hello, i am a Galaxy S3 user so this is the first time i flash a Galaxy Nexus.....bootloader is locked and the phone is not rooted, i didn't find the last 4.2 ota file for this G.Nexus model (Yakju).....i think it's not available yet so is it possible to flash a 4.2 takju on a yakju phone ????? and if the ota file is available for the yakju model how can i flash it ????? thanks a lot
Check the stickies section. I think mskip or efrant have a thread with exactly the information you need. I'm almost certain that you can change between Takju and Yakju. Make sure you read and understand everything Before you start though. I'm on mobile or I'd stick a link in here for you.

Yes. If you read the thread I linked to, you'll find that there's no need to root, as the 4.2 image will take away your root. You'll need to apply root again after the flash

No. Please read the thread. You will use fastboot to flash 4.2 takju. That's why you unlocked the bootloader.

Not at all, just unlock the bootloader and flash the yakju images from the link you posted before (and search next time as it's been asked)

You don't have to unlock either.. There is a post somewhere where you can download the factory image for 4.0.1 and upgrade through ota.

Hi Herman....If you know the url of that post that'd be great. I've always thought that the only way to flash images was to unlock bootloader and use fastboot/adb.

Says here is you're not unlocked you can't update it manually:

You could use ODIN to flash without being unlocked I think but you'll also lose most if not all data

As EddyOS stated earlier, if you use odin (which is what the link you referenced is suggesting), you will wipe your device anyway. There is no difference between doing it that way, or unlocking -> using fastboot -> and relocking*, except that you will get ITL41F using odin and update via OTA to ICL53F, versus getting ICL53F immediately using fastboot.
*P.S. I would highly recommend that you do NOT relock your bootloader, as it will save you many hassles in the future. (And besides, it is relockable whenever you want...)
This is really confusing. Fastboot, CMW, odin...What are these ? Is there a SUPER noob friendly post which will guide me from the veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyyy start on how to place a yakju build on my GNexus ? I'm a complete noob (0% knowledge when it comes to android).
You don't need a yakju build to receive an update.. and look in the dev section for guides.

I replied to you in the other thread with instructions for you. You are getting confused because there are many ways to flash a ROM, and you are not taking the time to read up and find out which one would be the easiest for you...
EDIT: OK, finally had the chance to update this.
Similar to what josteink has done with the radios here, I've decided to try and compile a list of all the available bootloaders for the Galaxy Nexus, so that people have a "one-stop" for all of them.
Unless stated otherwise, I've pulled all of these myself from either the yakju/mysid factory images from Google's site here or from the OTA update file list that I have compiled here.
If I am missing any, please let me know, or point me in the right direction.
Notes:
1) I have no idea what the differences are between the versions.
2) The maguro, toro and toroplus bootloaders are identical, so you can use them on all three devices.
3) The bootloaders are shipping bootloaders. To date, I have only seen two individuals report that they had engineering devices, and they have not dumped their bootloaders for us.
Disclaimer: I take no responsibility if you mess up your device by flashing any of these bootloaders.
I have attached both the fastboot image (extract from zip) and the CWM-flashable version.
Bootloader List (in order -- newest on top):
PRIMEMD04 - Source: takju JWR66V factory image. Posted by Carlos_Manuel here.
PRIMELC03 - Source: takju JRN84D update
PRIMELC02 - Source: mysidpr FD01 image. I found this in a post by Whosdaman here.
PRIMELA03 - Source: yakju IMM76D, yakju/takju IMM76I, and mysid IMM76K factory images

Let me guess: you are coming to the Galaxy Nexus from an HTC device, correct?
I can tell based on your post. HTC devices are notorious for brick with a failed bootloader or radio flash. There was no way to re-flash the bootloader given that we only had fastboot to flash it. Samsung devices are a little different: they have download mode, which can effectively flash images without needing to use the fastboot (i.e., bootloader) interface.
By the way, how do you think OTA updates flash bootloaders? In recovery...

+1 upon flashing the OTA, it does update the bootloader of their phone. It is perfectly safe, just be assured that the MD5 matches as the one in the OP post before flashing it in recovery / fastboot.
Tried downloading these, but evidently XDA is messed up right now and DLing any attachments results in a 554 byte file which is useless.
Good thing I check MD5-sums before flashing bootloaders

I had the yakjuxw and flashed it to yakju. I received the past OTA updates just fine, but when I received the message saying there's a new update for my phone, I went ahead and downloaded the 130Mb -140Mb size update and when it asked to restart my phone, it installed maybe a third of the way and the the little android went on his back and "collapsed" and I had to take out the battery to restart my phone. I tried it again and the same thing happened.
What could be wrong? :crying:

In order for the OTA to work properly you have to have stock recovery, radio, bootloader, and system files. You can't have modified anything except an unlocked bootloader.

so what you're saying is I have to re flash yakju?
I restore my phone to factory settings first?
I had yakjuxw also, it comes with a different radio. flashing to yakju (or takju) is not enough. you have to flash the radio also. look for efrant's post in how to do it and get it, it's in these forums, that's what I followed.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895
sorry, just re-read the question, what you describe happened to me when I deleted the recovery folder from the update file. The unmodified file updated fine. But then you have to root and install clockwork recovery again, which is fairly easy too.
Another issue I had prior to that was when I tried to flash the update and I didn't realize that the file didn't finish copying to the phone. check file size it should be around 147mb I think. I hope one of these tips help!

That is because you do not have the XXLA2 radio installed. The last update did NOT update the radio, so it didn't check to see if you had the XXLA2 radio installed and, hence, did not fail.
I had exactly the same problem, however as everyone is saying; Just flash the xxla2 radio again and the problem is solved!

Hey guys I just traded my s2 for the nexus and im loving it! Couple quick questions I was wondering I am on 4.0.2 and I wanna go to JB and theres no OTA update my phone is a unlocked GSM Nexus People are saying certain models get updated by samsung and others by google and they can be converted etc.. how do I find this out and how would I convert it?
thx everyone
-Kevin
Tired of writing this same response for the last 6 months so I'll give you the short version:
"takju" (from Play Store originally) and "yakju" (originally sold in the UK and W Europe) models are updated directly by Google.
All other models GSM models (yakjuxw, yakjujp, etc.) are updated by Samsung (slower).
Any GSM model can be changed from yakju** to takju. You'll remain "stock", and won't be rooted or modified in any way.
If you want to flash your phone to takju and receive OTAs from here on out, use this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895

Its not confusing. Not to be rude, but if you can't follow a simple tutorial and type a few commands, you should not be modifying your phone. Don't rely on a toolkit to do the work for you. You'll be better off for knowing how to do it yourself.

If you didn't flash the bootloader radio and recovery (ones marked "optional" in guide), the OTA won't install. Unless you actually did install them and you don't know.
Can someone please let me know how to do this. i have search everywhere and no one says anything. they only provide a link but it does not provide step by step nor links to do this. my Gnex is unlocked but not rooted. I would like to go back to stock so that i can update to JB. Thank you in advance.

Well if you're only unlocked, and not rooted, have custom recovery/ROM or anything, you are completely stock. Just unlocked bootloader... OTA has nothing to do with unlocking bootloader. Also root doesn't stop OTAs. Just FYI... Only flashing custom ROM, custom kernel or custom recovery or a change to a system partition stops the OTA.

Yes you can use that guide for toroplus (i.e., Sprint) devices as well if you have the images. But since you don't have the userdata image (and therefore you skip that step), you may need to boot CWM and wipe /data and /cache, but only if you experience a bootloop.
So in recovery I have to flash each image? That's the part I don't get.

You cannot flash image files on any recoveries. You need to do those in fastboot mode using command prompt.

That's not at all what I said.
Follow the guide. But for the userdata image (which you don't have), boot into recovery and wipe data.
I finally did it!! If anyone needs help let me know. PM me.
