[Q] UK GN on v4.0.2 any OTA updates due??

Hi,
My GN is on UK/EU version of android 4.0.2 ICL53F. I've seen a lot of people talk of 4.0.3 and 4.0.4. Is there anything doe OTA for Europe?? I tried googling this (ironically), but no joy.

there was a 4.0.4 OTA upgrade released but it broke some peoples Galaxy Nexus (mine included) so it was pulled. You can still download it from the google Android website, and then patch it to fix the potential signal problem, but if you are not comfortable doing this kind of thing I'm sure there will be a new IT'S update soon, possibly to 4.0.5.

There was never a 4.0.3 OTA.
They pulled the original 4.0.4 OTA because of radio drop-out issues, and now have a small 4.0.4 OTA that fixes them. Presumably current 4.0.2 users will go straight to the fixed 4.0.4 OTA soon.
You can apply them manually also.

Great, thanks. I guess I'll wait another month or so.

Question from a nexus noob

This is my first nexus device, ive owned several other droids but now that i tried the nexus and all its features and advantages, i love it, so much that im not buying anything else till the next one comes out
So the question:
Ive heard jelly bean is coming(i hope it comes for this too), so if it does come, how do i update it? Is the whole thing going to be pushed OTA too? Or do i have to use Kies like with other samsungs? Or do i have to flash an image too?
That thought Its been bugging me for days since i switched to yakju
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus

Its been advertised that the galaxy nexus will be the first phone with jelly bean. This means the GSM nexus straight from Google. Cdma should see it in a few weeks in a form of a custom rom possibly. Usually in the form as an OTA or a hopefully a direct update link... like I have seen from my previous phones.
Sent From My Sprint Galaxy Nexus

Thru OTA just like the rest of the updates although I'm pretty sure the moment it comes out we will get the link at once for manual flashing. Kies won't work because that's only for samsung proprietary products. Ours may be made by samsung but it's still a Google phone
Still on stock Nexus and loving it!

Kies is Samsung phones with Touchwiz only.

So would we be getting jelly bean the day it is announced, or will we just be getting introduced to the new operating system?

IT will be just an introduction and then over a few weeks/months it will get rolled out.

Despite have flashed yakju, you will likely not be the first person here on XDA to get the update. As soon as we get the download link (from the first person to post it here), all you have to do is download it from, and follow the instructions in, this thread. Otherwise, just wait for the update to come to your device OTA (although this could take days or weeks after the first person to get it).

The non-yakju non-GSM models will take quite a bit longer to be updated, as Sprint and Verizon have to go through their verification and testing.

You'll be notified in the status bar when your phone gets picked to receive it OTA. You will get it.

Remember, updates are rolled out in batches.

Anybody think yakuux version will get OTA later?

I have yakuux and don't want to wipe it and reflash to international version, so that probably means that I won't get the God damn update until like end of the July? Hopefully Google sent the ROM to Samsung already so they can modify it for us before the date...
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

To be honest I don't think yakjuux will ever see any update. We're the only variant still on 4.0.1 as far as I know. Doesn't seem like Samsung gives a crap about Canada.

I agree and that's why I took the plunge and flashed yakju 4.0.4 and everything seems to be better than on yakjuux 4.0.2.

Oh they'll see it....just a while later down the track...maybe, just maybe when the next iteration of Android comes out . Nah kidding, they'll just get it a couple months later.

We've waited for 4.0.2 for six months OTA, much less 4.0.4. And 4.1 will hit YAKJU In July.
Maybe after Google releases the next Nexus phone will YAKJUUX get 4.0.4, and then 4.1. That's a hood reason to go YAKJU - at least the update exists.

Theres no other choice for you man, so backup what you can and wipe that thing, why wait if you dont have to
I was reluctant at first but then my balls grew and i flashed that yakju image, and now its confirmed im getting JB(i hope, better chance than you at least)
So do it(carefully)

I don't think 4.0.2 was ever fully released for yakjuux. I'm still on 4.0.1. They had that faulty version which disabled NFC and bugged the market, so it was pulled quite quickly. No word on any other updates after that.

Flash to yakju or takju IMO. Rip off the band-aid and get it over with.

I'm gonna have to grow some balls and then I'll flash to yakju. I'm sick of being on 4.0.1.

I had no idea it was this bad. I thought you guys were at least on 4.0.2, but 4.0.1? No updates in six months? That's quite simply disgraceful, and I'm surprised that there isn't more of a fuss being made about it.

Have anyone here still not received OTA?

Hi I am an Asia user and have an Asia version nexus. Yesterday I tried to update my cellphone but showed failure. I don't know why. is this a hardware issue or the Asia area is still not on the OTA list.
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using XDA

What failure are you getting? And also what OTA are you waiting for/hoping to receive?

I guess he means JB 4.1
Dude this update hasnt been released yet, mid of the month hopefully
Yesterday I also tried with my GTab 10.1 to manual update, I also got some error messages that the server wasnt reachable or something similar. I waited just a couple of hours and then it worked and told me "no update for you". Guess it was hammered by 7.7 users Just try again

Isn't the Asian one the one still on 4.0.2 or something?

Well I'm a Saudi Arabian model and I m still on 4.0.2.....

I don't understand why people are hesitant on upgrading their OS manually if they are eagerly waiting for the newest one. There are no drawbacks and you can go to your "official" version any time you want for warranty purpose.

Canada is still on 4.0.1 volume fix, since the Canadian build (yakjuux) didn't receive any updates since. The 4.0.2 update was pushed in February/March but due to NFC issues and Play store issues it was pulled, and never re-initiated.
So Canada is on 4.0.1, yakjuxw is on 4.0.4 along with the Google builds (yakju and takju), and the remaining builds are on 4.0.2.

Imagine you buy any product for it's one specific advertised feature. You pay full price and then surprise: that one feature is just not there. You can easily fix it yourself, but wouldn't you be angry? Everybody knows there are options to flash whatever you want manually, but the point is you were lied to and paid for something that you didn't get.

OK. I am not confident yet to update manually. Have spent the last couple days learning more about this.
My main concern is that when jellybean is released officially. (I know you guys probly have it but I like things to be easy, still find rooting etc to be rather daunting)
My phone isn't much but its rather special

As for the GSM non-yakju/non-takju builds, yakjuux (Canada), yakjujp (Middle East), and yakjuxe (Russia) are on 4.0.1/4.0.2. The remainder have had the 4.0.4 OTA either rolled out, or is in the process of being rolled out.

The process of flashing a yakju or takju ROM (including 4.1) is significantly easier than you might think. No "rooting" required.
Take a look at the flash link in my signature. Part of the first post will show you how to unlock your bootloader, and once that is done, the second post will tell you how to get the official 4.1 build (which can receive OTA updates).

Galaxy nexus Yakju users waiting OTA waiting room

This thread is strictly for people who are waiting for the OTA , no posts about switching to takju allowed or like the last thread the moderator will close it. In this thread yakju users report if they got the ota update , and also talk about there frustrations while waiting for the ota. thats it .
I think there is a problem with the ota , that has to be the reason for the hold up . If there wasn't no problem , they would have rolled it out by now . Hopefully google gets it fixed soon and we too can enjoy some 4.2 goodness

Yeah, its very delayed, this might be like when 4.1 came out.
Yakju users didnt get it till 4.1.1 and by then a bunch of people had jumped to the takju ship.
Well here we are impatienly waiting for Ota
Ps: another rule, dont post stuff like all those "ive got it but it didnt work" or "mine magically transformed into a takju"
False hope sucks and drives the check now button spammers crazy

Please don't forget: anyone who receives the yakju OTA, please pull the logcat before applying the update, so that everyone else can install the update manually

yep still waiting! Yakju user/
Updated my N7 a few hours ago.. so far pretty nice i like brightness slider.. finally works like it should. Power toggles use to stop youtube playback when you wanted to adjust brightness now it's does not affect video playback!

I'm pretty sure 4.1 was only a developer's preview build that came with phones given away at Google I/O. It was never an OTA, therefore it was never "delayed".
