Hi,
Got a Nexus from the grey market recently, and today I just learned about the different builds. I did get the OTA Jelly Bean update the moment I was on Wifi when I took it out of the box. Does this mean I have the Yakju version? Is JB out for non-yakju units already?
Did you read the stickies in this forum?
Sorry. Didnt notice it. Just read it now.
I still would like to know if JB is already available for non-Yakju units though.
Highlight with your mouse: non-yakju <-- yes this part. A search tool will pop so you get all the info you need. I worked hard to build the Search in XDA, can you please use it?

Look at the "Build in Settings->About phone. If you see only 6 characters there, you are running either a yakju or takju build. If you see more than 6 characters, then you are on a non-yakju/non-takju build.
As far as I've seen, the Jelly Bean update has only been pushed to yakju and takju builds.

I bought a galaxy nexus from newegg and checked the version to be Yakjuzs. It loads an Asian language by default when the phone is switched on for the first time
I still have the 4.0.1
Basebad Version - I9250XXKK1
Build Number - ITL41F.I9250ZSKKB
Has anybody with similar specifications received the 4.0.2 update?
I do the *#*#2432546#*#* several times a day but no luck!
I'm currently using the phone only on WiFi and without a SIM card.
same build, no update
I'm considering switching to yakju build
Still haven't rooted a Nexus phone?
You're doing it wrong.

Even yakju is still only on 4.0.2 where as other phones and tablets are on much newer builds namely Nexus S and Galaxy Tab..
I think google forgot about their flagship phone already lol.

I doubt it. The 4.0.3 update isn't large enough for a large scale deployment, but really...buying a Nexus phone and not rooting it is like buying a Ferrari but only going 20MPH..
odd, my yakjuzs nexus came with 4.0.2 and baseband version - I9250XXKK6 out of the box, meaning there is actually an upgrade out there i guess.
IMO 4.0.2 is not worth it, neither is waiting for the official 4.0.3 roll out - you're better off sparing yourself the wait unlocking/rooting then flashing a custom 4.0.3 rom. the difference is so huge that it's embarrassing, frankly speaking

Agreed. 4.0.3 is soo much better and smoother than 4.0.2 theres no point in waiting for an OTA upgrade
Whats bugging me is that the Nexus S ALREADY has an official stock 4.0.3 rom and the motorola xoom has an OFFICIAL IML77 Rom out right now.
Google should be putting out the latest builds to the nexus before anyone else gets it.

custom roms based on the official OTA will be miles better anyway, so why bother?

The Nexus S OTA has been stopped, and the Xoom ICS OTA is a beta build you have to sign up for.
Google will push the 4.0.3 OTA when its ready. If you're ancy you can just root. But I understand if you dont want to.

Excuse me, but does anybody know what was the reason for stoping OTA for SNS? I flashed it manually same second I saw info on the interwebs and it runs pretty good. No big complains.
My gNexus is ("was", 'used to be') a yakjuzs ...
After reading about the lack of OTA I downloaded the update from the official google website and installed it 20 minutes or so ...
Works nice but I couldn´t find any improvements ... people say that franco's 4.0.3 (#12) changes the device from water to wine ...
If you decide to update to 4.0.2 yakzu, just one advice: mine got stuck in a loading loop forever ... until I did a factory reset (from the fastboot mode).

I dont want to get the official 4.0.3 I just want the boot images so I can make them insecure and add the root process to my ToolKit

I would assume that the answer would be yes considering all the developers that are on this version, but I'm not 100% sure anymore. I decided to search through some threads & some of the posts are quite contradictory. I flashed to takju in order to upgrade to the preview version of Jelly Bean. If it's not getting the OTA, I plan to flash back to yakju.
Yes. But if you want a more instant JellyBean on your phone, check out this ROM on your part of the forum.

Canada use lte GN?
Hi guys. I'm from Brazil and the Galaxy Nexus is named Galaxy X around here, but it's the usual GSM thing that is out for AT&T. Anyway, I'm running stock ICS (4.0.2) and I checked Internet and discovered that several people are already running Jelly Bean due an OTA update by Google. But when I check if there are any updates on the phone, it just tells that it is updated. My question is: is it alright or I am missing an update? Should I root and use CM10? Will it take too long to get stable? Thank you, greetings from Brazil!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.cbruegg.officialupdate try this and tell us what is says
A little info. You could flash a Google stock image or choose one of the numerous custom ROMs available, only you can deside which is right for you.

Only yakju and takju builds of GSM Galaxy Nexuses are updated by Google, Galaxy X has a yakjuvs build and is updated by Samsung. Samsung promissed end of August as a deadline for JB on yakjuvs (no 4.0.4 for yakjuvs).
If you don't want to wait, there are a ton of tutorials explaining how to flash a factory image, just get the jelly beans factory image and do it, but, be aware that you will loose all data in your phone (and by all, I mean ALL data, including "sdcard" data). If you don't want to lose all your data, cross your fingers and hope that Samsung deliver what they've promissed...
If you still need to ROOT and are worried about losing your data you can use the Wug's Galaxy Nexus Root Toolkit.
Hello all. I appologize for the silly question, or if it has been asked before, but here it is.
I just picked up a Galaxy Nexus online, brand new and unlocked. I got it, popped in my Virgin SIM, have it all ready to go and synced with my Google account, but I am stuck on ICS.
Here as some specs:
Android Version: 4.0.1
Baseband Version: I9250UGKK7
Kernel: 3.0.1-ge2433f2 [email protected] #1
Build Number: ITL41D.I9250UGKK7
If I go to System updates for the OTA update, it tells me that the sustem is up to date.
Is there any way to get the official update for my Nexus?
Also, the device is not rooted, and does not have an unlocked bootloader.
Please let me know, as I am very interested!
Thank you!

The GSM version of the Gnex is sold with different software variants in the although all look almost the same.
Only the Takju and Yakju variants are updated to Jelly Bean and that update is offered directly by google. All other variants (yakjuxw, yakjuxx and others) are updated by samsung.
You can, however, flash a yakju or takju factory image from google and then get all the updates fast but that means you'll need to unlock your bootloader, and flash that image. That will result in a complete wipe of your data, including the internal memory (where you keep your music, photos and so on). Make a backup and read the threads here in the forum.
Cheers!

Just to add to his statement, Canadian variant is yakjuux, which is soon to be updated to jelly bean. However, if you don't like slow update, just flash yakju or takju, didn't hurt to convert to them

UGKK7 is a radio, it is not a build. The build you are running is yakjuux ITL41F.

That is a radio, not a build. And yes, yakjuux will get a update pretty soon... There's already been a leaked version on xda right now (thank you efrant!).
If you are willing to wipe your phone once to unlock your bootloader, I day flash to yakju or takju, since these variants gets the updates much faster than yakjuux variant.

Ah, I see. Thanks a lot!
I guess I will wait and for Samsung releases the JB update for yakjuux ITL41F.
Since you mentioned that someone recieved a JB yakjuux build, then maybe Samsung will release it in a couple of weeks?
Can't wait for it to happen soon!

Even though Google devices are kings in the Android world, WHY THE H£LL DOES GOOGLE F-UPS ALL OF THEIR NEXII!?!?!?!?
Is it hard to say, "WE ARE GONNA BE IN CHARGE OF UPDATES!!! SO SHUT UP VERIZON, SPRINT, CANADIAN CARRIERS, AND EVERYONE ELSE FOR THEIR OWN BUILDS & CARRIER CONTROL!!!!"
The only success seems to be the Nexus 7 since they can't run on a carrier, leaving it with only one version of the OFFICIAL software.

I agree with you on Google and Samsung messing up on the variants... Really stupid of them if you ask me, but I personally can care less cuz we could always convert it.

Hi. I recently bought a galaxy nexus. It was at Ice Cream Sandwich. It immediately updated to Jelly Bean 4.1. I expected it to update itself to 4.2 very soon. But its already been a few days and I still haven't received the update. I refreshed the System Updates many, many times, but it still says that the phone is up to date.
What do I do? Why is this happening?
Means your phone doesn't get updates from Google. Follow one of the Yakju/Takju conversion guides.

It's glad to hear we get new Gnex users
Don't worry, Gnex has official 4.2 but you have yakju so you have to manually install takju 4.2
