thanks.. let me try will post back

No toolkit please... If you mess up, you wouldn't know how to fix it.
I recommend following this video instruction.

Thanks a lot for the comments. I did it via the toolkit. It was very easy to follow. Thanks once again

His sig says he has a 9250 (GSM) version. Just revert to stock via the stickies and you'll be good. It's scary out there with all the hackery going on, but we're here to hold your hands... I think:angel:

i tried. and failed. couldnt get the cmd prompt to recognize fastboot.

OK.
Is it rooted?
Does it have any missing apps?
What ROM are you running?
The more details the better. If you are missing apps well that is your problem. Flash a stock ROM and boom. Then update.

Can you tell me another thing Is it safe to flash TAKJU 4.2.1 over YAKJU 4.2.1??

Read all efrant's directions thoroughly first, perhaps several times to be sure you understand the process. Without CWM, i believe your most important step would be "fastboot erase cache". If you have CWM, there's no harm in wiping cache and dalvik. I would even do a factory reset first to be safe. Yes, there are ways to preserve your data, if you already have any, but reading for comprehension is key.

How to get Android 4.2.1 factory image?

Hi,
Seems that I can't install 4.2.2 because my phone has been modified (root, custom kernel).
I can't find factory image of 4.2.1 here https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images It was replaced by 4.2.2 images?
Could you post a link to a mirror with 4.2.1 image or at least boot.img file ("takju", 4.2.1).
Thanks!

Why not just backup, flash 4.2.2 and then restore?

You are right.
Changes in 4.2.2 are so minor this time (at least for me) that I want to do an upgrade first time in my life rather than full reinstall

I've never done an OTA on my Nexus, and only did it once on my One X as I was in the user trial for JB so it was the only way. I prefer to use full images, but then again I don't have a lot to back up as most data is cloud-based and I don't game on my phone so never really lose anything

The updates for that device are unfortunately controlled by Samsung, not Google. So your best bet is to flash to either takju/yakju, which can be accomplished via the guide mrgnex linked.

Then don't. It isn't mandatory. I assume eventually Samsung will get around to pushing the update out to you.

So you change it by flashing? (Sorry for the idiotic noob questions)

Yes. Basically:
1. Unlock bootloader if it isn't already. Note that this completely wipes your device, so backup pictures or whatever you don't want to lose in this process.
2. Flash factory image for takju or yakju your choice.

@Phone_Logic I just saw this thread. I can help you update over Teamviewer if you'd like. You have a new radio on your device which I'm sure a lot of folks here would like to try out.
I'd be happy to flash takju on your device and dump the radio at the same time. If you are interested, send me a PM.
EDIT: Actually, nevermind about the radio. I just checked the radio thread, and it seems like they already have that one.

I have created this thread to give a step-by-step on how to flash the latest yakju/takju (or mysid for toro users) build available on Google's developer site. (These are full ROMs. See this thread for updating to latest OTA build using incremental updates.)
This method works for earlier builds as well, and is essentially a "return-to-stock" method.
You can easily convert ANY GSM/HSPA (i.e., maguro) device to stock yakju (or takju) from any non-yakju build (yakjuxw, yakjuxs, yakjuux, yakjusc, yakjuzs, yakjudv, yakjukr, yakjujp, yakjuxe, etc.).
