Hi, I just got my gsm galaxy nexus i9250 today with stock android 4.0.1. I heard that 4.0.4 will cause signal loss bug so I'm hoping that I can update to 4.0.2 OTA or 4.0.3 instead. So where do I download a stock 4.0.2 or 4.0.3 to flash it? There's only 4.0.4 factory image in the google developers site (xda don't allow me to post link because this is my first post).
Can someone help please? Sorry if this question have been asked before. Thank you.

you could do this. this stock 4.0.2 rooted that you flash via CWM. it was the quickest thing i could find for your request.

Thanks man I'll probably try it later. So technically this is a custom ROM right? How do I update to an official one if that's possible?

The problems with the network have been fixed in a small update (i think it was 500 kb or so) from google. You won't experience the issues we had 2 MONTHS AGO when you just flash version 4.0.4 with Build number IMM761. Android 4.0.4 is way better than 4.0.2...
How did you even get 4.0.1? my phone (european samsung version) came with 4.0.2 from the box back in march.

technically it is a custom rom, but all it is stock rooted with busybox.
as far as an official one. you could flash a say a yakjuux or another variant of yakju that would be official just updated by samsung instead of google.

I wouldn't do that! if I were you
to explain this I have to tell you this:
there are diffrent versions of the ROM available. When your phone comes from the US you have a big chance that you are running Yakuja (the official Google branded ROM). but when you live outside the USA or got your phone from a non-US batch you have diffrent "Samsung branded ROMS". there's not such a big difference other than samsung checks the update and leaves things out that should not be available in your country...
You might brick your phone really nasty when you go update it with the wrong "ROM brand". If you really insist on getting the latest update (4.0.4) and when it doesn't come to you in the normal OTA way. try this thread bellow:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895
In the process you will get the latest version of Android without the need for modified recoveries. This is "the legit Google way".

Oh if the problem is gone then I would just update it to the latest 4.0.4 then I'm just worried because I read a lot of article saying that 4.0.4 causing signal loss when phone is in sleep mode. I got a used one (like new) from Amazon maybe thats why it's still 4.0.1
Nope, my European stock rom came without Google books (comes standard with android). and did not get full functionality on the NFC (since our public transportation cards can be hacked using NFC). There is a difference between brands.
above that, the method posted in the link is how it should be done. If you check the official Android documentation you'll see the same description (but with some expensiver words). It's a proven way that is and has been reliable and save for a long time. of course I know what CWM is and does. But these ways are just ok.
I don't think the OP needs Root on his phone when he doesn't even know how to update a phone.
And in the technique described on the xda page I revered to (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895) you can actually relock the OEM after the switch, which means you have a very high chance of keeping the factory warranty (they will only notice it when they dig in to the phone really really really deep, but even then you would be considered to be a "stock" user in most of the cases).
When you have CWM sitting in your phones memory they will notice that. If you had it in your phones memory they will notice to (since the phone keeps past-version records on a save place).

if your updater doesn't work for some reason try this:
go to settings > hit apps > go to the tab "all" > open the settings for the app "google services framework" > hit "clear data" > hit "force stop" > go back to the main list in the settings app > hit "about phone" > check for updates (it should give you "last checked 1977 or so")
If you got this phone second hand and haven't factory resetted it yet. you should, the previous owner might have left traces from his usage or things that can compromise your privacy behind. this can be done from settings > storrage > factory reset
Good luck with android 4.0.4. You'll love it!

No, that is not a stock ROM, and no it is NOT just a stock ROM that is rooted with busybox. It is a deodexed, zipaligned ROM, with a non-stock kernel.
If you use that, you will no longer be able to use OTA updates to update to a new version -- you will have to re-install a full ROM.
As for flashing a yakjuux build, why??? It makes no sense. Why would he flash a build which would get updates later than a yakju build?

Yeah, he mentioned he didn't want 4.0.4, so you should recommend yakju 4.0.2, not a non-yakju build, as a non-yakju build will screw him if he wants any updates beyond 4.0.4.

Hi,
I bought a new nexus yesterday, just found out with android system info app that its a yakjuux! meaning all downloads will be done via Samsung.
It has android 4.0.1. I wanted to check, whats the latest ICS running on yakjuux handsets? if 4.0.2 than how to get it and and is there a manual way to pull the update if its released.
Also, can anyone recommend a good software to transfer data files from desire HD to nexus? would appreciate the help...
thanks
just go to about phone, and tell it to update, should go straight to 4.0.2 , mine did atleast, though not for long since I went and started custom rom'd it up (as usual)
If you want to have the most recent updates, you can change your phone to Yakju here. (the most recent for Yakju is 4.0.4) For transferring data between phones/roms, I would recommend Titanium Backup Pro. It is definitely worth your money.

thanks for the tip but not worked for me... the date was set to 1/1/1970 but after ever trying 8-10 times, it did not work.
Well not being a stock google image there could be quite a delay http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1419170 however this build (yakjuux) seems to have both updates uploaded which means someone somewhere has got it and shared it.
So you have two options root try with this updates manually...
or put a stock image from google code web site
You can always wait ofcourse ... I didn't

You can find the manual update to yakjuux 4.0.2 here (yakjuux ICL53F from ITL41F): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1419170
I received an update to that version from Google. I believe Google stopped the updates, though, because after the update there was a problem with the Market. However, if you do a factory reset from settings menu after the update, it resolved the Market issues for me.
I have not tried the yakjuux IMM48 update yet, because i'm not convinced that it is a current 4.0.4 update.

Flashing to yakju is the best choice if you don't used it much... If you don't wanna wipe your phone, there is a way to root without unlocking. Then you can flash to latest yakuux
Hope that helped

does flashing to Yakju ensures latest OTA updates from google? furher, does it require to wipe out the entire data?
Hi guys,
I used the GNEX toolkit to unlock my bootloader and then flash to 4.0.2 yakju. I'm just wondering why I'm not getting an OTA for 4.0.4 or 4.0.3. I've tried clearing the data in GoogleFrameWorkServices. I've also flashed stock recovery.
Did I do something wrong, or is there actually no update?. P.S I'm in Australia.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Im in the same boat.
I have flashed the completely stock 4.0.4 ROM from Google Code. I have not received the IMM76I update yet.
I have cleared the framework cache too and still nothing.
I live in Melbourne (australia) and I am assuming that the update to yakju devices works on a country-by-country basis.
IF I don't receive it soon, I am just going to hope Google Code gets updated and I will just reflash a the newer version.
I do not want to root the phone or using work-around methods to install an update. I like having a completely stock phone with a locked bootloader.
(Marshallaw.. Why not just download the 4.0.4 update from Google Code and flash using Fastboot? Atleast that way, you know your on the latest Android version and have a better chance of receiving the IMM76I update, or if worst comes to worst, just wait until Google Code is updated to the latest version and flash that?)
The way Google updates their devices is pretty pathetic. You would think they would push the update to every stock YAKJU device everywhere and not be so selective. My old Nexus S received 4.0.4 update and my stock Galaxy Nexus never received it, so I had to manually flash. Very stupid.

I think you are confusing a few things:
1) What is posted on Google Code (as you put it), are NOT updates -- they are complete, full ROMs.
2) What is posted here are incremental update that UPDATE your existing ROM.
There is a difference between the two, despite the end result being the same.
3) Having an unlocked bootloader or a locked bootloader does not mean you are stock or are not stock -- it has nothing to do with it at all. You are not adding or taking away anything from the firmware on the device...
4) You say you do not want to use a work around to flash the update, but you are using a work around to flash a full ROM? Something there doesn't compute for me.
5) Flashing a stock update file does not make you any less/more stock than flashing a full ROM.
I don't think you understand what I meant.. Im hoping Google updated their full ROM with the IMM76I kernel and bug fixes...
hence, I am waiting for an updated full ROM that 'includes' the latest kernel update.
e.g. Google Code features :
4.0.1 (ITL41D) and 4.0.1 (ITL41F). I am waiting for
4.0.4 (IMM76D) and 4.0.4 (IMM76I) to be posted on their site.
I also know that having a locked bootloader does not make it stock, but my point was I am on stock 4.0.4 with a locked bootloader, so I am waiting for an OTA so I don't need to re-install all my files/apps.
But if I don't receive the OTA update, I will be reflashing the entire ROM once its available on Google Code.

Well, I'm not sure if this is it but here's the OTA package for IMM76I from IMM76D. It might just be a test build which was only pushed to small portion of users to test it which would explain not everyone getting it.
And Marshalllaw, you've already begun to flash things and mess around, why not just flash the stock build of 4.0.4 straight away rather than relying on an OTA?

Ok, but you do realize that manually installing the IMM76I update (which you can do right now, although requires an unlocked bootloader) ends you up at the exact same place the flashing the IMM76I image when it comes out (and it will still require an unlocked bootloader). So whether you install the update, or what for the full image, you will still wipe, and you will end up at the same place -- you will just get there sooner with the update.
OK but how do you flash this with fastboot once I unlock my boot loader. I need to boot with CWM don't I?

Correct, you do. But booting CWM is different from flashing CWM. When you boot it, you are not "writing" anything to your device - you are only loading the kernel and ramdisk into your device's RAM. It only boots CWM one time - as soon as you reboot, it is no longer there, as it was never flashed - it just existed in RAM.
Additionally, even if you did flash it, it still wouldn't be there when you rebooted, because EVERY OTA update adds two files to your device that automatically re-flash the stock recovery on EVERY boot of your device.

Hi Unlawful. Yeah I can always flash it directly to 4.0.4, its more that this is my first Android phone / first experience messing with bootloaders and roms. I was more so just wondering if the lack of OTA update to either 4.0.3 or 4.0.4 was that i've screwed something up or that the update has not been pushed to all devices.
My device info is: 19250XXKK6, ICL35F. Its basically the same as when I first bought it but not Yakjuwx. I more or less flashed to Yakju because people were saying that you could get OTA updates faster or something.
Thanks for the help, sorry if this is a noob question.
I wouldn't be too sure though I would really doubt it's something that you did. Have you pressed 'Check Now' somewhere in settings to check whether there's an update?

Yeah I hit check now and it always says I'm the most up to date. I tried clearing data in google services framework and then hitting check now. Nothing changed.
I just find it odd that I wouldn't get an OTA for 4.0.3.
I used the GNEX toolkit to flash the stock rom which I got from developers.google.com/android/nexus/images. I read online that someone thought that 4.0.4 was pulled from OTA, but I would have thought I would get 4.0.3. I'm nervous that I've messed something up lol

4.0.3 was never released in OTA form.

That does not work. You will have to wait until Google decides it's time for your IMEI to receive it...

Yeah I hit check now and it always says I'm the most up to date. I tried clearing data in google services framework and then hitting check now. Nothing changed.

You did not mess anything up. As martonikaj said, there was never any 4.0.3 update.
Updates are not rolled out to everyone all at once. It could take seconds or MONTHS before you get the OTA, after the first person gets it.
Awesome . Thanks for the help guys.
Having an Android is great for all the exploring you can do, finding out how it works though can be a bit daunting.
Sorry for the noob question!.
I just bought the phone yesterday from Verizon. It's all stock. I'm running 4.0.2, but I was wondering if 4.0.4 is out for everyone? I haven't received any update about it on the phone. Checking for updates just says I'm up to date. Do I need to manually update it, or just wait for it to hit me? How long should I wait?
If I decide not to wait, I have to unlock and root my phone, correct? And then download and install 4.0.4 (IMM76I) "yakju" from Goggle's Nexus factory images page? or do I need "mysid IMM76K from ICL53F" for toro from the "Official Google OTA Update URLs" thread on these forums?
I'm just concerned because I ran into some battery issues already (phone was completely dead when I woke up this morning. was at 90% when I went to bed. About 7 or 8 hours) and I read 4.0.4 fixes some of the battery issues. I've also changed some settings to limit battery draining. I believe it's working.
Root and Unlock using GNex TOOLKIT V6.1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392310
then install a custom rom should also fix your battery issue
4.0.2 its really buggy.. If you are rooted and unlocked try some custom rom?
Stock 4.0.4 has loads of improvement, great battery, great performance, camera quality fix, etc..
If you want stock image, download from Google official site and flash it via fastboot, and then reroot

No, I'm not rooted or anything at all. I planned to root later when I got use the phone. I'm pretty new to this root stuff, but want to explore it. I've already been doing lots of research.
But it seems the vote is to go ahead and unlock, root, get 4.0.4 and get a custom rom/kernel. lol Instead of waiting to get the 4.0.4 through Verizon, I should get it myself manually. I was wondering if I should just wait or not.
Is yakju the version I want or toro?

Thank you! I just have another question before I decide to flash 4.0.4 to my device.
4.0.4 was pulled from google servers, but is available at Random Phantasmagoria. Though, RP says it's not recommended to flash the 4.0.4 IMM76K update. Would you agree? I haven't seen anyone say that version has given problems with all the reading I've done, so I imagine it's fine. Just double checking. I think most people have to be on 4.0.3 or 4.0.4 to get certain kernels and such to work.

Well I was using the IMM76K version til yesterday with CM9 and it was fine, its been upgraded to IMM76I in the latest nightly.
All kernels work with 4.0.3/4.0.4
I don't think you'll have any problems as long as you download the right firmware for your model. Don't flash the GSM firmware on a cdma phone.

unlock bootloader, flash official 4.0.4 factory images (the ones found here, apropriate for your device, if you're in europe you probably have maguro/yakju, which is gsm) through fastboot, relock bootloader, done.
note: or try this
I just recieved ota.
Why the f i got verizon version on my phone? I got IMM76K instead of IMM76I...i got a gsm nexus...
Any answers?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Why do you want to "force an OTA" anyway? Just install a custom ROM with 4.0.4, it's probably better than the OTA anyway. You won't damage anything by doing it and you can always go back to a locked bootloader without root.
edit Also, I'm pretty sure you can install stock images with the gnex toolkit available here in the forums. Use that instead of the OTA updates if you necessarily need a stock image.
I'm also in Romania (Vodafone) and still on stock 4.0.2. Does anyone know why a bunch of versions have yet to be updated to 4.0.4?

Updates for people who aren't on Google builds i.e. anything other than yakju, are controlled by Samsung so it's up to them to release them as well as carriers. If you want the latest and greatest swap over to yakju and you'll be getting the latest releases first (and plus we have cookies ).
It all seems to me a waste of resources. Aren't all versions identical in terms of hardware?
When I bought the Galaxy Nexus I did it because I wanted an official stock experience, but you're now saying that my stock ROM isn't really stock? )

You didn't get the V version. That's still a gsm version sent out by Samsung for non yakju builds. Only yakju/takju got IMM76I. I'm thinking due to regionalization Samsung released the K version afterwards as they did some mods like languages.

Unfortunately this is exactly the case. It's still stock, it really depends on how you look at things. I know friends who couldn't care less about which version of Android their Nexus is running and they'll take what comes their way. Then you have people like me who like to experiment and flashing the newest and greatest things
The only thing I hate when I switch ROMs, is losing all my apps and settings. No matter what anyone says, backing them up doesn't always work 100%.

Couldn't agree with you more, that's why I don't bother putting anything on my phone that intends to stay. Or I'll just go back to stock like I am right now if I don't feel like chasing the flashing game. Personally, I don't have much data that I need to persist anyway, it's mainly contacts which is in Google contacts and the rest (apps) I can re-install from the Play Store.

Not sure what problems you guys are having, but I have never had any issues restoring my apps and data.
After flashing a new ROM:
1) I sign into my Google account, and it re-downloads all my apps, Wi-Fi settings, BT settings, email accounts and settings, etc.
2) I use Titanium Backup to restore settings for any of the apps that I want restored.
The only thing I don't restore is data for system apps (like the stock launcher). This you have to redo yourself (which is a little pain in the butt, but it only takes a few minutes). If you use a custom launcher, it's even easier, just restore the settings.
Well, first of all, not all the apps are automatically re-downloaded, depending on the ROM, and second, the launcher settings, the screen/sound/clock/alarms/etc.. (all the other system settings) are just as important.

Really? Strange. I have never had an issue with apps not being re-downloaded when I sign-in to the setup wizard on any stock ROM that I have used.

Yup, as I had mentioned, stock-only launcher needs to be set up. I would assume any alarms would as well only on the stock alarm clock, but I don't use it. Same goes for sound and sound profiles. I use Audio Manager from the market, so the settings are restored using that.
Not sure what settings there for the screen. I thought is was just one brightness control and that's it, no?
Well, if we're talking about stock ROM images, you might be right
I'm on yakjuxw (I think, or something), is there an easy way to install latest yakju 4.0.4 stock ROM?

The 4.0.4 update for yakjuxw came out today/yesterday if you want to install that. See here.
If you want yakju or takju, look here. First post has instructions on setting up drivers for your PC, unlocking the bootloader, and flashing takju (or yakju) images. Second post has info on how to install the latest stock build (JRN84D).
I would recommend takju (or yakju) over staying on yakjuxw.

If I may add, I would recommend takju if in a g wallet supported country, yakju if anywhere else. I run yakju simply because I don't have any need for Wallet.

If you're running stock yakju you don't really need to switch to takju. Just install CWM (The Galaxy Nexus Toolkit is an awesome tool to help you do that) and flash this.
You can go from any rom (custom or stock) to jb as far as you have cwm and xxla2 radios..

i think it worked, used option 6 for my build of android, then selectedthe option to install cwm touch, followed the instructions in section 3 on:

Hopefully this will fix the issue i was having with my nexus where the radio would lose all connection to the network... usually have to reboot the phone to get it to work again... a minor annoyance for an awesome phone. Atleast it doesn't take 3-5 min to boot up like my blackberry playbook tablet (that's not cool RIM, please fix)...

it didn't on my nexus... though i didn't use the 7th option which does steps 3-6 (unlock bootloader, root phone, flash recovery) which would wipe the phone.
I just hope i can still send messages on it, last time i flashed it i had to get telus to resend the info to the phone.
another question, I don't think I got the full JB os, as my phone is still using the xxla2 radio... if i wanted to go back to yakju for the full stock OTA update, supposedly coming next month sometime, and keep my warranty, I would just reflash everything back to yakju, including recovery (CWM - stock)?
I assume I would have to do this with the fastboot in the DOS window since I don't think that I can revert everything back to 4.0.4 with the toolkit.
also how do I tell if the phone is rooted? I don't think i did this but would like to know anyways.

Yes, for stock, use adb+fastboot and Nexus Factory Images for everything stock 100%. And to check for superuser, just download an app that requires it and see if you get a command prompt. But even easier than that, SuperUser or SuperSU should be in your app drawer if you have it installed, and also in your /system/app

I don't have those apps installed, guess I am not rooted. Good to know.
Also it should be noted that I no longer have any input lag using poweramp, with ICS 4.0.4 there was always a 1 second (seemed like it anyways) delay between the button press and the phone doing what I want. I hope this extends to using my bluetooth headset as well.
hmmm figured i would try downgrading to takju using the toolkit... it did everything which is nice however i noticed that it still uses the radio from yakju...
is there a way to check what it didn't add to the phone when it downgraded?

looking forward to getting the official JB update next month...

I already had bootloader unlocked, so I just had to install CWM recovery and flash the jb-takju image mentioned earlier. Once the phone has rebooted the CWM was gone, so had to reflash that. Afterwards I downloaded the XLFF1 radios (you can search for radio-i9250-xxlf1.zip) and flashed them as well. Now my phone shows all the same versions as the takju phones passed out at Google I/O. All my settings, etc. were preserved.
