTA incremental update zips: These are recovery-flashable zips that update your rom to a newer version. To check which version you are running, look at the ro.build.version.incremental line in your /system/build.prop file and then update incrementally.
Boot-debuggable images: These are boot images (kernels) that enable adb root and the developer menu options. To be flashed via fastboot.
Stock recovery images: These are stock recovery images which are recommended for applying OTA incremental update zips. To be flashed via fastboot.
NOTE: Both Yureka & Yureka Plus share same firmware, but don't use pre-cm-12.0-YNG1TAS34J builds on Yureka Plus - the device will be soft-bricked!

This is a common symptom noticed by other users. In that use, use the full update zip i.e cm-12.0-YNG1TAS1K0-tomato-signed.zip.

I haven't told that CM has disabled the updates; instead they periodically removes old updates. Files related to YNG1TAS1K0 are directly grabbed from CM server, so they are 100% authentic.

Depends on the build version; it would be better to install latest stock recovery via fastboot & then flash the full OTA manually.

Tell me the exact build number. Choose the appropriate one & flash:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1ebf flash boot boot.img

Flash bootloader and boot.img?

When I upgrade Cyanogenmod, I download the matching archive from here:
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#bullhead
and do (with MTC20F for example):
flashboot flash bootloader bootloader-bullhead-bhz10r.img
flashboot flash radio radio-bullhead-m8994f-2.6.32.1.13.img
flashboot flash vendor vendor.img
Are there any other files I should be flashing such as boot.img?

OK, is there a better way of figuring out which version to download from developers.google.com than watching the output from TWRP when installing a ROM?

The rom dev will inform you which Android base is installed if you read their changelog. Then you download that factory image from Google to flash vendor. Radio and bootloader are optional.
