You can flash the factory image. If you don't want to lose any data you neer this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2377307

The updates for that device are unfortunately controlled by Samsung, not Google. So your best bet is to flash to either takju/yakju, which can be accomplished via the guide mrgnex linked.
I don't really know how to do that

Then don't. It isn't mandatory. I assume eventually Samsung will get around to pushing the update out to you.

Yes. Basically:
1. Unlock bootloader if it isn't already. Note that this completely wipes your device, so backup pictures or whatever you don't want to lose in this process.
2. Flash factory image for takju or yakju your choice.

@Phone_Logic I just saw this thread. I can help you update over Teamviewer if you'd like. You have a new radio on your device which I'm sure a lot of folks here would like to try out.
I'd be happy to flash takju on your device and dump the radio at the same time. If you are interested, send me a PM.
EDIT: Actually, nevermind about the radio. I just checked the radio thread, and it seems like they already have that one.

I have created this thread to give a step-by-step on how to flash the latest yakju/takju (or mysid for toro users) build available on Google's developer site. (These are full ROMs. See this thread for updating to latest OTA build using incremental updates.)
This method works for earlier builds as well, and is essentially a "return-to-stock" method.
You can easily convert ANY GSM/HSPA (i.e., maguro) device to stock yakju (or takju) from any non-yakju build (yakjuxw, yakjuxs, yakjuux, yakjusc, yakjuzs, yakjudv, yakjukr, yakjujp, yakjuxe, etc.).

A number of people have asked me for the current Galaxy Nexus baseband as an update zip, normally because they have a shipping device without the retail release.
So, here it is, for flashing via ClockworkMod. I'll update this post as new versions are released. Obviously you do not need to use these if you are already up to date.

Sorry, may be a silly question. Is this baseband considered the most 'generic' available?
Reason I ask, my Nexus is from Docomo in Japan. My BB is SC04DOMKKD. the SC04D, not coincidentally refers to the local model for the nexus, I suspect DOM is somehow DOcoMo!?
As I understand, hopefully someone can confirm, ideally my local BB would have tweaks and what not for local radios/towers etc. so I should stick with my local one, no?
I have the same question about the Japanese Docomo model.
is there any way you can upload a version that is flashable through fastboot? I read its a lot safer to flash radios through fastboot then through recovery. thanks

I tried to post this on developers forum but i couldnt because im new here.
I have a Galaxy Nexus with a Custom 4.0.3 and I can't upgrade to 4.0.4 because assertions fail on install.
I read that i should to restore stock 4.0.2 but all links point to yakju-icl53f-factory-89fccaac.tgz in google android's page but this link is no longer available.
Somebody could help me to get this image and restore my phone Please.
Thank you in advance

Download Galaxy Nexus Root Toolkit from the developer forum. Then click 'flash stock + unroot'. the program will download the stock ROM for you and put you back to factory 100%.
Edit: Here's the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1454314
There are no problems, with 40.4. Flash the provided miages (Unpack the tgz) make sure, that you flash the radio AND bootloader first, though! (Then maybe restart, after flashing those (Into bootloader))

In part i would agree, however i've been using that toolkit for awhile now and it's never failed me. It's a sticky in the Android Gnex developer forum with plenty of exposure and comments that haven't had anything negative to say about it. Cautious is good though, don't take my word for it - read the thread and see what others have to say about it.

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.

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.

Just use a tool like Wugs or the GNEX toolkit to relock and unroot.

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.

Is it rooted?
Does it have any missing apps?
What ROM are you running?
The more details the better. If you are missing apps well that is your problem. Flash a stock ROM and boom. Then update.

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.
