Galaxy Nexus Yakjup Update from 4.0.4

Dear All
I currently own a Galaxy Nexus GSM phone. I bought it here in the UAE from Samsung. I installed the Android Info app, and found that my phone is a yakjup build phone. I am having difficulty getting the update for jelly bean that has already been rolled out nearly 5 months ago. I am wondering if someone can specify a link to an easy guide or specify instructions to follow so that I can change my phone to a build that can receive the updates automatically OTA from Google.
Thanks

In short, your build is still on 4.0.4, if you want 4.2.1 you'll have to change to yakju/takju

4.2 Update for Note II LTE?

All,
Any updates on 4.1.2 OR 4.2 Update for the Note II LTE (GT-N7105), as the updates are out in other markets.
But, here in the UK, with EE, nobody seems to be talking about them ..
Also, will N7105 with EE, get updated to 4.1.2 Or will it straight away get updated with 4.2.2?
My Phone is very new (1 week) and not rooted and I don't intend to root either, atleast for a few months.
Go to system preferences - > about the device - > software update –> check for updates
Then will put your device on the download qeue sure many successive updates to reach 4.1.2
Later (6-9) week maybe available 4.2.2 on some networks just check once at week since then

N5110 Stock stagefright patch info?

My wife's fully stock (4.4.2) N5110 started getting update notifications from Samsung Software Update.
Per the info, it's a 7.61 MB 'device stability and bug fixes' patch that includes security enhancements and StageFright fix.
Is there information on everything installed with this patch?
Will installing this block any future attempts at root / installing a custom ROM? (If she ever lets me; this is solely her device and doesn't care about root/ROMs )
Since this is a wifi only note8 - how vulnerable is it to stagefright if I don't patch? Everything I've read says 'stagefright is more than an MMS vulnerability' but then the details only go into the MMS vuln :|
Thanks in advance and sorry if this has been covered elsewhere - I searched and didn't find anything.
I noticed the update today and decided to install it. It did not take very long to install and the Android version number is still 4.2.2, so it doesn't seem that there is anything major. I have yet to notice any changes, but I haven't used my tablet much today I should note that I am also using the wireless version of the Note 8.0 and I have never rooted this devices.
If I learn anything else I'll post here.
It's too bad that they didn't decide to bump things up to 4.4.4 (could use those Bluetooth fixes that were introduced in 4.4.3) while they were at it.
Anyway, I just noticed that there's a new stock rom posted for the USA variant on Sammobile.com and samsung-updates.com. So this is officially "a thing." Haven't flashed it myself yet and I probably won't; I've moved on to Cyanogenmod 12.1. But it's nice to know that Samsung is still pushing out updates for this thing.

T989uvoh1 - update

T989UVOH1 - Beginning October 5,2015 the Samsung Galaxy S II will have a software update to Android version* 4.1.2/ Software T989UVOH1 via OTA or Samsung Kies.* This update provides the Stagefright fix.
My phone wanted to update last night. did anyone take the update ? did it lose root ? what happened when it updated.
Right now i'm backing up my stuff and pushing all my contacts to google and everything before hand.
If you do not know what stagefright is then read :
http://www.xda-developers.com/stagefright-explained-the-exploit-that-changed-android/
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/fix-stagefright-patched-t3173500
- I like the rom i'm on and really dont want to go updating if it breaks my root and everything on my phone.
I found out that i would mostly need to update so im updating now to a new rom SLIMLP
Well I did a little flashing this weekend to see what this update really did. I will say it did nothing. The stagefright v1 and v2 are still active.
The rom is fully bloated to hell. I jumped off the rom after that. Do not update to this build from t-mobile it does nothing.
I wonder if someone can upload the new radio that comes with it.

Huawei W1 Android Wear Preview 5 to General release

OK so I am a complete beginner with Android. I've had my W1 for nearly a year.
When Android Wear 2.0 reached Preview 5 I decided to take the leap and load it onto my watch.
All is working fine and has been fine for some time.
My question is Huawei have advertised and confirmed that the Full release of Android wear 2.0 is coming end of March. If that is the case, do I need to downgrade my watch to the previous version of Android Wear to receive the update or will i receive the update anyway?
Any help or advice appreciated.
I think you have to flash a new image when it is out, or downgrade to receive it via ota
There are many questions in various threads about this.
Many users are making wild ass guesses, but they have nothing reliable to base those on.
tl;dr We will not know until it ACTUALLY releases!
Based on my experience reading the updater scripts of OTAs in other android devices, there is always a firmware designated as the "target" firmware for the OTA to update. If the firmware installed on the device does not match the target, the OTA aborts. The target firmware in this case will undoubtedly be the latest official release, so I think there is a high probability that the OTA will fail (or just not show up) if you have DP5 installed.
