phone wont update to latest Jellybean - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

My friend has problems with his phone, when he got it back he no longer had jellybean 4.2 only 4.1
I've just checked, he has build: JRO03C.19250XWLH2
When he goes a manual update (Vodafone UK) it says no update found, but he HAD it before (and updated when he had it on Vodafone)
How can he get the latest OS back on his phone, as far as i can see, there is no branding, its raw android.... Very strange....
Thanks all.

Check if it's yakju. If it is then he should get the update. Or just flash the JOP40D factory image

I would go ahead and make the jump to AOKP MR1 Unofficial Nighllies...Better than stock and the battery life is much better than build one. Besides this the Beats+XLouder V6beta2 works beautifully for some real audio improvement across the board. Gmusic sounds epic now.

Also update the Kernel to the latest leankernel 5.8 for JB 4.2 and your GNEX:highfive: for some reason other Kernels are working but htis one provides best battery life for this ROM so far...
And give it a few days on a fresh install it sucks down the battery life but this seems lo level out to normal I am not sure what operations go on for the interim when you first install this ROM...

let them decide what they want to do with their phone.

thanks for the tip, he tried that actually and showed me in front of me, as a "google techie" sent him instructions how to do it, the date reset to a 1970 date, then when he did system update it just updated time and date to the correct time, but no update

yes, thank you for that! he doesnt want a custom ROM - why should he have to bother with a BETA firmware (cos thats what it is at the end of the day) - he just wants stock latest google.
its a puzzler thats for sure.
glad its not my phone! haha.
(if it was me, id root it and install a custom build - or at least force a stock manual build like i did once with my Google Nexus One, when vodafone weren't pushing out gingerbread)

i told you the reason why there was no update. he's not on yakju or takju which means samsung updates his phone. if he/you want him on the latest firmware, you need to flash the stock images from google.

What apps do you have running? Battery Monitor Widget caused periodic reboots (not blaming the dev, an app should never cause a reboot in Android, in theory at least) when I was on 4.0.2. Once I uninstalled it, the reboots stopped.
4.0.2 is buggy. Full stop. Look at your apps that run in the backround and uninstall any suspicious ones and see if that fixes your problem. You can reinstall when you get the OTA. 4.0.4 is rock solid, no reboots, even when I reinstalled Battery Monitor Widget.

I hope someone can post the radios as flashable zip. Gotta be patient hehe
I guess if u clear the Google services framework within app and press check for update... perhaps it'll work =]… if it doesn't the first time.. try 10 more times. It will say last checked on 1969 ... disregard that

Looks like it is rolling out (or at least starting to).
For anyone who has received it, would you mind looking in the log files in /cache/recovery and try and find the name of the update file (ending in .zip) please and post it in this thread. Thanks.
Cannot wait for the new radios. FC instead of FA. Wonder what they did?

Just reading through the comments on the article, seems a couple people are getting (Much) better signal strength. Whatever they did it seems to have worked! (Maybe they just poured butter all over the radio code?)

Potentially! Are they comparing them to the leaked 4.0.4 radios? Doubtful since they upgraded and were presumably on 4.0.2 lol.
Either way, someone needs to find the images and make a flashable zip. I need something to do at work, nah mean?
So if I am running Liquid (4.04) will all I have to do is flash the new radios once they are available?
Sorry for the noob question. Just got my nexus last week and new to the flashing scene.

Yes. Radios are compatible with pretty much anything. They are separate from the rom, and do not even "stick" with a nandroid.
OK I'm running the leaked 4.0.4... I'll have to revert to 4.0.2 yo receive this correct? And I installed Franco's kernel last night. Anywhere I can pick up stock kernel?

Don't hold your breath of course. The only reason I put any merit in this is one of the radio versions is listed in AOSP.

No, you are right -- you can't receive the update with a custom ROM, but a rooted stock ROM is perfectly fine. Bootloader lock/unlock makes no difference.

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.

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.

4.1.1 Jelly Bean OTA rolling out NOW for GSM devices!

It's official. The GSM Galaxy Nexus Jelly Bean FINAL OTA has officially started rolling out. Final release, folks! We ain't talkin' previews here.
Build version number seems to be JRO03C, rollouts for takju and yakju on maguro devices have been confirmed, no other concrete info yet on any other builds/versions.
Changes? Seems to be pretty much the same as JRN84D, probably with stability fixes, etc. But when comparing with ICS, there are many new features obviously.
OTA update links:
takju 4.1 JRN84D to final 4.1.1 (JRO03C) : Download official ZIP (thanks CocoCopernicus and mbirth!)
takju 4.0.4 IMM76I to final 4.1.1 (JRO03C) : Download official ZIP (thanks a lot lostinbeta!)
Yakju 4.0.4 IMM76I to 4.1.1 final JRO03C: Download official ZIP (Thanks a lot jellymelly)
Instructions on how to flash the update links, are on Efrant's thread here. Note that you need to be on 100% stock to be able to flash the zips. That means, your radio, bootloader, kernel, boot, system, etc should be completely stock. Rooting is fine though, the update should flash fine on rooted devices but you might have to restore root later on.
Update: Search functionality is NOT being removed with this update, as per this quote from The Verge's post:
Update: A Google spokesperson has informed us that the company has not pushed out any changes to search functionality in connection with the Jelly Bean update.

Run alogcat before you install, and look for a file name ending in .zip.
Or, install it, root, and then open the log files in /cache in a text editor and look in there.

Reverted to stock for JB OTA. Anyone else??

So i was playing around with the I/O leak of JB and it is gosh darn fast but i really want to see this update so i reverted back to stock ICS and locked my boot loader. Anyone else do this in wait for the OTA???
I have no interest in waiting really. I can live with a buggy phone as long as the essentials work. I love putting new rooms on and testing the features. I think that waiting for ota is pointless for most of the people here when they want the latest and greatest with mods and patches. However, to each there own and just putting in my two cents.

Nope, because 20 minutes after the first person gets it there is going to be a stock rom posted here that is prerooted and ready to go.
Completely no reason to lock the bootloader as far as I'm concerned.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
I'm waiting. Personally I prefer the complete package. I'm not even rooted. I haven't rooted since my Samsung Epic. The first one. I've been thru 4 Android devices since then. I just prefer the stock experience and I'd rather not flash something that I can't enjoy in its entirety due to bugs and functions not working. And flashing and modding gets old to me since I don't have as much time anymore.

i don't understand this thread, i thought these *were* OTA releases?? (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20843237&postcount=1)
Today I upgraded from (4.0.4 yakjudv IMM76K -> 4.1.1 yakju JRO03C) and it seems to be working perfectly. Can you clarify what you mean by the I/O leaked JB as I thought the version on that link will be the official release as everyone gets...
I'll be going back to stock to catch OTA, or grab the verified and official files if posted. I'm a bit of a purist so I like unmodified code if going for the OEM experience. I also prefer to root/install myself for learning/practice purposes vs using a "modified for me" stock ROM.
For me, a strong motivator for purchasing the Nexus was to learn/tinker with it. So going to stock JB first, then eventually trying the various ROM flavors that come out is very exciting to me.

Official releases out now are for GSM only, he may be referring to a previous leaked release before official or perhaps he has a CDMA device.
No offense but I don't get how installing from official updates is not stock
What I did:
1. downloaded 4.0.4 takju factory image
2. flashed it using fastboot
3. downloaded official OTA 4.0.4 takju to 4.1.1 tajku
4. flashed the ota using temporary cwm boot
5. factory reset
Won't this process give a pure stock experience? I didn't lock the bootloader because I don't have to.
Yes to stock experience. I mentioned "verified and official if posted". What I was referring to was xjman's post on using a 'pre-rooted' stock ROM. I'd rather root myself manually and know that the files came direct from Google untouched.
Your procedure is exactly what I'll be doing if I don't catch the OTA.
I tried to wait, but I couldn't so I flashed a stock 4.1.1 ROM. I'm impatient.

For me, a strong motivator for purchasing the Nexus was to learn/tinker with it. So going to stock JB first, then eventually trying the various ROM flavors that come out is very exciting to me.

Official releases out now are for GSM only, he may be referring to a previous leaked release before official or perhaps he has a CDMA device.

Completely no reason to lock the bootloader as far as I'm concerned.

Well no..... but since i was at the bootloader screen and its not that hard.
About a week ago I flashed a takju image over my yakju as the belief was takju would get it first... so I updated to 4.1.1 via methods shown here for OTA update and liked it....
But today I reverted back to 4.0.4 yakju simply because I didn't feel Wallet should reside on my phone if I can't see or use it, and instantly got the update over the air. Phone works just the same without the wallet weight. lol
I'm probably going to flash the full factory image when it comes out too.. I mean, why not. lol
Yeah. I'll look into custom roms for JB or see the 4.0 sense ROM port when its stable enough.

I dont understand. If you have one HTC device you want a non sense rom, but if you dont have one HTC you want ir.... Weard....
The same happens with other frameworks and ui changes.
Please dont look to my signature (but the s3 firmware is made for humans)....
