That's the Canadian version if memory serves? Unless there's an official ota out there for you...you'd have to root and flash it....to try and pull an update from the server there are 2 ways to go about this...1) settings>about phone>software update.....2)settings>apps>all....scroll down to Google frameworks service and clear data.....when you go back to settings > about phone> software update if should now say "last checked 12/31/69" (something like that). Now check for the update again....try two or three times if it doesn't work the first time....these steps are really easy and will not harm your device in any way shape or form however....it might just be easier to check and see if there actually was an official OTA for your device....if there isn't you will have to root and flash your device or just wait....good 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.

i checked multiple times but it says your current software is up to date...
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?
thanks
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

[Q] Upgrade from 4.0.1 to 4.0.2

Hi, I just got my gsm galaxy nexus i9250 today with stock android 4.0.1. I heard that 4.0.4 will cause signal loss bug so I'm hoping that I can update to 4.0.2 OTA or 4.0.3 instead. So where do I download a stock 4.0.2 or 4.0.3 to flash it? There's only 4.0.4 factory image in the google developers site (xda don't allow me to post link because this is my first post).
Can someone help please? Sorry if this question have been asked before. Thank you.

you could do this. this stock 4.0.2 rooted that you flash via CWM. it was the quickest thing i could find for your request.

The problems with the network have been fixed in a small update (i think it was 500 kb or so) from google. You won't experience the issues we had 2 MONTHS AGO when you just flash version 4.0.4 with Build number IMM761. Android 4.0.4 is way better than 4.0.2...
How did you even get 4.0.1? my phone (european samsung version) came with 4.0.2 from the box back in march.

technically it is a custom rom, but all it is stock rooted with busybox.
as far as an official one. you could flash a say a yakjuux or another variant of yakju that would be official just updated by samsung instead of google.

I wouldn't do that! if I were you
to explain this I have to tell you this:
there are diffrent versions of the ROM available. When your phone comes from the US you have a big chance that you are running Yakuja (the official Google branded ROM). but when you live outside the USA or got your phone from a non-US batch you have diffrent "Samsung branded ROMS". there's not such a big difference other than samsung checks the update and leaves things out that should not be available in your country...
You might brick your phone really nasty when you go update it with the wrong "ROM brand". If you really insist on getting the latest update (4.0.4) and when it doesn't come to you in the normal OTA way. try this thread bellow:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895
In the process you will get the latest version of Android without the need for modified recoveries. This is "the legit Google way".

Oh if the problem is gone then I would just update it to the latest 4.0.4 then I'm just worried because I read a lot of article saying that 4.0.4 causing signal loss when phone is in sleep mode. I got a used one (like new) from Amazon maybe thats why it's still 4.0.1
Nope, my European stock rom came without Google books (comes standard with android). and did not get full functionality on the NFC (since our public transportation cards can be hacked using NFC). There is a difference between brands.
above that, the method posted in the link is how it should be done. If you check the official Android documentation you'll see the same description (but with some expensiver words). It's a proven way that is and has been reliable and save for a long time. of course I know what CWM is and does. But these ways are just ok.
I don't think the OP needs Root on his phone when he doesn't even know how to update a phone.
And in the technique described on the xda page I revered to (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895) you can actually relock the OEM after the switch, which means you have a very high chance of keeping the factory warranty (they will only notice it when they dig in to the phone really really really deep, but even then you would be considered to be a "stock" user in most of the cases).
When you have CWM sitting in your phones memory they will notice that. If you had it in your phones memory they will notice to (since the phone keeps past-version records on a save place).

Nope just update it.
if your updater doesn't work for some reason try this:
go to settings > hit apps > go to the tab "all" > open the settings for the app "google services framework" > hit "clear data" > hit "force stop" > go back to the main list in the settings app > hit "about phone" > check for updates (it should give you "last checked 1977 or so")
If you got this phone second hand and haven't factory resetted it yet. you should, the previous owner might have left traces from his usage or things that can compromise your privacy behind. this can be done from settings > storrage > factory reset
Good luck with android 4.0.4. You'll love it!

No, that is not a stock ROM, and no it is NOT just a stock ROM that is rooted with busybox. It is a deodexed, zipaligned ROM, with a non-stock kernel.
If you use that, you will no longer be able to use OTA updates to update to a new version -- you will have to re-install a full ROM.
As for flashing a yakjuux build, why??? It makes no sense. Why would he flash a build which would get updates later than a yakju build?

Yeah, he mentioned he didn't want 4.0.4, so you should recommend yakju 4.0.2, not a non-yakju build, as a non-yakju build will screw him if he wants any updates beyond 4.0.4.

[Q] Can I update my Verizon Nexus to Jelly Bean if Rooted?

I have seen that the official Jelly Bean update has come out from Verizon for the Galaxy Nexus, but my phone doesn't see it.
My phone is rooted but has no custom ROMs installed. Is anyone else having this issue or are you able to update? I'm just trying to figure out why my phone doesn't see the update. I go through Settings/About Phone/System Updates and it says that 4.0.4 is up to date with no other updates.
Do i have to un-root the phone to get the official update?

No the status of your phone being rooted or not will not change whether you're notified of the OTA. It will always notify you. If you're rooted and kept a custom recovery, the OTA will not be able to automatically install. Also, if you've changed or removed any files in the /system/ folder, the OTA will likely fail. If you've changed your radio the OTA will not apply either.

[Q] OTA Software Update

I updated to JB yesterday with the OTA on T-mobile. I am rooted and used OTA root keeper to restore root. I went to change my build.prop file to change the display density. What I didn't do was use the new build.prop from JB. So I softbricked my phone. I restored to UVALH2 and was going to get the OTA's to go back to JB. When I click on "Software Update" it says I am up to date. I noticed that my baseband is still JB's.
The question here is, does software update go off of what is listed for the Baseband or the Build Number?
Solved
Haven't made too many posts where I need to update afterwards. I decided to reflash UVLH2 modem. Once back in phone I went to about device and tried to do the SW update. It prompted me for download.
So, from what I can tell here, OTA are based upon your radio version, to answer my own question. Good day!
Glad you got it figured out. All of that is covered in the Official Jelly Bean thread.
This one is closed. If anyone uses search (ya right jk) and this thread comes up, just go to the above thread.

Not getting OTA 4.2.1 Update

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 .
