Hello everyone
I just bought a Galaxy Nexus from someone. I was told that the device is factory unlocked. I looked into the settings and in the build number it shows ITL41F.i9250UGKL1. My question is that, what kind of Gnex is this? Is it bought straight from Google, or from some carrier? Also, in Android version it shows 4.0.1. Now I am aware that there is 4.0.4 out but how come in system update it says I am up-to-date?
I am fairly new to Galaxy Nexus, but I have owned a Galaxy S previously. Please help me out.
Thanks.
Does it has a sim slot?

is a GSM baseband.
You can flash yaku (or takju) & get the updates.

How? Please tell me ? Is there a guide or something, and also would the warranty be voided?

HI guys I am about to get this phone and I have some questions to ask:
1) Does anyone here who got their Galaxy Nexus from ThreeUK know whether they sell yakju or other software models?
2) If I dont have yakju can I get yakju by flashing a file, and where do I find the file?
3) If I flash yakju do i then get future updates from google?
4) Do I have a chance of losing yakju through updating?
5) How do I flash yakju?
6) Do I need to have root access or recovery to flash yakju?
Please answer all my questions. Thanks
Hmm, like 7 of your questions can be answered by reading the stickies in development.

1 ) yes three uk is Yakju build
2) you will have yakju so not relevant
3) yes as it's a google build
4) no unless google changes he name
5) no just unlock the bootloader ( erases everything ) but you won't have too
Hope this was more helpful

I did provide a useful answer, and did not spam the thread. It does not matter if you have yakju or yakjux or yakjuwx. Everyone will get the same updates.

Hey I checked everything and I know 100% i got yakju. But when I check for updates there is no update. I am on 4.0.1
How to upgrade to 4.0.3?
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.

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.
Hello!
My phone is Galaxy Nexus
When I try to update it does not respond:crying:
The latest version of the device is 4.1.1
I do not know what the problem
Can anyone help?
I want to change the version to another Genuine
Can anyone help?
Note: the device was purchased from Bahrain "Middle East"
1) your device is not a yakju/takju phone and does not get updates from google, but rather samsung.
2) this has been addressed about a billion times. use search.
