Jelly Bean OTA for IMM76I - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

So I purchased my Nexus directly from the Play Store a few months ago. My build version is IMM76I
I have no modified my phone in any way, no unlock, bootloaders, custom roms, nothing! its all completly stock.
How come I am not able to receive the Jelly Bean update?
Also, how come I'm the only one with the IMM76I build? everyone else seems to have takju or yakju? whats the difference?

The rollout may take several weeks if you don't want to manually update. Eventually you will get the notification. There is a workaround that works sometimes by deleting Google Services Framework data and then checking for an update again.

I believe IMM76I is the code for yakju 4.0.4, so you have yakju.

No, he bought from the Play Store so he has takju. I have a phone from the Play Store and am on build IMM76I and am still awaiting the Jelly Bean OTA as well. I've tried checking frequently throughout the day since the announcement and also just leaving the phone alone to check by itself and still nothing yet. Growing impatient. Wish that Google with specify the tentative length and specifics of their OTA rollouts instead of just saying "over the next several days." Soon it will be more than "several days" and turn into "more than a week" and then "several weeks."

Try as bozzkid told. Go to setting >apps>all and then select Google services framework. Just force stop it and clear data and check for update I am sure you'll get it

just did this and got the message for update to 4.1 but it says wifi only
I have no wifi connection around me, I'm on Tmobile 4G, any way to trick the system to proceed with the download?

I'm new to Android after 3 years with an iPhone. I bought an unlocked Galaxy Nexus from the Google Play store specifically so I'd be able to upgrade to Jelly Bean as soon as it was available and not have to deal with carrier delays. Now, nearly a week after the release, I'm still waiting. Already tried the clear framework trick, which didn't work and resulted in multiple reboots and log in/out to Google Play to get everything working again.
This is one area where Apple kicks Google's butt. When a new iOS releases, everyone who has an eligible phone can download it immediately. Even with the small install base of the Galaxy Nexus, they still aren't rolling out to everyone.
Come on Google, get your act together and release the OTA update to all unlocked Galaxy Nexus phones. Enough with the staggered release.

No, have to find a wifi.

Agreed. Or perhaps they could provide a stock method of being able to apply an update zip if you're not able to update OTA.

If you have a friend with a smartphone capable of providing wifi hotspot, that will work for getting the update via "wifi".

Finally got my OTA notification this morning when I manually checked at 11:04 AM. Downloading now... Good things do come to those who wait, I suppose.

I also am on giffgaff in the UK. Got my galaxy nexus this morning. It is a yagju build (i.e. should be google, not Samsung updated).
I too am stuck on 4.0.1, kernel ITL41D, so the volume bug hasn't even been fixed, which is driving me mad. As far as I can tell, it should be downloading two updates. The volume fix (ITL41D) and 4.0.2, but I am getting neither.
I tried a factory reset and set up everything from fresh, but no joy.
it toom me like 4days after volumn bug fix was release to et OTA update. By tgat time i was on custom rom.
Ive factory reset now and waiting manually flashes volumn bug and now waiti.g for 4.0.2 OTA or for someone to post a linl to it.

How do i know whether Google or Samsung will Update my nexus?
Am not entirely sure but the is a thread somewhere about it.
Im on Giffgaff and got the update in the early hours of this morning.
My GNEX is sim free and locale is set to US although im in the uk.
My gnex also showed up as "o2 galaxy nexus" in the market but I just edited the nickname in the market control panel so now it shows as "galaxy nexus"
Download Android System Info from Market. If build is yakju then it's a Google build. Anything else is probably a Samsung build.

It does not matter where you are or what carrier you are on. It only matters what software version you are at, your IMEI is up, and you have internet access. You don't even need a SIM in the phone, only a wifi connection.

Doing this will break push notifications in some apps like Twitter, IMDB, Android Lost, etc. It depends on the app. If you stop receiving notifications from an app after doing this trick, the only way to get it working again is to clear the app's data and set it up again.

Is there a real advantage to having the .04 OTA over a ROM that is .04?
Not necessarily, except IMM76K could have some kind of telephony code that custom AOSP ROMs wouldn't have...but we wouldn't know that for sure until IMM76K gets tagged in AOSP, if it ever does.

Good to know.
I didn't want to restore to .02 and do all the hubub getting there if it really isn't necessary.

I have tried this a million of times, still no update
What worked for me on two devices so far was yo follow instructions and clear the data/force close. Then when you go check for updates and the screen says "last checked on 12/31/1969", quickly and repeatedly press the check now button. I pressed it as fast as I could and within a few seconds it started downloading the update. On my second phone I did this on, it worked the first try.

The same for me. I have a Google Galaxy Nexus and I can't force the update from 4.0.3 to 4.0.4
I tried a lot of tricks like the one you give, and it still does not want to update... I bought it directly from Google so there is no carrier involved...

Well then you must have installed a non-stock ROM at some point because no Galaxy Nexus model that I'm aware of has ever had Android 4.0.3 installed on it.
This method worked for me first try, first push of the button. Thanks!

Thanks for your answer.
The fact is I was working at Google 6 months ago and so Google deployed 4.0.3 on my phone. Now that I'm gone, I'm stuck with 4.0.3 and I can't apparently update to 4.0.4. Any idea on how to change "admin" settings or downgrade to default version and then upgrade?
Thanks
I finally made the update.
I had to unlock my bootloader and then I used the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit to install 4.0.4 as the factory image. then, I used the OTA to have 4.1.1 (aka Jelly Bean).
The most important thing is to install the Android ADB Interface driver, so that your phone is available while on recovery mode.
After all these steps, you can lock the bootloader again, what I did

Updated to 4.3

I bought a new N7 a couple of nights ago and as soon as I turned it on it prompted me to update to 4.4. Easy peasy I was on 4.4.
My friend bought one tonight from the same store, same manufacturing batch, sealed box. When we turned it on and did the activation it prompted to update to 4.3??? I have no idea what the current version was since this was literally the unboxing. Checking for updates it says he is up to date.
He lives only a couple of miles away and it's two days later so the 4.4 update is available in the area. We weren't really trying to troubleshoot it but the device was rebooted a time or to and I would check for updates.
I know a day or two may resolve everything but it's the 4.3 update that I didn't see (I wasn't watching very closely) on my device, and the fact that it should have already been on 4.3.
Any ideas what might be happening?

That's the standard issue with OTA. Tell your friend to clear data of Google Play Services. If his system is still "Up to date." try unlocking bootloader and flashing KitKat factory image. Just YouTube it!
Go to settings, Apps, All, Google Settings Framework, DISABLE Google Services framework, Clear data then force stop, Then enable it again. Then go to settings about tablet, system update
Thanks. I know how to do those things. I was curious about the difference between my update and his given they were both brand new. Thanks for the replies.

First I understand I can manually put my friend on 4.4 but I'm trying to figure out what is going on. I returned my phone to JSS15R which is what he is on and boom, it updated to 4.4
What build does this model (2013) ship with. JSS15Q? Something older on earlier devices?
Unfortunately I have no idea what I started on but I don't recall doing/seeing a 4.3 update get installed.
I can't imagine that two devices with the same build month (08) would have different version of JB on them.
I'm leaning towards a return. Why screw around. Some devices are just possessed.

The first mandatory update is deceptive because it says you are getting 4.3 and you are already on 4.3. Any update to 4.3 will say you are getting 4.3.
What happened was they shipped JWR66N 4.3 signed with developer keys by mistake.
They then forced a small mandatory update (as in you have no choice, it won't let you continue until you update) to resign JWR66N with release keys. That is the update your friend got.
Some of the newer units shipped with JSS15J, which is already signed with release keys so they won't see the mandatory update.
As long as the tablet works, don't worry about it. They will all eventually get the 4.4 update.
Perfect, thanks

Per this article the updates are expected sometime in late March(end of Q1 2014).
Kitkat & touchwiz combination sounds good but again no idea how many new restrictions it will come with.
4.3 took too long but the wait was not worth it. I am happy with 4.3 on 4.1 bootloader.
I hope there isn't a requirement to update the bootloader.

I've got the AT&T model (SGH-I317) of the Note II running 4.1.2. (I317UCALK7), but I'm on T-Mobile now.
I received 4.1.2 OTA after rooting.
I have been unable to get any updates past 4.1.2, even when manually checking.
A few days ago I checked again and instead of telling me there was an error when checking for updates, it told me there was an update (around 185.75 MB). It downloaded, but failed to install.
I'd really like to be able to get the official/TouchWiz 4.4 build installed.
When 4.4 does hit, should I be trying to get the T-Mobile version or the AT&T version? Or does it not matter?
It looks like I won't be able to get the update OTA since I can't get any updates OTA now and I'm stuck on 4.1.2, but surely there will be a dump I can grab online and load myself, right?

So any idea if a TouchWiz ROM with WiFi calling ONLY happen if T-Mobile releases an official ROM first, or is there a way for devs to make a 4.4.2 with WiFi calling based on the component present in the 4.3 build?
T-Mobile could win me for life by doing two things:
1) Improve rural reception (I know they're working on it with all that new 700Mhz spectrum)
2) Release WiFi calling as an app for T-Mobile customers so I could be free to run a non-TW ROM

Mostly because I'm not interested in changing my phone number (WiFi calling I only really need for incoming calls), and I want to get SMS texts to my current phone #.
Really wish T-Mobile would just release a WiFi calling app for its customers so that I could go AOSP. I am not liking TouchWiz at all after being on an original Droid w/Bugless Beast and then Nexus devices.

You can backup your existing data on your Nexus 7, then flash the Stock Factory Image that Google provided and install and enjoy... The first boot though takes 5-7 mins.. Restore your personal Data, NOT the data partition.. Lollipop handles the file structure a tad differently..
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
Edit: when installing a factory image, it completely wipes your device, verses an OTA..
If you look hard enough you can find someone who has posted the OTA here on XDA..
But if you are rooted, using Xposed, Custom Kernel, or a Custom recovery you will not be able to update..

This misses the point of having a Nexus. This is XDA I am sure people know they can flash it. The point of a Nexus is to get the updates right away from google. I have other devices which I flash roms on but bought a Nexus for the pure google experience.

There is trick, I forgot how or what.. But it resets the Google cache, and you hammer on update and sometimes rather than not.. the update would pop up.. Someone please remind me of how that is done, I just find the OTA here and sideload it, or install the Factory image..
They are rolling the updates in certain areas in a controlled manor so if something really bad pops up that can stop it from hitting every device at once
If you've never seen this , give it a read, explains why the OTA may have not reached your device yet.

Rollouts are conducted in phases. Typically they start at 1% of devices for around 24 - 48 hours; we watch the return rates and resulting device checkins and error reports (if any), and make sure nothing looks wrong before sending it to more. Then typically it goes to 25%, 50%, 100% over the course of a week or two.
What the percentages mean is that when your device checks in, it has a 1% chance (for example) of being offered the OTA. If it doesn't (randomly) get an offer, it will never get an offer until the next batch.
IOW, once your device checks in and gets turned down, that's it until the next batch. Mashing on the "check for updates" button just causes your device to check in again, and get automatically turned down again.

Neomagus, That's good info. I'm wondering at 8 days out whether we have days to wait vs another week or two to wait.

A google engineer replied to this on reddit
"Doing this changes the primary ID by which Google knows your device. As far as the servers are concerned, the device was basically factory reset. There are many downstream effects of this, but a big one is that this invalidates the tokens used by any app that uses GCM (which is nearly all the Google apps, and a ton of third-party apps.)
How apps react to GCM IDs changing varies by app. With Play Store you have to log out and log back in, I think Gmail usually handles it transparently eventually but won't get new mail notifications for a while, etc. Some apps you may have to clear data on to recover. All apps will simply stop getting GCM push-messages, until they get a new GCM ID; some do this frequently, others rarely, and some apps use the GCM ID as an ID on their own servers (as it is opaque and basically random), so other things besides push messages may not work.
Nothing bursts into flames, but it makes a ton of nuisances on the device, including some that can look pretty mysterious. Your mileage will vary depending on what apps you use.
All of this can be avoided by just doing an 'adb sideload' if you are impatient."
