[Q] About updating to 4.0.4

I am using GSM GN with 4.0.2 stock rom but modified the battery icon, radio is XXLA2 and bootloader is PRIMELA03 and already relocked bootloader
I know the OTA update now is only for completely stock 4.0.2 and I cannot find any custom "Stock rooted deodexed IMM76D" rom for GSM GN
Is there any method to update the rom to stock 4.0.4 without wiping my data??

hello, i have a related question but i didnt want to make another thread to avoid the spam and all the forum trolls.
my question is, i got the 4.0.4 android update (OTA) i did not update yet because i dont have stock, i have Android revolution ROM.
what will happen if i update ? will my device get unrooted ?
will my data be wiped ?
thanks a lot.

best is to wipe all , like uprade to win7 from vista compared to clean installation

dude, as stated also in other threads, you will never be able to install OTA update due to custom recovery
seeya mates

I know the best is to wipe, but it need to backup the whole sdcard folder which is about 10GB data to my computer and then restore and need to reconfig the phone setting after wipe which really take a long long long time!!!!
So I want to find out the method of bypassing the complete 4.0.2 limitation or wait for someone to make a custom rom like "stock 4.0.4 rooted deodexed"
this kind of rom is available everytime a stock rom come out but not in this time!!?

with root explorer, or better with adb under cwm recovery if u have it, u can restore the files modified by the battery mod, and restore that files with the original 4.0.2 ones
in this way, u can apply the 4.0.4 ota when u get the notification

However, my rom is already deodexed!! Anyone have 4.0.2 rom(stock odexed but no need to wipe), radio and bootloader link (CWM zip), so I can flash this three in recovery and then the OTA update

4.1 OTA: Will it come back to my phone?

Hey.. I'd appreciate if someone could assist with this question..
I was running an early build of Jelly Bean and while on it, The offical OTA came to my phone and I wanted to use that one.. of course it didn't work because of root and CWM being the recovery... So i flashed stock 4.0.4 and re-locked my boot-loader... you think the OTA of 4.1 will eventually come back to my phone?

I don't know! what 4.0.4 version you flashed? taku, yakju?
Also you can do this:
flash takju-jb-zip from rommanager download page, it's JB 4.1!
the flash via fastboot the LC03 bootloader, XXLF1 radio and then update JB 4.1 to 4.1.1 when you get notification of the update!
it doesn't matter if yoour nexus is rooted, root will go away and you have to root it again on Jelly Bean..
here is the JB 4.1 work CWM: http://download.clockworkmod.com/test/jb-takju.zip
wipe dalvik cache, cache and then flasj JB-takju-zip and make factory/data reset on CWM and flasj JB-takju.zip again and then the root files.zip,
..
then you have working JB 4.1 which updates to 4.1.1..

Darn.. not even sure..
Version 4.0.4
Baseband I9250XXLA2
Build IMM76I
The whole purpose of me un-rooting was to get the OTA without root. I know I can get the new version thanks to the Developers and CWM but i wanted to know if anyone had any success with an instance like mine. Thanks a lot

You should get JB OTA if it is the stock factory image and the recovery is untouched. Some say that the OTA will come faster if you go to settings -> apps -> all, find "Google Services Framework" and "Clear data". Then check for updates on the about page.

Thanks.. I'll give this a go. Much appreciated

For a quick reminder, you will not be able to receive the update if you are not on Wi-Fi. OTA for mobile data reception will start after 14th afaik.

Interesting that it will only come through on wifi.. i think the update is like 8MB? but i did notice it popped up the first time when i got home and turned on wifi

I'm in Lebanon right now, and my cousin over here has an Unlocked Galaxy Nexus, will he receive the JB OTA? Or is he going to have to flash it manually?

The Update comes right to your phone once you cut Wifi On .. see

Location does not matter. If you have the right firmware and you're on WiFi, it'll notify and download it.

Hi i received today the jb update notice but it didn't work,i don't know if because i moved away of the wifi zone or because my bootloader is unlocked, now I'm trying to check for updates on the about zone and nothing happens.
I'm running yakyu 4.0.4 upgraded by me from yakyuwx 4.0.2; does anyone knows why the jb upgrade didn't work? Will it come back? I don't want to flash it.
Screenshot attached.
By the way, my phone is gsm unlocked bought in Amazon and i live in Perú.
Thanks in advance.

I saw the same thing. No need to update if you have already updated.

I just got the notice too. However, I am rooted with the stock rom. When I check for the actual update it doesn't appear. What gives?

You can try running the OTA but it may fail if you have a custom recovery.
You can use this procedure if you are fully stock (but rooted) LI3:
- You must not have any modified or removed system files.
- You must be odexed (not de-odexed).
- Download eec955eb4a5b.update_SPH-L710_LI3_to_LJ7.zip and save it to your sdcard.
- Download TeamEpic-Root-from-Recovery-v5.zip and save it to your sdcard.
- Make sure you are fully stock (replace any files that you have modified or removed. i.e. Swype, etc).
- Boot into CWM recovery (I found that TWRP will not work due to ro.secure=0).
- Make a nandroid backup (optional but recomended)
- Flash the LI3_to_LJ7 udpate
- Flash the Team Epic (optional but will insure that the ROM does not reinstall the stock recovery on reboot).
- Wipe Cache.
- Reboot
If you are not completely stock LI3 there are other methods posted around here that will work for you.

[Q] Want to downgrade from 4.2.2 back to 4.04 but the backup is not found

Using Bell SGS3 running Task AOKP latest 4.2.2 but want to downgrade back to 4.0.4 (stock). I do have a backup of my original 4.0.4 and can see it under clockwork rom manager but not under CWM (after reboot) Its only showing anything ive backed up since upgrading to 4.2.2. Forgot to add that i'm using the 32GB version of the phone, NOT the 16gb.
Reason being i wanted to unlock the phone and keep it rooted and stock. So i guess go to 4.1.1? Whats the best way to do this? thx

You can use Odin to flash back the Stock ROM. I'd recommend flashing the newest Stock ROM since it has the latest (not so recent) updates and security patches. Stock ROM Firmware Download Links HERE

Make sure you are running the latest CWM, as it's likely the file system structure that's causing the issue. My guess is your older backups are in the non 0 folder, while the new ones are in the 0 folder. You can move your older backups to the newer folder and that should fix it, or the easier way is to make sure you are running the latest CWM.

need to restore phone but how do I keep jelly bean ?

I hope someone can help with a dilemma I have.
I need to flash back to stock rom and do a factory reset on my AT&T SGIII - this I know how to do . However, what I don't know is if the links I've found for tar files for a stock restore (like the one posted here)are for the ice cream sandwich version that launched with the phone, or the newer jelly bean version.
If it is the older version, once I'm done restoring it back to stock and factory settings, will I get an option to update to jelly bean thru AT&T?
Or do I need to find a stock AT&T jelly bean file to flash? If so, where do I find that?
any help would be appreciated. Thanks

this shouldnt be posted here check the general section for going back to stock

Did you update your phone to AT&T 4.3 stock rom via an OTA update? If you did, do not flash any rom that includes an older bootloader as the flash will brick your phone.

No. Ever since going to the Sonic FreeGS3 Resurrection rom, I have been on the 4.1.1 version. I've never been to a more current version than that since that was the last version update for this rom and I liked it just fine.
Even though I'm not wild about having to return to stock, I am at least excited about (hopefully) being able to go up to the latest version released by AT&T. But I wasn't sure if I need to flash a stock 4.3 version AT&T rom (or even where to find that) or if I could just flash the original released stock rom and then be prompted with OTA updates to go to the newer versions.
Any thoughts or input is greatly appreciated.

The latest version of the AT&T ROM is 4.3 which can be done via an OTA update or Kies from a stock 4.1.1 AT&T ROM.
Any reason you need to return to stock? Personally, I would not go near 4.3 as it's not required to install KK ROMS and, once on 4.3, rooting, etc. becomes more complicated.

I have to for work. That's the only reason I'm going back to a stock rom. Plus I want to trade my phone in after a few more months once my contract is up.
