I'm on a 4.2 ROM and I cannot get the OTA Update message out of my status bar asking me to install 4.2. How do I get rid of it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I got it once, but when I tried to install it, it failed (and the notification disappears btw). Can anyone tell me if its because of a custom kernel that the ota installation fails? Is there any way to force it? Where is the ota zip stored?

Right. But if I update is it going to brick and/or unroot my phone? These are things I do not want to happen so I would like to know before I go ahead with it.

Obviously flashing an OTA is going to unroot your phone (assuming it even installs). But it won't lock your bootloader so it will take 5 seconds to re root.
I'd rather not deal with it but I guess I'll probably have to anyway. I was just wondering if there is anyway to get rid of the message without installing it? Maybe flashing a 4.1.2 ROM?

huh....if you flash a custom rom, no OTA update should ever appear. Nor could you ever run a official OTA update.

Actually a notification for the ota can show up if your running a custom ROM, and you can run it, but as soon as it tries to install through recovery, it just fails/aborts.

OTA 4.2 to 4.2?
I have gsm maguro which I recently flashed stock 4.2 takju from 4.1.2 yakju.
I did not expect to be looking at an OTA update notice wanting me to update to 4.2 (which I am already on).
I would have thoght the update manager would check the build and version of my phone before offering update. Could it be that because I did an official OTA update from 4.1.1 yakju to 4.1.2 yakju that I am marked down as being on 4.1.2 now, and so is now offering 4.2 without checking the current build and version I am running.
I would like to know how to get rid of that update notification from my status bar if I can, or if I should do the update anyway. At the moment I have unlocked bootlocker but no root. I can not remember if OTA would wipe my apps and data, am guessing no as bootlocker already unlocked?
Some expert advice would come in handy. You know what an expert is yeah? X is an unknown quantity and a spurt is a drip under pressure.
Hmm, what to do. Nexus wizards, please advise. I have started downloading the 4.2.1 factory image anyways but I would still like to know what would be recommended in the situation I was in. I am fairly new, though I have learned to flash stock roms with adb, and have stuck with stock roms for the moment while I get the hang of things. Not sure if I get updates from google now or from Samsung. Am guessing google, but then why would google not offer to update me to 4.2.1 seeing as it is now out rather than to 4.2?

When this gentleman says "Its for 4.2.1" I am guessing that he is saying the update which reads
"This software will upgrade your Galaxy Nexus to Android 4.2 Jellybean..." is actually the 4.2 to 4.2.1 OTA update, just not marked properly?
I just love it when things are marked incorrectly, makes life so much less confusing? They should always do that to keep me in a continuous state of bewliderment. New google policy, mark every file with the name of the file which preceeds it, except on Sundays, when they should be marked in any manner whatsoever.
Thanks for the answer bloke. You are the bees knees. I did kind of have an inkling that it might be 4.2.1. Crazy boyz and girlz. Just mad. Somewhere between irrational, nearly right, not correct, and just plain silly.

I have Galaxy Nexus, I was prompted to Install the Jelly Bean upgrade, but I don't want to.
I know there is a work around to have Flash working, but I don't want to part with Flash and its officla updates just yet. I don't see much gain on Jelly Bean at this moment. If I decide not to upgrade now, will I be able in the future? Will I be prompted again? I don't want to root my device.
Thank you for your assistance.

Keep denying it. Although you make absolutely no sense as to why you wouldn't want Jb. You can install flash and use it just the same. Also since you are upgrading its not going to magically disappear from your phone.

From what I understand OTA Updates come in cycles and have deployment dates. I don't know if that is different between different carriers, phones, or OS levels, but there was a Gingerbread update on my other phone that is no longer available OTA. So it's possible, I guess, that eventually you may not be able to get it at all.

Actually, I just remembered that if you flash a custom Recovery that's one way of ensuring you won't be upgraded to JB automatically as that process requires a stock recovery.
Why you no wantz butter?
Take the update. Its well worth it.
Just install the flash apk
Project butter... I still love my iPhone, but I honestly believe my jelly beans running gnex is smoother. Project butter is amazing.

Flash will remain on your phone if you already have it. Speaking of Flash, the last update on my PC for Firefox hosed my machine and I had to go back a few versions. Sometimes no updates is a good thing.
Yep, i have flash installed and its still there after jelly bean so...

I'd say go with JB. I only really had ICS the first hour I had the phone (Although I used ICS on my work cell).
As others said, if you already have flash installed, you'll continue to have it. There is absolutely no excuse not to upgrade to jellybean.

Hi all, this is in reference to the sprint galaxy nexus. I am rooted running the stock 4.0.4 and I keep getting the prompt to restart and install the update sprint just pushed out. My question is, how do I get rid of that prompt and get the benefits of that update? Should I unroot and accept the ota then root again? Or should I stay rooted and accept the ota (I'm assuming I'll lose root) and then re-root?
Thanks in advance.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
If you want the benefits of the update, you need to update. Can't just magically get rid of that prompt.
So, if you have everything stock, update.
If you want, unroot your phone, update, root again.
If you don't, keep it rooted, update, if you lose root - root again.

Accept the update. When the update is downloaded it should be placed as a zip file in cache folder. If you have Stock Recovery, nothing else is needed, it will install it, but it will unroot you. If you have CWM installed you can apply zip update from browsing into it. Immediately following the update you should re-install superuser so that your device remains rooted after the reboot.
Otherwise you will need to flash the recovery back to stock, apply the update which will take away your root, and root your phone again.

The real question is, are there benefits to receiving that OTA?? If I'm not mistaken it is still ICS with search borked to appease the Almighty Owners of All Things Rectangular. Be better off flashing a JB ROM (Project Butter really is amazing) and flashing the FG01 radios. Both of which can be found in the Sprint Development section.

Sorry, Project Butter is not a ROM. It was Google's initiative to completely remove lag from Android starting with JB. And it really was effective. Personally, I'm using Paranoid Android ROM but there are many good JB choices. Dreamsforgotten and Shabby's ROM I think is probably the closest to stock JB.
Hello everyone.
I have Yakju Galaxy nexus just bought it a month ago. Its version is 4.0.4 few days ago I got a message to update to JB so I started the update but when it restarts the phone I get a green android with something like a jewel in his stomach and a loading bar below it. But just after few seconds (the loading bar didn't finish) the android fall on his back with a red triangle and exclamation mark ! In it then the phone started with the same software. What is the problem and what should I do to get JB. Btw the update file size was 144.9 mb and am on the stock not rooted
And i have important data that i don't want to lose
Try again? Do you have an SD card? Are you almost full on space?

Try downloading the update again. Make sure you have a good data connection (wifi is best). The file may not have downloaded properly.
The Android you saw is not an error, it's just in recovery mode, meaning it's updating the system software. Be patient and let it finish. When it's done, go into settings>about phone, and check the android version.. Good luck!

As Zepius said above, you must be 100% stock for the ota to apply.
i.e.If you switched to yakju and didn't flash the matching radio you must do so.

If you haven't flashed your phone, there's a good chance it not actually a yakju build. My phone was originally a yakjuwx build or something of the sort...
Could you please take a screen shot of your 'about phone' screen, and just to make things really easy in determining what build your phone is -
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.cbruegg.officialupdate
Download "GN official update checker" from the play store (it's not really official from Google, but it checks if you have an official Google build and will be getting direct OTA updates from them rather than Samsung builds, such as my phone's original build)
In any case, it doesn't require any permissions, so just download it and tell me what it says your build is...

I added a photo from Google maps setting which is said yakju device
Well, you're right, you have a yakju build. Bad news is I have no idea what's wrong with the system update, no reason it shouldn't be working...
Only thing I can suggest is to get in the game Unlock your bootloader, root, and and flash it on your own. Sorry I can't be much more helpful beyond that.

As was mentioned earlier, there is something on your device that is not stock. You can't tell what it is when you use the stock recovery. You need to try to flash the update via CWM, and it will tell you exactly where it fails. See the "update" link in my signature for instructions.

i'm running 4.1.
and since a few days ago, my nexus is saying the update is ready and i should update.. i guess it's 4.2?
anyway, last time i updated like this, i lost my root..
so what's the easiest way to accept this system update but still keep my root?
The easiest way is just to flash a rooted stock 4.2 ROM. I don't know why people are so dependent on OTA when they're XDA members...

Install an ap called "OTA rootkeeper" by Voodoo, run it and give it root permissions.
Then it'll do what it says (I last used it on a GN about the 4.0.1 update, should still work though).
I tried this process earlier today, i mean, JOP40C -> JOP40D through OTA, worked fine..
Rooted it in like 1 min. Still got the stock recovery on too. To an unlocked user, i don't see the point of protecting root with app X or Y.

agree with others just flash a rom which is 4.2 there are a few in the developers section which are pure 4.2 or look at rasbeanjelly which is pure 4.2 with a few nice tweaks.
The custom roms are often ahead of the google ones they had the date fixed in the contacts app before google pushed a fix
I received an update notification through OTA, and I've start the upgrade process, the device restarted to do the upgrade, but while upgrading it gave an error and hanged, I've removed the battery and start the phone, but I'm still on 4.2.2, and whenever I try to check for update it gave that there's no update.

Is your phone stock? If you're rooted and made any modifications to system files (mods, build.prop edits, etc) your phone will fail during the OTA. You need to be completely stock on the latest 4.2.2 radios for your model. Basically you have to be more or less on the 4.2.2 OTA to get 4.3.... always been like that for every android version though.
Can't you fasboot flash the factory images?

Exactly what happened to me. So, I flashed factory images, received OTA for 4.2.2, cleared Google Services Framework several times, 4.3 showed up. In process of installing. Good to go.
I think flashing the image it's the easiest way, any one had the link for yakju?
