Can somebody explain how to update to 4.0.2

i just unlocked the bootloader and downloaded the firmware from google (4.0.2 (ICL53F)). As detailed as you can be for a noob, now what? lol, thanks!
Also i have the gsm version, "yakju" for Galaxy Nexus "maguro".

As far as I know, you simply have to unzip the archive and flash the bootloader, radio, recovery, and system images

Extract the tgz
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-maguro-primekk15.img
fastboot flash radio radio-maguro-i9250xxkk6.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot update image-yakju-icl53f.zip
Note no -w on the update. Adding -w will wipe the device before applying the update

ok where exactly do i unzip this file, and how do i flash? i need details!

EDIT: Unzip the files to the same directory as fastboot and open a terminal session in that folder/or CD to that folder.

ok cool, one last question.. when i extract the file it creates a folder in the directory with the files in it. do i take the files and put it in the directory where the folder was created or leave it

Will this lock my bootloader again if I've unlocked it before?

No

So those codes are what I type into terminal correct?
and to enter into fastboot its volume up & volume down and power key
i guess i cant just do flash all? if so whats the command?

1. All settings/apps/data will be preserved when using this method right?
2. Also will this preserve root?

Thanks for the guide. Just flashed mine. Everything went perfect.

if you downloaded yakju-icl53f image, extract with 7zip and you shoud see a .TAR file. Extract it again with 7zip and you should see bootloader-maguro-primekk15.img, radio-maguro-i9250xxkk6.img and image-yakju-icl53f.zip.
Copy this files to adb/fastboot folder and open command prompt (SHIFT + right click – “open command prompt here”)
Reboot your device in bootloader mode and be sure fastboot is recognizing your phone with this code: fastboot devices
if you see your serial number's device, you are OK; if not, you have to install Samsung drivers properly.
then flash the images:

I have a problem: When it tries to write the factory image to system, it stops. Are there any solutions to that?

Fastboot flashing

Ok, back in my HTC Desire HD days I could rename a prepared radio zip file to PD98IMG.zip, move the file to my SD-card root, then go to fastboot and the file was immediately recognized as flashable and I could choose to flash it, without going through adb.
Is there any similar method in Gnex?
For instance, I would like to flash a ClockworkMod Recovery update file straight from fastboot, without adb commands (i.e. a PC).
Thanks.

no. HTC phones use hboot which is their own bootloader written to look for that file name.

Thanks!:good:

In the Nexus, you flash raw images through fastboot.
'fastboot flash <partition_name> filename.img'
Partition names available: system, boot, recovery, userdata, logo.bin

How to update to latest OTA firmware (MRA58V) when rooted?

SO, i'm trying to ADB sideload the latest firmware (MRA58V), but when I go to the google developers website, it downloads in a .TGZ file.
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
I've tried changing it to .ZIP, then flashing, but it fails invalid signature.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,

Thread moved to proper forum

Simply flash the .img files inside the zip with fastboot. Takes 2-3 minutes.
Since only boot and system changed that's all you need to flash.
The commands I used today for 6.0.1:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot format cache
fastboot reboot
That's it, doesn't wipe anything.

Help restoring to stock image, after trying to install copperhead os

Hi all,
I'm sorry to ask this question, but I'm really struggling to get my Nexus 5X to boot into stock rom. The install seems to go ok, but there was error when flashing.. See below...
archive does not contain 'boot.sig'
archive does not contain 'dtbo.img'
archive does not contain 'dt.img'
The phone now boots to the google boot logo, then loops back to either the "Unlocked Bootloader" or the Custom OS message. (depending on the locked state of the bootloader)
I cannot get into recovery, as the phone just loops back as described above when selecting it from the bootloader option.
Can anyone advise me on how to restore the phone back to stock os. I've tried flashing version 7.1.2 8.0.0 and 8.1.0, using either the flash-all.bat or manually typing the commands. I'm 110% sure this is not to do with over heating on CPU/RAM, I have another nexus 5x that has the bootloop of death and it's bootloop is very different from what I'm seeing on this Nexus 5x.
Thanks in advance

First, the .sig errors are normal so you can ignore those. I would make sure your booloader is unlocked then manually flash the bootloader.img. Then boot back into the bootloader. Then manually flash the remainder of the partitions. Use the 8.1.0 os.

Ok here's what I've done.
1) Downloaded bullhead-opm2.171019.029.zip from Google factory images.
2) Extracted the zip to a folder and extracted image-bullhead-opm2.171019.029.zip to the same folder to get the boot.img | system.img | vendor.img and recovery.img file. (there was no userdata.img nor cache.img within the zip, so I downloaded 7.1.1 version and extracted those files too)
3) Using SDK tools ADB /Fastboot version 1.0.38, I flashed the following:-
fastboot flash bootloader C:\bullhead\images\bootloader-bullhead-bullhead-xx.xx.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio C:\bullhead\images\radio-bullhead-bullhead-xx.xx.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash boot C:\bullhead\images\boot.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash cache C:\bullhead\images\cache.img
fastboot flash recovery C:\bullhead\images\recovery.img
fastboot flash system C:\bullhead\images\system.img
fastboot flash vendor C:\bullhead\images\vendor.img
fastboot flash userdata C:\bullhead\images\userdata.img
fastboot oem lock
Everything flashed without a problem, no error. However the phone still does not boot into the OS nor can I get it to boot into recovery mode.
I cannot understand what I am doing wrong. I think it has something to do with the installation of copperhead I tried. Does anyone know whether copperhead os restricts going back to stock rom due to its additional security features?
I'm stuck!!!
Thanks in advance.

Why don't you use the "flash-all.bat" file? I'm pretty sure you're not wiping your system partition in the process you use.

Hiya,
I have also tried using the .bat script, it leads to the same place. A phone that does not boot.
thanks in advance.

Can you boot into twrp, fastboot boot twrp.img? If you can try formatting, not wiping, the data partition. It also gives you the option to repairing some other partitions, I don't remember which ones. You could try that.
