[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.

Advice for yakjuxw people who complains about bugs and wants yakju and

Hi ,
I love stock rom , it sounds like untouched version and I'm kinda streotype person and I don't wanna change it , but there are lots of problem with stock rom , then
What should we do ,
You need:
GALAXY NEXUS TOOLKİT V4.0 ,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392310&page=78
( It's really easy toolkit and it's exe , you don't have to do anything hard or complicating , just install it )
Factory Images for Nexus
http://code.google.com/android/nexus/images.html
Download images here and flash it with toolkit ( it's easy , you don't do anything , just put this file to toolkit , it'll take care of it )
and done , you have yakju version and believe me all bugs ( auto rotate screen , Reboot bug on Galaxy Nexus during music playback , menu bugs etc. )
Note : Sorry for my English ..

Same builds, different regions.
Can't really see your point here..
Both Yakjuxw and Yakju are on the ICL53F build.

Yeah. Exactly the same build.

i just bought one galaxy nexus, but went it arrive a notice that its i9250t, do you know how can i change that to the normal i9250
sorry for my english

The only issue I have with changing manually to yakju is that I will lose all my data and have to set up my 200+ apps again. There is no existing backup that works sufficient without root. Too bad!

You can root without unlocking your bootloader. See link in my sig. Once you root, backup and then unlock you bootloader and flash whatever you want.

Not the same. The yakju 4.0.2 build number is ICL53F. The yakjuxw build number is ICL53F.I9250XWKK7 or something like that, which is a Samsung build. It is based on ICL53F, but it is not ICL53F. There are some difference that may be affecting things.

I would have to agree with efrant on this. Before I had stock yakjuzw and flashed to plain yakju. I compared the phones and the plain yakju was snappier than the yakjuzw that I had.

Rogers gsm nexus is yakju?

I was under the impression that gsm nexus phones on Rogers were not updated by Google. I tried that official update app and it says my phone is updated by Google? I never flashed yakju, unless wugs toolkit does it automatically?

What does it say in your System settings "about phone"? I believe it should be stated there (but I'm in the middle of flashing ROMs so can't look now). If that doesn't make sense: try Android System Info from Market. I read you can use that too in order to determine if you have Yakju or Yakjuxx

You actually can tell if you are on yakju from the settings -> about phone menu. If the build number is ITL41D, ITL41F, ICL53F, or IMM76D, you are on yakju. If it says anything different, it is non-yakju. (Won't be able to tell which non-yakju build you are on though.)

I had this same problem finding out what I was updated from Google or Samsung. I am also with rogers. Canadian GNeX are not Yakju they are updated from Samsung. The WugFresh ToolKit does change it to Yakju but only if you come back to stock using it because the stock version that WugFresh's TK uses is a Yajku Version
Sorry if that was hard to understand

Im with rogers and my Gnex build is ICL53F so from what i read thats yakju so we would get the update from Google..so not all rogers gnex are non yakju!

Not a reliable indicator. My yakjuux device shipped with 4.0.2 ICL53F.
Open /system/build.prop as a text file (you can even do this without root from a file manager such as Astro), and scroll down to the "ro.product.name" line. That's where you'll see yakju, yakjuux etc.
Or in Terminal emulator, or over ADB shell, type:
getprop ro.product.name

All Canadian GNs are yakjuux (unless you bought a used one that someone already modified). If you are yakju, the build number in Settings>About phone will say either ITL41D or ITL41F or ICL53F or IMM76D. That's it: only 6 characters. It you are yakjuux, it will say something like ICL53F.I9250UXLA2 in the build number: about 17 characters.
This is just as reliable as any other method of finding out what build you are on.
On non-yakju builds, the last 3 letters on the build number are the radio that shipped with the build, and the two before that will indicate the 2 letters that come after yakju. Eg., for yakjuux, that would be UG, for yakjuxw, it would be XW.

My nexus came from Rogers, it was yakajuux. It's now a yakaju.

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.

My Nexus is from where? And what firmware I have?

That means you're getting OTA via Samsung, not Google. What I recommend you to do is use Efrant's guide to convert from what you have to yakju or takju. It only takes few minutes... Make sure that you got everything backed up, since the process includes you wiping EVERYTHING.

But when I connect my Nexus to kies it keep saying "connecting", tried on two different computers.
BTW, am I running the right firmware?

Well first of all, Gnex doesn't use Kies... You need to download the drivers yourself
And what do you mean by right variant?

Samsung use kies right? Where can I get the driver?
I think I am using Verizon firmware?

Are you with Verizon? If not, the answer is no.
Only device with Samsung Touchwiz uses it. Gnex is a PURE ANDROID. Without any brand bloatware. That is why it doesn't have Kies.
Verizon variant is mysid and if you have GSM Gnex and you can text, call and etc, you don't have Verizon variant. You don't need to worry about that.
You can get the driver and how to install it from this post

according on the web, IMM76K seems to be a Verizon firmware?

That is Verizon Android 4.0.4 version (I think). Mysid is like a "codename" for all Verizon ROMs. For example, CM10 for GSM Nexus is either takju or yakju, but CM10 for Verizon will be mysid. Hope that answers your question

how can i update to 4.1.1?

Here's the link

GSM versions also have IMM76K....

I want to update instead of flashing the phone to keep my data. Check this page, it says at the bottom that my device "was never offered as an over-the-air update"?

Yeah, but he told me that the Verizon variant is IMM76K. Sorry if I confused you.. English is my second language...
---------- Post added at 05:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:46 PM ----------
OP: If you don't want to convert to yakju or takju, you just need to wait. From what I know, your variant doesn't have the Jelly Bean OTA yet (Blame Samsung). I personally would just convert it and get it over with. That's what I did, and I am very happy with my decision. Photos and musics and the moved to your computer and apps+data can be backed up by following this guide

I thank you for your help. Here are my last questions:
How to tell if my phone is an import and find out where it is from?
BTW I still can't update (not flash) to 4.1.1

Well the variant can tell you if it's an import. For example, you have yakjuzs is a China variant, so it is an import. If you had takju, it will be from US. If yakjuux, Canadian. Something like that.

Ok i think mine is not an import then, thank you very much!

There are ways to unlock the GN without wiping data (it involves using an exploit rather than "fastboot oem unlock").
ezekeel's app has such a method.
However: I am not familiar with the Verizon GN that you say you have. I can't say for sure the app will work with it. You can ask around in his thread. There may also be other ways I'm not aware of.
