...I downloaded the 4.0.4 update and went to install and reboot. But the phone got stuck at the screen with the android belly up and a exclamation point. Pulled the battery and rebooted and was at 4.0.2 still. Haven't gotten another OTA notification. Do I get another OTA alert or do I have to update manually.
I have a GSM Nexus, rooted but with stock 4.0.2. And I activated OTA RootKeeper before downloading the update. Any help will be greatly accepted.

Besides root and maybe unlock your bootloader, did you change anything in your system (install mods, different radio etc. or rename system files)? If you are not completely stock your OTA will not work and you will have to update manually or get back to Stock first.

Nothing changed. Except for root and unlocked bootloader everything is stock.

Well the screen you were looking at (Android belly up) is the stock recovery. If you see that: no need to pull battery. Simply push volume up + power simultaneously and you'll get into the recovery menu. Scrolling through the options can be done with the volume buttons, select with the power button.
That said: I think no one knows for sure but I myself would not wait and update myself. There are a lot of guides here on how to do that and if you flash the stock images you will have the same as anyone who had the OTA. Make a proper backup first (you allways should)! You will lose all your data if you have to unlock your bootloader.

Have you installed CWM recovery installed?
The "belly up" android is the phone trying to boot in the stock recovery to update the phone. But as you may have CWM recovery installed (which replaces the stock recovery) the phone cannot complete the update.
You will need to re-install the stock recovery. I believe you can do this with the GNex Toolkit.

Is it possible to get the Stock Recovery Screen when you have CWM installed? Didn't think that was possible... that it would just boot into CWM recovery. That is why I didn't mention it (trying to learn here).
Same problem here. Stock 4.0.2, rooted, CWM installed.
Does this mean we will lose settings before we are able to update the device?

this mean you are not eligible for the OTA update mate, because you have a custom recovery
i suggest you to
flash the stock rom manually
flash a custom rom wih 4.04 inside
my 2 cents

I don't even understand why I have CWM installed in the first place. I only neet root acces, all the rest can stay stock for all I care... Is there a way to avoid these problems in the future? So be able to root and OTA at the same time?

custom recovery is needed in order to install custom ROM dude, is quite simple
and yes, you can root the stock ROM without custom recovery, there are a lot of guide about that in the developer section

So my only option to fix this now is flash 4.0.4 manually (will I lose stuff?) and then root again and get stock recovery back? Sorry for my n00b questions, thanks for your help!
Edit: would it be easier if I just get the stock recovery back and then try to get the OTA to turn up again?

Thank you master for your soothing words. I just want my Galaxy Nexus to be like he is right out of the box, but rooted. Thats all I need from him... I am guessing my girlfriends Nexus S is going to be a pain in my assholes in a few weeks bc its still on GB and my TF101 will also go haywire because of my rooting adventures...
First this GN nuisance... Guess I am going to have to wait until tomorrow, I am flying to Dublin in about two hours and I don't think I can fix this in time...

I want to manually flash 4.0.4 and stay unrooted. Should I use the GNex Toolkit to flash 4.0.4 directly or do I need to flash the same version I have on my phone?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
I had the same issue described by the OP, the belly up android when trying to update to 4.0.4 from the OTA notification. I had previously changed to 4.0.2 yakju using efrant's instructions from the first post in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1391881
However, I had skipped the optional sections. In particular step 12 to flash the recovery partition. I went back and just executed step 12 (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img) and rebooted. Then I was able to update to 4.0.4 successfully from the OTA notification.
I'm guessing I didn't have the "stock recovery" because I previously had the default Samsung version?
Just got the update again OTA, and again the belly up droid. I'm really pissed now, bc it also reset my Go launcher... Had 7 screens w/ widgets and shortcuts...
Why did it go wrong again? I thought I put back the recovery to stock to solve the OTA problem... Should I do other things? The phone starts to really slow down and I'm ready to toss this piece of c* in the bin...

I had the same issue just now with my phone (unlocked, rooted, stock revcovery), but a quick reboot allowed the update to complete and I'm now on 4.0.4. Did you check the version number again after this latest attempt?
Yes, still 4.0.2.
And of course, my phone says I'm up to date. Lovely, NAAAAAT!

Hi
My phone is rooted and I have the OTA update of JB 4.1 installed . Today i got an System Update from Google and when i clicked restart and install , my phone rebooted in recovery mode of ClockworkMod, then i saw that the update has failed .
I restarted my phone and when i saw that version it is 4.1 and when i selected check for update is says my phone is up to date ?
Please let me know how can i get the update from google now ?
Thanks
??
Manually flash the OTA in the release section. You have to be on stock everything (with the exception of root and an unlocked bootloader) for the OTA to succeed i.e. you will need to have a stock recovery which by seeing that you booted into CWR, you don't have. You can simply boot into CWR rather than flash it e.g. fastboot boot NAME_OF_RECOVERY.img

Relating to flashing the stock recovery? Well you have to be on ICS to update to JB...and assuming your bootloader is already unlocked, you shouldn't lose any data when flashing the stock recovery, radio or bootloader.
I am already on JB. I got via rom from here (xda). So i will need to go back to ics. Is that it?

I decided to install Cyanogen Mod on my Nexus. I already rooted it and downloaded rom manager + titanium back-up. I watched a tutorial on how to download and install roms using rom manager and everything seemed to go as planned and Cyanogen 9 was installed. The phone automatically rebooted and the boot animation the Cyanogen started. But after a half hour I realized it was stuck. So I tried to go into recovery mode to restore my backup (of the stock) but when I went there, the phone automatically turn off. It's not when I click, it's just after a certain period. It even turned off while restoring. To make things worse, when I turn it on now, it's stuck on the Google logo with the unlocked slot at the bottom. I hope you guys can help me because I'm starting to freak out.

I did not delete evreything when I flashed

rom was downloaded from rom manager
I backed up my stock rom
I did google but everything leads to bootloader which is broken

1.Don't panic
2. Try to go on bootloader then reset factory or fastboot then from pc flash recovery
3. Try to get back recovery then factory reset and flash backup

was it a nexus? maybe/probably not, but if it was, you should have used fastboot. it's officially supported by GOOGLE. if you want to flash a factory image, they tell you to use fastboot. why would we use anything else? a leak? that the community barely really knows anything about?
i'd rather use Heimdall!! (not sure i9250 is supported though.)

Hi friends,
I recently rooted my HOX, i have been using this device since early may-2012. I recently got an OTA update for Android 4.1.1 & a Sense 4+. So i wanted to know if i can accept the update or will it create complication due to the phone being ROOTED!
Rooted is fine, but modified isn't.
You'll need stock recovery.
well i am still on a stock ROM ,have not used a custom ROM on it.

If you have not removed stock apps using titanium or any other means,
And you have cwm or twrp recovery, Flash your corresponding stock recovery and update should work without problem.

Do you have stock recovery or CWM?
Well, I used a factory reset tool to reset my rom back to stock. However, when I try to do a system update, it goes all the way to the end and says Error. Note that I can get into my tablet before I launch the update, but afterwards it just boots into recovery and I have to hard reset and reset my device using the aforementioned factory reset tool. Basically all I want to know is if it has anything to do with me recovering from the tool, or are OTA's iffy? I bought the device yesterday and I love it. I rooted it, unlocked the bootloader, etc. So yes it is modified. However It is not in anyway bricked. I just want to know if it's possible to do an official OTA from System Update, or do I have to use the one provided on the Index of the Nexus 7 Flo forum? Thanks for any help. Like I said, It's not bricked, I'm not complaining. Just a few questions

Well, without much detail about the error, it's hard to help. Are you just stock rooted with stock recovery? If so, you should be able to take an OTA no problem, although you'd lose root. But you can always flash supersu to get it back. Did you install a custom recovery to root? Or did you use a toolkit? Lots of questions. If you have a custom recovery, you'd have to fastboot flash the stock recovery from the factory image. If you still have the stock recovery and are just stock rooted, you've probably modified the system in some way. In that case, you can just fastboot flash the stock system image.

Stock Rooted with Stock Recovery. It downloads the OTA no issue, but when in download mode, it gets to the very end and says Error!. I used CFAutoRoot for rooting. I used fastboot to unlock the bootloader and install custom recovery.

Since you have stock recovery, there's probably an app that modified your system that's not allowing it to install the update because it detects a change in one of your system files. Fastboot flash the system image from the stock factory image. Then, it should update.

I'm assuming you're on 4.3 since you're trying to update? Either way, you can find the factory images here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images.
Just download the the one for the version you're currently running on your N7. MAKE SURE YOU DOWNLOAD THE CORRECT ONE. Then, just extract the files from the tar.gz file. There's another zip file in that tar.gz file. Extract that one, and there's a system.img file. Fastboot flash it in the bootloader.
