Not getting OTA 4.2.1 Update - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I recently got my galaxy nexus and it came with 4.1.1 installed and when I go to check for updates it says that I'm running the latest version. Help? Is there any way to push the update? I don't want to flash a custom ROM yet.

Depends on you're carrier. Nothing you can really do. Could be next week, could be next year (Verizon). I know you don't want to root but by the time you're carrier pushes any form of 4.2 we will all be on whatever is next and new anyways.

It depends upon your carrier..Your carrier(Sprint,Verizon,Samsung) decides when to push the ota.For ex-Takju gets the latest update first and then to yakju..
To get 4.2.1(currently latest) you should unlock bootloader in order to flash custom roms and enjoy 4.2.1:good:

That's the thing I have the yakju and my brother has the takju, they are both factory unlocked and they are both not getting the update. I had another galaxy nexus about a month ago and it got the update immediately, someone let me know if you're not getting the update either.

clear the google services framework and then check for the update.

Thanks, I've already tried that but no luck. Any more tips like that? The only thing that I can think of is that Google took off there factory image for download...?

try what i said before, but on wifi. just to be sure... unless you were already on wifi.
the next thing you could do is just flash the factory images without flashing userdata.. that should work without any problems.

Still no luck, could it be that my CID is on fido even though it's a factory unlocked unit? Is there any way to remove or get around CID limitations.

be sure that your Nexus I9250 is not rooted and have stock recovery and the bootloader is locked (not necessary but in case...) in order to receive update. if so, go to app. clear data and force stop "google service framework" then go to setting---->about phone and click on update. repeat these steps many time until you receive the ota update

Unfortunately I've already tried that too and still no luck .

Bought a new Nexus... need help

Hi,
I bought a new nexus yesterday, just found out with android system info app that its a yakjuux! meaning all downloads will be done via Samsung.
It has android 4.0.1. I wanted to check, whats the latest ICS running on yakjuux handsets? if 4.0.2 than how to get it and and is there a manual way to pull the update if its released.
Also, can anyone recommend a good software to transfer data files from desire HD to nexus? would appreciate the help...
thanks
just go to about phone, and tell it to update, should go straight to 4.0.2 , mine did atleast, though not for long since I went and started custom rom'd it up (as usual)
If you want to have the most recent updates, you can change your phone to Yakju here. (the most recent for Yakju is 4.0.4) For transferring data between phones/roms, I would recommend Titanium Backup Pro. It is definitely worth your money.

if i stay on my current ROM, would i ever get an update? is there any way to find out some tentative schedule regarding android updates?

had same problem then installed this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...SwxLDEsImRlLmNicnVlZ2cub2ZmaWNpYWx1cGRhdGUiXQ..
from the market it tells you if your phone will get updates.
Try this it worked for me 4.0.2 - > 4.0.4 go to Settings -> Apps -> All -> Google Services Framework ( just delete cache/clear data)-> then go to the About and should see an strange date for last checked and click Check Now try more then once for me it worked on the ... 4-5 time can't remember.

thanks for the tip but not worked for me... the date was set to 1/1/1970 but after ever trying 8-10 times, it did not work.
Well not being a stock google image there could be quite a delay http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1419170 however this build (yakjuux) seems to have both updates uploaded which means someone somewhere has got it and shared it.
So you have two options root try with this updates manually...
or put a stock image from google code web site
You can always wait ofcourse ... I didn't

thanks for the info. Considering my knowledge is very limited, is it safe to put the stock image? what might be the consequences if something doesnt work out. In case of some problem, i will be stuck with no real help around.

You can find the manual update to yakjuux 4.0.2 here (yakjuux ICL53F from ITL41F): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1419170
I received an update to that version from Google. I believe Google stopped the updates, though, because after the update there was a problem with the Market. However, if you do a factory reset from settings menu after the update, it resolved the Market issues for me.
I have not tried the yakjuux IMM48 update yet, because i'm not convinced that it is a current 4.0.4 update.

Flash the yakju build.

Flashing to yakju is the best choice if you don't used it much... If you don't wanna wipe your phone, there is a way to root without unlocking. Then you can flash to latest yakuux
Hope that helped

Yakju not getting OTA update

Hi guys,
I used the GNEX toolkit to unlock my bootloader and then flash to 4.0.2 yakju. I'm just wondering why I'm not getting an OTA for 4.0.4 or 4.0.3. I've tried clearing the data in GoogleFrameWorkServices. I've also flashed stock recovery.
Did I do something wrong, or is there actually no update?. P.S I'm in Australia.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Im in the same boat.
I have flashed the completely stock 4.0.4 ROM from Google Code. I have not received the IMM76I update yet.
I have cleared the framework cache too and still nothing.
I live in Melbourne (australia) and I am assuming that the update to yakju devices works on a country-by-country basis.
IF I don't receive it soon, I am just going to hope Google Code gets updated and I will just reflash a the newer version.
I do not want to root the phone or using work-around methods to install an update. I like having a completely stock phone with a locked bootloader.
(Marshallaw.. Why not just download the 4.0.4 update from Google Code and flash using Fastboot? Atleast that way, you know your on the latest Android version and have a better chance of receiving the IMM76I update, or if worst comes to worst, just wait until Google Code is updated to the latest version and flash that?)
The way Google updates their devices is pretty pathetic. You would think they would push the update to every stock YAKJU device everywhere and not be so selective. My old Nexus S received 4.0.4 update and my stock Galaxy Nexus never received it, so I had to manually flash. Very stupid.

I think you are confusing a few things:
1) What is posted on Google Code (as you put it), are NOT updates -- they are complete, full ROMs.
2) What is posted here are incremental update that UPDATE your existing ROM.
There is a difference between the two, despite the end result being the same.
3) Having an unlocked bootloader or a locked bootloader does not mean you are stock or are not stock -- it has nothing to do with it at all. You are not adding or taking away anything from the firmware on the device...
4) You say you do not want to use a work around to flash the update, but you are using a work around to flash a full ROM? Something there doesn't compute for me.
5) Flashing a stock update file does not make you any less/more stock than flashing a full ROM.
I don't think you understand what I meant.. Im hoping Google updated their full ROM with the IMM76I kernel and bug fixes...
hence, I am waiting for an updated full ROM that 'includes' the latest kernel update.
e.g. Google Code features :
4.0.1 (ITL41D) and 4.0.1 (ITL41F). I am waiting for
4.0.4 (IMM76D) and 4.0.4 (IMM76I) to be posted on their site.
I also know that having a locked bootloader does not make it stock, but my point was I am on stock 4.0.4 with a locked bootloader, so I am waiting for an OTA so I don't need to re-install all my files/apps.
But if I don't receive the OTA update, I will be reflashing the entire ROM once its available on Google Code.

Well, I'm not sure if this is it but here's the OTA package for IMM76I from IMM76D. It might just be a test build which was only pushed to small portion of users to test it which would explain not everyone getting it.
And Marshalllaw, you've already begun to flash things and mess around, why not just flash the stock build of 4.0.4 straight away rather than relying on an OTA?

Ok, but you do realize that manually installing the IMM76I update (which you can do right now, although requires an unlocked bootloader) ends you up at the exact same place the flashing the IMM76I image when it comes out (and it will still require an unlocked bootloader). So whether you install the update, or what for the full image, you will still wipe, and you will end up at the same place -- you will just get there sooner with the update.
OK but how do you flash this with fastboot once I unlock my boot loader. I need to boot with CWM don't I?

Correct, you do. But booting CWM is different from flashing CWM. When you boot it, you are not "writing" anything to your device - you are only loading the kernel and ramdisk into your device's RAM. It only boots CWM one time - as soon as you reboot, it is no longer there, as it was never flashed - it just existed in RAM.
Additionally, even if you did flash it, it still wouldn't be there when you rebooted, because EVERY OTA update adds two files to your device that automatically re-flash the stock recovery on EVERY boot of your device.

Hi Unlawful. Yeah I can always flash it directly to 4.0.4, its more that this is my first Android phone / first experience messing with bootloaders and roms. I was more so just wondering if the lack of OTA update to either 4.0.3 or 4.0.4 was that i've screwed something up or that the update has not been pushed to all devices.
My device info is: 19250XXKK6, ICL35F. Its basically the same as when I first bought it but not Yakjuwx. I more or less flashed to Yakju because people were saying that you could get OTA updates faster or something.
Thanks for the help, sorry if this is a noob question.
I wouldn't be too sure though I would really doubt it's something that you did. Have you pressed 'Check Now' somewhere in settings to check whether there's an update?

Yeah I hit check now and it always says I'm the most up to date. I tried clearing data in google services framework and then hitting check now. Nothing changed.
I just find it odd that I wouldn't get an OTA for 4.0.3.
I used the GNEX toolkit to flash the stock rom which I got from developers.google.com/android/nexus/images. I read online that someone thought that 4.0.4 was pulled from OTA, but I would have thought I would get 4.0.3. I'm nervous that I've messed something up lol

You did not mess anything up. As martonikaj said, there was never any 4.0.3 update.
Updates are not rolled out to everyone all at once. It could take seconds or MONTHS before you get the OTA, after the first person gets it.
Awesome . Thanks for the help guys.
Having an Android is great for all the exploring you can do, finding out how it works though can be a bit daunting.
Sorry for the noob question!.

[Q] no OTA update yet. why?

i have a swiss galaxy nexus (gsm) and i haven't yet recieved the jelly bean ota update. i have tried the google services framework trick, i even factroy reset the phone, but there is still no update. i know that not all phones get the update on the same time, but since the nexus s has started getting the update i think i should have got mine by now.. (i haven't rooted the phone and i dont want to) is there some kind of problem? should i wait? should i install it manually? what should i do?
i would bet you are not on the yakju version of the software.

Flashed to Yakju, but unable to update to android 4.1
My device is a Samsung Galaxy Nexus i9250 and I was on 4.0.4. I flashed to yakju (had the samsung variant for Middle East earlier) based on the instructions in androidforums (instructions here were difficult for me to follow), so that I'd get updates directly from google. Can't provide the androidforums link since I am a new member (WTF is that, really??).
As directed in the link, I downloaded samsung drivers and firmware, installed the drivers and then used the firmware to flash 4.0.1. The method did not root my device (double-checked that using the root checker app).
It updated to 4.0.2 through wi-fi. After that, it was not updating to 4.0.4 through wi-fi, but updated instantly as soon as I switched to my mobile network, and I have no idea why that happened. I am in UAE, and my carrier is Etisalat, FWIW.
Anyhow, now I'm not getting the 4.1 update either through wi-fi or mobile. When I click on system update, it shows that the update is downloading, and nothing downloads eventually and I get a message intimating me that the download has failed and that I can retry the download.
I have tried the usual trick: clearing google services framework cache and then restarting the phone,hasn't worked.
Can someone help please? I'm closer to a noob than a geek, as you would've figured out by now. So do bear in mind that I need detailed instructions.. :laugh:
Thanks in advance.

[Q] [JB][OTA] Will rooted Phones get OTA ?

Hi,
I got a Gnex from Singapore singtel.
I didn't want to wait for OTA to 4.1.1 so I rooted and flashed JB 4.1.1
I am running the stock rom from google..
Now that 4.1.2 is released and lot of people seem to have got the OTA, I am yet to get my OTA ...
I am wondering if it is because of the Unlocking and rooting done to my device...
Does Unlocking bootloader and Rooting the device stop OTA update to 4.1.2?
Also pls tell me if you have got your OTA yet or not ...

If you're running the stock ROM images from Google, then you didn't have to root. All you did was unlock the bootloader to flash those. If you rooted after, that was completely unnecessary to the process of switching.
(Sorry just a little pet peeve. People apparently have trouble grasping the difference between rooting and unlocking a bootloader, and the difference between a custom ROM and an official Google factory image.)
Now that 4.1.2 is released and lot of people seem to have got the OTA, I am yet to get my OTA ...

Does Unlocking bootloader and Rooting the device stop OTA update to 4.1.2?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
NO. Unlocking your bootloader and rooting does not at all stop your device from notifying you that an OTA is ready to download and install. I don't know how many times this has to be posted in these forums before people understand...
Unlocked bootloader does nothing to the OTA process.
Rooting on its own does nothing to the OTA process. If you've kept a custom recovery, the OTA will not install automatically. The custom recovery does give you the option to flash it manually if you'd like, and keep the custom recovery. If you've changed/removed any system files or flashed a different radio, that will prevent the OTA from applying both automatically and manually. If you've started to modify the device this much, you shouldn't be expecting OTAs to work (this is where a lot of "status 7" errors occur).
If you've rooted and returned to a stock recovery, you can let the OTA automatically install, but you will lose root. It takes ~5min to root again, no big deal. You can also try one of the popular apps that "saves" root while you OTA, like OTA Rootkeeper.
Also pls tell me if you have got your OTA yet or not ...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Just because a couple dozen people on a forum have gotten the OTA doesn't mean that you should have gotten it already. Its a tad frustrating, but the OTA has a staggered roll out. It doesn't depend on your location or carrier (assuming you've got takju or yakju firmware from Google), and will get to all devices eventually.
If you'd simply point your browser to the general forum, you'll already see several threads talking about the 4.1.2 update.
