[Q] where can find official ICS 4.0.3 ROM (not verizon..)

Hey all, I'm new Samsung Galaxy Nexus User so I need little bit help, hope someone can help me!
I I have bought Samsung Galaxy Nexus Android 4.0.1 ICS and I updated it to 4.0.2 in about phone section in settings! and it does not find newer update for it!
Is there any official update.zip for 4.0.2 to update it to 4.0.3?
I bought this phone from Finland and it's not Verizon 4G LTE phone!
If I update it to 4.0.3 then can I keep my apps and all other? (dalvik vm must cleaned..?)
and Does 4.0.3 have Estonian language?
(I don't want to brick that phone so that's why I am asking help..
+ why Gameloft games is not working on Galaxy Nexus? /:
and what is the best and most stable + newest kernel for Galaxy Nexus?
Thanks if someone can help me!

The latest OTA from Google on the GSM Nexus is 4.0.2, hope that helps!
If you want 4.0.3, you'll have to go the custom rom route.

Yes, it is a known fact that rooting requires you to "oem unlock" you phone... which clears all the data on the phone, including the internal storage... hope you read that before proceeding...
4.0.3 was never published as an official update...
Not everyone got/gets the 4.0.4 OTA update...
And if you have the CDMA Galaxy Nexus... all updates will come from Google by they will be co-branded by Verizon (i.e., they will have Verizon proprietary files needed for CDMA/LTE)... so you cannot get an "official" ICS update without Verizon involved...

Jelly Bean kernel question

Like many of you others out there, the past few days, I've been flashing all different kinds of Jelly Beans on my GSM Galaxy Nexus. First, I installed bigxie's 4.1 (v1 and v2), then I installed bigxie's 4.1.1 (AOSP). It might be important to mention that my Gnex is originally a yakju and obviously all these versions of JB are for takju, so my phone has essentially been "converted." Later I reflashed the stock 4.1 from the I/O and then installed the official Google .zip file (from xda) that updates from the I/O 4.1 to 4.1.1. After doing this, I noticed this morning that my kernel version was different from others who had just installed 4.1.1 via OTA with the System Updates. So this afternoon I used the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit v7.4 to download and flash the Google factory ICS 4.0.4 image, which obviously deleted everything from the phone. Then I turned wifi on and went to System Update and it was already downloading the Jelly Bean official update, as pictured below:

After installing the above update, I checked the phone's info section and I still had a different kernel version than everyone else, as see below:

While I have kernel 3.0.31-ge8de0e2, it seems like other people have 3.0.31-g6fb96c9. As mentioned before, I had to resort to going back to stock, vanilla 4.0.4, then downloading/installing the update and I still don't have this newer kernel. What is different about this kernel and why is my phone unable to get it?

I have that build of the kernel (g6fb96cp), it really shouldn't matter which one you have.

Something strange just happened to my phone.
After doing some searching online, it seems that the 3.0.31-ge8de0e2 kernel is the same one that comes with the developer preview of JB 4.1 from the Google I/O phones. Just now, I downloaded an update for Google+, and when I restarted my phone, I was suddenly magically on the 3.0.31-g6fb96c9.
Is it even possible that a single app update could carry a kernel update as well?!?!?

Now that I couldn't answer, it's possible but unlikely. All an app has to do is replace boot.img, something that many other kernel apps are capable of (franco.kernel's app, ezekeel's app).

Help with Nexus update!?!

Hi guys. I'm from Brazil and the Galaxy Nexus is named Galaxy X around here, but it's the usual GSM thing that is out for AT&T. Anyway, I'm running stock ICS (4.0.2) and I checked Internet and discovered that several people are already running Jelly Bean due an OTA update by Google. But when I check if there are any updates on the phone, it just tells that it is updated. My question is: is it alright or I am missing an update? Should I root and use CM10? Will it take too long to get stable? Thank you, greetings from Brazil!

A little info. You could flash a Google stock image or choose one of the numerous custom ROMs available, only you can deside which is right for you.

Only yakju and takju builds of GSM Galaxy Nexuses are updated by Google, Galaxy X has a yakjuvs build and is updated by Samsung. Samsung promissed end of August as a deadline for JB on yakjuvs (no 4.0.4 for yakjuvs).
If you don't want to wait, there are a ton of tutorials explaining how to flash a factory image, just get the jelly beans factory image and do it, but, be aware that you will loose all data in your phone (and by all, I mean ALL data, including "sdcard" data). If you don't want to lose all your data, cross your fingers and hope that Samsung deliver what they've promissed...

If you still need to ROOT and are worried about losing your data you can use the Wug's Galaxy Nexus Root Toolkit.

[Q] Do I have a Yakju unit?

Hi,
Got a Nexus from the grey market recently, and today I just learned about the different builds. I did get the OTA Jelly Bean update the moment I was on Wifi when I took it out of the box. Does this mean I have the Yakju version? Is JB out for non-yakju units already?

Did you read the stickies in this forum?

Sorry. Didnt notice it. Just read it now.
I still would like to know if JB is already available for non-Yakju units though.

Highlight with your mouse: non-yakju <-- yes this part. A search tool will pop so you get all the info you need. I worked hard to build the Search in XDA, can you please use it?

Look at the "Build in Settings->About phone. If you see only 6 characters there, you are running either a yakju or takju build. If you see more than 6 characters, then you are on a non-yakju/non-takju build.
As far as I've seen, the Jelly Bean update has only been pushed to yakju and takju builds.

[Q] Android 4.1.1 to 4.2.1

Hey guy i was wondering if my current android version it's an official release from google or not. Because i want to update from 4.1.1 to 4.2.1.
Im also a bit confused when i read the guides to root and install the rom.
Thanks a lot!

Welcome to the club! Have you rooted and installed a custom ROM or are you on stock? If you're looking for over the air (OTA) updates from your carrier this isn't the place. I would recommend the first post or two in your respective carrier's development forum (Verizon, Sprint, etc.) to get you going.

If you open Maps & check Menu >> Settings >> about it should tell you which Device (variant) you have (the hardware is the same). Any GSM Galaxy Nexus can be flashed to Google stock yakju or takju images.
