[Q] noob question about ota updates

Hi guys. I'm rooted and running gummy Rom. My question is that what happens if jelly bean comes out? Do I need to unroot to get the update?
Please answer kindly.

With custom ROMs it all depends on the developers, there is a better chance of getting JB with aftermarket ROMs than there is going through a carrier like Verizon. (GSM version should be instant)
Most serious developers (Like Gummy) will more than likely be updating the Nexus first. So I personally wouldn't go back to stock, unless for some reason the updates are taking too long.

Thank you for your response.
And in the settings there's a "check for update" option so maybe I could use that?
But yea like you said I wouldn't go back to stock

I wouldn't recommend it, because it will be looking for things that aren't in place, and you'll probably just end up getting a nasty message in recovery during the installation which could potentially corrupt your current ROM.

OTA updates are for STOCK ROMs ONLY. An OTA update will NOT install on a custom ROM.
You either have to flash a stock ROM, update and stick with stock, or wait for the dev to update Gummy to the latest version.

Help with Nexus update!?!

Hi guys. I'm from Brazil and the Galaxy Nexus is named Galaxy X around here, but it's the usual GSM thing that is out for AT&T. Anyway, I'm running stock ICS (4.0.2) and I checked Internet and discovered that several people are already running Jelly Bean due an OTA update by Google. But when I check if there are any updates on the phone, it just tells that it is updated. My question is: is it alright or I am missing an update? Should I root and use CM10? Will it take too long to get stable? Thank you, greetings from Brazil!

A little info. You could flash a Google stock image or choose one of the numerous custom ROMs available, only you can deside which is right for you.

Only yakju and takju builds of GSM Galaxy Nexuses are updated by Google, Galaxy X has a yakjuvs build and is updated by Samsung. Samsung promissed end of August as a deadline for JB on yakjuvs (no 4.0.4 for yakjuvs).
If you don't want to wait, there are a ton of tutorials explaining how to flash a factory image, just get the jelly beans factory image and do it, but, be aware that you will loose all data in your phone (and by all, I mean ALL data, including "sdcard" data). If you don't want to lose all your data, cross your fingers and hope that Samsung deliver what they've promissed...

If you still need to ROOT and are worried about losing your data you can use the Wug's Galaxy Nexus Root Toolkit.

[Q] Do I have a Yakju unit?

Hi,
Got a Nexus from the grey market recently, and today I just learned about the different builds. I did get the OTA Jelly Bean update the moment I was on Wifi when I took it out of the box. Does this mean I have the Yakju version? Is JB out for non-yakju units already?

Did you read the stickies in this forum?

Sorry. Didnt notice it. Just read it now.
I still would like to know if JB is already available for non-Yakju units though.

Highlight with your mouse: non-yakju <-- yes this part. A search tool will pop so you get all the info you need. I worked hard to build the Search in XDA, can you please use it?

Look at the "Build in Settings->About phone. If you see only 6 characters there, you are running either a yakju or takju build. If you see more than 6 characters, then you are on a non-yakju/non-takju build.
As far as I've seen, the Jelly Bean update has only been pushed to yakju and takju builds.

[Q] JB 4.1.2 update for India

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.

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.

First time S3 rooter... want to install Jellybean on i747

Am coming from GNex and helping my bro set up his S3 which is completely stock, but just now rooted successfully. Can someone point me to step by step to get a stable Jellybean build on it (nothing fancy)... we have Clockwork Mod installed.

Said phone might already have Jelly Bean on it, considering stock Jelly Bean images have been available for a while now.
If not, try the instructions from here to get a stock-but-rooted Jelly Bean image on there, to start with.

Or if you want any other ROMs that are not stock (i.e. debloated) then try here. This page has all the info you need.
