Hey guys, great forum! Grateful for all the support we have here. I have a question that I hop can be answered it has to do with updates for the GNex.
So basically, I bought the Nexus with Rogers in Canada and its a great device. I went to go and check the version and it was still on 4.0.1. I rooted it and then unrooted for personal reasons, the unroot brought me to 4.0.2 because thats the file that the unrooting program had, the phone is completely stock, bootloader locked.
After this, I heard about Yakju and Yakjuux and that Yakju gets updates from Google while Yakjuux gets them from Samsung. So I proceeded to check which one mine was, I used an app called GN Official Update and it told me I am Yakju.
So why am I not getting any updates past 4.0.2? Is it because the unroot process brought me to 4.0.2? Is it because those updates have been pulled for now? I dont think me being with rogers would have an effect but if it does please tell me!
If it helps: Baseband is I9250
Kernel is stock 3.0.0-gaaa2611
[email protected]#1 and the
build is ICL53F
Thanks for any help guys!
4.0.2 is the current official update out now.

You aren't receiving any more OTA updates because there haven't been any
Oh ok, so one more question, then how come when I was on 4.0.1 I never got an update? is that because when i rooted/unlocked bootloader and unrooted thus bringing me to 4.0.2 it somehow brought me to Jakju? I dont get it!
If you're relying on OTAs, 4.0.2 is the latest available.

How long did you have the phone before you rooted it to 4.0.2? Also, it's very possible when you flashed 4.0.2 you switched to yakju I believe. Either way, I wouldn't worry too much about it. Normally when there is a new OTA update, you can find it posted here before it rolls out to your phone.

Just to clear something up, I rooted while on 4.0.1. I unrooted and the file that was there for unrooting was 4.0.2 (wugfresh's tookit). So It WAS possible that when that file was flashed to go back to stock, It changed the updates from Yakjuux(Samsung) to Jakju(GOOGLE) ?

To my knowledge, yes that's right. Someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong though.

A few points:
1) No one knows for sure who updates any of the non-yakju builds, whether yakjuux, or whatever else. And if anyone (including that app you were referring to that you used, which is not "official" by the way) tells you otherwise they are just speculating. All we know is that OTA updates for ALL builds come from Google's servers.
2) Rooting has NO impact whatsoever on you receiving or not receiving the OTA update.
3) The reason you went from 4.0.1 to 4.0.2 is because you were running yakjuux 4.0.1 (which ONLY RECENTLY received the OTA update to 4.0.2, and not all yakjuux devices have been updated yet), and when you "unrooted", you didn't really "unroot" your yakjuux 4.0.1 build. That toolkit just flashed the yakju version of 4.0.2 over your yakjuux 4.0.1 build.
4) It is yakju, not jukju
5) This thread should have been posted in the Q&A subforum, not General.
6) The latest official build for yakju is ICL53F (4.0.2). 4.0.3 is available via AOSP.

Don't confuse OTA updates with AOSP support.

First, 4.0.2 is the latest version for the GSM GNex, right?
I thought it was... anyway. I got my phone yesterday and unloced the bootloader and rooted, but didn't install CWM or do anything else that actually required root. The phone did apply an OTA update, but I don't remember if it was before or after I rooted.
Anyway, it is now saying 4.0.1 and 'check for updates doesn't find anything'.
...so, that's wrong, isn't it? Any idea why? I thought rooting didn't mess with OTA (unless you start messing with things too much, of course).
Thanks in advance!
Oh, and it is yakju.
No only updated builds of 4.0.1 have been pushed to the GSM version.
4.0.2 was for the Verizon version.
Ah ha!
Thanks guys!
Just thought I'd mention that I am on a GSM GN and got asked to update to 4.0.2. today. There is a thread in general about it. I took screenshot too. But the update didn't apply right. I downloaded it and hit install and restart but nothing happened. hmmm...
Maybe I was offered it by mistake...
The thread is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1395047
Given that JBQ posted factory images of 4.0.2 for the Maguro/Tuna build I think it's safe to say it's going to OTA. Multiple GSM owners have received the update notification.
Updates roll out SLOWLY and are flagged by IMEI. If your IMEI isn't flagged to get the update yet there is no number of checkins that will prompt you to download it. Normally updates have rolled out over a few weeks. This process was explained by someone at Google a while back. The OTA goes to a small group during which time they can ensure that it isn't causing issues. If that goes well it's expanded to a larger group and then subsequently all devices as it scales up.
GSM version has 4.0.2 update, but not pushed over.
i have manually downloaded the stock image from google and manualy flash it.
i am now running 4.0.2
http://code.google.com/android/nexus/images.html
what i did was,
backup my system (just incase).
Factory Images "yakju" for Galaxy Nexus "maguro" (GSM/HSPA+)
(all file extract from the 4.0.2 (ICL53F) image)
flash bootloader
flash radio
flash recovery
flash system
and reboot, and presto. you are on 4.0.2.
my experience, this does not remove all your data.
just similar to a upgrade for me.
a side note. i am running everything stock..
how can i return to yakjuxw if i flash yakju using odin!
i thought i wil get an ota for 4.0.2 but nothing so i want to return to yakjuxw the same way i did for the yakju! where can i find an odin firmware yakjuxw?
I am afraid you can't. For now. There is no yakjuxw image on Google that I know of. Even the 4.0.2 was pulled from the binaries of the "Nexus Phones and Flagship Devices" page. I can not put links yet, because I am new on XDA.
I have the yakjuxw and got the volume fix today, so I am on the path! I won't flash the yakju yet, because no one that I know of got the 4.0.2 after flashing yakju 4.0.1, and because no one knows for sure the future side effects of this action, even the google engineer Jean-Baptiste Queru do not know much yet.
Do not worry, I think you won't have any problems. Fortunately, Galaxy Nexus is a dev phone!
obs. English is not my native language.
You would need to find someone using yakjuxw to perform a system dump of that ROM so you can flash it. In my opinion you are better off sticking with yakju. Google has pulled 4.0.2 from their servers and no one is receiving that update now. Google will most likely just release 4.0.3 soon for everyone instead. If you really want 4.0.2, you can download it from google code and flash it with fast boot. Like I said, your better off sticking with yakju since it will be updated first and moving back to yakjuxw won't get you 4.0.2 so there will be no point.

+1 on this one.
Here is a link for the Google Nexus Images though if you decide to manually update to 4.0.2:

As title.
Post here if you received the 4.0.2 recently.
Can you tell us if this "new" 4.0.2 supports the USB Host feature?
How are we suppose to tell which 4.0.2 we have?

take a look at the build.
the "old" one should be ICL53F but I don't think that there is a new one or an old one.
I think that every 4.0.2 will be the same ICL53F.
I hope that someone who received the 4.0.2 today can confirm that he received the ICL53F.
I did a complete factory fastboot restore of 4.0.1 today and got the OTA 4.0.2 delivered a few minutes later, so I guess I have it. How do I test USB host feature? And it is ICL53F

If you do not install it, you certainly will not be able to install future OTA updates...
i got the image but when I hit update, i got the icon of an open green android with a red triangle indicating an error. is this because my 4.0.1 is bootloader unlocked/rooted with CMW installed?
got it in NYC I'm on T-Mobile.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
No update for me here in NYC. I have the UK yakju version on AT&T.
I still don't understand they're not releasing 4.0.3. Many times better than 4.0.2 with great battery life, amazing performance and not a single reboot! My Nexus felt laggy and unstable before 4.0.3...
Do you guys feel that 4.0.1 is better than 4.0.2? If so, I will hold off on updating until 4.0.3 or better rolls out...

It is because you have CWM installed, not because your bootloader is unlocked. But it doesn't really matter. Look for a thread in the general section started by me that gives you a step-by-step on how to install an OTA with CWM.

I wonder why they delayed this update and if they made any slight changes?
I would assume they havnt since the build is exactly the same, just seems weird that it was delayed.
hopefully 4.0.3 isnt far away now
I just bought the phone yesterday from Verizon. It's all stock. I'm running 4.0.2, but I was wondering if 4.0.4 is out for everyone? I haven't received any update about it on the phone. Checking for updates just says I'm up to date. Do I need to manually update it, or just wait for it to hit me? How long should I wait?
If I decide not to wait, I have to unlock and root my phone, correct? And then download and install 4.0.4 (IMM76I) "yakju" from Goggle's Nexus factory images page? or do I need "mysid IMM76K from ICL53F" for toro from the "Official Google OTA Update URLs" thread on these forums?
I'm just concerned because I ran into some battery issues already (phone was completely dead when I woke up this morning. was at 90% when I went to bed. About 7 or 8 hours) and I read 4.0.4 fixes some of the battery issues. I've also changed some settings to limit battery draining. I believe it's working.
Root and Unlock using GNex TOOLKIT V6.1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392310
then install a custom rom should also fix your battery issue
4.0.2 its really buggy.. If you are rooted and unlocked try some custom rom?
Stock 4.0.4 has loads of improvement, great battery, great performance, camera quality fix, etc..
If you want stock image, download from Google official site and flash it via fastboot, and then reroot

No, I'm not rooted or anything at all. I planned to root later when I got use the phone. I'm pretty new to this root stuff, but want to explore it. I've already been doing lots of research.
But it seems the vote is to go ahead and unlock, root, get 4.0.4 and get a custom rom/kernel. lol Instead of waiting to get the 4.0.4 through Verizon, I should get it myself manually. I was wondering if I should just wait or not.
Is yakju the version I want or toro?

Thank you! I just have another question before I decide to flash 4.0.4 to my device.
4.0.4 was pulled from google servers, but is available at Random Phantasmagoria. Though, RP says it's not recommended to flash the 4.0.4 IMM76K update. Would you agree? I haven't seen anyone say that version has given problems with all the reading I've done, so I imagine it's fine. Just double checking. I think most people have to be on 4.0.3 or 4.0.4 to get certain kernels and such to work.

Well I was using the IMM76K version til yesterday with CM9 and it was fine, its been upgraded to IMM76I in the latest nightly.
All kernels work with 4.0.3/4.0.4
I don't think you'll have any problems as long as you download the right firmware for your model. Don't flash the GSM firmware on a cdma phone.

I agree with what Azlan96 posted. I received the 4.0.4 update last week and to add insult to injury, when you look at the Kernal Version in the Settings/About phone screen, it shows that the kernel was available in MARCH! Why did it take so long for Samsung to get it to us?!
I like others purchased this phone off of a dailysteals sale earlier in the year and also have a yakjuxw device. I couldn't stomach the fact that we have Google's flagship phone, but are kept under hostage by Samsung. Yesterday I unlocked the bootloader using the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit by following the steps in this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392310) and flashed the stock yakju image.
I'm a n00b at this stuff but Mark Skippen did an excellent job creating that toolkit and making it easy for anyone to do it. I had the bootloader unlocked in 20 minutes (the majority of the time is downloading the image files) and received the 4.1.1 OTA once I logged back into my google account.
My device is now converted to the google yakju version and on jelly bean. I also have the peace of mind that future updates will be coming from google, and not Samsung.
I also converted to yakju from yakjuxw here on my australian galaxy nexus ,best decision I ever made an now i'm on official 4.1.1 jellybean an will always get updates as soon as google releases them, its as easy as unlocking boot loader an flashing stock yakju.Don't listen to stupid carriers like vodafone telling you bs excuses as to why you have to wait for updates because they don't have a clue, their customer support don't know the first thing about android an how it works.

Like others said, you can convert from yakjuux to yakju or takju to get the latest update from google. I have 2 Gnex and both was on yakjuux, and made the switch. For the first time in my life i flashed my phones, and it really wasn't hard at all. Trust me it is WORTH the effort!

My Nexus had originally "Yakjuxw" 4.0.1 - 4.0.2 and I didn't want to use anymore the 4.0.2 so I flashed other bootloader + radio baseband and then Jelly Bean 4.1 "takju" which updated to 4.1.1 and I'm happy with it.. (then yakjuxw got the 4.0.4 update)
Takju is much better than yakju and yakjuxw builds.. :d

Converting your phone will certainly wipe ALL your device (including internal memory), so make a backup. You only need how to enter fastboot mode (turn it on while pressing Vol up + Vol Down). Follow these steps:
1. Dowload the toolkit that's in sticky in the Android Dev section. Install the drivers there (option 1).
2. Unlock the bootloader. (option 3 I believe).
3. Enter the section to download factory google images. Download YAKJU or TAKJU 4.0.4 (the latter if you want google wallet).
4. Flash that image you downloaded.
5. Reboot and wait for OTA.
If you don't want to wait, you can download the OTA zip file, place it in the internal memory and use the toolkit to boot in CWM and flash it from there.
Cheers!

Please HELP ME
Hi,
My buildinfos reports that my phone is yakjuxw / maguro: 4.0.4 / IMM76K.
According to the options available in the GN toolkit, my phone's build (IMM76K) is in the section CDMA / LTE (MYSID / TORO). How is this possible, my buildinfos reports that the hardware is a maguro, but my phone build's is in the "mysid section" (GN toolkit)?
I do not know what to do. I want to upgrade my phone to YAKJU, but YAKJU is in "section GSM (maguro)" and my phone's build is CDMA / LTE (mysid).
Can anyone help me?
