If you still have CWM installed, then just download this and flash it in CWM. Done.

[Q] Stock ROM 4.0.2 won't update

I have an unlocked Nexus on stock rom 4.0.2. I haven't been using for a couple of weeks. Finally I decided it's time to sell it. So I charged it up and reset to factory settings. On restart it told me that there is an update available.
Sweet! Let's do it. The phone restarts, goes into update mode and then somewhere in the middle it fails. After a minute it restarts and works ok, but the OS is still 4.0.2
This happened about a week ago. Since that time it has asked me to update 3-4 times and has failed every one of them.
Anyone can suggest me how to deal with this? I just want to upgrade it to 4.0.4 via normal way.

why bother updating when your anyways selling it
and why ru selling it by the way ?? is it buggy,faulty or something ??
i dont have my nexus with me yet but i'll can advice clearing that setting (and data if available) from settings and try checking update >> apply update
or simply screw all that manually flash 4.0.4

You have an update for which variant on which carrier???
This could be a download issues that happens. It should eventually work. But I don't know which carrier your on and also there could be OTA traffic.

If you changed kernel /radios/Stock recovery for cwm/twrp /Stock system apps the ota wont work..
If you want to flash yakju or takju(Stock factory images) follow efrant's guide

The only thing I did to that phone after unboxing it is rooting it. Nothing else has been changed.

Not sure what do you mean by that. The update just pops up saying there is a new version available. The phone was bought in Czech Republic, it is not locked to any carrier.

It won't update if you don't have stock recovery.

If you "rooted" by flashing the root files using CWM, then you need to flash back the stock recovery for the update to work.

Bought a Rooted GNEX have a Question

ok I got a real good deal on a GNEX on CL and the guy said it wasn't rooted and smart me believed him. Well from what I can tell the bootloader is unlocked, and it is rooted because I ran root checker and it has superuser and wifi tether.It does not seem to have a custom rom on it The problem I see is that it seems to have stock recovery but when I go from the bootloader screen to recovery it reboots the phone most of the time after sitting on the image of the android guy with a red triangle over him. I plan on doing the JB OTA update when it comes out . At this state I am just not sure what I should do to make my phone not mess up in the long run. I was thinking unrooting and locking the bootloadder and re flashing stock recovery would be a good idea kind of starting from scratch. Please let me know what yall think and thanks for your time oh and I am on Sprint

Yeah just Odin back to stock you should be fine. Also you'll be waiting a long time for an OTA of jelly bean at least on sprint. We already have a port of the preview OTA that the gsm version got. Only thing doesnt work is MMS for obvious reasons.

U can come back to stock recovery without any problem u can use gnex toolkit u ll be fine i guess , However JB rom available now are also awesome it works great without any problem ,except some apps yet to be updated for JB update

Stay away from toolkits. You can Fastboot flash the .img for the stock recovery boot and rom it self.

No, Odin only works on windows.
There is no need for the SDK, all you need are the fastboot and adb files for Mac.
Look at the "flash" link in my signature. It has all the instructions on how to revert you device to stock. Mac-specific instructions are linked to a little further down.

System Update 4.1.1 Failed

Hi
My phone is rooted and I have the OTA update of JB 4.1 installed . Today i got an System Update from Google and when i clicked restart and install , my phone rebooted in recovery mode of ClockworkMod, then i saw that the update has failed .
I restarted my phone and when i saw that version it is 4.1 and when i selected check for update is says my phone is up to date ?
Please let me know how can i get the update from google now ?
Thanks

??

Manually flash the OTA in the release section. You have to be on stock everything (with the exception of root and an unlocked bootloader) for the OTA to succeed i.e. you will need to have a stock recovery which by seeing that you booted into CWR, you don't have. You can simply boot into CWR rather than flash it e.g. fastboot boot NAME_OF_RECOVERY.img

Relating to flashing the stock recovery? Well you have to be on ICS to update to JB...and assuming your bootloader is already unlocked, you shouldn't lose any data when flashing the stock recovery, radio or bootloader.

I am already on JB. I got via rom from here (xda). So i will need to go back to ics. Is that it?

Jb 4.1

To start I am a newb
I Have a galaxy nexus with the 4.1 Jelly Beans ( not stock, installed via ROM from here xda). That's fine. This week a new "system" update was available for my phone. So I downloaded it and the phone reboot, when the phone starts it goes to the cwm recovery screen saying the update failed. I would like to have some HELP, I found other threads, but I really don't want to do anything worng.
My questions:
How can i get the updates to work again?
DO i need to get ICS back to update the phone?
How should i do it?
Can I do that without losing my data ( would be great, but i am ok if there is no way)
I am just afraid if i go back to ICS, and the update don't show up.

Everything must must be bone stock to install an ota.
Jellin' like a felon

The issue at hand here is that you have a custom recovery. I can't say that if you remove CWM that you'll be able to OTA update, but that's at least what was the problem there. Now, if you want to keep all your apps and update to the OTA jelly bean instead of the Google I/O preview build, you can flash this here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737849
Follow the instructions on that post to update. This is what I did and it worked perfectly.

Camera not working after JB update!
Hi! I recently installed JB on my Dad's Galaxy Nexus, whilst everything seems to work fine, I've noticed that the camera has stopped working. The screen goes blank if i access the camera. I've tried installing 3rd party applications for camera, but none of them work! Please help me! Is it a hardware or a software fault?

But going to factory reset will not remove the cwm recovery... right? If i go to factory data reset on my phone ( remember i am using a 4.1 rom) will it go back to ics and delete all roms / root? Cause this sounds like the best way to do it, but you were the first one that said that. Bought my phone from Amazon unlocked ( do you guys think it is gonna update?)

I did that, no help! I think it's a hardware fault. Thanks anyway!

PLZ, tell me!! If I do the factory reset is it gonna remove CWM, and all stuff i have installed?

You said you downloaded your ROM from here, but you didn't say which one. There was at least one (Koush's) that was an image of the stock ROM, taken from the OTA update that went out to the phones given out at Google I/O. If you have that ROM (and the corresponding radio), you can just use CWM to install the OTA update. I know this works because I did it myself.
If you really have one of the custom ROMs, your only choice is to return to stock if you want the official OTA. And yes, this will remove CWM and wipe your entire phone (including anything in /sdcard)... so backup anything you want to keep before you try this. See efrant's excellent guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895

Sorry man, I know i am not giving a lot of information, but that's cause i really don't know. I did a random "how to update your galaxy nexus to 4.1" tutorial, and i don't even remember where...... I just know the links i download were from here.
So what i am going to do:
1: Factory data reset
2: I think it's going back to ICS
3: Just do the normal system update that should just pop up.
My only fear is if the phone does not ask for update.

If you restore to stock using efrant's guide, it will be ICS since Google has not yet posted Jelly Bean firmware images. If you don't get the OTA notification or don't want to wait for it, you can just download and apply it manually (see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1419170)

No, that will just wipe data. You'll have a clean phone, but with the same ROM you currently have. The phone doesn't keep a copy of the stock firmware hidden away or anything like that. Efrant's guide is the proper way to restore everything back to stock.
