Which Phone do I have? IMM76K: no 4.1.1 updates working)

Hi all,
I just received a new GNex from Vodafone Australia. Can someone please help me figure out which version I have so I can update it?
I am running 4.0.4 (rooted)
The Baseband is:
I9250TDVLE1
The build is:
IMM76K.I9250TDVLE1
I could not find an update on google anywhere...
I found reference to my build pertaining to Toro, Magro and Verizon.
I can't see how all of these could be simultaneously true...
I thought '**** it' I ll roll back to a yakju 'official' 4.0.4 IMM76I ROM from here and then flash the Update to 4.1.1 JRO03C
But When I booted into CWM and tried to flash the imm76i, it would not let me. Is there something I am doing wrong or do not understand about swapping roms...?
(I cleared the cache / factory reset)
Am I stuck with IMM76I until google makes an 4.1.1 update, or can I flash another google rom somehow and get the update that way?
Cheers

That's because the package you downloaded on Google's Developers website needs to be flashed using fastboot, not CWM. Follow this thread to flash back to yakju, and you should be good to go.

Did this work for you? as i have the same phone and im tempted to do this but not if its going to mess the phone up. Damn you vodafone for having to be different

It would definitely work however if you even need to return your phone back to Vodafone, you may or may not run into some issues due to not being on their ROM. It's pretty hard to find random stock ROMs for places other than the main ones these days (or I just might be looking at the wrong places).

I'm sorry, I can't remember what I did, but I fixed it that night, which now feels like months ago.
I installed Nexus Root Toolkit v1.5.2, on a pc and I know that that helped me speed up the process.
You can't ruin anything unless you flash a rom not designed for the phone, or format the bios partition and then reboot (with out installing a new bios), but even then I'm sure you can install stuff from a pc over usb using that program.

Thanks New to Android as I have been an avid iOS user and jailbreaker for a few years so just catching up on rooting and flashing ROMs n stuff. But good to know it can be done as i Have the exactly same phone from Vodafone Australia. Better to be safe than sorry and ruining a 2 day old phone.

No worries mate, this is my 2nd android phone (first was a nexus s).
I learned a lot by rooting and playing with custom roms on that ph, but I have been really happy with stock jelly Bean on this (albeit rooted) device. Battery life is great, and it's a snappy phone with great features.
FYI I just read an interesting article Why Apple Won't Divorce Samsung today that explained how Samsung make all the chips for Apple products. You can't go wrong with Samsung mate.
Android users on this forum are generally friendly and Damn knowledgeable too.
Enjoy your new phone!

OK. The fact is that Vodafone and Telstra get all their updates later. This is because of the better 3g signals they have built in the phone. So due to this their updates come out a little while later. Also it depends where you are in the world (eg. UK, AU, USA) because the UK has already got the update as far as I know. So there is two options here to stay with Vodafone if something does go wrong so you have a backup. And referring to what Unlawful had said he is right you do need a stock Vodafone ROM or features and such can go wrong. BTW I am also with Vodafone but running a custom ROM.

Thank mate. I updated it manually, months ago.
The Gnex is an awesome phone (I upgraded from a NEXUS S), and with stock jelly Bean (rooted) with stock kernel it runs smoothly and is stable.
I miss rge Wolfson audio chip of the nexus s though bc audio recordings are terrible and crackling with the gnex.
Fast charge is something that I now need and otherwise I'm satisfied!

Canadian users. Bootloader Loop. Telus.

I've posted in here a couple times before about my phone being stuck in a bootloader loop.
Ever since JB came available all roms would bootloader loop.
Now that there is an OTA update it also bootloaders loop.
The only things I can think of is that I bought my phone from Rogers and I am using it with Telus.
Telus doesn't actually sell Galaxy Nexus' just the Note and the S3 and stuff.
So would that be a problem in causing my bootloader loop? Did anyone else have a problem like this and how was it fixed? Will I ever be able to get JellyBean or future updates on Telus if they don't sell Nexus?
I guess just confused on what to do from here if I can actually get JellyBean on this phone...
Thanks!

Follow the instructions here to flash the stock JB ROM.

[Q] 4.1.2 JZO54K Won't OTA to 4.2 But Another GN Will?

So I have a small question...
I have a Galaxy Nexus, had it since day 30 or so. Updated OTA many times and rooted every time, using the stock ROM so everything is perhaps more simple.
The lady friend has also got a GN. Her phone downloaded the OTA update and is now bugging her to install. She purchased her phone only a couple of months ago. We're on the same build number but my GN won't see the update to 4.2.
Is there a reason for this? Did Google pull the update once they have figured out the December bug and haven't yet fixed it?
I am a little worried as I used the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit to root my 4.1.2 phone but as the toolkit wasn't updated, I used the settings for 4.1.1. I am certain I did this to my partners phone too, but that is the only thing I can think of as to why I haven't got the update.
I'm not totally desperate for it, but just wondering why.
Thanks

Nobody really knows (afaik) how Google decides which Nexus devices get OTA updates first. I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with how 'old' your device is though. And having root won't affect the OTA update, don't worry. You do need stock recovery though.

Stock recovery?
I don't have anything like CWM installed. My phone is completely stock apart from rooted
Might try re-rooting using the Toolkit as my phone version (just in case) and then just wait I guess. Just a shame it won't see the update as I would have thought once they set the server to show there is a new version, all devices would see it... just like Windows Update for instance.

Man up and do it the right way..

[Q] Error With Galaxy Nexus 4.2 Update

Hello;
I recently purchased a Galaxy Nexus (Takju) from a guy on Kijiji (we love using it up here in Canada), it updated to 4.1.2 fine, when I try to update to 4.2, it downloads it, during the installation I get the screen with the red exclamation point. After that the phone reboots and is still at 4.1.2. I contacted the guy who I bought it from and he said that he unlocked the bootloader, not sure what this means.
I have read some of the threads on this forum and others, it sounds like the radio has to flashed. I have no idea what this means or how to do it, I am a simple Android user, all of my updates are OTA.
Can someone help me with this? I would love to get 4.2.
Will Google provide a "radio-friendly" update to 4.2?
Thanks
Sheldon

[Q] Can I go back to 4.1.1

Hello to all,
Currently running 4.1.2 on my tmobile s3 and getting ready to root with this guide. Ever since I upgraded to 4.1.2 my phone is running much slower. I see their is a 4.1.1 rooted rom that I can flash. My only fear about going back to 4.1.1 though is security. I was reading about a screen lock bypass that was an exploit i believe in 4.1.1. Can this be patched in 4.1.1. I would really like to go back to it, however, I don't want the exploit to come back. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Flash S3Rx or Dandroid. Don't need to downgrade.

This. You're experiencing slow downs because of either the ROM you are using or the kernel.

Well, I have not been rooted up until today. To clarify myself, when t-mobile upgrade to 4.1.2 was made available a couple of months ago, my phone slowed way down as compared to 4.1.1. it was an over the air upgrade. It is not terribly slow, it's just slower. Any how today, i rooted my phone using the guide mentioned in my previous post and it worked flawlessly. I installed 4.1.2 jelly bean image with root injected into it. Very easy and straight forward guide actually. In the future I will consider other roms.
Thanks to everyone for all of your input
