I haven't had the 4.0.2 update pushed yet, I got the phone today and I have the common volume bug, but I have no way to fix it since they don't seem to be pushing the 4.0.2 OTA update anymore...
Should I root or just wait for the next update? I'm at a loss what to do, this volume bug is ****ed up...
Otherwise this phone completely kicks ass!

True and not true at the same time.
The bug exists in 4.0.1 ITL41D
The bug is fixed in 4.0.1 ITL41F
Without the update to F you can be on 4.0.1 all you like and still have the bug.
ITL41F update aint coming through to people still stuck on ITL41D :/
I decided to give up and flash a Custom ROM, fixed all my issues.
why flash a custom rom when you could have flashed the official recovery from google here ? :/

Because I love the freedom of being root and being able to do as I please. A lot of the custom ROMs do wonders for battery life too and fix the auto brightness.
Why not? I know what I'm doing and it's ridiculously easy cuz of the unlocked bootloader. No harder than plugging it in and executing "fastboot oem unlock"!
so...first you complain about the lack of OTA and then decide to just install a custom rom anyway because you see it as better? why the hell didnt you just do that in the first place instead of creating another thread to ***** about it

How do you flash this? I am on 41D and want the latest. I am use to the SGS1 and a flashed everything through Odin or Clockwork, everything seems a lot more complicated for the Nexus

I've already answered this FYI.
Reading on Engadget (I think) or some other Android site that people are seeing the 4.04 update on their GN's. My question is, is it out yet for Verizon and if so, will I be able to do a regular update? My phone is rooted with the stock rom.
I really would prefer not to mess with roms if I can help it after long and sometimes annoying experiences with my Fascinate and Captivate. The roms were always better then stock but they were never without issues of some kind. So I'm really hoping to just stick to stock ICS rooted. Will the update show up? Will it work? Can I manually update it without installing a custom rom? Thanks
I had what I thought to be a rooted stock 402 GNex but try as I might I could not get the upgrade to 404 to work. I had to unroot, revert to stock bootloader, flash stock 402 then flash 404 update then re-root. it sounds like a lot of work but 404 is worth it. its sweet.

I had a feeling. It won't give an option to update...
I just hope if I do this that it'll give me the option. I'm also looking into roms now...
edit: stock recovery, not boot loader.

Tomorrow I'm getting my brother a GN, so I'll see if his updates out of the box. If it does, I'll do what you suggested and see if I can get a rooted stock experience.
Thanks for the reply!
If you want to keep root and custom recovery and such... You can flash this.
This is AOSP 4.0.4 but you will have root and CWM.

Nobody is seeing the 4.0.4 update on their GN's. One person has gotten it in error and uploaded it for the community to use.
You will not have anything above 4.0.2 if you stay stock. The 4.0.3 OTA has never come out, and the 4.0.4 is just a leak.
Either root and flash a 4.0.4 ROM, or keep waiting.

If you are going to flash a custom ROM, no need to update the stock ROM to 4.0.4 just to overwrite it with a custom ROM...
If you want to stay stock and update to 4.0.4, see this.
You could either download the update and install it using clockworkmod recovery or put the entire zip file in the /cache folder, choose look for updates and it will be found since you already downloaded it.

I have a rooted Galaxy S3 with stock rom.
I keep getting a pop up for a system update, but cant update.
Please tell me how to manually update, and (where) I can find the latest stock updated software

Take a look in the android dev sections to this forum. If you ever update once rooted, you should be flashing a new ROM (clean or dirty flashing) to receive the next update. Running stock ROM in between a Sammy update and while having the older ROM without the newest update will yield that result.

There are plenty of reasons for rooting but remaining stock (such as: tethering, Droid wall, Titanium Backup to allow me to backup and restore app data, removing bloat, etc).
I have flashed custom rooms in the past on my Evo but right now I am happy with my S3 at stock.

I was in the same boat at you. I put it off for a while but finally decided to update tonight. I followed the steps posted here.
You can update your baseband by flashing a properly packaged official baseband zip, or flash from recovery tool (my preference), like the one here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29820376. There are also unofficial, or leaked basebands, available to flash from all-in-one zips, such as the one here: http://goo.im/devs/freeza/Galaxy-S-fre3-LIGFirmwareModemAIO.zip.
As far as the build version goes, that does not have to match your baseband (modem). Most of the ICS ROMs are LG8, although there are some LI3 ICS ROMs to choose from. There's also a leaked build of Jellybean, builds LIF & LIG, with a third leak LIH reportedly coming out tomorrow. Once rooted, you can update your build version by flashing the ROM of your choice, based upon the build of your choice.
One of the top developers, and probably the greatest asset to this community, is freeza. He explained the difference very well here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32095775
That's a long-winded response, but I hope it answered your original question, and helps you out.
Have fun!
Edit: Once you're rooted, you'll still receive OTA update notifications, which will continually annoy you until you choose to update and reboot. Once you reboot, the update will fail because of your custom recovery (you will NOT lose root) and the notification will go away....until the next OTA...

Excuse me for my stupidity but I'm new to android. I'm also using the sprint variant of the s3 and have it rooted with stock rom. However my build number is IMM76D.L710VPALF9. I'm assuming the last 3 are the update versions. What is the current version and how do I update to it?
Also, I'm rooted with Clockwork mod 5.5.0.4. How do I upgrade this to version 6.0.1.2? Will I have to unroot then root again?
Thanks for clearing anything you can up. Don't mean to pirate the OP but I figured I'd post in this thread rather than make a new one. Thanks again.

You can flash a new recovery using ODIN, or Mobile ODIN. I use Mobile ODIN. There's a thread on recoveries here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31894089
As far as the versions, see my previous post on this thread.

That is one of the reasons that I am rooted... so I can use WiFi Tether. I do not it much. Hardly any data at all. But when I am in a spot and need a wireless connection and I only have my phone it comes in handy.
Some other reasons:
- DroidWall: Lets me block individual apps from accessing the internet.
- AddFree: Block ads in some apps.
why would you do that?

Hello everyone.
I've been having this problem for quite some time now, actually since i first rooted my phone back in summer 2011. Since then, whenever a new update was released I was unable to install it. I keep recieving an error i've not yet been able to find answers to. So now I'am kindly asking if any of you can help me get rid of it. I wont do a clean install "again"...

You have modified a system file. This causes an OTA update to fail. Get the original applicationsprovider.apk for you current stock image and try again.

You are either not running a stock ROM, or you are trying to flash a takju update on a yakju ROM. Have a look at the OTA update thread in the General section. There are instructions on how to replace the system files. (Easiest would be to flash the system.img file from the factory image of the version you are currently running, and then the update will install.)
By the way, the GNex was not even out in summer 2011...

2012* Typo ftw But thanks.
I'am using a stock ROM, unless the website was trolling and changed the filename on a non-stock ROM And I'am pretty sure that I did not mix up takju/yakju. I went trough everything a couple of times back then because I didnt want to mess up my phone - Look how that went -.-'
Anyway. A modified system file seem possible. How this happened, I'am unsure off, but I wont disagree that I didnt do something that might have caused this. I'll try the related solution tomorrow and post results.. Thanks guys - Amazingly fast answers

it wouldnt make a difference. the rom does not match what the OTA is expecting.
