Sprint OTA update issues - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

So when i got my galaxy nexus about 3 weeks ago I rooted and unlocked the boot loader but stuck with the stock rom. My radio was FC12 for both CDMA and LTE. I didn't have any issues with those radios. My through put was around .6 - .7mbps down. I kept getting the message to do the OTA upgrade which was annoying so i manually flashed FD02 via fastboot. My throughput went to crap and was only getting like .02mbps. So this is what i did. I flashed back to stock recovery, flashed back to FC12 relocked my boot loader and did a full stock restore via the android OS. I still cannot install the OTA upgrade. Is there something I am missing? My plan was to go totally stock grab the updates and then reroot and unlock again.
Thanks and sorry if this has been asked but i did searched and couldn't find a similar situation.
also for a good funny for ya i forgot that unlocking again wipe everything so i lost all my pics and movies and backups That's what happens when you work on stuff with 2 rug rats running around and bugging you when you are doing something.

Wrong section this is for development please ask questions in q and a.
I think there is a stock fd02 tar that you need to flash through Odin... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1620036
You could have reflashed the fc12 radios through fastboot.

Flash this to update the radios, then flash this to update the system files.

Thats the radio update that I used originally. Also I did flash back to the FC12 i just don't want to keep seeing the OTA message. Also were did we get this other update file? I'm not a big fan of putting .zips and custom ROM's on my phone since you don't really know whats in them...sorry in my line of work its something people rarely thing about when just willy nilly installing things to their phones/computers.

Well if you don't want to do any of what they told you to do, I would think your only other option is taking the phone in to Sprint and having them flash for you.

LOL because if it does have stuff containing "harmful" things... they will be sued. I've never had any issue flashing ANYTHING to my phone. I guess your one of those people who think somebody is wiretapping your LAN line huh? or your internet and now your phone?.... seriously we are only providing help... take it or leave it.

I made it. If you don't want to flash it, don't.
It's taken from the OTA, with the updater script modified such that it doesn't check or update the bootloader, recovery, or radios. The stock script won't work if a) you've unlocked your bootloader, b) done anything to your recovery, or c) don't have the original radios. Hence, your update is failing. That file won't.
I made it because I was tired of seeing the OTA update message. Your options are to flash that zip, or ODIN and lose all your data. It doesn't matter to me which you choose.

Not Development!

[Q] 2.3 ota + root

ok my friend made me root his evo so he can tether while he went on vacation like 2 months ago. now he doesn't care if he is rooted or not and since the update is coming i figured i should ask this.
ok so ive googled, googled, and googled some more and i can't find a straitup f***ing answer to this. since my friend is rooted but still on the stock rom, if he accepts the 2.3 ots will he:
1. loose root and be stock on stock 2.3 rom
2. turn his pretty little evo into a fancy paper weight
just give me a 1 or 2 as a comment so i know whether or not to have him drive over and make me unroot it for him since he lives kinda far away and doesn't come often...
1. Lose root and be on 2.3
posting & replying from my EVO 4G
^This guy.
But I am a bit confused myself. What exactly is edited in the android system so that we have root access?
If he's removed any system apps, he won't be able to accept the OTA. I've never personally had this problem because I've never tried, but I have heard of others experiencing issues.

he didn't delete any of the apps so...
Yeah but does he have a custom recovery? If he has cwm or amon ra I don't think the ota will flash.
if you cant live large, look big in the coffin!!!
Completely stock , accept the ota and loose root will be the only issue. Only if everything is untouched, no frozen apps or anything. Just tell him to sync his contacts and what not prior to.
UnrEVOked has some info on un-rooting and going back to RUU. I believe it's on their forever root page for EVO. Basically (don't quote me) they recommend getting a older stock Rom and flashing that before update.
Also you could go back to the nandroid you did of his stock setup... (you did a nandroid right?!) And then update which will cause you to lose root.

His phone is bone stock except for root and amon recovery. No frozen apps no custom rom. So he should be fine?

He'll be fine. He's just going to lose root and custom recovery.
A system upgrade is like a Windows upgrade. Totally reformats and installs the OS
Ok thanks

Does the same apply if I have a custom kernel installed?
There have been cases where people have bricked their phones doing an OTA. Since a lot of things change and vary between ROMs, it is best to just unroot, and then accept the OTA.
Or, simply wait a day or two, someone will have a rooted version of the new OTA posted over in the development threads. Problems solved and avoided
the update will probably fail
i have a question. im on cm7 and i want to try the new gingerbread update, i have unrevoked forever. if i go back to a stock rom and remove my recovery can i get the ota?
You need to go back to stock recovery and you can get the OTA, as far as losing root, I had unrevoked forever and I was able to just flash a new recovery after it was done and I was fine. It didnt reformat anything nor will they have an update that reformats your data. I still had superuser installed. I tested this on 3.3 OTA back in the day, but there is no telling what HTC will do with each update. Now I use custom roms and just wait for my favorite devs the incorporate it into the rom. Best bet is to wait till the rooted update is on the forums and install that.

So, what you're saying is that, if you get your phone back to how it was when you bought it and first took it out of the box, factory setup, can you get the official factory release for updating your factory set phone to the new factory released update??
Did you SERIOUSLY just ask that????

4.53.651.1 install after revolutionary

Anyone else trying to update stock to 4.53.651.1 but it fails to install? If you take the ota after revolutionarys unlock I can not install the update. I believe this is due to the hboot version. Which seems to be how they got around the locking in he first place.
Also where is the ota on the phone? I want to pull it off the phone and try a re ruu and install it again.

Have you checked Development section for the latest stock rom. Also why would you try to do an OTA after rooting. It may take away your root. Just wait it out or try a custom rom that probably has more than the stock 4.53 rom.
You rooted to get away from stock why go back when you now have options better than stock.
Rooted Stock Roms link here
Getting root back isn't a problem. I want a nandroid backup with the.latest. the original reason for me to root wasn't to run a custom Rom. It was to remove the extra bloatware.
But after being in the EVO for a few months now I am going to play with the other roms. I just wanted to see if the most recent update had any changes worth staying on stock.
I will most likely be going to cm7. Since that's what I have on my craptivate.

ok but still why unroot? Just download a rooted version and if you like remove the bloatware. going back to stock you loose options and gain bloat.
Stock rooted is better than Stock non rooted....all day everyday
The issue is your custom recovery, not custom hboot. Sprint OTAs depend on the stock recovery, which in layman's terms is a "fake" recovery. It can't be used by the user but the recovery knows what to do with the OTA packages.
Look around for a PC36IMG.zip of the stock Sprint recovery.img. I saw one the other day in the Dev section.
And the latest OTA is rootable, just to clear that up.

Oh and to answer your where does it download question...I believe in /data/tmp or /data/local/tmp, but i am not 100% sure. It believe it would be in one of the tmp folders for sure though.

[Q] Rooted, unlocked, and OTA updates

Question about whether I'll get OTA updates on my phone after rooting and unlocking.
I read that if the system folder is modified that will prevent OTA updates. But I'm not sure if I had done anything to modify that folder.
I unlocked and rooted the phone using the Wugfresh Galaxy Nexus Root Toolkit v1.3.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1454314
Then updated CWM with ROM Manager.
I'm curious, too. I suppose I'll find out sooner or later since I have two Nexus at my disposal. Both unlocked, only one with root.
i have heard that you will have to flash updates if you are unlocked and rooted. So your best bet is to flash it through CWM.
I wonder if the radios get flashed with the stock updates? I did flash the leaked 4.0.3 radios and have had much better connection negotiations.
Try searching, there's a big discussion in one of the threads in this forum. It's not as simple as yes or no...

Yeah, I had seen this brought up in other threads. The answer usually didn't seem clear as you mentioned. So was hoping for clarification.
Sounds like I'll just have to wait and see then.
I really recommend the other thread, and ask questions there - no one wants to repeat that debate all over again, so I'm not even gonna start...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1473305
I found out that one MUST be on the stock 4.0.2 radios in order to flash the 4.0.4 update successfully. I have not tried yet but it is good to know. The radios are definitely flashed (updated) in 4.0.2.
You can be rooted and unlocked and still get OTA updates as long as the OS is still stock. You will lose root but you can get that back by rooting again. Running a custom ROM will change that though.
Which is the best/fastest/easieast way to get the stock recovery back? After unlocking/rooting/CWMing , the stock recovery got erased and not renamed. I guess it differs form GSM to CDMA , so if anyone could help me out here (GSM stock recovery wanted) I would appreciate it..
thanks a lot.
http://code.google.com/android/nexus/images.html download the right version from the google factory images. extract the file.
Then search for the image zip, extract the recovery.img.
Then boot into the bootloader and fastboot
"fastboot flash recovery recovery.img".
This will put the stock recovery back onto your device.
thanks a lot mate...already figured it out..

[CWM][FASTBOOT][OTA Fix] Fixed Radios FC12 FD02 for Sprint Galaxy Nexus

Nexus CM Blog: Sprint Galaxy Nexus Radio Images
Fix OTA upgrade to FD02 with these *fixed* FC12 radio images.
If you run CM9, AOKP, CNA or other custom Android, you may will want to flash directly to FD02.
Thanks to considerable help from winner00 and testers in channel freenode #gn-sprint we managed to figure out the real cause of the OTA upgrade failures plaguing us. We also have extracted and thoroughly tested fastboot and CWM/TWRP flashable .zip's of both FC12 and FD02 radios in the link above. The Nexus CM blog will maintain vigorously tested fastboot and flashable .zip's for all current and future toroplus radio firmware.
What broke OTA?
In short, this was the forum community's fault.
The initial leaked FC12 factory restore has a LTE radio image that does not match the radio that shipped on the Sprint Galaxy Nexus. As a result, the FD02 OTA upgrade fails. Please stop bothering Sprint stores for phone repairs/replacements.. Fortunately you can now easily fix these issues with the heavily tested downloads available from the link above. Please verify the md5sums before you attempt to flash with either fastboot, CWM or TWRP.
Follow the CyanogenMod Sprint Galaxy Nexus Google+ page for the latest development news and to interact with the developers!.
Don't want to clutter the thread with thanks and +1's but, u know...... this works and works well. I will no longer flash leaked radios, lol.
The sprint gnex community is growing daily, yay.
Stickied for now. It will need to be maintained with future radios as well.
Thanks
FNM
Flashed both CDMA and LTE radios in fastboot. Everything works great! Wish they would open up LTE here in Dallas! Probably going to flash CM9. I miss CM since I got rid of the EVO!
Glad you guys could find the legit FC12 radios! My phone is very happy now.
Man got me right before I odined thanks for this.
Know this is mostly for people who are running other roms, but if you're stock with an unlocked bootloader, you might consider applying this zip, which will bring you up to full FD02.

Real happy to see these great devs including op and mod from the epic community now working on this amazing device. Really in love with it. Pretty sad, I know. Good to know I'm not alone though.

For what it's worth, I have a stock phone with unlocked bootloader and root and the OTA fails for me. I never flashed the FC12 radios, I never flashed any ROMs. I got the OTA yesterday and it fails with Status 7.

I had the same issue -- unlocked but never installed other radios, everything stock. I even went back to locked stock by odin and still couldn't get the OTA. I called Sprint and the guy told me to go to the store. The store tried the OTA and it failed. That tech told me they had an email that said many people had issues installing the OTA but they couldn't manually update until May 17th.
They ended up swapping the phone for me and we updated it right there in the store.
The bonus was that I had spent about $5 of my Google wallet money and when I set up the new phone I got the whole $10 again.

You got lucky I cant see them replacing phones for that. The root method you used I would be curious about as well as it probably altered system files that were to be updated.

I used the GNEX toolkit to root, so if that's the problem a lot more people would be having it. Plus I returned to stock with ODIN, wouldn't that put it back to stock with no altered system files?
What I have been reading the radios were either corrupt or a different version that was originally shipped.I'm assuming the Odin radios were having the same issue. The official CM9 peeps have posted correct radios

On the stock ROM there is a script that restores stock recovery upon reboot. I believe it's in /system named recovery-from-boot. Either erase that file or rename it to recovery-from-boot.bak.

Please Help! How to restore from backup on laptop

I am a n00b.
Just today I changed my phone from yakjuux to yakju, and it all seemed to go smoothly.
I am receiving texts, and everything seems to be working, and when I was trying to update to jelly bean OTA, everything was going well, until a little red triangle popped up over the little android, and my phone restarted with no change. I flashed my original radio image (UGLA4) so Im not sure whats up with that. If anyone has any suggestions about how I can fix this it would be greatly appreciated.
If not, I would like to restore my phone to yakjuux using a backup I made using this website: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21266325&postcount=239 as a guide. I have all the files saved onto my laptop, but Im unsure about how to use them and restore my phone to its original state (yakjuux)

You are seeing the little red triangle because you have an image that is not stock. You need to do the optional steps to get the ota (i.e., you need to flash the bootloader, radio and recovery). Go back to the convert to yakju guide and do them.
P.S. why did you not flash the JB images instead of the ICS images??

Will there be any problems if I follow all the steps in your guide, and pretty much redo everything? I would flash the bootloader, flash the same radio (UGLA4), flash the data paritition, flash the system partition, flash the kernel and flash the recovery the only difference being that I would use the JB image rather than the ICS image.
Thanks again

There will be no issues. Note that if you flash the UGLA4 radio, the next OTA update will not install. You will need to flash the XXLF1 radio before attempting to install the next OTA update. (That is probably why you are seeing the red triangle -- the OTA is expecting to see the XXLA2 radio, and it is seeing the UGLA4. If you want the update to JB to install, just flash the XXLA2 radio, and the update will install.)

After updating to JB, I got prompted to update the OS to 4.1.2 and tried the OTA. For some reason it worked even though i wasn't using the corresponding stock radio image, and now I'm being prompted to do another OTA update (4.2.1). Seeing as the OTA worked last time, I tried to do it once more with the 4.2.1. update, but i ran into the same problem as last time: a little red triangle appeared over the little green android. So I did what you suggested, and flashed the xxla02 radio, and then tried to install the OTA but the little red triangle appeared again. So my question is; are there new corresponding stock boot, radio, and recovery images for JZO54K? If so, i probably still have the boot, radio, and recovery images that were stock to JRO03C.
I figure that if i flash the new stock boot radio and recovery images, the OTA should go smoothly. Any thoughts? Or should I just manually flash the 4.2.1 update that i can download from the google developers website ?

Not all updates will update the radio or boot images, but some will. If you are on 4.1.2, for future updates to work, including 4.2.1, you need the boot, recovery and Radio images from 4.1.2.

Not all updates will update the radio or boot images, but some will. If you are on 4.1.2, for future updates to work, including 4.2.1, you need the boot, recovery and Radio images from 4.1.2.

Thanks efrant, youre a legend. Do you by chance know what the stock radio image for 4.1.2 is? And the boot and recovery images can be downloaded from the google developers web site right?

I think it is xxlf1. Go to randomphantasmagoria.com. Oldblue910 has mirrored all the old factory images there.
