Completed JB 4.2.2 update, but still 4.1.1 - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hey everybody!
I've been using a combination of the xda-developers and the following site:
droidviews dot com /2013/install-android-4-2-2-jellybean-ota-update-on-galaxy-nexus-takju-yakju/
to install Jelly Bean 4.2.2 on my Galaxy Nexus HSPA Yakjuux.
I had difficulty installing the Windows 7 drivers but managed to get it done and the processes seemed to have run without hiccups, but when I load back into the phone and check the OS version, it is still 4.1.1
screeenshot: img.photobucket.com/albums/v154/mugen85r/error_zps79e3150d dot png
I did everything that the guide above listed, but the command I used to run the update was: adb sideload yakju-jdq39-factory-b2ebb5f3.tar
Any suggestions what can be causing this? I have searched google and haven't found anybody else that has had this problem.

I thought an update sideload should be .zip..

That's what I thought, but right off google's developers site it shows:

After renaming the extension to .zip, I run the process agin.
It goes 100% on command prompt then shows this on the phone itself.
Now send the package you want to apply
to the device with "adb sideload <filename>"...
Finding update package...
opening update package...

weird

You're trying to update with a full image instead of the ota url .zip, which is incremental. Try this link in your first post, it's .zip. or you could find it in one of the threads here.

Ahhhh....that explains it.
Well I found the following update: 07501b11ad3b.signed-yakju-JDQ39-from-JOP40D.07501b11.zip
I started the process, and it says the exact same thing as my previous post. Installation Aborted

You are on YAKJUUX not YAKJU. You need to wipe your phone and flash the factory yakju or wait for the update for the yakjuux version.

Rylake is right, i missed that. Read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895 and decide if you still want to update. Yakjuux ota may take a while, considering that's still 4.1.1 and that's only like 8 months behind, if it ever gets updates. I say go with the yakju conversion.

That explains it. I thought that I would be able to install it over Yakjuux. Well that's a learning experience haha.

Thanks for the link!
So since I have Yakjuux ICM 4.1.1, should I flash it to Yakju 4.1.1 and then how would I upgrade from there?
Use the JB 4.2.2 to upgrade from Yakju 4.1.1?
I don't have to do the updates in order correct? like 4.1.2....4.2.1 ? I'm guessing the 4.2.2 update would have all previous modifications/changes in the code?

You could just flash 4.2.2 directly. Of course keep in mind that you're going to be erasing your device first to make that possible.. from https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images

OTA Update failed

Woke up this morning and saw the system update message. It started to update but then I got a picture of the android with a red triangle. That stayed for a few minutes and the phone rebooted. Now I am still on 4.0.1 and there is no system update available.
Any thoughts as to what caused this or how to get the update to process?
For me the same problem.
I think something went wrong during the update. The installation of the update was already 30 minutes ongoing and nothing happened. After resetten the phone it started up with still 4.0.1 and no system update availiable.
Anyone an idee what went wrong?

I'm having the same problem. I think it's because CWM borks the update. Any ideas anyone? I was hoping to only do OTA updates until/if I start installing custom roms.

You cannot install OTA the updates if you are rooted and have Clockwork Recovery installed. The only way you can update to 4.0.2 is to either install one of the many custom roms available or revert back to the stock recovery.

Your link contradicts your reply.
Thanks for the replies all.
The problem is that I do not have CWM installed, and my GN is not rooted. I am very happy with stock ICS so this is the first phone I have had in over 10 years that I have not installed a custom ROM on.
One thing to note is that I did force the install of 4.0.1. I was experiencing the volume bug and had to leave on a road trip so i could not wait for the first OTA to roll out to me. But to do that I did fastboot boot not fastboot flash for CWM so after a reset I am back on the stock recovery.
So any other ideas how to get the update to restart? The bootloader is obviously unlocked if that makes any difference.
Thanks,
cj

I'm not sure what you are reading, but here it is:
1) Whether you have root or not, it makes no difference.
2) Having CWM vs. stock recovery does make a difference, but only somewhat. In both cases, you CAN install the OTA update. It's just that the procedure is a little different. With the stock recovery, the OTA will install automatically. With a custom recovery (like CWM) it will install, but you have to install it manually.

1- No one said root will make a difference.
2- This thread is regarding a user who receives an OTA update. If he does not have the factory recovery it will fail.

Unless I'm reading the original post incorrectly, the thread is about a user who received the OTA update and it didn't install. His questions were: 1) What caused this? and 2) How to get the update to process?
Saying that the OTA will fail if he doesn't have the stock recovery, I suppose, addresses his questions but, instead of just saying that, would it not be more helpful to tell him that the OTA doesn't install automatically with CWM, it just needs a different install process, which EddyOS pointed him to), instead of just saying it will fail. In any case, you are correct -- lets just tell all users to flash back the stock recovery to install OTA updates.
I have the same problem. I flashed google Yakju images over my bell yakjuxx images. Boot loader is unlocked obviously but not rooted and no cwm.
I did however flash a different radio, not sure if that was my issue. Now the update has disappeared so I can't retry.

(I suppose you have the GSM version because of your ATT logo)
As you are describing right now, you are not rooted and in stock recovery.
Try flashing manually the OTA 4.0.2 which you can find here: http://download.peteralfonso.com/maguro
If it fails, then the original OTA 4.0.1 you forced was not the real OTA from google, so reflash the 4.0.1 from the above link and then flash 4.0.2.
If you have he CDMA version then find the OTA for that.

Thanks efrant! Those instructions worked.
I DID however discover something that I have not seen posted anywhere.
It would appear (for obvious reasons) that the OTA updates checks for version integrity. Due to me installing a different radio (Bell GN radio) the OTA update aborted itself and I saw the abort again when trying to manually update. This time I could see that the "radio" was mentioned and aborted. I re-installed the original Yakju radio from ITL41F and did the manual OTA update and it worked!
Now I just have to re-install the Bell GN radio image.

Yeah, I should mention that in the first post. (You could have also removed the assert in the updater-script file, and it would have installed.)

Can I prevent this problem for future OTA updates? Say 4.0.3 is pushed out, should I remove the assert in the update-script file now? or wait until it says "there's an update available"?
I don't want to have to manually update every time because I used a different radio.
Thank you very much for the answers. I did not mean to cause such a fuss. I am aware of how to flash the image manually, as I did that to force the 4.0.1 update.
I guess what (as it turns out) I was really asking was, What caused this to stop? And how to I retry/restart the automatic update?
The only other info that I can think that is relevant here is that I am sure that I forced the actual OTA. I wonder if something happened during the flash, or since, that corrupted something that the update is checking.
Oh and it is an unlocked GSM Nexus though I am currently in the UK for about 6 months so I have given up my ATT contract for a Pay-as-you-go Lebara SIM while here.
Thanks again for the answers, next time I'll try to be more clear the first time.

When the next update comes out, you can either either flash back the original radio before updating, or remove the assert in the update-script file in the new update.

[Q] Android with the red exclamation appear after OTA

Hi guys, each time that I try to upgrade 4.04 by OTA, it stopped and appear the Android with the red exclamation on it.
I've used the 'WugFresh unlocked toolkit' to root/unlock Galaxy Nexus.
For install OTA 4.0.4 from Google, I need to lock the phone again?
If I back to default configs - using WugFresh again - the OTA, and after the root/unlock, work without problems?
Thanks.
That's the stock recovery you're seeing.
What images have you changed?
If you revert to the stock ones (radio/bootloader/etc) you should get the OTA.

You are seen that screen because you have something on your device that is not stock. (Unlocked and rooted makes no difference.)
To be 100% sure that an OTA update will install automatically, you need to have all of the following:
1) the radio that came with the ROM that you are using;
2) the stock recovery that came with the ROM that you are using;
3) the stock kernel that came with the ROM that you are using;
4) all of the original files in /system that came with the ROM that you are using.
Have a look at the thread here. It is for manual installation of an update, but the requirements still apply to an automatic update OTA.
So if I uninstalled apps to the system and do the lock/unroot, this will cause problems when I try to upgrade from version 4.0.2 to version 4.0.4?
I uninstalled Google Maps, Youtube and Earth.

Galaxy Nexus AOKP m5 Franco kernel m3
Yes, I read, but maybe I did not quite understand ...
To recap: I used Wug's Toolkit and now I can no longer install the 4.0.4 update official Google OTA. So I would like to know how to undo it, install 4.0.4 and then apply the Wug toolkit again.
According to the links, I need to undo the changes before, but I can not undo the root by Wug's Toolkit, because he can not download a file, appear an error message that could not be found.
What I wonder is, how to get back to what it was prior to applying the 4.0.4 update and then do the root again? Is that possible?
Thanks.

There are two ways to get 4.0.4:
1) Flash a full 4.0.4 ROM, which is what the link msedek posted is.
2) Upgrade 4.0.2 to 4.04, which is the link I posted a couple of posts back.
In the first case, you easily end up with a clean install, but your data is erased (so back up before)
In the second case, you need to make sure that you undo any modifications you made to the /system partition, the kernel, the radio, and the recovery. Then you apply the update, and you will have an upgraded ROM with all your data and settings intact.

Actually, this is true. I was having the same issues. When i rooted, I deleted system apps I did not want. For weeks and weeks I kept receiving the popup message saying that the update to 4.0.4 was available. When attempting to upgrade, it would always fail on reboot.
Just two days ago, I received the upgrade notice again. I immediately went into Recovery mode, and attempted to manually install the update file from the system directory. When I did, I received an error right away saying the update could not find "TabletBooks.apk" (I deleted Google Play Books since I dont use it).
I reinstalled a clean image of 4.0.2 I made with ROM Manager weeks ago, then applied the update to 4.0.4 again, and it ran smoothly with no errors, since all System apps were installed with the clean image I saved.
Hope this helps...

If you are going to install a clean image anyway, it doesn't make much sense to install 4.0.2 and upgrade to 4.0.4. Just install the 4.0.4 image immediately...

Well, I'm not sure where you got a stock 4.0.2 CWM-flashable file, but FYI, you can flash 4.0.4 the same way if you have a 4.0.4 CWM-flashable file (or just replace the 4.0.2 image with the 4.0.4 image in the same CWM-flashable file.

Thanks, that's good to know! I come from HTC phones (G1, Nexus One, etc), so Samsung and modding is kinda new to me.
I had a CWM-flashable 4.0.2 file because ROM Manager created the image for me when I first rooted and wanted a backup of a clean stock ROM. I wouldnt even know where to find a CWM-flashable 4.0.4 file on the web. I only know of the stock source files Google has posted. I read that those files can only be flashed with ADB on a PC.

Oh, you were referring to a CWM backup. I understand now.
But regardless, you can still flash the Google images via CWM, they just have to be packaged up in a CWM-flashable zip.

Use this to convert to yakju. Make sure you do all the optional steps in part D, and you will receive every OTA update. yakju is the first build that receives OTA updates, so I'm not sure I understood your initial concern.

not unless you modify some of the system files. if you leave everthing stock, you will get the OTAs properly and not have any issues.

Not if you follow the steps, and do the optional steps in part D. No problems.
Notes on optional items and other issues:
4) WHEN you get the update notification, IF you want it to install automatically, you will need to ensure that that you are using the corresponding boot, radio and recovery images for the .tgz package you downloaded. Otherwise, the update will not install automatically, but it will install using a custom recovery like CWM. See this thread for details.

what does this mean then??
means thats if you want the update to install, you need to have the radio, boot.img and recovery from the stock version that you are on. if you dont, it will fail on install.

These are the exact reasons why I went to 4.0.4 as well.
I think that it's worth it and I haven't had any issues either. In fact, it also fixed my random signal drop problems on the Rogers network as well.
Hi,
I did it and everything went good.but after i was done with everything a backed up my files with the galaxy nexus root toolkit 1.4 before and when i was restoring my files with that app it said something like "modifiying boot bla bla" cant remeber so im worried that now the boot file is different and im not gonna be able to install the updates when i receive ota updates in the future??

That's right, if you have a different kernel (contained in the boot.img), the next updates will not work. You need to flash the stock kernel. Like in the link I had posted earlier.
That's what happens when you try to take shortcuts by using toolkits -- you could have easily backed up your data yourself by running a nandroid script...

But i locked the bootloader again before i did the restore so you think the boot file now is different??

OTA 4.1 update from preview build

Basically I have the preview build of Jelly Bean (JRN84D) but it keeps alerting me to install the OTA version which fails, I know there are lots of threads about this but I can't seem to find the answer in them, I tried flashing the stock recovery but when I try to boot into it I get the Red exclamation mark and can't do anything with the volume or power keys, this is the same exclamation mark I get when trying to install the update.
I think the recovery file may be corrupt, is this the key to getting OTA update? Also my radio is XXLF1 if that helps. Thanks for any help offered, I watched the video and everybody hates noobs but I tried the solutions in other posts and it seems to have got worse.
EDIT: I can access recovery now, but the update still fails.

Flash the Stock Recovery/Radio/Bootloader for Takju from the hosted Google Factory Images through Fastboot. It won't erase your data/apps. For the Recovery, you will need to extract it manually from the image while the bootloader and radio should be standalone.

When you say the Takju Google Factory Image do you mean the 4.0.4 takju image? as that's the only one I can find on their site.
Thanks.

Flashed the radio, bootloader and recovery from it and it still doesn't work, if I press up and power button after it fails it gives me a status 7 error, might just flash stock and unroot if there's no other way.

What's the FULL error.
Also, are you using a recovery that is different from CWM 5.5.0.2 or 5.5.0.4? If so, get rid of it, and use one of those.

I'm using stock recovery because everything I've read says to use stock if you want to accept OTA updates, the full error is:

Where did you get the preview build? Based on that error, it would seem to me like you flashed a non-stock version of JB 4.1 like bigxie's ROM. If that is the case, you need to flash a stock ROM before any update can be applied...

Now that you've mentioned that name, yes that's the ROM I got, I'm gonna go ahead and guess there's no way to return to stock without wiping data is there?

Maybe. You can try this without wiping and see if it works. Then apply the JRO03C-from-JRN84D update form here.

And if I do that then will I be able to accept any future OTA updates through android and have it update automatically without having to flash the updates myself?

If you follow method 2, then yes, you will be able to automatically accept OTA updates and have it install automatically. BUT, you MAY need to do the first one (i.e., to JRO03C) manually (if you don't get it shortly after you flash JRN84D). After that, you will be all set for the next update.

I'll try it, thanks for the help.
EDIT: It worked! Did it without wiping and it accepted the OTA without needing to do it manually, once again thanks so much for helping!

[Q] Howto delete pending OTA update

I have a yakju GNex with stock 4.1 (unrooted). It has the 4.2.0 update on it - it has tried and failed to install this update several times.
I would like to delete this pending 4.2 update, so I'm wondering where I would find the relevant files.
I figure that, once I've deleted them it might automatically download and install 4.2.2 (and hopefully that will install properly), and if that doesn't work then I will try to manually flash 4.2.2. Either way, I'd like to start by deleting the pending update.
Thanks.

4.2.2 requires 4.2.1, which requires 4.2
you modified system files and thats why the OTAs fail to flash. i swear i'm beating a dead horse by saying that.

Thank you for clarifying about the OTA being dependent on each other. I take it that applies to the OTA, and not to the published Nexus images so I could still download 4.2.2 and flash it to the phone (bypassing 4.2).
I can see why you suspect that I have modified system files, but I have not. It has stock, unrooted, yakju 4.1 on it.
The only thing non-standard about it is that a Canadian GNex, with an unlocked bootloader, and flashed (via fastboot) to the standard Google firmware. But that is extremely common here, and the problem I'm having is not extremely common, so something must have got mucked up on the phone.
Regardless of how it happened, I would still like to delete the update files if it can be done w/o root.

Now I think that is wrong...
I 'reset' the phone - using the option in settings that erases user data.
It appears that this cleared the pending update, as a day later I was prompted with a new OTA install, but now it was for 4.2.2. I confirmed that I was still on 4.1.1 and it was offering me an OTA update to 4.2.2.

No, it did not. But I believe that the problem that prevented it from installing OK is the same problem which brought me here in the first place. I don't think it would have offered me the 4.2.2 if that update was not suitable for me.
In the end, I downloaded yakju 4.2.2 stock from the Android Nexus Images page, and then followed efrant's instructions in post#1 of this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895
I did each of the fastboot flashing steps, including the optional ones, to get the best chance of overwriting whatever was causing the problem. This worked and the phone is now running 4.2.2.
