[Q] Update Galaxy Nexus ?

Hello,
Ive got 2 Galaxy nexus one bought from US store and one from a UK store, both are not the LTE versions.
i got OTA update from 4.0.1 to 4.0.2 OTA on the UK one but not yet for the US.
I dont want to brick the phone so Id like some help please, ive never used nexus phones before so i apologize for all the questions.
is it possible to flash it to the US one? and if i do will i still get OTA updates when they roll out or would i have to always do it manually?
the US one is 4.0.1 baseband: XXKK1 Kernel: ga052f63 Build: ITL41F
and i the UK one is 4.0.2 baseband: KK6 kernel: gaaa2611 Build: ICL53F after OTA update.
Do use Gnex Toolkit v4.1 ? and without rooting?
Thanks guys

Sorry about Bumping,,,,,,,still awaiting reply please

you won't brick.
there is no U.S. firmware for the Galaxy Nexus.
there are only three types of OTAs:
yakju: Google supported (GSM)
mysid: Google supported (LTE)
variants of yakju (yakjuxw,yakjuux,etc): GSM
flash it.

Thanks Zephik, the app helped me alot
The product name is yakjuxw and it says its NOT updated by Google.
does this mean they wont ever update? or just currently its not yet pushed through?

it still receives updates but it comes from Samsung. still a stock experience, just comes with extra languages and things like that.
you can convert it to a yakju (search it).
updates often come out for yakju more frequently than the variations of yakju

If I convert it to a yakju, will this affect my warranty? If yes, can I convert it back to my current one?

Based on my modest knowledge, if the nexus doesn't have a flash counter and u flash back to yakuxw u shouldnt lose warranted. Better ask the professionals here in xda though.

You won't lose your warranty if you flash a official firmware, I did that when I changed to yakju.

[Q] No OTA for 4.0.2 or 4.0.3?

ok guys so I have a galaxy nexus and I'm still stuck on 4.0.1, I have a rogers SIM card in it. I have CWM recovery, unlocked bootloader and rooted.
Now of course I could manually update, but why am I not getting OTA updates?
Baseband version: I9250UGKL1
Kernel Version: 3.0.1-ga052f63 [email protected] #1
Build Number: ITL41F.I9250UGKL1
Anything look wrong here? What do I need to change/update?
Thanks in advance.

If you have Cwm the ota won't install anyway.
Secondly you are probably on a yakjuxx build, and which gets its updates from Samsung and not Google. Search on market for an app called galaxy nexus update (or something close to that), which will tell you which build you have.
If you want to change to yakju (which Google updates directly), there are a thread in general which shows you what to do.

Why won't the OTA install if i have CWM?
Why do they have different versions of the same ROM? some that Samsung update and some that google update? is there any other difference to the ROM's?
Any other advantage to being on the yakju ROM?
Will installing any of these ROM's clear my data? from what I remember I don't think it does..

[REF] [HOW-TO] Official Google OTA update URLs
Read THIS.

You have to wait for samsung to push it. Yakju is the build that comes directly from Google, so you'll get the ota updates a lot sooner than everyone else, however it is only on 4.0.2.
If you want 4.0.3, install a custom rom such as AOKP.

I was doing some reading seems like 4.0.2 is a bit laggy.
I was really more interested in how to switch from yakjuux to yakju, but if google is going to release buggy OTA's it might be a bit better to let it filter through samsung after all.
but just for the record how do i switch from yakjuux to yakju? just flash the yakju build update over top of the yakjuux?

I was in the same boat as you, waiting for an update to 4.0.2 but it just never came, so I got antsy and then flashed a rom. I am pretty disappointed though because I got the nexus especially for google's updates but again I got screwed by Samsung waiting for their updates.

That's the exact reason why I bought a Gnex, so I can get updates from Google, not from Samsung or Rogers witch is my carrier. But now because I don't have the right rom on mine I'll have to wait, only God knows when they will push it! So freaking stupid!

I was in the same boat, so i changed my ROM to YAKJU (No root or unlock required, flashed offical YAKJU from Support in Germany).
There is a thread somewhere in general with instructions on "How to".

Rogers gsm nexus is yakju?

I was under the impression that gsm nexus phones on Rogers were not updated by Google. I tried that official update app and it says my phone is updated by Google? I never flashed yakju, unless wugs toolkit does it automatically?

What does it say in your System settings "about phone"? I believe it should be stated there (but I'm in the middle of flashing ROMs so can't look now). If that doesn't make sense: try Android System Info from Market. I read you can use that too in order to determine if you have Yakju or Yakjuxx

You actually can tell if you are on yakju from the settings -> about phone menu. If the build number is ITL41D, ITL41F, ICL53F, or IMM76D, you are on yakju. If it says anything different, it is non-yakju. (Won't be able to tell which non-yakju build you are on though.)

I had this same problem finding out what I was updated from Google or Samsung. I am also with rogers. Canadian GNeX are not Yakju they are updated from Samsung. The WugFresh ToolKit does change it to Yakju but only if you come back to stock using it because the stock version that WugFresh's TK uses is a Yajku Version
Sorry if that was hard to understand

Im with rogers and my Gnex build is ICL53F so from what i read thats yakju so we would get the update from Google..so not all rogers gnex are non yakju!

Not a reliable indicator. My yakjuux device shipped with 4.0.2 ICL53F.
Open /system/build.prop as a text file (you can even do this without root from a file manager such as Astro), and scroll down to the "ro.product.name" line. That's where you'll see yakju, yakjuux etc.
Or in Terminal emulator, or over ADB shell, type:
getprop ro.product.name

All Canadian GNs are yakjuux (unless you bought a used one that someone already modified). If you are yakju, the build number in Settings>About phone will say either ITL41D or ITL41F or ICL53F or IMM76D. That's it: only 6 characters. It you are yakjuux, it will say something like ICL53F.I9250UXLA2 in the build number: about 17 characters.
This is just as reliable as any other method of finding out what build you are on.
On non-yakju builds, the last 3 letters on the build number are the radio that shipped with the build, and the two before that will indicate the 2 letters that come after yakju. Eg., for yakjuux, that would be UG, for yakjuxw, it would be XW.

My nexus came from Rogers, it was yakajuux. It's now a yakaju.

am I missing something :S? imm76k on gsm yakju

Hi,
I can't find out witch version my galaxy nexus is ,
It has to be an GSM international yakju but the
But the build number(imm76k) is for the Verizon cdma,
Judging by the Baseband number(I9250xxla2) it should have the imm76i, but it doesn't .
I had a Samsung galaxy s vibrant before this one so I'm
More or less familiar with android flashing and rooting. But I have no clue on what to do next .I wanted to root it, instal cwm and flash a 4.1 official rom
I searched around the net and the forums but found almost nothing.

IMM76K is the 4.0.4 for the non-yakju variants so you must be running one of those.
If you want the official 4.1.1 you can either flash the takju/yakju factory image for 4.0.4 and wait for the OTA or update to 4.1.1 manually.
OR you can wait until the factory image for 4.1.1 is available and flash that.

Yes, it looks like some devices are shipping with yakju IMM76K. Not sure why, but it seems that they are not getting the update right away. If you just bought your device, best is to just flash yakju JRO03C from Google's site.

Official Jelly Bean update for my i9250 (Canada/Unlocked/GSM)

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!
Lambrecht van Dijk

There is a way. It might work but try this. Go to all apps in manage apps section. Search for google services framework. Press it to go to details and then hit clear data.
Hit the thanks button if it helped or worked.
Galaxy Nexus-codenameandroid rom

All Canadian GNex are sold with yakjuux builds. So far, no one has reported getting JB OTA on a yakjuux build. If you want, you can switch your build to yakju or takju (both of which are updated well before any of the other builds). Or you can wait -- JB should be out shortly, as someone received his device back from warranty service with a yakjuux JB build on it (which you could also flash if you want).
EDIT: Posting the same thing in two separate threads is not going to get it answered any sooner, as is likely going to upset people.

Hi, my appologies, I tried to somehow move to the other forum, but couldn't delete the message, so I ended up posting it twice.
Could you please clarify as to the yakjuux build?
And by switchig builds, how would you do that?
So JB should be out for UGKK7 build?
And no, sorry the clear data did not work.
Thank you again!

Yakju and yakjuux are regional variants of the Galaxy Nexus. The phone is the same but it's preloaded with a slightly different version of android and more important, only the yakju and takju are updated directly from google servers. Al other variants are upgraded by samsung. That's why you don't have JB yet.
Like Efrant said, you can easily flash a yakju or takju (if you want Google Wallet preinstalled) builds in your phone to get JB and recieve future updates first hand.
All the data on your phone will be deleted, make a backup. Read Efrant's guide. It's very helpful!
If you want the thrill of an OTA update, flash a yakju build of ICS 4.0.4 and you'll get the OTA message. Or you can flash the stock factory image of jelly bean right away.
Cheers!

Thanks! I will be sure to read over the guides!
What about for my build UGKK7, will Samsung ever release an update?

Please do not spam the boards with the same question. Locking this one but will leave the one in Q&A open. Thank you.
