The official download link for Verizon Galaxy Nexus 4.0.4 has been discovered. Here's what you need to do in order to upgrade from stock 4.0.2 without needing to be rooted first.
PLEASE NOTE: My apologies for the flip-flopping. It appears Step 4, the booting into CWM Recovery, will NOT work if your bootloader is locked after all. You will first need to unlock your bootloader to use this upgrade method. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BACKUP YOUR ENTIRE PHONE BEFORE PROCEEDING. Unlocking the bootloader wipes ALL data on your phone and it is NOT recoverable.
For instructions on how to update without having an unlocked bootloader or root access, see the link at the bottom of this post.
1. Download the OTA ZIP from: http://android.clients.google.com/p....signed-mysid-IMM76K-from-ICL53F.12f767e7.zip
Mirror: http://min.us/mhhv9ahG4

Mirror: http://emuneee.com/downloads/12f767e7a5d0.signed-mysid-IMM76K-from-ICL53F.12f767e7.zip
2. Copy the ZIP file to the root of your Galaxy Nexus internal SD card and rename it to update.zip
3. Download and install the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1400871
4. Once you install the software and drivers for the Galaxy Nexus, start the Toolkit and select Option 9, to Boot to CWM Recovery without Permanently Flashing it.
5. Once inside CWM Recovery, you can choose to apply /sdcard/update.zip
6. Reboot when finished and enjoy!

You can go from the 4.0.2 Radios to the 4.0.4 Radios and bootloader with this CWM zip

you'll absolutely need to have the 4.0.2 radios (EK02/EK05) first, since the LTE radio is a patch file. Link below taken from Rootzwiki.
Download them here: http://synibox.info/synik4l/razorloves/4.0.2Radios.zip

What if I'm already on the previous leaked 4.0.4 radios? Do I flash the old ones first and then try this one?

Yes, go back to the 4.0.2 radios before flashing.
Also, the bootloader appears unchanged from the earlier 4.0.4 leak (PRIMELA03)
I dont know if this is any indicator but I just went from 4.0.2 and had -93dbm and did not move the phone once I flashed the new 4.0.4 radios and I am now showing -83dbm.
Lets just see how good the 3g/4g handoff is.
Is the zip supposed to be only 39.7MB?

Zip only like 3.5 mb big. Is that right?

RIght, it seems my phone is rejecting all and any 4.1 OTAs and ROMs.
I have tried every combination of stock takju, yakju, OTA, ROMs, recovery, radios the lot.
My phone applies the update ok then when it starts it just sits in a boot loop getting hotter and hotter.
Does anyone know what the hell is going on and what it could be?
Or has anyone else had this problem?
I can happily flash stock Google images (4.0.4), 4.x.x ROMs no problem it just seems to be JB.
Thanks

Why dont you tell us what exact phone you have, and walk is through a typical ROM installation
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Try locking then unlocking the bootloader (this should wipe all your data off the phone!). Then flash stock factory images via fastboot. If you still can't boot after doing that then something is wrong with your phone physically.
if you don't have the drivers and fastboot setup:
drivers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379875&highlight=naked+samsung
fastboot: http://www.modaco.com/topic/348161-01-feb-r4-superboot-rooting-the-gsm-lte-galaxy-nexus/ (just rename the fastboot and adb .exe's back to their original names w/o the -windows suffix).
factory images: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
edit: or use the toolkit that sarni84 mentioned below - if your not comfortable manually doing it via a command prompt.
Yes I would flash a stock image with the toolkit it should wipe everything it will suck but it seems like your problems are deeper. Then after flashing the 4.0.4 IMG use efrants guide to flash to new 4.1.1

I have a GSM Galaxy Nexus from the UK, the day i got it i flashed the factory 4.0.2 image from google to bring it to clean yakju.
When i download a ROM or anything firstly i check the md5, assuming thats all good i follow the install proceedure to the letter (wipe data, cache, dalvik if needed) I have flashed many ROMs on my Nexus as well as my previous S2 and Nexus S before that.
I have literally tried everything from clean install of factory 4.0.4 yakju and takju, lock and unlock boot loader, root and un-root, OTA and custom ROMs but nothing seems to work.
I have even tried restoring a friends nandroid of stock 4.1.1 android via CWM just to see if that works but nothing.
well... so why not stay with 4.0.4 yakju and just wait for stock ROM 4.1.1 yakju to be available and/or working OTA update? why going through all this hassle?

Sounds like something is broken or your nand flash is corrupted or bad. Probably best to RMA it considering you've tried everything that should have restored it if it wasn't broken.

I got the official OTA from our friends at google (i didn't do the framework services clear) it just came through.
i got the whole 145mb download, it verifies, reboots to the android guy with his front open, loads fine then on reboot, nothing, just the big X boot screen looping out.
It was after that didn't work that i explored the ROM route with the same results
Hi Guys,
I was on 4.1.2 Yakju but after flashing with 4.2 / radio, bootloader and image / Takju i have generic IMEI.
Can i restored or should i flash Yakju back to restore the IMEI..?

I was also on 4.1.2 Yakju and flashed (dirty) the 4.2 Takju factory image with no problem at all.
I don't know if this is relevant but did you do a wipe flash, dirty flash or the Nanroid method?
First of all, flash your phone using the oldest stock Takju build on the factory image page using the following method (replace the names with the ones from your build):
FrankNS said:
For update to 4.1.2 without losing any userdata or Apps do following:
Download "takju-jzo54k-factory-92830c0b.tgz" and unpack it.
Edit "flash-all.bat" with Text Editor and remove "-w" from it.
Delete "userdata.img" from "image-takju-jzo54k.zip".
Put phone in fastboot modus and then run "flash-all.bat".

I'm assuming you lost the IMEI, because you were running a manually unlocked phone.

The video has nothing to do with OS upgrades and has everything to do with the DoCoMo (SC-04D) version of the GNex which is carrier-locked.
I think my imei changed too... Can someone explain why everyone is scared of that? I just don't know ^^'
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Actually I've found that my factory directory was empty so gnex trough boot gat generic IMEI at data/radio/nv_data.bin.
After that I've found that I have seen backup made trough twrp recovery and from data.win file I've extract only nv_data.bin and md5 file. Then I've put it in directory factory and delete the old ones at data/radio/. Correct the perrmisions and reboot the phone. It takes data files from factory directory and copy itself to data/radio. Then everithing is fine I get my real IMEI. But I've found that I don't have so many files at factory directory and start another tread with that - how to restore that files? If someone knows let's explain.

if you have an unlocked bootloader you can flash the stock images via fastboot. don't flash all together. Flash the bootloader then radio finally the image(make sure you remove the userdata.img from the image.zip). this is exactly what I did and I now have 4.3 and didn't lose a single bit of my app data.

You're seriously asking this? I didn't know we had google employees in xda. Why not just download the flash able image from the Google developers website and save time from making a post that's useless. Also someone can't make an OTA. Only google can.

Yeah, I wait and I wait and I wait. =) That's why I asked about this method.
But also with the OTA, there is a chance that is will not work to flash since there might be some stuff I have done to the /system.
That was the case the for me with the 4.2.2 update, and I needed to use the Google Factory Image, and reset my internal memory and all that (I didn'n know about methods to NOT reset the internal memory then).
Strange there are no flashable .zip's that are complete stock with only some kind of root added. Just stock, that should work to update to next version, like 5.0, with OTA then. Or is there?
EDIT: I found this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2016452
Can someone please tell me if there was some new bootloader or radio or something like that, that I need to update more then using pure stock - odexed - UNTOUCHED?

Well, I used a factory reset tool to reset my rom back to stock. However, when I try to do a system update, it goes all the way to the end and says Error. Note that I can get into my tablet before I launch the update, but afterwards it just boots into recovery and I have to hard reset and reset my device using the aforementioned factory reset tool. Basically all I want to know is if it has anything to do with me recovering from the tool, or are OTA's iffy? I bought the device yesterday and I love it. I rooted it, unlocked the bootloader, etc. So yes it is modified. However It is not in anyway bricked. I just want to know if it's possible to do an official OTA from System Update, or do I have to use the one provided on the Index of the Nexus 7 Flo forum? Thanks for any help. Like I said, It's not bricked, I'm not complaining. Just a few questions

Well, without much detail about the error, it's hard to help. Are you just stock rooted with stock recovery? If so, you should be able to take an OTA no problem, although you'd lose root. But you can always flash supersu to get it back. Did you install a custom recovery to root? Or did you use a toolkit? Lots of questions. If you have a custom recovery, you'd have to fastboot flash the stock recovery from the factory image. If you still have the stock recovery and are just stock rooted, you've probably modified the system in some way. In that case, you can just fastboot flash the stock system image.

Stock Rooted with Stock Recovery. It downloads the OTA no issue, but when in download mode, it gets to the very end and says Error!. I used CFAutoRoot for rooting. I used fastboot to unlock the bootloader and install custom recovery.

Since you have stock recovery, there's probably an app that modified your system that's not allowing it to install the update because it detects a change in one of your system files. Fastboot flash the system image from the stock factory image. Then, it should update.

I'm assuming you're on 4.3 since you're trying to update? Either way, you can find the factory images here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images.
Just download the the one for the version you're currently running on your N7. MAKE SURE YOU DOWNLOAD THE CORRECT ONE. Then, just extract the files from the tar.gz file. There's another zip file in that tar.gz file. Extract that one, and there's a system.img file. Fastboot flash it in the bootloader.
