[Q] Update Galaxy Nexus ?

Hello,
Ive got 2 Galaxy nexus one bought from US store and one from a UK store, both are not the LTE versions.
i got OTA update from 4.0.1 to 4.0.2 OTA on the UK one but not yet for the US.
I dont want to brick the phone so Id like some help please, ive never used nexus phones before so i apologize for all the questions.
is it possible to flash it to the US one? and if i do will i still get OTA updates when they roll out or would i have to always do it manually?
the US one is 4.0.1 baseband: XXKK1 Kernel: ga052f63 Build: ITL41F
and i the UK one is 4.0.2 baseband: KK6 kernel: gaaa2611 Build: ICL53F after OTA update.
Do use Gnex Toolkit v4.1 ? and without rooting?
Thanks guys

Sorry about Bumping,,,,,,,still awaiting reply please

you won't brick.
there is no U.S. firmware for the Galaxy Nexus.
there are only three types of OTAs:
yakju: Google supported (GSM)
mysid: Google supported (LTE)
variants of yakju (yakjuxw,yakjuux,etc): GSM
flash it.

Thanks Zephik, the app helped me alot
The product name is yakjuxw and it says its NOT updated by Google.
does this mean they wont ever update? or just currently its not yet pushed through?

it still receives updates but it comes from Samsung. still a stock experience, just comes with extra languages and things like that.
you can convert it to a yakju (search it).
updates often come out for yakju more frequently than the variations of yakju

If I convert it to a yakju, will this affect my warranty? If yes, can I convert it back to my current one?

Based on my modest knowledge, if the nexus doesn't have a flash counter and u flash back to yakuxw u shouldnt lose warranted. Better ask the professionals here in xda though.

You won't lose your warranty if you flash a official firmware, I did that when I changed to yakju.

yakjuzs (GSM) 4.0.4

Have anyone received the 4.0.4 OTA update on their yakjuzs (GSM HK version)?

no nothing yet. It might take a while with the signal loss issue; I'd rather wait and get a stable OS. https://code.google.com/p/android/i...s Owner Summary Stars&groupby=&sort=&id=28133

yakjuzs
Anyone got it yet?

nope. waiting also. i have the HK nexus but im in manila.
well they sorted out the signal issue with a patch but it was still on 4.0.4 for the yakju builds. hopefully we get a real OTA soon.

yeah its fixed. but they never made 4.0.4 for non yakju builds. maybe they are waiting for 4.0.5 or something before they roll it out to all builds.

(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!

Hi all,
I search in google, I found the step to flash factory image. And here are the steps
1.Download factory image - extract image
2.Download fastboot
3.Return into fastboot
4. fastboot oem unlock
5. fastboot flash bootloader <bootloader.img>
6. fastboot reboot-bootloader
7. fastboot flash radio <radio.img>
8. fastboot reboot-bootloader
9. fastboot -w update <image.zip>
10. fastboot oem lock
am I right? are there any mistake?
This is my first time. Please help me check

Is using a toolkit more dangerous then using fast boot?

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 !

Thanks for helping me to understand the different galaxy nexus variants. Mine is yakju(jp). I understand that the update for this variant has to come from Samsung and not from Google.
But when will I get the update from Samsung? Does they started rolling out?
Thanks

when they feel like and no one knows when it will be out.

If i recall correctly, you can change from Yakju to Takju and get updates directly from good. not completely sure HOW this is done or if it can be done on your particular carrier, but its something to look into.

[Q] dont have 4.2 ota ?

Hi guys I recently bought a GNEX as I missed the nexus 4 by minutes. Bought it brand new and it came with ice cream sandwhich. It asked me to update it and now its on 4.1.1 when it should be on 4.1.2? The phone did come with a European charger in the box and I had to manually add my APN settings to get my signal . Is this why it doesn't want to update?

Probably not a yakju model, just flash the yakju image manually and you're good to go (don't ask, search )

Yeah most likely its the European model. Probably won't update for a while.

Okay thanks for that. I would install it manually but my laptop is android aswell so I can't lol. Hate having to wait but I guess I'll have to.

I also don't have 4.2 yet on my GN I got from a UK store. When I try and manually flash any of the officially released ROMs i just get an error. Is that because I am not on yakju?
