I just bought a galaxy nexus from a guy on craigslist. He had prior to me getting it rooted the phone and installed cm9-20120409-unofficial-toro.
I am trying to upgrade to jellybean and I need my build number however it is showing on the about phone screen as IMM76D, however that is a GSM model number and this a verizon phone. Therefore I think it is just because the rom was created on that build phone. He did not create a stock rom backup before installing the rom therefore I had no way to revert back to stock atm.
Is that a correct assumption?
Is there another way to find out my build?
If not do you have any advice on what my next step in upgrading to jellybean would be?
It doesn't matter what build it currently is. If you want a JB ROM, grab one in the Dev section and flash it.

Hii everyone,
I had a couple of questions with regards to OTA google updates for android. For one thing, is I updated my Galaxy nexus GSM phone manually using MULTIPLE sources with hopes of the OTA update and I keep refreshing the update and it says no updates available. So now I decided to do it manually again, and I keep reading about having to put everything back to normal in-order for the update to work.
Can someone please enlighten me on how I can turn back the clock and put the stock radio and bootloader, so I can manually update to 4.0.4. Also how I can save my current phone setting, as far as widgets, contacts and ringtones are concerned, so I can have them back when I update.
Or should I just not bother with anything and that the OTA will eventually arrive?
The ota leak 4.0.4 is for the LTE version (Verizon only) not for the GSM

Omg please read before you brick your phone. The leaked 4.0.4 OTA is for the CDMA version and cannot be applied to the GSM model!

THANKS GUYS!!!
But look in the Dev section, there is a ROM from MoDaCo... it is a built from the 4.0.4 leak... but for GSM nexus works great...

Though it doesn't include all of 4.0.4, just the parts that are applicable to both machines. If you're on GSM I think its one of the only ways to go right now.

I still cant get the OTA update...
Ok, can someone explain to me what needs to be done for me to get the OTA update? So all i have to do is, go to setting, system update and download 4.04. I have GSM galaxy nexus, running 4.02, kernel 3.0.8 and built number ICL53F.
Thank you.

u have just to wait..the ota can require some days/couple of weeks to reach every device in the world..be patient
u can also install it manually, but is not so easy for u i though..there are some guides around in this forum
I'm a noob to galaxy nexus since I just got the phone.
I have unlocked, rooted stock 4.0.2 on the phone.
I also installed cwm recovery and the question is can I install any rom that has 4.0.4 from cwm or do I need to do something else before installing the rom?
You're fine, flash away.
You have all you need.
Just make sure to wipe / factory reset from CWM before flashing the ROM
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I thank you for the answers. One more question if don't mind.
if I upgrade to stock 4.0.4, how can I downgrade back to 4.0.2?
Also always do a back up in case you mess something up

You can just flash any stock rom just like any other rom. Not sure why you'd go backwards though, 4.0.4 is much better with fixed bugs and smoother etc.

Reading through the forums before asking would be a good start. There are so many helpful topics on the device and how to unlock/root/upgrade the OS. If a n00b like me could figure out how to get from 4.0.1 yakjuux to 4.1.1 from reading on XDA then anyone can. Good luck.

well what i am confused about that there is soooo many roms and radios to choose from and its a little overwhelming because i had not had this many choices since i had a Samsung Epic, and since then i came from phones that pretty much had 1 or 2 roms the stratosphere and droid 4. and i kinda forgot about all the flashing and stuff. does this phone use odin to do it's flashing? i tried google and it says the verizon copy of this phone has a locked bootloader but there is a way to unlock it.
i just want a rom that has a clean,Fast,Jellybean,with root and no bloatware and good radio. something that i can edit the boot animations easy.
i was looking at the Vicious Toro rom and that looks like the best for me, i was also looking at that Gnex toolkit v7.4 is that what i use to unlock the bootloader and flash roms?

Use bigxies it's just aosp jb but rooted and deodexed. Also leave the toolkits to the noobs, better to do it manually - fastboot oem unlock, etc.

Can't flash takju or yakju (which are for the GSM Nexus) on a CDMA Nexus. And there is no official JB update for the CDMA Nexus yet, so he'll need a custom ROM if he doesn't want to wait.

yea i was a little confused on that part because i was thinking this was the toro and those were the GSM devices. i just wanna know what is the easy way to go from Stock 4.04 to the Vicious JB rom with root and unlocked bootloader.
i guess what is getting to me is that there is just so much stuff other there and so many ways to root and flash stuff and i was soo hooked with Odin and then i had to go to the motorola Side of things and did not enjoy that at all. but it has been way more then a year since i last flashed roms and stuff like that
also i noticed there is tons of kernels to use as well with the vicious rom.the faux one looks the best as it has a OC with it

it seems XDA should of gave CDMA and GSM devices there own General forum lol i could of been flashing GSM stuff for all i know
but i think i got everything down for when my phone comes tomorrow. been studying the toolkit and reading about how to flash roms through CWM app and kernels
should i just leave the radio alone or is there a better copy?
You'll find this phone easy to root and flash Roms on. Not easy to brick. Try all the roms . That's the great thing about the nexus, so much to choose from.

Most likely you need to update the bootloader. There should be a custom recovery flashable package that let's you update it, or an ODIN-flashable package. Don't have links right now, sadly, but I'll post them once I find them.

Dlk4 is that updated one
If you're trying to flssh a rom from our forum, you'll need to edit the updater-script. If you pick a rom from atts forum I bet it'll flash fine.

Hi,
I have a AT&T galaxy s3. It always takes forever to get a software upgrade.
I am wondering if I can upgrade the android system to the latest version whenever it comes out if I flash the s3 rom to the original stock rom (from the official android website, not third party rom).
If yes, how I can do that? Can anyone give me a link of the tutorial about how to flash back to the official android stock rom?
Appreciate!

I still can't figure this out. I tried flashing modems, bootloaders, and no matter what I end up with the Status 7 error when trying to flash a recent CM nightly or RC.
Are those stock ROMs in the link up to date?
