Hi all,
I'm new here so please go easy on me. I've had my Gnex for about 4 months now, and totally love it. But right now I'm still waiting for 4.2 or 4.2.1 to turn up, and getting increasingly annoyed with it's no show.
I've tries checking for the OTA update, and I've tried deleting the Google Services Framework Data to kick start it, but so far, still no update.
Last night I tried sideloading the update using ADB on Mac OSX and a ROM I downloaded from Google. After slowly figuring out what I was doing I managed to get the update to transfer via ADB but then for some reason I kept getting "Installation Aborted" reported on the Screen of my Gnex.
I'm losing it now. I have 4.2.1 on my Nexus 7 and love it, and I really wish my Gnex was in sync, features wise. But the update just isn't showing up.
It's a Yakju international Gnex, I'm in the UK on O2 network. Previous OS updates have come through as they should (on 4.1.1 now, never got 4.1.2) but I just can't get 4.2 on there.
Any help would be hugely welcomed, thanks a lot.
Download the factory image from here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#takjujop40d
Just flash that manually and you will be on stock Android 4.2.1 for Galaxy Nexus Yakju.
That's what I said I did and it reported "Installation Aborted" any ideas why that happened? I tried numerous times.

No, you tried the OTA update. The link I gave contains the full factory image (system,data,kernel,recovery etc).
You need fastboot to flash it.

No, I downloaded the 4.2.1 ROM you linked to and use ADB to Side load it. Is that the wrong way to do it?

Follow these instructions to flash the factory image: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895
Hi,
I followed those instructions to a T, I get to:
"9) Flash the system partition: fastboot flash system system.img"
And the commands no longer do anything, they just report "File Not Found" or words to that effect.
I do appear to have unlocked the Bootloader, but still the update will not install when I sideload with ADB.
What am I doing wrong?

yakju JZO54K from JRO03C
yakju JOP40C from JZO54K
and
yakju JOP40D from JOP40C
and all report "Installation Aborted".
what version are you even on?
I said in my first post, 4.1.1.
I think I'm getting somewhere now, I know no one is likely to care that much, but the single thing that makes this so hard for a n00b like me is that there are so many different sites with conflicting or differing information on how to do this, some say use ADB, some say use CWM (which is what I'm doing now). NONE explain even briefly what these things are.
Anyway, I'll let you know how I get on now, using CWM to install the OTA updates in order.
the smartest thing u can do is get galaxy nexus toolkit 10.1.0 for your Mac. It will allow you to flash whichever factory image u want and also unlock your bootloader and root your phone if you want. You can find a thread for the tool kit on xda itself. My friend and I did this to update to 4.2 the day it released. If it helps please press the thanks button.

good. god. no.
dont use a toolkit.
So I just tried using CWM to install the JRO03C -> JZO54K, and I get this error:

Using a toolkit is very inviting when I know nothing about what I'm doing and no one appears to be able to help.
Why should I NOT use a toolkit.
are you sure you're on yakju and downloading the OTA update to yakju?
did you previously root your phone and modify anything?

No I've never rooted it (I think my lack of knowledge here proves I'd be unlikely to manage that myself) it's a Yakju phone, running JRO03C for sure, its what it says on the screen.
Anyway, I THINK I'm managing to get the Fastbook Flash technique working now. I hadn't fully unzipped the Image for 4.2, now I have and have the system.img files etc to work with.
I'll let you know how I get on.

YES! I've done it.
I managed to flash using the Fastboot method, my mistake was not fully unzipping the .zip I downloaded from Google, I had got confused with the ADB route for sideloading the device and didn't realise the Fastbook method required full unzipping the file.
Thanks all of you who helped me, sorry for being such a confused noob!

Now, if you look back on the procedure you did with fastboot... you know how to restore your device to factory state, step by step. No toolkits, no scripts.

Hello, i want to change yakjuxw to yajku.
I got Galaxy Nexus Toolkit V7.3.
Which options should i use?
3.Unlock bootloader and then 9. To download and flash factory ROM
or something else except that?
Here is the guide that I used.
http://leemn.wordpress.com/2012/02/01/galaxy-nexus-upgrade-to-official-roms-yakju-build/
Scroll down to where it starts talking about Fastboot. The guide was intended to update to 4.02, but it still applies. The file names will just be a bit different.
Shows you every step, every adb / fastboot command required.
Here's where you get the image you need.
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#yakju
You learn more this way. Better than one click methods.
any possibility of hard brick?
can i flash official 4.0.4 or even 4.1.1 over 4.0.2 on phone with this method?
the guide you gave me
says to flash bootloader-maguro-primekk15.img but i only have
bootloader-maguro-primela03.img - another ending, i think thats because i downloaded other rom(only 4.0.4 is on google site),
can i flash this over 4.0.2 on phone? do i have to change other names accordingly?

Like I said in my post , the file names will be different because that guide is for flashing 4.02. It's just that the same rules apply.
Aslong as you have the new radio, bootloader etc you will be fine. Just type the commands to suit the different file names.

I tend to feel the opposite. For someone new to doing all this (very much like I was a week ago), it's best to research and do it manually and learn exactly what's happening each step of the way.
I use a friends account. I dont know much about rooting etc and iäve tried to google some info but i get nowhere..
Can someone explain to me how to do it from aokp-maguro-build 27 to jellybean?
I know its a worthless post to many here. But not for me. So i hope you can have some patient with me.

Do you need no root, or do you just want a stock ROM without customizations?
Edit: If you want stock everything the gnex toolkit is a good place to start.
Here is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392310

If you just want stock Jelly Bean you can download the stock image from here:
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
Obviously this will be 100% stock, no root or customisations. You CAN still root though.
If you want AOKP Jelly Bean you have to wipe and flash. Use something like clockworkmod to wipe and flash the latest AOKP JB Build. Still experimental though.
In any case, copy off your data as you are going to wipe in any case. Restoring the factory image !!ALSO WIPES THE SD CARD!!
Just a really simple way to unroot your device:
- Download the GNex toolkit (sticky thread)
- run it and choose the unroot option
- read and do the steps which a displayed
- finish

Okey, thanks i will try it. its just that i dont know much about it and i think my phone is **** with root. It freezes and stop working/rebooting quiet often. which is to me a big problem. So i just want stock jellybean and nothing more =)
You are using a really old AOKP ICS Build (27) and you are wondering about issues?
Not really?!
Root isn´t the reason of your reboots/freezes.

You can't just flash the factory images from recovery like any other rom. They should be flashed from fastboot using usb(the hardest part is making the drivers work).
When the drivers and fastboot work, all you need to do is run the following commands:
"fastboot flash bootloader <name of bootloader.img here>"
"fastboot reboot-bootloader"
"fastboot flash radio <name of radio.img here>"
"fastboot reboot-bootloader"
"fastboot -w update <name of zip-update-file included>"

If you want to do it in recovery, you can use the files I had posted here to flash IMM76I and update to JRO03C using the instructions here. (I haven't had a chance to pack up the JB files for CWM-flashing).
But I would suggest this method I had posted earlier.
I have used toolkit from Skip but I cant seem to get a rom to flashpast bootloader image?? Please help I think I may have to many methods and got confused..

The flash-all.sh script included with the Jelly Bean download has all the required commands and in what order they should be done. Pretty simple really. Even if you are running Windows it should be pretty straight forward to follow.

I was just checking things out after I just woke up and tried this forum for the first time. I might have cluttered up things since I tried Wugfresh kit 1.5.2 first that didn't work, then tried skip's toolkit, that seemed to work but i might have to wipe all my cache maybe and davlik cache too? I'm unlocked and rooted but i can't get past long boot up jellybean x screen. I was patient like 30 minutes. Not sure what to do i have ROM Manager app, Titanium Back up app, busybot and connect bot. amI trying to many different things?

The OP has a Verizon device. Therer is no JB factory ROM, so the commands that you refer to won't help him. He just needs to flash CWM, download whatever custom JB ROM for Verizon that he wants, and flash it in CWM.
I have modified the Yakju Galaxy Nexus factory images by completely wiping my Nexus, restoring using the factory images supplied by Google, rooting them and repacking the images with root intact.
After trying so many ROMs that are available, sometimes I think, especially considering the latest releases from Google, that stock is the way to go. Flashing it using these images is my preferred method, being the cleanest, and I have provided these for your convenience as I haven’t seen them anywhere else only ever seen flashable ROMs (i.e. from Recovery) based on the factory images, etc...
These are:
Factory Images “yakju” for Galaxy Nexus “maguro” (GSM/HSPA+)
Android 4.1.2 (JZO54K) with SU binary only
Android 4.1.2 (JZO54K) with SU binary and SuperSU app
Download links are here. MD5 and SHA1 sums are listed so you can check the downloads.
You have to use Fastboot to flash these to your device. The only requirement is that your device's bootloader is unlocked, which you can easily do, but be warned that this will wipe your user data as will flashing these factory images.
To Unlock Bootloader (in the terminal):
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
Unzip the factory image and just run the flash-all.sh in a Linux terminal or flash-all.bat in the Windows command line.
thanks 'mate! I'm gonna try this out in a bit last time I was on stock was still 4.1.1, and my current custom ROM is still on that version.
What are actually the differences of 4.1.1 and 4.1.2? Just thought you had any idea.. :cyclops:
In 4.1.2 I've noticed better battery life like others have reported and notifications can now be expanded and shrunk if you hold on them and drag up and down.

Hey, thanks for the links, just want to ask, if I'm already rooted and unlocked my bootloader, if I flash this via fastboot, will it erase my apps/internal memory/photos and such? Quite curious it's just the unlocking the bootloader that deletes all data. Will like inquiries. Thanks!

If you just run the script as is, it will wipe everything. The best thing to do is just flash the system.img if you want to retain your data.
