My device shows ITL41F under "Build number". Can I install 4.0.2 (ICL53F) provided by this link ?

oh wow... my phone is yakjuzs...guess im screwed..
Not at all, just unlock the bootloader and flash the yakju images from the link you posted before (and search next time as it's been asked)

You don't have to unlock either.. There is a post somewhere where you can download the factory image for 4.0.1 and upgrade through ota.

Hi Herman....If you know the url of that post that'd be great. I've always thought that the only way to flash images was to unlock bootloader and use fastboot/adb.

Says here is you're not unlocked you can't update it manually:

You could use ODIN to flash without being unlocked I think but you'll also lose most if not all data

As EddyOS stated earlier, if you use odin (which is what the link you referenced is suggesting), you will wipe your device anyway. There is no difference between doing it that way, or unlocking -> using fastboot -> and relocking*, except that you will get ITL41F using odin and update via OTA to ICL53F, versus getting ICL53F immediately using fastboot.
*P.S. I would highly recommend that you do NOT relock your bootloader, as it will save you many hassles in the future. (And besides, it is relockable whenever you want...)
This is really confusing. Fastboot, CMW, odin...What are these ? Is there a SUPER noob friendly post which will guide me from the veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyyy start on how to place a yakju build on my GNexus ? I'm a complete noob (0% knowledge when it comes to android).
You don't need a yakju build to receive an update.. and look in the dev section for guides.

I replied to you in the other thread with instructions for you. You are getting confused because there are many ways to flash a ROM, and you are not taking the time to read up and find out which one would be the easiest for you...

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

Yup, the MTP is ticked.
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:
Thanks for the help guys.
When you flashed to yakju, did you also flash the proper radio and bootloader?

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!

It doesn't. If you've got an unlocked bootloader, just flash the radio via Fastboot.

Hey guys I just traded my s2 for the nexus and im loving it! Couple quick questions I was wondering I am on 4.0.2 and I wanna go to JB and theres no OTA update my phone is a unlocked GSM Nexus People are saying certain models get updated by samsung and others by google and they can be converted etc.. how do I find this out and how would I convert it?
thx everyone
-Kevin
Tired of writing this same response for the last 6 months so I'll give you the short version:
"takju" (from Play Store originally) and "yakju" (originally sold in the UK and W Europe) models are updated directly by Google.
All other models GSM models (yakjuxw, yakjujp, etc.) are updated by Samsung (slower).
Any GSM model can be changed from yakju** to takju. You'll remain "stock", and won't be rooted or modified in any way.
If you want to flash your phone to takju and receive OTAs from here on out, use this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895

Its not confusing. Not to be rude, but if you can't follow a simple tutorial and type a few commands, you should not be modifying your phone. Don't rely on a toolkit to do the work for you. You'll be better off for knowing how to do it yourself.

If you didn't flash the bootloader radio and recovery (ones marked "optional" in guide), the OTA won't install. Unless you actually did install them and you don't know.

Check the stickies section. I think mskip or efrant have a thread with exactly the information you need. I'm almost certain that you can change between Takju and Yakju. Make sure you read and understand everything Before you start though. I'm on mobile or I'd stick a link in here for you.

Yes. If you read the thread I linked to, you'll find that there's no need to root, as the 4.2 image will take away your root. You'll need to apply root again after the flash
