Develop Bugs

For those that have the samsung build, did you get the 4.0.2 update?

Still haven't got mine. I have the samsung build (forgot what the code is yakjuw?)
Anyways, I really hope we get the updates everyone else is getting because I'm not going to flash to stock google build just to get updates.

I have the samsungbuild (yakjuxw) and i haven't got it yet (norway)

Well I sure hope we get it. That was one of my worries when an XDA forum member first found out there were different builds. Hope we still get updates quickly like the google ones.

I haven't gotten it yet on my yakjuux.

Is 402 for GSM or LTE? I thought it was LTE only.

We will get it, but those sent from Google will get it everything from 1 day to 1-2 weeks before us i've heard.
They are planing to release 4.0.3 soon too, so we should get 4.0.2 maybe tomorrow if we are luckey.

Both. But the OTA for GSM started happening today and LTE had the 4.0.2 OTA happening yesterday.
The stock image files were released for both (4.0.2) yesterday.

Anyone yet?

Also, does anyone know if Google responded about this? We have a nexus...we should get updates fast and first like everyone else. Ridiculous.

Article posted on Android Central about the app the person developed. The "update" at the bottom of the article sheds some light.

My GSM Gnex came with Samsung build and I didn't get v4.0.2 since yesterday. That's why I flashed to yakju. Loving it so far!

@ajftl There's this nice little app in the market called GN Official Update Checker that tells you your build and if it's updated directly by Google.

Question from a nexus noob

This is my first nexus device, ive owned several other droids but now that i tried the nexus and all its features and advantages, i love it, so much that im not buying anything else till the next one comes out
So the question:
Ive heard jelly bean is coming(i hope it comes for this too), so if it does come, how do i update it? Is the whole thing going to be pushed OTA too? Or do i have to use Kies like with other samsungs? Or do i have to flash an image too?
That thought Its been bugging me for days since i switched to yakju
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus

Its been advertised that the galaxy nexus will be the first phone with jelly bean. This means the GSM nexus straight from Google. Cdma should see it in a few weeks in a form of a custom rom possibly. Usually in the form as an OTA or a hopefully a direct update link... like I have seen from my previous phones.
Sent From My Sprint Galaxy Nexus

Thru OTA just like the rest of the updates although I'm pretty sure the moment it comes out we will get the link at once for manual flashing. Kies won't work because that's only for samsung proprietary products. Ours may be made by samsung but it's still a Google phone
Still on stock Nexus and loving it!

Kies is Samsung phones with Touchwiz only.

IT will be just an introduction and then over a few weeks/months it will get rolled out.

Despite have flashed yakju, you will likely not be the first person here on XDA to get the update. As soon as we get the download link (from the first person to post it here), all you have to do is download it from, and follow the instructions in, this thread. Otherwise, just wait for the update to come to your device OTA (although this could take days or weeks after the first person to get it).

The non-yakju non-GSM models will take quite a bit longer to be updated, as Sprint and Verizon have to go through their verification and testing.

You'll be notified in the status bar when your phone gets picked to receive it OTA. You will get it.

Remember, updates are rolled out in batches.

Have anyone here still not received OTA?

Hi I am an Asia user and have an Asia version nexus. Yesterday I tried to update my cellphone but showed failure. I don't know why. is this a hardware issue or the Asia area is still not on the OTA list.
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using XDA

What failure are you getting? And also what OTA are you waiting for/hoping to receive?

I guess he means JB 4.1
Dude this update hasnt been released yet, mid of the month hopefully
Yesterday I also tried with my GTab 10.1 to manual update, I also got some error messages that the server wasnt reachable or something similar. I waited just a couple of hours and then it worked and told me "no update for you". Guess it was hammered by 7.7 users Just try again

Isn't the Asian one the one still on 4.0.2 or something?

Well I'm a Saudi Arabian model and I m still on 4.0.2.....

I don't understand why people are hesitant on upgrading their OS manually if they are eagerly waiting for the newest one. There are no drawbacks and you can go to your "official" version any time you want for warranty purpose.

Canada is still on 4.0.1 volume fix, since the Canadian build (yakjuux) didn't receive any updates since. The 4.0.2 update was pushed in February/March but due to NFC issues and Play store issues it was pulled, and never re-initiated.
So Canada is on 4.0.1, yakjuxw is on 4.0.4 along with the Google builds (yakju and takju), and the remaining builds are on 4.0.2.

Imagine you buy any product for it's one specific advertised feature. You pay full price and then surprise: that one feature is just not there. You can easily fix it yourself, but wouldn't you be angry? Everybody knows there are options to flash whatever you want manually, but the point is you were lied to and paid for something that you didn't get.

OK. I am not confident yet to update manually. Have spent the last couple days learning more about this.
My main concern is that when jellybean is released officially. (I know you guys probly have it but I like things to be easy, still find rooting etc to be rather daunting)
My phone isn't much but its rather special

As for the GSM non-yakju/non-takju builds, yakjuux (Canada), yakjujp (Middle East), and yakjuxe (Russia) are on 4.0.1/4.0.2. The remainder have had the 4.0.4 OTA either rolled out, or is in the process of being rolled out.

The process of flashing a yakju or takju ROM (including 4.1) is significantly easier than you might think. No "rooting" required.
Take a look at the flash link in my signature. Part of the first post will show you how to unlock your bootloader, and once that is done, the second post will tell you how to get the official 4.1 build (which can receive OTA updates).

No word from Verizon. Have been running CM10 on CM nightlies .just reverted back to 4.0.4 in case they release this month. But if not I'll re-unlock and re-root and just wait for keylimepie. But hope to get it within the month or I'm done re-waiting for ota.

Verizon doesn't push the updates for Toro. Google does. Big Red does, however, need to sign off on the update prior to it rolling out, especially given that it will include new basebands. It also bears mentioning that Toro has, at times, been first to receive an update

Yes, that is correct. My point is, Verizon is the rate limiting step in the process, and if OP really wants Jelly Bean, then he might as well flash it himself. After all, isn't that the beauty of a Nexus?

Use the leaked update http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30846512#post30846512

Only custom rom that is running the leaked "customized" version of the verizon rom is thuderstick red Bull. It's a nice, verizon friendly rom

Only rom that is Verizon friendly? I've ran several roms. The toro roms work. Some have issues that some do not. Bugless beast works, so does CM nightlies. There are many flavors of jb just try and use the one that works for you. Its not a contest. Its your phone play, test, find the rom that works best for you. Saying one developer is better than the other. Its all user choice. And developers deserve appreciation its their work that make customizing possible.

I was speaking to vzw tech support today. Direct quote, almost verbatim : "I was just checking on the status of the software update that addresses the issues you're having with data connectivity. The reason it took so long is I was checking several third party websites. I wasn't able to find any information about a release date..."
This translates roughly to "I had to search Google, because Verizon is retarded. "

I never said that there is ONLY one Verizon Friendly rom out there, there's almost 100 of them that work perfectly fine. There's plenty of "toro" roms out there, but the specific question was stability and if he didn't want to veer too far away from Stock, while still maintaining a working set of Verizon apps. I use the Verizon apps as well, but it's always a manual process and when it breaks there's always a procedure.

I too like the Verizon data usage widget comes in handy. I totally agree that there are alot of roms that the app gave the log in issue before Verizon's gn update. But like I posted in other posts I reverted back to the k ota. But after today that sprint is updating today we will be soon to follow. So I will half fast for a week or 2 more before I never look back on OTA again. :banghead:

I was ticked for the slap in the face from Verizon. Letting Sprint beat our phones to JB. So I changed my mind on waiting for the ota. Loaded JRO03O. Seems solid and fast. More bars in radio than I ever had both WiFi and lte/cdma. I can say this my last damn contract!

Not gonna ask for a specific ETA but was just wondering how long a process it is to extract the radios. Again, I am fine with however long it may take and do not need a time that they will be posted. Just wondering if it's something that can be done quick for you guys or if it will take awhile.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

obviously not an official answer, but it seems that they cannot extract the radio from the phone, and so they are reverting to 4.1 and hoping that he gets the OTA again so they can extract it before the ota is flashed?

Sounds like that is the plan. But this raises a good point, especially since we don't know how the test ota process works, and thus don't know for sure that he would receive the ota again. Maybe it would make sense to first get it rooted and then pull the radios via the gnex toolbox (which is probably easier and quicker than doing it manually) and maybe also pull a full system image or create an image. zip of the stock ROM through CWM.
That said, these guys are doing this out of pure goodwill, and they should do whatever works best for them and doesn't interfere with their lives. Just happy they gave us the news

The OTA "should" be linked to a device ID. When the public OTA rolls out, blocks of devices are updated at various intervals (which is why some get the OTA later than others). The server housing the OTA at present should have a block of test device IDs authorized to download. If this holds true, then he should be able to grab the update again if running JRO03O. Key word is "should". :fingers-crossed:
