Do I need to change my build? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hi,
I originally changed from yakujuux to yakuju in order to get from 4.0.1 to 4.0.4 a while ago.
Now I'm trying to upgrade from 4.0.4 to 4.2. I am currently yakuju builld IMM76I. I tried doing an incremental update through CWM and I got an error. I think it's because of the different radios right?
So what would be the best route to fix this? Should I change build's back and downgrade? I also tried installing the official stock ROM but that didn't work either.
Any ideas?

Going through some folders I just saw one of a build backup when I changed it before.
How do I use this backup?
These are the files I have...http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a210/ruckus17/scrnsht.png

you can't update from 4.0.4 to 4.2.1 through ota
through ota: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1419170
through official nexus factory images/fastboot: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895

When trying the incremental updates, I had downloaded the files and ran them through CWM, not actually through OTA.
I tried the google factory image through CWM and also through the Gnex toolkit, again with no luck.
I have the system update notification on my phone, but everytime it goes to install the update, it fails and displays the android logo with a red triangle in his chest.
Like I said, all I did before, was unlock the phone and change from yakujuux to yakuju to obtain 4.0.4 without root. So that's all I can really think of why it isn't installing any updates. My Gnex is now rooted and unlocked.

who said anything about cwm or a toolkit???

I had meant I had tried with the toolkit and CWM before trying the link you posted.
The return to stock method worked. Thanks!

Yanju Galaxy Nexus crashed on system update

Hello, my rooted Yakju Galaxy Nexus crashed this morning when it was being auto updated to 4.0.4 and now it's stuck on 4.0.2 and won't update (I had to pull the battery out to exit the error screen). How can I update to 4.0.4 build? Do I have to do it manually? if so, what are the proper steps to install the official google build for 4.0.4 OS?
It's simple, use the Toolkit

The update failed because you have something that is not stock, be it the kernel, recovery or any files in /system. You can replace whatever is not stock with the stock version, or you can just re-flash the stock ROM (see here for instructions).
ahh i actually used that ToolKit to root my phone. Also, is there a way to know what part of my phone doesn't use the stock?

[Q] any difference between factory 4.0.4 or OTA to 4.0.4 from 4.0.2?

hi i just upgrading my phone from 4.0.2 to 4.0.4 imm76i (gsm/hspa+ without google wallet),
i am going to root the phone by cwm recovery, then i have some questions:
when i was on 4.0.2, i rooted the box by cwm, and when i want to do update by OTA, i have to refresh back to the original recovery in the factory 4.0.2 image to apply the package, and that's what i have done...
so here is the question: if i root it by cwm again, and then flash the new recovery.img from factory 4.0.4 image download from "https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#yakjuimm76i"
to the phone, will it keep the ability to OTA to next android version? in another way, is there any difference between OTA & factory image OR, is there a identification to know that whether this device flashed a factory image or ota from a previous version?
ok, then if do not mv/rm /system/recovery-from-boot.p after flash cwm(for root), will it restore the stock recovery and keep the ability to do OTA?

The ota is usually just the parts of the rom that have been updated, those image files are the whole rom, if u root u will be able to get the ota but it won't install even with factory recovery,I haven't done it since my N1 but if I remember right u can delete super user from system app folder and delete,--- com.noshufou.android.su and reboot and root should be gone then ota will work and after u update u just root agn .... but your way u did it is always an option ....

thank u for response, i tried to update to 4.0.4 from rooted 4.0.2, and everything is ok.. according to your condition, i think there may be some difference between nexus S and galaxy nexus, so root is not the question(though i met some problem while rooting 4.0.4 caused by the version of su.zip is out of date ).
now i am on 4.0.4 and rooted by cwm, and i didn't delete /system/recovery-from-boot.p, i hope that i will not have to re-flash stock recovery when the next OTA come
When you say that is rooted through CWM, means what exactly? You only used the CWM to root the device? But how?
yep cause i wanna use stock rom on my GN so far, so i use cwm only for root(by flashing a su.zip), and after googled a lot, i think it has went back to stock recovery now, no longer worry about OTA, thank you

No difference. If you did not delete the two files (/system/etc/install-recovery.sh and /system/recovery-from-boot.p) then your device will automatically flash the correct stock recovery on every re-boot.
EDIT: Actually there is one difference: the OTA places those two files on your system, while a full stock ROM does not.

This is wrong. Rooting has no impact whatsoever on being able to install an OTA update.

[Q] Quick JB OTA Question

I currently have a Telus GSM GNex 4.0.4 flashed to the yakju builds so I can receive the OTA updates directly from Google. If I install the stock Jelly Bean 4.1 ROM, will I be able to receive subsequent OTA updates from Google?
Thanks.

AFAIK, for flashing 4.1, u need CWM. if u have CWM, u cant get OTA.

We need to be a bit clearer than that in order to not cause confusion:
1) CWM is needed to flash JRN84D in current form, but that doesn't mean that CWM needs to be installed on your device. Booting CWM is fine.
2) All stock ROMs (including JRN84D) which have been updated from a previous build via an OTA update have two files in /system which re-flash the stock recovery on EVERY reboot. So, even if you did have CWM flashed, it would be gone unless you modified the ROM.
3) Even if you do keep CWM, you will still receive the notification that there is an OTA update, and you can install it -- it just won't install automatically. You need to manually download it, re-boot into CWM and flash it. But it will work fine.

[Q] Flashing 4.0.4 yakju (coming from 4.0.2 yakjuux)

I have unlocked, rooted, and installed Clockwork Recovery on my Galaxy Nexus (GSM, Wind Canada), and now I want to flash 4.0.4 yakju.
My current bootloader is PRIMEKK15 and my current radio baseband is UGLA4
Is flashing 4.0.4 yakju as simple as downloading the image found on google's site (yakju-imm76i-factory-8001e72f.tgz), putting it on the phone, going to Clockwork Mod, navigating to "install zip from SDcard", then choosing yakju-imm76i-factory-8001e72f.tgz, or do I have to open the tgz, then open the tar inside, and then extract this zip and install that in CWM http://i.imgur.com/wXC64.png
Since it's not a custom ROM like AOKP or CM, do I have to wipe data/factory reset in clockwork? Do I have to flash gapps?
Do I have to flash the new bootloader and radio baseband found in 4.0.4 separately?
Also, some people report reception problems with the baseband included in 4.0.4. If I want to go back to UGLA4, is that possible? I would be using the CWM "radio.img" for UGLA4 found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23149491&postcount=139
I think that's all the questions I have, lol.
Well first off, if you're going to do it I'd just recommend you wait for the 4.1.1 image for the GSM GNex to drop. If you're really ansy, then you could flash 4.0.4 and you'll still get the OTA, but just something to think about.
Now to the question, no, you don't flash it like a ROM in CWM recovery. If you wish to completely move to yakju (or takju) to get on the Google update line (not sure why else you'd do it), you need to flash the images via fastboot. All parts of the images. It's important to have the proper bootloader and radio if you intend to receive and automatically install OTA updates. If you don't, you won't be able to install it as it checks for the radio and bootloader as part of the install process.
Follow this guide from Efrant, it's gold: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895
Don't use a toolkit!

I haven't heard about any issues with the latest 4.0.4 radio outside of isolated problems. You can change the radio if you want (via fastboot, rly quick), but as I said, it'll stop you from auto-installing OTAs (which is why you went to yakju, isn't it?). You'll also get a new radio with 4.1.1.
Hmm, I might not even bother, seeing as to get the updates I'd lose CWM and root. Perhaps I will just wait for 4.1 like you said and install that.
By the way, since I am on 4.0.2 but I have CWM, does that mean even if my yakjuux build got 4.0.4 OTA, I wouldn't get notified (because of the custom recovery)??
EDIT: Say Google puts up a 4.1 image next week, I would just need to download it and follow the same steps that are outlined in that post (flashing all the different images in fastboot)?

You can flash CWM and root it again after going to yakju, but you'll have to update manually (no auto-installing OTA) after that. You have to pull the image and flash it, and use an app like "OTA root keeper" to hold onto root.

You'll be notified, but the update won't install. It requires stock recovery to auto-install.
Cool. In that case, I will just wait for JB, then once I flash that image myself, I will reflash CWM and root my phone again.
Thanks for the help, and thanks for the link to that thread!

Please Help! How to restore from backup on laptop

I am a n00b.
Just today I changed my phone from yakjuux to yakju, and it all seemed to go smoothly.
I am receiving texts, and everything seems to be working, and when I was trying to update to jelly bean OTA, everything was going well, until a little red triangle popped up over the little android, and my phone restarted with no change. I flashed my original radio image (UGLA4) so Im not sure whats up with that. If anyone has any suggestions about how I can fix this it would be greatly appreciated.
If not, I would like to restore my phone to yakjuux using a backup I made using this website: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21266325&postcount=239 as a guide. I have all the files saved onto my laptop, but Im unsure about how to use them and restore my phone to its original state (yakjuux)
Many thanks

You are seeing the little red triangle because you have an image that is not stock. You need to do the optional steps to get the ota (i.e., you need to flash the bootloader, radio and recovery). Go back to the convert to yakju guide and do them.
P.S. why did you not flash the JB images instead of the ICS images??

I flashed the bootloader, radio and recovery(I probably should have mentioned that in my initial post). Do I need to download a new image to flash onto my device? And how can I tell if its stock? I got my factory image from the link from your guide.
Im not sure why I didnt flash the JB images... I'll blame it on my n00bery.

Will there be any problems if I follow all the steps in your guide, and pretty much redo everything? I would flash the bootloader, flash the same radio (UGLA4), flash the data paritition, flash the system partition, flash the kernel and flash the recovery the only difference being that I would use the JB image rather than the ICS image.

There will be no issues. Note that if you flash the UGLA4 radio, the next OTA update will not install. You will need to flash the XXLF1 radio before attempting to install the next OTA update. (That is probably why you are seeing the red triangle -- the OTA is expecting to see the XXLA2 radio, and it is seeing the UGLA4. If you want the update to JB to install, just flash the XXLA2 radio, and the update will install.)

Im worried about not flashing the original radio... Im with wind mobile, and I heard that ugla4 is designed to fix roaming issues with winds service. If I switch the radio to xxla2, Im worried that I might get some of these roaming issues and a rather expensive bill.... thoughts?

After updating to JB, I got prompted to update the OS to 4.1.2 and tried the OTA. For some reason it worked even though i wasn't using the corresponding stock radio image, and now I'm being prompted to do another OTA update (4.2.1). Seeing as the OTA worked last time, I tried to do it once more with the 4.2.1. update, but i ran into the same problem as last time: a little red triangle appeared over the little green android. So I did what you suggested, and flashed the xxla02 radio, and then tried to install the OTA but the little red triangle appeared again. So my question is; are there new corresponding stock boot, radio, and recovery images for JZO54K? If so, i probably still have the boot, radio, and recovery images that were stock to JRO03C.
I figure that if i flash the new stock boot radio and recovery images, the OTA should go smoothly. Any thoughts? Or should I just manually flash the 4.2.1 update that i can download from the google developers website ?

Not all updates will update the radio or boot images, but some will. If you are on 4.1.2, for future updates to work, including 4.2.1, you need the boot, recovery and Radio images from 4.1.2.
