...I downloaded the 4.0.4 update and went to install and reboot. But the phone got stuck at the screen with the android belly up and a exclamation point. Pulled the battery and rebooted and was at 4.0.2 still. Haven't gotten another OTA notification. Do I get another OTA alert or do I have to update manually.
I have a GSM Nexus, rooted but with stock 4.0.2. And I activated OTA RootKeeper before downloading the update. Any help will be greatly accepted.

Besides root and maybe unlock your bootloader, did you change anything in your system (install mods, different radio etc. or rename system files)? If you are not completely stock your OTA will not work and you will have to update manually or get back to Stock first.

Nothing changed. Except for root and unlocked bootloader everything is stock.

Well the screen you were looking at (Android belly up) is the stock recovery. If you see that: no need to pull battery. Simply push volume up + power simultaneously and you'll get into the recovery menu. Scrolling through the options can be done with the volume buttons, select with the power button.
That said: I think no one knows for sure but I myself would not wait and update myself. There are a lot of guides here on how to do that and if you flash the stock images you will have the same as anyone who had the OTA. Make a proper backup first (you allways should)! You will lose all your data if you have to unlock your bootloader.

Have you installed CWM recovery installed?
The "belly up" android is the phone trying to boot in the stock recovery to update the phone. But as you may have CWM recovery installed (which replaces the stock recovery) the phone cannot complete the update.
You will need to re-install the stock recovery. I believe you can do this with the GNex Toolkit.

Is it possible to get the Stock Recovery Screen when you have CWM installed? Didn't think that was possible... that it would just boot into CWM recovery. That is why I didn't mention it (trying to learn here).
Same problem here. Stock 4.0.2, rooted, CWM installed.
Does this mean we will lose settings before we are able to update the device?

this mean you are not eligible for the OTA update mate, because you have a custom recovery
i suggest you to
flash the stock rom manually
flash a custom rom wih 4.04 inside
my 2 cents

I don't even understand why I have CWM installed in the first place. I only neet root acces, all the rest can stay stock for all I care... Is there a way to avoid these problems in the future? So be able to root and OTA at the same time?

custom recovery is needed in order to install custom ROM dude, is quite simple
and yes, you can root the stock ROM without custom recovery, there are a lot of guide about that in the developer section

So my only option to fix this now is flash 4.0.4 manually (will I lose stuff?) and then root again and get stock recovery back? Sorry for my n00b questions, thanks for your help!
Edit: would it be easier if I just get the stock recovery back and then try to get the OTA to turn up again?

Thank you master for your soothing words. I just want my Galaxy Nexus to be like he is right out of the box, but rooted. Thats all I need from him... I am guessing my girlfriends Nexus S is going to be a pain in my assholes in a few weeks bc its still on GB and my TF101 will also go haywire because of my rooting adventures...
First this GN nuisance... Guess I am going to have to wait until tomorrow, I am flying to Dublin in about two hours and I don't think I can fix this in time...

I want to manually flash 4.0.4 and stay unrooted. Should I use the GNex Toolkit to flash 4.0.4 directly or do I need to flash the same version I have on my phone?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
I had the same issue described by the OP, the belly up android when trying to update to 4.0.4 from the OTA notification. I had previously changed to 4.0.2 yakju using efrant's instructions from the first post in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1391881
However, I had skipped the optional sections. In particular step 12 to flash the recovery partition. I went back and just executed step 12 (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img) and rebooted. Then I was able to update to 4.0.4 successfully from the OTA notification.
I'm guessing I didn't have the "stock recovery" because I previously had the default Samsung version?
Just got the update again OTA, and again the belly up droid. I'm really pissed now, bc it also reset my Go launcher... Had 7 screens w/ widgets and shortcuts...
Why did it go wrong again? I thought I put back the recovery to stock to solve the OTA problem... Should I do other things? The phone starts to really slow down and I'm ready to toss this piece of c* in the bin...

I had the same issue just now with my phone (unlocked, rooted, stock revcovery), but a quick reboot allowed the update to complete and I'm now on 4.0.4. Did you check the version number again after this latest attempt?
Yes, still 4.0.2.
And of course, my phone says I'm up to date. Lovely, NAAAAAT!

ok I got a real good deal on a GNEX on CL and the guy said it wasn't rooted and smart me believed him. Well from what I can tell the bootloader is unlocked, and it is rooted because I ran root checker and it has superuser and wifi tether.It does not seem to have a custom rom on it The problem I see is that it seems to have stock recovery but when I go from the bootloader screen to recovery it reboots the phone most of the time after sitting on the image of the android guy with a red triangle over him. I plan on doing the JB OTA update when it comes out . At this state I am just not sure what I should do to make my phone not mess up in the long run. I was thinking unrooting and locking the bootloadder and re flashing stock recovery would be a good idea kind of starting from scratch. Please let me know what yall think and thanks for your time oh and I am on Sprint
Yeah just Odin back to stock you should be fine. Also you'll be waiting a long time for an OTA of jelly bean at least on sprint. We already have a port of the preview OTA that the gsm version got. Only thing doesnt work is MMS for obvious reasons.

U can come back to stock recovery without any problem u can use gnex toolkit u ll be fine i guess , However JB rom available now are also awesome it works great without any problem ,except some apps yet to be updated for JB update
Stay away from toolkits. You can Fastboot flash the .img for the stock recovery boot and rom it self.

No, Odin only works on windows.
There is no need for the SDK, all you need are the fastboot and adb files for Mac.
Look at the "flash" link in my signature. It has all the instructions on how to revert you device to stock. Mac-specific instructions are linked to a little further down.

To start I am a newb
I Have a galaxy nexus with the 4.1 Jelly Beans ( not stock, installed via ROM from here xda). That's fine. This week a new "system" update was available for my phone. So I downloaded it and the phone reboot, when the phone starts it goes to the cwm recovery screen saying the update failed. I would like to have some HELP, I found other threads, but I really don't want to do anything worng.
My questions:
How can i get the updates to work again?
DO i need to get ICS back to update the phone?
How should i do it?
Can I do that without losing my data ( would be great, but i am ok if there is no way)
I am just afraid if i go back to ICS, and the update don't show up.

Flash your phone back to stock... then do the ota update... profit...

Everything must must be bone stock to install an ota.
Jellin' like a felon
The issue at hand here is that you have a custom recovery. I can't say that if you remove CWM that you'll be able to OTA update, but that's at least what was the problem there. Now, if you want to keep all your apps and update to the OTA jelly bean instead of the Google I/O preview build, you can flash this here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737849
Follow the instructions on that post to update. This is what I did and it worked perfectly.
Camera not working after JB update!
Hi! I recently installed JB on my Dad's Galaxy Nexus, whilst everything seems to work fine, I've noticed that the camera has stopped working. The screen goes blank if i access the camera. I've tried installing 3rd party applications for camera, but none of them work! Please help me! Is it a hardware or a software fault?

But going to factory reset will not remove the cwm recovery... right? If i go to factory data reset on my phone ( remember i am using a 4.1 rom) will it go back to ics and delete all roms / root? Cause this sounds like the best way to do it, but you were the first one that said that. Bought my phone from Amazon unlocked ( do you guys think it is gonna update?)
I did that, no help! I think it's a hardware fault. Thanks anyway!

You said you downloaded your ROM from here, but you didn't say which one. There was at least one (Koush's) that was an image of the stock ROM, taken from the OTA update that went out to the phones given out at Google I/O. If you have that ROM (and the corresponding radio), you can just use CWM to install the OTA update. I know this works because I did it myself.
If you really have one of the custom ROMs, your only choice is to return to stock if you want the official OTA. And yes, this will remove CWM and wipe your entire phone (including anything in /sdcard)... so backup anything you want to keep before you try this. See efrant's excellent guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895

Sorry man, I know i am not giving a lot of information, but that's cause i really don't know. I did a random "how to update your galaxy nexus to 4.1" tutorial, and i don't even remember where...... I just know the links i download were from here.
So what i am going to do:
1: Factory data reset
2: I think it's going back to ICS
3: Just do the normal system update that should just pop up.
My only fear is if the phone does not ask for update.
If you restore to stock using efrant's guide, it will be ICS since Google has not yet posted Jelly Bean firmware images. If you don't get the OTA notification or don't want to wait for it, you can just download and apply it manually (see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1419170)

No, that will just wipe data. You'll have a clean phone, but with the same ROM you currently have. The phone doesn't keep a copy of the stock firmware hidden away or anything like that. Efrant's guide is the proper way to restore everything back to stock.
Hi friends,
I recently rooted my HOX, i have been using this device since early may-2012. I recently got an OTA update for Android 4.1.1 & a Sense 4+. So i wanted to know if i can accept the update or will it create complication due to the phone being ROOTED!
Rooted is fine, but modified isn't.
You'll need stock recovery.
well i am still on a stock ROM ,have not used a custom ROM on it.

If you have not removed stock apps using titanium or any other means,
And you have cwm or twrp recovery, Flash your corresponding stock recovery and update should work without problem.

Do you have stock recovery or CWM?
i rooted my tmobile galaxy s3 about a week before the update came out
i have version 4.0.4 now.
and today got tired of clicking the postphone message every day for last month or so.
first time i accidentally clicked update and it failed obviously its rooted
then i selected unroot from superSU and tried that way because i red some people had sucess that way but again triangle dead droid
today i RErooted the phone again and installed triangle away and cleared the count.
tried to update and same dead droid triangle
at this point im kinda lost as to what needs to be done i dont want to brick my phone and not sure if unroot option in super SU will work or not.
i would like to keep a stock rom i had enough headaches with HD2 custom roms and prefer to stay with stock right now.
btw which update is the phone trying to install is it the jelly bean?
and also every time i click update the phone starts over downloading 330mb file. is there a way to save it?
u need to odin back stock recovery.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
If you want to have rooted stock jelly bean then just download the stock root66 in the development section and flash that via Odin. It will leave you with a stock recovery but you will be prerooted. Download goo manager or Rom manager which ever you prefer to install the recovery of your choice. Then flash away. I'll get the link to the thread.
