return to yakjuxw

how can i return to yakjuxw if i flash yakju using odin!
i thought i wil get an ota for 4.0.2 but nothing so i want to return to yakjuxw the same way i did for the yakju! where can i find an odin firmware yakjuxw?

I am afraid you can't. For now. There is no yakjuxw image on Google that I know of. Even the 4.0.2 was pulled from the binaries of the "Nexus Phones and Flagship Devices" page. I can not put links yet, because I am new on XDA.
I have the yakjuxw and got the volume fix today, so I am on the path! I won't flash the yakju yet, because no one that I know of got the 4.0.2 after flashing yakju 4.0.1, and because no one knows for sure the future side effects of this action, even the google engineer Jean-Baptiste Queru do not know much yet.
Do not worry, I think you won't have any problems. Fortunately, Galaxy Nexus is a dev phone!
obs. English is not my native language.

You would need to find someone using yakjuxw to perform a system dump of that ROM so you can flash it. In my opinion you are better off sticking with yakju. Google has pulled 4.0.2 from their servers and no one is receiving that update now. Google will most likely just release 4.0.3 soon for everyone instead. If you really want 4.0.2, you can download it from google code and flash it with fast boot. Like I said, your better off sticking with yakju since it will be updated first and moving back to yakjuxw won't get you 4.0.2 so there will be no point.

[Q] Updates on the GNex

Hey guys, great forum! Grateful for all the support we have here. I have a question that I hop can be answered it has to do with updates for the GNex.
So basically, I bought the Nexus with Rogers in Canada and its a great device. I went to go and check the version and it was still on 4.0.1. I rooted it and then unrooted for personal reasons, the unroot brought me to 4.0.2 because thats the file that the unrooting program had, the phone is completely stock, bootloader locked.
After this, I heard about Yakju and Yakjuux and that Yakju gets updates from Google while Yakjuux gets them from Samsung. So I proceeded to check which one mine was, I used an app called GN Official Update and it told me I am Yakju.
So why am I not getting any updates past 4.0.2? Is it because the unroot process brought me to 4.0.2? Is it because those updates have been pulled for now? I dont think me being with rogers would have an effect but if it does please tell me!
If it helps: Baseband is I9250
Kernel is stock 3.0.0-gaaa2611
[email protected]#1 and the
build is ICL53F
Thanks for any help guys!

4.0.2 is the current official update out now.

You aren't receiving any more OTA updates because there haven't been any

Oh ok, so one more question, then how come when I was on 4.0.1 I never got an update? is that because when i rooted/unlocked bootloader and unrooted thus bringing me to 4.0.2 it somehow brought me to Jakju? I dont get it!

If you're relying on OTAs, 4.0.2 is the latest available.

How long did you have the phone before you rooted it to 4.0.2? Also, it's very possible when you flashed 4.0.2 you switched to yakju I believe. Either way, I wouldn't worry too much about it. Normally when there is a new OTA update, you can find it posted here before it rolls out to your phone.

Just to clear something up, I rooted while on 4.0.1. I unrooted and the file that was there for unrooting was 4.0.2 (wugfresh's tookit). So It WAS possible that when that file was flashed to go back to stock, It changed the updates from Yakjuux(Samsung) to Jakju(GOOGLE) ?

A few points:
1) No one knows for sure who updates any of the non-yakju builds, whether yakjuux, or whatever else. And if anyone (including that app you were referring to that you used, which is not "official" by the way) tells you otherwise they are just speculating. All we know is that OTA updates for ALL builds come from Google's servers.
2) Rooting has NO impact whatsoever on you receiving or not receiving the OTA update.
3) The reason you went from 4.0.1 to 4.0.2 is because you were running yakjuux 4.0.1 (which ONLY RECENTLY received the OTA update to 4.0.2, and not all yakjuux devices have been updated yet), and when you "unrooted", you didn't really "unroot" your yakjuux 4.0.1 build. That toolkit just flashed the yakju version of 4.0.2 over your yakjuux 4.0.1 build.
4) It is yakju, not jukju
5) This thread should have been posted in the Q&A subforum, not General.
6) The latest official build for yakju is ICL53F (4.0.2). 4.0.3 is available via AOSP.

unlock bootloader, flash official 4.0.4 factory images (the ones found here, apropriate for your device, if you're in europe you probably have maguro/yakju, which is gsm) through fastboot, relock bootloader, done.
note: or try this

I just recieved ota.
Why the f i got verizon version on my phone? I got IMM76K instead of IMM76I...i got a gsm nexus...
Any answers?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Why do you want to "force an OTA" anyway? Just install a custom ROM with 4.0.4, it's probably better than the OTA anyway. You won't damage anything by doing it and you can always go back to a locked bootloader without root.
edit Also, I'm pretty sure you can install stock images with the gnex toolkit available here in the forums. Use that instead of the OTA updates if you necessarily need a stock image.

I'm also in Romania (Vodafone) and still on stock 4.0.2. Does anyone know why a bunch of versions have yet to be updated to 4.0.4?

Updates for people who aren't on Google builds i.e. anything other than yakju, are controlled by Samsung so it's up to them to release them as well as carriers. If you want the latest and greatest swap over to yakju and you'll be getting the latest releases first (and plus we have cookies ).

It all seems to me a waste of resources. Aren't all versions identical in terms of hardware?
When I bought the Galaxy Nexus I did it because I wanted an official stock experience, but you're now saying that my stock ROM isn't really stock? )

You didn't get the V version. That's still a gsm version sent out by Samsung for non yakju builds. Only yakju/takju got IMM76I. I'm thinking due to regionalization Samsung released the K version afterwards as they did some mods like languages.

Unfortunately this is exactly the case. It's still stock, it really depends on how you look at things. I know friends who couldn't care less about which version of Android their Nexus is running and they'll take what comes their way. Then you have people like me who like to experiment and flashing the newest and greatest things

The only thing I hate when I switch ROMs, is losing all my apps and settings. No matter what anyone says, backing them up doesn't always work 100%.

Couldn't agree with you more, that's why I don't bother putting anything on my phone that intends to stay. Or I'll just go back to stock like I am right now if I don't feel like chasing the flashing game. Personally, I don't have much data that I need to persist anyway, it's mainly contacts which is in Google contacts and the rest (apps) I can re-install from the Play Store.

Not sure what problems you guys are having, but I have never had any issues restoring my apps and data.
After flashing a new ROM:
1) I sign into my Google account, and it re-downloads all my apps, Wi-Fi settings, BT settings, email accounts and settings, etc.
2) I use Titanium Backup to restore settings for any of the apps that I want restored.
The only thing I don't restore is data for system apps (like the stock launcher). This you have to redo yourself (which is a little pain in the butt, but it only takes a few minutes). If you use a custom launcher, it's even easier, just restore the settings.

Well, first of all, not all the apps are automatically re-downloaded, depending on the ROM, and second, the launcher settings, the screen/sound/clock/alarms/etc.. (all the other system settings) are just as important.

Really? Strange. I have never had an issue with apps not being re-downloaded when I sign-in to the setup wizard on any stock ROM that I have used.

Yup, as I had mentioned, stock-only launcher needs to be set up. I would assume any alarms would as well only on the stock alarm clock, but I don't use it. Same goes for sound and sound profiles. I use Audio Manager from the market, so the settings are restored using that.
Not sure what settings there for the screen. I thought is was just one brightness control and that's it, no?

Well, if we're talking about stock ROM images, you might be right
I'm on yakjuxw (I think, or something), is there an easy way to install latest yakju 4.0.4 stock ROM?

The 4.0.4 update for yakjuxw came out today/yesterday if you want to install that. See here.
If you want yakju or takju, look here. First post has instructions on setting up drivers for your PC, unlocking the bootloader, and flashing takju (or yakju) images. Second post has info on how to install the latest stock build (JRN84D).
I would recommend takju (or yakju) over staying on yakjuxw.

[Q] Upgrade from 4.0.1 to 4.0.2

Hi, I just got my gsm galaxy nexus i9250 today with stock android 4.0.1. I heard that 4.0.4 will cause signal loss bug so I'm hoping that I can update to 4.0.2 OTA or 4.0.3 instead. So where do I download a stock 4.0.2 or 4.0.3 to flash it? There's only 4.0.4 factory image in the google developers site (xda don't allow me to post link because this is my first post).
Can someone help please? Sorry if this question have been asked before. Thank you.

The problems with the network have been fixed in a small update (i think it was 500 kb or so) from google. You won't experience the issues we had 2 MONTHS AGO when you just flash version 4.0.4 with Build number IMM761. Android 4.0.4 is way better than 4.0.2...
How did you even get 4.0.1? my phone (european samsung version) came with 4.0.2 from the box back in march.

I wouldn't do that! if I were you
to explain this I have to tell you this:
there are diffrent versions of the ROM available. When your phone comes from the US you have a big chance that you are running Yakuja (the official Google branded ROM). but when you live outside the USA or got your phone from a non-US batch you have diffrent "Samsung branded ROMS". there's not such a big difference other than samsung checks the update and leaves things out that should not be available in your country...
You might brick your phone really nasty when you go update it with the wrong "ROM brand". If you really insist on getting the latest update (4.0.4) and when it doesn't come to you in the normal OTA way. try this thread bellow:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895
In the process you will get the latest version of Android without the need for modified recoveries. This is "the legit Google way".

Oh if the problem is gone then I would just update it to the latest 4.0.4 then I'm just worried because I read a lot of article saying that 4.0.4 causing signal loss when phone is in sleep mode. I got a used one (like new) from Amazon maybe thats why it's still 4.0.1

Nope, my European stock rom came without Google books (comes standard with android). and did not get full functionality on the NFC (since our public transportation cards can be hacked using NFC). There is a difference between brands.
above that, the method posted in the link is how it should be done. If you check the official Android documentation you'll see the same description (but with some expensiver words). It's a proven way that is and has been reliable and save for a long time. of course I know what CWM is and does. But these ways are just ok.
I don't think the OP needs Root on his phone when he doesn't even know how to update a phone.
And in the technique described on the xda page I revered to (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895) you can actually relock the OEM after the switch, which means you have a very high chance of keeping the factory warranty (they will only notice it when they dig in to the phone really really really deep, but even then you would be considered to be a "stock" user in most of the cases).
When you have CWM sitting in your phones memory they will notice that. If you had it in your phones memory they will notice to (since the phone keeps past-version records on a save place).

No, that is not a stock ROM, and no it is NOT just a stock ROM that is rooted with busybox. It is a deodexed, zipaligned ROM, with a non-stock kernel.
If you use that, you will no longer be able to use OTA updates to update to a new version -- you will have to re-install a full ROM.

If you are realy curious about what version you have you can check this app:

It's completely harmless! It will check the brand on the phone and provide you with details.

I agree with what Azlan96 posted. I received the 4.0.4 update last week and to add insult to injury, when you look at the Kernal Version in the Settings/About phone screen, it shows that the kernel was available in MARCH! Why did it take so long for Samsung to get it to us?!
I like others purchased this phone off of a dailysteals sale earlier in the year and also have a yakjuxw device. I couldn't stomach the fact that we have Google's flagship phone, but are kept under hostage by Samsung. Yesterday I unlocked the bootloader using the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit by following the steps in this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392310) and flashed the stock yakju image.
I'm a n00b at this stuff but Mark Skippen did an excellent job creating that toolkit and making it easy for anyone to do it. I had the bootloader unlocked in 20 minutes (the majority of the time is downloading the image files) and received the 4.1.1 OTA once I logged back into my google account.
My device is now converted to the google yakju version and on jelly bean. I also have the peace of mind that future updates will be coming from google, and not Samsung.

I also converted to yakju from yakjuxw here on my australian galaxy nexus ,best decision I ever made an now i'm on official 4.1.1 jellybean an will always get updates as soon as google releases them, its as easy as unlocking boot loader an flashing stock yakju.Don't listen to stupid carriers like vodafone telling you bs excuses as to why you have to wait for updates because they don't have a clue, their customer support don't know the first thing about android an how it works.

Not sure if trolling...or serious .
And back on-topic, you probably won't get JB for a while (I mean how long did it take for your guys to receive 4.0.4...).

First thing I did when I got my nexus was getting rid of yakjuxw. Second boot actually

Like others said, you can convert from yakjuux to yakju or takju to get the latest update from google. I have 2 Gnex and both was on yakjuux, and made the switch. For the first time in my life i flashed my phones, and it really wasn't hard at all. Trust me it is WORTH the effort!

I had horrible battery draining on Yakju 4.0.4!
My Nexus had originally "Yakjuxw" 4.0.1 - 4.0.2 and I didn't want to use anymore the 4.0.2 so I flashed other bootloader + radio baseband and then Jelly Bean 4.1 "takju" which updated to 4.1.1 and I'm happy with it.. (then yakjuxw got the 4.0.4 update)
Takju is much better than yakju and yakjuxw builds.. :d

How is takju better than yakju if you don't mind me asking other than coming with Google wallet pre installed.

It isn't. As far as I know, it's the exact same, but with the addition of Google Wallet.

My device came with yakjuxw, and I pretty much flashed the yakju image a few hours after unboxing it. As for when the update comes, noone really knows.

If you flashed yakju, just flash the OTA image over it for 4.1.1

Converting your phone will certainly wipe ALL your device (including internal memory), so make a backup. You only need how to enter fastboot mode (turn it on while pressing Vol up + Vol Down). Follow these steps:
1. Dowload the toolkit that's in sticky in the Android Dev section. Install the drivers there (option 1).
2. Unlock the bootloader. (option 3 I believe).
3. Enter the section to download factory google images. Download YAKJU or TAKJU 4.0.4 (the latter if you want google wallet).
4. Flash that image you downloaded.
5. Reboot and wait for OTA.
If you don't want to wait, you can download the OTA zip file, place it in the internal memory and use the toolkit to boot in CWM and flash it from there.
Cheers!

Sorry if im asking a noob question, by unlocking the bootloader, we will void the phone's warranty right? :/

Please HELP ME
Hi,
My buildinfos reports that my phone is yakjuxw / maguro: 4.0.4 / IMM76K.
According to the options available in the GN toolkit, my phone's build (IMM76K) is in the section CDMA / LTE (MYSID / TORO). How is this possible, my buildinfos reports that the hardware is a maguro, but my phone build's is in the "mysid section" (GN toolkit)?
I do not know what to do. I want to upgrade my phone to YAKJU, but YAKJU is in "section GSM (maguro)" and my phone's build is CDMA / LTE (mysid).
Can anyone help me?
