Help a noob - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hey guys
Im from Norway and this summer I followed a guide to get my phone yakju(?( to get updates direct from google instead of samsung. I have had jelly bean since then. Now I have seen that i can update to 4.2. First i reset my phone to factory because I had so much apps and stuff so it was slow, and now when I signed in to my google account and was gonna check for updates, I cant find the new update. Im still on 4.1.2. Do I have to flash it again or something? I tought that yakju was forever. What do I do to get 4.2? And I also heard something about 4.2.1 coming soon, should I just wait? I googled and found the factory images from google, but I forgot how to install them and if I should or not.
THanks guys. I hope I dont need to root or something, because I like everything stock.

nevermind, got the update directly from my phone now. But if i get some trouble, show me how to flash from stock 4.2 image

read the sticky at the top of the forum.

Use this software:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392310
with this you can download and flash factory roms.
I found it among the stickies, just like the other guy said, just to let you know it won't update on its own unless you donate:
so if you don't find the factory rom you're looking for (for example the upcoming 4.1.2) you will have to manually re-download the whole software as soon as it gets updated with the new version of android.

[Q] Should I revert back to stock to get official OTA JB update for Verizon GNex?

Question is simple. I installed the leaked JB updated for my Verizon GNex a few weeks ago (build JR0O30). Per screenshots I've seen of the OTA update, what I have appears to be identical...same build #, kernel version, baseband version.
Is there any benefit to me going back to stock ROM to get the OTA update for my device? Note: having access to future OTA updates would be something I'd consider a "benefit."
I tried searching for the answer to this question several different ways and failed. That said, I'm confident there's a thread out there that answers my question, so please feel free to paste a link to that thread and viciously berate me for my forum search failings.

In short - no, there are libraries that need to be copied over with the apks. Also, you may get better responses in the actual t-mobile GS3 forum.

Although it's really T999_UVDLJA [the latest]... you can find the files here:

Not only was this Question put in General and not the Q&A section, it is a readily accessible answer just by doing a little searching.
Seeing as how this was your first post, I can tell that you probably skimmed the Rules when you registered. If that was the case, here they are again.

[Req] Anyone have a Bell GT-N5120 stock rom available?

I can't seem to find any Bell or Rogers stock ROMS for the Note 8.
I didn't realize there was a 5120, and tried to flash a 5110 insecure image.
I can't believe, that after many months, no one has ripped and uploaded the stock ROM, and no one has has provided a rom that I can find yet.
SOMEONE ... please help.
BTW I tried "N5120XXCMH2_N5120OXACMH2_N5120XXCMG7_HOME" via ODIN and it fails.
I tried "KERNEL-BTU-N5120XXCMH1-1375359679" and the screen gets artifacts. (BUT I can get into CWM and/or Download mode).

Ah, yea, I realize I'm at the mercy of Bell to release the update for the software ... I didn't choose the tablet. I won it from MobileSyrup.com

[Q] verizon m7 sense 6 update caused root failure on weaksauce plz halp me justincase

What's going on xda? I wanted to post this in the developer forum, so that possibly Ya know, a developer would see it and read it but the site said "no" so I have to post here. I had my phone rooted with weaksauce I was gonna go all out and unlock the boot loader and s-off but weaksauce made it so easy to have root access I was pretty satisfied with just that for a little while at least. Then I got an update Download from Verizon. I pressed where it said update now. I was curious. I'm sorry, anyway now I have the Verizon version of sense 6.0 and weaksauce shows me root failure when it runs. It's been like this for quite some time now and I've been searching around for any info on it but I'm the only person who has made a post about it so far. Other people also have this problem, I made a post on android forums and many others are sharing the same issue. Developers please. Let me know if you share the problem or know the solution or if you are currently working on the solution because I am getting slightly impatient. Thanks
Why not post this in Verizon HTC ONE forum? There you will receive more help.

If it was actually that simple I would have already done that. I have a VERIZON m7. Weaksauce was the only root method I tried that worked, so it's not that I'm too lazy to search around for the correct thread, it's that that correct thread doesn't exist yet so I just keep making threads on different android forums until I flood the internet with my words and someone finally notices.

Whats Going on? What is going on is that you really didnt pay attention to the rules when you joined. Had you then you would know why you cant post in the Dev forums. You would also know that had you posted this in the dev forums, it would have been deleted on site.
Now I am gonna move this to the proper device forums and advise you to take another look at the rules before you post again.
Basically, you are SOL until Firewater/Weaksauce/Towelroot is made to work on our latest OTA.
Had you run Firewater when you had root, prior to updating, you would have been able to update and retain s-off and root.
Since you didn't, you are now stuck without root until/when/if an updated method/exploit is posted.

Dude, keep moving it if it makes you feel important. The rules really are not my main concern on this site, I had a question it got answered pretty directly after about 4 useless "this has to be moved" posts now I'm going to continue to wait. You guys are like maids for this site do they pay you well? Is it just fun for you to move threads to the correct place? pretty much: LOL @ false sense of entitlement thread police

Your thread got answered after it was moved to the right place, so that mod with "a false sense of entitlement" is the only reason you got a accurate reply.
Your call, but a bit of appreciation for those who keep this site running and volunteer to help is never a bad thing. Running a site of this size is not an easy task.

Wow so let me get this straight. You come to a development sight and want to ask a question? Tthen you post in the wrong section so you get the least amount of answers. So not only does a mod come along and move it to the proper place so you have a chance of getting an answer, but tells you where you messed up instead of just deleting your post. So you proceed to call names and insult me? Then break the rules again. Well how about this. The next time you decide to insult someone you will be banned from the site and then you be stuck with what ever simple minded questions you may have. Take this as your only warning. I would normally just remove you from the site for good but I am in a good mood today so I will let this one slide.
