I am still on the stock radio 4.0.2 and was considering going to 4.0.4. I am pretty sure that it is a leak just like 4.0.3 was.
My question is how and when are official radios released? Do they come packaged in with ota updates? Are they released by Google? And lastly is the 4.0.4 radio an official release or a leak?
Thanks!

If they're part of an OTA update then they become official I guess; however, the radios that are always floating around are proper radios that you can use. Just make sure you're flashing the correct one (LTE / GSM).
4.0.4 is a leak but it's official. (If yet, in theory, not a final "product").
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).
Has anyone made these available yet? Preferably flashable. There are several differences between the official Jelly Bean change log and my version of Play Movies and Play Music from Pete's latest BB and someone with the latest OTA told me they had those features with a different version number. The Play Store shows no available updates.
i am on stock ICS 4.04(not rooted). baseband version I9250XXLA2. build no.- IMM76K,I9250XWLD2. i have updated to stock ics but cant update to JB. it says ur firmware is up to date. i have also tried clearing google services framework but doesnt work. can anyone help ?? (GSM version)
looks like you're on yakjuxw so your updates come from samsung, not google.
that version does not have jelly bean yet.
I have the us cellular version of the s3 and downloaded the pac man roms carbon version and now my wallet nfc won't work but I tried s beam to test nfc and it's working. Any suggestions?
There's an issue with 4.4 Roms and Wallet on the Sprint S3. Hopefully the official OTA will work or someone will find a fix. Here is a older version of CM11 (the only 4.4/w working Wallet) that will work. Be sure and do a full wipe.
