[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] Terminology questions

Is there a thread that explains the terminology commonly used around here?
What is toro?
What is maguro?
What is a milestone?
Seems like ROM devs are using this term in place of "stable"?
Where can I find out what the latest available OTA is for the CDMA gnex?

Just out of curiosity, where did you end up getting it from (if you can share that info)?

I just got my phone today and I'm loving it. It shipped with 4.0.2 and I ran a system update check and says its completely up to date. Does the CDMA Gnex not have official OTA's for 4.0.3 and 4.0.4? Do these have to be flashed manually?

There never was any 4.0.3 OTA update for any GN device. 4.0.4 OTA is not yet available for CDMA devices yet, but there is a leak in the thread I linked to above.

[ROM][INFO] Completely STOCK 4.1 Jelly Bean

I'm just providing information and a link for people (like me) who want a completely stock JB ROM that is not rooted, tweaked, or messed with in any way at all. This is the stock JB that Google used for their JB nexus demonstrations.
THIS IS NOT MY WORK...I AM SIMPLY PROVIDING A LINK TO THE COMPLETELY STOCK JELLY BEAN ROM. AGAIN, THIS IS NOT MY WORK OR LINK.
ALSO, THE FILE NAME SHOWS "TAKJU" WHICH IS THE USA GALAXY NEXUS (THAT IS PURCHASED FROM GOOGLE PLAY STORE), SO I'M NOT SURE IF IT WILL WORK CORRECTLY ON ANY OTHER UNLOCKED NEXUS' (LIKE THE YAKJU). I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE YOU MAY DO TO YOUR PHONE.
Having read all the information above, here is the link:
http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager/device/maguro/developer/clockworkmod?manifest=http%3A%2F%2Fgh-pages.clockworkmod.com%2FROMManagerManifest%2Fclockworkmod.js&name=ClockworkMod&deviceName=Google%20Galaxy%20Nexus%20(GSM
I simply used the galaxy nexus toolkit (see sticky thread in this section) to unlock my phone and flash CWM (I didn't need to root), and then flashed the stock JB via CWM.

Thanks! Just unlocked, flashed the JB image and re-locked.
Now I'm (not rooted) and back to stock and locked JB!
No waiting on the OTA here!

This is the same build on the I/O Nexi. So they are all going to have to root and unlock once the OTA hits? Don't think so. It's the same version as on my Nexus 7, down to the build fingerprint.
(yes I have a Nexus 7 - bought from someone who attended I/O).

Interesting.
Takju is for a completely different device and will not work on a Tegra 3 device.

Thank you mate. This was what im looking for.. By the way, yes, its JRN84D.

Stock jelly beans with baseband XXLF1
Thanks guys for posting the link to the ROMs. I just finished updating mine two days ago and man this is awesome. BTW, I also flashed the baseband radio XXLF1 and it works better than XXLA2 (Australia, OPTUS network).
P.S.
Got my phone unlocked (originally yakjuxw) but is using it in OPTUS network. Now its all Jelly Bean

What makes you think that just because these are test builds pushed out to I/O devices they are going to have to be rooted and unlocked to be updated? That doesn't make any sense. Think about it:
Google supplies GNex to I/O attendees.
Google pushes out OTA to those devices for JB (no unlocking/rooting required to receive)
Why wouldn't Google later push an update for devices on pre-release JB to bring them to final release builds? What this means is that there will be two OTA files being pushed, one for IMM76K -> JRN*** and for JRN84D -> JRN***.
I have a very hard time believing Google would require I/O devices be unlocked and rooted to install the official firmware.

True, plus for OTA you have to be bone stock: stock rom, stock kernel, stock recovery, stock radio, and appropriate bootloader to be able to grab an OTA update

Well no, you can grab the OTA in most cases but without everything stock it won't install

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.

takju or Yakju?

When my new Galaxy Nexus arrives, how can I find out if it needs a takju or Yakju update?!
Just want to download and prepare everything in advance...

Where did you get it from? Takju phones are only available on the Google Play store. Other variations are sold overseas. You can download the "official GN update" app (name might be a little off) from the play store and it will tell you which version you have.

tajku is with Google wallet, so if you don't need it, you can go either way.
Only way you know that before hand is if other people who bought from same place tells you

Where did you buy it from??
considering you're apparently from Holland you'll need to do this:

I ordered it from a site google.nl is linking to. However I received an email from them today that my order is delayed since the device is in backorder at their supllier...so I can only wait and hope this isn't going to take week(s) :crying:

Western European devices are mostly yakju!

Download this app from the Play Store to check the version of your device: GN Official Update Checker

Use Maps
you can find out if it's yakju or takju by simply
*going into the maps app
*settings
*about
the version should be under device
eg
samsung yakjuxw

Unless you have google wallet, you have yakju. Yakjus are far more common and seem to get the updates a tiny bit earlier in the rollouts.

with CM10 i have yakju and with AOKP i have takju? strange no?
And with the stock rom i had yakju too. I think this yakju/takju thingy doesn't matter when using custom roms, am i right?

you can get you product name (takju yakju etc) by:
Code:
adb shell getprop ro.product.name
adb.exe is included in the Android SDK.
there are just different software profiles for Galaxy Nexus the hardware profile however is the same - 'maguro'.
I used to be on yakjuxw but flashed takju as it updates faster.
basically
takju = yakju + google wallet.
takju & yakju are both GSM/HSPA+
takju & yakju are distributed by Google
yakjuXX are distributed by Samsung
actually this name you can change it anytime from /system/build.prop.
so, yes it does not matter much

If you want to know how to flash it go to the Galaxy Nexus forum and you'll find a guide. It's very complete and well written so you shouldn't have too much trouble flashing the update on your phone. (or you could wait for a few days and hopefully you'll get the update via OTA, I'm sure it will arrive soon... well if you are on yakju anyway)

4.2 was released on Takju first and Yakju got it about a week later. They get the updates at about the same time anyway as they are both updated by Google.

People if i got yakjuXX will i be able to use fastboot & flash cyanogenmod stable for "maguro"?

Yakju got android 4.3 before takju, so yakju is better.

Normally takju gets updates first but that all changed with 4.3, yakju got 4.3 update before takju, so I'm guessing Google changed their minds an made yakju their first choice from now on with receiving updates first.

When maguro was released, there was only yakju. But then again, there's no real difference between the two.
a maguro sent this.
