I forget the yshkxklchzl whatever it is name, but I've checked out the Dev section and all I see are ROMs
I like vanilla - wondering if there's update.zip files out there for 4.0.2 or better. I'm unlocked and rooted - I have the OS that updates via Samsung not Google.
Thanks
dang, thought we'd have those cool update.zip releases just like on my old Nexus One!
guess not??
There are no official updates more recent than 4.0.2. You can follow the instructions in this thread to change your phone to yakju (updates from Google) and install the latest official 4.0.2.
I'm actually looking for 4.0.2 ... it's out for my version but I don't see it posted anywhere...
If you're talking about that Android Central article about the Bell update, they never verified if it was correct and assumed the user that emailed them knew what he was talking about. NOBODY with yakjuux has received 4.0.2 or has been able to confirm they also got the update.
oh boooooooooooooo yeah that's what I was referring to I thought yakjuux would have gotten updated by now.
not that i'm complaining, 4.0.1 is great. Just heard a few minor speed/battery improvements were coming so....

to hopefully decrease the number of posts from members in the coming days about the new OTA that Sprint/HTC released today (but will not officially "push" to devices until January 24,) I would like to point out some things to new members as well as veterans, as we see this happen every time a new OTA is pushed.
1. Number one rule, and i will cap this DO NOT ACCEPT A OTA UPDATE IF YOU ARE ROOTED. it has been said many many times here, and members with rooted phones do it anyways. why risk it???? we all saw the gingerbread debacle last year.
2. New HBoot. it seems the new ota update has a new h-boot, 2.18, and from what it seems and this may remain to be seen 100% it is not unlockable with revolutionary. i can not confirm this personally.
3. New Radios. seems the baseband /radio has been updated. we eagerly await caulkin to possibly update his posts with the new updates.
edit: seems new radios have been posted in his thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...postcount=3214
4. Why the update? The big part of this update was to remove CIQ from the evo's. yay. There were small improvements to Peep (the htc twitter client) and other various fixes.
5. So when will my favorite rom be updated to the OTA base? well, we already have a stock rom based on the ota (actually 2!) , it is located here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1455340
so this is a start. your favorite rom will be updated by it's developer when the dev has time, last update we had (4.54) we saw a rapid update of roms.
6. Great, so has sense changed at all? No we are still at sense 1.0 sigh.
7. so how about the new kernel? it is now based on htc 2.6.35.10 dated december 21, 20011. Captain_Throwback has extracted the kernel standalone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...postcount=3214
7a. What "hacks" work with the the new stock rom you posted? from what I have read, none of them, although people are still flashing/testing.
8. i have a question!! well use the search function and see if it has been answered, look here, the general threads, or the dev threads. I hope this will clear down some of the clutter that comes up during this wonderful thing called an OTA update.
so I called Verizon Wireless today to complain about my phone..
me - my phone reboots on it's own, when are we suppose to get update for it already? isn't that a google phone and we suppose to get updates directly from google? and what's the hold up anyway?
verizon - updates will come from samsung and not google and we have no information on that
me - maybe you can contact samsung on my behalf and inquire about update?
verizon - ok, please hold ...
few minutes passes by...
verizon - thank you for holding blah blah blah, i just got off the phone from samsung they said check samsung website regularly, they'll announce it there, by that time your phone will receive update.
what a waste of time!
You were fed a total line. Your phone's version of Android is "mysid" which is directly updated by Google. However all updates do need final approval from Verizon.
In fact, to verify this yourself, download the free "GN Official Update Checker" from the marketplace (I refuse to say "google play store" fttb) and run it.

That "official" update checker is nothing more than a user-created app that checks if your device is running yakju or mysid and, if so tells you your device is updated by Google, and if on another build, it says its not updated by Google. Not even close to being official.
No one knows if non-yakju or non-mysid builds are updated by Google or not. It is just speculation. What we do know is that all updates for ALL builds are pushed from Google's servers.

i just wish they push update already, so that everyone is start being really happy with that phone, my co-worker just updated his to 4.0.4 and extremely happy with it now, which is great! if by end of this month they wont release anything i'm going to update "leaked" version of 4.0.4 myself!

what's the difference between one and another?
@efrant: Well, I never said it was the official update checker either, only that it was named the "GN official update checker"
However, its author does keep up with the official status as shown on the androidcentral writeup here (note what it says about mysid in the photo and the clarification posted later).
@OP once you've checked your build with the above app, feel free to find the actual official answer to your question from Jean-Baptiste Queru who is a Software Engineer at Google's Android Open-Source Project.
A link to his answer on Google groups is located here
@efrant: Hopefully this is official enough for you too. At least the AOSP status is being confirmed for yakju and mysid and the supposition by Jean is that this implies direct updates too.

yakju is the official GSM build for the GNex. Its variants are yakjuXX where XX is two additional lowercase characters.
mysid is the official LTE build for the GNex. I don't believe it has variants.

I think there is some confusion here between AOSP support and who updates different builds. JBQ hasn't said anything about who updates any of the builds. And there is nothing official about status shown in that androidcentral article. Like I said, at this point, it is speculation -- no one can say that just because yakju and mysid have AOSP support, that they are the only builds updated by Google.
I'm not trying to be a pain here, but right from the launch, people were making comments about the different builds based purely on assumption, speculation and inference. Case in point: an app was created telling people their device is updated by Google or not updated by Google. But the truth is no one knows. Every OTA update is pushed from Google -- this is all we know for certain about the updates. AOSP is a different topic.

Hi
I purchased my Galaxy Nexus when it first launched back in November from Handtec, the current firmware on my device is version 4.0.2. But for some reason it does not get the notification for OTA updates. I understand from reading the forums that the current version is 4.0.4 and that was pushed over two weeks ago. My device has not gotten the notification to update, I tried the framework suggestion that was suggested on another thread but I got no result I also tried the "check in" code and had no luck. My current carrier is AT&T, is my Nexus defective? Can somebody please help?
Thank you

If your phone is anything but yakju then your in for a wait. Also the 4.0.4 roll out has stopped until google fixes the signal issues some people have.
How can I identify if my phone is a yakju ?

Dude please read a bit. This exact thread exists every single day of the last week.
Check your version with this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.cbruegg.officialupdate
But the thing is that even if it is "yakju" (updated by Google). The 4.0.4 update has been stopped because it causes radio-related signal drop issues for some users. They recently issued a small 4.0.4 "fix" for it. Once things are sorted out, presumably 4.0.2 users will get moved straight up to the latest 4.0.4.
I'm not new to Android, just knew to the Galaxy Nexus/Stock Android World. I ordered one from NewEgg before learning many are receiving unlocked DoCoMo units, not true factory unlocked i9250's. Made a bit nervous!
Got it in yesterday and luckily the sticker in the battery cavity says i9250 and IMEI's match just fine. Once signed into the phone I received an OTA update to 4.0.2.
However, the update said this was an update direct from Samsung, not Google? So my question is, is that normal or do I have a Samsung build and not the Google Yakju build?
I'm honestly not sure how you know if you have Yakju or not. Here is what I have under "About Phone"
Model Number
Galaxy nexus
Android version
4.0.2
Baseband version
I9250XXKK6
Kernel version
3.0.8-gaaa2611
[email protected] #1
Build number

Thanks in advance!
Check your build.prop, that'll tell you if you have yakju or not
there is an app in the market to detect which device build u have

Install GN Official Update Checker or Android System Info. You will be able to check it.
Thanks for the help!
Still stuck on the 4.0.2. Been swapped with work and life and finally found out my device is a yakjuXW. Meaning, it gets updated by Samsung. With the soon to be Jelly Bean OTA, I have to change this.
I'm posting this because I didn't see anybody with this build yet...
Okay, so here is my story, like most of you, I was pretty frustrated that my stock build wasn't getting ICS, I was running 2.007.04_EMEA_GB. First off I wasn't sure if the EMEA_GB version is designed for Canada (since I bought my A100 off of someone from Craigslist). I took many backups of my system by using the DD commands before trying the leaked versions of ICS that were posted by Vache, starting in March. When 14 was out, I loaded it up but really didn't think it was the "official" firmware, as there were still a few lingering issues with the ICS build, so I went back to HC (using the Gen2 HC full update package) rooted it, then and reimaged all of the partitions with the old DD images I kept from the original firmware that shipped with my device.
ICS was supposed to have been released yesterday, and I had in my mind from March that I was going to have ICS from Acer as my birthday present... and Today is my birthday (haha) so I had to make it happen! I didn't want that v14 on there, and I had read in a different thread that an A100 actually had a build 15 on it, which sort of verified hypothesis that v14 might not be the official firmware, so I went ahead and flashed the original GEN1 stock Honeycomb rom, Acer_A100_1.014.08_COM_GEN1 : http://vache-android.com/v1/download.php?fileID=109 .
Once that was flashed, (with a data reset) I immediatley tried to run an update check but it told me that the device was up to date (haha what a lie). Since this was about 2am and I was supposed to be sleeping, I let it sit for about an hour before trying the update check again. The device had 4 updates in total, after the second update, it changed to a PA_CA release, then before the 4th update came in, the update wizard warned me that Kobo and Adobe Flash wasn't part of the system, but could be downloaded. I figured this was the ICS update, and I wasn't wrong. Once everything was done updating (at about 3:30, the Acer update servers were really fast at that point LOL) I checked the system version and found that I was on v17_PA_CA. Attached is my screenshot.
After running this version for ~8 hours, I havent had any freezing, menu transitions are very smooth, no touchscreen bugs yet either. This build feels like it is a perfect match for my hardware. Also, it looks like the battery life is better, but only time will tell on it.
I have attached a screenshot of the build that I'm on as well, just in case anyone has any questions. It's really possible that since I used the original firmware that it checked in to the acer servers as a new device and it should send me all the updates in one shot.

I was on 3.2.1 COM_GEN2, and couldn't upgrade, so went back to 3.2 GEN1 from there going a similar path as you did: 4 updates, and the last being PA_CA. I that time I though "almost there", but found I no longer have spanish language as an option
My first impression: ICS is faster and better looking. But,
Do you know where can I download a language patch to it?
on a side note...fellow rogers user...you jumpin on the one x ?? i just ordered mine

Hehe cool, when it comes to phones, I need a keyboard, so I actually picked up a bell Moto xt860 and unlocked it. I might be stuck with this one for a while since I hear keyboard android phones don't sell as well as blackberries up here. We will see what happens to RIM...
My other goal is not to sign another contract again, and I have a really sweet deal with Rogers now also...

It really looks like PA_CA is geared towards Canada, with only English, French and Chineese (simplified and traditional). I don't know another way of pulling another language, unless you can grab them from the WW 014 package somehow... let me look at it

acer have a bug in service
Isn't possible flash directly Acer_A100_AV041_1.014.00_COM_GEN1 ? (to gets languages)
This is the third post today I have read someone say that the build 14 is not official. I have myself and numerous other people received this update OTA from Acer. Unless Acer is beta testing on our devices, you can't call it anything but official. It is the exact same rom ZN posted.
