I am sorry to hear that you are having issues due to the poor radio soft/hardware.
But, I am afraid the responses here will most likely be negative.
1) You will hear that you posted / complained about the "bad radio" for the 1000th time redundantly.
2) You will also hear from users who are lucky enough to not have any radio issues to tell you that it is user error (ie, you are the problem not the phone. Somewhat kinder users will tell you to try different ROMs or radios as well which probably won't solve the problem right now)
3) You will also hear from some of us to call VZW and get a refurbished replacement until you get one that is problem free.
All in all, I hear you. Every time when VZW tell me to wait for the most amazing update ever in the history of mankind to resolve all these issues since 4 months ago, I start to laugh..
we are supposed to see an update this month (pure speculation). however...
4.0.4 did just hit the repo, and it includes new broadcomm drivers (https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/android-building/YoBlTfntDvo). Im sure one or all of the custom rom devs will pick this up and create/update their rom...

only google/samsung can compile radio/basebands... devs cannot update radio/basebands.
at most devs can just update their base to Android 4.0.4.
if anything, you'll have to wait for the official 4.0.4 OTA to come out for the GSM Galaxy Nexus.... download the OTA and snatch radio.img from the zip and fastboot flash it or create a flashable zip when OTA is posted.
drivers are here: http://code.google.com/android/nexus/drivers.html#maguro
edit: 4.0.4 rollout is ongoing now.
I remember something about clearing the cache for the downloads app, don't quote me on that.

People cannot compile their own radio/basebands. I have been using a Android device since its first phone, G1. I have YET to see anyone compile their own radios, these are closed source.
What JBQ was talking about was NOT radio source.
Toro source/files and propetary files = LTE Galaxy Nexus.
mysid factory images = google stock images (RADIOS will also be in this file... but not the source, only the fastboot flash file)

You didn't even state ANYTHING about radio source. Radio source is NEVER NEVER NEVER provided by Google or any manufacturers, always closed source. You were only asking for the Verizon Galaxy Nexus LTE "source" as in drivers. Which is already provided on the Galaxy Nexus (and other devices).
To the OP, yes a new radio will be provided. Someone will create a flashable zip. Alternatively, you can snatch the radio.img from the 4.0.4 zip as soon as it becomes available.

Radio standalones are never downloadable from code.google. They come packaged in the factory images. But at that point, if you just want the radio. You might as well wait for a flashable zip to appear on the dev forums or just the radio IMG itself.
You came in this thread talking about "toro" when no one even mentioned toro (Galaxy Nexus LTE) in this thread. It was strictly about radio/basebands and 4.0.4 just came out. OP may have LTE or GSM, who knows. He never specified. But everybody else in the thread assumed GSM as the GSM OTA just rolled out.

Right, that's exactly why you can DOWNLOAD THE GSM RADIOS RIGHT NOW FOR 4.04 ON THAT SITE YOU JUST POSTED. You sir, are a complete moron. I was referring to the fact that you don't have to pull the radios out of the OTA, which is unnecessary when Google is posting them up.

Yeah.. anyone who's honest with themselves and actually know about phone quality and radio signal would know that samsung makes the worst internal radios from all carriers i believe after testing. I tell verizon folsk about this signal strength and they say *o did you try to get a different phone*? well yeah but that's not the issue.. IT'S THE PHONE BUILD.. the radio isn't strong.. now unless they come out with a new baseband radio for verizon LTE that blows me away, I'll take it back and apologize for embarrassing myself but how is it that the thunderbolt and Rezound (both HTC) can hold a 4g signal in weak coverage areas and the galaxy nexus can hardly get 3g....

That's the RIL driver package. The Radio Interface Layer is what sits between the Android Telephony subsystem and the actual baseband firmware. It is not a radio firmware. At all. They REALLY have to be pulled from the OTA. Check your facts before insulting other people.

What G0belet said, this is what I've been trying to say the whole time. If you downloaded the file it is a .sh file. Not a .img file that is flashed via fastboot in the bootloader.
So yes the OP will wait until the OTA for 4.0.4 (or factory images for mysid) is actually released so people then can post the fastboot image for the radio and then make it into a flashable zip.

Thank you for confirming! And if anybody actually took the time to get that .sh file, trim the script at the beginning of the file, rename to .tar.gz, and extract the data, they'd see that it's just libsec-ril.so and a couple of other files I forgot about that bore a variation of that filename.

I'll wait to flash a new radio. I'm sure it will be extracted and uploaded here soon.
I am so tempted to run the new OTA, but I would want quick access to an XTC clip to unlock my bootloader in case anything went as VZW planned.
As in VZW would rather we keep our bootloader locked.
Any one see the Red DInc II avail any more.
Looks like we got the limited edition of the RED Droid Incredible 2.
It's so funny that the Vortex is still going for $79.

As in VZW tries to pedal cheap junk for more than it's worth.
Yeah, I am hopeful that we get a flashable zip of the radio. Don't forget to check the MD5 sum & have a good flash (when it becomes available).

bootloader-maguro-primekl01
If anybody's interested here's the PRIMEKL01 bootloader, latest version.
It's the same LTE/CDMA leaked version that's floating around, nothing changed as both devices share the same bootloader, as far as I can tell.
It's recommended by Google for those who are on 4.0.3 roms with same XXKK06 radio. I've flashed it running Mike's ARHD 2.1.2 and even though it's not a 4.0.3 rom it's working perfectly.
Inside the zip I've included fastboot for Windows for easy flashing.
Put your phone into fastboot mode and execute the fastboot-windows.bat file.
If you have any problems with it just flash back to the previous version.

Would someone mind giving a little more detailed instruction on how to do this? Sorry, but I'm just not that familiar with fastboot. Besides, I'm sure I'm asking something a lot of folks are afraid to ask.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
It's very easy.
1. Put the phone in fastboot mode: pull battery, then reinsert it and press vol up+vol down+power. The phone will boot with a green Android and some white text in the lower left. This is fastboot.
2. Plug in your phone to the PC, and install fastboot drivers if necessary.
3. Run the .bat file in the zip in the OP.

The way I read this is that for a specific version/build of Android a specific bootloader is recommended. That I can totally relate to.
I can also see how a specific radio might be "recommended" for a specific Android-build, as that build might rely on or exploit specific radio-implementation details or optimizations.
What I don't see is any link between how flashing a radio leads to a "recommended bootloader". Sorry for being difficult, but I just don't see it.
I'll consider this flashing OCD until proven otherwise

No I agree, I've never known a specific bootloader to be a requirement for a Radio. Usually it's always the ROM itself requiring different versions due to RIL's and whatever else lies within, hence it usually always relates to the build version instead.
Just updated it last night and seems good in a short time...

Potentially! Are they comparing them to the leaked 4.0.4 radios? Doubtful since they upgraded and were presumably on 4.0.2 lol.
Either way, someone needs to find the images and make a flashable zip. I need something to do at work, nah mean?
So if I am running Liquid (4.04) will all I have to do is flash the new radios once they are available?
Sorry for the noob question. Just got my nexus last week and new to the flashing scene.

Yes. Radios are compatible with pretty much anything. They are separate from the rom, and do not even "stick" with a nandroid.

Hey,
Since Google MAY gonna release 4.1 today. Is there a way to update the firmware to 4.1 without any big problems? Or should I wait for a Nightly release?
Thanks!
I'm kind of confused about your question because there is like three directions you're asking about. First of all, if you're asking if you can update your software to 4.1 as soon as it comes out without any problems, I don't see why not. Google may post their factory images on their site, which you can download and flash via ADB. Google may also just update OTA, in which case we need to wait for a leak, then someone will post it here on XDA. Otherwise you can wait until someone cooks up a clean 4.1 rom, in which case you can flash that straight through your recovery. By "nightly" I think of CyanogenMod, which will likely take a little longer than custom roms, so you're going to have to wait a little if you want a Cyanogen 4.1-based nightly.

Hey,
Since Google MAY gonna release 4.1 today. Is there a way to update the firmware to 4.1 without any big problems? Or should I wait for a Nightly release?
Thanks!

If you're stock, just wait for the OTA notification or flash the new stock image/update file when Google posts it.
If you're on a custom ROM wait for their update or return to stock.

Google WON'T release JB today. Today is the announcement and showing what it does and so forth. Expect it in, perhaps, a couple of weeks, to be nice.

If I'm on stock 4.0.4 but rooted will the 4.1 OTA update be fine to download and install like normal an possibly restore root using voodoo ota rootkeeper or do I need to flash the whole Google image an start from scratch, I think that's what the thread is about.

Noo! I rotted my 4.0.4 and I have CM9 nightly on it.

But it gold already solved!
Thanks!!

What about the op's original question? if I'm unlocked and rooted but stock (recovery\rom etc..) will the ota download and install automatically?

depends on how much stock u are
if u used some toolkits, it (or you manually) may have flashed an unsecured boot (kernel) image to give u full root even with adb..so your kernel may be not stock anymore and u need to reflash the stock one
if u got root (only superuser app and su binary) on the stock rom, stock kernel, stock recovery, stock radio and stock bootloader (no matter if locked or unlocked)..then u are ok

The service provider has nothing to do it. Some people are ignorant and have unrealistic expectations of when we'll start seeing the JB updates.

In this case, it does. Updates for mysidpr builds (i.e., builds for toroplus devices used by Sprint) do not come directly from Google, so they will certainly come after updates for yakju/takju and mysid builds...

the problem is that there are 3 gnexus (or more??) GSM global (maguro, the international one), CDMA (toro, for Verizon) and GSM Sprint (toroplus, for sprint)
only the gsm maguro is the one receive the updates first, the otehr 2 phones may have some little delays due to operator approval
as u said, some people are ignorant..in this case u!
4.1 won't be released today.

Sorry Fabio, but as soon as the source code is released from the phone manufacturer, the devs can go to work. We don't have to wait for the provider to release the update. As per example: All three versions of the Optimus LTE (P930, SU640, and 6200) received ICS before the providers approved it. Source code leaks do happen.
If you want an official OTA update, then wait for the provider to approve it. I'm not holding my breath, especially if the device is built for use on an LTE network.

Is it VZW/Sprint? If so, it might be months until you get it.. that is if they approve of the update anyways. GSM you will get it mid july.. rooted.. you have it right now.

How can I check it? I haven't got even to 4.0.4 so it makes sense for me that I wont be updated..
If I root my phone, will my sms(which arent sycronised) deleted?and what about the rest of my information on the phone? can it damage my phone?
Rooting and flashing ROM's can damage your handset if you don't know what you're doing. Most flashing errors can be erectified though.
Where are you located in the world?
Verizon and Sprint are US based LTE handsets, they arent sold outside the states since they cant work on other LTE networks. Take a picture of your "About phone" page (screenshots can be taken with pressing "Volume down + Power" simultaniously.
Im from Israel.. so its not Verizon probably..

i dont get this update, that what makes me worry.
when I press the' check now' button it ALWAYS says:

last update checked at {this time}
Jellybean isn't officially updated yet mate. You won't get the update for at least two weeks if you have a stock phone. Those of us running it all have rooted phones or were at google i/o and got given jellybean phones.

Have you tried to clear Google framework data and the try to check for updates again?
Swiftkey'ed on my CM9 Galaxy Nexus
I understand your confusion. A Nexus phone should get the update as soon as possible.
I just updated my phone yesterday, thanks to efrant how to guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1419170&highlight=yakjuzs
the problem is so many builds, I learned that yakju build is directly supported by google. However, today I learned that the build takju got the Jellybean update. Question what about the rest, yakjuux, yakjuzs, yakjujp.....etc.? I don't know, only android team knows the update process, so I hope they post something about that in google+, but I doubt that.
We have to wait, either get it OTA(which my never happen) or flash the update manually as soon google post the update URL's specified for your phone build.
If you have quadrant standard installed you can see your build under system information.
