I see the last thread on this topic is 2 months old. Has anyone heard if 4.0.4 is official or not? I'm stock and unrooted and have a feeling that if I open Pandora's box, the official update will come out soon after.

There are two VZW 4.0.4s, both are "leaked". The most recent one is believed to be the official release candidate, it has been found running on some store display units.

There was another 4.0.4 leak that never went out widespread. You're gonna have to still wait for it if you want it OTA.

Couldn't find the thread while scrolling through numerous threads, so many have been written. I currently own the SGN with official 'yakju' build from Google, ICS 4.0.1.
It is well known the OTA 4.0.2 ICL53F has been rolling out in Europe. I am however still on 4.0.1 (ITL41F) and selecting software update showing there are no updates available.
Anybody already received the update to 4.0.2 (with a fair few bug fixes) in the Netherlands? I am starting to think we do get our updates fairly slow in the Netherlands.
I live in Sweden and have a British (UK) handset bought from Clove in the early days of December.. I'm still on 4.0.1 (ITL41F) as well! Hopefully we will start seeing 4.0.2 or 4.0.3 rolling out soon
No update here. Yakju build..

I got the 4.0.2 update on my NL purchased GN (studentmobiel.nl) almost as soon as I took it out the box... in fact I got the notification before I even had a chance to root and unlock it, this was way back before Christmas (I got one of the first batch of deliveries).
I'd heard they've pulled the update due to some issues with the build. Probably releasing 4.0.3 soon, though
You don't need root to install a stock image but I think the bootloadee must be unlocked.

Hmm this is one of the reactions I was hoping for 'cause I too ordered it at studentmobiel.nl and nothing yet!
I haven't rooted the GN yet but am waiting for the FOTA. I know updates are spread over a period of time but still odd. You think it's related to a specific provider?

If Google fixed something in 4.0.3, it should be released with newer built number. 4.0.4? Or 4.1 that was discussed a bit lately?
My only hope is battery life improvement and faster performance

I believe they fixed a few things in our build 4.0.1 that resulted in 4.0.2. I don't know exactly what the changes are for 4.0.3 although I'm running 4.0.3 on my SG S 1 but that is custom CM9.
I have to say my battery is great on our SGN and it's really fast in it's performance, especially if I compare it to SGS 1 with ICS. Ofcourse we have a way better processor, memory etc. in our SGN.

That's weird. I'm pretty sure i have had my GNex in the first "Studentmobiel.nl" Delivery Batch and was delivered on the 8th of December.
Untill now, i did NOT receive any OTA Update so i'm still running 4.01 Yakju.
The phone came SIM-locked Free, in combination with Vodafone SIM. But i'm still using my KPN SIM and did not even used my Vodafone SIM-card yet.
What could be the difference? You do have received the OTA Update!
Tnx

No mate, I live in Belgium and have the GSM version, still on 4.0.1 ! I heard that 4.0.3 is much faster !

Not sure.
Remember the 4.0.3 update was halted - I'm not sure about the 4.0.2 update.
I had a VF SIM in when I got my OTA but like yours mine was SIM free and unlocked.
But really, just put a custom 4.0.2 or 4.0.3 rom on there and be done with it...

So you now running a Custom Rom? Which one and what are your experiences?
I've learned that Unlocking the Bootloader will wipe all my data?
Can you, besides having Root, explain the advantages between Custom and Stock Rom?
Much appreciated......

Yes, I'm running MCR Ir8 (Modaco Custom ROM) which is actually a tuned version of stock, not a full custom ROM. As a result it's very, very stable. It's based on 4.0.2 which is Google's latest release for the GN.
If you run a custom ROM you can even get a 4.0.3 one which is compiled directly from Android source code. But there's a reason Google hasn't released 4.0.3 yet via OTA so you can read into that what you will - 4.0.3 is cutting edge now but may not be 100% stable.
Nevertheless, I used the 4.0.3 AOKP ROM for a bit and thought it was great.
Custom ROM's tend to be more feature rich than stock ROM's including many settings that people feel are "missing" from stock roms... some of which are mods that can be applied to a stock rom but others are changes that go much deeper. For example CyanogenMod, by far the most popular custom rom in Android world, has and additional 30 or so options you can set that you can't do with a stock rom - from memory management to user interface to all sorts.
Yes you will wipe your phone if you unlock the bootloader. There is a way to backup beforehand using ADB, I think there's a guide here somewhere??? But in my mind it's worth the pain, you only have to do it once.
Best way to discover the wonders of a custom rom is to install it and have a play... I'd recommend either MCR (very close to stock) or AOKP (bleeding edge 4.0.3).
I bought a galaxy nexus from newegg and checked the version to be Yakjuzs. It loads an Asian language by default when the phone is switched on for the first time
I still have the 4.0.1
Basebad Version - I9250XXKK1
Build Number - ITL41F.I9250ZSKKB
Has anybody with similar specifications received the 4.0.2 update?
I do the *#*#2432546#*#* several times a day but no luck!
I'm currently using the phone only on WiFi and without a SIM card.
same build, no update

I doubt it. The 4.0.3 update isn't large enough for a large scale deployment, but really...buying a Nexus phone and not rooting it is like buying a Ferrari but only going 20MPH..
odd, my yakjuzs nexus came with 4.0.2 and baseband version - I9250XXKK6 out of the box, meaning there is actually an upgrade out there i guess.
IMO 4.0.2 is not worth it, neither is waiting for the official 4.0.3 roll out - you're better off sparing yourself the wait unlocking/rooting then flashing a custom 4.0.3 rom. the difference is so huge that it's embarrassing, frankly speaking

Agreed. 4.0.3 is soo much better and smoother than 4.0.2 theres no point in waiting for an OTA upgrade
Whats bugging me is that the Nexus S ALREADY has an official stock 4.0.3 rom and the motorola xoom has an OFFICIAL IML77 Rom out right now.
Google should be putting out the latest builds to the nexus before anyone else gets it.

The Nexus S OTA has been stopped, and the Xoom ICS OTA is a beta build you have to sign up for.
Google will push the 4.0.3 OTA when its ready. If you're ancy you can just root. But I understand if you dont want to.

Excuse me, but does anybody know what was the reason for stoping OTA for SNS? I flashed it manually same second I saw info on the interwebs and it runs pretty good. No big complains.
My gNexus is ("was", 'used to be') a yakjuzs ...
After reading about the lack of OTA I downloaded the update from the official google website and installed it 20 minutes or so ...
Works nice but I couldn´t find any improvements ... people say that franco's 4.0.3 (#12) changes the device from water to wine ...
If you decide to update to 4.0.2 yakzu, just one advice: mine got stuck in a loading loop forever ... until I did a factory reset (from the fastboot mode).

Updates for Chicago
Does anyone know when T-Mobile will push out ANY update in the Chicago area?
I am still running the original UVALEM main code and UVLH2 base band (I updated this one from another thread on here).
They have released T999UVALI5 over the air update as of Sept. 10, 2012.
T-Mobile customer service doesn't even know what updates are available (or even that there is an update available) most of the time.
I understand wanting bug fixes pushed out to the customer but push them out to customers within a reasonable time frame for crying out loud.
I bet the Jelly Bean OTA will be being pushed in some areas before they get around to pushing out the UVALH2 main update.

It is highly possible that either your phone has somehow been inadvertently missed or excluded. Or it could be that you've flashed a new baseband and/or other mods.
I would recommend just using kies or odin to get the UVALH2 update.
Also, UVALH2 is the ONLY update that has been released by T-mobile. Everything else is leaked and can ONLY be used by flashing in stock recovery.
UVALI5 was not released. It was leaked and will never be had by the Software Update service from Tmobile. (Only if they are completely satisfied and make no major changes would they MAYBE release it...doubtful though)

Hi,
I am from India and using Gnex ("yakju") unlocked phone with JB 4.1.1 version. I am planning to upgrade my phone with 4.1.2 build since it is released. But the OTA update on my phone does not show any new version and still says "Phone is up to date".
Can someone please suggest me what could be the reason here.
Thanks a lot for your time.
Bhupinder
First, your location really has nothing to do with the OTA. If you're running yakju or takju, the software update will come to you quickly regardless of where you happen to live at that time.
As far as the 4.1.2 OTA goes, very very very few people are actually seeing it. I find it hard to believe that its even rolling out officially yet. If you're anxious for 4.1.2 you can flash the stock image, which is available. Otherwise, just wait for it to show up and notify you that it's ready to download. It will come, there's nothing special you need to do.
Thanks a lot for clearing my doubts. I was under the impression that 4.1.2 is released via OTA.
And surely I will wait for the release to be available by Google.

Correct me if i'm wrong but I couldn't find any significant changes for Gnex on 4.1.2 changelogs...
I've got an AT&T Note II that had Clean Rom on it, but I really wanted to get 4.3. Finally heard that the official OTA had been released about a week ago (mid December), so had the bright to return my phone to stock and do the OTA. Returned the phone to stock (4.1.1) and checked for updates...was very excited that an update was discovered and downloaded. But when all was said and done, it was the 4.1.2, not the 4.3 I expected. I've tried to again check for updates, but my phone tells me I have the "most current version". Phone is no longer rooted...Kies is no help..tells me I can't update this device via kies.
What am I missing here????? I'm pretty much a noob, though have tried a few custom roms. Can't say I'm particularly adventurous...I thought if I could at least get 4.3 I'd be REASONABLY current with the roms.
Thx much!!!

You might have to downgrade from leaked 4.3 to 4.1.2 and then use the MA4 to MK6 file through ODIN.
