Below is the official update to FD02 for the Sprint Galaxy Nexus
Also if you want to keep root instead of having to reroot the device use
http://goo.gl/qSi6e "OTA RootKeeper" I can confirm that it works after
the new update is installed.
Here is the a link to the download http://db.tt/FZ8IEKkw
Attached are new speeds with the new radio images.
This is at my office and yesterday these speeds were
download: ~.22Mbps
upload: ~.40Mbps

I have the new FD02 update from Sprint that I pulled from cache folder when it was downloaded before I ran the update.
Where is a good place to place it so people can get it. It is almost 16MB. Any suggestions

Was trying to get the file to my dropbox but it is hard to type and transfer a file at the same time
So this will break root. This is a new radio and hope it will make things faster Can wait to apply this via fastboot.

It does seem to be faster. Yes you will lose root but you can save it.
I do not know if it can be re-rooted but i dont see why it should
not be just as easy as before.
i was going through the updater-script file in this update and it looks like it does
more than just update the radios.

Yes, it seems to patch several other files.
Patch other files. What do you see that it updates? Anything worth going back you guys think?
This answered my question:
http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/01/sprint-galaxy-nexus-updated/
It looks like a bunch of system files, the recovery, and the radios.
I am no expert at edify scripts but I know that it does more than the radios.
Hopefully qbking will just post flashable radios and not the whole update.

radio-cdma flashed flawlessly, radio.img, not so much. It gives a write failed error. Strange. I tried renaming it to "radio.img" without the extra ".p" and still no dice.
EDIT: Wait...do I need to reboot between flashed? Maybe I'm botarded. Rebooting and trying again.

Install OTA, then download and install busy box and superuser app. Then use Odin to flash rogue stock ek02 kernel/recovery in development section. That should be all you need to do, to gain root.

Check the tread in development that says [dump]
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
first of all the update is not going to flash if you are rooted.
second if somehow you flash it just root like you did the first time.
updates don't wipe data but if you try to flash it on a rooted/non stock phone you are going to have to wipe and reflash anyway.
Hmm, hopefully I get this updated soon. Thanks for the help so far
Ok, I've been reading in the threads mentioned in the posts above and still feel somewhat confused. Apparently in the thread with "dump" in the title, I have to be on a stock EG30 "odexed" rom to flash the EK02 update.
I am currently on stock EG30 "deodexed" rooted rom. So do I need to first revert back to a stock odexed EG30 rom? Then odin the ek02.tar? Then find a root method?
So they've started releasing the OTA?
Got my notice this morning
Someone posted something in the sprint website on the link below. Looks like it started release yesterday...

Man why dont you just update with one of the rooted roms in the forum instead of dealing with all this what should I do and I am confused. All you need is here and if you are rooted already why are you worrying about the OTA..
I believe FOTA apk will stop you from seeing that. There is a disable update script you can run that freezes that(pm disable com.samsung) link here ). I mean way more options than what to do is says I have the update

Don't believe this is an update. This is simply the stock firmware that came with the phone. It might come in handy if/when something goes terribly wrong and a backup won't fix your issue.

I'm not exactly sure if this is the stock tar or not.....
BUT if it is, you should be able to just restore your stock nandroid and pull out the recovery file and put that in the pda slot of odin.
Or just put the entire tar in the pda slot... looking for some confirmation on this

I'm just concerned about whether that Device Status field in the About Phone settings is something that is stored underneath the OS and can't be changed once you flash something. This would be an easy indicator that the phone has been messed with and clear void of warranty for normally clueless reps even if you do a return to stock type flash. Before I rooted, it said "Factory Mode“ but now says "Modified“. I haven't touched anything else other than flashing CWM and Superuser.
Put together a video showing how you can manually update to LJC from LJ1 on the Sprint Galaxy Note II. Hopefully this helps people out, as I've been getting a lot of questions about it.

There are currently no methods to update using TWRP or stock recovery with root. I switched back to stock recovery from TWRP using the GN2 Toolkit, and it didn't work. I've also seen people having trouble updating even after unrooting, uninstalling Busybox, and going back to stock recovery, so we're just going to have to wait.
Decent video. For the record. You can do this without a PC (the video says you cannot). Just download the file to your phone's SD card from his link.

I currently on ics stock phone but rooted so I can delete bloat. I am currently downloading jelly bean from samsungs website. http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SGH-T999 . I don't want to brick my phone or anything and I am not sure about how to go about this. What is the best way to go about this? Can I just simply open odin and load jelly bean in there and install? How should I go about this? Thanks in advance.
Also when I get jelly bean on will my cwm files work or do I need to wait for a new version to come out?
Flash the stock rooted version:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1991255
Otherwise you'll need to flash back to stock. Then update
You can't update with a custom recovery like cwm.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
I think thats already what I got. I don't have any custom roms or anything. Just stock with root for my current setup. 4.0.4. Can I just upgrade straight to jelly bean then without wiping my data?
In your second post you mention your cwm files. Do you have a custom recovery?
How did you root might be a better question?
Just rooted you can update, but will probably lose root
If you have clockwork (cwm) or twrp recovery the update won't flash

How did you get Odin to do that? I have CWM installed and everytime I reboot the phone (Home, Vol Up, Power) CWM comes up but Odin doesn't recognized the phone as being connected. It will only recognize my phone when it's booted normally into Android.
All I did was follow the steps in the 2nd link I posted. It worked and I just did an update through the settings menu.

It should, though I would recommend a different way.
You can get the root66 firmware from the FW thread linked in my sig. Its just the stock fw, but prerooted.
Flash it via odin and youre done!
If you dont want to mess with the fw you can use the method you posted, but id get up to date files first.
I havent watched it in some time but I think you can get most of what you need from the fw thread, post 2. If you need help finding something else just let us know.

If you're doubting the update don't, the OTA process involves sending the update 1 by 1 randomly so that everyone doesn't download the file at once and overload the download servers, causing bad downloads, and bricking devices and in the end you'll get unhappy customers.

If he loses root or custom recovery how's he gonna restore ? I'm thinking of trying it as well . I've made a nandroid , just wondering if I'd be able to get it restored complete with root and custom recovery ? Thanks

Tl;dr custom recovery stayed, root obtained by flashing supersu.
Last night I used fastboot to flash system user data radios and boot images from the 4.2.1 factory image. Flashed the 4.3 zip in twrp. Made a nandroid of stock, then flashed supersu zip. All is good

I tried flashing the zip in TWRP and it failed. Not sure why maybe a bad download.

Nandroid backup just in case.

I went ahead and flashed it, in CWM, and everything is working great. Had to reflash Superuser, in this case, Koush's Superuser, and everything is fine.

I renamed the file update.zip and tried this, and no go, what am I doing wrong, could it be due to being on a 4.2.2 ROM?

I tried a fresh download using CWM this time and it still failed. What am I missing?

I went and restored a backup of Stock 4.2.1, and just flashed over that. No wiping or anything. Do you have a Stock backup?

Nope, any chance on flashing a stock rooted ROM perhaps.

You could try it. My Stock ROM was rooted, and I all I had to do was reflash my Superuser zip after I let it boot up once, just to make sure the update took properly.

Download the file from the linked thread there for our device and then pick which instruction set applies to you from the second post in that thread. Since I'm leaving Sprint and giving my Gnex to my two year old, I unrooted, returned to stock, and locked the device. After following the directions for adb sideload, everything came up great.
