So, I got my GN today and I just noticed that my OS is 4.0.2
Is that the latest and the greatest?

A few quick questions about the phone you just got:
1) Was it made in China or Korea?
2) Is the build version yakju or something like yakjuwx/yakjusc/yakuux/etc? You can find this with the Android system info app
3) Who did you buy it from?
Thanks!
Got my 4.0.2 update today in the morning (an hour ago) as well.
1. How to check that? Sticker under the battery doesn't have that info.
2. Mine is "yakjuwx". What does it say?
3. I bought mine in Lithuania/Europe and not from a mobile operator but from official store. Box says that it's made in Korea and distributor - Poland/Europe.
BTW, what has been fixed in 4.0.2?
i believe it's the latest if you're unrooted.. no official update for 4.0.3 yet..
Also recieved 4.0.2 today and got yakjuxw
My phone (i9250) just downloaded the 4.0.2 update. Upon reboot it got stuck on that android busy screen. After about half an hour I removed the battery. I could then boot into Android normally. It's still 4.0.1 and now claims there are no updates available.
My phone is rooted using the WugFresh method, but I did not install any custom ROM. Is it to be expected that a rooted Galaxy Nexus would fail OTA updates?

not an official OTA, but the official 4.0.3 update itself is right there on google's servers for any nexus user to build for themselves. Build your own zip.
There was rumor/speculation of another update release by the end of January.
Well it's February so rumours are rumours. Not being a smartass or anything. I hope we get the update soon. Some glitches are inconvenient.

Are updates carrier-centric? My phone reports that there are no updates, and I'm on 4.0.1.

He is talking about the GSM model, you have CDMA.
I hope they release the OTA soon... it's so laggy....

If you used the WugFresh tool kit to unlock and root your phone, then it installed ClockworkMod Recovery. Having CWM on your phone will prevent it from receiving OTA updates.
IMHO if you've unlocked and rooted your phone, it's time for a custom rom. There are some really good, stable roms out there using 4.0.3. And the developers update far more frequently than you'd recieve OTA updates.
Don't be scared, the developers have made it as easy as they possibly could. Before a month ago, I'd never run anything but a stock phone. I'm still a complete noob, but I've run three different custom roms, flashed kernels, radios, and added mods... Just follow directions, always back-up, and if things get hairy, you've a large community of really smart people who are willing to help.

Considering they haven't even started rolling out 4.0.2 in some regions, I think we have a bit of a wait on our hands.

hello all,
I have a questions about the root on my device..
Last week I bought a SGS2 4G Epic Sprint, and I unlocked for use on Mexico, Iusacell company...
currently the phone it's perfectly work is CDMA...
With the phone root and unlocked, I can update to new version of the Android..??
Regards...
Unlocking for use in another country and rooting are not the same thing. Are you sure you are rooted? Even if you are, there is not a stable Ice Cream Sandwich ROM ready for this phone yet.
I think the question is whether or not the firmware can be updated while rooted?

I was curious about that too. So if you're on a stock ROM w/root or a custom ROM and try to update it from the GUI will it just return an error or will it not even show there's a firmware update?
ok ok
my phone only it's unlocked, still are not rooted because i'm not sure by this questions....

Yes, I am interested in the answer to this as well. What happens when a completely stock, yet rooted, ET4G phone tries to receive either a pushed, or requested OTA update?
I don't know if this is the same case, but this might help:
I bought a Nexus S 4g to use in Mexico, and after unlock, I was still getting the OTA updates, and after rooting too. but the problem I had when updating an OTA on my rooted phone was that when I updated the OTA update I lost my root access (since it was an OTA of a Stock not-rooted ROM)

If you are only rooted and take a ota update it will work and will remove root as no company is going to send a ota update rooted.... That is why they tell you never update a rooted phone as there may not be a way to root it again if you do.... Not as big of a deal with Samsung as we can root with Odin...HTC was bad about this ....

No need to unroot. The update will still work even with root. However, you need to flash back the stock recovery, or the update won't install automatically.
If you get OTA root keeper https://market.android.com/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.otarootkeeper by supercurio you won't even loose root after the update, well thats the idea. Our phone is supported and I'm waiting to try it out.

Do you have the GSM version or the CDMA version?
ICL53F is the latest update for the GSM version. If you have the CDMA version, just update it manually. Look here.

You can run root apps, but don't have a custom ROM. If you don't need root apps, then don't root
Could be wrong but last I checked 4.0.2 was the last official OTA for the CDMA nexus as well. Only two or so people received 4.0.4 and that was a fluke. But like I said, I could be wrong.

This is true. 4.0.2 is the latest official OTA for GSM and CDMA. Until 4.0.4 is rolling out to everyone, I don't call it "official".

It may not be widespread yet, but if there is an official download link available (i.e., like this http://android.clients.google.com/p....signed-mysid-IMM30B-from-ICL53F.659e0a8f.zip), in my opinion it's pretty official.

I have an unlocked Nexus on stock rom 4.0.2. I haven't been using for a couple of weeks. Finally I decided it's time to sell it. So I charged it up and reset to factory settings. On restart it told me that there is an update available.
Sweet! Let's do it. The phone restarts, goes into update mode and then somewhere in the middle it fails. After a minute it restarts and works ok, but the OS is still 4.0.2
This happened about a week ago. Since that time it has asked me to update 3-4 times and has failed every one of them.
Anyone can suggest me how to deal with this? I just want to upgrade it to 4.0.4 via normal way.
why bother updating when your anyways selling it
and why ru selling it by the way ?? is it buggy,faulty or something ??
i dont have my nexus with me yet but i'll can advice clearing that setting (and data if available) from settings and try checking update >> apply update
or simply screw all that manually flash 4.0.4
You have an update for which variant on which carrier???
This could be a download issues that happens. It should eventually work. But I don't know which carrier your on and also there could be OTA traffic.
If you changed kernel /radios/Stock recovery for cwm/twrp /Stock system apps the ota wont work..
If you want to flash yakju or takju(Stock factory images) follow efrant's guide

Not sure what do you mean by that. The update just pops up saying there is a new version available. The phone was bought in Czech Republic, it is not locked to any carrier.
It won't update if you don't have stock recovery.

If you "rooted" by flashing the root files using CWM, then you need to flash back the stock recovery for the update to work.

Don't accept it. You can't take an OTA when you're on a custom ROM.
You need to flash yakju or takju 4.0.4 (with the corresponding boot, radio and recovery images), then you can accept and install the update.

Well flashing back to stock yakju or takju will completely wipe the device and he'll have to wait to be notified again.

Rooted doesn't matter. Custom recovery, system file changes (fonts, mods, etc.), and radio changes do matter and all stop you from being able to accept and auto-install an OTA.
If you're on yakjuwx though, you won't be notified for a 4.1 update. There's no 4.1 OTA rolling out for yakjuwx yet. If for some reason it has the 4.1 OTA from before saved in /cache and it tries to notify you, it won't work, because that OTA is meant for yakju 4.0.4 devices.
If you want to be on stock 4.1.1, you need to flash your phone to yakju/takju 4.0.4 and wait for the OTA or flash the OTA package yourself.

The Nexus is just about impossible to brick. Just make sure you follow the steps properly and you'll be fine.
To convert to yakju (or takju if you want Google Wallet preinstalled), follow this guide: [HOW-TO] [GSM & CDMA] Convert to latest yakju/takju/mysid (incl JB) / Return to stock
DO NOT USE A TOOLKIT. For God's sake please just read and learn how to do it. Then the next time you need to mess with your phone you'll actually have some knowledge of how it works. If you have a specific question, I'd be extremely surprised if it hasn't been asked before. You should search first, then post in that thread or post a new one with your specific issue.

I have Galaxy Nexus, I was prompted to Install the Jelly Bean upgrade, but I don't want to.
I know there is a work around to have Flash working, but I don't want to part with Flash and its officla updates just yet. I don't see much gain on Jelly Bean at this moment. If I decide not to upgrade now, will I be able in the future? Will I be prompted again? I don't want to root my device.

Keep denying it. Although you make absolutely no sense as to why you wouldn't want Jb. You can install flash and use it just the same. Also since you are upgrading its not going to magically disappear from your phone.

From what I understand OTA Updates come in cycles and have deployment dates. I don't know if that is different between different carriers, phones, or OS levels, but there was a Gingerbread update on my other phone that is no longer available OTA. So it's possible, I guess, that eventually you may not be able to get it at all.

Actually, I just remembered that if you flash a custom Recovery that's one way of ensuring you won't be upgraded to JB automatically as that process requires a stock recovery.

Take the update. Its well worth it.
Just install the flash apk
Project butter... I still love my iPhone, but I honestly believe my jelly beans running gnex is smoother. Project butter is amazing.

Flash will remain on your phone if you already have it. Speaking of Flash, the last update on my PC for Firefox hosed my machine and I had to go back a few versions. Sometimes no updates is a good thing.

I'd say go with JB. I only really had ICS the first hour I had the phone (Although I used ICS on my work cell).
As others said, if you already have flash installed, you'll continue to have it. There is absolutely no excuse not to upgrade to jellybean.
