My GNexus wont receive update? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hi!
I got a galaxy nexus from my boyfriend like 2 months ago and I really didnt used it, i was happy with my iphone, this week I started using it and I liked it more and made it my main phone.
I was reading some forum and it said that the actual version for the GN is JB4.1.1 or at least what most ppl have.. I tryed to check for system updates and it says my phone is up to date. I've tryed a trick that i readed in this forum that if i close some app and use some number to force update it will update, didnt work
About phone shows this:
Model Number: Galaxy Nexus
Android Version: 4.0.4
Baseband Version: I9250XXLA2
Kernel Version: 3.0.8-gda6252b [email protected] #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Apr 13 11:35:09 PDT 2012
Build Number: IMM76K.I9250XWLD2
Aparently as i read my phone is from europe, =/ why I have an europe phone if im not there is a mistery
Anyways, I tryed to use search but wow this forum have so much info and is really confused to a person who is really new and not very familiar with android, if someone can tell me at least how to start, will be helpfull
thanks

Well, I think it tells you which version you got in bootloader, but since you got it from Europe, I'm pretty sure it's not yakju or takju
The chances of damaging your phone is really low. It's barely there if you follow his instructions properly. I did this 2 times with no problem (One for myself and one for my friend)
One thing you need to know is that if you don't have the bootloader unlocked, you need to unlock it, which wipes the WHOLE data on your phone and voids your warranty (You can get your warranty back simply by re-locking it.)

Assuming you don't have 4.1 I'm guessing your Vzw. The only way to get it is root, it's really simple and I recommend Jabukabu's method which uses ADB to root.

no. you're incorrect.
the OP has yakjuxw, which does not have the JB update yet. you need to remember there are several variants of the yakju firmware that do not get updated by google, but by samsung.

I know there are variants but I have no idea what these yakju things are? Why are there so many terms? Just say vzw, Sprint, and not sure about the other carriers name. This is why don't like variants, I like exclusive phones.
God these companies need to get in sync and release everything at once.

It won't come to the SGH-T989 unless there is a maintainer that steps forward to help manage it. I'm considering picking this phone up or the 4G Amaze. I haven't decided. If I pick this one up, I'll work on deving and porting CM9 for it and work on being a maintainer. But alas, this comes down to my contract on my Vibrant lol

and yet we don't even have an alpha? while other lesser phones have it already
I';m guessing we might get a ICS by summer because a lot of people have skyrockets.
Cyanogenmod said its "in the oven" for skyrocket and 989 but well behind the other devices they are working on. Mainly due to their build computers getting upgraded. They said a couple weeks and they will be back full speed. Full speed on our devices? Maybe not yet but its coming eventually.

You guys are sure in a hurry for s broken os no ics works perfectly except for the galaxy nexus and nexus s. Which still have major bugs why google put updates on hold. All other devices still have major or bugs. All you guys do here is cry that older devices have it before our device. The longer time you have to develop and work with something. The farther the development team has already have gone.
CM team doesn't not want to be responsible for you not being able to call 911 incase of emergency. Guess what the alpha cm7. People can't hear each other. Unless you have gps on. Which doesn't work all the time. That's a really big major issue. Don't you think?
I mean you can learn how to develop and make your own cm7. But oh wait good luck with that because Qualcomm have their hardware data sheets closed off to the general public. That means even cm team doesn't have access to them. They are waiting for samsung because these are proprietary driver which means even samsung has to wait on Qualcomm.
If you go get a new device you will. Have to wait till source code is released regardless. For the new processors. What's that you will be waiting again for cm yep. While older devices will be running CM9? Yes that's right! Unless source is released.

It was from creeping Google+ if you want to work your way over to the skyrocket side of the forum there's a thread by me talking about it.
Ya know, what bugs me is that the HP Touchpad has CM9. And it wasn't even an Android device to begin with. I mean, come on.
Happily sticking with Darkside 2.5.1 until the official Samsung ICS release.

I don't think that is correct information. The Galaxy S has issues because it was brought over with very little testing, fixes have been pushed to it.
The GNexus is no longer considered a Google device because of the issues with Verizon. It will no longer get updates from Google, only the carrier. Any bugs that have yet to be fixed already will get a update some day. Thats why all the GNexus people are frustrated with Verizon.
GNexus has already been sent to the FCC for approval for Sprint and that one will be the official Google phone.

I believe you are partially correct. Correct me if I'm wrong, but as it is right now there are two versions of the Nexus: CDMA(Verizon) and GSM. So yes, the Verizon version is no longer supported, but the GSM one still is. That would mean the Sprint version and the GSM version are Google phones.

Google drops full cdma support so sprint and verizion are no longer supported. They will still be updated but anyone with a cdma nexus. No longer has google support the device tree was removed. You can look this up. Galaxy S is closely related to the nexus s. Hardware wise with data sheets released on humming bird processor.

Sprint Google Wallet and Root?

Has anyone who rooted and flashed a ROM gotten the extra $40 in Google Wallet from Sprint yet? I was just wondering before I flash a ROM if I will still be able to get it. Also has anyone had the problem with the secure element committing suicide?

You would think Google would include a utility that would reinitialize the secure element when needed. Nothing to access the contents but just erase everything and format it like new. But, it would probably leave an open door for access somehow.
So no one who rooted get the money yet? That was one of the main reasons I bought this phone was so that I could get the extra $50. I don't want to lose it just because I flashed a ROM.

I guess they wouldn't consider it "secure" then lol.
The secure element contains a bunch of unique keys tied to your MEID that are used to facilitate secure communication with the servers. If you wiped its contents, you'd lose those keys and you thus access to google wallet.
The secure element has countermeasures that are designed to prevent somebody from stealing those keys and therefore being able to steal your money. If the secure element detects tampering, it destroys itself to protect that information.

I was wondering..

I have heard that using GLaDOS Control its possible to unlock and lock the bootloader on a Galaxy Nexus. So.. Here's my situation lol I don't have a computer at the moment. I'm going to be ordering a G-Nex shortly and I need root and unlocked bootloader.. I remember some devices (like my old G2 and GS1) you could temp root from the device via an app or terminal emulator commands and downloaded packages and then perm root through more commands in terminal emulator.
Is it possible for such a thing to be possible with the G-Nex? Gain temp root through terminal emulator commands and downloaded files and then use GLaDOS Control to unlock the bootloader, then download ROM manager and flash CWM, then download the SU and busy box binaries and flash them through CWM, and then enjoy my Nexus?
Or am I just shooting blindly in the dark? I really want CM9 and MIUI and maybe to try AOKP as I've heard so much about it.. But without a computer that seems impossible! :-(

Not sure what GlaDOS Control does, but it certainly cannot unlock or relock the bootloader. Only a connection to a computer can do that.
But yes, you can do everything you want, but I don't understand why?
1) You can root without unlocking the bootloader, see here.
2) But there is no need, as a GNEx comes with an unlockable/relockable bootloader.

Lol my friend, I am looking to do all this without a computer. And according to the developer of the GLaDOS kernel and the app GLaDOS Control, the app has the ability to unlock and re-lock at will.. I've been doing a lot of reading (he posts his Nexus stuff only on the other main android rooting site) and his users have stated the unlocking and re-locking works as intended.. But the app requires root to function.
I don't have a computer at the moment.. But I would very much love to have a way to root without a computer. Do you understand?

Well that is sad to hear.. But where there's a will, there's a way right? Hopefully with brainstorming I'll figure something out.
By the way, if you're really sure that it's impossible to unlock and relock the bootloader without a computer, you might wanna go yell at this guy who says he's made it possible..

Much obliged sir! This is exactly what I was talking about.. Now if there were some way to use terminal emulator to gain temp root via an exploit and then use GLaDOS Control to unlock the bootloader you could theoretically have done it all without a computer. And that would be not only amazing but useful to many people in my situation where access to a computer is incredibly limited and sometimes impossible.

I gotcha. And thank you to Efrant (spelling?) for your help as well. I guess I'm just going to have to hijack a library computer or something and pray it allows installs.. Not likely but I can pray lol
I miss that about the G2 and other older devices. On device temp root was a blessing

Hmmm. Interesting. They may have found a way. A bunch of us started looking into it in this thread, but it kinda lost wind. Looks like it is related to flashing the param partition as we had thought.
I'm looking forward to looking into this!

Need to Reflash Galaxy Nexus

Help Please! I need to reflash my galaxy nexus to jelly bean. It freezes (doesn't reboot) whenever i try to download the system update. I am a total newbe and not technically proficient. If someone could provide step-by-step instructions on how for reflashing the phone with jelly bean that would be very helpful. Thanks in advance!

did you try to flash something and thats when the problem happened? Also do you have sprint, verizon or a gsm nexus? This will at least give a good starting point for help.

I am in Canada. My provider is Telus. The problem occurred when my phone received the "install system update" notification (to install the new jellybean software operating system). I went through the prompts and clicked "install and reboot". When the phone powered down and tried to reboot, the phone froze at the "Google" on black screen stage. I then had to take battery out and power up phone. Software did not update - it is still at the 4.0 software and did not get to 4.1 (jellybean). I have spoken to technical support at both Telus and Samsung and they say this is a software problem in the phone and I need to bring it in for manufacturer to repair - but then I would get a loaner phone and be w/o a proper phone for weeks. I want to avoid that if possible if I can somehow fix this on my own - with your help of course.

Because generally speaking, four out of five people are retarded.
Back OT, Telus is a gsm service provider, this guy "could" do stock or just root it, flash clockwork recovery and then flash aokp. Efrants suggestion about stock roms is excellent too. It really comes down to which route this user prefers to take.

well at least you guys jumped right in and helped. and it didnt get answered until my question was answered, you know the one that was "very clear" in either of the two original posts. I guess boredom makes people rude.
I'm a noob, and I've always used the Nexus root toolkit. It really helped me several time, it's easy to use and very well done

Good thing Telus is actually a GSM provider or that might have been bad advice.. SIM presence does not imply GSM - new CDMA devices are rolling with LTE which requires a SIM for network authentication. Toro and toroplus are both in this boat.

I stand corrected on toroplus. But your assumption of a SIM card defining a GSM phone was incorrect, and set the stage for problems if Telus was not a GSM provider.

We are in the galaxy nexus forum. A galaxy nexus gsm uses a Sim card. He didn't ask about another phone.

What Winesnob was saying is that BOTH the GSM Galaxy Nexus and the Verizon Galaxy Nexus have SIM cards, so asking if it has a SIM card does not differentiate between the two. (Actually, if I'm not mistaken, I think the Sprint Galaxy Nexus also has a SIM card, but it is enclosed, i.e., no slot.)

Verizon HTC One First With Android 4.3 Update

http://www.sidhtech.com/news/verizon-htc-one-android-43-update-att-sprint-tmobile/10017607/
One of the best devices on the market which runs Android is the HTC One. One of the biggest competitors is the Samsung Galaxy S4 and this recently got an update OTA to take away the lags.
So how good is the HTC One? People want to know if the handset will get Key Lime Pie, which is said to be coming out this year. Android 4.3 has come out and there has been a great deal of interest in it. The HTC One is to be the only Android device from HTC to be getting the update.
We have heard a tip from the source at HTC before and he has been correct.
The source told us that the Jelly Bean 4.3 update is now with the carriers in the US, just weeks before the HTC One got Android 4.3. So it looks like the US carriers could have had the update for quite some time.
So it must mean that the HTC One T-Mobile version could be getting the update to Jelly bean 4.3 around August or September. However we would not be surprised if the update arrived at AT&T and Sprint in the summer too.
If Verizon have Jelly Bean 4.3 then they could be the first to launch it alongside the handset, as at the moment they do not offer it.

This reinforces the notion that carriers strategically release or withold updates to try to get more sales at the expense of the consumer. It would be nice if Sprint drops 4.3 within a month, but its likely unlikely.

How did that junk article reinforce that notion?.... It just said the update is supposedly with carriers...that's it.
The only time something is held ever is when a new device is about to launch, and even still that is an extreme rarity. What people don't typically realize is when carriers get the update it takes typically 3weeks to test and approve said update. 4-6weeks if its an OS upgrade too and not just a patch. They have to test and send back to HTC then test again...process takes time.

It's just that Sprint is still sitting on the 4.2 update and now 4.3 and Key Lime Pie is around the corner shortly thereafter. Looking at the big picture, it is plausible that the release cycle is delayed to boost sales. There should be a new flagship phone sometime next year in the first half, possibly launching with Key Lime Pie. Then these 4.2 and 4.3 delays add up only to satisfy users wanting updates to get close to launch date.

Is it me, or is it always the US carriers "testing" these updates for months and months? We are a nation of lies and greed so it doesn't surprise me honestly
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
The dev edition has been confirmed to be skipping 4.2.2 because it is a "minor update."
I think what Google did is it gave out the 4.3 source to OEMs like Samsung and HTC before it announced it. So, HTC (and therefore, the carriers) has had 4.3 ready for a while. We may be seeing the 4.3 update soon.

The proof is in the... Tweet.
And I am actually excited that we're skipping 4.2.2 because a few people were reporting certain issues, and if HTC thinks that 4.2.2 was a minor update, then I can't wait to see what 4.3 will bring.
The way I read that article is that Verizon may be the first to offer the one with 4.3 out of the box, not the first to offer 4.3.

While I hope any update news is true, its all hearsay at this point.
There are so many grammatical errors in there I wouldn't trust it. Also stop saying carriers have the updates. No one has ever come out and said the carriers have 4.2.2 and yet everyone assumes they held onto it in the comments. With the way the Verizon HTC One is realsing with 4.2.2 it is almost painfully obvious HTC and Verizon had some sort of deal.

I don't think you understand what the word "business" means in the real world. Companies could care less whether the consumers receive the update in a timely fashion. If it were both cost-effective and a good move business-wise, updates would be cranked out as fast as possible. But it's not. So they don't.
Jason Mackenzie is answering A LOT of questions on twitter today... Allegedly he wants 4.3 on the dev edition by the end of September if not earlier.
This is great if true. I don't mind waiting for 4.3 because there are a lot of apps that are incompatible with it right now, like HBO GO. I have 4.3 on my Nexus7 and sometimes I wish it was on 4.2.2 so that all my apps are working like they are on my One.
