[Q] Update Galaxy Nexus ?

Hello,
Ive got 2 Galaxy nexus one bought from US store and one from a UK store, both are not the LTE versions.
i got OTA update from 4.0.1 to 4.0.2 OTA on the UK one but not yet for the US.
I dont want to brick the phone so Id like some help please, ive never used nexus phones before so i apologize for all the questions.
is it possible to flash it to the US one? and if i do will i still get OTA updates when they roll out or would i have to always do it manually?
the US one is 4.0.1 baseband: XXKK1 Kernel: ga052f63 Build: ITL41F
and i the UK one is 4.0.2 baseband: KK6 kernel: gaaa2611 Build: ICL53F after OTA update.
Do use Gnex Toolkit v4.1 ? and without rooting?
Thanks guys

Sorry about Bumping,,,,,,,still awaiting reply please

you won't brick.
there is no U.S. firmware for the Galaxy Nexus.
there are only three types of OTAs:
yakju: Google supported (GSM)
mysid: Google supported (LTE)
variants of yakju (yakjuxw,yakjuux,etc): GSM
flash it.

Thanks Zephik, the app helped me alot
The product name is yakjuxw and it says its NOT updated by Google.
does this mean they wont ever update? or just currently its not yet pushed through?

it still receives updates but it comes from Samsung. still a stock experience, just comes with extra languages and things like that.
you can convert it to a yakju (search it).
updates often come out for yakju more frequently than the variations of yakju

If I convert it to a yakju, will this affect my warranty? If yes, can I convert it back to my current one?

Based on my modest knowledge, if the nexus doesn't have a flash counter and u flash back to yakuxw u shouldnt lose warranted. Better ask the professionals here in xda though.

You won't lose your warranty if you flash a official firmware, I did that when I changed to yakju.

Updating a rooted Nexus to 4.1

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.

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.
Do I reset the whole device again for an update to 4.1 (so start from zero again).
But it gold already solved!

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

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.

am I missing something :S? imm76k on gsm yakju

Hi,
I can't find out witch version my galaxy nexus is ,
It has to be an GSM international yakju but the
But the build number(imm76k) is for the Verizon cdma,
Judging by the Baseband number(I9250xxla2) it should have the imm76i, but it doesn't .
I had a Samsung galaxy s vibrant before this one so I'm
More or less familiar with android flashing and rooting. But I have no clue on what to do next .I wanted to root it, instal cwm and flash a 4.1 official rom
I searched around the net and the forums but found almost nothing.

IMM76K is the 4.0.4 for the non-yakju variants so you must be running one of those.
If you want the official 4.1.1 you can either flash the takju/yakju factory image for 4.0.4 and wait for the OTA or update to 4.1.1 manually.
OR you can wait until the factory image for 4.1.1 is available and flash that.

Yes, it looks like some devices are shipping with yakju IMM76K. Not sure why, but it seems that they are not getting the update right away. If you just bought your device, best is to just flash yakju JRO03C from Google's site.

OTA Update 4.1.2 is that going to happen to Yakju devices soon?

So is this update out there for out S Galaxy Nexus devices yet? or should we flash it ourselves with the file that was released yesterday for the Nexus 7?

Never flash ROM from different variant...
Galaxy Nexus doesn't have 4.1.2 yet, but people in the development forum had complied a nice pure AOSP ROM that is based on 4.1.2

Well if you really want that minor update, by all means, go ahead. I'm not doing you, but I personally am going to wait for AOKP to update
Also AOSP means android open source project. Pure AOSP is basically means stock

well the full factory image is out for Takju, but doing so will wipe your entire phone.. hope the OTA for yakju comes sooner..

Yes the factory image hit, but the OTA isn't available.
Word is that the images weren't even supposed to go up today. There was supposed to be an OTA to Google employees' devices for final dogfooding.
When it's officially rolling out to takju devices you'd better bet its rolling out to yakju at the exact same time.

I guess takju have Wallet, Play Mag, Play Book and Play Movie. Yakju don't have these i think.
I'm probably wrong, so someone double confirm on this.

4.1.2 OTA to newly purchased Galaxy nexus
will a newly purchased Galaxy nexus that is still running 4.0.4 receive the OTA for 4.1.2 ? OR at first it needs to have 4.1.1 running to receive the OTA ?
Is there any possibility that the 4.1.1 OTA will still be available for the new device ?

I would guess yes. You will first get the update to 4.1.1 before 4.1.2.

Go from 4.1.1 to 4.2.1 How to??

Hey guys, just bought this phone off craigslist today to upgrade from my LG Revolution. I've used roms with the Revo so I'm not a total stranger. I'm wondering how to upgrade to 4.2.1, my phone doesn't seem to get the OTA update, I downloaded the zip to flash and after I flashed it in CWM it the version didn't change under my system info.
I have the verizon version. thanks!

The OTA isn't out for the Toro, the Verizon version. I think you need to do a little reading before you accidentally damage your new phone flashing something not intended for it.

Latest for toro is 4.1.2. You can flash a rooted stock version or try to get the OTA notification to show up.

Google has released the 4.2.1 binaries, so now every ROM baker and their brother can put out 4.2.1 ROMs; but. . . Verizon hasn't done it yet. Their latest official GNex ROM is 4.1.1 (so there's no point in looking for an OTA update).
