Questions about yakju!

HI guys I am about to get this phone and I have some questions to ask:
1) Does anyone here who got their Galaxy Nexus from ThreeUK know whether they sell yakju or other software models?
2) If I dont have yakju can I get yakju by flashing a file, and where do I find the file?
3) If I flash yakju do i then get future updates from google?
4) Do I have a chance of losing yakju through updating?
5) How do I flash yakju?
6) Do I need to have root access or recovery to flash yakju?
Please answer all my questions. Thanks

Hmm, like 7 of your questions can be answered by reading the stickies in development.
good day.

1 ) yes three uk is Yakju build
2) you will have yakju so not relevant
3) yes as it's a google build
4) no unless google changes he name
5) no just unlock the bootloader ( erases everything ) but you won't have too
Hope this was more helpful

I did provide a useful answer, and did not spam the thread. It does not matter if you have yakju or yakjux or yakjuwx. Everyone will get the same updates.

Some background might be useful. Did the Market ever work on your phone? Did you do something recently that may have changed that?
Are you having a problem activating your Google account right out of the box? What's going on here?

i brought this off ebay there is simply no market at all, i can not install an apk and in about phone : full maguro 4.0.1 icl23d 288 test keys

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the build being signed by test keys indicate that it is not a factory build?
Can you reboot to recovery? (turn the phone off, press and hold volume_down and the power button until it comes on, scroll down with volume_down and hit power to select the recovery option). What does the recovery say?

Sounds like someone set it back to factory and didn't flash gapps

So...that means that the phone is basically useless? I have the same problem, that's why I'm asking.

Not useless, you'll have to do all the steps necessary to flash a custom rom (unlock, flash custom recovery) and download a gapps flash able, Then you'll be ready to go.

i want to update to 4.0.4 and then to 4.2.2. I have been reading quite a lot of threads but am confused as i'm downloading so many files, but nothing seems to work.
Can you please help on how to update this phone to working android version? once i get to 4.0.4, i hope i get "system updates" option in ICS, and then it should be easy for further upgrade.
Please advise.

Go to the development thread, search for how to root.
Next find the latest stock image/custom rom and flash with gapps!

Is it VZW/Sprint? If so, it might be months until you get it.. that is if they approve of the update anyways. GSM you will get it mid july.. rooted.. you have it right now.

How can I check it? I haven't got even to 4.0.4 so it makes sense for me that I wont be updated..
If I root my phone, will my sms(which arent sycronised) deleted?and what about the rest of my information on the phone? can it damage my phone?

Rooting and flashing ROM's can damage your handset if you don't know what you're doing. Most flashing errors can be erectified though.
Where are you located in the world?
Verizon and Sprint are US based LTE handsets, they arent sold outside the states since they cant work on other LTE networks. Take a picture of your "About phone" page (screenshots can be taken with pressing "Volume down + Power" simultaniously.

Im from Israel.. so its not Verizon probably..
the site doesnt allow me to upload images because im new.. so:

i dont get this update, that what makes me worry.
when I press the' check now' button it ALWAYS says:
your system is updated
last update checked at {this time}

Jellybean isn't officially updated yet mate. You won't get the update for at least two weeks if you have a stock phone. Those of us running it all have rooted phones or were at google i/o and got given jellybean phones.

Have you tried to clear Google framework data and the try to check for updates again?
Swiftkey'ed on my CM9 Galaxy Nexus

I understand your confusion. A Nexus phone should get the update as soon as possible.
I just updated my phone yesterday, thanks to efrant how to guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1419170&highlight=yakjuzs
the problem is so many builds, I learned that yakju build is directly supported by google. However, today I learned that the build takju got the Jellybean update. Question what about the rest, yakjuux, yakjuzs, yakjujp.....etc.? I don't know, only android team knows the update process, so I hope they post something about that in google+, but I doubt that.
We have to wait, either get it OTA(which my never happen) or flash the update manually as soon google post the update URL's specified for your phone build.
If you have quadrant standard installed you can see your build under system information.

Can you tell me another thing Is it safe to flash TAKJU 4.2.1 over YAKJU 4.2.1??

Read all efrant's directions thoroughly first, perhaps several times to be sure you understand the process. Without CWM, i believe your most important step would be "fastboot erase cache". If you have CWM, there's no harm in wiping cache and dalvik. I would even do a factory reset first to be safe. Yes, there are ways to preserve your data, if you already have any, but reading for comprehension is key.

problem to update my at&t s3

hi. i bought a s3 i-747 on ebay this week the version is 4.1.1 i wanna do the update but everytime i must try after 24hours,sinse 4 days i've the same message it's a unlocked phone what i can do to have the 4.1.2 ??? thanks

Root it and put a good rom on.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app

i see that , but when i saw the home screen after rooted i don't like it! it was like the screen of the nexus 4.. i don't like this screen, i like the original screen of the s3... there're no way to have the update from at&t ??? i wanna do the root but i must stay on the same screen not the nexus ones... thats not because its an unlocked phone?

Are u trying to update over WiFi?

yes. but everytime the phone said that i must check after 48hours

You can choose other roms that don't look like the nexus home screen! Try out Cyanogenmod 10.1. I really liked it a lot and it was really stable and smooth!

can you please send me all roms i can install on my s3.. i'll watch them on youtube to see which i can try

Just look at the threads here. There are so many that it is impossible to have a definitive list. No matter what you are looking for, there is most likely a ROM that will meet your requirements. Search and read. One of things about custom roms is that flashing them can be addictive and fun.

cannot update my SGH-I747M
Hi there, I´m new here. I´m from Gdl Mexico. Need help. I bought this model from TELCEL carrier but then wanted to change carrier so I did, to MOVISTAR. Tech guy from this place rooted my phone and installed some crappy firmware "Claro" (this is some SouthAmerican carrier). Said it´s the only one that can work with MOVISTAR for this model. And it does but ever since I did this I´m still running version: 4.1.1. When trying to update, says "device has been modified. Software updates are not available" Kies wont recon.And to make matters worse the "Radio" pre-installed app is gone. I don't want to switch back to TELCEL. What can I do? please help! I´ve tried factory restore,deleting Cache, OTA Rootkeeper, Triangle away etc...Someone help me!!!!
