I'm assuming your really really new to flashing so before you flash anything you need to do some hard research. GB is Gingerbread (Android 2.3.x) ICS is Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0.x) they are completely different os's that are nothing alike whatsoever. This phone comes stock with GB and will be receiving ICS ota soon. Flashing specific things for this phone can be dangerous and brick your device, so look around majorly before altering your device. lets start off small. First off are you rooted? (is your phone stock?)

He did state rooted stock. Stock GB one would assume.
OP, if you look through the themes, you will see what they have been tested on or made to work with.

Just download rootchecker.apk from the market. What build are you on? eg30, eko2, el29? or what method did you use to obtain root?

They're just updates, the phone was shipped with eg30 then they're were leaked test builds and an ota release was put out (ek02) then another one (EL29). If you used Sfhubs one click odin to full restore to rooted EL29 the you should be rooted with no issue, do you have the superuser app?

Use this to root and install CWM found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342728

Using sfhubs autoroot package would do the same thing as both those steps since he is already on EL29 wouldn't it? Autoroot, roots and then installs CWM recovery right? Maybe Im wrong as to the point your making with both steps.

If you just want a nice theme, you could always download Go Launcher and find one there. Otherwise, use the AutoRoot package by sfhub to root and install Clockworkmod. Then you can start flashing ROMs.

VZW 4.0.4 update

Not that I have the Verizon Nexus .. but yeah its coming out... it was updated and it seems another user got the update as well. =]
- Galaxy Nexus

I hope someone can post the radios as flashable zip. Gotta be patient hehe

I guess if u clear the Google services framework within app and press check for update... perhaps it'll work =]… if it doesn't the first time.. try 10 more times. It will say last checked on 1969 ... disregard that
- Galaxy Nexus

Looks like it is rolling out (or at least starting to).
For anyone who has received it, would you mind looking in the log files in /cache/recovery and try and find the name of the update file (ending in .zip) please and post it in this thread. Thanks.

Cannot wait for the new radios. FC instead of FA. Wonder what they did?

Just reading through the comments on the article, seems a couple people are getting (Much) better signal strength. Whatever they did it seems to have worked! (Maybe they just poured butter all over the radio code?)

Potentially! Are they comparing them to the leaked 4.0.4 radios? Doubtful since they upgraded and were presumably on 4.0.2 lol.
Either way, someone needs to find the images and make a flashable zip. I need something to do at work, nah mean?

So if I am running Liquid (4.04) will all I have to do is flash the new radios once they are available?
Sorry for the noob question. Just got my nexus last week and new to the flashing scene.

Yes. Radios are compatible with pretty much anything. They are separate from the rom, and do not even "stick" with a nandroid.

OK I'm running the leaked 4.0.4... I'll have to revert to 4.0.2 yo receive this correct? And I installed Franco's kernel last night. Anywhere I can pick up stock kernel?

Just use a tool like Wugs or the GNEX toolkit to relock and unroot.

I am biting the bullet and flashing back to stock to try and capture it.
Don't hold your breath of course. The only reason I put any merit in this is one of the radio versions is listed in AOSP.

i actually love my rooted 4.0.4 and my hybrid radio... like others id be more interested in the actual OFFICAL radio...

I (and I'm sure all of us) appreciate it. I wish there was a way to force the update, other than sacrificing chickens and whatnot.

No need to "un-root", and no need to re-lock. Makes no difference.

OH he has the OTA. My bad, it's early for me . I was like WTF you can't receive an update with a custom rom.

No, you are right -- you can't receive the update with a custom ROM, but a rooted stock ROM is perfectly fine. Bootloader lock/unlock makes no difference.

Jb upgrade advice

Hi all... Stupid question time,
I've only got into custom roms etc and I'm running black ice at the moment.
I fancy a look at jelly bean so is it as simple as revert back to ics via my backup and ota update?
Will it matter that I'm rooted and have an unlocked bootloader?
Cheers in advance.

No. The OTA update will not work unless you are running IMM30D (which I doubt your backup is). Easiest way, just flash a fully-functioning custom JB stock rom. There are more than a few found in the development sections of this forum.

Lovely job... Cracking bloke.. Thanks for your time mate.

Go from 4.1.1 to 4.2.1 How to??

Hey guys, just bought this phone off craigslist today to upgrade from my LG Revolution. I've used roms with the Revo so I'm not a total stranger. I'm wondering how to upgrade to 4.2.1, my phone doesn't seem to get the OTA update, I downloaded the zip to flash and after I flashed it in CWM it the version didn't change under my system info.
I have the verizon version. thanks!

The OTA isn't out for the Toro, the Verizon version. I think you need to do a little reading before you accidentally damage your new phone flashing something not intended for it.

Yea, I haven't started flashing any roms yet, just trying to figure out what I need to be doing/cant' do
whats the latest version thats out and how do I get it?

Latest for toro is 4.1.2. You can flash a rooted stock version or try to get the OTA notification to show up.

I have 4.1.1 stock and if I click on update nothing happens.

the answer here is... there's no point.

Google has released the 4.2.1 binaries, so now every ROM baker and their brother can put out 4.2.1 ROMs; but. . . Verizon hasn't done it yet. Their latest official GNex ROM is 4.1.1 (so there's no point in looking for an OTA update).

Ah..so I technically should be able to flash those roms and be fine even though I'm on 4.1.1?

[Q] strange idea! would it work

Since Verizon is several updates behind on the CDMA nexus. I read an article that said it was possible to update to 4.2. Using the unlocked version of the the software. Any thoughts

What do you mean? You want to install a 4.2 stock ROM on your CDMA VZW GNEX?
If so, are you new?

please wait for VZW to update your device's software.

I'm gonna but I saw the idea on an article and just wondered if it'd work. I'm fairly new to xda the Gnexus is my 2nd android coming from an HTC incredible 1

Yessir, you can have 4.2 on the VZW Gnex. Problem is, if you have to ask.
Go to the VZW dev forum, read the stickies, read them all. Find a 4.2 ROM, read at least the first few pages of the thread. If you have developed an understanding of all that you need to do to get 4.2, then good luck. If you read and still do not understand, then you need to keep reading until you do. If you keep reading and still do not understand, then you will want to just wait until it's made available OTA.

I got pretty good understanding of the process need to put a ROM on it. I'm gonna wait for the ota though. I'm pretty satisfied with 4.1 stock with an unlocked bootloader
