I might have done something wrong here. I unlocked and rooted my Galay Nexus using Galaxy Nexus Root Toolkit. I did not backup anything. And I think I chose the wrong model type. The original build was IMM76K.SC04Dblablabla something. I chose IMM76I on the toolkit, and now im unlocked and rooted to it...however I cant go back...I want to go back because of the OTA updates and the new Jelly Bean. please help!

If you just want JB, you can probably directly download the ROM from the relevant thread and flash it directly. For OTA update, if you have the stock ROM, you will automatically get the OTA updates. With Docomo ROM, you would be dependent upon Docomo for OTA updates.

hi guys ihave an strange issue iwas using stock yakju 4.0.2 getting the update via ota
but after root and flash another rom idecide to come back to stock so via odin icame back to 4.0.1 thinking that iwill recieve the update directly ! but ididnt !! is there any problem or ?google stopped the ota update !!
From what I know, you have to have the bootloader locked. With it unlocked you won't receive the OTA. I maybe wrong though...
yes you are right but if you came back to 4.0.1 via odin the bootloader will automaticlly locked ! as i know and the unlock image which is below google type when i open the device dissapear so iguess that already locked
You can get the OTA with an unlocked boot loader but make sure you have the stock boot loader and radio as well as the ROM.

the problem is im not getting it dunno why so do you guys recmmend to unlock root the device and just flash any thing i want due to recovery !? and which is faster flash update due to recovery or getting ota updates ? from your experience
Did you flash a YAKJU image? Not everyone with the YAKJU** image have gotten the update, so be sure to check which one you have (should say in build.prop i believe or any system info app).
Also, why'd you use ODIN? Just use fastboot to flash the stock images Google provide
I think not everyone receive the OTA update from Google
Maybe 10 minutes after getting my Nexus i got the notification to update to 4.0.2. Mine was yakju out the box. Booted device up for the first time and my Nexus was in Japanese.
I always get the 4.0.2 OTA when i restore the phone to stock ITL41F.
I restored my phone today again and i dont recibe OTA update, seems to be disabled the OTA updates.
Maybe Google is changing something? who knows XD But i´m pretty sure that something happens with the OTA updates for yakju since yesterday.
PD; sorry about my english... XD
I'm still stuck on 4.0.1 on mine, and it came with yakju...so maybe the update still hasn't finished rolling out? Anyone have any other thoughts?

Stock bootloader? There is no other kind at the moment. And besides, it does not affect anything. Stock radio? Again, all radios available at the moment are stock. I think what you meant to say was the yakju radio. Although it is needed to install the OTA update, it will not affect you getting notification of an OTA update if you are using a radio that comes from a different stock build other than yakju.

Yes, I would recommend flashing the latest yakju image (if you don't mind wiping, as unlocking the bootloader will wipe your device). See link in my signature for how to flash to the latest yakju version.

No one knows the logic behind how updates are pushed out. Just flash the latest build, or update your current build (if your bootloader is unlocked). See link in my signature for how to update your build.
thank you guys especially efrant for your advise ijust rooted and unlocked my gnexus and flashed the last google image using tooklit so easy
I recibe the OTA update one hour ago, the problem with OTA updates is solved.

If you are running Stock ROM you should be getting the OTA. Be aware that you also have to have Stock Recovery in order to let the OTA install automatically. Rooting won't alone will not prevent the OTA but you will most probably loose the root and have to re-root.

Hello, my rooted Yakju Galaxy Nexus crashed this morning when it was being auto updated to 4.0.4 and now it's stuck on 4.0.2 and won't update (I had to pull the battery out to exit the error screen). How can I update to 4.0.4 build? Do I have to do it manually? if so, what are the proper steps to install the official google build for 4.0.4 OS?
It's simple, use the Toolkit

The update failed because you have something that is not stock, be it the kernel, recovery or any files in /system. You can replace whatever is not stock with the stock version, or you can just re-flash the stock ROM (see here for instructions).
ahh i actually used that ToolKit to root my phone. Also, is there a way to know what part of my phone doesn't use the stock?

Hello guys,
Can anyone tell me the steps of how to install Android 4.0.4 update to the stock, unrooted Android 4.0.2 on verizon samsung galaxy nexus?
Use the galaxy nexus 6.0 toolkit and choose the option you want. Its very quick and easy if you dony know hoebto manually use fastboot.

Download the IMM76K update file and put it at the root of the internal SDCard and make sure it is named update.zip. Then reboot into recovery and apply the update. If you are on stock 4.0.2 (ICL53F), the update will apply and you'll be on 4.0.4. Be warned that the only 4.0.4 packages we have currently are not official updates, so it is possible you will have to flash back to 4.0.2 to update to 4.0.4 in the future if the actual update is a different build.
But I just saw the steps on Android authority on how to update to 4.0.4. Could anyone please check those steps & let me know

Unless you receive the update OTA, there is NO way to do it without an unlocked bootloader or root or a custom recovery.
If you want to root without unlocking, do this, then apply the update by following this.

If he uses a toolkit like that, it will unlock his bootloader and wipe his data...

This will NOT work, as the file needs to be in /cache, not /sdcard, for the stock recovery to flash it on a GNex. It was different for other devices, but this does NOT work on a GNex, at least not the GSM version.

Want to explain how I was able to flash it in stock recovery then when I had it at the root of /sdcard? I was on fully stock 4.0.2 courtesy of the ICL53F images provided by Google, recovery included.

Not sure. Maybe it is different on the Verizon version.
I though it worked like that as well (because that's how it worked on my Nexus One and Nexus S). But it wasn't the case when I got my GNex (GSM version). It had to be in /cache.
Hi
I have a Galaxy Nexus with rooted ICS 4.0.4. The phone is free, and the SIM is from German O2.
Every half an hour I get the update message to 4.1.1, but so far I haven't updated it because I don't know if after the update the phone will be easily re-rooted.
I have Voodoo OTA RootKeeper, and I have read comments both about it working and not working in the Galaxy Nexus.
In the thread of the App in this forum isn't neither clear whether it is going to work, or not.
Can someone tell me clearly whether the root can be recovered with this app after updating, or not?
Thank you in advance,
Aykito
If you have a custom recovery why not flash a stock but rooted jelly bean rom
Is your bootloader unlocked???
If so, you can easily boot in CWM and then flash Superuser from there. In case OTA Rootkeeper fails. But I think it won't fail.
Cheers!
