Hi just got a new I9250 and I noticed its running 4.0.4
Is this the latest for this device?
I would have thought it would be at least 4.1. something. I tried to do an update but it says its at the latest level.
how can I tell what country its from as I bought it grey market from thinkofus in Hong Kong.
Any help much appreciated
It depends where you got it from - if it's a 'yakju' model then you should be on JB, if it's a non-Google maintained handset then I think they're still on ICS
No it is not the latest version of Android as EddyOS has said in the post above, however it may be the latest that your build of Android has (many regional variants of yakju). You can however flash it to yakju (Google's stock build) and get the latest versions of Android as soon as they come out (of course taking into account the batching of OTAs). Refer to this.

Couldn't find the thread while scrolling through numerous threads, so many have been written. I currently own the SGN with official 'yakju' build from Google, ICS 4.0.1.
It is well known the OTA 4.0.2 ICL53F has been rolling out in Europe. I am however still on 4.0.1 (ITL41F) and selecting software update showing there are no updates available.
Anybody already received the update to 4.0.2 (with a fair few bug fixes) in the Netherlands? I am starting to think we do get our updates fairly slow in the Netherlands.
I live in Sweden and have a British (UK) handset bought from Clove in the early days of December.. I'm still on 4.0.1 (ITL41F) as well! Hopefully we will start seeing 4.0.2 or 4.0.3 rolling out soon
No update here. Yakju build..

I ended up flashing the 4.0.2 stock image from http://code.google.com/android/nexus/images.html and just wiped my phone and set it all up again.

Thanks guys for your replies Knowing I, with many, am not alone with 4.0.1
Is it necessary to get root if I want to install the official image?

I assume method 2 in this post can help you (and myself if I decide to manually update).

I got the 4.0.2 update on my NL purchased GN (studentmobiel.nl) almost as soon as I took it out the box... in fact I got the notification before I even had a chance to root and unlock it, this was way back before Christmas (I got one of the first batch of deliveries).
I'd heard they've pulled the update due to some issues with the build. Probably releasing 4.0.3 soon, though
You don't need root to install a stock image but I think the bootloadee must be unlocked.

Hmm this is one of the reactions I was hoping for 'cause I too ordered it at studentmobiel.nl and nothing yet!
I haven't rooted the GN yet but am waiting for the FOTA. I know updates are spread over a period of time but still odd. You think it's related to a specific provider?

Yeah heard that too so the update never reached mine (and a lot of others) before it was pulled out.
Well time to wait or to root and flash some then, cheers!

If Google fixed something in 4.0.3, it should be released with newer built number. 4.0.4? Or 4.1 that was discussed a bit lately?
My only hope is battery life improvement and faster performance

Btw, I have one from Algebeld.nl, still on 4.0.1... Yakju.

I believe they fixed a few things in our build 4.0.1 that resulted in 4.0.2. I don't know exactly what the changes are for 4.0.3 although I'm running 4.0.3 on my SG S 1 but that is custom CM9.
I have to say my battery is great on our SGN and it's really fast in it's performance, especially if I compare it to SGS 1 with ICS. Ofcourse we have a way better processor, memory etc. in our SGN.

That's weird. I'm pretty sure i have had my GNex in the first "Studentmobiel.nl" Delivery Batch and was delivered on the 8th of December.
Untill now, i did NOT receive any OTA Update so i'm still running 4.01 Yakju.
The phone came SIM-locked Free, in combination with Vodafone SIM. But i'm still using my KPN SIM and did not even used my Vodafone SIM-card yet.
What could be the difference? You do have received the OTA Update!
Tnx

No mate, I live in Belgium and have the GSM version, still on 4.0.1 ! I heard that 4.0.3 is much faster !

Not sure.
Remember the 4.0.3 update was halted - I'm not sure about the 4.0.2 update.
I had a VF SIM in when I got my OTA but like yours mine was SIM free and unlocked.
But really, just put a custom 4.0.2 or 4.0.3 rom on there and be done with it...

So you now running a Custom Rom? Which one and what are your experiences?
I've learned that Unlocking the Bootloader will wipe all my data?
Can you, besides having Root, explain the advantages between Custom and Stock Rom?
Much appreciated......

Yes, I'm running MCR Ir8 (Modaco Custom ROM) which is actually a tuned version of stock, not a full custom ROM. As a result it's very, very stable. It's based on 4.0.2 which is Google's latest release for the GN.
If you run a custom ROM you can even get a 4.0.3 one which is compiled directly from Android source code. But there's a reason Google hasn't released 4.0.3 yet via OTA so you can read into that what you will - 4.0.3 is cutting edge now but may not be 100% stable.
Nevertheless, I used the 4.0.3 AOKP ROM for a bit and thought it was great.
Custom ROM's tend to be more feature rich than stock ROM's including many settings that people feel are "missing" from stock roms... some of which are mods that can be applied to a stock rom but others are changes that go much deeper. For example CyanogenMod, by far the most popular custom rom in Android world, has and additional 30 or so options you can set that you can't do with a stock rom - from memory management to user interface to all sorts.
Yes you will wipe your phone if you unlock the bootloader. There is a way to backup beforehand using ADB, I think there's a guide here somewhere??? But in my mind it's worth the pain, you only have to do it once.
Best way to discover the wonders of a custom rom is to install it and have a play... I'd recommend either MCR (very close to stock) or AOKP (bleeding edge 4.0.3).
On verizon here, and I am still on 4.0.2, but I see threads about 4.0.3 and 4.0.4. Are those unofficial or is my phone just missing the updates?
4.0.2 is the last officially released build for the Galaxy Nexus.
4.0.3 has been released to some devices (not any version of the GN), and as it is part of the official source code base available, is the base for pretty much any actively developed ROM.
4.0.4 is a "leaked" OTA update. The full verizon OTA installer package can be downloaded from google's servers but is not available as source code, so the only ROMs done with it involve modifying that package.

Nailed it!
OP, I realize you may want to get the update, but you're not alone. Everyone else who hasn't rooted is still on 4.0.2 as well.
Hello all. I appologize for the silly question, or if it has been asked before, but here it is.
I just picked up a Galaxy Nexus online, brand new and unlocked. I got it, popped in my Virgin SIM, have it all ready to go and synced with my Google account, but I am stuck on ICS.
Here as some specs:
Android Version: 4.0.1
Baseband Version: I9250UGKK7
Kernel: 3.0.1-ge2433f2 [email protected] #1
Build Number: ITL41D.I9250UGKK7
If I go to System updates for the OTA update, it tells me that the sustem is up to date.
Is there any way to get the official update for my Nexus?
Also, the device is not rooted, and does not have an unlocked bootloader.
Please let me know, as I am very interested!
Thank you!

The GSM version of the Gnex is sold with different software variants in the although all look almost the same.
Only the Takju and Yakju variants are updated to Jelly Bean and that update is offered directly by google. All other variants (yakjuxw, yakjuxx and others) are updated by samsung.
You can, however, flash a yakju or takju factory image from google and then get all the updates fast but that means you'll need to unlock your bootloader, and flash that image. That will result in a complete wipe of your data, including the internal memory (where you keep your music, photos and so on). Make a backup and read the threads here in the forum.
Cheers!

Just to add to his statement, Canadian variant is yakjuux, which is soon to be updated to jelly bean. However, if you don't like slow update, just flash yakju or takju, didn't hurt to convert to them

UGKK7 is a radio, it is not a build. The build you are running is yakjuux ITL41F.

That is a radio, not a build. And yes, yakjuux will get a update pretty soon... There's already been a leaked version on xda right now (thank you efrant!).
If you are willing to wipe your phone once to unlock your bootloader, I day flash to yakju or takju, since these variants gets the updates much faster than yakjuux variant.

Ah, I see. Thanks a lot!
I guess I will wait and for Samsung releases the JB update for yakjuux ITL41F.
Since you mentioned that someone recieved a JB yakjuux build, then maybe Samsung will release it in a couple of weeks?
Can't wait for it to happen soon!

Even though Google devices are kings in the Android world, WHY THE H£LL DOES GOOGLE F-UPS ALL OF THEIR NEXII!?!?!?!?
Is it hard to say, "WE ARE GONNA BE IN CHARGE OF UPDATES!!! SO SHUT UP VERIZON, SPRINT, CANADIAN CARRIERS, AND EVERYONE ELSE FOR THEIR OWN BUILDS & CARRIER CONTROL!!!!"
The only success seems to be the Nexus 7 since they can't run on a carrier, leaving it with only one version of the OFFICIAL software.

I agree with you on Google and Samsung messing up on the variants... Really stupid of them if you ask me, but I personally can care less cuz we could always convert it.

Hi,
I am from India and using Gnex ("yakju") unlocked phone with JB 4.1.1 version. I am planning to upgrade my phone with 4.1.2 build since it is released. But the OTA update on my phone does not show any new version and still says "Phone is up to date".
Can someone please suggest me what could be the reason here.
Thanks a lot for your time.

First, your location really has nothing to do with the OTA. If you're running yakju or takju, the software update will come to you quickly regardless of where you happen to live at that time.
As far as the 4.1.2 OTA goes, very very very few people are actually seeing it. I find it hard to believe that its even rolling out officially yet. If you're anxious for 4.1.2 you can flash the stock image, which is available. Otherwise, just wait for it to show up and notify you that it's ready to download. It will come, there's nothing special you need to do.
Thanks a lot for clearing my doubts. I was under the impression that 4.1.2 is released via OTA.
And surely I will wait for the release to be available by Google.

Correct me if i'm wrong but I couldn't find any significant changes for Gnex on 4.1.2 changelogs...
Hey guy i was wondering if my current android version it's an official release from google or not. Because i want to update from 4.1.1 to 4.2.1.
Im also a bit confused when i read the guides to root and install the rom.
Thanks a lot!
Welcome to the club! Have you rooted and installed a custom ROM or are you on stock? If you're looking for over the air (OTA) updates from your carrier this isn't the place. I would recommend the first post or two in your respective carrier's development forum (Verizon, Sprint, etc.) to get you going.
If you open Maps & check Menu >> Settings >> about it should tell you which Device (variant) you have (the hardware is the same). Any GSM Galaxy Nexus can be flashed to Google stock yakju or takju images.
