i have a GSM Galaxy Nexus and i'm rooted running the Thunderstick soft and chewy 4.1.1 rom. much to my surprise today my phone received an over the air update asking me to install 4.1.2 ; first of all, i didn't know a non stock custom rom could receive an ota update and i've been rooted on custom roms now since the beginning of ics and my phone has NEVER once ever before received an ota. especially now given that i'm already on a 4.1.1 and i got an ota update asking me to go to 4.1.2; so pretty surprised to put it mildly.
secondly i have GNofficial update app which tells me that my phone is either updated by google or not updated by google which i've found to be depending on what rom i'm using and currently my thunderstick rom makes it say i'm not updated by google. even if i wasn't rooted i never thought i would be updated by google anyway since i'm in canada not the united states and on some little ****ty carrier called Mobilicity. the last thing i ever expected was to receive an ota update. who sent it? Mobilicity? Google? i don't even have a clue where exactly this ota update is coming from. am i to believe that my galaxy nexus which came with android 4.0.1 originally out of the box and has never once before ever received an ota update would suddenly send me 4.1.2? so to re-cap that means if i had never rooted i would still have been at 4.0.1 and suddenly be getting 4.1.2 and in Canada and on Mobilicity of all things. so i'm super confused but that's not even my real question.
what i'd like to know is what will this update do to me? will it bring me from this beautiful exquisite custom thunderstick soft and chewy 4.1.1 to the STOCK 4.1.2??? and unroot me? it wont stop pestering me about it either, it just keeps prompting me do go for it! i checked on rom manager and there isn't a thunderstick 4.1.2 yet. mostly i'm very confused at even receiving it and that it keeps prompting me as if i have to do it or it wont go away. i could just imagine me doing it and then it sucking cause it's stock and not like thunderstick's soft and chewy which i've fallen in love with and then me going to the trouble of re-rooting and re-flashing thunderstick and then probably receiving the damn OTA all over again! has anyone else had this happen? why am i receiving a stock ota update when i'm already not even running stock?
is there a way i can make it stop asking me to install the ota update? can i make it stop appearing in the notification?

Hello,
So I read some different topics on the forums and decided I would "convert" my Yakjuxw Galaxy Nexus to a Yakju one. So I did that, and kinda expected a OTA notice regarding 4.0.2 and got nothing. I've been running the device as a Yakju for 4 days now, and I'm beginning to think I did something wrong while converting it.
My question is though, did I do something wrong since I haven't recieved the OTA?
And what can I do to get the latest ICS version on my Galaxy Nexus while still being able to get OTA updates directly from Google?
Thanks for your time and Merry Christmas (For those of you who celebrate Christmas)
Why don't you just install the 4.0.2 ITL41F stock image from google.

Hi,
You didn't do anything wrong if your phone still boots! What happens with these updates a lot of the time is they are rolled out in batches, say 5,000 phones at a time. Not all phones will receive the update at the exact same time, and some phones can even go weeks before receiving the update while some phones may already have it. If your phone still boots, you haven't done anything wrong Just a matter of waiting. Or you can install a custom ROM which most of those are already on 4.0.3. This way you can always be on the bleeding edge
Best bet is if you don't mind backing up all your stuff is to simply flash 4.0.2 directly from the link provided by nabiladeeb
Also if you really want to make sure everything is ok do *#*#checkin#*#* from the dialler and download the GN update checker from the market and that will tell you if you are on the stock google build
Stopped rolling out 4.0.2?
I switched my phone from Yakjuxw to Yakju yesterday. I know the 4.0.2 updated rolled out a few days ago. Does anyone know if it's too late to get the OTA update without manually doing it? Anyone get the OTA 4.0.2 after changing in the last couple of days? Want to avoid erasing everything again by unlocking the bootloader...
I got my SG3 like two weeks ago, I rooted it, and today I get an OTA update being pushed.
Is this Jellybean or some other type of update?
my current android version is: 4.0.4
Baseband version; L710VPLG2
Anybody else getting this OTA?
It just happened today.

Now just a ics update most every one has. It's LG8 now instead of LG2.
Sent from Pluto.
If you're still running stock ROM it's likely LG8. Jellybean still hasn't been officially announced for our device yet.
Shiza! Got me excited for nothing...:cyclops:

Question: I am rooted and have CWM recovery. If I were to install this OTA what would happen? Lose root? Loose custom recovery?
how do I deal with the OTA
I am new this. Been rooted for a couple of months. Update popped up just like the other user. I know I cannot install with CWM and I am not currently interested with any roms, waiting for jelly bean. I have the same model and set up he does. I guess I need the L8.
Can i remove the pop up and just wait for a few more months?
Could that create performance issues?
I don't feel like updating and reinstalling everything if I don't have to. Thanks in advance.

OTA offered
My wife just got this update notification. No idea what version it is, but curious if it will break root. If so, anyone know if this version is also rootable?
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..

Hi
few weeks ago I rooted my phone and flashed with CM10, turns out the camera app is gash and wouldn't work, flash was 5 seconds late and no pics in gallery?? whats that about
anyhoo
I am now back to stock rom but not original 4.1.1 I am on 4.1.2 courtesy of N7100XXDLJ2_N7100OXADLJ2_OXA
so my question is.....am I still rooted and if not would I still get 4.2 when released OTA or via KIES
Cheers for your help

To see if you're rooted, check your app drawer for an app called super user. As for ota, go in to settings and about device, software update, update. it'll tell you if you can get ota or not which is not really important anyway seeing that you're into this modding stuff.
No Super User app in app draw, going to updates it does try to connect to the server but says "the latest updates have already been installed"
Safe to assume I am no longer rooted, can I also assume that any future updates will still come through to my phone? even though I have been rooted at some point
Already on 4.1.2 so am wondering about version 4.2
Any clues please
Cheers

Hey guys, my girlfriend owns a sprint galaxy s3 and I've checked numerous times for an update but from 4.1.2 it just says up to date. So to make sure, everyone got an ota update? Perhaps of was pulled..? Last time checked December 1st. Her phone is super slow from all the caches and Samsung crap on there so I'm hoping 4.3 could give her a little boost in performance. She doesn't want her phone rooted.

That's an ota zip. She doesn't want to root, meaning no custom recovery. Nothing. Stock
Yes, I can read.
OTA zips are signed by Samsung and are flashed with stock recovery.
