On verizon here, and I am still on 4.0.2, but I see threads about 4.0.3 and 4.0.4. Are those unofficial or is my phone just missing the updates?
4.0.2 is the last officially released build for the Galaxy Nexus.
4.0.3 has been released to some devices (not any version of the GN), and as it is part of the official source code base available, is the base for pretty much any actively developed ROM.
4.0.4 is a "leaked" OTA update. The full verizon OTA installer package can be downloaded from google's servers but is not available as source code, so the only ROMs done with it involve modifying that package.

Nailed it!
OP, I realize you may want to get the update, but you're not alone. Everyone else who hasn't rooted is still on 4.0.2 as well.

Hi community!
I got my GSM SGN last friday and i've been having one hell of a time playing with my new device. Of course, rooted, cwm, and some mods/themes/etc. I can't help to notice that some of the threads have screenshots of SGN with 4.0.3, but my device still runs on 4.0.2 . Am I doing something wrong or has the update not come to me specifically, yet, because i'm so special
4.0.3 hasn't been officially pushed to the SGN by Google/Samsung/carriers, but Google has finished and released 4.0.3 and published it to the AOSP (Android Open Source Project). Devs have made their own 4.0.3 releases using that

I had a brain fart. I realized I flashed a ROM that is 4.0.2 so DUH it's going to say 4.0.2 on the phone. Lulz, thank's for your help
I am still on the stock radio 4.0.2 and was considering going to 4.0.4. I am pretty sure that it is a leak just like 4.0.3 was.
My question is how and when are official radios released? Do they come packaged in with ota updates? Are they released by Google? And lastly is the 4.0.4 radio an official release or a leak?
Thanks!

If they're part of an OTA update then they become official I guess; however, the radios that are always floating around are proper radios that you can use. Just make sure you're flashing the correct one (LTE / GSM).
4.0.4 is a leak but it's official. (If yet, in theory, not a final "product").
Hi guys,
I'm hoping you can de-mystify this for me.
I got a Galaxy Nexus in December and I decided to root and do all the good things you can with these devices. When I saw updates starting to roll out, I flashed a stock 4.02 image for my device. So I'm not not rooted and my bootloader is locked again.
I see people discussing 4.0.3, 4.0.4 and even 4.0.5 recently. Can somebody exactly WHAT is officially available from Google with regards updates for GSM devices? Is it still stuck at 4.0.2?
4.0.2 is the current release for the GSM handsets
4.0.3 is available as source and people have built ROMs using this source code
4.0.4 would appear to be the next release for the Verizon (CDMA) Nexus but it hasn't been properly pushed out so far
4.0.5 is the rumoured next release in March for the GSM handsets

Thanks for that Eddy.....however I have another leading question then.
What that seems to suggest is that 4.0.3 is available as source but Google won't be releasing it OTA as 4.0.5 is en route? Will that be OTA?
My general rule of thumb has been if it's OTA, it's officially working on Gnex's.
I'm unlocked and rooted and running stock 4.0.2 with ICL53F build. (CDMA Verizon)
Where does the 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 come from if Verizon has not released it? Leaks or from the GSM side?
Is there a thread that has all the versions and builds listed? I could not find it. If not can someone list them here please. I'd like to know the basics before tinkering.
People have built 4.0.3 ROMs from the updated source tree. They have built 4.0.4 ROMs because there was a leaked 4.0.4 OTA that was posted.
4.0.2 is the latest OTA for CDMA and GSM.
Hey all,
I read that a few days ago, Google released the official binary code for jelly bean for verizon phones.
What terms should I be looking for to make sure that the new rom I decide on will make use of (and be built from) the new, proper code for the CDMA binary code for Jelly Bean?
Thanks,
Matt!

When Jelly Bean code was released in AOSP originally they released proprietary binaries. The new binaries just bring those binaries, whatever changes they might have, up with the current build number of Jelly Bean source. The blobs they didn't have license to release (mostly affecting camera and GPS) still haven't been added and need to be extracted from a released Jelly Bean image.
So mostly versions of the same released proprietary blobs for us, that was what they announced.
Thanks, I guess I'm just waiting to see in official release from one of the well-known ROM producers....like those unicorn people, lol. It seems that everything is unofficial as of yet
