Mistake by google? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I bought my galaxy nexus (free GSM version) before 3 months
The software version was Android 4.0.1 (Build ITL41D)
When I turned it on it was updated to Android 4.0.2 (Build ICL53F)
And everything was working fine until yesterday!
The auto update told me there is the 4.0.4 update, so I updated it successfully.
After upgrading, the device started asking me for SIM network unlock code!
I was confused since my device is not locked for any operator!
I found out it was updated to Verison Android 4.0.4 (Build IMM76K)!!!
How come I got the Verison update! I cant understand!
Anyway I rooted my device and installed 4.1 hoping the problem will disappear! but all in vain! until I found this app FuxkDocomoV3.1 and it unlocked my device!
I cant understand how come i got the GSM update for 4.0.2 and then I got Verison update for 4.0.4!
is it google mistake?

Im not joking dude! that what happened with me!

I know someone who updated like you and get that 8digit unlock?
And that guy shipped the phone with his cousin.And they realized the phone bought from vodafone!they gave him to the code and ta da...
Are you %100 sure yoyr device is I9250M and sim free? Because to get rid of that thing you need that code.Flashing roms will not solve it

google mistake??? xDDDDDDD
you have bought a locked phone ...and unlocked after through imei with network unlock codes

Most nexus phone in the arabian gulf handled by samsung (mean the update must made through samsung)
I didn't recieve any update for my nexus until I restored original yakju image
so maybe your phone was actually imported
this app may help you to know if your update come from google: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.cbruegg.officialupdate

First of all, you build was not ICL53F. It was something else (like ICL53F.xxxxxxxxx).
Second, IMM76K is not an update just for Verizon. It is for almost all gsm builds except for yakju and takju.
Thirdly, your device is SIM-locked. So what if you bought it unlocked? That just means the place you bought it from unlocked it. But, as with all SIM-locked devices, there is a chance that it relocks with any new ROM. There is a thread that tells you how to permanently unlock it.

Still on 4.0.1. Phone wont update.

Anyone else got a GN still on 4.0.1 ??
I hit the update button but it tells me "system up to date"
GSM version in Canada. (Bought from Virgin, using fidi SIM)
No root or mod.
I find it odd since everyone is already talking about 4.0.3...
Hi,
do tou have unlocked the bootloader?
I'm still on 4.0.1 as well, which I bought from Rogers. I think I'm just going to root it to one of the 4.0.3 roms ...

You probably have yakjuwtf build rather than yakju, so your Galaxy Nexus is less blessed than any other.
Joking aside. Many SGN's have modified builds with some regional and/or carrier changes. Personally I don't believe that otas for yakjuwtf are made by Samsung. I think that google makes them, but it takes more time due to those little differences.
You will receive your OTA soon. At this point none of nonyakju builds, that I heard of, had received OTA to 4.0.2.

If you have a Virgin, Bell, Rogers, or Telus Galaxy Nexus, then you have one with a yakjuux build. No one with a yakjuux build has received the OTA to 4.0.2 yet -- it is still coming. If you want 4.0.2 right now, you need to flash a yakju build. See instructions in my sig.

The problem with these slow updates is that we are always months behind the most recent bug fixes and feature enhancements. Considering there are no carrier modifications added to the firmware, there's no good excuse for such long delays in getting these out to customers.

[Q] No OTA for 4.0.2 or 4.0.3?

ok guys so I have a galaxy nexus and I'm still stuck on 4.0.1, I have a rogers SIM card in it. I have CWM recovery, unlocked bootloader and rooted.
Now of course I could manually update, but why am I not getting OTA updates?
Baseband version: I9250UGKL1
Kernel Version: 3.0.1-ga052f63 [email protected] #1
Build Number: ITL41F.I9250UGKL1
Anything look wrong here? What do I need to change/update?
Thanks in advance.

If you have Cwm the ota won't install anyway.
Secondly you are probably on a yakjuxx build, and which gets its updates from Samsung and not Google. Search on market for an app called galaxy nexus update (or something close to that), which will tell you which build you have.
If you want to change to yakju (which Google updates directly), there are a thread in general which shows you what to do.

Why won't the OTA install if i have CWM?
Why do they have different versions of the same ROM? some that Samsung update and some that google update? is there any other difference to the ROM's?
Any other advantage to being on the yakju ROM?
Will installing any of these ROM's clear my data? from what I remember I don't think it does..
[REF] [HOW-TO] Official Google OTA update URLs
Read THIS.
You have to wait for samsung to push it. Yakju is the build that comes directly from Google, so you'll get the ota updates a lot sooner than everyone else, however it is only on 4.0.2.
If you want 4.0.3, install a custom rom such as AOKP.
I was doing some reading seems like 4.0.2 is a bit laggy.
I was really more interested in how to switch from yakjuux to yakju, but if google is going to release buggy OTA's it might be a bit better to let it filter through samsung after all.
but just for the record how do i switch from yakjuux to yakju? just flash the yakju build update over top of the yakjuux?

I was in the same boat as you, waiting for an update to 4.0.2 but it just never came, so I got antsy and then flashed a rom. I am pretty disappointed though because I got the nexus especially for google's updates but again I got screwed by Samsung waiting for their updates.
That's the exact reason why I bought a Gnex, so I can get updates from Google, not from Samsung or Rogers witch is my carrier. But now because I don't have the right rom on mine I'll have to wait, only God knows when they will push it! So freaking stupid!

I was in the same boat, so i changed my ROM to YAKJU (No root or unlock required, flashed offical YAKJU from Support in Germany).
There is a thread somewhere in general with instructions on "How to".

[ROM][INFO] Completely STOCK 4.1 Jelly Bean

I'm just providing information and a link for people (like me) who want a completely stock JB ROM that is not rooted, tweaked, or messed with in any way at all. This is the stock JB that Google used for their JB nexus demonstrations.
THIS IS NOT MY WORK...I AM SIMPLY PROVIDING A LINK TO THE COMPLETELY STOCK JELLY BEAN ROM. AGAIN, THIS IS NOT MY WORK OR LINK.
ALSO, THE FILE NAME SHOWS "TAKJU" WHICH IS THE USA GALAXY NEXUS (THAT IS PURCHASED FROM GOOGLE PLAY STORE), SO I'M NOT SURE IF IT WILL WORK CORRECTLY ON ANY OTHER UNLOCKED NEXUS' (LIKE THE YAKJU). I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE YOU MAY DO TO YOUR PHONE.
Having read all the information above, here is the link:
http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager/device/maguro/developer/clockworkmod?manifest=http%3A%2F%2Fgh-pages.clockworkmod.com%2FROMManagerManifest%2Fclockworkmod.js&name=ClockworkMod&deviceName=Google%20Galaxy%20Nexus%20(GSM
I simply used the galaxy nexus toolkit (see sticky thread in this section) to unlock my phone and flash CWM (I didn't need to root), and then flashed the stock JB via CWM.
Thanks! Just unlocked, flashed the JB image and re-locked.
Now I'm (not rooted) and back to stock and locked JB!
No waiting on the OTA here!

This is the same build on the I/O Nexi. So they are all going to have to root and unlock once the OTA hits? Don't think so. It's the same version as on my Nexus 7, down to the build fingerprint.
(yes I have a Nexus 7 - bought from someone who attended I/O).

So your Nexus 7 has a takju build fingerprint?!
Interesting.
Takju is for a completely different device and will not work on a Tegra 3 device.

Stock jelly beans with baseband XXLF1
Thanks guys for posting the link to the ROMs. I just finished updating mine two days ago and man this is awesome. BTW, I also flashed the baseband radio XXLF1 and it works better than XXLA2 (Australia, OPTUS network).
P.S.
Got my phone unlocked (originally yakjuxw) but is using it in OPTUS network. Now its all Jelly Bean

What makes you think that just because these are test builds pushed out to I/O devices they are going to have to be rooted and unlocked to be updated? That doesn't make any sense. Think about it:
Google supplies GNex to I/O attendees.
Google pushes out OTA to those devices for JB (no unlocking/rooting required to receive)
Why wouldn't Google later push an update for devices on pre-release JB to bring them to final release builds? What this means is that there will be two OTA files being pushed, one for IMM76K -> JRN*** and for JRN84D -> JRN***.
I have a very hard time believing Google would require I/O devices be unlocked and rooted to install the official firmware.

True, plus for OTA you have to be bone stock: stock rom, stock kernel, stock recovery, stock radio, and appropriate bootloader to be able to grab an OTA update

Well no, you can grab the OTA in most cases but without everything stock it won't install

Upgrade to Android 4.2

Hi guys/lads, i do have a question about the official update from android for our belowed GNex. Recently i've read a lot about it and now i'm totaly dumb. I'm still on stock cause i bought my mobile like one month ago. Do i need to do something special to be able to recieve this update from google? One more question - does anyone here in Norway already got it? Cheers

You probably have yakjuxw version of image, thats why you are kinda late on receiving the update. You can try reading the stickies threads in general and development on how to flash yakju version.
Yakjuxw - update under samsung (late update)
Yakju- under google (fast update)
** i dont really remember the exact term, but if you are not yakju/takju, then update is late. You can check by turn the phone off, press vol up and down + power button together. Down at the left, there will show what version you are on.
If you are planning on upgrading to android 4.2, try reading some threads about the sdcard0/0 problems that everyone is having. Try to understand that thing first before you upgrade to 4.2, so you dont freak out

You bumped a 4 month old thread for that?

[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?
