What's new in the VZW 4.0.4 IMM76K update? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Does anyone have a list of changes? Or even an unofficial list? So far there have been four 4.0.4 updates and it's getting a little confusing. Ignoring the first VZW leak (IMM30) there have been IMM76B, the first official 4.0.4, then IMM76I released only to GSM owners. I remember reading that the AOKP team said this was strictly a kernel update. Leankernel and faux kernel both integrated these changes.
Now there's the Verizon update that comes with a brand new build number, IMM76K. So now that everyone who wants to have had a chance to flash it, I ask you. What's different? Is the kernel version different? Any bug fixes? Or did they just feel like updating the build number for the hell of it because it's Verizon? lol
Right now I'm running AOKP Milestone 5 with leankernel 3.4.0 so I should have everything from IMM76I (if there's anything in there that even makes a difference for us LTE users). Is there anything in IMM76K that would be worth loosing all the AOKP stuff?

you're already on 4.0.4, VZW 4.0.4 is just the same GSM 4.0.4 its just been approved for the VZW network.
the important thing you need to get out of it is to flash its radios and bootloader [optional]
but at least the radios.

Oh yea forgot to mention the radios. I already flashed those on top of AOKP. I was previously running the radios from the last 4.0.4 leak and the bootloader is the same (PRIMELA03). I first flashed the factory 4.0.2 radios and bootloader just to be safe. Then I flashed the new radio and bootloader zip in clockwork mod.
I was asking if there's any changes in the actual ROM, aside from the radios and bootloader.

[Q] How to Know When Radios are Official Releases

I am still on the stock radio 4.0.2 and was considering going to 4.0.4. I am pretty sure that it is a leak just like 4.0.3 was.
My question is how and when are official radios released? Do they come packaged in with ota updates? Are they released by Google? And lastly is the 4.0.4 radio an official release or a leak?
Thanks!

If they're part of an OTA update then they become official I guess; however, the radios that are always floating around are proper radios that you can use. Just make sure you're flashing the correct one (LTE / GSM).
4.0.4 is a leak but it's official. (If yet, in theory, not a final "product").

[Q]questions on versions and builds

I'm unlocked and rooted and running stock 4.0.2 with ICL53F build. (CDMA Verizon)
Where does the 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 come from if Verizon has not released it? Leaks or from the GSM side?
Is there a thread that has all the versions and builds listed? I could not find it. If not can someone list them here please. I'd like to know the basics before tinkering.
People have built 4.0.3 ROMs from the updated source tree. They have built 4.0.4 ROMs because there was a leaked 4.0.4 OTA that was posted.
4.0.2 is the latest OTA for CDMA and GSM.

Where can I get the 4.03 update for cdma GNEX?

I need this update as 4.04 wasnt working how I think it should have.

There was 4.0.3 update, and the 4.0.4 update was just a leak (only official for GSM model). The only way to get 4.0.3 is from a custom ROM that was built from 4.0.3 source.
There was never a 4.0.4 leak for CDMA. Only the radio dropped.
4.0.4 is only OFFICIALLY on GSM...but the source dropping means we can rip literally everything from it but the radios on our CDMA version.
Here are two 4.0.4 stock rooted roms.

I can't seem to find any 4.0.3...
But what seems to be the problem that you're having with 4.0.4 that you didn't on 4.0.3?
My issue is volume+ doesnt work.
Just tested.
Works fine with Lean Kernel 3.2.1 stable...as long as the volume increase supposed to be pretty minimal. Never bothered with it before.
Try that?

if the 4.0.4 cdma roms are just official 4.0.4 gsm roms with radios ripped out, what is the difference between those two 4.0.4 roms you linked? also, what radios will I have if i flash one of those two roms in your post? i just got my gnex so i'm on stock 4.0.2 right now. i'm having some issues with my reception dropping and reconnecting after 5-10 seconds quite frequently and i'm not entirely sure what i should be trying to change to remedy the problem.
thanks for the insightful post

I'm not sure of the exact differences besides post date and developer.
Potentially none: Haven't scanned the threads.
These won't change your radios...
Here is a link:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/12864-radiosgalaxy-nexus-all-available-radiosbasebands/
These can be flashed in CWM.
I personally use the 4.0.4's.

You're mistaken. There was indeed a 4.0.4 CDMA leak back in February (Build IMM30B). I have been running said leak since it hit XDA. You had to be completely stock to flash it through stock recovery and it included new radios and a new bootloader.
The 4.0.4 CDMA radios running around were ripped from that same 4.0.4 CDMA leak.

I had completely forgotten somehow about Axiom...and whatever else...was running off of this leak.

what differences are there between the 4.0.4 CDMA leak youre referring to and the two 4.0.4 roms posted above, if any? is the 4.0.4 CDMA leak youre referring to an update or full ROM like above?
Full rom.
Just not compiled from source.
4.0.4 from source was released much more recently...
And Google provided "hundreds" of bug-fixes with it.
I'd recommend the Google-source base.

quick newbie question i suppose is kinda off topic.. i guess i'd just like some clarification. do the roms themselves contain the radios in them? for instance, if I flashed a custom rom, would my phone's radios be automatically changed to whatever that custom rom dev decided to use in his rom?
additionally, individual radios are also available to swap out without altering roms, correct?

Do I need to be running 4.0.x to run that 4.0.x radio? For example, if I try to run IMM30B, do I need to be on 4.0.4 ROM? also, what do people mean by make sure to check the MD5?
really appreciate all the help!!
No problem at all man.
And no.
Radios are interchangeable.
MD5 checks make sure you got a good download.
For example:
bd63961006aa65e88100017bab2c7fbb
http://synibox.info/synik4l/razorloves/4.0.4Radios.zip
If you download directly on your phone...quite a few applications can verify MD5's.
Root Explorer...Rom Toolbox...Pretty much any file manager.
Most you must long-press the file, and click "properties."
It should pop up a MD5: __________________________.
If it matches, it's safe to flash.
If not...delete it and re-download.
There are also quite a few free MD5 checkers available for your PC if you download on the PC and then transfer.

great will def check before flashing. lastly, my issue is this: i have strong signal where i live (i think its strong anyway, shows up as usually 3bar, never drops below, and a lot of times 4 full bars of 4G) but i notice it just drops all signal for about 5 seconds.. then my bars come back and a few seconds later my 4g bars come back after that.
what exactly is happening to my phone during this process? is this what people are referring to as hand off or is that simply changing between 4g to 3g, or 3g to 2g? is my issue something different, as in just dropping signal altogether?
finally, is there a specific radio you think i should try or could my problem possibly be a ROM problem? i'm on stock out of box 4.0.2 ROM and ICL53F

Official Jelly Bean update for my i9260 (Canada/Unlocked/GSM)

Hello all. I appologize for the silly question, or if it has been asked before, but here it is.
I just picked up a Galaxy Nexus online, brand new and unlocked. I got it, popped in my Virgin SIM, have it all ready to go and synced with my Google account, but I am stuck on ICS.
Here as some specs:
Android Version: 4.0.1
Baseband Version: I9250UGKK7
Kernel: 3.0.1-ge2433f2 [email protected] #1
Build Number: ITL41D.I9250UGKK7
If I go to System updates for the OTA update, it tells me that the sustem is up to date.
Is there any way to get the official update for my Nexus?
Also, the device is not rooted, and does not have an unlocked bootloader.
Please let me know, as I am very interested!
Thank you!

The GSM version of the Gnex is sold with different software variants in the although all look almost the same.
Only the Takju and Yakju variants are updated to Jelly Bean and that update is offered directly by google. All other variants (yakjuxw, yakjuxx and others) are updated by samsung.
You can, however, flash a yakju or takju factory image from google and then get all the updates fast but that means you'll need to unlock your bootloader, and flash that image. That will result in a complete wipe of your data, including the internal memory (where you keep your music, photos and so on). Make a backup and read the threads here in the forum.
Cheers!

Just to add to his statement, Canadian variant is yakjuux, which is soon to be updated to jelly bean. However, if you don't like slow update, just flash yakju or takju, didn't hurt to convert to them

UGKK7 is a radio, it is not a build. The build you are running is yakjuux ITL41F.

That is a radio, not a build. And yes, yakjuux will get a update pretty soon... There's already been a leaked version on xda right now (thank you efrant!).
If you are willing to wipe your phone once to unlock your bootloader, I day flash to yakju or takju, since these variants gets the updates much faster than yakjuux variant.

Ah, I see. Thanks a lot!
I guess I will wait and for Samsung releases the JB update for yakjuux ITL41F.
Since you mentioned that someone recieved a JB yakjuux build, then maybe Samsung will release it in a couple of weeks?
Can't wait for it to happen soon!

Even though Google devices are kings in the Android world, WHY THE H£LL DOES GOOGLE F-UPS ALL OF THEIR NEXII!?!?!?!?
Is it hard to say, "WE ARE GONNA BE IN CHARGE OF UPDATES!!! SO SHUT UP VERIZON, SPRINT, CANADIAN CARRIERS, AND EVERYONE ELSE FOR THEIR OWN BUILDS & CARRIER CONTROL!!!!"
The only success seems to be the Nexus 7 since they can't run on a carrier, leaving it with only one version of the OFFICIAL software.

I agree with you on Google and Samsung messing up on the variants... Really stupid of them if you ask me, but I personally can care less cuz we could always convert it.

[Q] Sprint Gnex - CM10 Radio still FD02

I'm kind of confused why the Sprint Galaxy Nexus, toroplus, is still using the FD02 baseband instead of the OTA JB FH05 version in CM10, even as of today's nightly.
I'm not trying to complain or anything, since I know nothing about programming, but why wouldn't they merge the official JB radio into CM10? It's been quite a while since it got released... Are there issues, or just no benefit? I'm confused.
Radios are independent of Roms. If you want the newest radios, you have to flash them yourself.

are you familiar with using fastboot to flash .img files?
Ah, I wasn't aware that radios weren't included in roms. That makes sense. Yeah, I'm familiar with fastboot. Thanks!
