JRo03o fixes 4G - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Just so everyone knows I have a Nexus that was part of the "bad batch"
If you're like me and never got around to getting a replacement or just did want a refurb I'm here to tell you that the latest radio does indeed fix the 4G issues. I was surprised because we all came to the conclusion that the radios themselves were faulty.
So make sure you head to [Radios][VZW] ALL the Verizon Galaxy Nexus Radios and flash the latest radio, unless you're still unrooted than I'm sure you'll get the OTA soon.
Anyway, cheers.

This is great news, as I am on my 6th bad nexus and was trying to decide if I should go for a7th or not. Now if only there was a completely effective trick to force the OTA. I tried the stopping and starting off Google frame work to no avail. Anyone know if Verizon can and will force the update to select phones?

Well if you're unrooted waiting for the OTA they said you'll need to connect to WIFI and they wont do real OTA until October. So try connecting to WIFI and going to about phone and check for update there.

For those that have the samsung build, did you get the 4.0.2 update?

Still haven't got mine. I have the samsung build (forgot what the code is yakjuw?)
Anyways, I really hope we get the updates everyone else is getting because I'm not going to flash to stock google build just to get updates.
I have the samsungbuild (yakjuxw) and i haven't got it yet (norway)
Well I sure hope we get it. That was one of my worries when an XDA forum member first found out there were different builds. Hope we still get updates quickly like the google ones.
I haven't gotten it yet on my yakjuux.

We will get it, but those sent from Google will get it everything from 1 day to 1-2 weeks before us i've heard.
They are planing to release 4.0.3 soon too, so we should get 4.0.2 maybe tomorrow if we are luckey.

Both. But the OTA for GSM started happening today and LTE had the 4.0.2 OTA happening yesterday.
The stock image files were released for both (4.0.2) yesterday.
Anyone yet?
Also, does anyone know if Google responded about this? We have a nexus...we should get updates fast and first like everyone else. Ridiculous.
Article posted on Android Central about the app the person developed. The "update" at the bottom of the article sheds some light.

Kernel sources? I thought we needed those. The international version as it stands now runs fine on my phone.
seeing as the international is a gsm phone, wouldn't the kernel sources be sufficiently different from our phone so as not to work? Never messed with kernels before, so sorry if it's a stupid question.

Kernel sources for everything not related to ril would help us, so Wifi, BT, GPS, etc. Since we already have 3g and SMS working, my guess is that the kernel source for the int'l SGS II could round out what we need to get an acceptable working ICS ROM.

Not entirely. The radio sources would be, yes, but the hardware drivers are the same (so stuff to get the camera and whatnot working could be used) as our phone, I think.

All of the drivers work for hardware (minus radio, wifi worked).
Either way, if Samsung is releasing it, chances are Sprint will take this and act on it.

Samsung already stated they will be having updates by the first quarter for some devices like the SGS2 , but in the end it's up to the carriers and Sprint loves to drag it out.

People have been having issues booting back to stock or anything else for that matter. May I ask have you nandroid back to anything since booting it up? Also does your pc recognize your phone?
I wouldn't expect Sprint to have a Release of ICS for the Epic Touch until late Summer or early Fall 2012. By then, the phone will be almost 1 year old and Sprint will start saying the ET4G is "End of Life" and stop supporting it altogether.

Fortunately for us, we don't have to rely on Sprint, as Samsung will release the kernel sources we need to get where we need to go. Also, the 4.0 iteration we would get from Sprint would be TouchWiz'd up, which for me I could care less about. We will have daily-driver quality CM9 and AOSP ICS well before we see an official ICS-based ROM released by Sprint.
And before you ask, yes I have been with Sprint for a long time, and yes I came from the OG Epic 4g.

The people doing it are Odin a tar and its bricking them because they don't know what they are doing....you can use the tar file with mobile Odin pro and retain root which will allow you to use mobile Odin to flash kernel with cwm to get out of the brick but without root can't use mobile Odin...you can take the tar apart and make a ROM out of it...as long as the bootloader and radio is not in there you should be good

[Q] Google IO Galaxy Nexus not getting 4.1.2 yet?

The Galaxy Nexus phones I bought of Google Play all got the 4.1.2 update... but the freebie phone I got when I attended Google IO still hasn't. Are the updates still rolling out or is something wrong here? Keep checking, but it never finds an update.
Android version
4.1.1
Baseband version

if your device is the same as the retail version then just manually flash the the update. You can download the image from Googles site.

The point is not that he wants the update... its that Google has not pushed the update to the IO devices.

Well he may be waiting a very long time as IO devices are generally the very last to be updated.

If I have to flash it, eventually I will. I wanted to keep this as my stock dev device for development and would've expected that the devices given to the developers at Google IO wouldn't be receiving the updates late... assuming that this thing will get an update at sometime in the future. Very surprising since I would've thought the phones handed to devs, if any, should be first in line to receive updates, unless something has gone wrong with my update.

Sorry to hear it. I fully agree but I think Google view is that it is a dev device so you can update with the 4.1.2 firmware currently available. Send Google an email and see what they say.

Well, I called Samsung and they said it was the carrier's responsibility. Uh, what carrier? This is a GSM phone that's not from T-Mobile. Weird, I figure their staff just can't handle the question. I get the number for their "expert" support. He says to talk to Google.
I hunt the contact number for Google devices and get a nice guy who has me turn on airplane mode, then turn on wifi. Then clear data for Google app services. Check the about settings, last update check was in 1969. <sigh>, yes, I've done this, but I'll try again. No update found.
He said that it was strange. The update should've been pushed out to it by now and something was wrong, but couldn't help. The only thing left to do was to ship it to Samsung and have them flash the ROM on it.
Forget that, I gave up and I flashed the 4.1.2 factory image myself. I guess I could've saved myself some time by doing it in the first place, but I'm still curious and would like to know why I got the 4.1.1 OTA but 4.1.2 didn't work. Weird.
FYI, my IO nexus just got the update to 4.1.2 today, almost a full month after it started rolling out.

Not gonna ask for a specific ETA but was just wondering how long a process it is to extract the radios. Again, I am fine with however long it may take and do not need a time that they will be posted. Just wondering if it's something that can be done quick for you guys or if it will take awhile.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
obviously not an official answer, but it seems that they cannot extract the radio from the phone, and so they are reverting to 4.1 and hoping that he gets the OTA again so they can extract it before the ota is flashed?
Sounds like that is the plan. But this raises a good point, especially since we don't know how the test ota process works, and thus don't know for sure that he would receive the ota again. Maybe it would make sense to first get it rooted and then pull the radios via the gnex toolbox (which is probably easier and quicker than doing it manually) and maybe also pull a full system image or create an image. zip of the stock ROM through CWM.
That said, these guys are doing this out of pure goodwill, and they should do whatever works best for them and doesn't interfere with their lives. Just happy they gave us the news

The OTA "should" be linked to a device ID. When the public OTA rolls out, blocks of devices are updated at various intervals (which is why some get the OTA later than others). The server housing the OTA at present should have a block of test device IDs authorized to download. If this holds true, then he should be able to grab the update again if running JRO03O. Key word is "should". :fingers-crossed:

[Q] No love for T999L?

I've been scanning the forums for the GS3 to see if anything were to come up for the LTE version of the GS3. Apologies if i missed it, but I had to ask.
The leaked schedule said it would be available 11/25, only to have the T999 get access to it, then the T999v got it. Where's ours?
Be happy you don't have troubles like the Verizon users have.
The LTE version is bricking phones so has been rolled back.

No Clue. I see that as a poorly tested upgrade pushed out in a hurry.
If the 4.3 update is being pushed back for better testing and bug fixes then I'm all for that. If it's pushed back for particularly good reason, no improvements, and we still get bugs the others are having then I'll be kinda pissed.
