I forget the yshkxklchzl whatever it is name, but I've checked out the Dev section and all I see are ROMs
I like vanilla - wondering if there's update.zip files out there for 4.0.2 or better. I'm unlocked and rooted - I have the OS that updates via Samsung not Google.
Thanks
dang, thought we'd have those cool update.zip releases just like on my old Nexus One!
guess not??
There are no official updates more recent than 4.0.2. You can follow the instructions in this thread to change your phone to yakju (updates from Google) and install the latest official 4.0.2.
I'm actually looking for 4.0.2 ... it's out for my version but I don't see it posted anywhere...
If you're talking about that Android Central article about the Bell update, they never verified if it was correct and assumed the user that emailed them knew what he was talking about. NOBODY with yakjuux has received 4.0.2 or has been able to confirm they also got the update.
oh boooooooooooooo yeah that's what I was referring to I thought yakjuux would have gotten updated by now.
not that i'm complaining, 4.0.1 is great. Just heard a few minor speed/battery improvements were coming so....
Anyone had recieve the OTA 4.0.4 IMM76D in this days? It's seems that is not available anymore...
Anyone knows something? like...when it's going to be available again or if someone got it in this days without using "trick"?
It should be available? Have you tried going to your applications list, selecting all apps and scroll down to "Google Services Framework" and wipe its data? Might have to do that a few times for it to work.
I have read Android 4.0.4 is currently rolling out via an over-the-air update to Galaxy Nexus phones. The Android version of my Galaxy Nexus is currently 4.0.2. I have been checking for a new version over the past weeks through:
Settings / About Phone / System updates / Check now
but it has always being saying that "my system is currently up to date". Is it normal I didn't get the 4.0.4 version yet? Is there maybe anything else I need to do to "activate" it?

They halted the IMM76D update because it has radio issues. That's why there's a new OTA to IMM76I that fixes the issues. Chances are they'll just resume it and push people straight from 4.0.2 to IMM76I.

Read above. Also, if you're not a "yakju" device, you probably aren't getting it yet either way right now.

Cool story?
Hi
I purchased my Galaxy Nexus when it first launched back in November from Handtec, the current firmware on my device is version 4.0.2. But for some reason it does not get the notification for OTA updates. I understand from reading the forums that the current version is 4.0.4 and that was pushed over two weeks ago. My device has not gotten the notification to update, I tried the framework suggestion that was suggested on another thread but I got no result I also tried the "check in" code and had no luck. My current carrier is AT&T, is my Nexus defective? Can somebody please help?
Thank you

If your phone is anything but yakju then your in for a wait. Also the 4.0.4 roll out has stopped until google fixes the signal issues some people have.
How can I identify if my phone is a yakju ?

Dude please read a bit. This exact thread exists every single day of the last week.
Check your version with this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.cbruegg.officialupdate
But the thing is that even if it is "yakju" (updated by Google). The 4.0.4 update has been stopped because it causes radio-related signal drop issues for some users. They recently issued a small 4.0.4 "fix" for it. Once things are sorted out, presumably 4.0.2 users will get moved straight up to the latest 4.0.4.
With the Galaxy Nexus, there are a LOT of different firmware variants, most of which are updated by Samsung, not Google. This guide attempts to sort all of this out for the beginner and help you make sense of it all.
WHAT IS ALL THIS TALK ABOUT FIRMWARE VARIATIONS?
With every Nexus phone, there has been a "master" firmware, plus other localized firmware variants for certain regions or carriers. Sometimes these variants will contain language packs, additional ringtones, slightly different baseband (radio) firmware to make it work better for a particular carrier's network, etc.
In the case of the Nexus S, Google maintained the master and all the local variants. On the Nexus One and the Xoom, Google only maintained the master firmware while carriers and/or OEMs maintained the local variants. In the case of the Galaxy Nexus, there are three Google-maintained master firmware variants, and many more Samsung-maintained local variants.
WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT VARIANTS AND WHAT DO THEY MEAN?
Below is a definitive list of all known firmware variants for the Galaxy Nexus, and what models they shipped on:
GSM/HSPA+ Models
takju - USA region- and carrier-independent firmware released on models sold in the USA through the Google Play Store
yakju - International region- and carrier-independent firmware released on models sold throughout western Europe.
yakjudv - Variant for Australia
yakjujp - Variant for the Middle East
yakjujt - Variant for Turkey
yakjukr - Variant for South Korea
yakjusc - Variant for Japan
yakjuux - Variant for Canada
yakjuvs - Variant for Brazil
yakjuxe - Variant for Russia and the former Eastern Bloc
yakjuxw - Variant for certain carriers in Western Europe
yakjuzs - Variant for China and Hong Kong
CDMA/LTE Models
mysid - Variant for Verizon in the USA
mysidspr - Variant for Sprint in the USA
HOW CAN I TELL WHICH FIRMWARE I HAVE ON MY DEVICE
Using any file manager app, go into your /system folder and open the file called "build.prop". Find the line that starts with ro.product.name. Whatever comes after the equals sign (=), that's the firmware you have.
WHICH FIRMWARE IS UPDATED BY GOOGLE AS OPPOSED TO SAMSUNG?
Google updates the following firmware variants:
takju
yakju
mysid
Every other variant is updated and maintained by Samsung.
SO YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT THE SPRINT GALAXY NEXUS GETS UPDATES FROM SAMSUNG AND NOT GOOGLE?!?!
Yep.
WHY DOES IT MATTER WHERE MY UPDATES COME FROM ANYWAY?
For all practical purposes, it probably doesn't. However, this becomes an issue if you want timely updates. When Google drops a new OTA update for the Galaxy Nexus, they always announce it through official Android channels. When they announce a Galaxy Nexus OTA, they are only referring to devices running the firmware that they control.
This means that if you have a Sprint Galaxy Nexus, or a GSM model running one of the yakju(xx) firmware variants, your device is not included in the OTA rollout from Google. Your update will instead come from Samsung sometime in the future after they make whatever region- and/or carrier-specific changes they need to make for the firmware.
I HAVE A VERIZON GALAXY NEXUS. THE FIRMWARE IS UPDATED BY GOOGLE SO WHY DOES IT ALWAYS TAKE LONGER FOR UPDATES TO HIT MY DEVICE THAN THE GSM/HSPA+ DEVICE
Even though Google maintains and updates the mysid firmware on the Verizon Galaxy Nexus, Verizon must test and approve the updates before Google is allowed to roll them out. This introduces delays, sometimes lengthy ones. For instance, Android 4.0.4 began rolling out to the Galaxy Nexus GSM model on March 28, 2012. The Verizon device didn't get the update until two months later, on May 31, 2012 due to testing delays. That's not to say that all future OTAs will occur on a two month delay, but it's best to be prepared for the worst.
WHAT'S THIS I'VE HEARD ABOUT BEING ABLE TO FLASH YAKJU FIRMWARE ON A DEVICE RUNNING YAKJU(XX)? IF I DO THIS, WILL MY UPDATES COME FROM GOOGLE?
You can flash yakju firmware onto any Galaxy Nexus GSM device that's running a yakju(xx) variant. This is outside the scope of this guide, but instructions can be found here on XDA with a little searching. Once you're up and running on yakju, your updates will come from Google rather than Samsung.
DOES THE SAME THING GO FOR CDMA? COULD I FLASH THE VERIZON MYSID FIRMWARE TO MY SPRINT MODEL AND GET UPDATES FROM GOOGLE?
No, No, No and NO! If you tried this, you'd probably risk hard bricking your phone, and even if it did boot, you'd have no mobile data and probably wouldn't be able to make calls either.
WHAT IF I HAVE FIRMWARE-RELATED QUESTIONS THAT AREN'T ADDRESSED IN THIS GUIDE?
Post them here and I'm sure someone can answer it for you.

Nice guide dude, you're gonna be thanked a lot.
I have a question, what hapens with my GN?
I just got it and It was originally Sprint, now its flashed to Iusacell, the CDMA carrier here in Mexico.
Where the hell are coming my updates from? D:
I'm not really worried, Im rooted runing stock 4.0.4, but if an important update comes, ill flash a rooted rom from here and be up to date.
But anyway I'm curious about that.

It sounds like you're still running the stock mysidspr firmware that came on your Sprint device originally, you just have it running on the Mexican carrier. That means you'll get any update any other Sprint device gets, which would come from Samsung.

thanks for the info...
I have a hong kong version of the galaxy nexus...
from this post I understand updates are managed by samsung.
the only OTA update I got until now was from 4.0.1 to 4.0.2. never got anything else. this did not really bother me up until now that jellybean will probably roll out soon for google managed versions.
Is there some place where I can search to see if my version will ever get jelly bean at all? and if it wil than when?
thanks in advance!
Thank you very much wish to continue your work

Hi, I'm a little confused. Here in Brazil our Galaxy Nexus is called Galaxy X. It's basically the same phone, but we haven't recieved 4.0.4 update yet. We are stuck on 4.0.2.
How an I flash the yakju firmware on my device? I searched for tutorials here on XDA but I couldn't find anything conclusive.

Hello there,
Sorry to bother you all; first post!
I saw the noob video, so I'll be quick.
I've figured out what version of Nexus I have finally through your guide (yakjuux for Canada), but what I'm trying to figure out is if my Canadian Nexus is a GSM, VZW....or the other one I can't remember.
If you could help me out with that, I'm sure I'll be able to find the rest of the info on my own.
Thanks so much in advance!
EDIT: My phone is under Virgin Mobile's network, if this helps any.
