Jelly Bean OTA downloads but fails to install - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I got the notification that JB is ready to download, it downloaded fine and I clicked on Restart & Install. After restarting, the "working" Android icon becomes a 'lying down' Android with a red warning side on top. There is not other info. After a minute the phone restarts and boots back into 4.0.4.
My GNexus is running a rooted stock 4.0.4 firmware, yakju, build numer IMM76I, baseband I9250XXK6, kernel 3.0.8-gda6252b
I'm thinking that something is failing validation at the beginning... is there a way to force install it? Do I need to flash it manually? I'd hate to re-install everything. Other than root, I'm really not interested in any other mods.
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks for the quick reply... how do I get that? I thought what I had was stock and it should be upgradable.

download this and extract it: https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/yakju-imm76i-factory-8001e72f.tgz
use this thread and download the fastboot files if you dont have them already and use the commands for windows to flash just the bootloader and radio: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1366806
for the fastboot commands use this:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-maguro-primela03.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-maguro-i9250xxla02.img
then restart and wait for the ota update again and it should work

Worked like a charm! Thanks a lot. Tasting some sweet Jelly Bean right now

Should this work for all Galaxy Nexi?

Thanks for this, should this also work for International GSM Galaxy Nexus in Australia? Just not sure if those radios are ok.
My full story incase it matters...
Unlocked bootloader and rooted (did not replace recovery image)
added a custom boot animation
received ICS OTA updates (Lost root but didn't care)
Cleared Data on Google Service Frameworks to encourage JB update
Recieved 4.1 update but same problem as OP describes with dead robot
I have stock 4.0.4 firmware, yakju, build numer IMM76I, baseband I9250XXLA2, kernel 3.0.8-gda6252b
Thanks for any help.

Two questions

First, I'm running pics 4.0.2 unaltered(no root), the Google music app doesn't want to play any of the mp3 files I have in memory, it says "cannot play track you requested"
I've tried everything(clear cache,data, uninstall upgrades) and nothing, is there a fix for it? Cause other players work fine
Also about running stock 4.0.2, the clerk told me that unbranded GSM GNs could be updated to 4.0.4 right away OTA so I check updates and it updated from 4.0.1 to 0.2 and that's it, it says I already have the latest
Is it a regional thing? Do I have to wait ? Or am I missing something?
Thanks people
Also my model number is V23-I9250 I'd it helps

Manually update the phone to latest version, it might solve your problem. Read this thread, which is the sticky thread of this Q&A section, follow the instruction until you fastboot oem unlock. Then download the factory image here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#yakju
Extract the files in the zip, then flash them using these commands while in fastboot mode:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-maguro-primela03.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-maguro-i9250xxla02.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot -w update image-takju-imm76i.zip
I guess you will need to know the APN info for your carrier and manually input it.
Thanks man, i'll see what i can do

Download the IMM76I yakju package from here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#yakjuimm76i
Unzip it and reboot your phone into fastboot mode, connect it to the PC, open a terminal and write:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-maguro-primela03.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-maguro-i9250xxla02.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot -w update image-yakju-imm76i
fastboot oem lock (to lock bootloader)
fastboot reboot
Now it should be completely stock.
If you don't mind me asking, what phone are you planning on buying?

A little problem; Fastboot doesnt get recongnized, adb works fine though. Any ideas ?
EDIT: Fixed, just moved the fastboot.exe from the SDK folder to the yakju-imm76i folder.
And another note; fastboot -w update image-yakju-imm76i should be fastboot -w update image-yakju-imm76i.zip
Thanks alot though.

[Q] do i have to relock bootloader to get OTA ?

Do I have to relock my bootloader and remove CwM recovery to get the OTA updates ?
Relock, no. But you can't have Cwm recovery, and your rom have to be completely stock.

So I'm on JellyBean but with the XXLA2 radio. Can the OTA include and replace my radio? I'm debating whether I flash the new radio now or just wait for the OTA.

In order for you to get OTA updates, all these images on your device need to match: boot, system, radio, bootloader, recovery. So to get future OTA updates to install, if you are running JB and the JB stock kernel, you need to be running the XXLF1 radio and the LC03 bootloader, and the recovery that came with JB.

Everything is stock on my phone including the recovery. So I'll flash the new radio then. After I run fastboot flash radio whateverfile.img do I have to reboot to bootloader again or just fastboot reboot and that's it?
Also, I don't see an LC01 bootloader on the JB thread. I'm still on PRIMELA03.

So to confirm, thus far I have flashed the stock Jellybean ROM. Is there a separate kernel that needs to be flashed, or was that taken care of by flashing the JB ROM?
I see that I need the new radio XXLF1, which I'll flash tonight. I see that efrant has listed two versions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27984443&postcount=1097; if I go through fastboot and temporarily flash CWM through fastboot boot cwm.img, which version should I use? I assume I would then use the CWM version? Otherwise, I would use fastboot flash radio xxx.img for the non-CWM file?
Is the PRIMELC03 - Source: takju JRN84D update bootloader the correct one? I don't see the LC01 that efrant mentioned in his post above? And I would flash using fastboot hboot xxx.img?
Last dumb question: After flashing the JB update, I still have the stock recovery...this doesn't change, correct? In other words, I can leave it as is and now that I have the stock ROM, Radio, Bootloader and left the recovery alone, I should be 100% updated to have OTAs again?

Ok, thanks. I apologize for being so cautious, but I really want to understand how to do everything from fastboot as opposed to flashing through CWM. I would prefer to keep a stock recovery and stock files for now.
Could someone confirm that the following is correct?
1. Flash new radio: Download the .zip and EXTRACT into folder that contains fastboot.exe
Run Command:
fastboot flash radio xxlf1.img
2. Flash new bootloader: download the .zip and EXTRACT into folder.
Run Command:
fastboot hboot LC03.img
3. Stock recovery is kept in place after flashing JB ROM (red exclamation mark with Android on his back)?
4. Stock Kernel was flashed over with the JB ROM as well?

Not quite. (I bet you are coming from an HTC device, right? )
Download the XXLF1 radio and rename the image xxlf1.img (for simplicity);
Download the LC03 bootloader and rename the image to lc03.img;
(Yes, they have to be in the same directory as fastboot.)
Reboot into fastboot mode and type:
fastboot flash bootloader lc03.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio xxlf1.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot reboot
For your points 3 and 4: yes and yes

Cool I already have JB. Fastboot is still the recommended way, right? At least in my N1, NS days it was supposed to make sure files were flashed successfully whereas CWM couldn't verify it. It just flashed files and you'd find out after a reboot. Is that still the case?

That was certainly true for the N1. Samsung devices are a little different, and not as easy to brick. I guess you are "safer" with fastboot, but it doesn't make much if a difference on Samsung.

If it's a new one, it's locked. If it's used you'll know because you will see an icon of an unlocked padlock at the bottom of the screen.
edit: the padlock only shows up when you turn it on.

UNROOT ERROR: flashed sprint stock image on my verizon nexus by accident!!!! HELP PLZ

Guys, I was new at the rooting process. Flashed Jellybean on Successfully. Got a Nexus 7, wanted to do wifi tether, no apps work with jellybean yet so in short, I wanted to go back to stock 4.0.4 with my Verizon Nexus. locked and unrooted.
I went through the steps on the Wugs toolkit but I downloaded the Spring factory image by mistake, I was suppose to flash IMM76K. Now my phone is back and locked but NO SIGNAL. I guess the radios aren't right, naturally. i'm at a loss. I tried to download the IMM76K but it's one file in the zip compared to like 6 in the sprint one. I can't use my phone. Any detailed instructions would be so greatly appreciated
download sprint room. and download sprint radio. there should be a radio thread in sprint development, im sure
Try the GNex tool kit to unlock root install recovery.
If it doesn't work go through the steps in the tool kit to flash stock again and then unlock,root,recovery.
The 4.1 radio works better for me than any of the 4.0.4 radios.
Stop using tool kits.
Use the guide in my signature
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
The file you got for your verizon gnex is a zip you have to open to reveal all the other files.
once you unzip it put it in the same folder as your adb.exe
then use the following commands from command prompt
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-toro-primela03.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-toro-i515.fc05.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio-cdma radio-cdma-toro-i515.fa04.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot -w update image-mysid-imm76k.zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot oem lock
you may want to still do a factory reset/wipe from recovery after to make sure everything is lined up right.

[Q] Need help updating to Hboot 1.72

Hello all,
The name of this post says it all really, I am trying to update to Hboot 1.72 but I have no idea how This may be difficult as I have a new computer, and don't have any of the old folder I used to do this before so I will have to start from scratch again I have the Android SDK, so I can take any files needed from there, but apart from that I literally have nothing. Also, I am a complete novice with all this stuff so you may need to "dumb down" your answers a bit Thanks in advance.
Current:
Hboot: 1.32.0000
CID: HTC_001
CWM: 5.8.4.0

The reason I'm trying to do this is because I'm on CyanogenMod 10.1 and the 10.2 update (Android 4.3) requires the newer hboot, so how would I go about doing this myself (step by step)?
Also Tigerlight, I'm fairly confident that JB FW doesn't let you use non Sense based ROM's afterwards, and to be honest I prefer doing things like this myself rather than letting software do it for you
Well...
You should be able to have CM 1.2 on 1.39...
But you Will have to wait for the firmware zip to be uploaded here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957376
in order to be able to update it manually... You could download the OTA files and extract that firmware.zip yourself and than find a tutorial on how to flash a firmware.zip... there are plenty of them out here

JBFW flasher upgrades hboot, which has nothing whatsoever to do with what Sense or AOSP ROM you flash afterward so long as that hboot is compatible.
And why on earth type all the instructions manually when the tools exist.
And the 1.72 hboot firmware has been uploaded HERE.

Ok, may have been a bit wrong there..... :silly: Still, I like to learn how to do this sort of thing so that if anything ever goes wrong I have the knowledge to fix it. Once I have the firmware, what do I need to do?
Just downloaded JBFW out of interest, and when you go to update it says this: After upgrade you will not be able to - Install a fully functional Non-Sense ROM, so I was right that I can't use that software, and anyway wouldn't want to tbph Anyone know how to manually update hboot given that I have no files from when I rooted anymore? :laugh:
Once you have the firmware.zip file you have to
1:relock the bootloader
Fastboot oem lock
2: boot into ruu mode
Fastboot oem rebootRUU
3: flash the firmware.zip
Fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
Maybe needed twice (only if the command returns an error)
Then unlock the bootloader and flash a custom recovery. Preferably repacked twrp, or philz touch recovery.
Then full wipe the phone in recovery and install the rom.zip and fastboot flash the boot.img.
That sums it up pretty much

Thanks Mr Hofs,
Already found out about 20 mins ago: you actually responded to someone else a while back and I used those instructions. I may have messed up quite a lot though: forgot to put the CM 10.2 zip on the phone before hand and now the phone is acting really weird..... I'll let you know if I need help but I have a few ideas first
Thanks again, I appreciate the help.
