Hello,
i have a Galaxy Nexus "yakju" still on 4.0.2
i have opend the bootloader to able to make full dumps with cwm (without flashing it), but i got no ota update. i tried to delete Google Services Framework Data, but with no success...
Just flash the update, since you already have your bootloader unlocked. Files have been available for weeks.
Hi martonikaj,
i know that way to flash the OTA file via /cache, but my question is more in general. has google stopped the OTA? why i don't get it? couldn't find any usable info about this. May the bootloader locked to get OTA updates?

Absolutely NO.
I have got some fiends that receive the OTA with the bootloader locked... if you have anni unlocked nexus... wy don't you simply flash the ROM?

No, your bootloader doesn't have to be locked to get the OTA. Your radio, build.prop and complete footprint need to be proper to receive it though.
You don't use the /cache mode. If you have an unlocked bootloader, you just boot into a temporary CWM image and flash the update with Fastboot. The update will wipe that CWM and you'll be on stock 4.0.4.
I downloaded the OTA files and flashed it with stock recovery...

Sorry if this was already asked... If I unlock the bootloader and root, will I still get OTA updates? (I dont plan on flashing ROM's just yet...). I heard Verizon has a fix for the signal issues in the works and I do not want to miss that OTA.
If you install a custom recovery like clockwork mod you won't be able to install an OTA but you don't have to install that.

So I can unlock and root and still get OTA's as long as I don't install CWM?

Yes you will get the update. Note that after the OTA you will lose root and just need to re-root the device.
Okay thank you!
Hi all,
I got my Galaxy Nexus GSM over a month ago now and got an OTA update straight away to 4.0.1. However I decided to flash the stock OTA 4.0.2 when it waqs released the first time (bootloader unlock and rooted).
However that update cause major lag on transitions and menus (forget the thread but it screwed many devices it seems).
Anyway it's re-rolling out again now and I'm thinking about giving it another try. I don't want to lose my data however.
The question is simple...is there a way to flash the update without wiping data?
Cheers
1. Back up using adb backup (use search to find the thread)
2. Flash stock 4.0.1 then wait for update or ditectly 4.0.2 image, then restore data using adb restore
3. ???
4. Profit!

OK, so in other words no.
Here's a question then...when people get their OTA updates does it wipe their devices?
No it does not.
So in that case could I just relock my bootloader and unroot and get the update?

Yes. Flash the factory image and don't use the -w flag when applying the update.
OTA does not wipe. Either wait to receive it or apply manually.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Can you be a bit more specific - I can flash via the CW Recovery right? What method are you talking about using the -w ?
Help greatly appreciated.
I think that's the option when you flash image using fastboot
Anyway, is there any difference on latest roll of 4.0.2, compared to link on Google factory images, I was thinking doing the same today revert back from 4.0.3 custom rom to 4.0.2 stock

I have stock 4.0.1 ROM, just bootloader and root unlocked. I'm getting OTA update and want to allow it to update is all.
hi guys ihave an strange issue iwas using stock yakju 4.0.2 getting the update via ota
but after root and flash another rom idecide to come back to stock so via odin icame back to 4.0.1 thinking that iwill recieve the update directly ! but ididnt !! is there any problem or ?google stopped the ota update !!
From what I know, you have to have the bootloader locked. With it unlocked you won't receive the OTA. I maybe wrong though...
yes you are right but if you came back to 4.0.1 via odin the bootloader will automaticlly locked ! as i know and the unlock image which is below google type when i open the device dissapear so iguess that already locked
You can get the OTA with an unlocked boot loader but make sure you have the stock boot loader and radio as well as the ROM.

the problem is im not getting it dunno why so do you guys recmmend to unlock root the device and just flash any thing i want due to recovery !? and which is faster flash update due to recovery or getting ota updates ? from your experience
Did you flash a YAKJU image? Not everyone with the YAKJU** image have gotten the update, so be sure to check which one you have (should say in build.prop i believe or any system info app).
Also, why'd you use ODIN? Just use fastboot to flash the stock images Google provide
I think not everyone receive the OTA update from Google
Maybe 10 minutes after getting my Nexus i got the notification to update to 4.0.2. Mine was yakju out the box. Booted device up for the first time and my Nexus was in Japanese.
I always get the 4.0.2 OTA when i restore the phone to stock ITL41F.
I restored my phone today again and i dont recibe OTA update, seems to be disabled the OTA updates.
Maybe Google is changing something? who knows XD But i´m pretty sure that something happens with the OTA updates for yakju since yesterday.
PD; sorry about my english... XD
I'm still stuck on 4.0.1 on mine, and it came with yakju...so maybe the update still hasn't finished rolling out? Anyone have any other thoughts?

Stock bootloader? There is no other kind at the moment. And besides, it does not affect anything. Stock radio? Again, all radios available at the moment are stock. I think what you meant to say was the yakju radio. Although it is needed to install the OTA update, it will not affect you getting notification of an OTA update if you are using a radio that comes from a different stock build other than yakju.

Yes, I would recommend flashing the latest yakju image (if you don't mind wiping, as unlocking the bootloader will wipe your device). See link in my signature for how to flash to the latest yakju version.

No one knows the logic behind how updates are pushed out. Just flash the latest build, or update your current build (if your bootloader is unlocked). See link in my signature for how to update your build.
thank you guys especially efrant for your advise ijust rooted and unlocked my gnexus and flashed the last google image using tooklit so easy
I recibe the OTA update one hour ago, the problem with OTA updates is solved.
if i manually update from 4.0.4 takju to the jb 4.1.1 through cmw, will i still get OTA updates in future. also, if the i do the update, will it lock the bootloader and erase cwm? thanks

OK to get a few things right here, you need to have stock recovery to install OTA, no it won't relock boot loader, yes it will erase CWM. Your rom needs to be 100% stock (including boot loader, kernel and radio aswell as rom and recovery).
The way I just went to 4.1.1 (takju) I was running the preview JB Google IO rom anyway so in CWM I reflashed that to undo any system changes I made. Then using Mskips nexus tool kit I used it to flash stock recovery and then BOOT (NOT FLASH) to CWM. Find the update and flash it. Before you do all this use titanium to back up your stuff, do a nandroid and get voodoo OTA root keeper so you get root back after the update.
Then using the tool kit again I used it to flash CWM back. Then your done. I won't give further instructions but for further reading efrant has very good posts about this stuff, mskip has very good instructions on his tool kit in the thread

i'm still a little confused. my phone is completely stock. it's a takju 4.0.4. i don't want to wait for the OTA for jb 4.1.1. i was going to use the nexus tool kit to unlock the bootloader ( i believe that's required to boot it into cwm) then run the OTA update that people posted for my version to update it. I don't care about keeping cwm or bootloader, just want the update now and keep the phone still stock. i also want to make sure that i'll get OTA updates in the future. It looks like I can just boot it into cwm without flashing it, so that's what i'm going to do.

Yeah you can but you need to unlock the boot loader to do it, which wipes your entire phone so back up any thing you want to keep like photos or music. When the bootloader is open you can just leave it and just lock it if you need to send for warranty. Or if you already have root but locked boot loader there is a free app to unlock it on play store

once, i update the file using the nexus toolkit to boot into custom recovery, once it updates, it will lock the bootloader and the phone will be back to stock right? or is the bootloader going to stay open.
also, will i still get future OTA updates if i just do the update by booting into recovery and not flashing cwm?

Once you unlock it the bootloader stays open until you choose lock I again. You can still get ota but remember you need the matching bootloader, kernel, radio and unmodified system and recovery. So just booting cwm is fine to apply and then after its applied the patch you can flash what ever you want again. I find its always a good idea to make a back up of a 100% stock rom and keep it on the pc just in case. This is all simple and quick with the tool kit

Hey, first, thanks for the replies. Second, if I unlock the bootloader to install update, make no other changes, meaning everything else is stock and the update is googles stock update, them once the update is done, can I run the toolkit again to lock the bootloader. Doing this will it bring my phone to same everything as a stock ota updated one? Or is me unlocking and then locking bootloader going to cause me to have a different version for the next ota

No worries its fine. Yes after you have successfully applied a stock OTA patch onto a stock rom then you are running the same as everyone. Their are minor regional differences, like takju and yakuto (what ever lol) toro, toro plus etc but flashing a ota patch from a different build won't work on a rom that doesn't match.
You can go to the Google developer site and search for the full ROM and you know definitely its 100% as its meant to be, the patches just write over the bits which change in updates. The thing to bear in MIMD about flashing the whole ROM from Google site is that it will wipe your entire phone

i dont see why you wouldnt still get ota updates. i could be wrong, but pretty sure youll still get them
for flashing to stock, rooting, and unlocking you can use the nexus root toolkit.
http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/
it will automatically download the stock image file which contains the stock recovery. i think its boot.img (within the stock file). you can also manually download the stock file here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images

Are you sure is it possible to get OTA from google without stock recovery? If its true, is a good news!
The stock from [email protected] is have stock rom & recovery, I want to flash only stock recovery without rom and reset.
Thanks.

im not 100% sure because this is my first nexus device. but on my n7000 (international galaxy note) i got updates just fine with a custom recovery.
use the tool kit in my first post to flash stock recovery.
I got an OTA update on my deb/LTE with TWRP and SuperSU on it.
After the update stock recovery was flashed and my deb was unrooted again.
Just flashed TWRP back and the SuperSU zip. Everything is working fine!:good:

I will waiting to the next OTA to check it (with root, unlocked & TWRP recovery).

The bootloader lock/unlock state hasn't been changed by the OTA update!

Also, if you want the OTA but don't want to have to unlock and root again, people usually post a flashable update that you can install via your custom recovery.
