i just want to ask if anyone can answer me?
i have a rooted yakju JB 4.1.1 JRO03C, with installed CWM touch, can i still receive OTA updates from google, when updates are again pushed later on?
You will receive the OTA. but will not be able to install since you are not on Stock Recovery.
You could however get the google OTA update link(will be updated in this thread Thanks to Efrant ) and use Clockwork mod's install zip from sdcard to install the update(remember to delete recovery folder inside the archive,to maintain CWM mod).
And you are done!

How can i delete recovery folder inside the archive?

You can easily just flash back stock recovery using fast boot or toolkit by getting the stock recovery image from the downloaded ota jb update zip when the time comes to update if you need to go from cwm back to stock recovery.

Open the ota update zip on your gnex wherever you have it stored on your phone an delete the recovery folder in it using es file explorer or whatever file manager you use, then apply the ota update zip with cwm so it doesn't install the stock recovery an just keeps your existing cwm recovery when your next update.

Hello,
is there an OTA package which i can flash with a stock recovery (my phone i locked, i don't like to have an unlocked bootloader)?
I am on 4.0.2 right now...
No, you need to be rooted or unlocked to flash the OTA package. Just wait for the official one, it will probably be pushed sometime during easter
I'm still waiting for the OTA aswell
I was pretty sure that the OTA process just downloads a file which will be flashed via the stock recovery. So if someone would have this stock OTA package (update.zip) i can just place in the internal storage and reboot into stock recovery. At least on my HTC Hero at 1.5 -> 1.6 it was working this way...must have remembered something wrong there...

Haven't tried it myself (since I am rooted and unlocked) but I recon that you can unlock (and loose ALL your data), root, flash the onetime CWM Recovery, flash the 4.0.4 stock image (by which you will loose root), relock (and loose ALL your data again).
At the end you would be completely stock again. That can all be done through the GNEX toolkit by Mskip that can be found here: Link.
You can download the official Google image from here: Link

that was probably right with the htc hero, also on my htc desire..because the ota package was picked by the stock recovery from the sdcard
but the stock recovery on our galaxy nexus with ics, expect the ota to be on the /cache partition..without root u can't write in that partition, only the os itself can write there

If you are on yakju, root using this method (note you only need temp root, so only do up to step 6), then place the update file from here to /cache and reboot into stock recovery and flash.

Thank you
Btw. it's easier to just root the OS (go above step 6) instead of only go to 6...for the cp command you will need busybox...i have seen "cat" somewhere but i couldn't figure out how it works...but i seems to be that you can copy files without installing busybox since cat is supported from android at stock...

Correct, that is why I used cat in my directions instead of cp, as you would not have busybox installed if you are not root...
I'm still on 4.0.1
Is there any way to force an OTA update to 4.0.2 or 4.0.4 without rooting. Or manually install an update with a .zip update through stock recovery rather than CWM. I am unable to get any OTA updates it says my system is up to date which it clearly isnt.

I have root and un-lock my Galaxy Nexus today and flash IMM76D which is download from Google developer page (https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images)
after finish all the step and updated to Android 4.0.4 Google official rom, I have received Android 4.0.4 System Update by OTA, and ask me reboot the phone !
after rebooting, Build number is updated to IMM76I. and the Baseband version is I9250XXLA2.
But I can not go into CWM anymore after updated by OTA. that's it is normal case......????????????
why un-root after updated by OTA ???????

Your meant to pull the battery out when your flashing the ROM .. geeeez some people don't read instructions anymore!
Remember! Pull your battery out whilst flashing!
Rename the OEM recovery restore file, reflash CWM recovery, and you should be good to go.
Gnex toolkit should help, if you don't have it already.

Everything is in the OTA update instruction thread...

Notes:
6) As with all stock updates from Google, these updates will change the permissions on the su binary so, in effect, you will lose root (for those who have it). Install supercurio's OTA Rootkeeper BEFORE you do all this, or, for those with an unlocked bootloader or CWM installed, just re-flash ChainsDD's Superuser zip file found here in CWM, or manually change the permission via ADB (mount the system and chmod 4755 /system/bin/su) while booted in CWM.

Yup. That is in there as well...
efrant said:
Notes:
5) For those of you that don't know, there are two files that re-flash the stock recovery on every boot (/system/recovery-from-boot.p and /system/etc/install-recovery.sh). You need to make sure that these files are either deleted or renamed, or else CWM will disappear when you reboot. These files serve no purpose other than re-flashing the stock recovery on every boot. So, if you've recently gotten an OTA and applied it, your CWM is gone...

What's the intention here? There's no need for this if you're not helping/explaining. What if he did and brick his phone? Would that make you happy?
Flash the zip file provided in the link below through CWM/TWRP recovery to root your nexus and install busybox.
It works on both ICS as well as JB.
I will try to keep this updated as required.

Before you install busy box make a backup first because it changes system files and the when the next OTA comes out it will fail to install

A nandroid backup?
Hello guys,
Just a quick noob question to which I get different answers: If I flash from yakjuxw to yakju and choose to flash a custom recovery, will I be able to receive OTA updates?
Thanks in advance
You will receive them, but you won't be able to install them if your recover isn't stock.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
To add to what Petrovski80 said, you wont be able to install the update over-the-air, but you will be able to install it by downloading it to /sdcard and rebooting into CWM and installing it from there.
EDIT: And in most cases, you will likely see the update here before you get it over-the-air on your device.
And if I have flashed mods/kernels through CWM and i install the update, will the mods be preserved or do I have to flash them again?

If you flash "mods/kernels", the update will NOT install. If you change any of the original stock files, the update will NOT install.

THIS.
The official jelly bean 4.2.1 is now on Google servers for the sprint galaxy nexus. I don't have a computer at hand and wanted to know if I could just download it to my phone then with a file browser app move it to the SD card and apply update through the recovery. (I have no root)
Sorry if this is a dumb question.
I believe you can download it and just rename it to update.zip and install it but I believe you can't have made any changes to your system and have to be on the latest stock rom.

Yea, I am running full stock no root. It is running everything as if fresh out of the box.
You're talking about a full factory image on the google servers. Since it downloads as a .tgz, I think you'd need to unzip it and rezip it in .zip format. Try this thread for just the update, rather than the whole img: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1419170
Edit: I have not read the entire 38 pages of that thread, but "In order for these updates to install, you need at least one of the following: an unlocked bootloader OR a custom recovery OR root." I'm not quite sure why...It seems if you renamed it, and stock recovery allows the application of update.zip, it should work..Check post #2, method 4. That is through adb, but still i wonder. Anyone else have any ideas on this?

To load a custom recovery you need to be bootloader unlocked.
To update through a factory image downloaded from official website, the normal, Google procedure is to extract the contents and execute flash-all (sh, Linux/Mac; bat, Windows) with device connected and recognized in fastboot interface.

I got the update.zip but where do I put it to apply it from recovery mode.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Did you decide to use a pc? Stock recovery only give the options to apply update from adb, or apply update from usb.. If you go the cwm and an unlocked bootloader path, then you can place it on the sdcard, at data/media/0.
Edit: If you were to unlock your bootloader, you can only boot cwm, rather than flash it, to preserve your stock system and ota ability. fastboot boot CWM.img..
