Is it VZW/Sprint? If so, it might be months until you get it.. that is if they approve of the update anyways. GSM you will get it mid july.. rooted.. you have it right now.

How can I check it? I haven't got even to 4.0.4 so it makes sense for me that I wont be updated..
If I root my phone, will my sms(which arent sycronised) deleted?and what about the rest of my information on the phone? can it damage my phone?

Rooting and flashing ROM's can damage your handset if you don't know what you're doing. Most flashing errors can be erectified though.
Where are you located in the world?
Verizon and Sprint are US based LTE handsets, they arent sold outside the states since they cant work on other LTE networks. Take a picture of your "About phone" page (screenshots can be taken with pressing "Volume down + Power" simultaniously.

Im from Israel.. so its not Verizon probably..

i dont get this update, that what makes me worry.
when I press the' check now' button it ALWAYS says:
your system is updated
last update checked at {this time}

Jellybean isn't officially updated yet mate. You won't get the update for at least two weeks if you have a stock phone. Those of us running it all have rooted phones or were at google i/o and got given jellybean phones.

Have you tried to clear Google framework data and the try to check for updates again?
Swiftkey'ed on my CM9 Galaxy Nexus

I understand your confusion. A Nexus phone should get the update as soon as possible.
I just updated my phone yesterday, thanks to efrant how to guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1419170&highlight=yakjuzs
the problem is so many builds, I learned that yakju build is directly supported by google. However, today I learned that the build takju got the Jellybean update. Question what about the rest, yakjuux, yakjuzs, yakjujp.....etc.? I don't know, only android team knows the update process, so I hope they post something about that in google+, but I doubt that.
We have to wait, either get it OTA(which my never happen) or flash the update manually as soon google post the update URL's specified for your phone build.
If you have quadrant standard installed you can see your build under system information.

yakjujp flash with Factory Images yakju

Hi all,
I just have bought a galaxy nexus, but The device product is: yakjujp.
(I searched in the Internet, but I can't find where is it come from.) If I flashed this device with factory image yakju , is it OK? (can that image work with my phone?) I'm a newbie, please help me.
PS: Why I must do that? because this device still on 4.0.2 and no system update available. I want to upgrade to 4.0.4 and JB in the future
Thanks all,

Will work just fine.
Follow efrant's thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1769301
and after getting to 4.0.4
install the OTA jellybean update or if you cant wait,install CWM and then follow efrant's guide on OTA update using CWM.
And you are set.
I did the same from yakjujp. am now running 4.1.1 stock jellybean,rooted.

There are actually multiple options on this forum that can assist you. Since you labeled yourself as a newby, I'd suggest Mark Skippen's Galaxy Nexus toolkit option (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392310) . It does all of the steps in efrant's post, but in a easy gui format. I'd recommend efrant's steps if you want to know what goes on behind the scenes and feel pretty comfortable with doing some manual coding.
Good luck!

I don't know. But I flashed nexus S with fast boot and it worked. But galaxy nexus is the first time. I'm not sure anything. If you have experience, please help me

I manually flashed from yakjuux 4.0.1 to yakju 4.0.4 and then received the 4.1.1 OTA immediately afterwards. I had absolutely zero experience with anything of this type and it went smoothly. I read the instructions over a bunch of times before proceeding though. The hardest part was installing the fastboot drivers and I managed to get it to work on the second try. Not very complicated at all.

The extension jp most probably means Japan :cyclops:; It's a localized build for GSM maguro model, released by Samsung, not by Google.
So your first option is obvious - wait patiently for Samsung release of OTA of 4.0.4 or 4.1.1 for yakjujp
I've got OTA upgrade to 4.0.4 for my GN maguro/yakjuwz 2 weeks ago, so at some point your build will be upgraded as well
The option for impatient (most of us, otherwise why would we be looking on this forum in the first place) would be to flash Google OTA build yakju on your phone.
I've found at least few threads on this site describing the procedure, you can find it HERE, but better HERE or HERE
I was thinking about flash using currently not existing option :-(
I've found this great Gnex Toolkit that able to do many wonderful things to all GN models.
IMHO, it can be ultimate tool for all GN models, including those with non-Google build, all the flavors yakju(xx)
It is already have an option "Flash Google Stock Image to phone", which is exactly the option we need
But tool currently supports only Google build yakju and I am too n00b to post my comments in DEV thread

Use the guide that Srirama said in post #2. It is exactly the same process as flashing the Nexus S with fastboot. (The guide just looks long, because I broke it down into very simple steps in the hopes the people might learn something and NOT use toolkits.)

Hey sadboy7489, reply buddy.. did u upgrade?? did u take backup of your stock ROM??

yakju is Google's International GSM version..
yakjujp is for Middle East, Africa and Asian countries - region based
It gets updates from Samsung not from Google..
So yakjujp updates are always delayed because Samsung is responsible for yakjujp version..
Any one can install yakju build on yakjujp because its just a build nothing else ..
so it'll become International GSM version and works in 200+ countries and has additional languages support + regular updates from google..
Even my Galaxy Nexus is yakjujp but I installed yakju 4.0.4 then updated to 4.1.1 :good:
Enjoy !

i tried. and failed. couldnt get the cmd prompt to recognize fastboot.

OK.
Is it rooted?
Does it have any missing apps?
What ROM are you running?
The more details the better. If you are missing apps well that is your problem. Flash a stock ROM and boom. Then update.

Can't update my galaxy nexus

Ive been trying to update my phone to jelly bean for months now. My phone keeps telling me i have an update and when i press it this is what i get: ( click on attachment) please help

In this case, the device doesn't have the correct baseband version installed for that specific OTA. It's looking for FD02, it seems. That's not an international bb, I'm sure of that. You need to supply more details, settings > about, carrier

Can you tell me another thing Is it safe to flash TAKJU 4.2.1 over YAKJU 4.2.1??

Read all efrant's directions thoroughly first, perhaps several times to be sure you understand the process. Without CWM, i believe your most important step would be "fastboot erase cache". If you have CWM, there's no harm in wiping cache and dalvik. I would even do a factory reset first to be safe. Yes, there are ways to preserve your data, if you already have any, but reading for comprehension is key.
