OTA update question

I have flashed my phone to yakju.
I then flashed the Telstra DVKK6 radio back so I get better network performance. If 4.0.3 is released, will I get a notification since my radio is different from Google stock? And if I can update OTA will it update my radio to the latest one?

im pretty sure that you will be able to OTA update fine
Im certain that updating will put you back to stock radio and you'll have to refresh

Is ICS 4.0.2 latest?

So, I got my GN today and I just noticed that my OS is 4.0.2
Is that the latest and the greatest?

Without rooting yes.

A few quick questions about the phone you just got:
1) Was it made in China or Korea?
2) Is the build version yakju or something like yakjuwx/yakjusc/yakuux/etc? You can find this with the Android system info app
3) Who did you buy it from?
Thanks!

Got my 4.0.2 update today in the morning (an hour ago) as well.
1. How to check that? Sticker under the battery doesn't have that info.
2. Mine is "yakjuwx". What does it say?
3. I bought mine in Lithuania/Europe and not from a mobile operator but from official store. Box says that it's made in Korea and distributor - Poland/Europe.
BTW, what has been fixed in 4.0.2?

i believe it's the latest if you're unrooted.. no official update for 4.0.3 yet..

Also recieved 4.0.2 today and got yakjuxw

My phone (i9250) just downloaded the 4.0.2 update. Upon reboot it got stuck on that android busy screen. After about half an hour I removed the battery. I could then boot into Android normally. It's still 4.0.1 and now claims there are no updates available.
My phone is rooted using the WugFresh method, but I did not install any custom ROM. Is it to be expected that a rooted Galaxy Nexus would fail OTA updates?

not an official OTA, but the official 4.0.3 update itself is right there on google's servers for any nexus user to build for themselves. Build your own zip.

There was rumor/speculation of another update release by the end of January.

Well it's February so rumours are rumours. Not being a smartass or anything. I hope we get the update soon. Some glitches are inconvenient.

Are updates carrier-centric? My phone reports that there are no updates, and I'm on 4.0.1.

He is talking about the GSM model, you have CDMA.

I hope they release the OTA soon... it's so laggy....

If you used the WugFresh tool kit to unlock and root your phone, then it installed ClockworkMod Recovery. Having CWM on your phone will prevent it from receiving OTA updates.
IMHO if you've unlocked and rooted your phone, it's time for a custom rom. There are some really good, stable roms out there using 4.0.3. And the developers update far more frequently than you'd recieve OTA updates.
Don't be scared, the developers have made it as easy as they possibly could. Before a month ago, I'd never run anything but a stock phone. I'm still a complete noob, but I've run three different custom roms, flashed kernels, radios, and added mods... Just follow directions, always back-up, and if things get hairy, you've a large community of really smart people who are willing to help.

Considering they haven't even started rolling out 4.0.2 in some regions, I think we have a bit of a wait on our hands.

Its region-specific. Read up on this whole argument over "yakju" vs "yakju**" phones.

Jelly Bean OTA

So I've never been able to receive OTA updates on my nexus devices. I got a new gnex a few weeks ago and stayed in its shipped 4.0.2 for over a week and eventually just manually flashed 4.0.4 cause it wouldn't get the OTA. I'm running a pre released 4.1, should I downgrade to 4.0.4 and go for the OTA or just wait for the stock images to flash?

theres an OTA zip from 4.1 release preview to 4.1.1. read the main OTA thread the links are there. and you could have just posted this in that thread too instead of making a new thread.

Either or. If you're on takju 4.1 you should get the 4.1.1 OTA soon enough... there's a .zip available to flash if you're handy with booting into a temporary CWM recovery.

If you're fully stock JRN84D (with the proper radio and recovery) on a GSM device, you will receive the OTA. It was the first OTA to be announced to start rolling out.

OTA Upgrade?

Alright so im currently on the 4.1.1 build from Google and I was wondering I heard the canadian build came out and I wanted to upgrade to tht and I was wondering how do I get the Canadian OTA update? Thanks guys

There is a nandroid otherwise you would have to downgrade to completely stock yakjuux ICS to receive the OTA

OK can u give me a link to download the yakjuux ICS so I can flash it in fastboot

Why would you want to go to the Canadian build when you're already on 4.1.1? If you switch to that, you'll get updates slowly again... You're already on takju, stay there lol.

There are no stock images available for yakjuux. But as was mentioned, there is a yakjuux 4.1.1 version you can restore in cwm.

my galaxy nexus is asking for update.. how can i keep my root

i'm running 4.1.
and since a few days ago, my nexus is saying the update is ready and i should update.. i guess it's 4.2?
anyway, last time i updated like this, i lost my root..
so what's the easiest way to accept this system update but still keep my root?

The easiest way is just to flash a rooted stock 4.2 ROM. I don't know why people are so dependent on OTA when they're XDA members...

Install an ap called "OTA rootkeeper" by Voodoo, run it and give it root permissions.
Then it'll do what it says (I last used it on a GN about the 4.0.1 update, should still work though).

I tried this process earlier today, i mean, JOP40C -> JOP40D through OTA, worked fine..
Rooted it in like 1 min. Still got the stock recovery on too. To an unlocked user, i don't see the point of protecting root with app X or Y.

Make sure you have a unlocked bootloader, the rest is non-issue.....

this..

agree with others just flash a rom which is 4.2 there are a few in the developers section which are pure 4.2 or look at rasbeanjelly which is pure 4.2 with a few nice tweaks.
The custom roms are often ahead of the google ones they had the date fixed in the contacts app before google pushed a fix
